Saturday waa an ideal -day. for
the Reunion of Confederate Veter
ans ot Randolph held at 'Asheboro
The weeks of rain ceased Friday
and Saturday the mud had disap
pear 1. Hundreds of people began
arriving early Saturday morning
and the warmth of the sun seemed
to penetrate the souls of both old
and young, causing a mingled pa
thetic joy to beam from every face.
The confederate veterans met at the
courthouse in the morning to enter
their names for membership in the
retired army of confederate warri
ors, whose ranks is rapidly thinniug
but . whose glory will live in the
hearts of true Americans forever.
A hundred and four, many bear
ing marks of battle, many tottering
witn age, wnne otners were sun
active as youths, applied for mem
bership in the camp, and at 11
o'clock formed in hue of march in
front of the courthouse undei com
mand of Capt. G. V. Lamb, the
oldest officer present. He-wasas-BiBtpd
hv Cant. W S. Lineberrv.
Lieutenant J. A. 'Rush and pri
vates r. ii. morris ana w. o
Croweon. At 11:10 Capt. Lamb
called the cmp to attention, and at
his command, lead by the Asheboro
Nightingale Band, the body moved
toward the Academy campus where
more thanSOO men and women and
children had gathered to welcome
the camp and provide entertain
ment for the Jay. The program of
the day opened with prayer by Rev.
H. A. Albright, of Moffitt, followed
by a short welcome address by Rev.
N. K. Richardson, pastor of the M.
E. Church of Asheboro. It waa ex
pected that Senator Overman, of
Salisbnrg, would address the assem
bly but a telegram from him about
11 o'clock announced his regrets,
saying he was unable to pass the
wreck on the High Point and Ashe
boro road in time to fill his appoint
ment. This was a great disappoint
ment to our people, but throwing
the meeting open for impromptu
speeches and camp experiences the
minds of the veterans were soon
surned toward the vivid camp fire
tcene3, both happy and pathetic
which made the day wear rapidly
away. Speeches were made by Vet
erans C Prest ell, T B Tysor, W. S.
Linebeir, H. C. Ingram, A. C. Mc
Alister, P. II . Morris and W. P.
Wood. These weie interspersed.
with music, lead by Miss Nannie
Bulla, at the piano, consisng oi
pathetic aira enthusiastically parti
cipated in by the audience aud
solos "Around the Camp Fire"
by Mrs. E. E. Kephart and "Tent
ing On the Old Camp Ground" by
Henry B. Martin. It was indeed
a pathetic 6cene to look at the large
concourse of veterans, who in young
er days ivould have shouted for joy
at the sound of those stirring
strain, but can now find relief
from their choaking patriotism and
enthusiasm in silent teais.
Ahont 10 o'clock dinner was
served on the campus and it was
truly sumptuous, rne latiies oi i
nnnntv had Drovided well fill
baskets, the contents of which were
spread on long tables, wnicn were
presided over by a committee con
aiBtrinc of a member from each fami
ly pre.enting a basket. The re
union closed about four o'clock, all
declaring it one othe most pleas
ant and ' interesting ever attended.

prove that race prejudice is stronger

You can imagine something of
the hospitality of the people from
"the welcome." Bedford has given
its name to, and derived its fx.mc
from its oolitic stone which is
found in larger quanities and finer
quality than any where else in the
world. The party was taken oat
to the quarries and although we
arrived there after stopping time,
the workmen agreed to work late,
in order to give us an opportunity
to see the process, which was most
interesting, large saws (run by ma
chinery) cat the stone in huge
blocks; the big craines would then
lift them into cars which took them
to machinery that cut them into
shape desired and polished. At
the time we were there they were
getting out the stone for the state
house at Frankfort . Kentucky.
Among the prominent buildings
which have been recently construct
ed of the Bedford (or oolitic stone)
are the Ninon Club, New York
City, Stokes Memorial Hall, Yale
University, State University, Ia.,
Univesity of Chicago, State House,
Jackson Miss., Federal Building at
Indianapolis and ' others. More
than 750 men are employed during
the summer months. Thedford
stone is shipped to all parts of the
United States and Canada.
St. Pauls cathedral and West
Minster Abbey, in London are built
of Portland stone of England which
is almost identically the same as
the Bedford ston?.
Uu our return to Bedford carri
ages met us m Station and took us j
ovr the town, streets were paved
with stone, churches, dwellings,
business houses and even fences
were built of it.
It is really cheaper than wood or
brick and certainly more beautiful.
After all of this feasting of the
eyes (aud brains) the Bedford ladies
seemed to think the innei-man need
ed feasting so at the Methodist and
Christian churches the Sunday
school rooms were converted into
banquet halls aud everything that
pleased the taste was there. The
women of the churches and town
tveie there' serving and welcoming
the visiters.
The members of our car were as
signed to the Christian i.-hurch. The
usual speech making came off just
after our delicious supper which was
tit for the gods, and a poem which
was composed uy Mr. Bodkin, of
California, u member of our car, was
read and by request ot Mr. Bodkin
was pat to music to "Kally Round
the Flag." Iu a short time every
one was singiug, '"Indiana Forever."

BRYAN IS COMING.
North Carolina Committee Met Hint
In New York.
NO DATE COULD BE GIVEN AT
THAT TIME.
Interest In the Anti-Child Labor Lw
Inrreasin. Kecent Oevelopments
Show that Law is Being Violated
in the Mate.
Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 3, 1906.
It seems to be quite probable that
Mr. William Jennings Bryan will
be iu North Carolina some time
within the next six weeks. If he
can arrange the date so as to visit
North Carolina during the State
Fair, which begins six weeks hence,
he will do so, as that is the time he
is most wanted and also the t'me he
would certainly attract the greatest
audience. If he cannot do that his
visit wi.l probably be earlier, possi
bly within a month from this date,,
during a tour to be arranged so as to
cover points in other adjacent states.
It is still probable that Mr. Bry
an can come to Raleigh during State
Fair week, so as to enable many
thousands to hear him who other,
wise would not. Of course the in
trinsic merits of the fair will not be
affected by the presence or absence
of the distinguished Nebraskan, who
returned from across the Atlantic
last week and was guen such a great
reception and ovation in New York
where thousands of the leading
Democrats from all the states had
gathered to join in welcoming him-
home again, lne JSortn Carolina
committee extended to him the for
mal and pressing invitation to come
to the btate r air ana his snswer was
to the effect stated above. The
great State Fair will this year be
even greater then ever as a fair, per
se, and secretary rogue has secured
some of the finest attractions in
the country in the amusement.
There are evidences almost every
day that the anti-child labor
law in being violated in some of
mills and factories of this state.
The latest instance brought to light
also brought death to the little fel
low who was employed at an age
which the law is supposed to pro
hibit. The daily newspapers print
a story of the terrible mangling and
instant death to the little lellow
named Fred Pe irson, "aged eleven
years," who was employed in a fur
niture factory at lieuoir, . V.
Young as he was he was put to
work "running a moulder-' aud
was caught in the belt and "hurled
to instant death." The dispatch
adds that the bov was the son of
George Pegram of (iamewell, etc.,
so the child was not au orphan and
did not have a dependent mother
to support, and therefore no excuse
existeu for putting the lad of that
age to work iu violation of the plain
terms of the law. homebody will
have to feel the weight of prosecu
tion iu cases like this before they
are stopped.
GRADED SCHOOLS OPENED.
I.are Increase In Opening Attendance.
Census Sliows Increase.
The Asheboro Graded Schools
opened Alouday morning with a very
good attendance, much larger than
at tne opening last year, but as com
pared with the school census there
was only a little more than fifty per
cent, of-the white children enrolled.
The school census just completed
by Superintendent Chas. M. Staley
shows that there are of echool age in
Asheboro 407 white children and 150
colored children, which is an in
crease for the whites over last year
of 10 per cent, and for the colored
20 per cent.
The number of children en-olled
in the schools is white, 261; colored,
112. This, however, is an increase
over the opening last year of 20 per
cent.
Barney Leonard was shot and fa
