The fight against the sale of
whiskey in Durham continues as
violaters are brought into court,
and new phases of the question
are presented either in the prose
cution or in the method of sel
ling the fire water almost every
case that comes up.
In the police court last Satur
day, T. - H." Scoggins, who was
proprietor of a saloon here be
fore the town was voted dry,
was up on a charge fcr violating
the V alts law in taking orders.
When the case was called it was
dismissed, but the attorney for
the anti-saloon league announced
that it was only done so that the
case might be fixed up in better
shape.
Rnbberj Saturday night
. J. W. Terry, who lives
near Bahama, came here last
Saturday with fruits and other
produce to sell. About 9 o'clock
Saturday night he had told all
his load except about one bushel
m m
oi apples, a negro man ap
proached and agreed to buy
these if Mr. Terry would deliver
them to his home. Finally Mr.
Terry agreed to do this and
started with the negro on the
wagon.
During the trip, and from
SI .
what can be learned the negro
carried Mr. Terry through what
is known as Sugar Hill. Mr.
Terry was assaulted, the blow
causing him to lose conscious
ness. When he came to him
self the negro had him covered
with a revolver and was going
through his pockets, after re
lieving him of his posessions the
negro jumped off the wagon and
made his escape. Mr. Terry
came up town as soon as possible
and reported the matter to the
police, and they began working
on the case. At last accounts
they were unable to get a clue
that would justify an arrest.
The city schools will open next
Monday, Sept 2. All repairs

Unveiling ol Corf :derate Monument
, In f Msboro Last Friday.
The unveiling of a monument
to the Confederate dead of Chat
ham county, which took place at
nttsboro , last Friday, was at
tended by thousands of citizens
and visitors. The following is
from the account furnished the
News and Observer by Edward
L. Conn: ,
PROCESSION OF VETERANS.
The veterans met at 10:30 o
clock in the street south of the
courthouse, and under the di
rection of Chief Marshal John R.
Lane, formed in companies for
the parade. Scores of children
joined in the rear of the proces
sion, carrying bouquets of flowers
and evergreens, significant of
the undying love they have for
the cause of their fathers. The
children deposited their floral
offerings upon the base of the
monument after the unveiling.
The soul-stirring procession
proceeded up Hillsboro street to
the beautiful residence of Major
H. A. London, where the vete
rans opened ranks and received
Chief Justice Walter Clark, cra-
torofthe day, and the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, and
countermarching escorted the
distinguished speaker to the
stand fronting the handsome
court house.
The procession wai led by the
Ramseur Band of fifteen pieces,
headed by J. O. Forrester, of
Chatham county. This aggresra-
tfbn of musicians is one of the
best organizations of the kind
ever formed in the State, and
the martial airs, played with a
flourishing mastery of music and
instrument, swept the hearts of
the crowd and raised their spirits
to a high pitch.
THE MONUMENT.
Under a veil of white the mon
ument was hidden from view till
twenty children, prettily attired,
each representing a Chatham
company, and headed by little
Jack Lane, the six-year-old
grandson of Col. John R. Lane,
pulled the cord that lifted the
veil and revealed one of the love
liest of monuments ever erected
in North Carolina. The shaft
and bronze statue which sur
mounts the monument rise to the
height of twenty-seven feet. The
bronze figure represents a fully
equipped Confederate soldier with
his gun at parade rest, a silent
sentinel that will watch ages
pass, and stand as an everlasting
index to the greatest glory of the
South, directing unborn genera
tions in the way of the duty of a
citizen and the honor of a man
This grand work of art is made
of standard government bronze
and is seven feet in height. All
four sides of the first die are pol
ished and the remainder of the
monument has a smooth surface.
The first base is seven feet square
and sixteen inches thick, placed
on a mound two feet high made
of concrete cement, sand and
stone. The second base is five
feet, eight inches square and
twelve inches thick. The third
base is four feet, four inches
square and sixteen inches thick.
The first die is four and a half
feet high by three feet square.
The first cap is four feet square
and nineteen inches high. The
second die is six feet, eight inches
high and two and a half feet
square. The second cap is three
feet, four inches square and nine
teen inches high.
The monument was the master
work of a master workman, C. J.
Hulin, proprietor of the Durham
Marble Works, and is a credit to
North Carolina workmanship.
i he granite from which the
monument was made was from
Mount Airy. ,.'
It was a gala day for the town.
The streets were a scene of love
liness, with beauty everywhere.
the stars' and bars floating from
nearly every building.
The choir, composed of beauti
ful women, sang with thrilling
sweetness the stirring hymn,
"The Bonnie Blue Flag." The
song brought tears to the eyes of
young and old, but the martial
tune of Dixie was again struck
up by the band and the people
were brought to their feet.
The orator of the day, Chief
Justice Clark, was introduced by
Major London. Mrs. H. A. Lon
don presented the monument to
the veterans. ' .
THE MONUMENT UNVEILED.
At exactly 12:30 o'clock the
monument was unveiled amid a
furore of patriotic exuberance,
revealed the following inscrip
tions on the granite shaft:
On the north side: "C. S. A.
1861-1865. To the Confederate
Soldiers of Chatham County. Our
Confederate Heroes."
On the east side: "Chatham
Furnished 1,900 Soldiers to the
Confederacy. About 1,400 En

Chatham Enlisted in Companies

On the south side: "This
Monument, is the Gift of Those

Mrs. H. A. London, President,
On the west side:
"We care not whence they came.
Dear to their lifeless clay,
Whether unknown or known to
fame,
Their cause and country still
the same,
They diedand wore the gray."

the veterans, after which the an
nual meeting of the Chatham
county camp was held and offi
cers elected for the ensuing year.
Sent Over Without Bail.
Raleigh Miller was before the
mayor Monday morning on the
charge of burglary. After hear
ing the evidence he was bound
over to the Superior court with
out bond.
The facts in this case are: Sat
urday night about ten o'clock
Miller was caught in the ho iseof
William Moore, who lives in
Hayti, and the evidence tended
to show that he had stolen about
$z in money. Moore s wife was
in the bed when she heard some
one in the house, and at about
the same time heard her hus
band coming in. Miller escaped
through a window. Owing to
the fact that the door was open
when Miller entered he cannot be
tried for his life, but the mayor
thought best to hold him for the
grand jury.
The mayor had nineteen other
cases to claim his attention Mon
day, eleven of which were for
drunks.
