Bleigh Post, March 10.
The Legislature of North Carolina

work is now a matter of history for
the perusal and endorsement or con
demnation of the sovereign people of
Noi-th Carolina.
The session closed at the hour of 1

An unusually large number of the
members remained in the'city for the

! time for which they received pay ex-
pin d last Saturday. The last roll-
call showed seventy-nine members of
the House present.

THE PROPER PLACE' FOR LEE
STATUE.
So Says Colonel Livingston in Ans
wer to Some of the North
ern Kickers.
Washington, March 8. Colonel
Livingston has made a contribution
to the current discussion oyer the ad
visability of Virginia putting a stat
ue of Robert E. Lee in statuary hall.
In the course of a series of interviews
which appear iu a local paper, Col
onel Livingston is quoted as saying:
"This talk against the Lee statue
is all misdirected. Virginia has been
given the right to place the statues
of two of her sons in Ihe hall, and
that right cannot be taken away, al
though there may be a great deal of
fuss and feathers about the accept
ance of the statue by Congress. The
Marquette statue was never accepted
by Congress, but it remains in statu
ary hall all the same.
Georgia will have a statue of Alex
ander Stephens in the hall. He was
vice-president of the Confederacy.
If hatred of the Confederacy is at the
bottom of this movement why any
more objection to Lee than to Steph
ens. Both represented a principal
and each in his way did all he could
to make that principle permanent.
If Kansas wants to place the statue
of John Brown in the hall no one can
object. If Kansas thinks he was one
of her great men nobody can object
to her ideas of what great men are.
The reflection will be on Kansas the
same as will be the case as to Lee if
there is any reflection."
WORLD'S RICHEST MAN.
Leslie's Weekly.
The late Cecil Rhodes cut so colos
sal a figure in the affairs of South
Africa that he quite overshadowed in
public attention his partner in a great
enterprise that made both of them
immensely wealthy. This obscure
man was Alfred Beit, who was con
nected with Rhodes in the working
of the fabulously rich diamond mines
ot Kimberley, which have yielded
10,000,000 a year. Mr. Beit, who
has been dangerously ill at Johannes
burg, with an apoplectic attack, from
which, it is believed, he will entirely
recover, is thought by many to be j
the richest man iu the world. His
wealth is estimated as high as nearly
a billion dollars, while even a conser
vative reckoning makes it at leas
$300,060,000. He owns most of tlx
Kimberley diamond fields, controls !
the cutting industry in Hamburg,
and is interested in many other en
terprises paying large profits. He is
the most successful promoter in the
Old World. While Rhodes was the
forceful and aggressive partner, Beit
was always careful and touched no
investment that did not bring in
good returns. . Though a quieter and
less estentatious man than Rhodes,
he had greater influence in South
Africa than the "Colossus." Born in
Hamburg forty-eight years ago, Mr.
Beit first went to Africa at the age of
22. He worked long enough in the
diamond field to see his opportunity,
and then returned home and got his
father to aid him in buying mines.
Rhodes, backed by the Rothschilds,
contested fiercely with him for a
time, but they finally made peace
and joined forces. Mr. Beit has a
magnificent palace in London, but he
is unmarried and has shown no de
sire to enter society.

EDWARD HUGHES OF LA
GRANGE PERHAPS
FATALLY SHOT.
The Kennedys Attack the liughes
Brothers at the End of a
Suit Growing Out of
a Fight.
Kinsloii, March 9. Mr. Edward
Hughes, p.. prominent young man of
LaG range, was shot and mortally
v. cinuled this afternoon by Mr. Jesse
L. Kennedy, of Falling Creek.
The tror.hle to-day grew out of the
tight between Hughes and Will
Kennedy, son of Mr. Jesse L. Ken
u?dy. The fight took place in La
Grange about two months ago,
Hughes striking young Kennedy
with a .billiard cue. The case was
tried in court to-day, Hughes sub
titling and paying the cost, which
was small.
Immediately after the conclusion
of the ease, while Hughes and his
brother Lewis Hughes were sitting
on the steps of II . W. McKinne's
store in front of the court house, the
Kennedys, father and sou, walked
over to them and young Kennedy
struck Ed. Hughes with a stick.
Lewis Hughes caught and held Will
Kennedy, whereupon Mr. Jesse L.
Kennedy fired at Ed. Hughes with
rt.-Tr-caUbre pistol, missing him.
Hughes turned to run, wheu Mr.
Keunedy fired the second time, the
ball entering the back about six
Indies below the heart, ranging for
ward and lodging in the abdomen.
The doctors have not recovered
the ball and think the young man
cannot live. Mr. Kennedy is held
in custody by the sheriff to await de
velopments. The shooting took place between
five and six o'clock, while court was
in session near by.
GEN' E FRANKLIN DEAD.
He Whs a Classmate of GenT Grant
and Took an Active Part in
the Civil War.
Hartford, Conn., March 8. Major
General William Bull Franklin died
to-day, at his home in this city, aged
SO years. lie was born in Franklin;
Ph., in and was the son of W.
S. Franklin, who was clerk of the
House of Representatives. He was
a class-mate at West Point of Geu'l
U, S. Grant.
.He served in the Mexican war. In i
1SG1 lie was appointed Colonel of the
Twelfth United States Infantry and
immediately was made Brigadier
General of volunteers.
FARMER RANSOM.
Charlotte Observer.
The Raleigh Post conveys the in
formation that "former Senator Ran
som, who was removed from the
United States Senate to make place
for Farmer Marion Butler, sold his
last year's crop of cotton for $76,
356.60, and the seed therefrom for
S24(000, a total of $100,356.60 for one
crop." There is perhaps no indeli
cacy in saying, since he laughs and
talks about it himself, that General
Ransom, while in the Senate, was
always heels over head in debt and
was constantly harassed by creditors.
Having, by its invitation, quit the
service of the public, in which he
could not make a living, and having
gone to work for himself, he has
grown rich and is now the largest
farmer and, excepting Mr. Vander-
bilt, the largest land-owner In the
State. .

Monuments to Be Erect
ed There.
Governor Aycock announced 1
yesterday evening his .decision
to
recommend the locat!
of both the
Nash and the Davidson monuments
at Guilford Battle Ground, This
ends a vigorous tight which has been
on since the Governor was requested
by the Secretary of War, two weeks
ago, to make the selection, the con
tention having been for various other
localities.
The Society of the Cincinnati and
members of the Nash and Davidson
families urged that the Nash monu
ment be placed in Nash square, Ra
leigh, ane the Davidson monument
in Charlotte.
The Daughters of the Revolution
asked that the Nash monument be
placed in Nash square, Raleigh, and
the Davidson monument at David
son College.
The Guilford Battle Ground As
sociation and the people of Greens
boro, along with Congressman K itch
in, who was very instrumental in se!
curing the passage of the bill in Con
gress, insisted that both f houid be ou
Guilford Battle Ground; contending,
in fact, that it was the understand
ing that they should be on this bat
tle ground when the bill was passed,
and that the bill could not have got
ten through with any other under
standing. It will be remembered that the bill
directed the Secretary of War to as
certain the wisb.es of the Governor
as to the location and be governed
accordingly, as far as was practi
cable. The monuments are to cost $;",000
each and will be erected under the
direction of the Secretary of War.
A hill has just passed the House
and Senate authorizing the Guilford
Battle Ground Association to dedi
cate the ground to the United States
governmen. In this way the sites
for the two monuments will be deed
ed to the Federal government.
