General Lee was commander of the United Confederate Veterans Associa tion, and the most popular of the old Confederate officers ot the South, and ever since the war had been giving all his available time to the upbuilding of his State.

C, May 27 An event of unusual interest in Edenton social life was the tea given by Miss Mar garet Bond on May 21st, to commem orate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the building of her house and its continuous occupation by her family for almost as many years. This residence, commonly known as the "Cupola House," stands on Main street. As you enter the old fashioned ear den. shut in from the gaze of the curious by a high board fence, you feel that you have left the twentieth century world behind yoi and stepped back into another age. This illusion is not dispelled as you enter the rose embowered porch and are ushered through the wide hall into the presence of the charming old host ess, now in her eighty-eight year, who, sitting erect in her chair, her face framed by white curls and a wkite rose in her hand, makes a fitting subjects for the painter's brush. She receives her guests with the stately courtesy of olden times, and displays with pridte the many relies of the past, which she has preserved with reverend care. The room is full oi handsome bid fur niture and portraits, but the most prized object Is the portrait Ot Mrs. Penelope Barker, the great aunt of the hostess, who made herself and Edenton famous by presiding over the Edenton Tea Party. AssistingMiss Bond in gracious hos pitality to their guests are her cousin, Mrs. Skinner, and her niece, Miss Til lie Bond, the latter attired in a direc toire gown ot rich brocade, which was worn by her great-grandmother more than a hundred years ago, and is still in an almost perfect state of preserva tion. In the dining-room, across the hall, the lovers of the antique can again feast their eyes. The room is In itself a curio, with its high wainscoted walls, old-fashioned mirrors, massive mahog any sideboard and grandfather's clock, the latter purchased 130 years ago by Parson Pettigrew, while on a trip to Europe, for Dr. Dickinson, the grand father of the present owner. The only modern things about this room are the sprays of crimson rambler trailing over mirrors and banked every where, and the coterie of lovely girls, who dispense cat-. e and sandwiches and serve tea from the exquisite old china tea service brought from England in 1777. Among the delicacies served are tea cakes made by the hostess herself from a recipe, which made her grand mother's tea drinkings famous a cen tal y ago. About 150 people registered in the guest-book during the afternoon, among whom we note the following out-of-town, who were returning Irom the diocesan council of Eastern Carolina: Rev. Walter Smith, Charlotte; Rev. George Lay, Raleigh; Rev. T. P. Hoe, Mr. and Mrs. Calden, Mrs. and Miss James, Wilmington; Mr. Geo. C. Roy all and Miss Sue Collier, Goldsboro; Major B. R. Huske, Fayetteyille; Rev. Y. T. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon, Miss Gor don, Mrs. Dennis Piggs, Williamston; Mrs. Gibble, Miss Ruth Windsor and Mr. R. R. Cotton, Cottondal.

Strong Movement to Send Southern Committeemen Unfettered to Denver Convention. (Special to the Argus.) New Orleans, May 29. "Bryan can get more delegates and fewer votes than any presidential candidate in the his tory of National elections," is the way a leading Louisiana, Democrat sums up the chances of the Nebraskan, which condition, in a large measure, explains why Louisiana is strongly inclined to go to Denver with an uninstructed del egation. In fact, the hue and cry for unfettered delegations is spreading rap. idly through the Independent Democ racy of the South, and while Alabama is the latest addition to the Bryan fold, the eleventh-hour fight put up by the Johnson supporters was, in its way, a revelation of surprising strength on the part ot a candidate whose appear ance before the South is of such reeent occurrence. Business men, who have had to bear tue first brunt of erratic national ad ministration are advising their friends and correspondents in the interior to "go slow" and not to pledge them selves or their States in advance, but to give Johnson or any ether candi date a chance to be heard, before they tie themselves up to a policy whih might prove even more erratic than that of the present administration, or bind themselves to a politician whose abiKty to get delegates, but not votes has twice been discovered, to the disasterous defeat ot the Democratic party. Governor Johnson, it is stated will make a fiarht before the Denver con vention, such as will stir the blood o those Southerners who love to see i game fighter battle for his laurels, and take victory or defeat with equal gen erosity. Johnson will bring toDenve an unbroken record of victories over Republicanism in his own State. His successful-tilts with -James J. Hill and the railroad combines, the abolition ot railroad passes, the two-cent railroad fare, his even-handed justice to labor and capital alike, and his progressive and valuable assistance to the agricul tural and 'manufacturing interests have marked him as a man big enough to do bigger things in abig way, should he become the occupant of the White House; while his firm belief in ihe su premaey of the Caucasian race, his op position to the "force bill" and his conviction that the people ot the South should solve their own problems in their own way, has created an extremely friendly disposition wherever his strong pro-Southern sentiments are known. "On to Denver uninstructed; let the best man win," is the fast-growing conviction North as well as South, and with a fair field and no favor, the Min nesotan will enter the fray as a "fight ing candidate", who has an uninter rupted string of victories behind him, and who, his supporters aver, can cap ture votes, if not delegates, and if nom inated will prove for Democracy the long-desired "candidate who can win".

BOY TORTURED BY AWFUL HUMOR Almost Covered with Eczema No Night's Rest for Nearly a Year Feared Lifelong Disfigurement All Treatments Failed and Limit of Endurance Seemed Near. PERFECT RECOVERY IS DUE TO CUTICURA "With the exception of his hands and feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly a year without helping him an jr. While they were very kind and did all m their power, yet nothing seemed to re lieve him. And I had tried many rem edies sent to me by kind friends but they all failed. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. ' Many a time ho looked as if his ears would drop off. Friends com ing to see him said that if he got well ha would be disfigured for life. "When it seemod as if he could pos sibly stand it no longer, I decided to try Cuticura. I bought a cake of Cuti cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I used them in the evening and that was the first night for nearly a' year that he Blept. This may sound exaggerated to you, but in the morning there was a great change for the better. In about 6ix weeks you could not have told that he had ever had anything wrong with him. I treated him twice a day for six months and at present he has a fine complexion and not a scar on his body. This story may seem overdrawn, but neither worda nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering and how he looked. Our leading phy sician, Dr. , recommends the Cuti cura Remedies for eczema.
