Distinguished War Record.
General Metts was In his 80th year,
having been born at Klnston, March
16. 18jZ?He was a son ut Frederick
Metts, Jr., who later moved to Wil
mington. General Metts entered the
University In the fall of 1300, and on
the outbreak of the War-Be;ween the
States, he Joined the Wilmington rifle
guards as a private, which became com
pany I of the Eighth North Carolina
regiment. Thig regiment became
,known,a&_the lStteMfrglment when the
States organized ten regiments of
i troops for the war. .
[ "Private Metts was speedily promot
ed td corporal and served as one of
j the color guards of the reg-.ment with
It at Camp Wy^tt near Fort Fisher,
and also In South Carolina. Upon the
expiration of his enlistment of on?
yoar in ir.e volunteers, tie re-enlisted
as sergeant of Company G., Third Reg
indent, of which Gaston Meares was
Colonel. This regiment received its
1 first baptism of blood In the battles
j around Hiehmond. Sergeant Metts
| t>ore himself with conspicuous courage
j at. thu battle of Cold Harbor, where he
reformed a Dart of the regiment. At
IIim l)aitl(i <Jf maivern mu, ne was a

the Held,
Wounded at Gettysburg
General Metts became We senior sec
ond lieutenant of his company, later
serving as commissioner adjutant for
his regiment. He showed his bravery
in many battles and won high praise
for his gallantry. His regiment by
forced marches reached Gettysburg on
the evening of July 1st, 1863, although
the brigade was not seriously engaged
until the next evening. Being on the
left of the line at Calup-s Hill, they
drove the enemy from tne wrst defen
ses, and Lieut. Metts, leading his men
forward, was soon hotly engaged with
in 75 yards of their second line of
breastworks.
There he fell from a rifle ball that
passing through his'right breast and
lung Inflicted a terrible wound. On
the withdrawal of the Confederate
forces he fell Into the hands of the
enemy, but was cared for by young wo
men from Baltimore, although he nev
er fully recovered from the wound.
He was left on the battlefleld In such
seflous condition that It was not
thought he could recover. In August
of 1864 he was exchanged and sent
South.
During his captivity he had been pro
moted to captain of his company, and
in December 1864 he joined his com
pany at Staunton. He took part in
all the hardships and experiences of
those memorable last days. The night
before the surrender at Appomattox
Captain Metta accompanied a band to
serenade General Lee. ,
Upon returning to Wilmington, he
shared In the hardships of that period,
and by strict attention to business es
tablished himself as a merchant and
broker, continuing active In business
until the end of his long and eventful
career.
He retained his interest tn the cause
of the Confederacy through the years
and often wrote articles for the papers
concerning the activities of North Car
ollna troops in the War-Between- the

For ihe pant t?n ?pari Tha mnthnila |
I have used with reference to the Com- |
hpulsory Attendanco Imvi nave ?1?*j
[me-ln_,the position. and i"" r^ven m?|
the responsibility which tbe law in
tended should be the parents part. In
? Other word? the law m?? that hefnr?
j'BtOliping 'k cklld irom school a parent
shall get a permit from the teacher or
the Board of Education, or,"it it is nec
essary ti stop the child before the
parents can get in touca with the sup
'erintend#ht of public welfare they
' shall Immediately notify the said sup
erintendent and ask for n ne.rmlt if
the reason for stopping the child is
one which the teacher cannot lawfully
accept. '
Instead of carrying out the law in
Oils ?he methods I have used have
"Seen to write the par""" uniting why
^the child was kept out uf school. stall
ing at the same time the law required
j a parent to have a permit beforeTieep
; in? the child out scnool. In doing
i this I have been asking the parents to
[do something the law required them
jtft -?ItluAn my ff rHmmn mm* T
[have rrosecuted only in those cases
I in wnicn the parent paid no attention
|to my notice. My reason for trying to
apply the lawless stringently than the
way la which It is Written wfs that it
was a new one and If It was enforced
rigidly before the people * ere ac
quainted with the steps necessary to
De taxen lo Keep a child out of school
It would probably cause some hard
ships and, too, it was my belief that
\*hen they became acquainted with the
'law they would apply for a permit
I when it was necesfcary to atop a child
Ifrom school. Instead of this the par
lents have in .many cases Kept a child
'out school for two weeks, some times
?even lunger, without asking for a per
' mit and paying no attention to my
.not ices-mull warrant win < umirit fw
? their arrest. This has made the en
forcement of the law extremely diffi
I cult and has not g. *en us tne attend
ance, at school we_ should Iiave had.
(Therefore; beginning November the
first I M-ill ma, HrilB ftnV I1
ing the cause of the chllds absence and
? the law will be applied exactly as it is
j written and if a teacher reports a child
j kept out of school Illegally; or without
permit, a warrant will at enee?be
1 issued against the parent of the child
j for violation of the Comfmlsorv At
; tendance Law.
nnfATi-nmnn - Hi n 1.
will not necessarily cause any*hard
fship upon any one for'it preWdes that
when a child is kept out of school for
immediate family, poverty, physical,
-?w menial iuLdpaully, ui wflen tney
live over two and a half miles from
L,?ehool by tho nourost traveled route
I the teacher may excuse them WHEN
i SHE IS NOTIFIED BY THE PARENT
OF THE CAUSE OF THE CHILDS
ABSENCE.
1 In cases where it is absolutely nec
essary for a child to be kept out of
.school to assist with work in the home
j or on the farm a permit may be given
excusing the child from school for a
few days to do such work, but if a
child is reported by the teacher as be
ing absent for farm or home work
without a permit from the Board ot
Education through the superintendent
of public welfare then such parents
| will be prosecuted for violation of the
i Compulsory Attendance' Law.
To obtain a permit to keep a child
out of school will not necessitate ? a
parents coming to Loulsburg to see
me for if they will write me a letter
stating fully why the child is requir
ed at home, the work it is wanted to
do, the chllds name, age and school a
permit may be issued to them.
In this carrying out of the attend
ance law It is entirely for the best in
terest of the child and I sincerely ask
for the cordial support of every par
ent and teacher in the county.
