General Gordon announces in a formal letter to the Confederate veterans that a new commander will have to bo elected at the Nash ville reunion. He reviews the progress of the organization of veterans and the present status and announces that he will retire. Just who the. successor . will be it is now impossible to say. All of the Southern States have .'com manders of Confederate veteran's and General Gordon's successor will be one of the commanders. The commander will be elected at the Nashville reunion.. General Gordon has been at the; head of the veterans since their Organiza tion. General Gordon's address follows : . "Atlanta, Ga., June' 10, 1897. "To My Confederate Comrades: It was my proud privilege to an nounce officially a few days since that- a thousand camps have been incorporated into the United Con federate Veterans, a glorious bro therhood organized for non-partisan and noble ends. All these camps will be represented, I trust, in our annual reunion at Nash ville. This remarkable growth of our organization must be to you a source of sincere pride and pleas ure. It will be welcome news to brave and magnanimous men in every section of our country, who comprehend its philanthropic and patriotic aims. To me it is a source of profound gratification that our brotherhood has reached its present vast proportions dur ing the years in which you have so steadfastl" and with such unpar alleled unanimity honored me with the position of commander-in- chief. The growth is the more re markable because it has occurred in an organization which has no partisan purpose to stimulate its efforts, and no cohesion of sec tional passion or selfish aims to bind it together. "While elimina ting from its life all narrow prej udices that tend to dwarf its man hood, and while inspired by a sen timent most helpful to the . har mony, of the sections and the well being of the republic, this repre sentative body of ex-Confederate soldiers it is resolved to guard through the potent agency of im partial history, the self-respect of our people and to conserve to the well being of the republic, thus representing, not the passions, but the halloaed memories of a mnr velously heroic struggle. "Such a success could never have been attained except--by the earnest co-operation of the com manders of departments and di visions, and t heir co-workers in the camps. "But these distinguished officers and the noble men com manded by them will unite with me in according to George Moor man, my chief of staff, the largest share of honor in the achievement of this great result. It, is Vmr. simple justice to the superb staff officer to say that in all these years of upbuilding, of anxiety, and of labor, often amidst difficul ties and discouragements of the gravest character, he has given his time, his thought, his energies and his talents, ungrudgingly and without a dollar of compensation, to the arduous task imposed upon him by the duties of Jiis office, and no amottnt of work for the wel fare of the organization has been too onerous or exacting for him to cheerfully and efficiently per form. "In announcing this gratifying success 1 wish to 'make my most grateful acknowledgements to my comrades of every rank, in every State'. W'hile it has been one of the chief pleasures, as well as highest honors, of my life, to serve in the station to which your par tiality has so repeatedly called me, and while I shall ever cherish n i i -i wie numueriess evidences oi your confidence, yet I must ask you ko prepare for the selection at Nash ville of some one else as your com manuer. You are my witnesses that I have repeatedly in the past sought to (surrender this high and responsible position ; and I have yielded my purpose only to yu earnest solicitations. It must be apparant to you now that whether the exigencies supposed to exist in the past were leal or fancied there certainly no longer exists any sufficient ' reason for asking my continuance in that high of fice. Fortunately for the well be ing of our. association, there is no difficulty in selecting from the many illustrious ex-soldiers of the Southern army a commander whoso ability and devotion wil Country, God LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1897. insure the continued growth and harmony of the United Confeder ate Veterans. -J-' Jonx. B. 'Gordon, Commander-in-Chief United Con federate Veterans. McKinley Shows HU Grit. While returning from the Ten nessee Centennial last week' Presi dent McKinley and party stepped over in Asheville several : hours. The stop brought out a trait in the President that has won him much commendation. The press dispatches tell the story tlm : , ' A sensational incident of Presi dent McKinley's visit developed this afternoon when it became known to newspaper men accom panying the party that jx-i mission to enter Biltmore HeuseGeorge W. Vanderbilt 's splendid mansion j" had been refused to them while extended to other members of the party.but the President adjusted the matter in a prompt and digni fied decision that canonized him as the patron saint of the newspa per profession. Mr. Vanderbilt is abroad, and lis representative, Charles McNa- mee, is with him. In the absence of both, the estate is governed by J. Harding, said to be an Eng ihman by birth. When waited on by the local Committee of Ar rangements, a day or two ago for permission for the President and party to enter Biltmore House he objected strongly to receiving any members of the party other than the President and his Cabinet and the ladies with them. In the course or conversation liad with two members of the committee he aid: "Mr. Vanderbilt spits on newspaper notoriety and so do I." After this there was nothing for the local committee to do but withdraw. So the matter rested until today, when the President arrived, and J. Addison Porter, his secretary, was told of the incident. He must have informed the President, for later Mr. Harding was called up on the telephone by Mr. Porter and asked if it were true that newspa per men would not be admitted to the mansion. Porter was - told that it was, and then he informed Mr. Harding that the President considered the newspaper men his invited guests on the trip, and that they were as much a contin gent of the party as members of the Cabinet. Furthermore, Mr. Porter' noti fied Mr. Harding that the Presi dent had authorized him to say that if the newspaper men were barred from the mansion he would not step his foot inside the es tate. This brought things to a crisis. and Mr. Harding capitulated with the best grace possible, and the newspaper men were admitted to the mansion cn the same footing as the President and his Cabinet. At Biltmore the luxuries of the library were lingered over with especial delight. Mrs. McKinley was given a handsome - bouauet from Mr. Vanderbilt's conserva tories as she left the chateau. The drive continued over the French broad boundaries of the estate from the river cottage to the entrance lodge, and the Bilt more incident was closed. The train was taken at Bilt more Station and the journey to Washington resumed at about. 6 o'clock.

Prey, Baltimore, Md. I V and Truth. arney Burnato Drowns Himself. - A special dispatch from Fun :hal, Island of Maderia, off the west coast of Morocco, says that on the arrival there to-day of the British steamship Scott, which left Table Bay (Cape Town) on June 2 for Southampton it was an nounced that Barney Barnato, the South. African "Diamond King," who v, a-s among the passengers, had committed suicide by leaping over board. .His body was recovered. Barney Barnato was probably the rk '-.est man in the world. He had long been recognized ag the diamond king of South Africa, and 1 ' s Avealth was estimated' "at afettfftSQOiOOOjOOO. As the great. r frtst-i "Kaffirs' ' the name giv en to a confusing multiplicity of South African stocks, he Avas known in all the banking circles of Europe and America. His ca reer has been a marvellous one. Little is known of his earty life but he is beleived to have been a London fakir or street arab, and once a circus performer. Three years ago, penniless and unknown, he appeared in London. Not long after there sprang up among speculators and inves tors great interest in South Afri can mining stocks. Companies were formed to develop these mines and European capitalists, big and little were invited to take stock. It was easy to find money backings for these enterprises,, and Barney Barnato got into the Kaffir swim. He plunged deep. His natural daring and cool affrontery stood him well. He won enormously. Then he branched out indepen dently and drew about him his own following, It was another case of the lucky gambler leading the way for the unlucky. He or ganized companies to float "Kaf firs." There were Barnato "com panies," Barnato "groups," Bar nato "shares," but there were nev er any Barnato losses. He made money even more rapidly than the great bonanza kings of California in the palmiest days of the Argo nauts. Shrewdly he made a conquest or snr-jiitnir v incent, bir H,dgar and Barney became financial bos om friends. Sir Edgar gave the plunger position which he never liad, in spite of his fortune. Bar- ato had been blackballed at the London elnbs. Ti-.r vnh tnrf ccit :ut him, in spile of his heavy siTr-1 )ort of races and his fine string of lorses. Sir Edgar first of. .all made sure Barnato and his South African enterprises were safe. He went out to South Africa with Barney as Barney's guest, and was accompanied by his -wife, the beautiful Lady Helen Dunscombe, sister of the Duchess of Leinster. What Sir Edgar saw in Africa con- inced him. He took up Barnato gave him financial and social pres tige, npt in London, but in Paris and by cleuer maneuvering secured for him the ear of . the great Pa- isian finaneera and boosted him forward in Parisian soeiety. Sir Edgar now shares with him the title of the "King of the Kaf firs." Barnato's latest coup was the creation of the "Barnato Bank. 7 Mining, and Estate Corporation, Limited." It needed no prospec tus ; the mob were only too eager to tumble over each other getting on the inside." By the mere stroke of a pen Barnato created an enormous capital out of noth ing. The trading in the shares of the the corporation developed one of most exciting scenes ever witness ed on the London market. For a time there was an almost inde scribable frenzy, and the shares' were bid more than four times their face value. They ' "subsided later, but the confidence of the public is well attested by the fact that they are still quoted at over three times their face value. The nominal capital of this bank was $12,500,000. The shares were $5. dollars each, and on the morning of their issue there were 1500 brokers, with orders to buv hundreds and in some cases thou sands, of shares at the market, The capital of the bank is now val ued at nearly 9 4o,000,000. At the last settlement, when there- wa talk about difficulty -of carrTin over stocks, Barnato announced that he would $50;000,000 on the stocks of companies in which he was interested. For the past two years Barnato had an army of ''workmen em ployed building a million dollar palace in I iccadilly, which he in tended to occupy when finished Meanwhile, he occupied Earl Spen SINGLE COPIES 5 CENTS: Jer's house. His name was men tioned as a possible challenger foi the America's cup. He was a lav ish spender, and among his luxu ries, so it is reported, was a bath of champagne. Alfred H. De Montgomery, a mining engineer of New York, who was in Kimberiy ten years ago, said he saw Barnato at' that time walking the streets peddling watches, matches and all sorts. "His fortune was made by an ac cident which nobody had fore seen. Shortly after the mines of Kimberiy were discovered there were about 20,000 diggers working the surface of the mine. About : one. hundred feet down the ground suddenly changed from yellow sand to solid blue ground, hard as gran ite All the miners gave up their claims, thinking the mine worked out. Only one digger went down about 200 feet, but he was stopped by the rainy season which set in. He left about 200 tons of solid blue earth lying on the floor and left the country. " ' 'After four - months 'Barney' walked over the mine and found a thirty-carat blue-white diamond lying right on top of the soil which came out of the 200-foot shaft. With the action of water and air the ground got pulverized and a small fortune was looking nn . 0 Barney. He sold the stone and pegged all the mine out in his name ; there, were several thou sand claims, worth at least $5,000,- 000 at that time. Lot after lot he sold out to different companies for cash and interest, and through this streak of luck he was possessor of about $10,000,000. The great diamond king was about 45 years old. He was of medium height, easy manners, in which appears no trace of preten sion, and a face whose expression, was always cheerful and appar antly irank. He married while in Africa and had three children, two sons and a daughter. Most of his time in ' recent years was spent' in London. Democrats and the Tariff. "Abundant evidence has been produced this week of the disinte gration of the Democratic party on the tariff question. There is nothing about it so very surpris ing to those who have been in with the current- private talk among evs. - iiers 13 really more diiTerence ''toward the tariff pre- tensions of their party in the past among Democrats than the vote on cotton, or any:.vote tuat has been taken clearlv indip.n.ips." been taken clearlv indicates. says the Washington Star. "As far as its signifianc.e to the Democratic party is concerned, taxed cotton has a great deal to do with free silver. With the doctrine that high or low tariff has little to do with the condition of the country, which has been preached by the silver people since the Chicago convention, there has developed among the Democrats a greater or less indifference toward the contentions on the tariff be tween the two great parties dur ing the past several years. The determined purpose to obliterate the tariff as an issue furnishes an excuse to every Democrat to be as much of a protectionist as regards his local interests as he wants to." The leading . Democratic news papers do not hold the same opin ion as" the1 'Star.' They say that tariff i'fefdrm is' as much a princi ple of the Democratic party as' it ever was, but that' the financial question ' now exceeds it in impor tance and timeliness. Mailed After Thlrty-Two Years. A few days ago. John'Hughes, of Cedar " Grow, . Orange - county. mailed a" letter which, he. had, had thirty-two years. It was given him 111 1865 to mail. . He was then. prisoner. at Point Lookout. .In looking over some of his :papers the other day, he found the -letter and wrote to the sheriff of .Anson to know if- the man to whom it was addressed were alive." - The sheriff replied ye3 and that strange to relate, he was in" his office when the letter of inquiry came.

Baltimore San. Efforts have been made to. di vide humanity into classes and to set apart criminals in a class by themselves. This is well enough for some purposes of study and corrective treatment, but conven ience of classification should not mislead any one into the idea that the criminal is necessarily a crim inal by .his physical, mental cr moral constitution or that those who do. not naturally belong to the so-called criminal class may drift into it. Heredity doubtless pa's its part in inclining men to vfce as well as to virtue, but asso ciation with criminals is a greater C A. -I. -. succor in ueter mining the career of a young man. Proofs of rh 9trng effects of criminal heredity mm erixninai assoomtmno are abundant, for there are families of criminals, just as there are fam ilies whose members are devoted to certain learned . j -- -"v.jiviig. But there are also abundant proofs that criminal heredity is a small factor when not combined with criminal associations. A contrary impression, where it exists, can generally be traced to the influ ence of novelists, who, with a p etic fancy common to all ages of men, represent that 'the influence of birth jor parentage overcomes all teachings and associations, so that the born nobleman remains noble though brought up in squalor and ignorance, and the pauper changeling reveals his low origin though clothed in purple. Novel ists are not scientists, but poets, and their' representations of the influence of heredity should not be accepted as true without sustain ing proof afforded by real charac ters instead of the creatures of their imagination. As a matter of fact, it is so difficult to issolate the influences determining char acter that the question as to the influence of heredity alone is still an open one, with the certainty, however, that it is not a controll ing influence. A very large num ber of criminals coming from good parentage drift into crime almost unconsciously through idleness, bad associations, inordinate greed and lack of moral force. Crimi nals themselves may be divided into classes. There are the brutal criminals, whose crimes are di- j rected again?t . the ::.:vt; jnu- IV '111 .lite enough to rob openly, and the con Mence men s,vindl-erg and em bezzlers, who-would not rob at ail except by indirect means. . It n.. , , ,... is the latter class of .criminals thai is recruited from the ranks of die young men -f-c good -parent age. They do not start out with any thought, much less intention, o becoming criminals, but they are led into wrong courses by bad as sociates, or sometimes by their business superiors, and finding themselves involved have not the moral courage to break away from the beginnings of evil. Clerks in banks and similar institutions are sometimes caught in "the toils in this way. Their superior officer directs them to make a false entry which they know to be wrong, and they weakly obey, without, how ever, understanding the full pur pose and meaning of the transac tion. After awhile they find that they have been used as tools to falsify accounts, and, instead of breaking away at once from evil courses, they attempt by other false entries to coyer up the origi nal wrong. When exposure comes, as it must some day, the explana tion they offer is.not sufficient to acquit them, and, with broken rep utations, they drift into the crim inal class. They might and should be objects of pity if the world conld be made to fully un derstand the manner . Tf r their temptation and fall, - but they could not themselves explain it. so insidious is the poison of evil, once admitted to the system. The only safe plan is to resist the be ginnings of evil. If a wrong step has been taken, or one that ap pears to be wrong, it should be re tracted at once, even.xit the ex pense of a humiliating confession.
