"The air of Dixie, ' is the only
asset of the late Confederacy that
remains to the Southern States,"
said GeaeralJulian S. Carr, com
mander of the Confederate Vet-
eran.Si Association or iNortn Car
olina at the Raleigh yesterday
General Carr is a resident of
Durham, N. C-, and for twenty
five years was president of one
the largest tabacco manufacur
ing companies in the South-' He
was a private in the late war and
surrendered with Lee at Appo
mattox.
"It is not because of any bitter
ness the Southern people feel
that they applaud the tune of
"Dixie,' " added General Carr.
"It is because it recalls memories
of that valiant body of soldiers
who fought against the North
in a struggle which they believed
at the time was right- It is the
only Confederate air that lives
fresh in the memory- 'The Star
Spangled Banner' receives as
much homage in the South, I dare
say, as it does in the North. ,1
have been in various places in the
North, and I have heard 'Dixie'
encored as enthusiastically as I
ever heard it in the South.
"I do not believe there is any :
State in the South where the
people refuse to rise when The
Star Spangled Banner' is played.
In my State of North Carolina I
I have had the opportunity of
leanring the feeling that exists
regarding the late struggle, and I
must say there are very few per
sons who retain any bitter feel
ing against the North. It would
be a misstatement to say there
were none- A few old soldiers
of the Confederacy remain who
will carry their bitterness to the
grave, but they make up a very
small proportion of the whole.
"It is worthy ot note that
North Carolina lost more men in
the civil war than any State in
the South. The number of killed
and who died was 40,275 and the
next largest number was in
South Carolina, which lost about

Sheriff Buford came to Asheville
several days ago and located
Mnttie- He immediately took
her into custody. At the time
the woman was employed as
cook by Mr. W.,E. Shu ford
Mattie is a good cook and Mr.
Shuford didn't relish the idea o:
losing his valuable servant. Any
way, thi woman denied the
cnarges. sue refused to go
without requisition papers, and
forthwith the sheriff from South
Carolina made request that his
Governor secure from the Gover-lk
nor of North Carolina requisition
papers. In the meantime, Mr
Shuford's desire to retain his
cook increased and counsel was'
employed. In fact, counsel, and
able counsel, has been employed
on both sides.
Saturday afternoon Mr. Prank
Carter, of counsel for the woman
appeared before Judge Pritchard
in United States Circuit Court
and secured a writ of habeas
corpus to prevent Sheriff Buford
from taking the woman. In ap
plying for the writ Mr. Carter
alleged that the ojaarge that the
woman had-embezzled funds was
a fraud on justice and untrue.
He alleged that the real motive in
taking her to South Carolina was
to return her to peonage and re
quire her to do involuntary ser
vice for one A. C. Workman, a
Farmer of Laurens county.
The charge of peonage gave an
interesting turn to the c'ase.
Judge Pritchard issued the writ
and had the woman brought be
fore him- Sheriff Buford was
represented at the hearing by
Judge James H. Merrimon, of
Asheville, who presented the re
gular requisition papers issued
by Governor Glenn, of North
Carolina, at the request of Gov
ernor Ansel, of South Carolina,
and moved that the writ be dis
missed. The case will be heard
by Judge Pritchard Saturday.

"North Crrolifia, by the way,
offered a larger quoto of soldiers
in the Spanish war than in any
other Soethern State. The num
ber of volunteers exceeded by
several hundred the call made
upon the State."
When the war closed General
Carr had not a penny, but he
made a fortune in the to
bacco business, and a few years
ago retired. He is known as one
of the most charitable men in the
South, and has given away more
than he is now worth. At the
last encampment of the Confed

made an 'address which so im

General Carr promise that he
