The Most
Inspiring Scenes at the Reunion
Ten Thousand Old Warriors
Parade the Streets of Birming
ham.
BirminKham, Ala., Dispatch, 11th.
The parade of the heroes of the
Confederacy this morning was a
fitting climax totwhat is generally
pronounced to be one of the most
successful re-unions of the
United Confederate Veterans.
With sprightly step, measured to
the airs the South loves, the old
wariors, no less than 10,000
strong, traversed the two miles
of parade route between thou
sands of sympathetic and inter
ested spectators and there was
not an accident, no sign of a tot
tering step.
Loving hands served ice water
to the old men as they passed
along the route, fans were dis
tributed and everything possible
was done to relieve the long
tramp of its tedium. That the
heroes were in excellent spirits
was shown by the fact that many
of them sang old camp songs. as
they marched, such as "Butter
milk Cavalry," "Old Time Con
federate," "Bonnie Blue Flag."
They were happy and they left
a trail of tears among the specta
tors, for everyone was touched by
the sentimental appeal made by
the appearance of the old sol
diers. There were many in the pa
rade who had left a leg or per
haps both legs on some bloody
battlefield, but they enjoyed the
occasion as much as the others,
being carried in vehicles. Their
appearance drew forth, if any
thing, greater applause than the
sight of the loot soldiers.
The parade formed shortly at-
jter 11 o'clock and required one
nour anu io minutes to pass a
given point. The route was
from Sixth avenue on Ninteenth
street to First avenue, to Twen
tieth street to First avenue, counter-marching
on Twentieth street
to Capitol Park, where the re
viewing stand was located. In
the vanguard were eight compa
nies of the local National Guard,
including1 one battery of artillery
! and one troop of cavalry. Chat-

State of New York, Assembly
Chamber, Albany, April 30, 1884
Dear Mr. North: I wish to
write vou a few words just to
thank you for your kindness
toward me, and to assure you
that my head will not be turned
by whal I well know was a main
ly accidental success. Althongh
not a very old man, I have yet
lived a great deal in my hie, and
I have known sorrow too bitter
and joy too keen, to allow me to
become either cast down or elat
ed for more than a very brief
period over any success or de
feat.
I have very little expectation
of being able to keep in politics;
my success so far has only been
won by absolute indifference as
to my future career; for I doubt
if any one can realize the bitter
and venomous hatred with
which I am regarded by the very
politicians who, at Utica, sup
ported me, under dictation from
masters who were influenced by
political considerations that were
national and not local in their
scope.
I realize very thoroughly the
absolutely ephemeral nature of
the hold I have upon the people,
and the very real and positive
hostility 1 have excited among1
the politicians. I will not stay
m public hie unless 1 can do so
on my own terms, and my ideal,
whether lived up to or not, is
rather a high one.
For very many reasons I will
not mind going back into private
life for a lew years. My work

Gen. Evans Commander of Con- BOTH
federate Veterans Memphis
Next Meeting Place.
The annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans at
Birmingham, Ala., adjourned
Wednesday with the selection oj
Memphis, Tenn., as the place
for the next re-union and the
election of General Clement A.
Evans, of Georgia, as command
er m chief to succeed the late
General Stephen D. Lee. The
following sketch of Gen. Evans
is taken from a Birmingham dis
patch of the 10th :
General Clement A. Evans,
the new commander-in-chief, is
one of the most loved men in the
army. He is a native of Georgia,
and born of North Carolina and
Virginia revolutionary parentage.
He was a graduate of the Geor
gia Law School and began the
practice of law at 19 years of
age. He was elected judge of
the county court at 22 and State
Senator at 25.
The civil war " commenced
while he was Senator and al
though he was exempt from
military service he joined a com
pany in his county in January,
1861, and began his military
career. He was first elected ma
jor of the Thirty-first Georgia
Regiment and then promoted
colonel. General Evans succeed
ed Gordon when he was promot
ed major-general and again sue
ceeded Gordon in command of
the division. His service was in
the army of Northern Virginia,
he participated in all the battles
fought on the soil of Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania.
In command of his division at
Appomattox he made the last
fight of the war, after the sur
render, because he had not re
e nved notice of the truce.
He has been active in the
United Confederate Veterans,
having attended all reunions ex
cept one. He was commander
of the Georgia division 12 years
with rank of major-general, suc
ceeding Lieutenant-General Gor

Men Suggested for General Assembly-
Commissioners Should
be Re-elected.
To the Editor of The Rohesonian.
Dear Sir, The time is draw
ing near when the people of the
county will again have to say
whom they wan tto serve them for
two more years, and as a citizen
of the county I have been watch
ing the political movement and
after having telt the puise ot a
large number of the citizenship
as to their preference for the leg
islature and county officers, I
wish to present the names of the
following men, whom we con
sider well and fully qualified to
discharge the duties belonging
to the respective positions. I
wish to suggest the names of
curtain ones for the Senate and
House. I think we should send
representative men to the cap
ital city to look after the intersts
of our county. These men should
have a wide acquaintance over
the State and should be well in
formed about all public matters.
I cannot think of any more suit
able man for the Senate from
this county than ex-Sheriff
George B. McLeod. The sheriff
has been long in public life and
knows all the public men of our
State, and would represent the
county to advantage. The
same reasons apply to M. L.
Marley and Prof. M. Shepherd
for the House. This would give
representation to both sections of
the county and they are both
good men.
So far as the commissioners
are concerned, I think we should
by all means retain the same
board. I have always heard it
said that "it is dangerous to
swap norses wnne crossing a
stream." The court house is
now under way and these gen
tlemen have other work which is
unfinished to perform. No bet
ter men can be found than J. W.
Carter, A. R. ' cEachern, L. A.
Oliver, A. L. Bullock and D. b.
Alderman. These men are so
scattered over the county that
every section would be repre
sented. They are all among our
foremost business men and have
made a success in their own af
fairs. They are the kind of men
to manage the affairs of the
county.

Hands Out Some Plain Politi

New York Dispatch, 11th.
David B. Hill, former United
States Senator and for a long
time leader of the Democratic
party in this State, sailed for

ment from active politics. Mr.
Hill said:
There is no Democratic nartv.
When I met the late Governor
Altgeld in a little room up a
back stairs in a Chicago hotel
shortly before the first so-called
Bryan convention, I told him
that the policies which he repre
sented would drive the Demo
cratic party to hell. Then when he
begged for another try four years
later, 1 said: You are most
there; stop before you have ab
solutely ruined the party.' But
Bryan was nominated, as I saw
the futility of a minority report
with only ten votes to back me.
"I admit that the Republican
party is badly disorganized at
the present time. Both parties
are disorganized. There was an
opportunity, but I fear that it
has been overlooked.
"The key of this political cam
paign should be 'Taft, the can
didate of political patronage.'
What else is he? He is put be
fore the people as a candidate by
the 'power of political patronage. '
"Now both sides in the com
ing political struggle will have to
go to the masses for their votes.
iney must draw irom tne mass

stand against the candidate rep
resenting the power of patron
age, than John Johnson, who
spent his boyhood days in a coun
ty poor house; lhink ot it!

Poor-House Candidate.' And
from what I have been able to
learn, Mr. Johnson is more than
a mere near-to-the-people candi
date; ne is a weii-baianceu man
and an able man.
"Every time Bryan says T
keep the faith,' it makes me
smile. He has kept the faith,
indeed! He kept it out in Ne
braska, his own btate, which is
now Republican to its political
core.
Ihe Democratic party never
wanted Mr. Bryan; Mr. Bryan
wanted the Democratic party
He forced himself on the party
in leDb and again on what was
left of the party in 1900 and now
in 1908 he calls himself the Dem
ocratic party and says T have
kept the faith.' "
PROFESSIONAL CARDS
Mail Pouch Disap
Registered
pears.
Los Angeles, Cal., Dispatch, 10th.
Reluctant admissions made by
postal officers of three cities to
day confirm to some extent the
belief that the disappearance of
a registered mail pouch some
where within the jurisdiction of
the Kansas City postoffice last
Saturday night will prove to be
one of the largest losses in the
history of the Postoffice Depart
ment. From private sources it
was learned to- day that a pack
age of at least $50,000 in curren
cy was among the contents of
the pouch which carried, in addi
tion, an unusually large number
of letters and packages contain
ing money and other valuables.
The amount may reach a to
tal of $100,000.
The pouch was in transit from
Los Angles to New York and the
Dostal insDectors refuse any ex
planation of the manner in
which it became lost. That a
pouch of value has disappeared
was admitted to day by the de
partment at Washington, by
Postmaster M, H. Flint, of Los
Angeles, and bs Inspector W. J.
Vickery, attached to the Kansas
City postoffice.
Its Future Greatness Will De
pend Upon the Development
of Its Manufacturing and Ag
ricultural interests.
Oreeesboro Industrial News.
In that gigantic struggle for
commercial supremacy which is
now going on among the nations
of the earth, and to bring it
nearer home, among States of the
Union, it is interesting to conjec
ture what part North Carolina
will take in the next quarter, or
one might say, in the next half
a century. Putting a time limit
on one's speculations for the fu
ture may be selfish, but is nev
ertheless human. Not many men
are altruistic enough to care
deeply for conditions that may
exist after they are gone. So
when we "dip into the future as
lar as human eyes can see, and
see a vision of the world and the
wonders that will be," we will
not go beyond a period which
some now living may reasonably
expect to attain.
Of the varied forms of activity
in which the genius and energy
of men direct themselves there
are in our opinion two in which
the Old North State may equal
any ot her sisters, and excel
many of them. We reier to ag
riculture, the mother of all indus
tries and to her eldest child
manufacturing. Of course there
will be in the future as there are
now, many other lines of indus
trialism which can be sucessfully
pursued, but the two named will
always be the leading ones. The
chief industry of West Virginia
is mining, but is not likely to
ever be of the first importance
in North Carolina, because the
minerals are not here. The lum
ber industry in the State has
been a great one, and is today,
but if the inroads which have
been made on our forests in the
past twenty years continue a
like period there .will be '"ttleof
the raw material left. Fifty
years ago North Carolina was
almost purely an agricultural
StaLe; to-day its agricultural prod
ucts are greater than they were
then, and in addition its manu
facturing establishments turn
out millions of dollars worth of
products which are sold not only
all over the Union but in many
foreign lands.
Acting then, on the principle
that commerce, and that means
every kind of productive activi
ity, follows the lines of least re
sistance it is apparent that the
future greatness of our State will
in the main depend upon the
amount of zeal and intelligence
which our people display in the
development of its manufactur
ing and its agricultural interests.
We believe that what has been
done in the past in these two
particular branches of endeavor,
while great, will appear small
when compared with what shall
have been accomplished within
the next half century. Think
not, though, that these things
will como to pass of themselves.
It will requre the best thought
and effortof determined and pro
gressive people to bring them
into being. But there exists no
reason for failure. We have the
favorable natural conditions, we
have a population, untrained
largely though it may be, that
is capable ofaccomplishing what
ever it may earnestly undertake.
Nothing is lacking, therefore,
but an awakening of interest and
an intelligent and united effort
on the part of our people.
