C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1893. For the Sake of "Auld, Lang Syne." In behalf of the monument to the pri vate soldier and sailor of the Confeder ate States, whose valor ; and devotion have won alike the undying gratitude of our 'people and the admiration of the world; and in behalf of the Memorial Museum to .be established in the man sion occupied by f resident Uavis as long as the Confederacy lasted, this ap peal is made, to which every citizen of the Southern States is earnestly asked to give sympathy and support. j . ! It is designed that the monument shall speak for each State of the Con federacy, of its sacred love ! and rever ence lor tbe dead, tne name ol each State graven on the stones forming the magestic column upon which will stand tbe stalwart figure of the Confederate private; and in tbe museum, where one may learn the true story of that dire struggle, and imbibe-:' tbe spirit ol that self-sacrifice which gladly gave its all at the call of duty, it is intended to assign a room to each State (nearing itsjxame). in which shall be placed the sacred relics of tbe glorious past; and that it shall also be represented on the Board of anagers by a lady regent from that ate.' Tbroughoutthe South there are many patriotic monuments erected to tbe memory of tbe gallant leaders ol the Confederacy, but none to tbe heroic private, who won its glorious victories and bore the severest hardships. These memorials are to commemorate the vir tues of all the heroes from all the South ern States. , i ; ; i Perhaps no one spot so speaks of tbe people of tbe Confederacy, or is more associated with their unparalleled, hero ism, than Richmond, the Capital, on whose most lotty hill, overlooking those fields once drenched with the blood of the s ildier from every State, and that on-sweeping river so gallantly defended oy the intrepid sailor, it should be our pride, and glory to rear this , unique monument the combined offering of love and gratitude from the 'entire Southern people. , And surely within the walls where so often gathered the' valiant men and true, these lasting me morials ot tbe noble sons and daughters of all tbe South should ,be sacredly guarded, that tbe past may be ever held in honored remembrance, and our chil dren's children may learn j "How sublime a thing it is j To suffer and be strong." ; To this end, there will shortly be held in this city a Memorial Bazaar. In it therqruwill be a table, or. tent, for each State, bearing its name, shield, colors and motto; and it is earnestly desired that each State shall assist its own table with contributions of all kinds. This baziar wilt be under the auspices ot the Memorial Associations and Confederate Camps, and direct appeals will soon be sent out by them to enlist the active co operation of those who never failed to houor what now is only a memory dear to every heart the cause they believed to be ri(ht.

The January term of. the Superior Court for New Hanover county will convene in this city next Monday, judge Connor will preside. One of the most interesting cases on the calendar is the suit for damages in a large amount Drought by. Mr. C. P. Lockey against Judge Daniel L. Russell for lioel. Lockey and Russell are leaders or representa tives of warring Republican tactions. and the suit is the outgrowth of the bit ter hostility that has existed for some time between the - two. The counsel named in the case are--for the plaintiff. Col. A. M. Waddell. Mr.1 Iredell Meares and Mr. Jno. D. Bellamy. Jr.'; for the de fendant, Messrs. Ricaud & Weill, Bryan, Robinson, Rountree and McClammy The case is set for triaf on Tuesday, January 24th. i Generous Merchant of Bladenboro. j Messrs. R. L. Bridgers & Bros, and Mr. S. L. Furgeson, two prominent mer chantile firms of Bladenboro, N; C, made a proposition to Conductor Bow- den, of the Carolina Central railroad, that they would each give a car-load of wood to suffering poor of Wilmington it the railroad officials would have it haul ed here free. Captf- Bo wden reported the matter to officials of the road here, who agreed to do it, and the wood will be turned over to the Chief of Police, or some charitable organization, who will distribute it to the ones who most need it. These gentlemen deserve the thanks 1 of the community for their generosity. j BRANCHINGS OUT. : The Coast Line to Build a New Extension into the Tadkln Valley Charleston News and Courier: . It is stated upon good authority that . the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad has com pleted a preliminary survey for a new railroad from Wadesboro, on its Cberaw and "Salisbury branch, to Winston, North Carolina. The road will be ninety miles long, and will penetrate .the Yadkin' Valley, which has one of the post re markable water powers in the country, the fall being about 200 feet in the mile. At Winston the road will connect with the Roanoke and Southern, a branch of the Norfolk and Winston, which has its terminus at that place. The building of this connecting line will give the Norfolk and Western a Southern outlet for the products of the Pocahontas coal fields, and the Norfolk and Western is. therefore, thought to be in close sympathy with the enterprise. and it is considered probable that it will facilitate us construction. In fact it is reported that the Norfolk and Western, as well as the Coast Line, is an endorser upon the bonds for constructing tbe line. When opened, however, tbn road will be operated bv tbe Atlantic Uoast . Lane. It is farther stated upon tbe same au thority that the work of ; construc tion will be commenced just as soon as the locating surveys have been com pleted, and that it will be pushed to completion with all possible rapidity. YESTERDAY'S FIRES. Three Small Houses Burned Mr. Geo. I Morton's Residence Damaged.

WHOLE NO. 8.043 BELIEF FOR THE POOR. - . . . t Suggestions by Citizens Concerning Fuel ' and( Provisions. Editor Star:--! see that citizens are i contributing very "liberally to help the worthy poor, but it is the opinion of one who sees a great deal of this suffering, that if this money is now placed in the hands of Mrs. Roger Moore, Mrs. Dan iel or Mrs. Em pie, a great deal more good could be ) accomplished, as these ladies are seeking out all worthv cases and assisting them, while sometimes it happens that two or three parties assist the same family and other needy ones have to do .without. A concentration will cause all to be assisted. - - One Who Knows. Editor Star." -There has been already a good deal of suffering in our city, and it tbe weather of tbe past three weeks continues there must necessarily be much more suffering in our midst, not only for food, but also fuel, as many have been thrown out of employments and a good deal of outdoor work stop ped. In the emergency of the case would it not be wisdom for the railroad authorities to encourage bv reasonable rates of freight and prompt transporta tion the bringing of wood to the city. tor snould tbe supply ot fuel be exhaust ed our people would be in an awful situation. .
