Unveiling Ceremonies at the Capitol Grounds in the City of Raleigh. PARADE AND PROCESSION.' Military Companies Confederate . Vet eransOration by R. H. Battle. Miss Espy Vance Drew the Cord The Statue. Special Star Telegram. " Raleigh, N. C, August 22 The monument to Zebulon B. Vance was uncovered in the capitol cquare. for the admiration of generations unborn. The procession formed shortly after noon in front of Metropolitan Hall, then marched two squares to the capi tol grounds. Tha'order of march was as follows: Platoon of Raleigh police; L. O'B. Branch Camp Confederate Veterans; Wright's Cornet Band; Raleigh Light Infantry, 42 strong; Wilmington Light Infantry; 34 strong; two companies from Durham, under Capt Woodall, and Capt Christian, 40 strong each; Franklinton company, 40 strong; Granville Grays, of Oxford, 40 strong ; Vance Guards, of Warrenton, 40 strong; Clinton com pany, 24 men; Kinston Naval Reserves, SO men; Newborn Naval Reserves, 30 men. Various camps of Confederate veterans followed. The Webb Camp, of Durham, made a fine appearance, with over one hun dred; Cape Fear Camp, of Wilming ton, attracted much attention, and Mayor Waddell was a most welcome visitor on this occasion. Among other prominent men were General J. S. Carr, Colonel J. S. Cunningham and General B. 8. Royster. The number of visitors to the city. estimated from the arrival of regular trains and five specials, is placed at 5,000 people. Opening Exercises. There were probably 10,000 people on adjoining streets and in the Capitol grounds when the exercises began. The committees and dignitaries occupied seats on the platform. The ceremony was opened by prayer by Dr. Eugene Daniel, of the Presbyterian Church, in an impressive invocation. Col. Thos. S. Kenan, of Raleigh, who was elected chief marshal by the com mittee, introduced Hon. Richard H. Battle, of Raleigh, orator of the day. Mr. Battle spoke clearly and forcibly and his address was a masterful sum mary of Vance's life, as a boy, student, awyer, legislator, Congressman, sol dier, Governor and Senator. He said that North Carolina was not unmind ful of her great men and that by com mon consent Vance was fixed upon as the man the people of the State de- ighted to honor. Monnment Unveiled. Upon conclusion of Mr. Battle's oration Miss Espy Vance, grand daughter of the lamented Senator, drew the cord and the statue of the patriot was beheld by the vast crowd. A mighty cheer went up. The statue stands in Capitol square, midway between the east front of that building and the boundary of the square, while the noble memorial erected by the State to its Confederate dead "First at Bethel, last at Appo mattox" stands at the western front The movement to erect a monument to the Senator took shape soon after his death and was begun as a popular one. In this way (2.500 was . raised. The Legislature of 1899 came to the aid of the movement by appropriating $5,000, and with the $7,500 it was decided to secure a statue. There was lively competition by artists last Sum mer, no less than twelye competing, but Henry J. Ellicott, of Washington, was the winner. Mrs. Vance, the widow, admired the model, which was a study from the best photograph, and made frequent visits to Ellicott's studio, where the work was seen and pleased her, as it also did the two commit tees, one appointed by the Legislature the other by the citizens who had made contributions. The Statue Described. The statue is 8 feet in height and stands upon a base of granite from Mount Airy, this State, the base being of equal height It was cast by the Gorham Company, at Providence, R. I. and when two members of the committee went there to inspect it in June, one of them exclaimed as they first viewed it, "There's Vance." When the statue was put in position last month the few who saw it made the same remark. Vance's personality was very striking. The likeness of the face and head is the feature of the work. On the base is the one word "Vance," in bold letters. That one word is enough. In bold relief it stands out, typical of the man, who in war or in peace was always for his beloved North Carolina and North Carolinians. The head is liOn-like, yet kindly in expression. The artist has happily caught the bearing of the man and his true manliness of face, form and pose. Master of Seabritht. Hani John L.

A Movement " Among Business Men and Others to Emphasize Settlement of Negro Question by Voting Re- '' publican National Ticket. - Washington Post, 22nd. The situation in North Carolina, as between Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan, is engaging' some attention among well informed : politicians in these parts. No one is quite ready to say that the Tar Heels will desert the Democratic column, although the story was brought to .this city some days ago that there was an agreement between Republicans and Democrats, made a considerable time ago, that the amendment should be carried in Au gust and North Carolina's electoral vote delivered to McKinley in Novem ber. That story has been told quietly, but with great emphasis, here of late. It has not carried conviction that any such agreement has actually existed, but it has convinced some people that there is a strong tendency among some North Carolina Democrats to fall in line for the Republican ticket. As corroborating such a situation, it is learned from North Carolinians who are in the confidence of political par ties that there is a movement among the Democrats down there to issue a manifesto within-a few days declaring their preference, now that the negro has been removed as an issue from State politics, in favor of Mr. McKin ley. Details of the men and of their influence in various North Carolina communities cannot now be given, but steps have actually been taken to that end, with prospects of-successful culmination. ; The clamor from some parts of the State that further agitation of the negro question by Democratic organs should cease has its origin largely with men who are in sympathy with this Mc Kinley movement and who, realizing some of the benefits that protection has brought to the State, want to see polit ical divisions ion industrial questions and national policies, rather than on race issues. Whatever comes of I the movement, it is regarded as significant of the sentiment in the Old North State. Mr. Bryan's majority there four years ago Was 19,266. While very few people believe there are enough North Carolina Democrats supporting Mc Kinley to insure the eleven electoral votes for him, there are a large num ber who annreciate the great industrial growth of the State, and who, in polit ical sympathies, it is declared, belong or right in the Kepublican party. EX-CONGRESSMAN FOWLER Explains Reason for Trouble Between Himself and Mr. George Peterson, of CIIntonCharges Refuted. . Clinton, N. C, August 21. Editor Star : We notice in your to-day's paper, an account of a little "scrap" here on the 20th inst between Geo. Peterson, of this place, and my self, in which you say that the diffi culty grew out of the fact that I made the charge here on Saturday that Ueo. Peterson had gotten ammunition, etc.. here before the election to intimidate Populist and anti-amendment voters. I made no such charge. I did state here on Saturday at the indignation meeting at Clinton, that J. had been away from home for a few weeks prior to the election, and that on my way home, on Tuesday prior to the election, I was pained to see at Warsaw a num ber ;of red' shirts and Winchester rifles waiting for the train to bring them to Clinton. I also stated that I was informed that they were ordered by a merchant in the town of Clinton. The crowd then requested that I name him and 1 called the name of tteorge Peterson. Tour correspondent who is evi- dentlv Peterson's friend, stated that we quarrelled on the streets. Tnis is. not true. The facts are that I have been an invalid for the past fifteen months. Yesterday morning I -got out of a sick bed and started to the office of my physician for a prescrip- . . ? t - a a j, : uon ana just as- i Biarteu up buutb, Peterson, who will weigh 190 pounds, without any warning whatever, ap proached and before l couia even turn to him, hit me in the face. There were no words exchanged between us. I never even suspected that he was mad till he hit me and I was totally unpre pared. These are the facts. As to which one of us got the best of it I don't sup pose the -public is concerned. Respectfully, Jno. E. Fowler. Excursion Arrivals.

At Prosecutor's Cost. , J. E. Tyner was arraigned before Mayor pro tem. Springer yesterday morning on a charge of disorderly conduct preferred by Hiram Moore.

The testimony, however, did j not substantiate the charge and Moore was taxed with the costs, amounting to $3.15. Do you want 2,000 or 3,000 old nAwsn&nem at vour own trice?
