The people of Raleigh heard with peculiar pleasure today Colonel Rob ert B. Lee, of Virginia, grandson, of the great Confederate chieftain, deliv er the address for the Memorial Da exercises.

Colonel Lee's subject was "The Confederate Soldier." He paid high tribute to the personnel of the Confederate forces; their bravery and high moral standards. He dwelt on the the justice of the cause that the Conf ederate soldier represented and, in conclusion, paid tribute to the phenomenal prosperity of the , South, a resultcompelled by the same per sistent well directed effort of the rem nant of the Confederate army and their sons, that presented tQ the world the spectacle of the fiercest and most effective fight against heaviest odds in the annals of warfare. Other features of Memorial Day ob-" servance were a luncheon to the old soldiers and the decoration of the graves of the Confederate dead, here. The seventy-odd old soldiers in ths Soldiers Home appeared for the first time in their Confederate grey uni forms furnished to them now under act of the Legislature. 1 The uniforms arrived only this morning by express, just in time to be worn first for the memorial exercises. .

Frank H. Wright, the Indian, evangelist of Dallas, Texas, who will continue his meeting through the coming week at St. Andrew's Presbyterian , Church, is not only one of the most earnest and eloquent preachers heard in Wilmington, "but is a most interesting man in many respects. His father was Rev. Allen Wright, chief of the Choctaw tribe and a minister of .the Southern Presbyterian Church who who lived among his people in the terri tory and was their missionary for many years. The older Mr. Wright mar ried Miss Hariet Newell Mitchell, of Dayton, Ohio, missionary of the A. B. C. F. M.," and ten children were born to the union, one of which is Rev. Frank Wright. He was educated Union College, Schenectady, N. Y... and at Union Theologicaa Seminary, New York City. His? health being poor he was elected a missionary of the Dutch Reformed Chjarch and returned to his people, marrying Miss Addie 'Ldl-ianthe, a beautiful and accomplished yonng woman of Saratoga Springs, N. Y who joiheld3rhtm "In taking charge of his father's church in the territory. Rev.

It is proposed to make the meeting tonight one of the most enthusiastic and, most largely attended yet held in this interest and to that end, the com mittee has arranged for a number of prominent local speakers who will be heard with interest. The people from every part of the city, both ladies and gentlemen and school children, if they desire to come,' will -be heartily wel comed. - The school is located right on the car line and people from any part of the city will find it convenient to attend. The meeting yesterday was in con nection with the regular monthly meet ing of the Board, of Education at which only routine business was transacted in connection with the closing of the scholastic year. The matter of su preme importance, however, was in contemplating the situation at the be ginning of the new scholastic year in the event the pending election is not carried. There will be not sufficient revenue to continue the schools for. more'than four or , five months at most and this means that the teachblg force will be entirely disorganized, andthat the system of graded schools built up during the past - thirty years will b practically destroyed if-ithe .election is V not carried. .

For the purpose of organizing an ac tive, aggressive effort for a greater port and a greater city for Wilming ton, a number of the younger leading professional and business men are forming a. 'club, which will be charter ed by the Secretary of State within a week or ten days. , The idea originated with Woodus Kellum, Esq., of the local bar, who formulated an agreement for the for mation of such an .organization and the paper has been liberally signed by a number of, leading Wilmington citi zens though I it is expected to interest several hundred more before the char ter is applied for. It is the purpose of the promoters of the Club to open headquarters at some centra point Sn the city and from this to direct ja gen eral campaign fortheV?betterment of Wilmington commercially and finan cially. The possibilities of such a club, are large and have been used wlth mttfeh success in other cities, no tably in Charlotte. No name has as yet been given to the Club, but the title will be one to inspire enthusiasm and effort upon the part of every mem ber. The city will be widely advertis ed through the Club and one of its principal features will be the attrac tion of capital and industries ' to the city. It is to be hoped that the em bryo organization wiir continue to succeed and that ere long it will be a Certainty. All who desire, to connect themselves with such a club may noti fy.

The Presi dent today nominated as TJnit-ed States District Judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Henry Groves Con nor, of North Carolina, -The appoint ment was fmade after an interview this morning with Senators Simmons and Overman, both of whom called at tfrd request of the President. The vacancy of the North Carolina bench caused by the death of Judge Thomas R. Purnell has existed for some months and has been a source of much concern to President Taft. The contest for the place has been a bitter one and the Republicans of the Eastern District of North Carolina re cently urged the President not to ap point a Democrat even if he had to go out- of the district to find a suita ble Republican for the place.- The President has given more considera tion to this North Carolina judgeship than to all of the other vacancies on the Federal bench with which he has had to deal since his inauguration. He has been in constant consultation with, the North Carolina Senators and Rep-1 resentatives and has had placed before him the names of at least a dozen candidates. - Judge Connor, a Democrat, was for about ten years on the bench of the Supreme Court of North Carolina and for a number of years before that was a judge of the Superior Courts. President Taft continues to follow his avowed policy of selecting those h3 considers to be the best men to fill important Federal offices, irrespec tive of h?br present faith, in sending to the Seriate, the nomination of "Judge Conno?.

ROBERTSON General Observance by Daughters of Confederacy, Veterans, Military and Allied Organizations of Wilmington Graves. Confederate Memorial Day was most reverently and appropriately ob served in Wilmington yesterday under the auspices of Cape Fear Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, the exercises having taken pla-ce in the afternoon within the enclosure of the handsome Confederate monument in Oakdale cemetery where a large number of people assembled and par ticipated in the ceremonies of the day. Lowering clouds during the early afternoon threatened to -seriously In terfere with the exercises but toward the hour appointed for the procession f to form at the lodge and move to the Confederate monument, the skies brightened and the ODservance was carried out most auspiciously as had oeen arranged. The procession form ed promptly at 4:30 o'clock under the direction of Capt. John H. Hauby, chief marshal, and his aides. Com- rades L.'Leon, W. M. Dixon, Benj. Far row; andrD. L. Gore, the Wilmington Light Infantry, in command of Capt. T. J. Gause; the Wilmington Division, North Carolina Naval Reserves, under Lieut. Cuthbert Martin commanding, and the First Battalion, Boys' Brigade 6f America, in command of Capt. Wil bur Dosher, heading the column. These were followed by the orator of the day, Col. Wrn F. Robertson, and the chaplain, Rev. A. D. McClure, D. D., pastor of Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church ; President Wm. H. Chadbourn . and Superintendent T. Donlan, of Oak dale Cemetery, in carriages, these be- ing followed in turn by the allied Con federate organizations of the city.. Cape Waa-Camp No-254, United Con- federate Veterans, in command of Gen. James I. Metts; George Davis Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, in command of Col. Walker Taylor; Cape Fear Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and George Davis Chapter, Children of the Confederacy. The procession moved in the most perfect order to the entrance to the enclosure, the Daughters, Veterans aid military passing in and occupying seats around the enclosure. The mon ument had been most appropriately draped with native mosses and bedeck ed with flowers and wreaths, Confede rate flags being used most appropri ately and effectively about the monu ment and on an improvised stand from which the exercises took place. Capt. John H. Hanby, chief marshal, acted as master of ceremonies, per forming the duties with ease and dig nity, the exercises opening with a very fervent prayer by the chaplain, Dr. McClure. The orator, Col. Robertson, was presented by Capt. Hanby in mbst complimentary terms, and he respond ed in .one of the neatest and most elo quent tributes paid the Confederate soldier and the Old South upon a simi lar occasion in many years. .Col. Rob ertson spoke not more than fifteen minutes but his speech was elegant and most fitting ah occasion of the kind. He said: Mr. Chairman, Daughters of the Con- -federacy, Veterans, Ladies and Gen tlemen: Near this beautiful monument erect ed to the memory of the Confederate dead, on many a Memorial Day, the historian has told over the thrilllnsr conflict story, its opening" chapter at Sumter, its closing1 page at Appomat tox. Often here have veterans wbo bore part in that most remarkable struggle, in the presence of these brav survivors, in memory followed Lee and Jackson on a long march back through, the years to crimson dyed battlefields, picturing again One clash of arms, the grim difficulties stubbornly opposed for four bloodstained years, the deyo- tion of women left at home to care for children, and to wait and to pray for the absent one who had willingly plac ed the Right and Southland abov home and Ufa It is unnecessary and superfluous for one of the generation following, bora after the verdict of war was render ed, to invade the domain of the his torian in the presence of these veter ans whose sacrifice and valor made that matchless history. The deep con viction of the necessity that directed them to take up arms in a warfare- un paralleled in the history of time; the courage, devotion, and fortitude un ceasingly evinced throughout that fier cest of conflicts, are .known to the world, and the, time is past. If it ever existed, ; when defense need be set forth for the part played by the South in that or any other part of the Na tion's history. Let us of today then be ever mind ful of the rich heritage bequeathed this younger generation, the South of our fathers passed largely into our keeping,; and the fealty It is our duty ' to pays In tbe coin of healthy citizen- ship and 'high ideals towards its hon-. . orable and useful upbuilding, if we b ' worthy sons of sires who loved the sec tion of Washington, Lee, Vance and Hamilton, with a devotion - sacrificed and unwavering. , , We may place garlands - upon the graves of .these Immortal warriors, we f. may fervently eulogize the splendor' of their sacrifice, but such will be only as mocking shadows If what they were and ' what' they did, fail .o arouse In our lives a certain faithful devotionto this land-that they loved so well: if we do not earnestly resolve that in tho future the , great South Shall assume that ; eminence of National ' Influence and patriotic leadership, which found -ed the Nation and largely directed I- (Continued on page three.) , t ' -Vi - . -' i -.1 ' k 'i. ;r ' : .1 -if.
