NORTH STATE HEROES. guvpiiic nrscitHTioN or A lCKVOLUTlOXAKV IJATTLU. MoDiinifnt Greeted Upon the Ciulirord Court Ilouie llattle Field. The prctcnt tnaj be cbaracterized an aa of monamenU, o many art pringiii up upon American toil. We fteem, indeed, but just to have rtalizi d that our country has a past which, while it covert com paratively but a brief era, ttill teetna with eventeventa of a nature to kindle national prtde and inspire national gratitude, and which a duty alike to our ancestor and pittrity demand that we fhould commemorate. Stately col umn, recalling eignal occurences, everywhere uint skyward ; ana re presentations in bronza and marble of the heroic dead who led our armiea in their residence to liritiih opprteion, and liter in un happy civil ttrife, adorn tlie efjuares of both Xorthetn a.ud Southern citis. J The Old North State, however, always mure prompt in the doin of patriotic deed ttian in tho iiti ing of them, had been low to join this movement. In the late war the Southern mnk were swelled with larger delegation from North Carolina thsui from any ot her sis ter State, and yet there are com paratively fevr CnfeJerAto memo nil within her U.rderB.! The h!t)y e a counter a.

I Then one of her son, j I).tvid Schenck, of (reerisloro, prompted Ic by a deire to record the glo rioiH achievements of hi ancetur thtn to rid them of a tout itnput i tion under wlic!i they htd reted for more tlian a century, oncetved the idea of rescuing the historic tu!d from imjenJing oblivion, and eoiigting to it the tuw red doat of it heroes, fcattered here and there in neglected grive. and in review ing hi work, one knows not which iiot to admire the generoa di interested patriotism which prompt ed it, or tne abili'y with which it h.i. Iiccn execute. i Witli t!e aid of Caruthcr map, c fipled with traditional informa tion, he succeeded in locating the p.-itiori ot each atny, and in fol lowing them a.4 they ehitted from int to xjint in the progress of the battle. He did more. With the help of the himo traditional testimony, strengthened by an ex amination of written authorities and the verdict of skilled military men, who vitited the grounds and m.ido a curcful invctigtion f the plan of the engagement, he eta! lidicd the fact th4t the North Carolina volunteers were the !at to retire from the lield. and that her militi.i, who receivci tho t"rt hock of the battle, retreated after tiring a fecund round in obvdience to orders, and not, as has been as serted, under the influence of "cow ardly panic" j That their retreat became a 'dis orderly rout" is not to bo wondered at when we remember that they were without anything resembling military training; but the historian dtould discriminate between a want of discipline and a lack ol Courage. In reviewing that H.riod one can scarcely fail to rceoguize in Gen eral Nathaniel (Jrccne. the com mander of tho AmcicHii forces at the battle of (iuillofd, one of the greatest, military geniu.cs of the Kevolationary w:ar. His operations were a succession of ably planned, successfully executed struggle, tur his nointnal defeats were virtual victories. In the engagement under consideration lor example, although he ht the field, he gained the end for which he ' fought, and Karl Chatham, in commenting upon the event, exclaimed : "One more such victory will run the Ilrttt-h army' ! " Cornwalli ht one third of his men in killed and wounded, and. unable to purue hi die-istrous t-on-pjcst, he hastily buried hw dead, leaving the wounded to the mercy of hi enemies, and sought tle pro tevtion ot his ships at Wilmington. The Southern army,' when (treeue auccevded (Jates in the command in IT"', was a mere skel eton, with no artillery, baggage or stores. !

" riting of theircon- dition to General Lafayette, Greene say: Were you to arrive here you would find a few ragged, half starved troops in the wilderness- destitute of everything necessary ior me eoraiort or convenience ot soldiers Before him was a veteran army, skilled in the art of warfare, sup plied with all the munitions which tbc age afforded, and flushed with victory; about him an exhausted country. His sick and wounded were dying for want ot medicine and proper food, and, in order to supply their necessities, and secure hi men ugatnst actual starvation, tho commander was obliged to make himself responsible as an in dorser for the contractor. At the battle of Guilford Court Hotiso, the force under General - Greene amounted to about 1,551 regulars, the rei-tnumljcring ,00 consist ed of North Carolina and Vir ginia militia, and volunteers from the same States, who, without draft of conscription, and with neither piy nor rations, rallied to his stan dard. The position selected by the American commander was a strong one. Ining upon the si leof the hill, at the foot of which ran a rivulet. His army was drawn up in three lines. The first w composed ot the North Carolina militia, n thousand strong, who, armed only with their hunting ntlcs, were sta tioned behind a woim fence, with orders to fire twice and retreat. This they did, loading their clutnty pieces in the very teeth of the en- a m T a .a emy. tins lett tunic wan protected In- the irgmu command under Colonel Campbell, Major Joseph Wineton North Carolina Volun teers and Ia-c's legion. Their right by Kirkwooda Delawares, Lynch Virginia Volunteers and Colonel William WahingtonV cavalry. The second line three hundred yard- behind the find was drawn up in a deep forest, and consisted of the Virginia militia under Lawou and Slevens,and the third-lcur hun- dreI yards further eat was com- om ot the four regiments of rcg ulars. Of these, the Virginia regi ment wa-4 commanded bv (ieneral U tiger, tho First JIaryland by Co lonel (iunbv, the Second Marvland by Colonel Ford, and the Third Maryland by Colonel A illtams. (iunby had fotiglit under Wash 1 a ai ington in Ins -New Jerey cam paigns; and, when transferred to the Southern army, had routed Tarleton at Cowpcu. His was the only veteran regiment in the com mand. The other three were new levies, with only a small sprinkling of ex- pc neneed soldiers among them. 'r-l x ne I?riti.-!i soldiers upward of strong were drawn up in a me, and consisted ol thor oughly equipped, well-disciplined men, experienced in buttle both in America and upon the continent. The engagement took place on the afternoon of March, 15, ITS I, and lasted for two hours. After the retreat of the North Carolina militia tho Virginians, under Sto vens, poured a galling lire upon the advancing troops from their Ki- tion in Uie wiod, but the support ing column of tho enemy coming up they were driven from the field at the point of the bayonet. The British now approached the third line, composed of the four i egiments of regulars. They were received by the First Maryland, under (iunby, with a well-directed fire; and leforc they had recovered from the shock of ft were cbartrtd upon with the bayonet and kille-d in great numbers. Kirkwood's Delaware and Lee's Legion alo fought with distinguish ed gallantry, but the lat to yield to the victorious foe waa the bravo band of North Carolina and Vir ginia volunteer under Winston and Lynch. These men carried tneir ballets in their mouths and fired ukiti the enemy trom tree to tree alter the main body of the Araeri can rm had retired from the field. A their numbers diminished, tw heroic men, u ith the invincibili ty of Spartans, continued tho un rtjual contend. They were Captain Jea'e Franklin, of Winston's com mand, afterward North Carolina's revered Governor, and his brothel - in-law, Uichard Taliaferro, a mem bcr of the distinguished irgini fainilv of that name. Finding that the enemy pressed them upon either side, they en deavored to reach their horse, fas tened to an adjacent trie. In thi Franklin was successful, and, cut ting his bridle reio lowc, he tnoun ed his steed at.d made his escape. Taliaferro, however, attempted to untio his hore, and while thus engiged wa overtaken and kiiled by one of Tarlcton's dragoons. His blood wis the U.-t shed ujHn the fateful field. Ills remains wvre afterwards interred by his compan ions, who returned to the battle ground and secured hi gun at.d ctrtridgc box tor his bercacd fam ily. These relics are still in exist ence. . Another dramatic incident of the day was the hand-to-hand fiirht which occurred during the heat of the engagement between Colonel Stewart, of CornwaUts guards, and MOUJfT AIRY, N. O.. Captain John Smith, of the Mary land line. Doth were distinguish ed for courage and strength, and had rowed, in an encounter upon a former field, that their next meeting- should resalt in blood. They ruthed upou each other, and the quick thrust of Colonel Stewart small sword having been parried by Smith's left hand, the Mary lander cut his antagonist down with his heavv sabre and ended hi life. As he djd so a British bullet brought him to the ground, and at the same moment one of Smith's men, who always remained naarin tho hour of danger, pierced the heart of a Bnton who advanced to defend Colonel Stexart. The condition of tho battle ground when Judgo Schenck undertook it restoration in 163, mteht well have deterred a less ardent, let patriotic spirit than his, and the success of the enterprise is a meet reward for tho labor and difficulty with which it has been attended A charter was obtained from the Legislature of North Carolina and tiio Guilford Battle Ground Com pany formed, with David Schenck as president, Colonel Julius A. Gray as vic-preident, J. W. Scott as treasurer and Thomas B. Keogh as secrctiry. Colonel Gray died in 1 VJI and J. W. Fry was appointed his successor. This is tho only change of offi cer that has occurred. The shares of tho company were $25 each, and until 180, wheu an auuual appro priation of $200 was made by the state, everything was done by vol untary contributions. The battle ground twenty-five acres in extent uow presents the appearance of a beautiful, well- ordered park. The roads winding through it, unused for halt a cen tury, have leen reopened and re paired, and every prominent point uas been marked. A lake has been foimed by damming up the rivulet which crorHS what is known as "Spring Vale,' and generous dona tions from W. I. Clyde, of New 1 ork, and the late Leotudas Springs of Philadelphia, have been applied to the erection of pavilions over two beautiful spriugs upon the ground. In answer to the denund for them buildings have been constructed from time to time, iheso consist of the president's oliice, a keeper's lodge, an observatory from which th whole battle field may bo seen and puinta ot interest located, a pavilion with a seating capacity of 2,JKJU, and a gallery for uiu?ic and a restaurant, where refreshment may Ik; obtained by tho lo,C00 visitor who assemble to witness the Fourth, of July celebrations held annually upon the grounds, lhere is also a museum containing valuable war relics and eeveral handsome oil paintings presented by tho artist, David I Clarke, of High Point, N. C, whos-e skill is attested by tho fact that his representation in oil of Joseph Winston was taken as a model by the designer of tho beau tiful bronze statue of that hero, which is soon to be erected on the battle ground- The first monument erected bear9 an inscription to Captain Arthur l orbis, who died of a wound receiv ed in the battle. It stands on the spot where lie fell and was presented by McCtalliard .v lluske, quarry men ot Kernersville, N. C. The second occupying a position in the centre of the field, and known as Battle Monument," was prepared at the state penitentiary by order o! Governor A. M. Scales, and consists of graduated blocks of granite in a pynmidal form. On October lo, 1J2, tho Maryland monument, presented by tho His torical Society of that State, was unveiled. Upon the sido of tho stone a rough cube of native granite are two bronze plates, designed by Dr. A. J. Volck, of Baltimore. The one contains the Maryland coat-of-arms ani the other the inscription : Maryland's Tribute to Her Heroic Deid? "Erected by Members of the Maryland Historical Society, in Memory of the Soldiers of the Maryland Line.' -17SI 1S92.M 'Nn Ornuis Moriar." In the following year the unveil ing ot the Holt Monument, the munificent gift of Governor Thos. Holt, of North Carolina, occurred. It commemorates the heroism of the North Carolina volunteers, and is erected upon the spot uhere the biave band under Winston made its last stand against the enemy af ter Greene had retired from the field. lpon it is engraved the name.- ot Winston, Franklin and Taliaferro, with the motto, Pal mam qui meruit ferat." A beautiful statue of Winston, also the gift of Governor Holt, is to be placed upon the top of the monument, and tho whole, when completed, will constitute one of the most beautiful works of art in tho South. After diligent effort the remains of Brigadier General Jethro Sum ner, of the Southern army; Captain John Davis of North Carolina, who was attached to his brigade, and Captain James Tate, who was kill ed at New Garden, hare been re moved from neglected graves arid leinlcrred upon the historic field, and stones, with appropriate in scriptions, havo been placed over them. The ahfs of two of the 6tngers ot the Declaration of Independence trom North Carolina William Hooper and John I'enn, have also been recovered and consigned to THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1895. the battle ground. A monument has been erected over them, and it is the I resident s purpose to add to this a statue of Hooper, who is classed by Adams with Patrick- Henry and Richard Henry Lee, and the three characterized as "the lead ing orators ot the convention which met in Philadelphia in 1776." The noted revolutionary soldier, 1 eter i ran Cisco, whoso daring ex ploits form 6uch a thrilling page in American history, who was 60 con spicuous for bravery at the battle ot Guilford, died in Richmond, Va., in 1S3C. He was buried with mili tary honors in the public cemetery of that city, and it is to be hoped that his grave will bo sought out, and that he will bo added to the heroic dead now rallying to tho old battle ground. From that muster-roll, however, oue name tho most illustrious of thein all 'must ever be missing. It is that of General Nathaniel Greene, who died in Georgia, in 1784. A monument was voted by Congres to be placed over his grave, but it was never erected, and all traces of his burial place have been obliterated. Gilberta S. Whittle in Philadelphia Times. A SAD SIGHT. A Young Husband Drunk and his Wile i'leada with Him to go Home. A 6ad sight was witnessed by a reporter on ono of tho principal streets this morning. A " man- a young husband was staggering along the street under the influence ot the dpmon of drink and by his 6ide was a beautiful young wife who was pleading with him,to go home. It was a 6i"ght to make angels weep and cause every drop of blood in a man's veins to boil with indignation. Ho finally left her and 6taggered towards a saloon, his companion 6till pleading with him until he was out of hearing ; then she dropped her head and brushed away the tears that were swelling to her eyes, and went on to tho place ho had promised to mako home to her, but what, in reality, had been a dismal failure in tho attempt. lie is a Durhamite and well known to the people of Durham. Durham Sun. Good Joke on a Young Married Man. The "boys' havo a good joke on a certain l)urhamite, who, if wo should call his namo, would be known by tho most of our readers. But we are not going to give him away. Tho Durhamite in question is a yonng husband and father who was called to Raleigh one day last week on business, and was com pelled to stay over right. He did not sleep much that night and the next morning the first thing he did aftei dressing was to rush madly to the 'phone and asked for his 'phone number hero in Durham, over the long distance line. When hia wife answered him he told her "for goodness sake bring tho baby to the 'phono and let mo hoar it cry as I do not believe I can stand it until I come home this evening." The baby cried, so that ho listened to it 20 miles away ; then he went on with his business as if nothing had happened. Durham Sun. Progress In the South in the First Thee Months ot 1803. Baltimore, Md., March 28. The new manufacturing and mining enterprises in the Southern States, first quarter offc1595, as reported to the Manufacturers' Record, show an aggregate of 891 ; a gain of 229 as compared with the fir6t three months of 1S95. The largest in crease is shown in cotton mills, of which 42 were organized during the last three months, against 9 for the same period of 1894. Of miscel laneous enterprises there were 455 against 293 ; mining and quarrying companies increased from 50 to 62 ; flour mills from 24 to 37, and cotton compresses from one to seven. In addition to these enterprises, the Manufactures' Record is advised of railway projects embracing the construction of about 300 miles of new line in Florida alone. The Greatest Value.

Prof. L. McDonald, principal of the High School here, was indiscreet when ho went away to spend the day on last Sunday and left an amorous note from ono of hia girl pupils in a pocket of his week-day suit. Mrs. McDonald ia a bride of less than a year, and she already has the wifely habit of rumaziner around in her husband's clothes. The letter she found wa8 from a Miss Marshall, a pretty girl of 17 years, the bright est in her class, ana the only cniia of a widowed mother. McDonald fell in love with her several months ago, and the girl's love for him was ardent in return. They met clandestinely and ex changed notes often. A suspicion of the affair had been aroused among the girl's friends, but there had been cothincr aDDroachinar a public scan dal until Mrs. MsDonald found the love letter. The vouncr wife made a 6candal in a hurry, however. She rushed off to her frienda about town and showed them the letter. Most of them 6aw guilt in it, but a few of them thought it contained nothing really incriminating, being willing to make allowances for the writer's youth. Mrs. McDonald's indignation knew no bounds, iv seii-appoiniea committee of her men friends met the Professor on his return and or dered him not to go to hia wife a home or to the school. Ho went to a hotel and tried toi explain thirgs. Nobody was will ing to listen. Last night a public indignation meeting waa held, at which resolutions were passed de nouncing McDonald and giving him twenty-four hours to leave town. A committee waa also appointed to put him out of townif he waa not disposed to go of nia own accord, and they havo prepared tar and feathera for him if he shows any 6igna of reaistence. McDonald refused to talk or to apply to the police for protection, OUl ai. U llUJLUb was still locked in hia room at the -1- ho- tel. When the last train passes through here tonight about 2 o'clock McDonald must ero on it or he will be escorted to the edge of the city by the indignant committee. If ho 6hows fight, tho tar and feathers will be put on him. ihe whole town is arrayed against him, and hundreds will Bit up to see what tho end will be. A JEALOUS WIFE IS THE CAUSE OF IT ALL. Savannah, Ga., March 28. An indignation meeting waa held at Way Cross to-day and the dispatch sent out from New York on Wed nesday, credited to the New York Sun, in which it was stated that the cause of Professor McDonald's res ignation as principal of the High school of that place was a flirtation with one of hia pnpil8, a Miss Mar shall, waa denounced aa false. The facta are stated to be as fol lows: Professor McDonald receiv ed a note from Mies Marshall re gretting that his illness did not per mit mm to co u mi uu io uireei lue music clasa to which 6he belonged. The note, which wa8 a perfectly proper one, fell into the handa of Mrs. McDonald, who is a very jeal- oua woman, oho raised a great row about it and got tho wholo" town to talking. 1 he school board thought it best for Mr. McDonald to resign. Ho did so. He wa8 not asked to leave town and there were no clandestine meetings between him and Miss Marshall and no flir tation. A Novel Plan of Co-Operation. One of tho most gratifying and encouraging facts to be noted in the South at the present time is the dis position among the farmers to aban don the production of cotton and go back to the old method ot raising their own supplies. To this end a novel plan has been hit upon by the farmeis in two counties in Missis sippi, and iu their scheme they have secured the co-operation of. the merchants. The merchants have agreed among themselves, and with the farmers that alter January 1, Ibyo, they will not sell on credit any corn, hay, oats, potatoes, peas or similar products to any fanner. 1 he soil of the counties is well adapted to the growing of food pro ducts, and the idea is to put the farmers under toe stern necessity of raising such crope. The mer chants also agreed that they will give no farmer credit or assistance who will not give attention first to food crops and raise at home all he needs for home supplied. The merchants at the same time pledged themselves that they will do all in their power to develop a homo market for all agricultural products ; that they will buv whatever corn, hav, peas, baccn, tallow, hides, etc., that the farmers may have to sell. Both parties to the agreement, according to the report, are thoroughly in earnest, and will endeavor to live up to the letter and spirit of the bargain. It will be an agreeable surprise to per sons subject to attacks of bilious colic to learn that prompt relief may be had by taking Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In many in stances the attack may be prevented by taking this remedy as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by b. A. Houston, Druggist, Mount Airy, Si.

Some are iu tavor of the Governor calling the Legislature in extra session for. the repeal of this act, while others hold up their handa in holy horror ai such a calamity aa having these men back upon us. Both the Observer, of Charlotte, and the News and Observer, of Raleigh, earnestly urge that the Governor do not call an extra session, tor they say if.it wero possible to require only a repeal this one act and no other, then there would bo no trouble, but if called together again there is no telling what deviltry they may do. Let's try to tide over and not be cursed by an extra session. .Charlotte News: On tho tenth of April Miss Mary B.

Raleigh Correspondence Char lotte Observer: It is the opinion of able lawyers here that it will re quire at least a month to get a de cision of the courts as to the status and legalty of the new assignment act. Telegrama are pouring in from various btate8 inquiring if tho bill really passed. Ed Chambers Smith saya it ia the most infamous act passed in 'zo years, it is oenevea that tho bill was e tamped through by tho clerka. Another assignment bill was discussed in tho Senate bat was killed there by an overwhelm ing majority, yet it was far less ob jectionable than this one. Inquiries are also coming in as to whether tho Governor . will assemble the Legislature. The constitution al lowa pay for not over twenty daya at an extra session. Ihe Governor ia given power to call it by and with tho advice ot the council of tho State, and ia required to state tho specific purpose which ho thinks makes it necessary that the Legisla ture should meet; but it tho coun cil's decision is adverse, tho Gover nor is powerless to have tho Legis lature . assemble. Tho Legislaturo just adjourned absolutely ignored the (jrovernors recommendations and he has no reason to think it would do any better at a special session. The Governor was specially inter viewed by your correspondent thia evening and said: "It ia a matter for the Governor and hia council. Tho latter cannot act save upon tho call of the Governor, and there seems to be a sentiment among those who came in contact with tho last Legis lature noi to have it assemble in ths capital city again." m m Our better halves say they could not keep house without Chamberlain's Cough Keiredy.
