THURSDAY, MAX 23, 1907. I.OND02J, Editor. Tot Confederates' will capture Richmond next week and once more be in 'complete control of their old Capitol. And, as was the case over forty years ago, more North Carolinians will be there than those from any other state, except Virginia. Oar North Carolina veterans will have one continuous Ration given them during their" occupa tion of Eichmond. Special enter taiamenta will be given in their honor and for their pleasure. A large hall has been secured for headquarters, where they can meet each other and .receive visi tors. This hall is on 7th street, between Broad and Clay, and is near the centre of the city. On Wednesday night (the 29th) an entertainment will be given at the North Carolina headquarters (Sanger Hall) by the inimitable Polk Miller complimentary to the Tar Heel veterans. The next night (Thursday) another entertainmnet will be given them at the same place by Mr. Eugene Clowse as sisted by some of the best talent in Richmond. On Friday after noon the choir of Pickett Camp will give an entertainment, and Friday night they will be enter tained by the North Carolina So ciety of Richmond. The Cable Piano Company has kindly given the use of a piano lor our head quarters, which with the Raleigh Drum Corps will afford plenty of music. It will thus be seen that our Tar Heel veterans will have an especially good time. With impressive ceremonies there was unveiled in the Capitol square at Raleigh, on last Mon day, a bronze statue of Ensign Worth Bagley, who was the first and only naval officer killed in our war with Spain. This statue was erected by contributions from "persons all over the United States and its unveiling was an event that attracted attention and inter est throughout the North as .well as the South. The orator of the day was Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobson, now a member of Congress from Ala bama, who so distinguished him self by the sinking of the Merri mac at the entrance of the harbor of Santiago. A short address was also delivered by Lieutenant Vic tor Blue, who performed the per ilous feat of discovering Cervera's fleet in Santiago harbor. It was eminently proper to have these two heroes present at the unveil ing of the monument to their com rade who had lost his life in the same war in which they had so distinguished themselves. Participating in these ceremon ies were Confederate Jand Federal veterans, once foes in battle, but now together honoring the mem ory of the son of a Confederate officer who had fallen in defense of the flag of our reunited ceun try. The death - of this gallant young Southerner has done much towards reconciling the North and South and the unveiling of this statue will intensify that recon ciliation. The last Legislature gave the State Historical Commission an thority to mark and preserve battle-fields, houses and other places celebrated in the history of this State. ' . - This is a most timely and prop er act, and will aid greatly in per petuating important and interest ing historical events and incidents of which North Carolinians have just cause to be proud.jjThe troub - 1 1 "1 . e nerecoiore nas oeen tnat our State has made history but has not preserved or perpetuated it. Adams and Butler are getting warmer and more bitter in their denunciation of each other. It is evident from the length - and bit terness of Butler's last denuncia tion of Adams that he is touched in a tender spot and feels the force of -Adams' denunciation of him. It has become a regular cat and dogfight, discreditable to both as well as to the party "of which they are striving to be the leader in this state. It would not be so bad if any principle was at stake, but it is only a scramble as to which shall be the dispenser of federal offices and be the chief cook at the pie counter! Butler is also attacked most furiously by his former associate, Hon. Thomas B. Watson, of Geor gia, who was once the noted Pop ulist leader of the South. Ia a re cent issue of his paper Watson denounced Butler in terms more severe than ever used by any Dem ocrat and showed how ha had be traved everv partv to which he had ever belonged. He said among other things that Butler had "played the game of trading with both parties so well that he rose from the honorable poverty of a country editor into the taint ed wealth of a national political prostitute his riches being aug mented occasionally by impartial ly swindling the government and the Indians in lobbying mysteri- ous ciausas into appropriation bills." Last week was notable for the important church meetings held in the United States. The South ern .baptist convention met at Richmond, the Northern Baptist Convention met at Washington City, the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly met at Bir mingham and the Northern Pres byterian General Assembly met at Columbus, Ohio. Ali of these church meetings ere largely attended and their proceedings were of much inter est. The Southern Baptist Con vention having been held so. near to this state and so many Baptists living in North Carolina the pro ceedings of that body were of more interest to the people of this state than the proceedings of any one of the other church meetings. The Southern Baptist Convention will meet next year at Hot Springs, Arkansas. The War Department will award in a few days the contract for 20, 000 white marble headstones to mark thej graves of Confederate soldiers who died in Federal prisons and were buried near the place of their imprisonment. This is in accordance with an act of Congress, and the work of mark ing these graves will be done tin der the supervision of Col. Wil liam Elliott, of South Carolina, vvho was appointed some time ago commissioner for that purpose. No pen can fully describe and no mind can fully realize the hard ships endured by both Federal and Coafederate prisoners during the war. It should be remember ed, however, that- the Confederate government treated its prisoners as well as its limited means f per mitted, but the Federal govern ment deliberately tortured its prisoners and starved them when there was an abundance with which to feed them. Roosevelt and his friends al lege that a corruption fund of five million dollars has been raised to defeat the nomination of a Re publican Presidential candidate favorable to his policies. So it seems that the Republicans not only raise a corruption fund to defeat the election of a Democratic President, but also to control the nomination of their own candi date! , Man and wife Drowned. Augusta, Ga.. May 21. Harold T. Anderson and his wife, Louise Anderson, were drowned in the canal locks, seven miles above the city, this afternoon. The canal is being-Jdragged for the bodies. The couple were "with a partv of prominent people who were rid ing down the canal in a small launch. Just before entering: the river they undertook to make a short turn upstream vhen the boat was capsized by the swift current. The four other occupants, one of whom was a lady, swam to the shore. Neither Mr. Anderson nor his wife could swim. Lillington News: We learn on good authority that Burwell De war, colored, who lives just across the river in Hector's Creek towns ship, is the happy father of a boy with three arms, the usual comple ment in the usual places, and an extra one on the back. The extra one is rather small aud is attached to the skin and flesh only. There are other peculiarities about the child that make it a very interest ing specimen. It is several weeks old and m reported to be doing well. Raleigh's latest sensation is the arrest of Dr. D. S. Rowland, ,a prominent physician of that city, who is charged With poisoning his son, on whose life he had some insurance. - Washington Letter. rrom Oat Begalar Correspondent.! . Washington, May 16, 1907. What abont as near a sen sational address as a conservative minister often makes, waa deliver ed this week by Bishop Satterlee, the Episcopal Bishop of Wash ington, at the convention of the diocese just held. It is an address likely to gain wide publicity and create talk in the North though in the South the facts are too well understood to cause any comment except from the fact that . a bishop uttered them. He devoted the major part of his address to the race problem and said, as ev eryone in the southern part of the country is keenly aware, that it was the most pressing problem before the American people. What he said that will hurt and what is sure to cause a lot of talk in the North was that the negro race was distinctly an inferior race, mentally, morally and physically, that suffrage was a failure, having been tried for forty years and having failed utterly to mak equals with the white race out of people who were racially inferior. He said some more true but not at all diplomatic things about the childish efforts of the race to grasp social equality through money, land holding and educa tion, aud added that while he would cheerfully give the negro race all the advantages in these lines that they could have, noth ing that they could do would ever make them anything but what they were, a race below the stan dard of the white. Further, arid this is likely to cause adverse comment in the Episcopal Church, he said that the Methodist system of local preachers and class leaders was just the thing needed to reach the mass of the colored population, and he formally recommended the organization of a local preacher system among the colored people within the jurisdiction of the Episcopal Church. The experi ment will be watched with a great deal of interest in Washington, which has the largest negro popu lation of any city in the world and where anything that could be done to lighten the race curse would be an unmixed blessing. It has been settled, by the party in power that Oklahoma and In dian Territory are not to come in to the Union as a state till after the next presidential election, if then. It is purely a matter of politics. Three or four Democratic representatives and two Demo cratic senators are not wanted at the Capitol, and there are good reasons why they will not get there. Fault is found with the constitution that Oklahoma has adopted. It is said to be too radical: and too hard on corpora tions. This is a remarkable com plaint from a "trust-busting" ad ministration. Then it is claimed that the state has been gerrmand ered so that it will never be any thing but Democratic. It takes a pretty fair sprinkling of voters to gerrymander a state in the first place, and if this has been done, which is open to question, it is no more than what was done in the case of Ohio, and other states, but that was in the interest of the other party! Anyhow" the fate of Oklahoma is settled for some time to come. The constitution cannot be adopted without executive ap proval, and it has been settled by the party leaders that this shall not be given. There are almost as many Dem ocratic possibilities for the Presi dential nomination coming for ward as there are Republican, and that is useless. It is claimed that there is a large element in the party who would be glad of any thing to beat Bryan for the nomi nation, and these members are putting forward several candidates to feel the party pulse. Of course Senator Daniels of Virginia has been a possibility for a long time and recently his name has been talked of more than ever. It is quite possible that he may be mentioned before the convention assembles and mentioned in such a way, as to compel recognition. This week Judge Gray of Dela ware was at the White House and he was plainly talked of to Presi dent Roosevelt as the possible head of the opposition ticket. Marse Henry Watterson has not come out for anybody yet in the Democratic ranks. He has select ed Gov. Hughes to make the run ning for the Republican party and says he has something good in re serve for his own party, but he has not yet taken the public into his confidence as to who it is. The Department of Justice has announced its intention of insti tuting proceedings in a few days against the Powder lrust whose head is Dupont, the new Senator from Delaware. The bureau of corporations has been hard at work investigating the operations of this trust for months past, and has discovered that not .only has it been powerful enough to al most completely stifle compotiton, but that it now has the govern ment entirely at its mercy and in case of war could exact any price that it chose for the powder nec- a i m essary to tne country s aeiense. Whatever is the outcome of the prosecution, it is almost assured that the government will establish t JJ l F 1 a number oi lactones oi us own for service manufacture.. HIS "DEAREST' It Took More Than Coaxing to Male t Johnny Use the "term. Shortly after Mrs. Frances Hodg son. Burnetts book, "little Ixrrd Fauntleroy" appeared die went with her two little boys to a seaside hotel. The story had made a great sensation, and there hud ensued a regular epidemic of Fauntleroy curls, Fauntleroy suits and Fauntle roy youngsters- In the room next to that ; occupied by Mrs. Burnett was a dashing, rather overdressed widow, with a red haired, bullet headed son of about seven, who was the terror of the hotel.- Anticipat ing the arrival of the famous au thor, the mother had purchased a complete and elaborate Fauntleroy outfit, with which she proceeded to deck out her unappreciative and re bellious offspring. Not content with this outward seeming, the woman desired to com plete the caricature by compelling her precious child to address her as "dearest," after the manner of the hero of the book, instead of "mom- mer pr,more frequently, merely as had been his previous cus "say- tom Mrs. Burnett arrived no sooner than she had been expected, but ap parently before little Johnny had entirely completed his course of in struction in filial courtesy, as was evident by the sounds which pene trated the thin lath and plaster par tition between the rooms. This is what Mrs. Burnett heard: "Johnny!" Silence. ' "Johnny, do you hear me V Silence. . "Call me 'Dearest Silence. "Will you call me 'Dearest or shall I make you?" "Yer can't make me." "Yes, I can. Call me 'Dearest !' " "Go ter blazes!" That's no way to speak to me." "It's a good sight better'n you want me to say." "It isn't. Call me 'Dearest!'" Silence. - "Do you want me to use the trunk strap ? Call me 'Dearest P " Silence. "Call me Nearest V Silence. Biff! Biff! Biff! Biff! "Call me Dearestr" "I won't!" Biff! "I won't!" Biff! Biff! "Ouch! You hurt!" "Then call me 'Dearest!'" "Oh, all right, then, dearest." "Now, see here. If you don't re member to call me 'dearest' at din ner tonight I'll wallop you within an inch of your life, you ungrateful thing!" Success. Becomes a Little Rebel. That there is a startling differ ence between the temper of the ris ing generation and that of the youth whose young ideas shot up according to the teachings of Mrs. Hannah More and Sanford and Merton has recently been proved by a little seven-year-old girl, who was laboriously spelling her way through a reading lesson. "Always epeak the truth," she said, "and obey your parents. "Be gentle and quiet. Nev-er slam the door and shout and scream a-bout the house. "At the ta-ble eat slowly, not in a greed-y man-ner, like a pig." Suddenly the little girl shut the book with a portentous bang and announced with firmness and deci sion: "I'm not going . to let. any old Third Reader boss me like thatl" -Rochester Herald.
