June 3, the birthday of Jefferson
Davis, was observed as Memorail

priate exercises, under the auspices
ofv the Daughters of Confederacy.
A large assembly gathered in the

drefs was delivered by Judge M.
Justus. At the close of the of the
exercises in the court house, the as
sembly repaired -to the monument

wards a lunch was served to ? the
veterans by the local chapter oLthe
u.d:c.
The proceedings were deeply im
pressive, i A pleasant feature of the
occasion was the fact ; that several
Union veterans,'by invitation, join
ed in the exercises. : ; ;

Rev. Q. S. Jones
Rev. G. S. Jones died at 2:20
o'clock Monday afternoon, June 6
at the residence of his nephew C. F.
Toms, in Hendersonville. Funeral
services were held Tuesday morning
at the residence, Rev. A. I. Justice
officiating and the pastors of all the
Hendersonville churches being pres
ent. The mterment took place at
Oakdale Cemetary in Wilmington.
Mr. Jones was born in Pasquotank
county in 1837, and was in his' sev
ty-third year at the time of his death.
He came to Hendersonville fifty
years ago and engaged in the work of
teaching and preaching. A few
years after he came here he mar
Miss Margaret G. French, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George R. French
of Wilmington, who died about six
years ago. For the past forty years
Mr. Jones had been employed by the
American Sunday School Union of
Philadelphia in the work of estab
lishiog and organizing Sunday
schools in this neighborhood, a con
genial work to which he devoted him
self with unremitting industry and
enthusiasm.
Kindly in disposition, courteous
in manner, upright in life, Mr. Jones
was a citizen of whom the the com
munity might well be proud. Not
only in Hendersonville but through
out the county he was well known
and held in the highest esteem,
and on countless occassions was
called upon to share in the joys and
sympathize with the sorrows of the
people among whom the last fifty
years of his life were spent. This
death will be felt as a great loss not
only by the Baptist denomination
but by all who knew him. A geni
al,"cultured Christian gentleman has
been taken from us, and the com
munity has lost a valued citizen
whose place will be hard indeed-to
filL
By his will Mr. Jones leaves near

School Union to be used in its mis

Raleigh, June 6. Friday after
noon Governor. Kitchen issued hh
his proclamation calling the general
assembly of North Carolina to meet
in extraordinary session on Tuesday
June 14, for the purpose of consider
the emergency resulting from the
inability of the state treasurer to
sell the $3,430,000 4 per cent forty
year bonds issued to redeem the
bonds of the state falling due July
first, and enacting legislation to se
cure the needed funds. The gov
ernor has written personal letters to
all the banks in the state asking
that a conference of bankers be
held in Raleigh June 8, and the
state treasurer for the third time
has advertised for bids to be filed
by June 18. If this conference of
bankers and the bids made June 10
result in floating the balance of the
bond issue, then the call for an ex
tra session of the legislature will be
revoked.
Tke extra session of the legislature
will cost the taxpayers of (he state
at least $25,000. When the session
opens the governor will recommend
some means of meeting the crisis.
The rate of interest may be increas
ed to 5 per cent, but it is by no
means certain mat tne bonds can
even then be floated. The country
has been flooded with circulars
from a New York syndicate repre
senting the old special tax repudat
ed bonds and these circulars are
designed to prevent banks outside
of the state from bidding on the
bonds and are having a serious ef
fect. The extra session may provide
that the council of state borrow
money and attempt to float the re
maining part of the issue in this
way. The state might pledge its
North Carolina railroad stock to se
cure a temporary loan. If the re
publican party was in power and
failed to meet the bonded indebt
edness of the state and had to call
a special session of the legislature
there would be a h6wl irom the '
democratic press all over the state;
The situation is indeed critical; uud.
tne credit oi worm Carolina is at
siaxe. ,
The democratic politicians will
strive t;o restrict the session to the
bond question, it is believed, but it
is not certain that this can be done.
A. J. Maxwell who was formerly
clerk in the state senate, has been
apponted clerk to the North - Caro
lina corporation commission to suc
ceed Henry Clay Brown, who was.
appointed to the vacancy on the
corporation commission.
The Wake county republican ex
ecutive committee met here Satur
can primaries and county conven
tion. The primaries will be held
in the various precincty July 30,
and the county convention, which
will name delegates to the state,
congressional and judicial conven
tions and nominate the county and
legislative tickets, will be held Sat
urday, August 6. The republican
party in Wake county is in splend
id condition. Wake county holds
the banner for the greatest republi
can gains in the last election and
the i republicans are preparing) to
take every advantage xf- the split
in the democratic ranks.
