Tour of Inspection to be Made Later.
Dr. J. Hyde Pratt is in New
York on business connected with
the Crest of the Blue Ridge High
way. The tour of inspection of
the Central Highway, which was
to have begun Monday at Mt.
Sterling, in Haywood county, has
been postponed until a later date,
when the road is nearer com
pletion and other matters ar
ranged more satisfactorily. This
postponement of the inspection
is on account of the fact that the
Central Highway was not ready
to be opened up by the time of
the date mentioned above, and
also that the people who were to
have furnished an automobile for
the inspection found it impossible
to do so at this time. The date
when the tour will start will be
announced later.
Mr. Atwater Shoots Himself.
The News regrets to hear of
the tragic death of a former
Chapel Hill young man, Mr. Ed.
E. Atwater, who was well known
throughout this section. Mr.
Atwater left Chapel Hill about a
year ago and went to Miami, Fla.,
with his brother, Mr. Jas. At-
wgter, and from all accounts he
was getting on nicely in his new
home. The shocking news was
received here Saturday that Mr.
Ed. E. Atwater had shot himself.
We failed to learn the particulars
of the sad affair. The remains
reached here Tuesday on the
11:45 train, and were taken to the
home of hif sister, Mrs. Isaac
W. Pritchard, and on yesterday
the', burial took place at Cedar
Grove church, twelve miles
south-west of Chapel Hill. De
ceased was a brother of County
Commissieser Thos. A. Atwater.
A large crowd of relatives and
friends attended the burial.
In the Right Direction.
It is becoming more and more
the case that almost every busi
ness industry is putting the ban
upon the use of intoxicants by
employees. The Lackawanna
Railroad Company has passed
this rule: “The use of intoxi
cants while on or off duty, or
the visiting of saloons or places
where liquor is sold, incapaci
tates men for railroad service,
and is absolutely prohibited.
Any violation of this rule by em
ployees in engine, train, yard or
station service will be sufficient
cause for dismissal.”
This is a step in the right direc
tion. The using of intoxicants
hurts the business that the em
ployee works for as well as the
employee himself, and the Bur
lington News well says that the
day is not far distant when the
defender of liquor will be laughed
out of court.
Attention, Men
of Orange County!
The General George Burgwyn
Anderson Chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy—
a mere handful of women, is try
ing to raise funds to build a mon
ument to the men of Orange
county, North Carolina, who
served at the front in the fight
ing days of the sixties.
They claim for this county,
that, in proportion to her fighting
strength, she sent more men to
the defense of the South than
any other county in the Confed
eracy. For by actual record of
names and commands, out of a
population of 1,818 men in No
vember, 1360, she sent 1.727 men
into the army; and should all of
Orange county men who. served
in the regiments of other States
be added to these, the count
would go up well into the thou
sands. There were Orange coun
ty men ie the Bethel regiment
that historic Sunday in June,
1861. Orange county men furled
the flag of Company G, 27th Reg
iment, N. C. Volunteers, at Ap
pomattox. From the first drum
tap—from Bethel to Gettysburg:
through the Trans-Mississippi,
on land and on sea, her sons of
all ages and conditions gave
themselves to the State, and
served with distinguished gal
lantry wherever they were
placed, until our bugles wailed
themselves into eternal silence
one April day in 1865 amidst the
Blue Virginia hills.
And now the time has come
when a fitting memorial should
beerected to keep alive this story
of loyal service till the trumpet
of the resurrection shall blow
time’s* last reveille, and these
men shall stand at “Attention”
for the last great roll call of “the
Captain of their Salvation,” the
God of battle, and the Lord of
hosts.
And we 1 appeal to the State
pride and loyalty of all Orange
county men from Maine to Texas,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
to help us make imperishable the
record of this matchless story, so
that it may teach the generations
yet unborn what love and loyalty
to a glorious past demand of
them should days of stress and
sacrifice for their State face them
in years to come.

Death of Mrs. James C. MacRae.
Mrs. MacRae, widow of Judge
James C. MacRae, late dean of
the University Law School, died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
E. J. Lilly, at Fayetteville, Sat
urday afternoon, of apoplexy.
Mrs. MacRae had been ill about
three weeks with malarial fever,
but her condition was not con
sidered serious and her death
came rather unexpected. She
had been in Fayetteville for a
month visiting those of her sons
and daughters who reside there.
Mrs. MacRae was an unusually
lovely and gifted woman; intel
lectual culture distinguished her.
She possessed considerable liter
ary ability. She was the only
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. S. J.
Hinsdale; of Fayetteville, and in
1867 married James C. MacRae,
who later became a Supreme
Court justice and was at the time
of his death three years ago dean
of the University Law School.
She leaves eight sons and
daughters and a host of relatives
and friends over the State, who
deeply deplore Per untimely de
parture. The remains were
buried by the side of her hus
band at Fayetteville.
