It was 12:30 when the band crashed mto "Pixie." and after a burst of rhecring the exercises began, the wait being rather tiresome and the sunshine bet amU close set trees. Every inch of fpace within hearing was filled. Chair man Henry A. London, as master of ceremonies, announced the opening prayer hy Chaplain James A. Weston, major of the late Thirty-third Regi ment, saying that Mr. Weston, forty jcars aso. was a faithful soldier in an earthly war. but ever since has been a faithful soldier of the cross. Chaplain Weston's prayer was for blessing and jeaoe for all parts of our common coun try, for love of union of these States ind readiness and willingness to devote 3ur highest energies to the mainten ance of our union; for blessings upon every Confederate grave. He said most touch ingly: "We commend to thee, O Sod. these survivors of our most wor thy cause." Chairman London, in a few admir b!y phrased sentences, referred to the memorial which marks the closing enes of the Confederacy, saying that the veterans of the Stars and Bars had sndured four years of suffering and pnvatians which marked life in that rmy, had been brave always, constant ilways. self-forgetting and exhibiting the highest type of patriotism; that on this last day they Were found in battle irray as if on dress parade and charg ed as enthusiastically, with the old rebel yell, as they had done when they fought at Manassas almost four voars before.

There is no disparagement of the brav ery or the endurance of any Confeder ate soldier, but with the fortune of war that Xoith Carolina should be in a po rtion to do things that were done here. in- it bas so come about that Grime3 Planned the last fight; that last Fed-?r-l battery was captured cn yonder by Roberts' brigade; that last skir- '"i-a was fought on yonder side of old Lynchburg road bv the Fourteenth and rwer.ty-fourth North Carolina Regi teents. or rather their fragments, and last charge made and the last vol- P tired by the organized infantry of Luxe s brigade. North Carolina is proud w tnese things, but does not boast of wem. as her sons only did their duty. pernor .Montague made a splendid aadress and was followed by Governor .lenn- whose oration was a master-P'-eee of impassioned eloquence. In closing, he told about what hap JE3 at Appomattox and what North arcunans did there. His impassioned tvu8nd forceful gestures putting i-e whole power of that scene on that awful day forty years ago before his tear is like a. painting on a wall, bold ftad ?y of that superb soldier, Gen.

The od of Irofsor Stockard was beautiful and was nad with much feel ing an! was highly complimented? The day was one tp be long remembered. NORTH CAROLINA CROPS Department of Agriculture Issue Bul letin of Conditions. During the first few days of April the weather conditions continued very favorable for farm work and the growth of crops; but the middle por tion of the week ending Monday, Ap lil 10th, 190."), was rather unfavorable In some respects, chiefly on account of the deficiency In temperature. Light to heavy rains occurred, mostly o the 5th and 6th, accompanied at sev eral places in the central section by hail and dangerous winds, while in the Blue Ridge snow covered the mountains with a white mantle. The severest local storms occurred at Sal isbury, Spencer and Mooresville, with much injury to buildings and forest trees. Subsequently the temparature fell considerably, so that the mean for the week was over 2 degrees daily below the normal. The temperature reached a few degrees below freezing in the higher regions of the west and in some instances this ice formed. Light frosts occurred in the eastern portion of North Carolina on the 8th, in the northern and western portion on the 7th, 8th and 9th. The damage to fruit and berries in the east was small, but peaches and other fruits appear to have been much thinned out in the Piedmont plateau region, just east of the Blue Ridge mountains. The rainfall stopped plowing during the latter portion of the week, but as March had been quite dry, moisture was beginning to be needed and the soil was placed in excellent condition for plowing; in general farm work, while backawrd in some section Is fairly well advanced. Forests and meadows are showing green even in the western mountain region. The rainfall this week was very fav orable for winter wheat, oats and rye, as well as for clover and pastures. Wheat and oats are thrifty and ap pear not to have been much checked by the cold weather; stands are good. A. large acreage was seeded to spring oats and the work is nearly finished; spring oats are up nicely and look well. The preparation of land for corn, cot ton and peanuts is sufficiently advanc ed to enable planting to proceed ac tively the coming week. Some upland corn has been planted and is coming up well. In the extreme south a few acres have been planted in cotton. To bacco plants in beds are small, but look well, though checked by the cold weather. Trucking crops are doing well, including Irish potatoes, beans, peas, cabbages and radishes; ship ments of lettuce and radishes are in creasing in quantity. Strawberries are a little late, were checked by cold and light frosts, but promise a good yield; they" will be ready for shipment soon; the strawberry weevil appears to be doing considerable damage in the sec tion from Mount Olive to Wilmington and Chadbourn. A good many fruit trees such as peaches, pears, plums, cherries and apples are still in full bloom in the west. U. S. Department of Agriculture, Weather Bureau, North Carolina section. State Soil Test Farm. Announcement was made from the office of the State Department of Agri culture Monday morning that the farm the Department has selected at Wil lard for a truck test farm is one owned by J. M. and C. M. Johnson and con sists of 230 acres. It is an entirely different place from the one that was selected at Willard two weeks ago, and the title to which could not be cleared. Willard is 50 miles from Wilming ton. The Department was very favor ably inclined to the Gerald farm at Wilmington, but feared that it is too highly cultivated already to afford a fair test of what can be done in truck ing on the native soil Makes Fresh Start. Norfolk, Va., Special The United States cruiser Galveston, which left here ten days ago on her maiden voy age for Culebra," and sustained an ac cident when some 300 miles down the coast, which compelled her to return to the Norfolk navy yard for repairs, made a fresh start.

St. Petersburg, Special. There 13 reason to believe that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's entrance into the China Sea has been followed by orders for the cruisers Gromoboi. Rossia and Bo ?atir, which has been ready for some time at Vladivostock to put to sea. Whether It is the intention to ten 1 them south Immediately or to hold them in the vicinity of Vladivostock is not known. Their appearance outside the roadstead of Vladivostock would constitute a potential threat' against Admiral Togo's rear, which will com pel the retention in, or dispatch a num ber of heavy fighting ships to Japanese waters. Thus Admiral Togo seems to be virtually placed between two fircs.j The peace influences in the govern ment urge this favorable strategic po sition presents the psychological mo ment for offeritg officially the olive branch to Japan, reasoning that no matter how confident the Japanese government may be of Admiral Togo's victory, it will not overlook the possi bility of defeat or fail to appreciate the complete disaster which would follow the transfer of the mastery of the sea to Russia. With so much depending up on the issue, they argue, both countries have mutual interest in avoiding an ac tual test, and it Is not impossible, therefore, that a new movement in the direction of peace may come just as the world expects to hear the call to quar ters for the greatest naval battle of modern times. Certainly the spirits of the war party have been greatly raised by Rojestvensky's success in penetrat ing to the China Sea; and the prospect of a naval battle, even with the odds against Russian victory, which would change the entire complexion of the situation, has aroused something like a flash of enthusiasm in many Russian breasts. Some naval officers express the opin ion that Rojestvensky having now safe ly navigated the straits, instead of Bailing north to meet the Japanese, can afford to calmly await- Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, with his division of squad ron, which could arrive there in about three weeks. The Russian Admiralty on Sunday received a long dispatch form Singa pore, but no intimation as to its con tents has been given to the newspa pers. The papers Sunday morning printed Singapore dispatches without comment. The Sviat being ,the only exception. This paper views the news from Rojestvensky as an auspicious prelude to a decisive battle, "which may show that over Rojestvensky still shines the happy star which helped him. when a lieutenant, to save the fragile Vesta in an unequal conflict with a Turkish battleship." The Evia( expresses the hope that Rojestvensky Is destined to turn the tables, and that even in case of defeat, some of his vessels will be able to break through end reach the Sea of Japan.. Eight Miners Killed. Roanoke. Va.. Special. A special from Allisonia, Pulaski county, Va., to The Times, says: "While tamping powder in a blast Saturday after noon at the Ardway limestone quarry, in this county, about four miles west of Allisonia, the blast was accidently discharged.

Wadesboro, Spwlal. To men, pre sumably professional safe-crackers, were shot and seriously wounded by a posse of citizens in the woods four miles from Wadesboro Saturday after noon. A third man made his escape and Is now being pursued. The wounded men were brought to Wadesboro tonight and lodged in jail. One of them is shot through the stom ach and is supposed to be fatally wounded. The other received a num ber of bullets in bis arms and legs and several bones are broken. Both men preserve absolute silence and so far there is no clue to their identity. A quantity of nitro-glycerine, several tools, twer darks lanterns, two pistols, and a considerable amount of money was found on them. The money is in silver and greenback and is in the possession of the sheriff. The men are well dressed and of genteel ap pearance. The local authorities were apprised of the coming of the three men by a telephone message from McFarlan, a village in the lower edge of Anson, near the South Carolina line, this af ternoon. The message stated that three strangers, who acted suspicious ly, had boarded Atlantic Coast Line trains, one a freight and the other two passenger trains. A posse of citi zens was immediately formed, and led by Constable Jim Porter, of Liles ville township, started south, while local officers watched incoming trains. When about four miles southeast of Wadesboro the posse came upon the three strangers, who had left their trains there, joined forces and started across the country in the direction of Lilesville. The posse commanded the trio to halt, but the men todk to their heels in an effort to escape and the posse opened fire. About twenty-five shots were fired and two of the strangers fell, seriously wounded. The third got away and the greater portion of the posse continued in pursuit, while the others guarded the two wounded men and awaited the arrival of the sheriff. Though the two men were armed they made no effort to re turn the fire of the posse. Dr. J. H. Bennett went to the scene bt the bat tle and dressed the wounds of the men, returning with them to town to night. The warning of the presence of the men in the McFarlan neighborhood came from Kershaw, S. C, and as the latter place is only a few miles from Heath Springs, S. C, it is presumed that the men overhauled by the posse are wanted in connection with the robbery of a safe at Heath Springs less than a week ago. North State News.

At two o'clock Thursday morning. Rev. Dr. Thomas E. Skinner, the old est Baptist minister in this State, and very widely known, died at Rex Hos pital in Raleigh of pneumonia, which set in last Monday. He was apparent ly quite well Monday morning. Ills age was 80 years, and he was born in Hertford county, his father being Mr. Charles Skinner. He was a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and of the Union Theological Semin ary, New York. His first charge as a pastor was the First Baptist Church here, which was built by his father, who was very wealthy. For several years. Dr. Skinner was pastor of the leading Baptist Church at Memphis. He .was twice married, his second wife having been Miss Ludlow, of New York, who died two years ago. Three children survive, Mrs. Snow, Mrs. MeGehee and Mr. Charles Skin ner. All three childre are here. Dr. Skinner was greatly beloved. For 30 years he was president of the board ol trustees of Wake Forest Col lege. His fine library was made a gift to that college. Last year he had an attack of pneumonia, but apparent ly recovered entirely. He gave - up Raleigh as hi3 home about two years ago, after his son Ludlow was shot and killed "here, and went to Arden, near Asheville, to live with a daugh ter. He was on a visit here to Rev. Dr. Tyree and Mr. C. B. Edwards. It is a matter of comment that he should have returned to his old home to die. He was a wonderful man, and in the midst of crushing sorrows never lost hope, his faith, his trust, his love. His body has been placed in the First Baptist Church, to remain until the funeral tomorrow. The burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery. Dispensary Beat at Asheville. Asheville, Special. The election in Asheville to determine whether the mountain metropnlis should take whis key straight from a dispensary pint bottle or have the privilege of indulg ing in fancy drinks over the bar coun ter, resulted in a sweeping victory for the open saloons, the dispensary suf fering defeat by a majority of 529. The total vote cast was 1,337, or al most 400 !hort of the registered vote. The election was, contrary to expecta tions, one of the quietest and most orderly for many years. All the per sonal feeling and bitterness that was manifested during the campaign seem ed to have bejen entirely eliminated, and the forces worked in good humor. At an early hour, the dispensary cause was given much encouragement, and in several of the precincts the dis pensary led until shortly after eight o'clock, when the opponents began flocking to the polls, and at 9.30 the saloons had a lead of 300. From this hour on, the dispensary gradually lost, until the closing of the polls, when the official vote showed a majority for the saloons. Partridge Executed. Fayettevllle. Special.
