VOL- XX V; RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA; THURSDAY. MAY 2. 1307. NO. 17. Ain)i:i:sft nv t)U. jamkS A; iioYf; of Greenville, S. C. HE Confederate soldier stands uniquely among the rep resentatives of a cause that was lost. He has never made apologies to the most ran corous foe or most intimate idmiued to his rieiirt that there was regret for the art borne by him in the struggle for me masterv. He accented the situa tion in which lie found himself, and Inteml without delay upon a career f industry, frugality and hopeful en- ircy that has rescued the waste places and restored the vitalities that lore suppressed for four long years. he absorbing: interest during that period was directed to a single point, he achievement of independence for he Southern Confederacy, and when ;hat had failed utterly and irrevoca bly, the men who had braved all and uffered all. thrusting aside the spirit if revenge so natural in human disap pointments, went earnestly to work Fith the purpose of retrieving the ossos incident to a state of war.

Who was it made this a rossihil Pointing in the fnnfpilpriito snlrliers Rs the foundation stone of whatever lec!opmnt has come, and as being entitled tn tho creAt nt nronartrur th vy for tha iliimitabla expansion of -wuusg years. With smiling fields a"d happy homes, growing commerce &uu kerning industries, enlarged edu cttional facilities nnd lnereased growth of religious sentiment, the stands fairly to the front as including- Jiakes life desirable, which, to the dimmed eyes of many who haVe acted eU their part in this drama, far ex ry vs -i ci xt K&m cels the possession of colossal for tunes gained at the expense of toiling millions. Amid the labors and sacrifices of all these years, the precious dust of our fallen heroes 19 not fotgotten. The inspiration which Came to a Southern woman almost identical with the close of hostilities has been perpetuated every season with the coming of the flowers that tell of their resurrection. It is this which has called us together, and as the graves are bedecked with the em blems of purity and innocence, the mind goes back with unerring in stinct to the days when shot and shell fell thick and fast among the young men of the South, whose libations were freely offered in defense of what they believed to tre right. O, that it were in my power to depict what death meant to those youthful heroes at whose graves we linger with fond est memories. They recked not that danger was nigh when duty called. It was theirs to leave a heritage of valor and consecration far better than glittering gold and more precious than diamonds. Are these memories to be brushed aside, and must the glory of splendid achievement in a noble cause bevfor ever stifled? To the South belongs the pathos, the poetry, the romance of the great struggle, let who will en joy the triumph. The distinction is material and everlasting. It is won derful that an eminent civilian of New England soon after the war pro posed to obliterate all recollections of the strife by putting 'Out of sight all the relics that savored of battle and carnage. He desired not to pre serve the torn and tattered flags that epitomized the glories of Gettysburg and Shiloh, and he would not erect monuments to the men who scaled Missionary Ridge or planted the Stars and Stripes upon Vicksburg embat- tlements. His conviction was that the sections would be reunited more speedily by complete oblivion of the past. In this he was surely mistaken. A nation that would stifle the impulse to honor the heroic dead and bury out of view the glorious achievements of its sons deserves Itself to perish irom the' face of the earth. War with its inevitable horrors is to be deplored, but the nations of antiquity no less than those of modern times are more renowned through their warriors than exalted in their statesmen who were purely civilians, as a general rule. It is lamentable that peace has not pre vailed' throughout the ages, when we look upon the cruelties and oppres sions that are inseparable from grim visaeed war. but blood has flowed where freedom ever gained a foot hold, and crimson is the royal color. In the language of another: "Eng land was redeemed by blood; Italy was united by blood; Switzerland be came free through blood; Germany was emancipated by blood; America secured its liberty through blood; and Jt is even so that the great hope which lifts us up toothings invisible and eternal came to us by blood." To erase the remembrance of cruea war we must blot out the history of every neoDle who have wrought nobly in behalf of the freedom and enlighten ment of the human race. Sad as it is in many respects, the heart of man kind is ever touched with the story of conflict and conquest and callous must be the soul whose inmost re cesses are not stirred by the struggles of patriots for the boon of freedom or the preservation of independence. Valiant Cubans striving td throw off the yoke of the tyrant Spainj or heroic tireece defying the great powers of fiurbpd irt an effort to maintain itself among the nations of the world, must arouse the deepest sympathy of every man who has ever felt the glow of patriot ism in his own breast. No; it Is not in vain that men give honor to the deeds of heroes, and that they gather the relics which speak more elo quently than words of the courage and constancy of their fathers, or build monuments that will point fu ture generations to the valor and vir tue of a noble ancestry. In this presence it is unnecessary to eulogize the patience through pri vationHhat marked the Confederate soldier as he plodded along the weary years, helping to re-establish the prosperity of the land that gave him birth and to rehabilitate the govern ment of his fathers. The highest en comium that he can receive ia the abundant testimony of those who were once his enemies, for in all the land there is not heard the faintest whisper that the ex-Confederates are unmindful of their obligations as citizens of a common country. The false charge of disloyalty has van ished into thin air, and the ground less calumny that he was not fit to be trusted has been blotted oui by the splendid representatives furnished by the South for service at home and abroad.

Those be the partakers of the sublime glory of the Confederate armies, and we come in tenderness and devotion and affection to mark, beautify and bless the soil that garners their dust, and to declare that the memories of the virtues, of the courage, of the chiv alry, of the bravery, of the sacrifices, of the sufferings, of the renown of our departed comrades shall be as deathless as their deeds were illus trious. "Ily fairy hands their knell is rang. By forms unseen their dirge is sung. Here honor comes a pilgrim gray To bless the turf that wraps their clay. And Freedom doth a while repair.

The1 ibstaiu-e of the conclusions reached by t he tfnirt aiv: The giving; or receiving of a rebaiC or concession whereby properjy in inter-State or foreign exunmerfe is transiorted at a less rate than that legally filed and published is a viola tion of the Klkinn act and is n con tinuous crime, ad judicable in any court of the United States having jurisdiction of any district tlirouwh which transportation is conducted. The rates of transportation from places in the United State's to ports of trans-shipment and from ports of entry to places in the United States, of property in foreign countries ear ned under through bills of lading are required to be filed and published ly the amended inter-State commerce act of 1887. If carried under an aggregate through rate which is the sum of ccean rate and the rate from or to a place in tJie United States, to or from the port of trans-shipment, or of entry, the latter rate is required to be. filed and published. ' - If csntd under a joint through rate by virtue of a common contrd, management oi arrangement of the inland ocean carriers, the joint rate is required to be filed and published. Essence of the Offense. The giving or receiving- of the re bate or concession whereby property ni inter-State or foreign commerce is tir-nsported at less than the estab lished rate, is the essence of the of fense pertinently denounced bv the Eikins act. The "device" bv which the concession or transportation is brought about is not an essential element of the crime and it is un recessary to plead it in the indict ment. The naminor of the clause "bv any device whatever" in the Eikins act is, directly or indirectly, in any way whatever. Secretary Wilson Chief Speaker. Pittsburg, Pa., Special.

The Supreme Court of the Unifi'd State has decided in effect that tl. railroad commissioner of Xorth Carol! tin can compel a railroad com pany operaUn-r In thai State to ii jidjuf-t its rrhfdule as to accomino d?.le paoenger on other lines from any particular part of the State. The opinion was delivered by Justice White in the case of the Atlantic (Vast Line Railroad Company s. the corKratioii eoinmi-xioii of North Carolina. The eat-e arose out of an order issued by the Commissioners di recting the railroad company to make connection at Sclma at '2:2." p. m. with a train on another line mu lling Iron the eastern part of the State, with the object of accommo dating passengers whose1 destination was Kaleish. The railroad company resisted the order on the ground that it could not bi complied with without putting on a special train which would involve extra expense. This, it wascontended, amounted to taking property -without due process of law. The commission justified its course on the ground that compliance with the order was necessary to aeommodate a la rue part of the public. The Su preme Court of Xorth Carolina held against the railroad company, and it decision was afHrmed by the -action of the Supcrme Court of the United States on the ground that the order of the commission does not affect the rates but is a proper act of State regulation..
