i CHAR1-..OTTE NEWS, AUGUST 7, 1903. ONFEDERATE REUNION AT ML ZION CHURCH (Continued From First P-ige.) Leaped flowers at its base. This tender reverence for the dead has an en ncbling influence and no people can fail to be made better by it. As to the benevolent part of the work. This is shown most by the lov ing care taken of indigent and helpless veterans, many of whose fortunes were shattered by the war forcing them in their old age to rely on others for sustenance. In our own State much has been done toward the care of the vet erans in our Soldiers Home, and hos pital, by these, organizations. The com mon cause for which they fought has 1-cund the veterans together by strong ties of friendship, and wherever there is need they are ready to give assist ance. In the benevolent work, the Children of the Confederacy have been i.. -ecislly activ? and labor untiringly. Finally, in regard to the social part. Ycu who were at the great reunion in New Oilcans saw with what gladness and overflow of hospitality the vet e.aas were welcomed, and can feel n ore than ever the glowing, genuine love the whole South bears for the n.di in gray. And each year the num ber grows larger of. those who gather to revere the memories of the dead and to do homage to the living. It is indeed a pleasure to attend these great gatherings, to listen to masterly addresses by Southern ora tors, to see the meeting of soldier fi iends many of whom parted forty years ago. to hear them recount to gether the battles won and lost, to lis ten to thrilling war-time experiences, and to enjoy the telling of many a joke until now almost forgotten. And such occasions as this today are glad times in the lives of us all. Let us have them of;cn; and by so doing, bring our people closer together in the bond of j friendship. And on these days let our coming together be made worth while in giving or obtaining information about the war. There are many men here who served throughout the war who have something of interest to tell us. and their actual experience re counted would be valuable historical contributions. In closing. I would urge every one here to become a member of one of our Confederate organizations. I have given ycu briefly an outline of the work, but I would impress it upon you that it is a noble work, an interesting work, an ci.joyable work. It is your duty, and should be your pleasure to take part. The following paper was then read by Miss Fcriba Grier of Charlotte: ""My friends. I wish I could tell you how much pleasure and happiness it gjes me to be present with you again today. I regard the days spent here at the reunions of the Veterans of Com pany C and Company K, as the very j best and most pleasant of my life. For j I'm very sure that no where else can j e found such happy hearts as those j assembled here today to do honor to the'j memory of brave Southern soldiers. j "The occasion is a joyous one, and i yet sadness is mingled with the joy, ! for when I look around I note that i seme familiar faces are missing, and I know that several of your brave com- j rades have, since last year, passed over the river to rest under the shade of the trees. Year by year the ranks of the immortal soldiers who followed the stainless sword of Robert Lee or j who marched with Stonewall Jackson, grow thinner, and hundreds pass each year to their reward; so 'tis most fit ting that glorious reunions like this be held to show these veterans the reverence and honor in which they arc held by all true men and women. "You, soldiers, are the representa tives of what is so aften called a 'lost cause,' and yet that cause is not a lost one! For wherever truth and cour age, honor and patriotism are known and loved .there will the memory of those who were faithful to our beloved Southland in the times that tried men's souls be kept fresh and green, and though men may call our cause a lost one yet we trust that in His own good ti-ne. the great God of Battles, will jus tify ani avenge us, and show the just ness cf the great principles for which we fought. The history of the world can show nothing to compare with the heroism and courage of the men and women of the South. The boasted valor o: the Romans, the stern endurance of Impaired and Nerves Shattered From Excessive Men tal Strain. Dr. Miles' Nervine Gave BacK My Health. It is not always severe manual labor that breaks down the health. Mental strain, worry, anxiety, the cares of business or the home, have an equally strong tendency towards undermining the nervous system, upoa whose vitality the health of the body depends. When you find yourself unduly fretful, anxious, easily excitable; when your sleep is troubled and you can get no rest; if you have frequent headoche, are losing your appetite and are getting thin, you should be gin at once a thorough course of treatment with Dr. Miles' Nervine. There is no nerve tonic so good, so sure, so safe. It speedily restores the weakened nerves to healthy action, ana duuus sirengm anu tissue. "I was raised on a farm at hard labor, and when I left the farm and began preaching, the chanpe of occupation and excessive study shattered my nerves and impaired my memory. I began taking Dr. Miles' Restor ative Nervine, and after using two bottles I could see a decided improvement, and I con tinued until I ha I used nine bottles, when I considered myself completed cured. That was seven years ago so that I know my cure is permanent. .My health has been excellent ever since. I am glad to add my testimony to the merits of this wonderful restorative nd trust that other sufferers may receive the same benefit from its use that I have." Rev. W. L. Singleton, Duluth, Ga. AH druggists sell and guarantee first bot tle Dr. Miles' Remedies. Send for free book on Nervous and Heart Diseases. Addresi Dr. Mile Medical Co, Elkhart, Ind. MM Spartans, and the chivalry of the knights of old lose their luster when compared with the heroism and devc- jtion and self sacrifice of the men and women of the South. "It is true that every So.Uhevn sol dier was a hero that eveiy bov'taern State gave its beet and bravest and jet no State made more sacrifices or made them more willingly, than cur" dear old North State. .For one-fifth cf the Confederate army was made up of North Carolinians and more homes v, ere made desolate in this than in any other State, for cn the blood stained fields of Virginia and the West over 31-.000 of her gray clad sons were left for their last sleep, while in thousands o? homes in this State was heard the voice, of them that weep, mothers, mourning for their children and refus ing to be comforted 'because they were not! Though our State robbed the cradle and the grave and sent her boys away as soon as they could shoulder a musket, yet that no State furnished better soldiers has been conceded by all who ever saw them fight. "Gen. Longstreet, Lee's old war horse, was once asked what men made the best soldiers. lie replied that if jou walked over a field after a battle and gazed on the faces of the dead you would find more dead soldiers from North Carolina than from any other State, and not only were they the most daring in battle, but their commanding officers always found them the most obedient, most resolute and most re liable of them all. They were, " 'The knightliest of the knightly race. Who since the days of old Have kept the fires of chivalry Aslow in hearts of gold. The Confederate soldier has left to bis children a priceless heritage in the record of his brave and .faithful ser vice as a follower of the Bonnie Blue Flag, and to all those descendants of loyal Confederates it should be a high privilege to keep forever vivid the memory of their dauntless service. For, they were men whom power could not corrupt, whom death could not ter rify, whom defeat could net dishoner, and who glorified a fallen cause by the simple manhood of their lives.' "Let us who have the honor to be the children of Confederate soldiers, lead lives worthy of the children of such heroic men. Let us reverence al ways the survivors of that glorious, though defeated cause, and cherish most tenderly the memory of those who fell in battle, and guard most sa credly the stainless flag they followed on many a blood-stained field. "Oh, patriot hearts, ye are not dead, Your deeds have not, been done in vain! Ch, glorious flag! The clouds shall pass Your stars shall yet shine out again, For somewhere in the coming years Your stainless folds shall be unfurled And float again, the noblest flag Amid the nations cf the world!" In the afternoon a Camp of Sons of Veterans was organized with thirty three members. Mr. F. C. Sherrill was elected chair man of the camp to call a meeting soon to perfect the organization. At the same time? a Chapter of Daughters of j the Confederacy was organized by Miss Julia Alexander and Miss Feriba Grier The organization was formed with seventeen members, the following of ficers being elected: President Mrs. J. C. King. Vice President Mrs. F. C. Sherrill. Treasurer Mrs. O. L. Brady. Secretary Miss Norma Alexander. During the afternoon many of the Veterans drove up to Davidson College to visit the grave of General Daniel Harvey Hill, who is buried in the cem etery there.. General Julian S. Carr, of Durham, commander of the North Carolina Vet erans arrived at Cornelius in the af ternoon and addressed a large audi ence last night. His subject was the "Chivalry of the Confederate Soldiers," and his speech was a very eloquent one. Hundreds of people remained all day for the pleasure of hearing the gifted speaker. Gen. Carr was unable to be present in the morning as he delivered ac address to the Veterans of Forsyth county. Dr. Voight Will Accept. Rev. Dr. A. G. Voight, of Wilming ton, who was elected to the chair of systematic theology in the Lutheran Seminary, at Charleston, has signified bis intention of accepting. It will be recalled by News readers that the se lection of Dr. Voight for this posi tion was made by the board of trustees at a recent meeting held in St. Mark's Lutheran church in this city. Capt. II. D. Stowe, of Lodo, is in the city today. The Captain is very much interested in the question of the extension of Mecklenburg's system of good roads. NEW WAY TO TREAT HAY FEVER. No Stomach Dosing Just Breathe Hyomei Stops Sneezing and Smart ing. R. II. Jordan & Co. has recommend ed to their customers, as a cure for hay fever, Ilyoemi. It is claimed for this remedy that it stops the spasmodic paroxysms of sneezing, the smarting and running of the eyes and nose, and other acute symptoms of this disease. Many persons have been cured of hay fever by Hyomei and its mven tors profess to be able to prevent both the occurence of the annual attacks and to arrest the progress of the dis ease when in the most chronic form Among those who have been cured by Hyomei are J. F. Borbes, chief dis patcher B. & M. R. R., McCook, Neb who writes: "I have never had relief from any remedy for hay fever even temporarily until I used Hyomei. will always recommend it whenever occasion offers." A. Hamilin, Westfcrd, Mass., writes "Hyomei cured me of hay fever in one week's time. I consider it a duty to tell others who suffer from' this ' dis ease." . These endorsements are samples of hundreds that have been received by the; manufacturers of Hyomei, but their offer to refund the money if Hy omei does not do all that is claimed for it, is the strongest proof that can be offered as to the reliance they place The Great Spring Remedy.

Mr. Child's Barn Burned. mi. i , ... me oiuniDia fciate ot tins morning gives the following account of the burning of Mr. L. D. Childs' barn yes- reruay. An old negro driving a wagon re ported a disastrous fire just below Co lumbia on the plantation of Mrs. L, D. Childs. Yesterday afternoon a bolt of lightning struck the barn and within an hour, so goes the report, the big building was level with the ground and all its contents was consumed by the raging fire. In the barn besides a great lot of corn and fodder were 3,000 bales of hay. The loss is estimat ed at about $2,000. The old man said it was one of the "turriblest" things he had ever seen, as a terrific rain and wind storm was in force during the fire. The place is about six miles be low here. People Believe Roseboro Guilty. Mr. John R. Pharr returned last night from Barium Springs where he he has been recuperating for the past week or ten days. Mr. Pharr informs The News that the people of Iredell are very anxious to get hold of the negro Will Roseboro. who is in Mecklenburg jail charged with the murder of Mrs. Beaver. It is the general impression in and around Barium Springs that Roseboro is guilty of the crime charged against him and that good and sufficient evi dence will be adduced at the trial go ing to show his guilt. Mr. Pharr thinks if the Iredell peo ple could have gotten their hands on the negro, there would have been an other lynching charged up to North Carolina this vear. A Hotel For Barium Springs. Rev. A. Shorter Caldwell is erecting at Barium Snrinsrs n l.nrnyi hrvtol ing tnat he hopes fo have ready for occuDanc v in a few innthj Up to this time the accommodations at this resort have been decidedly limited. The water frow the springs at Barium has long been regarded as excellent and the only reason why the place has not been full of visitors is on. account of the very limited accom modations at the Springs. . Mr. Caldwell's hotel will be modern and will supply a long felt want. The Annual Picnic. The annual picnic of the societies of Steele Creek church will be held Fri day, August 14, on the church grounds. Mr. F. R. McNinch will deliver an ad dress on education. Rev. George At kinson was booked for an address on the same subject but he telegraphs to day that he will be unable to attend. This annual picnic is always well at tended and this year special efforts will be made to gather together a larg er crowd, if possible, than on any pre vious occasion. Those who attend are expected to bring well filled baskets as there will be a picnic dinner. Funeral of a Child.
