PEACE AT HAND
Protocol Agreed Upon and
Referred to Spain.
Ambassador Cambon Sleets the Sitna
tfon A. Treaty Commission to be
Formed to Arrange tlie Minutiae.,-
The peace prospects have taken
on a brighter appearance. There is
cow little doubt that the war is
practically oyer. It seems very much
like Spain had made some condi
tions not acceptable to the President
but had prepared for the situation
by authorizing the French Ambas
sador to eliminate them if necessary.
A protocol or draft of peace terms
was agreed upon by Secretary Day
and "Ambassador Cambon Wednes
day and if sanctioned by Spain it
will end hostilities. It was a long
step toward 'peace and if it be duly
signed the treaty commission will
arrange details. 1
It is understood that the protocol
will provide for immediate cessation
of hostilities.
Mr. Weir Somewhat Better.
Mr. H M Weir, a former resident
of Concord, is visiting his friend,
Mr. R L Tony, on Belle Avenue.
Mr. Weir, it will be remembered,
was promoted to traveling agent for
the Singer machine company. Since
that time he was taken sick with
malarial fever at Hickory. As soon
as able he was pot in the St. Peterb
hospital by his fraternity, Knights
of Pythias, until able to go about
again. He is now recuperating. V
His Hopes Were Blighted.
It is bad when a young man goes
courting for a good long time, then
succeeds in getting the consent of
his girl to marry him, sets his wed
ding day, makes all arrangements
for his change of life, and then is re
fused license when he goes to the
office of the Register of Deeds. This
was the case with a young man who
called today (Thursday) at the
Register's office. He told Mr. Wed
dington that he was 23 years of
age, but a note from the young
man's father which had just been
received a few minutes beforehand,
stated that he was not yet 21 years
of age. The young mp dropped
his head and dppatled. f This is one
of those troubles in a. young man's
life.
Off to Wilmington.
v.-
About fifty tickets were sold this
(Thursday) morning for the excur
sion to Wilmington, which was run
parties from Lexington, China
Rrove and Salisbury, At the ap
pointed hour-7 o'clock the train
Palled out for Wilmington to give
the excursionists a good time. A
good crowd also got on at the differ
ent places along the road .':

THE REUNION
Of Company H of the Nevenlh Aorta
Carolina Regiment Held at Itoclty
Rlrer on Wednesday, August 10th.
From parties present we learn that
a large crowd from that part of the
county and also from Mecklenburg
county attended the big reunion of
Company H, Seventh North Caro
lina regiment. Not a more beauth
ful place for noldiDg a reunion
could be found than in that large
grove at the Rocky River church.
Attorney Morrison Caldwell, of
this placp, delivered the first address,
which was entitled 'The True
South." We hear many compli
ments on Mr. Caldwell's address and
at it contained some valuable data.
Addressas were also made by Hon.
hum j k. v xj n. ica a u tier,
of Charlotte.
An election of officers was held
resulting in Capfc. JMW Alexan
der, of Kocky Riyer, being elected
Commander and Mr. D Henry
White, of No. 1 township, s Adjus
tant.
An effort will probably be made
to perfect a hiitory of the company,
quite a lot of the data having already
been obtained by Mj . Harris, of
Charlotte, who was at one time their
captained but who was afterwards
promoted.
Call Declined.
Tne Salisbury Sun says : Rev. C
A Brown has declined to accept the
call extended him by the 8t. An
drcws pastorate, Concord, N. C , ans
nounced in the Sun of July 25rh
ultimo, for the reason that, after
having submitted the matter to his
people together with several condi
tions imposed which they at once
accepted, and, almost unanimously,
declined to accept his resignation.
Plans Perfected For the Monument.
Fx om the Raleigh correspondence
to the Char otte Observer we see

Association has been organized with
Mayor William M Russ president, T
B Eldridge secretary, Dr. D E Ev-j
erett treasurer. The monument!
fund is now neanng $2,500. It is !
'he plan of the association that the
monument shall be a bronze statue a
little larger than life, upon a base
of North Carolina granite, all to be
surrounded by a bronze railing, the
site to be in the northeast corner of
the capitol square. Application to
the legislature for permission to
place the monument will be made.
Oesigns for the base end the statue
will be invited. Red granite is
highly thought of as the material
for the base.
