Unpleasantness
The business of the Confederate
Reunion was finished Friday and
there was a general pulling cut for
home Friday evening and night.
At a meeting of the North Goro
liniana at their headquarters. Col,
Julian S Carr was elected byunanU
mous vote as Major General of the
N. 0. Division. Gen, Derosett,
who was accredited with great effioi"
ency in working up the organization
in the State to its present proportions
had announced at the proper time
his. desire; to be relieved of the care
of the office. .
, Col . Carr being escorted into the
hall accepted the honor in a grace
ful little. speech in which be ex
pressed much pleasure in receiving
the honor. :
The brigadier generals, of whom
there are four in the Sate, are aa
follows :
First Brigade, J G Hall. v
Second Brigade, W L Lundon .
Third Brigade, F M Barker.
Fourth Brigade, J M Ray.
Someone recognized the Hon. R T
Bennett and called for a speech from
him. r He responded in hia graceful
way mixed characteristically with
sarcasm for some things be did not
like. His speech was roundly cheer
ed. The lady sponsors were then,
at their own- request, greeted indi
Tidnally by the North Carolina vet
erans, when all proceeded to join
the general- body In the auditorium
at 11 o'clock. Here the body was
rather unwieldy, it was difficult to
hear and there were persistent efs
forts to make elcqaent speeches that
the body was in no mood to hear.
The committed on resolutions re
ported a substitute for one presented
previously by Gn. Stephen D Lee
relative to the care of Confederate
graves by the Federal Government .
This was the tender point and- ft
seemed that President McKinley's'
words at Atlanta were about to be a
rock on which the old Confederate
ship which had been sailing fo
smoothly would be torn and crip
pled. The committee recommended
the following for adoption, which
carried by a respectable majority
after a stormy discussion :
"Your committee to. whom was
referred the resolution introduced by
General 8 D Lee, beg to. report the
following with the recommendation
that the same be adopted : 'The
United Confederate Veterans in this
annual reunion assembled desire to
place upon record their sincere ap
preciation of the utterances of the
President of the TTnited States m
Atlanta, in December, last, concern
icg the assumption of the care of
the graves of our Confederate dead,
the national government. We
appreciate every kmdley sentiment
pressed and we shall welcome any"
legislation which shall result in the
-care of the graves of our comrades
in Northern States by our govern
nient.
" 'In regard to our dead, whose
remains are resting in the States
Hich were represented in the Con
federacy, and Maryland, the care of
their final resting , places is a sacred
trust,, dear to the hearts of Southern
woman, and we believe that we can
8afely let it so remain.' " .

The other accident, which was
enly slight, was a case ot a freight
train striking a wagon, breaking
the hind axle. The driver, a boy,
seemsHo haye been to blame on
account of pulling his mule to
one side. While this is only a
slight accident, it is one of those
things which calls for carefulness
on jthe part of people going over
the railroad crossing when cars
are in motion about on the yard.
