Captain Hobflon's "memorial speech made at Detroit on Mav thft SOth. which he advocated one Decoration Day for both the Federal and Confederate dead, has provoked a great deal of favorable comment from the cosmopolitan news papers North and South. The speech is full of patriotic sentiments and the young -hero of the Merrimac showed his courage in a remarkable degree by the suggestion that the Northern ora tors should go. South and Southern ora tors North to praise the bravery cf both armies ol the. Uivii war. Another courageous th'ng on the partof Captain Ilobson was the view he took of slavery m his Detroit speech. A great many old veterans shook him by the hand after the Bpeech was finished and told him that his views of the slavery ques tion' were entirely new to them and that they cordially endorsed them from the beginning to the end. Captain Ilobson was introduced by the oldest veteran of the late war in Michigan, an officer of the G. A. R In doing so this veteran remarked that as an American he was as proud of the bravery of Lee, Johnson and Jackson as he was of that of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. At the close of the speech Captain Hobson was given an ovation by the people of Detroit . A n immense crowd assem bled to hear him speak.- Of, eonrse he acquitted himself with jcredit a his section. He will spend the summer on duty, at the Tan-American exposition. Western North Carolina Soldiers in Demand Keernltlnfc Station at ' '. KlDrphj. . ' Knoxville, Tenn., June 13. Capt. C.

H and Owner, BILL 1HM LKTTEK. Labor and Capita'.. When will the long protracted struggle oeane. . Away btck in hiatory there wae war that lasted thirty year, but thU war haa, lasted longer than that and toemi to grow more bitter as the years ro'I on. In the good oM limes it did not affect the south, but like a petilence it spread and there aeems to be no remedy.; All of the women most all of the men, outride of the capitalist have here tofore sympathized with the Unlem in their demands for less work and better pay . They have bi Uerly denou no&d the heartless managers who would wear out the life of a child before it gejs grown who would keep them caged, in factories frofn early morn till lamp light, with not an hour for recreation. No May day, no play day, ' no ball game, nor marbles, nor fishing, nor frolic of any kind for the boya; no hunting wild flowers or blackberries for the girls, no youthful pleasures, no recess, no Saturday; but from year to year it's . - Woric wort work. la. the duli Uecernber light. And Work work -work, when the wettber is warm and bright." I low sad it is to see them toil as if in a treadmill, and to hear them sigh as they glance from the windows of their daily prison, and with longing eyes, whisper - - .".." . . . -"Oh! but to breath the breath of the woods and flowers sweet. With the 8kv ft!ove my h3ad and the grass beneath my feet." And this is' sad, pathetic, and but for heartless legislation and legislators, would have long since. been remeied. It is the good side of human nature that arouses sympathy for the joorj and Leigh Hunt never wrote a sweeter hue tnan that of Abou Ben Adhem's plea for ontrance into Paradise: Write me as one who loves his fallow man.'' In ruminating about the wants of the poor 1 have often thought that the i l.a.m - greatest want and ine nest lxx)n to &i toiler was a home. Home one of the sweetest words in any language. Its best definition is in the heart, for lan guage fails to express it. Indeed there are some languages that have no word for it no synon3'm. The French has none and sulstitutes only an abode ,or dwelling place. The best definition is found in the old Sanskrit, th sacred dialect of the Hindoos and Peisir.ns. The word is Ksbema and mpans a permanent place of rest and security. Y oujd th-U all the poor, all the toilers, all the women and ch'ldren in the land ad thai a permanent abodt a place of rest and securitiiy. No landlord to call for rents no expiring lease, no uncertain title; but a home where the good wife can plant her own vines and adorn her own yard ith flowers and feel '.hat they are hers and her cbil-, dren's. Why didn't .Mr. Carnegie- think of this and give homes to the poor, instead of books. j?iuy minions of dollars vould have given comfortable homes to one hundred thousand poor families and given a peruianent place of rest and security to at least half a million of the toilers. The time was when a Methodist preacher was not entitled to a home no more than a Etonian Catholic priest was to a wife. He must abide for a year in any house thai was cheap and vacant. : He must be the exemplar of hunnhtv and un selfishness, for they said that the Savior was born in a manger and his softest bed was hay. But there is some more scripture that demands the nest of everything for the priesthood, and that says: "Touch not My anomted, and do My prophets no harm." A beUer civilization now provide a good com fortable parsonage in almost every town and village a.id I am glad of it not so much for sympathy for the -preacher, but for his good, long suffering and patient wife and her growing children. Woman loves her home and loves to adorn it with fruits and flowers. When the Methodists get strong enough to build a parsonage they should not stop at the finishing of the house, but have permanent committee of ladies to plant vines ana roses and make gravel walks, and establise a garden with such things that do not mss away and perish with the year. Plant fm;t trees, mahe an asparagus bed and don't forget the strawberries and raspberries, and -here and there plant some of the old time garden herbs, such as sage and balm and parsley and calamus for a sweet breath and mint for the children's colic Fix the place up for a home and when the good wife leaves it, of cou'-se, . tne will leave it clean and leave it with : re gret, and her successor will be happv and talk about her to the neighbors. If I was a bishop I would allude to this at the general conference, and law mnch stress on what John Wesley said, that Cleanliness waa next to Godliness. That is not in the Bible, but mi-rht have been and done noharni. Yes, the kind hearted people have generally been sympathizing with the strikers, but the case at Daylon, O., has discouraged them. We see that Mr. Patterson died suddenly this week. He was onlv sixty-nine yerrs old and the opinion is tliat his gv'.ef end morti fication over the -eat strike eaused his death. A nobler rich man never lived or died. 1 He was the president of the National Cash Register Company, that employed 2300 men and women. For seven years he has sought to make bis extension works a model for e;l the manufacturers of the world and workman's paradise. 0 From time 10 time he has reduced-the hours of wo.k and increased the compensation. The cottages for his people were models !,fp. comfort good gardens, nice flowers a skilled man sent free to show them how to plant and grow flowers, a f ee library of well selected book's, liopitals for the sick, good nurses, good beds all free and no lost time charged ag? inst them; bath rooms with hot and cold water and time given to bathe; clean towels and soap. : For the women and bathrooms and brushes and combs and even curling tongs provided; sofas and cots to recline on and books to read Every thine - was made as m,uch like home as a lovirg ' mother would have provided.' Half of every Saturday .was theirs. M?. Patterson was happy,; He believed he had solved the problem of capital and labor. But about three Concord, N. c, Thursday. JUNE 20; year ago a Labor onion waa formed and its committee began to hunt up devilment. Not long ago they dis covered that the 2,000 towel that were furnished . the lthroom fr were washed every week by some poor wo man who did cot belong to the nnio.i, and they demanded of Mr. Patter eon that he have his washing done by union folks. He refused and the com mittee ordered a strike. Then he de clared that his men were not charged for the baths nor the towels nor the soap, and he would stop the hohs bus iness, which be did. Next they ordered the discharge of his superintendent be cause he was not a union man. This was refused and they struck again. They also ordered that two union men who had been discharged for bad work should be restored. They restored them and itid them reguarly . f 15 a week for each, but gave them no work, saying that they were not competent, I Hit he would pay them. And so they hunted around forother things and finally or dered a big strike, and it has been on for weeks and no settlement. Up to date the loss to workmen in wages amounts to $120,000 and all these iioor families are in distress and would go back if the union committee would let them. It was at Dayton where a few months ago the union crowd pursued some non-union men and knocked them down and hammered their fingers to a jelly with stones, so that they could not. work any more,. ; Mr. Pat terson's works have been visited by progressive men from all countries, who wanted to how he mannaged that great business without any dash between his capital and their labor, and now they say, "I told you so. I knew it would not hist!" ; It made me right sick to read about it, for it is much worse than I have told it. Is our sympathy for the poor all wasted ? No no! It is those con temptible leaders who got on the com mittee and wanted to make a big fus out of nothing: With the great com bination trusts on one side and the union strikers on the other side, we, the unproductive middle class, who make ' our. living by our wits, ere in a bad fix. - But thank the.good Lord we still have meat and bread and straw berries at our house. .Bill Abp. Villi SOCIETY WOMEN. Stateavllle Laudmaik. - Prof. Scot Clark, of the Northwest ern University, Chicago, hasn't a very elevated opinion of the society woman. Spaaking to a class in English ; litera-. ture a few days ago he said the merits of the present day women in no way eiua! those of women in the days i of our mothers ;: and grandmothers. This statement will probably be disputed. Turning specifically to the society girl. rof. Clark said; ; 4The society girl is a parasite. She lives oh her fathert and in return she gives him nothing. She is of no ben efit to the world, and Lhere is no need of our keeping such a weight with us. Continuing, he told of the faihures which society women .make as man agers of a household, and said they were unable to fill the dom.estic requir ements to make the home an abode of comfort. They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomen in all his glory was not ar rayed like one of these , said the prof essor. "And the young man who seeks a society girl for a wife is on the wrong track. May God help him who marries one of them, for he is placing a mill stone around his neck. It is a little dangerous to say so, but all candid people are com wiled to ad mit that the professor is tel'ing the truth. In these modern days there is a straining after effect and show among women. Mothers and fathers permit their girls, if they do not really encour age them, to become parasitesutter lv worthless so lar as any practical ac complishments are concerned. They know a little of music and art and nave a smattering of education sufficient to pass them in the society in which it is th?ir sole ambition and sometimes their parents' solo ambition to shine In order to shine it is frequently the case that they drive their parents into debt, adding burden : upon burden to their already overburdened lives in or der that they may keep pace with the fads and frivolities of the hour. What are such people worth, any way? They are absolutely, good for nothing. v hen they become wives nuserV for both themselves and the man they marry can but result. They know nothing of the practical affairs of life and genera ly don t want to know. ? It is passing strange that these things, which sensible people know ta be true, are noi only permmitted but actually encouraged. False pride and over-indulgence on the part of p.i-ents results in misery for both parents and children. But so it is and so it will be uhti! the end of the chapter; Gatber Cat Tails.

Krery OHinty in North Carolina U in uwpeose to know the (juuxmim of an app!ieuka, now ia the bands of Gov ernor Charles B. Ayeock tA that 8tate for the pardo-4 ol WaighUtifl Avery Anderson, who 16 years ago was con victed of murder and senUncrd to be hanged, and since then ha been fugitive from the jrrasp of the law. It is UiiOM4 that the fedl admin istration will ' exert an influence in Anderson's behalf, for though branded as a inurderer he haa since showed himself to he a valuable ritisen, hsring, during many occasions, been entrunte-l with officers of great resjnibilily. The deed of which Anderson is charg ed is the killing of a man named Ed ilorton, near Asheville, N. C,, during a quarrel over a mine. That Anderson committed the deed is a fact, he having confessed to that effect, hut accord :ng to his story it was done in self defense. Th trouble arowe in 1884 front a vi olent dispute beteen Edward Hay, a brother-in-htw of Andewon's, and a nun named 11a iley, over their Kttict ive claimes tj a valual4j mica mine in Mitchell county. B tiley and his friends were in pociioa. Kay. Utterly set againntyu'ldi ig, attemted to smoke the Bailey men out of the mine. ; - Unsueciussful in thi, he next apeal- ed to his brother-in-law, Anderson, then a young man of 25, a de'aily otJ 1 cter of internal revenue and irreailv ureatieo uy tue mjonsiiiners. it was lecided to force the iuc in tterson and the young men started for .-tin mine, armed. The Bailey men, who awaited them at the entrance to the mne, were sim- any equipped. A desnerate scuffle followed during which Ray and his eoiiioaUint, O'lion M-lier, Ml down a siiaf). Altai bo:iom. with reuewel e tieity, Ray attacked Jiis opponent arid in'iive niinnutes Miller wast dead. Memwhile Andenon had been attacked at the top of the mine by one of Bailey clan, Ed Horton. Their encounter was brief, unseen. All that is known of it is that Horlon was killed. Knowing that th-'y would suffer emmeiliate explatio.i at. the bauds of the enraged men in the mine, if caught, the two lingered not aa inxUnt but made gxd thir escape. They kpt thiinlvs hidden until t'ue matter quieved down, and tiiaa. returned and gave themselves up, on the ground hat t lie deeds were corn mi tied in self defanie. They were 'ind cated ; for murder and tried in a hosiile county, where public feeling'sH against them. lhe jury brought iu a verdict of mur der in the first desree in Anderson's case, and of manslaughter in Ray's. The sentences were hanging and 20 years imprisonment respectively. The friends of Ray and Andcson at once began to plan to free them. Ac cordingly a stormy night," just ar htrt time before Anderson was to be hanged, a band 500 strong . surrounded the jai at AssheviUe, where the men were corl- finel. The unusp;eting jailer was sei.ed aiid tied iaini.gagged. Five minutes !aUr the SOU rescue, s left tne city without having tired a single shot. , Since thai nigut none but Andei-son's wife and a few friends has known his wherabouts. On leaving North Carolina he assumed a new name, under wh'ch he has worked all these years. In the struggles of the family which Anderson left he ir nd to keep a'ave, they have been aided by Anderson's friends, and though the influence of Senator Pritch ard Mrs. Anderson was appointed post mistress at Bakersville, and has thus been enable to keep her three children. Meanwmle Andeison has become high sheriff of the couqiy in which he lives, in a State not far froin the Rock ies. For a good part of the time he has also been in the Secret Service of the Uuited States, b:11 under his assu med name. Wnen 120,000,000 of gold coin inkegs was taken from San Fran cisco, Cal., to Washington, D. C, An derson was captain of the 20 men who so faithfully guarded it. During the Spanish-American war,, when the Y bile House was more earefully guar ded than before, Anderson could have again been seen. Also at Chicago when President McKinley was there at the . laying of the ; cornerstone the - new. Tost Office building An derson was in evidence. A'l during tne inauguration day Anderson was the one seen nearest the President. As far ' Edward Ray, he was . long thought to be dead. His w:e secured a divorce' and married the young at tor ney, who is now Senator Pitcbard. It has recently been learned, however, that Ray is living in the City of Mex ico. having amassed a fortune in niuing. Ulelbodiat fJnlve rally tered. la China Chr- Nashviuj:, Tenn.', June 13.

His ueer Uncle Sam face was the color of tallow, arid a dirty .towel tied around his temples completed as ghastly a pic ture as I ever laid eyes oh. "It was evident to me at a glance that the man was dead, probably from some kind ol a nt, and 1 rapid (y re volved the situation in my mind.

He was the most active corjwe in seventeen States. "What caused his g"ewsome trance in the night, did you ask? Asthma simply asthma. Before I left he ex plained the whole think to me. 'I sm a confirmed asthmatic,' he said, 'and I haven't s!ept lying down for twenty years.

Winston, Raleigh, N. C, War Claims of States. Mr. Rittman, auditor for the War Department, has prepared table of the claims filed by the various states for the fitting out of volunteer ; troops during the Spanish war, the amounts allowed and paid on the claims, and the balance claimed by the state to be due The table shows that almost as much money is alleged to be due as has been paid. The balances yet claimed are be ing investigated, and will be settled as fast as adjudicated. Texas is the only state that has been settled with in full and that has no ; balance claimed Texas bi'J was a most modest one anyhow. North Carolina claimed $29,817, and has been allowed and paid $20,610, leaving a balance of $9,207 still - due, Virginia claimed $1,161. and has been paid nothing. The total elaims filed by a'l the states aggregated $5,870,000, and $3,330,000 has been paid. Gall at M, L, Marsh's dm? store and get a free sample of Chamber' ain's Stomach and liver Tablets.

It is even tired of the bad grammar of Sam Jones. : The pufpiu are filled with numbers of men called to be lecturers. They use their tailpiU soundingboards to send ! their wise sayings to the ends of the earth. They are eternally meddling in politics, or playing leap-frog in the guise of the refawner. How long, oh Lord, must these men cut their capers on Sunday mornings: ben will these great churches be led by real shepherds? Shepherds who feed the flock, rather than fleece them? We are grateful that there are only a few1 of theae religious ranters, but, like three frogs in a pond, they make you think 'they are a million. All through the land there are thousands of noble men of God who still break the bread of life to the people, not the rotten husks of their own opinions. But these reflec tions came to us from reading a very racy article which we found in the Washington Post of Monday, by Rev. William llenry Sharon, a Roman Catholic priest. He says that "the Sunday sermon in many churches needs to be uirn again of the Spirit of the Goscl; that the devil of sensation alism should be exercised from every protestant pulpit; that the Gospel of esus Christ is, what every devout Chris tian expects to hear in church, not tlie latest political, social, or literary fad; the uosiiei alone as ireacheu by a Moody or a 8iwrgeon--the Word of God unaccompaied by any pyrotechnics is the highest ideal for any Christian preacher, and is sufficiently attractive for all who are Christians in fact as well as .in name." The brother is everlastingly right if he a is Catholic. OU As,sa on Rallrada. ' According to the Chicaeo Tritaine, the discovery of oil .wells in California and Texas will have a beneficial in fluence on the rail-road induftry in tlie whole south western portion of the United States. Says the Tribune: r "wnce Uie beginning of rJUl, no coal has been used as fuel on the Atchison line in California. Now the same company is equipiiing the engines on its Texas fines for the purpuae of using the oil from tlie Beaumont wells Tlie oil necessary to do the work of a ton of coal costs about $1 leas than the coal, and tlie cost of installing-oil burners on the looometives is only about $250. It is estimated that the substitution of oil on a single Texas branch of the Atchison system will cause an annual saving of $180,000. The Atchison is so situated that its coal costs only $1.68 a ton, while tlie Southern Pacific must pay $4.03 a ton because of tlie scarcity of coal west of the Rockies. To the latter road the use of oil will be better than the discovery of a gold mine, for it U estimated that if aiJptiod to tlie whole system it would mean a yearly saving Of ne arly $5,000,- 000, or enough to pay an , annual dividend of 5 per cent, on a capital of $100,000,000. Such a lowering of railroad expenditures cannot fail ultimately to bring about cheaper freight rates. ; , n:cc:ovrdiiYTi:3 C&TAtUtttCO IN tt?. e Ifytni bn ftftjrtkiej: to nrH, let the pcof4 know It DR.
