' w sit UNDER BEDS OP ROSES. The Heroes of the Oray Are Fondly Remembered Yet. Who, in this fair southland, the fairest of all fair lands, is so dead to patriotic impulses that he cannot sin cerely applaud the motives and the ef forts of the "Daughters of the Confed eracy" in perpetuating the memory and honoring the names of the thou sands of heroes of the lost cause who sleep beneath the sod? All honor and all praise to the true women of Greens boro who hare re-established the mem orial day celebration. In pursuance of a monument started by them, on yesterday afternoon a fitting service was held in Greene Hill cemetery. Despite the unfavorable weather a largo number of people turned out and through a mist of rain joined in a long procession to the "city of the dead," where numbers of the brave men who f. llowed the fortunes of war are sleep ing in tents of earth awaiting the last long roll and bugle call. Gathered around the speaker's stand with uncovered heads the large assemblage stood and listened to a fervent invocation of divine blessing by Rev. L. W. Crawford, after which the band played " a dirge while fair young ladies decorated the graves with beautiful wreaths and bouquets of flowers. Next on the program was the recitation of a poem by Mrs. S. L. Alderman, written by Mrs. Hendley. Then a vocal quartette, ''Tenting on the Old Camp Ground" by Messrs. Richard Crawford, Dr. J. H. Wheeler, S. L. and A. H. Alderman. The speaker of the day, Hon. E. W. Pou, of Smithfield, was introduced by Mayor Taylor in a short speech abounding in beautiful sentiment and choice language. Mr. Pou showed .why it was right to continue these cel ebrations in memory of our beloved dead. The speech throughout was a gem, though its full enjoyment was impaired by the weather conditions rain falling- during most of its deliv ery. Many sentiments uttered by the eloquent orator were reverently ap plauded. After the speaking "The Old North State"waa sung and prayer and benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. D. Miller. Again, we desire to commend Guil ford Chapter, Daughters of the Con federacy, for reviving the custom of celebrating memorial day. It was en tered into yesterday with earnestness and a sincere spirit of patriotism. It was a pretty sight the long proces sion of carriages and young ladies and gentlemen on horseback. May we see each recurring 10th of May cel ebrated in a fitting manner, and while we do this let us all remember that a few flowers strewn in the pathway of the veterans who still live, ( and who are no less heroes than those who laid down their lives) will brighten and cheer and comfort them as they de scend the slope of eventide and pass beyond the Bunset of this life. A Card From the Daughters. Mr. Editor: Through the columns of your paper the Gui'ford Chapter of the Daujrhiers of tho ConT.dera.cy wish to tender their sincere t- .n'ca to the followirg parties for the'ir ready and efficient help in carryirg out the .de tails of the celebration of cur memo rial day : To the mayor for his beautiful and ornate speech of introduction to the speaker, and attention to same. To the ministers for their fervent and appropriate prayers To the band for their patriotic music and beautiful quartette. To the young men who served as marshals and the president wishes especially to thank Mr. McAdoo, a son of the Confederacy, for his hard work of two days. So perfectly was everything, arranged that there was not a hitch in any way. To the liverymen for the use of the handsomest turn-outs in their stables. To the fire companies for their handsome addition to the procession. To Prof. Grimsley for his hearty co operation in having the graded schools out. To all who stripped their yards bare of flowers to do honor to a holy cause ; and to Mr. Lindley for an exquisite floral tribute. To the young ladies, most of them Daughters, who added so much grace and beauty to the occasion; and to the merchants who closed their stores. To both newspapers for so kindly publishing our various notices. We are fully alive to the fact that without these ready hearts and hands to help, there could have been no celebration yesterday in memory of our fallen heroes. We the Guilford Daughters of the Confederacy, have to Bay to these kind friends, that we hold ourselves in readiness to serve them whenever occasion offers. We were glad to see so many of the ex-confederates out. The Daughters of the Confederacy have one sole object in view to per petuate the memory of "The Lost Cause" that they represent, v A large variety of Ladies' Neck wear, all the very latest styles Silk, Pique and Madras, just received. 25c, 50c, 75c.

WINSTON-SALEM POSTOFFICE Tbe Matter Has finally Been Ami cably Settled. RALEIGH'S FEDERAL PRISONERS. Have Sent In a Complaint of 111 Treat ment to the Washington De partment of Justice. Special to Ths Telegram. Washington, D. C, May 11 The Postmaster General has finally settled the controversy between the postoffices at Winston and Salem, North Caroli na. Although at first there was great opposition to the discontinuance of the postoffice at Salem by the residents of that town, the 'matter was brought to a focus, as announced some time ago, and a reconciliation between the two towns was affected. By the settlement of the difficulty, the name adopted for the new postoffice will hereafter be known as "Winston-Salem," which has long been virtually the name of the city. The order of the Postmaster General consolidating the two post offices will go into effect on Julylst, or at the beginning of the next fiscal year. This postoffice will be the only one with a hyphenated name in the country. When the matter of the consolida tion of the two towns into one post office was first broached, there was in tense opposition from the people of Salem, who have for many years been gradually losing their identity as a separate town, while Winston, on the other hand has been steadily forging ahead, as the town itself. Salem peo ple did not wish to completely lose the identity which they have enjoyed, in fact longer than Winston, which is a town comparatively new. By the use of the hypenated name, Salem will still retain its ancient identity. The postoffice at Salem will, of course, be abolished, but a sub-station will be established. The postmaster at Win ston will be commissioned as post master of the consolidated office, and it is said at the postoffice department that the present incumbent of the post office at Salem will be placed in charge of the Salem sub-station, or else of fered a clerkship in the main post office. Members of the District of Columbia Post, Confederate Veterans are much interested in the efforts which are to be made during the Charleston reunion, to raise a' fund for the purpose of re building the home of General Wade Hampton. The general from his long residence in Washington city is per sonally known to nearly every one of the members of the local Confederate organization, and they are anxious to do their part towards subscribing to the fund. A member of the local camp stated Wednesday that he thought that the district members would take a hearty part in this work. The delegates who went to Charles ton to attend the reunion from this city and Alexandria are expected to return on Saturday. They will come back home on the same special trains which carried them to Charleston. On account of the numerous com plaints which have been received at the department of justice from the fed eral prisoners confined at the Raleigh penitentiary, the attorney general has decided to send a special examiner to Raleigh, to investigate into the grounds for the charges. While the complaints have been very numerous, it is said at the department of justice that the charges of cruel treatment of the federal prisoners is absolutely de nied by the authoritiesof the peniten tiary. Similar complaints have also been received from federal prisoners in Ohio, and other penitentiaries. A number of Southern people, par ticularly from North Carolina, have passed through Washington since Monday, enroute for New York to at tend the triennial meeting of the socie ty of Cincinnatti. This organization was started May 13th, 1783, at Fish Kill, New York, by General Washing ton and others, the first meeting being held at that place. The society dis banded in most of the states, soon af ter its organization, but it has been revived. At the present triennial con vention, delegates are expected to at tend from Vermont, New Hampshire and Georgia. The sooiety was revived in 1896, and now exists in all of the thirteen original states, and also in France. At the Postal Telegraph Company's office in this city, it is seated that the company will shortly extend its lines in several of the southern states, in cluding South Carolina, and Georgia. This has been contemplated for some time, and the management hopes to begin work within a short time. Senator Martin, some time ago made application for the pardon, as an nounoedi of Thomas W. Lacey, post office clerk at Richmond, charged with robbing the mails. Senator Martin and Col. Lamb, congressman from the Richmond district are both convinced of Lacey' s entire innocence. He is confined at the North Carolina peni tentiary, and the superintendent of the genjtjqntiary in an endorsement ol the, application for pardon says that he does not believe Laceyjguilty, and that every action on his part goes to prove that he is an innocent man. President McKinley has promised to consider the matter, -but it is not thought he will reach a determination before his re turn from Hot Springs. The matter is now before the department of jus tice. Dr. R. N. Harper, president of the Virginia democratic' association, is among the delegates to the Richmond conference, representing Loudoun county. NEW ENGINE HAS COflE. j Furnace Now Turning Out Number i Foundry Iron. The new one thousand horse power engine for the Empire Steel and Iron furnace has arrived and it is a mon ster.

A gentleman of South Greensboro awoke this morning about 3:30 o'clock and thought the whole city was on fire.
