For the benefit of the juk1 old 4 dient Im couldn't p to the !teunin al Aheville, we print the following wvoimt of the day, Lat Wrduetidar, written by Mr. J. 0. McNeil for the Charlotte Observer: This ha been, indeed, a day of big doings. In accord mice with the gen eral order issued vesterday, Home tlMinsands of old aoidiera bad gath errd on the court house (Kinare. the approaches to which were spanned by arches gaily bedecked in red and lute. The speaker' stand was near the street and the crowd bd about it and between it and the court horn Preacher A. I). Belt, who looks like the pictures of rncle Joe Can non, otiened the entertainment by raising a song, ilis comrades joined in with their bmken voices. After the song, and while the gencralissi nios were priming, Mr. lletts kept the crowd with mother talk and sweetheart diversion, they cryit8 bcaulifullv. until (ten. J. S. ( arr an notinced from the balcony that all delegates would rvKrt in the court nxmi for a business session. Inside the court house the people were rocked, almost all veterans and sjisors. The reporter inquired of Maj. Hen. J. il. Kay w hat are the duties of a sponsor. lo bow anil smile," said he, "and look pretty." While the business meeting pro ceeded, Capt. Jack Keinhardt was deputized hi keep the ieople outside amused, and, from the lifeing. drum ming, hollering and bursts of laugh ter tint there, he must have succeed ed wen. Chaplain U. C. V., On. J. William Jones, after Uing sent after several times, finally came in and opened the exercises with prayer. He is a short, corpulent man, with a little growth of snowy whiskers on his chin. When sjieaking he constantly shakes his head, which causes the loose skin under his throat to Hap like a dewlap. He prayed five minutes, closing in these words: "tiod bless the Presi dent of the I'nib'd States and make him to lx the President of every sec tion and every party." (ien. J. V (arr, in railing the house to order, made some remarks appropriate to the occasion. He said the business before the house was to elect ollicers. He believes, he said, in rotation in ollice, and ho asked the reunion to let him lay down his corn mission ami elect some one in his place, lie called over the names of distinguished visitors, mentioned elsewhere herein, each of which re ceived hearty applause. lie called to the stand Col. John ?v Dvrd of Charleston, 8. C, who raised the first Confederate Hag on Kort Sumter. He is gray-haired, ruddy faced, slender, erect. Mai. 11. A. 1-oudou spoke of the poor organization of the North Canv ma veterans, and was followed on the same subject by (ien. Mickle, adjutant general I'. 0. V, (ien. . r. Koberts nominated (ien. Carr for commander-in-chief, and he was re-elected by acclamation. P. ( . Carlton was elected brigadier f the First lJrigado; W. L. Iaindon, Second Brigade. Some one nominated J. J. Welling ton of New bern for brigadier of the Third Hrigade, but it didn't take at all. When Capt. Metis was also nom inated, there were loud cries, "Metis, Metis!" Woolington thereupon with drew his name. J. M. Kay was chosen brigadier of the Fourth Brigade. About this time the drumming and fife-blowing outside was fast and furious. The goodly sound of laugh ter came in at the windows. Jack Keinhardt was looking after his part of the program. Some one made a motion to cut out ('amp 300 on account of its being a Republican camp, but no attention was paid to it. It remained for Col. Louis Uim of Charlotte to spring the sensation. He Umk the stand and presented the following resolution: "Whereas, We have heard for the last ten years of the Grand Army of the Kepublic proposing resolutions looking to a grand reunion of the bluo and the gray, and we also know that these resolutions are always tabled; and as we, the Confederate veterans of North Carolina, in grand reunion at Asheville assembled, think that some of the blue or some of the gray may think these resolu lions are our sentiments; therefore, be it "liesolved, That we, the Confeder ate veterans of North Carolina, want it understood that we, as a body rep resenting the Confederate veterans Deafness Cannot be Cured by local application, aa they cannot reach the diseased portion of th ear.

Hold by druggurta, ?5& Hall i family pills ara the best of North Carolina, are not in favor of such reunion. Col. Lroa moved to adopt this reso lution. A great many veterans were on their feet, but Capt. Hilly Mclaunn of laurinburg got the floor, opposed the resolution ou the ground tb.it the action of the national reunion should be sufficient, moved lo table, and re ceived applause. Capt Billy looked up-to-date in his gray uniform, and he was popular. Everybody was on his feet All sorts of motions were made. Col. Ien said that (ien. Ice had apMiinted a coiuaiitlee to confer w ith the (S. A. K. with a view to a reunion of the blue and gray. Gen. Stephen l. liee, commander of the V. C. V., was himself present, and ne here to interrupt, "They asked me to appoint such a commit tee, but I absolutely refused to do it!" This called forth great applause. Col. 1-eon read from some paper the item which had impressed him: and (en. U followed him with a brief explanation. Here Capt Mctaurin renewed his motion to table. Mai. Ixitulon, with his usual equilibrium, suggested that the resolution be withdrawn There were so many indications of approval that Col. lion acted upon the suggestion. Gen. W. I. Iaindon introduced a resolution thanking the railroads Asheville, and Master of Ceremonies ltav for coiirti -lies. Now turn me to the resumption of activities in the on n air. ( apt Keinhardt was on the shakers' stand bawling, "0ieu column then1!" for the big bugs who were coming through to join him. The drums and lifes were doing the best they could. As the distinguished men rammed their way along, there was no end of cheering, (ien. Carr announced all the sink ers. At first me crowd sal uown in front, stood up in the middle, .occu pied the court house porch in the rear, and teemed on the balcony and in the windows. Among the many Confederate uni forms, Gen. Stephen 1). Ue of Mis sissippi apcared in plain black. He soke glowingly of North Carolina history. He said that she had fur nished 10,(1110 more men than her arm-bearing opulation: that she had squandered I'l'.SKI more lives than any other Confederate State. He spoke with enthusiasm of the Tw enty sixth Kegiment; the first battle of the ((evolutionary war was fought at Alamance, and the first declaration of independence was in Mecklenburg All this was rewired, of course, with immense applause. The general is of medium size; his gray hair is shot with black; he wears a moustache and chin Ix-ard; his voice is capital; he s Hike from iencil notes held in his left hand and ges tured with his right hand. W hen the drummer and lifer sus pended, Mai. Iimlon exhibited and commented upon the Hag of the Thirty-ninth. It went through 07 battles. J. W. Shelton of Jackson county, who carried it through 17 battles, was called to the stand. Next apxared the flag carried at Bethel. When the banner of the Twenty-fifth was unfurled, a big fel low shouted, "Boys, look at the of hole shot in Vr!" It was ordained that Gen. Walker of South Carolina should make the speech of the day, both because of the merit of the sjkhvIi and of the humor of the listeners. He is of the ante-bellum type and is a line look ing man. "You hear people," he observed, "occasionally say, 'We believe we were right "We know it, we know it!" inter rupted many voices. He had a friend, he later remarked, who said he could fight Yankees 2 to 1, 3 to 1, or 4 to 1, but when he heard old Grant say, "Attention, world! Nations right and left wheel!" the rest of the sentence was drowned by laughter and applause. The sneaker got off on the subject of Southern women. "What have you done, he inquired, to let the world know you appreciate such mothers?" "Vote the Democratic ticket!" howled a man with black, frizzly hair. "We are going to raise a memorial for the glorious women of the Con federacy," assumed the speaker, "but we'll not do it by you fellows holler ing." "It'll hatter be done by dollarin'," was the stentorian answer. The general proceeded about the memorial, and in the midst of his remarks a swarthy mountaineer cried "An' don't fergit to rote the IVmo- cratic ticket! When the orator turned to the in terruptor, a long-faced man plucked him by the sleeve and counseled, "Hold steady; hold steady, the whole thing 11 bust teractly! Gen. Walker said he had made love to i woman in time of the war and she wouldn't atop knitting to hear what he bad to say. A great laugh greeted this, and many cries, such as. "She knitted her way through.' Gen. Walker concluded at 12.15 and it is a pity that a page could not be given to his speech. After him came Gen. Cullen A. Battle of Alabama, now of Greens boro, who spoke well. He is the father of Rev. Dr. II. W. Battle of that city. The most thoughtful speech was made by Gen. Hillary A. Herbert of Alabama, Secretary of the Wavy un der Cleveland. lie said the cause of the war was that the Yankees thought the South erners were mere braggart and would not fight; tlie South that the .Yankees lovrd nothing but the al mighty dollar, and would m 4 light; , but both were mightilr mistaken. He discussed the recent letter of ei Governor Chamberlain of South Can '1 ina in regard to reconstruction. The (Hiserver man interviewed him about politics, and elicited tlie gen eral opinion that Judge Parker ' stands a gl chance. Col. Cunningham, editor of Tlie Confederate Veteran of Nashville, jsaid he lias always given first honor to North Carolina. The handsomest man called out was Gen. Car tie of Smth Carolina He is a man of the world. He was dressed neatly in gray, wore a little gray moustache stained by cigar smoke, is well built and athletic, and spoke well. The youngest brigadier general in the Confederate army was then an nounced as Gen. W. P. Koberts of Gates, who read an essay on the "Southern Woman." Col. Paul B. Means of Concord confessed be was a ost-bellum "col onel." He spoke all right, but the people were getting tired. There were sundry signs of impatience. Finally, a man wailed, "Oh, pshaw, pshaw, that's all rot. We're tired of it!" Col. Means was the last sxaker, except Col. Pickens, whose sayings were mentioned at the outset. The parade started from the court house at 2 o'clock. Kvery spot of greenery was occupied by men, wom en and children. Boys had climbed into the trees; every window was full; tallyhos, delivery wagons, carriages, every sort of current vehicle could lie seen there. It was an indescrib ably gala scene. The Hags and bunt ing and badges and paraphernalia simply beat the band. How the Dikes of Holland Are Built. From "Hciw lha I'uu-h Have Takan Hollsml." I.) Krank II Hill.

The drainage of the eountrv has always been a work partly of defense against the hereditary, inexhortable enemy, the ever-threatening ocean. constantly pounding against the nat ural and artihcial barriers raised lo stop its progress, hiking the land. reclamation, going hand in hand, be gan lo be developed on a huge scale from the beginning of the seven-' tcenth century. The method em ployed is as follows: An encircling dike, cutting off the land to bo drained, is built, then windmills, now steam engines, are set to work to pump up the water so shut off, which is then expelled into a syslen of arteries connected the one with the other, and constitu ting collectively what is known as a "bosom" which discharges the accu mulated waters into the sea. Sand, gravel, Biid clay are the ma terials used in the construction of dikes as a rule, although the great sea wall at Helder is buttressed with Norwegian granite, the Netherlands possessing neither building stone nor timber. A technical writer has said that compared with similar structures elsewhere, the Dutch dikes are noteworthy for their great width, the river dikes being built with a crown usually from fifteen to twenty feet wide, while tthc ordinary Ivik? of Mississippi levee has a crown width of only eight feet, I ho lieiglil being about the same. The slopes have a grade of three and one-half to one on the water side and two to one on the land side. A charactistic fea ture is the "banquette" or enlarge ment, of the dike, from ten to thirty feet at its base, where the pressure is most felt. The greatest dikes are those at Holder and Westcapelle, on the west coast of the island of Walchern. The Heldes dike is live miles in length twelve feet in width, and slopes downward to the sea, at an angle of forty degrees, a distance of two hun feet. Of the revenues of the Water staat, about 6,(XX),000 florins (?2, 112,000) is expended yearly in the maintenance of the dikes. Didn't Read the Sign Right. WskhliiKlon Pl.

We wople of Mecklenburg live in .a county which is bounded on the north by Cabarrus and lrd.-ll.on the least by Cabarrus and 1 11 km. on the jwest by York, I.iucoln and Gaston, 'and on tlie south by York and Un- '-.J.r rttiintiiM, Iim lalla.a lia,. I.im in South Carolina. Our leading mu nicipal neighborsare Concord. Siates ville, I jnootutou, (iastouia, Yorkville, Kock Hill, Lancaster and Monroe In many cases the towns which are neighboring to a city are more or less dependiiit ii xin the city. In the case of our neighbors, there is no one of them but w hat is as flourish ing and as indi-eitdcut of us as wr are of them. .Social and commercial reciprocity are the leading principles 01 the transactions of t harlotte ilh tier municipal neighbors. In all com mercial relations the dealings be tween this city and these others which have been named by w hich we are surrounded, are always advanta geous to huh sides of a trade. l'-acti of these principal towns has 1 well developed manufacturing in terest, not onlv in col ton, but in other and diversified lines as well. In each is a well develoxHl and prosperous commercial interest. Kaoli is the centre of an agricultural area which is about as good as that of Mecklen burg. Our resource is not drawn iimiq to a gi eater extent than we can draw upon them. Throughout this whole area the most conspicuous feature of the prog ress and development is thai it is being done by w liite fieople. At the late Fourth of July celebration in Gastonia there were little groups of negroes scattered about the low 11, but they were lonesome. It was not their day. They evidently didn't quite understand just what the enthusiasm of tlie while working population was all about. It is the piedmont region of the South w hich is more proscrous, and Charlotte and its neighbors are iu the very heart of the piedmont. The Pied 111011 tese of the Carolinas are proscring because they have ceased to rely iqion the negro and have gone to work for themselves. They pios cr more because they have estab lished schools, and each year the maturing young man is letter pre pared for the battle of life than those of the previous year. In the pied mont country the negro is a dimin ishing factor in all events. The white imputation is increasing far more rapidly than the negro. The old characteristics of a white and black population all living on the Ia' of U10 Am k imputation, ut one tin e common throughout the whole South, are all gone from this central piedmont section. It w ill not be long before the prin cipal cities near Charlotte will have 1 nil Icy lines connecting them up to this citv. The water power of the Yadkin and that of the Catawba prac tically insures this. Such lines be tween Charlotte and Concord, Gas tonia, Kock Hill, and Monroe would pav now. With the water power available, they could be very cheaply oiK-rated. tioing through a well set tled agricultural region, they would get much passenger and freight business from the fanners. Such lines would lie as advanta geous to us and the cities named as the macadam roads running into the eountv have been to the country folks and the people of Charlotte.

The Journal was unable to get the details of the wrv, k on the Sit board at Pes ler oil the ?7th, by hich Kngiueer Ad.itns of Italeigti aud Firriuitu Triplet! of Monroe were killed. No pa-r g;ive more than a hare statement, until the Waileslmro Me-iiger and Inlelli geticer comes with the following graphic story: The point where the wreck oc curred was ou au embankment about !" feet high. It is traversed by a small dram, w hich found an outlet through a rock culvert ulxiut four feet sotiare, eutirelv sufficient heretofore to cui ry off all the witter which aerumuluted alsixe the till. iTherehud beru au unusual down- ! ....... ,.r ..I. ... I I... iiuur ui iuiu inr matin lining it- tore the disaster iiiieouullcd by anything of like kiud lu this imme diate locality. Just :ttl miiiiites Isefore the acci dent the local freight train had passed over the Kot iu safety, and there was nothing to indicate the fearful disaster thut was to follow. The extra had taken the siding ut Pee Ik-e for the local to puss. From the stilt ion to tbe Miint where the accident occurred is down grade, aud the heavy train had hardly got tou well under way before it run u I khi the eiiilutiikmeut, which hail become weakened either by the water seeping throiii:h the top ol the culvert or by a current under milling it from the lower side. The huge engine hud almost cross ed the danger poiut when the track gae way and the tender went into the washout, partially dragging the engine with it, and the cam piling theiusclveti 011 top of Ik.IIi, until the washout was tilled with the wreckage many feet above the track. By a miracle tbe bend: break man, who was 011 the engine at the lime of the accident, escaped with his life, tlu ugh seriously but not fatal ly injured. He suvs that the truck, to all apiieunces, was in gmsl con dition, and the first intimation he had was the sinking in ul'the hind most poll ion of the engine, 11 ml the balance became a blank until he awoke to couciotisiifMS to liud him self buried beneath the derbis of the shattered curs and their con tents. Mrs. T. P. Kichaitlson was 11 11 eye witness to the accident, she hupiMMiing to lie ou her front porch ut the time, something like IMMi yards away, Mlie Immediately called her husband, and he was the first to reach tbe scene of the dis aster. He, with others, hastened to extinguish the tire which hud started iu the meanwhile. While so engaged the brukeiiian called out from beneath tbe mass of timbers, by which he waa pinned down, for help, aud their efforts were then directed to bis relief. After tin hour's hard work he was rescued from his perilous situation. As fast us steam could transport them, meu and wrecking trains were hurried to the scene. 1 he work of clearing the track ami the recovery ol the bodies of those who bud perished was continued throughout the long hours of the night, despite the fact that the ruiu was steadily falling all I lie while. On Sunday morning the body of F.ngineer Adams was found to tbe right of his engine fearful ly broken up and disfigured. He never knew a moment's suffering; his death wu instantaneous. The fireman s body was recovered later. Kongh but tender hands bore their remains to a special train in waiting. They were taken to liockinghnm mid there prepared for shipment to their respective homes. Men, womeu and children for miles around gathered at the scene of the wreck on Humlay. It wus 11 sight that mude a lifetime impres sion. The great eighty ton engine hung 011 the edge of the washout at un angle of .'10 or :t." degrees, with the tender smashed into kindling wood, with rods and running gear distorted and twisted into a thou sand shapes a giant of mini's handicraft shorn of her strength. Fifteen feet lurther and the lives of the brave men who went down to their death would have been preserved. Home one had thoughtlessly placed the hut of the dead engineer upou the bell of his engine, and there it hung all day long. The onlookers, as well as those who toiled, apeured to be under constraint. Orders, which other wise would have come like the snap of a whip, were given in low and sulHlued tones. All realized that they were in the presence of deuth It was one of life's tragedies! "Do It Today." The time-worn injunction, "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today, ia now generally presented 111 thi form: "Do it today!"
