J' ' Governor Oni 0wns Mansion for Tlwir Entertainment All Who Ask Will lie Entertained in Rnl eij;h. Raleigh Dispatch, May 26. That the influx of Confederate vet erans for the annual reunion that is to be held here In conection with the unveiling of the Home monument to the North Carolina Women of the Confederacy will tax to a very great degree the available homes in the city for their entertainment Is shown by the progress of the entertainment committee of the Chamber of Com merce Is making. There will be, ac cording to present indications, at least 1,200 veterans here for the free entertainment under the invita tion that has been sent out by the city. Homes for nothing like this num ber have yet been provided, but the committee is confident that every veteran asking for entertainment shall have it. The A. & M. College will feed five hundred and room three hundred. A number of halls about the city will be equipped for their entertainment. Governor Craig has won high com mendation by his announcement that the governor's mansion will be open to as many as can be entertained there The reunion will be In pro gress June 9th and 10th and the un veiling will take place on June 10th. General Carr has issued the fol lowing order: 1. The annual reunion of the X. C. division of United Confederate veterans will be held at Raleigh on the 9th and 10th days of June, 1914. Veterans on their arrival at Raleigh must register at the railway station, and will be assigned to their quar ters. It would be well If every vet eran would wear a badge, giving the company and regiment In which he served, and all camps that have a flag are requested to bring their nags and other banners with them The hospitable citizens of Raleigh are making ample arrangements for the veterans who do not care to pay for their meals and lodgings, and all vet erans who may desire such entertain ment, but as soon as possible, notify Captain A. Crelg, at Raleigh, so that quarters may be reserved for them. The commander at every camp is urged at once to send to Captain Gregory the number of veterans who will attend the reunion. Unless this Is done, there may be confusion and delay in providing the quarters for them. Every veteran should bring with him a blanket, as all cots may not be provided with blankets. Qunr ters will be provided at tho A. & M College for r.s many as can there be accomodated, and others will be en tertained at the homes of the citizens of Raleigh. 2. The railroad companies have given the low rate of one cent a mile for this reunion as they have hereto fore done at previous reunions, so that the expen.se of attending tills reunion will bo very little, and it is hoped that thero will be a large at tendance. Col. Charles K. Johnson and Mr. H. 11. Carr have generously offered to give free tickets on the stret railway In Raleigh to all vet erans attending the reunion. 3. On the 10th of June will be unveiled the monument to the North Carolina W omen of the Confederacy, given by our late comrade Ashley Home, and a special invitation has been extended to all veterans to at tend and participate in the unveiling ceremonies. 4. Veterans will not be expected before the morning of the 9nh, and the first meeting of the reunion will be held in the city auditorium at 3 o'clock that afternoon, and all vet erans are urged to be prompt In their attendance, and the last meeting will be held on the 10th in time for the veterans to depart for their respee tive homes that afternoon. Raley-tiilmoro. fWroHnnnrtence of The Journal. Mr. Martin Luther Raley of Mt. Croghan, s. C, and Miss Clara ran- oa r.ilninre of Santuc. S. C. sur- nrlanrt tlinlr mnnv friends on last Tuesday evening when they drove to Ruby, S. C, and were quietly mar ried at the Presbvterian manse by the Rev. J. R. Millard. The marriage had been planned ror Wednesday nt the Preshvterlan church. Ruby, when they expected to take with them a few of their most inti mate friends from Mt. Croghan and some friends from Ruby, but as they had planned a very quiet affair and a number of neonle had found out their intentions and planned to wit ness the ceremony they decided to steal a march on their friends. Mrs. Raley is the accomplished and attractive d.mehter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Gilmore. She Is a graduate of Columbia College and since her graduation has been very popular in the social circles of North and South Carolina. She has been a member f the facnltv of the graded school of Mt. Croghan for the past session and is held In highest esteem by her monv frlanria nt thla nl.ire and Was unanimously re-elected for another term at the close or the scnooi. Mr Ralev is one of the most prom tnent business men in this section of the State, being the popular cashier of the Hank or Uuby ana Ml. urog han, and Is well known throughout the State in a business and social they left In a machine on Wed nesday for points in North Carolina, thn destination not being known. Upon their return home they will be at home to their many friends at the Hotel Mt. Croghan until the comple tion of their elegant new home on Central Avenue. 11KST DAY AT (.ETTYslU "IUJ. on tin unt ion of the Story .f -the ltattle -I ,Vl"1 So'1''" r Silling It)' a Stone. Ol her Incidents. As the writer remembers, Daniel's - -nde occupied the left wing of our ,,i,v on this the first day of the bat tle and our regiment, the 53rd X. C, on the left of the brigade. Having gotten our line in proper order, we were commanded to advance on. the enemy's line. We moved out steadi ly and In fine order for a distance of. say, 150 or 200 yards while the bul lets from the enemy's rifles were flying thick and fast. About this time we saw a troop of lllue Coats emerge from the belt of woods to our left whose object evidently was to make a flank movement and thus get in our rear. Col. Owens understand ing their tactics and seeing our peril, gave orders to his regiment to fall back. We very promptly retreated back to the point from which we started. The Yankees in the mean time withdrew to their sheltered po sition In the woods. Again the com mand to forward was given with ex actly the same results. General Dan iel, observing the behavior or our regiment and not aware of the cause, dashed down the line to where Col. Owens was standing. Just in time, I think, to catch the Colonel's words as he stormed out to a regiment of men lying in a gully behind some bushes and who had been lying there from the start, "Why in the hell don't you 3rd Alabamlans get up and for ward?" "Why in the world don't you forward your men?" demanded General Daniel. "I have no support on my left, General. If you will send Kenan on my left we 11 go," answered Owens. The General wheeled his horse about, galloped back up the line and ordered Col. Kenan to take his regiment to the left and join Col. Owens. Directly our hearts filled with delight at seeing the grand old 43rd and the gallant Kenan coming down the line at double-quick time to our aid. They swung into line and again the order came to forward this time with better success. Under a galling fire of both Infantry and ar tillery from the enemy's line, we swept hurriedly across the open held and a little into the wood where we halted to make ready for the final assault. It will be remembered that during all this confusion and nm- noeuvering, we were obliged to hold our fire, for the most part at least, from the fact that it would have re suited in a useless waste of ammuni tion as the yar.kees were either be yond the range of our muskets or lay in concealment. Just as we halted. however, Lleut.-Col. J. T. Morehead, who was just in front of our compa ny, caught a glimpse of a blue coat partly concealed behind a tree some distance In our front. Without even batting his eyes, ho reached back and motioned for a gun. "I tide llosea 'foniberlin handed the colonel his and tho colonel took a" dead level" aim and fired. The bail tore a great gash In the side of the tree. The yank was so scared that 1 dropped his gun and, as the boys say, "lit a rag" for other parts. J list at this point Cupt. Hilly Hammond, son of tho lato Hanipton I). Hammond of An son county and adjutant general of our brigade, who was sitting on his horse Just in front, turned to his men and there amid the storm of grape and canister from the yankee bat tery on our right and the minnie balls from the hidden enemy, addressed his men In these cheering and inspir ing words: "My dear fellow soldiers! Don't get excited; keep cool, and in good order, as far as possible, follow me and make every shot count and we are as sure of victory as yonder sun Is to set behind the western hills!' Then came the command to charge! With that hair-raising yell that meant: we're going! we swept across the woods, like a tornado, carrying everything before us. We captured the battery that hnd been pouring grape and canister into our ranks a moment ago, reversed the guns and fed the flying yanks on the same diet which they had been dishing out to us. We kept up our lire of both In fantry and artillery as we chased them down the slope, in the open field, to the edge of the town, strew ing the field with dead and wounded and capturing a number of prisoners. As I ran along the edge of rock that had been thrown from what seemed to be a railroad cut, I saw a yank sitting erect and leaning back against the- rock with his gun hugged tight against his body. My first impulse was to rush at him and order him to surrender, but on near Ing him I discovered that he was as dead as the stone on which he sat Just past him, there was a mudhole partly filled with muddy, warm wa ter. Slipping my canteen strap from my shoulder, I dropped It into the water, hoping I might get a swallow at least, but business was too urgent for much success in my effort. (I saw others try the same feat.) It was getting late in the afternoon when we halted just in the edge of the town and the Are of battle had ceased, but we were startled by the crack of rifle and on looking up we saw' a puff of smoke issuing from a window In the upper story of a large white building, presumably a hotel However, a few shots from our mus kets was sufficient. A white flag was immediately thrust out and wav ed in front of the window. As far as the writer knows the occupants of the houst were not molested or pun Ished further. Just In front of where our regl ment halted, a short bridge spanned a small stream of clear water, frlng- Ing the western edge of the town of Gettysburg and there In the road by the stream and a little in front of he bridge, was presented to view he most horrible, heart-si kenig and the most gruesome spectacle that ever met my gaze, a description of which will introduce my next sKelch. Note: Since writig the above through the courtesy of a valued friend, I have had the opportunity and pleasure of reading Col. James T. Morehead a sketch of the o3rd X. C. egiment with profound respect for my dear superior, and not doubting his veracity in the .least, I must say that either he did not grasp the situ ation at the time or else he had for got ton a part of it. He says on page 256, Vol. 3. "X. C. Regiments," by Clark: "The 53 Regiment had has tened from Carlisle and on arriving at Gettysburg was immediately thrown into line and advanced to the assault with the brigade." This is alt true so far, but he further says: There was not room between the left of our brigade and the brigade on our left for the 53rd to get Into line until the brigade on our left had giv en away, then we took our place in line and drove the enemy Into town." The Colonel has "crossed the Riv er" and in Justice to his memory I will not debate the matter further, but will submit the case to every liv ing comrade present at the time, feel ing that my version of the Incident will be substantiated by all. H. P. MEIGS, Wingate, N. C. HETWEF.X NATIONAL HIGHWAYS. The Death of Mr Staines. The last issue of The Journal con tained a short item telling of the sud den death of Mr. J. G. Starnes the day before. Further details are thus given by the Waxhaw Enterprise: Mr. John G. Starnes of Buford township died suddenly Monday morning about ten o clock on the road between his home and Mr. Cau then Broom's. Mr. Starnes had been suffering for about two years with heart trouble, but had been In better health recently. Between nine and ten o'clock Monday morning Mr. Starnes and Ms son, Jarvis, left homj together, the latter taking the mower to mow a meadow near Mr. C.nil'ie.i Broom's and Mr. Stamen was goiu to Mr. Broom's after a ju.j of molasses. He did not keep up with his son and later when he did not reach the meadow the boy supposed ho had returned home. After finishing the work Jarvis started home about two o'clock and near Mr. James Neal's he found his father lying dead in the road. He had lain in the hot sun so log that he was badly blistered. He was buried at Bethlehem, the church where ho held his member ship, yesterday morning, Rev. J. C Postell conducting the services. Mr. Starnes was a son of the late Tommy Starnes of Buford township and was one of the best citizens of the county. His home was a place where strangers and friends alike were welcome.

Hare, the government expert on poultry raising, who Is es tablishing poultry clubs in different counties, and who has just made a visit to Winthrop College and given a lecture with his slide pictures on poultry raising, made a trip to the Cunningham Poultry Farm Sat urday and Informed Mr. Cunning ham that he was doing good work, He said that he had established two to three hundred members In the clubs in the counties that he had worked and found It took too much time to visit each member and In or der to facilitate matters he would try and get a scheme to go through which would mean that those poultry farms now established and doing good work, would be used to demon strate the smaller ones Just begin nlng, and that not only would the farm be used as a demonstration farm, but that all products sold from these farms would have a stamp placed on them with tho govern ment s guarantee behind them. Mr. Hare seemed well pleased with Mr. Cunningham's poultry work and said he would use this as one of the farms when he reached this country Governor Cralir Appoints "Progres sive" ( oniinlttee. Raleigh, May 27. Governor Craig anounced today the names of the committee that the Progressive Democratic Convention held here a few weeks ago directed him to ap point to present to the platform com mlttee of the regular Democratic Convention here June 4, the various "progressive planks" adopted by the progressive convention as proper to be Incorporated In the Democratic platform.

"Who gave the bride away?" asked Mrs. Evans of her daughter, who had Just returned from the wedding. "Her little brother," replied the daughter; "he stood up In the middl of the ceremony and yelled 'Hurrah Blanche, you're got him at last! .Vow Designed ti Make l-utoral lbmds Count- ting; (he Two North and South Line Waxhaw Interested. The Waxhaw Enterprise, always alert and qtii-k to advocate every thing good for it locality, has, this week, the following interesting ani le, which is of mure than local con cern: There Is a highway running from the north to the sou'he.ist, coming down by Roanake, Va., by Greens boro, Salisbury, Charlotte and Gas tonia, in this state, by Gaffney, Spartanburg, Greenville and Ander son, South Carolina, into Ceorgia. This road is lul'ed the National High way. Tho United States government through its office of good roads is building another highway from Washington, Raleigh, Cheraw, Cam den, Columbia to Atlanta. These two highways run parallel at a dis tance ranging from 80 to 125 miles apart. The next obvious step is for the government to make several lat eral connections between these two great highways. The logical route for one of these connections is to tap the national highway at Charlotte and the government Capital to Capi tal highway at Camden. Again the logical course for this connection is down the Providence road from Charlotte, through Waxhaw to the Steele Creek road at about the old Heath place orCureton's store, thence to Lancaster, on through Ker shaw to Camden. This course affords the most direct route and the one easiest to construct and to maintain. This route will give Sandy Ridge township about ten miles of the road and Jacksou about seven. This route also runs through a better country all the way coming as It does right through Sardis, Providence and Weddlngton which are the best com munities in the two counties. By virtue of the geographic loca tion of this route It Is the best. It follows all the way from Charlotte to the South Carolina line the creRt of a high ridge that Is well drained and which for the most part stays good twelve months in the year. By vlr tue of Its geologic composition It is the best route. Several miles of the route are through shallow sand with clay subsoil, which makes for the easy construction of the ideal sand clay road. And the sand clay road is the Ideal road and the standard of quality for all earth roads. It Is more permanent than macadam and Is better for hauling and automo- biling. Waxhaw and the two townships In which Waxhaw is situated have a good chance to get this road. The national government Is paying half the cost of construction and main tenance of these highways and the road by here will be a part of the government system. The course for this lateral connection in already fix ed below Lancaster. But there are several ways it can go between I.an caster and Charlotte. The progres- sive people of Riverside and Van Van Wyck want it. lout will get it way out of line. The people iilong tho Steele Creeck road want It, but there Isn't lunch pull tor that road yet. It' the people of this section want it the thing to do Is to go uMer it. The coming of this routo will mean enhanced property values and increased business. It will nrp'i al most as much as a railroad. It will open up new possibilities for truck ing and gardening all along the line It will mean much better facilities for travel giving convenient access to the railroads at Charlotte, Wux- haw and Lancaster. Citizens of Waxhaw, Jackson ar.d Sandy Uidge: Is the road worth working for? Mrs:. Jackson Graduates. Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, widow of the great Confederate leader, and hereself a most distinguished aluml na of Salem College Is attending the Commencement Exercises nt this fa- mous institution. Mrs. Jackson was brought to Salem In 1S48 by her father Dr. Robert Hall Morrison, the first President of Davidson College the journey being taken in private conveyance. She was one of six sis. ters. four of whom were educated here, the remaining two being unable to gain admittance through lack of accomodations. She completed her course in 1849 and was married to Stonewall Jackson in 1S57. At the tune of her connection with the col lege as a student there were no grad ualion exercises nnd no diplomas were awarded. At the Commence ment Exercises on Tuesday she re ceived from the hands of President Dr. Howard E. Rondthaler an honor ary diploma bestowed upon her by the Board of Trustees. Mrs. Jackson was likewise present to see her grand neice, Miss Elizabeth McBee, grad uate. About Vann. Waxhaw Enterprise. The Union County Democratic con ventlon last Saturday unanimously endorsed Mr.J.C.M.Vann for solid tor. This was something of a rec ord for Union as this county Is not in the habit of lining up solidly for its own. Mr. Vann would make a line prosecuting officer. He is one of the ablest and moBt popular members of the Monroe bar. Besides being a man of engaging personalities he is at all times above board and it does not take a prophet to tell where he stand on public questions. He applies himself closely to his profession and Is as straight as a hundred yards.

Everything in the way f Vf ee'alion seems to be either on stand or losing ground. Many farmers have ador'ed President VYil- on's policy of "Watchful waiting." Mr. A. F. Gr-n has a very mcx child. At one time its life was al most despaired of, but we are glad to learn that it Is mudi better at present. Mr. T. A. J. Price spent Sunday t the bedside of his sister, Mrs. T. F. James of Unionville. Mrs. James, we learn, is seriously ill. Dr. J. R. Jerome was the victim of quite a serious accident a few days go. In going down a hill the tug strap of his buggy harness broke, causing his horse to run. The doc tor was thrown from the buggy and was painfully bruised about the head and face and had one of his thumbs broken. He was unconscious for a hort while but soon recovered. He has resumed his practice and is as jolly as ever. Mr. Ray Funderburk of Mt. Holly spent Sunday with the family of Mr. J. B. Bass. Our good old friend, Esq. W. G. Long, was In our place Saturday.

Miss Daisy Meigs, assistant cash ier of the Carolina Savings Bank, on her return from a few days outing among friends and relatives In and about Marshville, stopped off at W in gate nnd spent a day with the family of her uncle, Hosea P.

Miss Meigs was in the employ of the Bell Telephone Company of Charlotte for ten yenrs, but the work was so ex acting and so trying upon her health hat she was compelled to resign and find work less arduous. Hence the change. Mr. D. F. Jones hns been right sick for some days, we are sorry to learn Hope he will be restored to his ac customed health. Mr. D.

Boys, don't do that; it isn't manly; it isn't becoming any boy or girl, lady or gentleman, to treat anybody's religion with levity. It shows that something of very great Importance has been left out in your raising and education, and it reflects upon your parents and teach ers. Besides every true and manly man and womanly woman has a su preme contempt for such behavior, Don't do It, boys; you'll feel asham ed of such conduct when you are older.

First Farmers Co-oiei'nllve laundry News Letter National Department of Agriculture. The first farmers co-operative laundry In the Inlted States is now In successful operation at Chatfield Minn., where it is doing much to eliminate for the over-worked farm ivoman the terrors of "blue Mon day." Chatfield is ouly a small vil lage and the laundry's patrons are almost entirely obtained from the open country nround. Coarse cloth Ing of all sorts, overalls, rugs, bed rlothing, and fine fabrics as well, are handled at a uniform price of five cents a pound for washing and iron Ing. An extra charge is made for such articles as need to be ironed by hand. The laundry Is managed In connection with a co-operative creamery, paying to the creamery a reasonable rental for the use of part of Its building. Modern ma chlnery was Installed at the begin ning and an experienced laundryman engaged as superintendent. For the first year of operation, which has Just closed, the receipts were $5,403 70 per cent of which was paid out for wages. Patrons received a div idend of 10 per cent and stockhold era six per cent additional. The sue cess of the Innovation will, It Is said prove most encouraging to rural workers everywhere.

Ill order to give a Kuetlcal tet o the value of visiting nurses in a iral community, re; r-sentaties ot he rural organisation servire of the partment helped the people of Chil ton county, Ala., to organize for the urpose of appointing a visitln? rained nurse and meeting her sala ry and expenses. For this purpose he sum of $1,50 was raised, of which the county board apropriated 500. the school board $5oO, and rivate individuals $500. The ser- ices of a visiting nurse, certitied by the Xational Red Cross Society, were secured at a salary of $960 per year nd actual expenses. In the expenses were included the purchase of a horse and buggy, and stabling and feed for the horse. In order to enable the county to ppoint the nurse as a county offi cer, the nurse cpplied and received third-grade teacher's certificate. which enabled her to be appointed as assistant county superintendent f schools. To direct her work and disburse the money raised and ap propriated, the following committee was appointed: The county health officer, county superintendent of schools, county agent for fanners co-operative demonstration, county head of the girls' canning cluo work, and a local physician. The nurse has been actually en gaged in her work now for more than one month. Her work t.is been as follows: School visiting By degrtcs she Is Isiting every rural school in the county and at these schools is mak- ng an inspection of pupils to detect signs of contagious diseases and to discover defects in teeih, presence of adenoids, diseases of tho eyes, or similar physical conditions calling for medical or other attention. In aldi tion she Inspects the school grounds with special reference to sanitary ap pliances In their relation to the spread of disease. She also lectures to the teachers and pupils on methods by which diseases are carried or spread, giving particular attention to he danger of the ny as a carrier of typhoid and the necessity for keep- ng water supplies and food uncon aminated. Mothers' meetings Wherever op portunity Is given, the nurse holds mothers' meetings at which she talks :md gives demonstrations on care nd feedings of infants, hone and gen- ral hygiene and sanitation, with pedal reference to source:' of dis eases and measures for prevailing their spread. Sick nursing In special cases where rural patients are dangerously ill, the nurse, at the request of doc tors, visits tho home and assists the l hysleiau in getting the patient over the crisis.

(iovci'iimcnt lias No Amnoved Any Tlvntnienl Except the Protective Sertiin. Washington Dispatch, May 2sth. Evidence of what appears to be a well organized plan to delude the farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for hog clio- era, under tbe Impression that this has been Investigated and approved by the United States government, has reached the Department of Agricul ture.. Articles praising this medi cine, Benetol by name, are being sent out widespread to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it penrs as If the Department of Agri culture had received reports from the S'ate of Minnesota showing th:it the medicine had proved most beneficial. s a matter of fact the one report re ceived by the Department was an un official and unsolicited statement sent presumably from the promoters themselves. The Department attach es no importance whatsoever to this statement. It has no reason to be lieve In the efficiency of any pro prietory cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions it urtes farmers to protect their stock with anti-cholera serum but that Is all. In connection with this attempt if may be said that the medicine, which Is now put forward as good for hog, was advertised some time ago as a means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid and cancer germs, according to an nrtlcle published In the Journal of the American Medical Association. At that time it was asserted that the Army was interested In it. As a matter of fact the Army was no more Interested then that the Depart ment of Agriculture Is now. In view of the evidence that the attempt to create this false impres sion is persistent and widespread, all hog owners are warned to communi cate with the United States authori ties before accepting as true any statment that the Government rec ommends any treatment other than the serum already mentioned. Altruism. A teacher trying to Impress on her children the Tightness of kindness to ward all animals took them for a walk, to bring tbe lesson home to them. Hearing a scream from little John ny, she asked: "What's the matter,' Johnny?" "I've been sitting on a hornet," was the reply, "and I'm afraid I've hurt the poor thing." Delineator.
