Shall a Confederate Soldier Ever Again be Elected to Any High Office in North Carolina? Correspondence News and Observer. To the Editor: Shall a Confederate soldier ever again be elected to any high office in North Carolina? Or shall they be relegated into "inocu ous desuetude?" Among the twelve Congressmen from this State there Is not one ex-Confederate soldier, nor is it probable that there will ever again be a. 'Confederate soldier from this State in Congress. North Carolina Is the only Southern State that en joys (?) this unenviable distinction, and yet she boasts of having furnish ed more soldiers to the Confederate army than any other State. This year is the best opportunity of electing an ex-Confederate soldier Governor of this State. Four years hence the cry will be raised that 10 one is sufficiently vigorous to make the campaign and too old and feeble to discharge the duties of Governor. The Confederates feel that this is their hit chance to have one of their number otir Chief Magistrate, aud therefore they are terribly in earnest and have selected as their candidate one who is in every respect worthy of being the Governor of our grand old State. All true North Carolinians proudly boast that our soldiers were "the first at Bethel and the last at Appo mattox," aud it is eminently appro priate tlmt the old soldier's candi date should be one who was literally and truly one of the first at Bethel and one of the last at Appomattox. They present as their candidate one who volunteered in April. 1861, as a private in Company H of the "Beth el" regiment and was paroled at Ap pomattox as Major of the 44th regi ment, and who served most gallant ly and faithfully all those four years from Bethel to Appomattox. He Is a true and magnificent type and rep resentative of those brave men who offered up their lives in defense of their State, and is also the type and representative of the courtly South ern gentleman of whom "the old South" was so justly proud. And with that he is a splendid type and representative of the progressive bus iness men of the "new Southland" and is one who has at all times and under all circumstances, In peace and in war, been true to every trust and faithful in all thinge. Are the survivors of the gallant "Tar Heel" soldiers asking too much when they ask for the nomination of eo distinguished a comrade? It is all very right and proper to erect mar ble monuments to our Confederate dead, but why not honor the living also? Why not honor the dead and rejoice the hearts of the living sol diers of North Carolina by electing so worthy a representative as the Governor of our State? And especi ally when th'.sls the !ast opportunity of thus honoring either the dead or the living. With all due respect to the other most worthy aspirants for the nom ination, the old Confederates appeal to the young Democrats of North Carolina to give them this, their last chance, of honoring one of their num ber. The old Confederate will not long be in the way of the younger as pirants. The "long and thin gray line" is rapidly growing thinner, and our ranks are sadly depleted and not many years hence the Confederate soldiers will be only a memory, and all those battle-scarred heroes will ha ve "crossed o'er the river" and be at rest with their immortal leaders, Robt. E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Let us make unanimous the nomi nation of the brave soldiers, that courtly gentleman, that unswerving Democrat, and that true North Car olinian, Charles Manly Stedman. H.

The closing exercises of Howard High School at Stem on Friday, April 29th, will be of a most interesting nature as Prof. Howard, the talent ed and efficient principal of this splendid school, has arranged an ex cellent program for the occasion. On Friday afternoon there will be an address by Prof. B. b . Hester, County Superintendent of Education. Following this address will be speech es and recitations by the pupils of the school, the exercises for the after noon closing with some athletic sports. The night exercises will be gin at 8 o'clock. Gen. B. S. Royster, of Oxford, has accepted an Invitation to deliver the commencement ad dress, which will come first on the program for the evening. Prof. How ard was fortunate in his selection of a, speaker as Gen. Royster Is an at tractive and forceful one and will, no doubt, greatly please the audi ence who hears him. The address will be followed by the rendition of a first-class drama in three acts en titled, "Out in the Streets," which will close the exercises. We are much gratified at the suc cess of the school at Stem. Under the direction of so capable a princi pal as Prof. Howard the school is steadilv advancing. We would be glad if every section of the county had such an academy In It. What a power they would be for the cause of education and lor tne uplifting 01 tne people! "Do It Today." The time worn injunction, "Never put off 'til tomorrow what vou can do today," is generally presented in this lorm: "Do it today!" That is the terse advice we want to give you about that h eking cough or demora'izing cold with which you have been struggling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy f r it to-day and let that temedy be Dr. Boschee's Ger man Syrup, which has been in use for over 3 years. A few doses of it will undoubted ly relieve your cough or cold,and its continu ed use for a few days will cure you completr ly. No matter how deep seated your cough, even if dread cousumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Smallpox Exterminated Here, We are glad to announce that the smallpox, under the wise and skillful management, of our excellent Super intendent of Health, Dr. S. I). Booth, is now gone, all the cases being well who recently took the disease and that there are no new cases and no suspects. The people of Granville county cer tainly owe Dr. Booth a debt of grat itude for the work he has done In stamping out this much dreaded disease. He has neglected, In fact for a time he almost gave up his lu crative practice to devote himself to the suppression of smallpox. For some time his work as Superintend ent of Health has been done at a per sonal loss, and his work we trust Is appreciated by our people. But for his painstaking efforts the scourge of smallpox might have been widely spread in our community and county and many deaths might have result ed therefrom. We cannot keep from drawing a comparison between Granville and Durham counties. That county has not been free from smallpox in sev eral years. Had the proper precau tions been taken there which have been taken here that community and others which have caught the disease from it might have been as free from the disease as Granville. Is it not strange that after medical science worked for years yeaforcenturles to discover a safe and sure remedy for smallpox that peop'e will not avail themselves of It? For our part we believe m aDsoiute compulsory vaccination. Let every man,woman and child who has no blood trouble which would make vaccination un safe, be vaccinated. A Great Sensation.

A horrible fire occurred near Creed moor Saturday night at the Wm. Mitchell place In which Wm. Bowl ing and wife, colored, lost their lives. The fire was first discovered by Mr. and Mrs. N. II. Fleming, who with their son-in law, Mr. Obie Winston, live on the place. Mr. Fleming had retired and smell ing smoke he got up thinking It was fire In his fireplace. Mrs. Fleming happened to look out the window and saw that the house of Bowling was on fire. Had It not been for quite a number of young people there the dwellings of Messrs. 1 Iemlng and Winston would perhaps have been burned as the house of Bowling was near. A strong gale was blowing and hundreds of sparks fell upon the tops. By keeping the tops wet they were sayed along with some other buildings. Bowling and wife were doubtless asleep and the fire had gained such headway were caught in a death trap. Bowling's body was found several feet from the door near the foot of the bed and his wife at the door. Large numbers of people came to see the burned bodies Sun day. P.
