This compilation is the work of James O. Carr, Esq., a member of the Wilmington bat and a great grand nephew of Mr. Dickson. All of tbeletterareofan interesting nature, giving-yivid pictures of hap penings in North Carolina during the British invasien, and the times subsequent thereto.

John S. losby, the noted! Confederate calvary leader, has found a tattered flag of one of hia old regiments and .will have it pre served in ao Eastern musuem. Observing the emblem in a curio store window while passing, he en tered and made an examination. It proved to be one of the standards of the Thirteenth Regiment of Missies ippi Volunteers. When the identi fixation was complete Col. Mosby was greatly affected. The flag had been a fine piece of silk, very rare in tnose days of privation. It once contained a cross of blue in a field o. pink, tho cross dotted with eleven stars. Ladies presented it to the regiment on its departure to the front. It Was much-tattered xand faded into pale brown with age. Col. Mosby will send the flag to Mis sissippi with instructions that when it shall haveeen yiewed by the sur vivors of the regiment it be forward ed to Richmond, Va , to be placed ia the Confederate Museum Col Mosby is stationed at the PMeral !ad ffice at k'on.

KoosBteit m First President to Eat with a Negro Washington Special to Atlanta Constitution. 18, President Roosevelt shocked se verely his recently acquired south ern friends and admirer by inviting Professor Booker T. Washington, the noted negro college president, to dine at the white honse last night. Washington went there without other gues's. There is a feeling of indignation among southern uien generally, that the president should, in the face of his declaration of friendliness toward the people of the south, take this early opportunity to show such a marked courtesy and distinction to a negro. There is but one similar instance within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant of the Capital City when persons of negro blood were dined at the white house by the president. That was during President Cleve land's administration, when Queen Lilluokalani visited this country to resist the proposed annexation of the Hawaiian islatds. Then the roval party took dinner with the president POLITICAL AND SOCIAL EQUALITY. What effect the dining of Professor Washington by President Roosevelt is going to have upon his southern noiicv remains to oe seear it "is predicted that it will drive from him some of his new allies. A few days ago, when a delegation of southern politicians called upon the president in connection with a federal appoint ment, he took occasion to remark that the color of a man's skin should not operate to his advantage or dis- advantagetn an appointment or removal from office. President Roosevelt apparently intends to apply the same rule at his dinner table, and exercise his independenpe ia the selection of his guests. Some of the men who have talked wita the president on the situation in the southerr states have come away from the white house impressed by frankness and independence in peaking of the race question but at tliH a.m timfl manv 'of thpm liavp been convinced that'he does not fully auDreciate how difficult it is for the white man of the south to place him- "seif on a personal equality with the negro, it is for this reason that it has been more than once suggested to the president that, in the event of achange in the personnel of the cabinet, it might be to his advantage to select a representative from the south to help solve the race problem. Southern men here tonight in com menting on the Washington incident declare that the president does not and cannot understand the bad effect his iuviting the negro leader tc dinner will have on the attitude of the negroes of the south toward white men, their wive3 and their families. FIRST NEGRO AT WHITE HOUSE TABLE. Former presidents refrained from extending dinner inyitationsto such noted negro leaders as Fred Doug lass. B K. Bruce, R. B. Elliot, P. B. S.

Washington incident an occurrence at Albany during Mr. Roosevelt's term as governor, which has never found its way into print, will be of much interest at this time. A young negro who sings barytone in St. Georges church New York, gave a concert in Albany. He was a very good singer and a vveil benaved and intelligent negro. But hen he got to Albany all thehotek were shut to him. He had no place to go. Governor Roosevelt heard of this and sent for the young singer, and in vited him to the executive mansion, sphere he was lodged and fed during his stay in the state cap ital There are but few southern con gressmen here tonight, but those here voice but one sentiment when tn-iy declare that while they have The, greatest loyalty for President Roosevelt, they can not have the same respect for .him that they entertain ed before the Booker Washington diaaer incident.

The law will lim it the number of witnesses and the superintendent will decide who the witnesses will be. It was stated at the State Department of prisons to day that statements to the effect that Czolgosz is in a continuous state of collapse and that he breaks down and weeps every time any thing is said to him concerning the electrocution are false. " Suparintendent Collins had a taik with the condemned man some days ago and that at that time he said he knew he had to die. He expressed no fear as to the electrocution, but says that he would not care to go out side of the prison for he believ ed that the people would kill him. Since his confinement in Auburn prison several thousand letters have been received for him at the prison as well as a large number of express packages containing flowers and fruit. The letters, flowers or fruit have never reached the condemned man. The flowers and fruit, it, is earned, have been sent by Christian societies, as have a number of letters consoling him in his last moments.

' The children of the operatives of the Albemarle, Stanly county, Wis casset Mills, and the Efird Mills, will soon be provided with excep tional educational advantages, as compared with many others of their station in life. The owners of these two mills are building two suitable school edifices for the exclusive use of the children of each mill's opera tives. The buildings will be equip bed and competent teachers provid ed at the expense of the mill owners and education placed at the disposal of the children entirely free of cost to them or their parents. This sort of thing, however, is becoming com mon in the South, and especially in the CaroUnas, of late, and soon the mill that has not its own private school will" be the exception. The unusually rapid growth of the knitting mill industry in the South continues apace. Among the new mills projected for the near future are this week noted one at Wilson two at Winston-balem and two ir.

And he has the right to do this without saying so much as ''by your leave" to any human being. When President Roosevelt invited the negro teacher, Booker Washington, to dine with Mm he did what was clearly his right todo. It is true that in so doing-he was the first President who has sat. down todinaer with a negro as his ruest in the history of tb Republic. He boldly crossed social lines which other Presidents have cot crossed. They gave offices to negroes, on some occasions they re ceived negro officials at their public functions, but Mr. Rooevelt goes a steu further and invites one to a private dinner. Being so radical a departure from social custom' and social usage, it will naturally be the subject of some comment. But whatever the comment as to the new President's breaking down old social customs at the White House, it. hould be remembered that Mr. Koosevelt in bis own home has a right to choose his guests without onsulting anybody to his private dinners, though he has not alwajs t he right of choice at State .dinners. '1 he only comment that may be made in this connection is that, however it may be viewed bv Mr. Roosevelt and orhers in the North it is not a precedent that will en .-.ourage Southern men to join hands with Mr. Roosevelt. Call it what von please prejudice, provincialism, a rehc of the war or what not u is leeply 'rooted in" the minds of the Southern people that the only true position for the races is one of abso iute social separation. Break down that barrier and, then the deluge.

The place he now holds at chief adviser of the President in Federal appointments sn Alabama, the placing of bis daughter in a Northern school here tofore patronized only by whites, and his social elevation by the Pres ident these things are calculated to make him lose his footing as the one negro leader who despised the shad ow and stood for .the substance work and saving upon which the negro must build his future.
