Mr. Editor: Noticing the
controversy about the flag
of the fourth Regiment, and,
seeing a great many errors
published, I wish tc give you
a few facts that shoul ) set all
this at rest. Passing over all
the various descriptions of
battles at which the flag was
not captured we will come to
hi battle of Chancellorsville
fought Sundav May 3rd, 1863.
Compmy E. and F. w re
center companies, not company
I. as I have seen stated. Com
pany E. was color company,
with Mr. J. A, btikeather as
Ensign, and I was one of the
guards. My company was F.
The line of battle was some
what in the shape of a horse
sh e. After passing the first
'ine of the enemy's breast
works Mr. S ikeleather wis
wounded, and I took ihe flag
but was myself captured with
the flag on the seoond line of
breascwoiks The flag was first
snatched from my hands, but
I quickly regained it Then I
vas taken prisoner with the
flag and I discovered we had
been flanked and cut off from
our line of battle
Company F. went into that
fight with 25 men and came out
with only ten for duty . Of my
company (F ) the following
know these to be ihe true facts.,
D. P. Christian, W..P. Woothen,
James Gay. Again hoping this
may settle the controversy.
I am yours truly,
James H. Marshbourne.
A Philadelphia man is said
to be crying himsel to death.
It is pretty hard to live in a
pokey old town lise that, but
why dosen't he move out of
it?
Two Christian Scientists,
who allowed members of their
families to die witlfout medical
attention, have bcgn arrested
at Kokomo, Ind., otithe charge
of manslaughter.
Senator Morgan in his speech
for the Teller resolution said he
thought the restoration of sil
ver to free coinage "would be
as the delivery of markind
from war, pest'lence and fam
ine.
Raleigh, N. fj , Feb. 2. Reve
nue Collector Dmcan returned
from Washington at noon.
When asked if he had succeeded
1n getting the civil service reg
ulations modified he replied:
"Not a bit as yet.
In Raleigh there is not a
single Chinaman. The heathen
who rage in that vicinity are
Governor Russell and his tribe
of pis-eaters and hangers on.
They hive turned the capital
into enough of a Joss-house
without any Chinese assistance.
WashingrtDn, Feb. 2. Attor
ney General Griggs took the
oath of office this morning und
attended a Cabinet meeting
later in the day.
The caucus of the Republican
members of the House to elect
a congressional committee,
I whmh wn frt hvfl t.tlrfn ti ac.ft
today, was postponed until
Thursday evening.
Died, at his hom in Bladen
County N. C-. February 1st 1896,
Mr. John C Miller, in his 85
year. Re leaves a widow and
several children who grieve
over his departure, the oldest
of which is, Mr. A. M. Miller of
this town.
He waB reared by pious pa
rents and early became a
Christian. He united with the
Baptist Church and remained
within her fol, until his death.
As a friend and neighbor he
was ever true, honorable, kind,
considerate, ob iging, and was
held in very high esteem by
those among whom he lived,
and who knew him best.
He wa feeble, but confined
to his bed tor only a short time,
he was conscious to the verv
last, an J had no fear of dea'.h.
Hie d was quiet and peaceful
May our Heavenly Father min
is'er comfort to the bdoveJ
ones.
A Friend.

A few months ago, Mr. Bryan
Every, of Woodstock, Mich.,
j was badly afflicted with rheu-
! . T T 1
matism. tiis ngnt leg was
swollen the full length, causing
him great suffering. He was
advised to try Chamberlain's

There have been 5 L nroll
ments of students at 'he Uui
versityo: Nort'j Carolina thu?
far for the present sholastic
year. In the Freshman class
there are 120 sons of farmers.
With more income there would
be more work done and a larger

mencement speakers will be
Rev. Dr. W. F. Tillet, baccalau
reate; Thos. C. Fuller, law
class; Hannis Taylor, orator.
I have given Chamberlain's
Cough Remed a fair test and
consider it one of the rery best
remedies for cronp that I have
ever found. One dose has al
ways been sufficient, although I
use it freely. Any cold my
children contract yields very
readily to this medicine. I can
conscientiously . recommend it
for croun and colds in children,
