South ern Senators express themselves as hope ful over the; prospects of securing legis lation during the present session of con gress looking to the refunding of the money -paid into the treasury of the United States soon after the civil war as 'the result of the sale of the cotton cap tured by the federal .forces. There was originally about $30,000 6f this money, but a portion of it was paid to the own ers of the cotton soon after the close of the war. . , ;j The remainder was left in the treas ury and has remained there ever since. Senator Money," who is giving, especial attention looking to the reopening of the subject, says that tthe sum left amounts to about $11,000,000. A bill introduced by Senator Davis gives one year additional time for- proof of such claims before the court of claims. It has been favorably reported by the sen ate committee on claims and Senator Money thinks the outlook very good for favorable action. ; Most of the claims are held in the southern States. The Bubonic Plague. An interesting and valuable brochure, giving a complete history of the. bubonic plague, ' together with! means which have adopted for its prevention, has been; prepared and made public by Surgeon General Wy man, of the Marine Hospital Service. It is shown that the plague under various names is a disease : which : has ravaged the several countries of 'Africa, Asia and Europe, almost from time im memorial. Pestilence supposed to have been the plague prevailed in Athens 432-439 B. C. One historian calcu lates that one-fourth the population of Europe, or 35,000,000 persons, died in all the epidemics in the fourteenth cen tury. A very ; interesting ; account is given of the Z present epidemic of . the plague, : the first recorded instance of its occurrence in the Western Hemisphere being at Santos, Brazil, in October last. - The-opinion ia expressed that in the light of experience in other parts of the world it seems reasonable to believe that even were the disease introduced here its spread would be very limited in cities where the sanitary conditions are good and where the precautions as : to the isolation of patieats and .the segreffa- tions of those exposed to infection could and would be practiced. -'; The death rate varies in different " epidemics and is estimated at from 50 to 90 per cent. :j.H:Value:.or lllanuiaetures.''

The Jefferson ayla Monument. r At the last meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy at Kichmond, at the request of the United Veterans, the Daughters agreed to raise the necessary funds to complete the monument. . The veterans turned over to the' Daughters $20,465.31. In accordance with; this action, the president of the North Caro- lina division has issued the following circular letter: Mrs, John P. Allison, of Concord, N. C, having been appointed chairman of the Jefferson Davis Monument Commit tee, of the C. Div. U. D. C.,.wiU re ceive notices of the amounts raised for this purpose, or of sums of money held in bank by chapters or mdividuals for said purpose, that she may report the same at the next annual meeting of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Montgomery, Ala. , Nov. 1900. All chapters and individuals will be proper ly accredited with the amounts raised,' but it is deemed more desirable to con centrate all in one fund from the North Carolina U. D. C, this being the plan suggested by the other States. Mrs. John W. Hinsdale, Treasurer of the North . Carolina Division, will receive these sums, retaining them in bank . as North Carolina fund for the Jefferson Davis Monument. ..; - . ' It is earnestly hoped that the Daugh ters of the Confederacy will, with loving zeal, raise a sum sufficient to show forth the . respect and honor felt for the hrst and only President of the Confederate States of America. 1 : LlPA FUNSTALL HODMAN, - Pres.
