The annual meeting of Cabarrus Camp United Confederate Veterans was held in the city hall this morn ing. In the absence of the commander, Capt. H. B. Parks, Esq. C. A. Pitts, presided over the meeting. The chaplain, Rev. Jacob Simpson, was absent, and Mr. J. C. Thompson led in prayer. The old officers were re-elected and the lisual routine of work transacted. Mr. Jno. D. Barrier, of Charlotte, the historian of the Camp, read his annual historical paper. Fifteen vet erans have crossed over the river since last meeting. Mr. Barrier's pa per will be published in full tomor row. ' Mr. Barrier also offered the follow ing resolution which was unanimously adopted : ' We, the members of Camp No. 212, U. C. V., of Cabarrus, in annual meet ing take this occasion to record our protest against a paragraph on page 558 of Elson's history of the United States and declare our conviction that on account of this paragraph, if no other reason, it should not be used as a text book in any public or private school, for the reason that it magnifies an evil out of all propor tion and tends to put the blush of slianie on the brow of posterity for JOJ X-IJSOJUH UJOII10 JlOI) UI SJIAO which only a small class is responsi ble, these evils, too, being no less despicable than those for which the author could have branded other sec tions of the country than the South. The paragraph referred to is as follows : "The most revolting feature of slavery in America, one that he his torian blushes to record (but history must deal with facts), was that too often the attractive slave woman was a prostitute to her master, that her children bore the stamp of his counte nance; and yet according to the in flexible rule of slave states, they shar ed the condition of their mother and were sold by their father. This evil was widespread in the South, as the mixed condition of the .black race to. day will testify. A sister of Presi dent Madison declared that though the Southern ladies were compliment ed ..wifH -the-naroft of, wife, they were only mistress of seraglios. A lead ingSouthern lady declared to Harriet Martineau that the wife of many a planter was but the chief slave in his harem. Some slave owners, however, cont'd not bea'the thought of selling their own children, and they planned foiftheir ultimate freedom. But the deh of the piaster often caused his plans to miscarry." Ji it were a necessary part of -history to use the "muck rake" for the different sections, we would enter no protest against the approach to this slimy quagmire, but when the author says it was widespread in the South we,' protest that he is false and we deny that the mixed condition of the black race is in more than a small de gree due to this indefensible evil. The quotations from two Southern ladies bear the marks of radical expression rather than logical analysis. The closing sentence makes "way for the author in his bias to narrate a most pathetic incident made possible by the laws of the land and merciless and inhuman greed, not one whit more conspicuous and prevalent in the South than in other parts of the coun try of which he pretends to write a true, and impartial history. From the foregoing considerations, Resolved, that we, wlii have faced the dangers and trials of warfare for our beloved South and are more than overjealous for her fair name, do re spectfully urge the disuse of a book so manifestly unfair to our section. Resolved further, , that being so lacking in propriety in this instance, we suspect that the author's asserted knowledge in his delineations of char acters as well as many other interest ing features of his history may have the same tinge of bias and inaccuracy. Senator Simmons' Position Justified Mr. E. B. Jeffries, Haleigh corres pondent of the Asheville Gazette- News, writes an follows to nis paper: "When the spe6al session of Con ferees adjourns this week it is expect ed tha Senator Simmons, who has stuck closely to his job in the senate will return to the state and take up some matters in connection witih his campaign for re-election. The friends of Senator ; Simmons bone express themselves as pleased' with the stand that the senator has taken in the special session; they contend that in the adoption of the farmers' free list bill the position of Senator Simmons in regard to reciprocity has been jus- ' tifled. . h- ::. . , FACTS ABOUT THE LYCEUM. As Educational Work, Seeking the Social -Ctrle and M tral Uplift of the People. a It is an inspirational and educa tional work, seeking the social, civic and moral uplift of the people. It is a movement reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Lakes to the Gulf. Started in Boston by two or three men forty years ago, it now in cludes thousands of men and women, who are seeking to promote its inter ests There "Were fifteen thousand ly ceum courses in the country last year, and not more than one thousand of this number were in the South. The lyceum is strongest in the Middle West. The summer cautauquara are also strongest there. Seven hundred and fifty thousand people attended the Nebraska chautauquas last year, and fully a million people were in at tendance at the Iowa chautauquas. The lyceum is thoroughly organiz ed, and the leaders are men 'of the highest ideals who are seeking to build a great institution. The lyceum includes professional talent only. It guarantees the character of its pro grams and its people. The greatest and best men and women of the na tion are in the work and many be lieve the lyceum platform the only absolutely free platform in existence. The lyceum is not a show. It does not seek to compete with them. It's work is constructive, like that of the school. It is no longer a question of wheth er a community wants a lyceum or a chautauqua, but can a community which has a proper regard for the aesthetic and and civil and social sides of life do without a lyceum f The lyceum fills a necessity as the church does. The people generally are awakening to this fact. Iiet all good citizens of Concord help to arouse the remaining indiffer ent ones. Let all join in making Con cord a genuine lyceum center. Killed in Explosion. Anderson, S. C, Aug. 7. In an ex plosion at tlhe Anderson county hos pital thisvafternoon, Miss Mabel Car penter Thompson, the superintendent, was fatally burned; Mies Josie Moi fett of Due West, a nurse in the hos pital, who was attracted by the re port of the explosion and who came to give assistance, was badly burned on her hands and arms; and Charles Y. Barnes, the hospital orderly, who held the kerosene lamp when it ex ploded, (received an ugly gash in his head and was badly burned on his arms, 'hands and face. Miss Thompson died tonight at 8:45 o'clock. Miss Moffetit and the negro orderly are painfully injured, and areoonfiened to their beds, but they ere expected to be back at their work within the next week or ten days. The explosion occurred when the orderly was pointing out to a plumber a defect iu the primer kerosene lamp, winch is used to 'heat the sterilizing machine. The negro pumped air into the lamp to show where it was leak ing. Some screw abouit the lamp must have been loose, for the explosion followed, hurling the top of the lamp toward Miss Thompson who was look ing on. Kept Big Too Long; Assaulted. Raleiglh, N. C, Aug., 6. With blood streaming from two gashes in his head and from a dozen shot wounds in his back, John Hatcher appealed to the police this morning for medical at tention. He said J. H. Council and son, Swaney Council, farmers living near Raleigh, met him in the road and beat him terribly, and then shot him as he ran, because he bad stayed out longer than they thougbt.be qught to with their hraee and buggy. Hatcher savs the elder Council cov ered him with a gun while bis son knocked him out of the buggy and beat him. He says the son finally took the gun from the old man and struck him twice over the bead with the butt of it and shot him as he ran away, .tia toner a wounas are serious. Going on Norfolk Excursion.

Discussing the drought in North Carolina and the dedicated region around North Charlotte, The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot declared it ."a waste bare of rows rare as the spot from world's convention OF TEE ZIONISTS. Looking for the Restoration of Jaro . talon to tho Sons of Abraham. Basle, Switzerland, Aug. 8. The World's Convention of Zionists is to begin Its sessions here tomorrow. About 400 delegates have arrived and several hundred more are expected. Both the United States end Canada will be represented. This is the fourteenth annual con gress to be held by the International Federation of Zionists. The gather ings have always attracted leading men of the Hebrew faith, and its somewhat sentimental and romantic propaganda the restoration of Jeru salem to the sons of Abraham but really, at the bottom, as a stern busi ness and philanthropic proposition, has created world-wide speculation as to the ultimate faite of the scheme. "Zionism," as the movement is called, by which, it promoters de clare, the Jewish- problem Is to be solved that is, mhe future of the op pressed Jew of Russia and elsewhere is to be provided for has met with opposition from prominent men of Jewish clergy and laity. The present congress promises to be enlivened by the criticism of some of those who have been active workers for the cause, but who now are said to be dissatisfied with the way the movement has been directed by the older leaders. Some of the delegates do not hesitate to declare that unless radical changes are made the whole movement is likely to prove nothing more than a dream, as its opponents have always predicted. It is 'pointed out by those who be lieve that a thorough reorganiaition is needed that although the Zionists through their international and na tional organiations have been labor ing assiddously for many years to re habilitate the Hebrews again into a nation, and there have been numerous congresses to this end, until noth ing really definite has been accom plished. On the other hand, the leaders who have directed tflie affairs of the or ganization since the death of Theodore Herel, the founder of the movement, declare that much has been accom complished within the past few years and they hint that, in view of the reports to be made to the present con gress, the dissatisfied element will ral ly to the standard, creating a solidar- ,ty so powerful in numbers anl wealth that success will be assured. ; Not Known Hero. t The press dispatches contain an ac count of the killing of his sweetheart ' hmtiutr b omf Albert "O.

Vice-President Writes Letter Lament ing Reciprocity Fears Calamity. New York, Aug. 6. James S, Sher man, Vice-President of the United States, today gave his consent to the publication of a letter addressed to Wilbur F. Wakeman, general manag er and treasurer of the American Pro tective Tariff League, which those who have already seen it assert will cause comment. It reads: "Washington, D. C, Aug. 5, 1911. "What you say in the article, it seems to me, is very sensible. The seeming trend away from protection, in my judgment, is but temporary. Be fore our people get back to the old moorings, however, we may be forced through a period of depressions. I trust that this trying experience will not be required to awaken the Ameri can people to the monstrous import ance (to them) of the continuance, in a wholesome and adequate degree, of a wide and non-sectarian protection to all our interests. "If the people do not awaken to the situation prior to the time the pro tection props are knocked from be neath our economic structure, with the fall of that structure will come a condition, painful though it be. which will, as heretofore, bring the people to their senses and cause them to return to their old moorings with wonderful unanimity, with great force and all the haste possible under our constitutional methods. "I look with great sadness upon this seeming trend at the present, but my hope for the future is optimistic. Very cordially yours. '"J. S. SHERMAN." Lively Politics in Maryland.

' North Carolinians Will Oppose OetUa Schedule Rarlaloa, ' - Washington, Aug. 7. FoW promi nent Mortn Carolina cotton man will appear before the Senate fiaaaea oca mittee tomorrow to make atatew U in regard to the bill for the revision of the cotton schedule now pending ia the Senate. J. W. Cannon, of Concord, who k a director in twenty cotton mills, ar rived in Washington today. Others who will reach here tomorrow are W. A. Erwin, of Durham, manager of the Erwin mills, some twelve in all; S. L. Patterson, manager of the Roanoke Rapids cotton mills, and Stuart W. Cramer, of Charlotte, chairman of the tariff committee of the American Cot ton Manufacturers k Association. The attitude of the mill men is that the cotton schedule should not be changed at this time in view of exist ing conditions in the cotton industry. The mills in the South are making no money and fear the effect of the tar iff pruning knife. It is practically conceded now that the cotton bill will pass the Senate. A number of insurgent Republicans are even more desirous of having the cotton schedule revised than they were to bring about revision of the wool schedule. Bishop Fitzgerald Dead.
