Line of march was to the Salem cemetery, where the graves of the dead heroes of the Confederacy were! decorated with flowers, sent in by tha pupils of the' East Winston (Traded school and others who love to honor the memory of the men who wore Mm grey. At the conclusion of the exercises at the cemetery, the great throng re turned to the court house, where they Intently listened for an hour to a magnificent address by General W. R. Cc, of Edgecombe county. General Cox discussed North Carolina's devotion-, loyalty and consistancy, trails which be said her people loved and maintained. The speaker referred to' the State's rapid advancement along Industrial and educational lines. He spoke of the prominent part she took in the Civil war. He said that women of North Carolina were responsible fur1 the patriotism displayed by the men. ' He favored teaching the rising generation that tha men who fought - for their principles had nothing to re gret. He believed1 that the war de veloped ' the manhood of the country He referred to the pluck and indomlt' able will power of the " Confederate soldiers and said: "I wish somebody would taks up the question, 'What has the Confederate soldier done since the war?' He has filled every place of "honor without graft or speculation." Continuing General Cox said: "V:ien I see a man wrap himself up ill a United States flag and say that hp loves the old flag and country ber ter than anybody, 1 am persuaded to believe that the man's knees have given away and that he wants an office.",..:.- , ; ,: '."') -.' Children Recite. At the conclusion of eiieral Cox's magnificent address four children, members of Miss Jennie Hu ford's ' elnss at the North Winston school, recited- in- concert to the delight of the' entire audience the "Sword of Lee." The bright little entertainers were: Mabel Thomas. Lillian Newell, Fred Diigglw and Hughes Shelton records show that the losses were heavy compared ith those suffered by the city which has tho protection of I he Arc department. The fire which caused the most damage was the blaze In Schoulcr's Department Store on October 13. The damage was caused mostly by smoke, tho flames never having spread from the basemwit where the fire originat ed. The Are department records plac ed tho done-at $14,000. No other fire during the above-mentioned period caused a loss or as much as $2.o0. The fire In the J. W. Hester Com pany store on Trade street, while one of the most stubborn tho firemen were culled upon to extinguish, en tailed a very small loss." Not a single manufacturing plant was burned during the period. Five stores suffered from fires three of them being small concerns. The re maining fires were In dwellings, with the exception of one oil house, one stack of hay, one livery stable and one barn. ' , A majority of the fires were caused by carelessness in one way or anoth er, defective flues being a very Im portant factor In these fires. A ma jority of the false alarms were caus ed by chimneys burning out. The records show that the Winston fire department was called out to help catch a burglar op April 20 last. The' records, however, fail to state wnat the department accomplished on this cocas Ion. Insurance, carried on the buildings destroyed came very near covering the losses sustained', though no Insur ance was carried on several ot tne buildings. The department la In first class shape now and comprises the follow ing apparatus:'' Three steamers, two horse-hose wagons, two hook and Iaa- der trucks, 0,000 feet of bose, one hand reel, 8 head, of horses and a olunteer membership of ubout nine ty men. , The officials of the department are: Chlei, A.

Watson made a pleasing address before the badges of honor were presented to members ot the camp, whose records during the war were commendable. Mr. W'atson, whom every veteran In Forsyth loves and delights to bear speak, asked the "boys" -to Hive the old rebel yell in response to a request from some of the school children. It Is needless to say that the boys responded. They Salem Keeps Up Her Good Record. The municipality of Salem has kept up Its leinarkablo record for , small fire, loss a , record which has been discussed in all parts of the country. Daring the year, however, there was one fire In Salem which caused con Biddable damage, this being .the fire in the F. & H. Fries' woolen mills. While there were several other alarms sent In from that town during the period none of them were of much Importance.

PANAMA CAfJAL MATTERS The report' of Chairman Shontu, of the Panama Canal Commbwlon, was turned over by him to tho secretary of war recently, and given to the public n day or iwo ago. Following it the conclusion of Mr, Sltontii' report, this giving a good summary ot the Impres sions gained .by him during bis rocert visit to Panama; ...j,;,,..,'',,-,:,.,: "The results already obtained justl- iy lue policy uwiutti tiiuii Muniig my flrst trip to the Isthmus, and1 briefly outlined in my report to the president under date of August 12, 1905. .In that report I, called attention to the. fact that' the serious ' mistake ' which had been- made trj) to that time was in at tempting "to make the dirt fly" in advance of thorough -preparation, and Informed fihe president that instruc tions had been issued to close down the work of excavation, except In so far as was necessary to put the cuts In proper shape for the Installation of the maximum numbei" of steam shovels for economical service.' "The work of canal construction Hvldes kseif properly into two parts, one of which must precede the other. "First, thorough preparation. This includes the creatlpn of an effective organization; the sanitation of 1 the Isthmus; providing suitable quarters and food for employees; constructing proper terminal, .yard, and railway track facilities and Intermediate yards 'or the handling of the vast' quantities it supplies and materials; the Installa tion of -a syst'era of tracks through the iuts; t:io working out of all engineer ing problems, and the formulation of 1 comprehensive plan for carrying for ward the work in each department. "Second, the actual construction of a given typo of canal. ' ' "The work of preparation Is at once the more important and the more dif ficult of these two tasks. If It be not done thoroughly, ' intelligently, and well In every part, the second task that of actual construction will be handicapped from the ; start. The launching of every" great enterprise; ..he creating of an organization with which to carry on the work, is always the most difficult part ot It. Once that has been accomplished successfully, the subsequent task - of execution is iomparatlvely easy. This-preliminary itago Is nearing completion on the Is thmus. Inspection during this last visit showed that the many intricate problems connected with the engineer ing branch of this task have been worked out, that in many . other de partments the preliminary work has been completed, and each week is wit .rofc'slng its completion In others. Other neceary wcrk will ' occupy the organization- to advantage for a short time to come, but at the present ate of progress the time is fast ap .HOacuiug when decision as to type jf canal will be essential to the con tinuation of work. : ' Finally, the most Important and pressing question before the commis sion today 1s a decision In regard to -he type of canal to be constructed. Chief Engineer' Stevens pointed out o'mo the route of several diversion ihunnols the construction of which' 3hmtld be" underway, but .which he iannot continence' until the type -of ?nnal is decided upon., We have also in : mind certaini other Intermediate yards which -we cannot locate until that decision is reached. We are also holding back the improvements at La Boca (the Pacific terminus), both as .o lermliKit yards and the extension jf the steel pier, already referred to, not knowing whether or not the type lecided on will cause us to abandon ill these Improvements. The extent and character of additional machinery to be used as well as the extent and character of 'additional equipment to be purchased, are all awaiting the letet rrnatlon. of this most Vital ques tion, and Inasmuch as all this machin ery and equipment must be manufac tured to order in the United States, and manufacturers in almost every branch are filling their books with srdera months ahead, the delay: in reaching a decision as to type may aiean a very serious delay In getting the necessary plant, and thus ulti mately mean serious delay In the construction of the canal." DEATH OF MRS. P. D. BILES. Mother of Rev. W. M. Biles Passes Away After Long Illness. The many friends here of Rev. W. M. Biles, pastor of the M. JS. church it Kernersvllle, will be pained to learn of the grief that has come to him by the death of his mother, Mrs. P. D. Biles, which occurred at her home- in Palmervllle, N. C, Tuesday afternoon, May 8. The Kernersvllle News says: All of nef children, three sons, were ,at her bedside when the end cam-e.' Her son. Mr. Trux Biles, ar rived from Indian Territory a few minutes before his mother's death and was recognized by her, who was in the grasp of death at the time ot his irrival. The husband preceded her to the better land a number of years ago. The funeral "services were conduct ed ' from the Ebenezer Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at' 3 o'clock, and the remains were laid to rest in the church graveyard.

There la a feeling that General Greely would naturally desire to con tinue In control of the situation, but it is felt that the responsibility for whatever Is done hereafter should rest with the citizens or their special committee and the local police courts, with the employment of the army only to eitch an extent as Js absolutely necessary. It Is realized in Washing ton that the soldiers must continue to act aa guards In the night time In some places, but- It Is believed that the citizens have the situation weH in hand .and should be allowed to con-. duct the work of restoration without the employment of the army. , No one In the war department has much-of an idea of what has been ex pended out of military supplies on ac count of San- Francisco. ' Supplies such aa tents, sloves, etc., 'hlch can not be used again, will represent a loss of that material to the army, and It Is roughly estimated that the amount Involved will not be much I less than I2.000.0O0. There Is some embartasment to the service by rea on ot the Issue of all the tents In stock. If another calamity were to come the war department would be powerless1 to render much help In the way of temporary shelter. There are no' surplus tents, and It will take iome time to restock the depots with those articles, as the eupply of duck lssarce. The tents cannot be used again for the reason that they will be too' badly Injured, or destroyed by their present use. r PICKED UP THE MERCHANT.
