Bond, once staff officer in Daniel's brigade, published this historical essay in defense of the yalor cf the soldiers of North Carolina, who seemed to be 'gnored or treated unfairly by the accounts giver of the great charge at Gettysburg. Capt. Bond has revised and enlarged the work and shows clearly and convincing ly that at the charge of Gettysburg Pettigrew's men went farther and lost larger than any other troops on the field. Capt. Bond has told his story in a most attractive way and the work has already met with great favor by the press and by individuals interested in the facts about the great aid mem orable battle and the brave soldiers who fnngbt through it or fell on the field. The work is a valuable contribution to history and is well worth the price, whether to an old soldier or one who wishes to learn true history. The price is 25 cents. It was printed and bound by The Commonwealth, and the neat ness of the work has already cai'ed forth pleasant comments by the press. uopies may be had by writing to Capt, W. R.

Correspondence to The Commonwealth. Littleton. N. C, June 5, 1S00. One of the greatest commencements the college has ever had has just closed. The Elocution! Recital on Tuesday evening was very fine. The annual sermon on Wednesday morning by Dr. W. W. Bays on "The Suffering of Christ and the Redemption of Woman" was of surpassing eloquence and marvelous in beauty. The address by Dr. .Bumpass on Wed nesday evening before the Missionary society made a fine impression. It was not only chaste and scholarly but highly ipstructive. The graduating essays on Thursday morning were unusally fine and the pleasing and attractive manner In which. they were delivered -was spoken of by every one. They went in reality among J the best we haye ever heard. Literary address by Dr. ti. A. Steele was much enjoyed. He is known throughout the South to be a yery fine platform speaker. The annual concert Thursday even ing was by every token a success. Those who took part acquitted them selves in such a way as to reflect credit on their instructors and on the institu tion. President Rhodes reported the most successful year and by very much th largest attendance In the history of the institution. The friends ot Littleton Female Col lege rejoice in the fact that her prospects were neyer brighter than at this time and they are justly proud of the good work she is doing.

The newspapers of this congressional district are quite complimentary lo Mr. Claude Kitchin as the Democratic standard-bearer. We quote a tew from their reference to the congressional convention and Mr. Kitchin's nomina tion : The Democratic party of this dis trict put forth as their standard-bearer that sturdy young Democrat and elo quent campaigner, Claude Kitchin, cf Halifax, who ia just passed his thirty first birthday. He is handsome in face and physique, with clearout feat ures, bearing a marked resemblance to Congressman' Bailey, ot Texas, and when elected will be in Congress with his brother, W. W. Kitchin, Repre sentative fron the Fifth district. He is a pure, upright man. Wilson Newp. The choice is a good one. Mr. Kitchin is a brilliant young man, so ciable, kind, pleasant and greatly es teemed by these who know him most intimately, and a Democrat of the purest type, with no such word as fail in bis vocabulary. He is sure to represent this district in the next Con gress this district that has been so humiliated bv its representative in Congress of recent years and in former years. Kitchin is going to be elected and you can bet your bottom dollar on that. Hurrah for Kitchin ! War renton Record. However convinced some may be that Mr. Gilliam should have been chosen to lead the fight, it is most true that Mr. Kitchin is an excellent man and a splendid campaigner, young though he is. He will receive a cordial support from this county. Tarboro Southerner. While we regret more than we can express that the convention did not see fit to honor Wilson county with the nomination, we feel it made no mistake in the selection of Mr. Kitchin. Braye, fearless, able, eloquent, a Democrat who stands for and clo?e to the people, be will not only be elected, but will make an ideal repre sentative, and Wilson county will give him a rousing majority. Wilson Times. Of course Northampton people re gret that our countyman, Capt. Pee bles, failed of the nomination for Con gress, but we realize that the Golds boro convention nominated one of the strongest men in the distiict in the person of Mr. Claude Kitchin, of Halifax. Mr. Kitchin is one of the strongest representatives ot the young Democracy of tbeState and will make a brilliant and successful canvass. He is a man who, will grow stronger as he goes among the pleple. Roanoke Chowan Timet. .: COL. T. L. JSMRY'S GALLANTRY AT MALVERN HILL. LoDlgTllle Courier-Journal. When the parade of veterans passes beneath the arch on Friday there will be many of more exalted rank than Col. Thod. L. Emry marching before the reviewing stand, but not one in the long line of gray more deserving of honor. Col. Emry, who is on the staff of Gen. Carr, has the distinguished honor ot having been promoted from the rank of private to that of captain by virtue of unusual gallantry in time of action. There is not a more splendid chapter in the records of the civil war than that wnich chronicles the story of Col. Emry's daring at Malvern Hill. It reads like a romance of wildest fic tion. His company "C," Twelfth North Carolina, was the color company, In that dreadful fight and every man in the company save one was either killed or wounded. Col. Benj. O. Wade refers to Col. Emry's conduct in terms of un stinted praise. In his official ieport be says : "The nob'e daring ot Private T. L Emry won the admiration of all his command, he having seized the flag and rushed through the shower of bul lets to the brow of the hill and there waved it defiantly in the enemy's face until it and the staff were completely riddled." One who is in position to know the facts stated that the flag staff in the brave soldier's hands was shot In two three times and the banner was pierced with more than 150. bullet holes. Col. Emry was himself wounded three times during the episode, but fortunate ly recoverered to receive the honor he so well deserved. Since the war bis fel low citizens have heaped honors upon him and he holds many positions of trust. He has been prominent In Confederate circles, in politics and in the development of the resources ot bis native State. . It is due to his bard work of four years that the Water Power Company of his home city, Roanoke Rapids, has become the lar gest in the State. He enjoys the es teem and admiration of those who know him and has kept up his fine record made in war time. TEACHER8 ASSEMBLY.
