Will Fashion Chance
—^—When wiU-the—fashion in liand--
writting change again? And when
it does change will it be for some
thing more awful than the present
atrocious KnglisTi chirography
scrawled with the brutal stub pen?
There was a time, and not so many
vears ago, when milady wrote with
a fine running hand, that breathed
of sentiment and romance, of lov
eis' lanes and trystiug places, and
had just a whif of lavender or orris
root. Interesting letters, too, with
news and gossip about one's friends:
not scintillating with sarcastic wit
and cotnuienty but redolent of a
quaint humor that left a smile be
hind. And those letters were kept,
too, in fat little bundles and tied
with slowly fading ribbons to de
light the readers of future genera
tions in an art that has fled.
No one writes letters nowadays:
it takes too much time even to
scratch a careless note with flippant
"hastily vours," for in these days
of progress the telephone is always
at ones elbow, time is precious,
and besides—we have forgotton
how.

Women ot The Confederacy.
The proposition by J. W. Bailey
for the erectioh of a monument in
capitol square to the memory of the
women of the confederacy is one
that should and of course will meet
with the universal approval and
support of the people of North Car
olina, practically all of whom are
sons and daughters or grandsons
and granddaughters of the womer,
of the confederacy.
The women who gave their hus
bands, fathers, brothers, sons, to
the lost cause and sat at home and
worked and worked in the awful
loneliness of the deserted hotne with
aching hearts and heavy eyes and
tired, bauds and vfcak bodies poorly
nourished and worse clothed that
they might make the lot of the
loved ones in the field and on the
road a little easier, and then, after
the awful, dreaded line had appear
ed in the fatal newspaper 1 i.^t, kept
right on working for somebody
else's dear ones, those women were
heroes whose lines were in a hard
er role than the soldier i» the open,
with the physical exertion to give
him sweet sleep in any event and
prevent the ravages of a tortured
nervous system.
And not only was the heroism of
those women harder, but it was
without the stimulant of battle ex
citement or encouragement in
praise of superior officers or cheers
of troops. It was potent in silence
behind closed doors and window
shutters. The blessings of the
men in the camps when they re
ceived the warm socks or iliirts iti

Mr. Frank Boyle Dead
The death of Mr. Frank Boyle,
which occurred at Ba. m. yester
day was not a surprise to his
friends. For mouths artificial res
piration had served to keep him
alive. |fe had suffered long with
heart disease, and had sought re
lief from noted specialists, but
none could be found.
Mr. Boyle had been engaged in
the lumber business nearly his
whole life, and for years lived at
Brunswick, Ga , where he had ex
tensive plants. Several years ago
he came back to North Carolina
and engaged in milling at Jatnes
ville, N. C., where he died.
He was a man of splendid parts,
InteTlecTual , firm in his friendships
and courtly in his bearing toward
others. He died as he had liveS,
loved and honored by a host of
friends and relatives in this and
other states. He was a devout
christian, and was devoted to every
interest of the church. In her
coiWiss he ever took a leading
part, and died strong in "the faith
! once delivered to the saints." He
I was lay reader for many months
before his illness at the Church of
the Advent, and took a delight in
serving the congregation.
His body will be laid among the
sainted dead in the yard of Grace
Church at Plymouth today, where
he hadjtived and worshipped when
a boy and man. *
His wife, one brother and foui
sisters are left to mourn their loss.
