The Army Poet May be Named the Worth Bagle r Post--People of the State Deeply Interested . The Morning Post yesterday, soon fter the report of the death of Ensign Worth Bagley was confirmed, suggest ed the erection of a suitable monu ment to record his heroic death. This was warmly participated in by the large crowd gathered about the Post bulletin board and before the paper had gone to press $81.76 was subscribed. In order that this fund may be shar ed in as largely as possible by all classes of our citizens, It has been deemed wise to ask no subscription from any one individual In excess of one (11.00) dollar. All. day long today volunteer sub scriptions have been coming in and the amount will be more than doubled In the morning report. This evening the Times-Visitor re ceived the following telegram from Ashevtlle: Ashevllle, N. C, Mar 13.-Otlse opens subscription list to the monu ment for Bagley at Raleigh. CITIZEN. There Is no doubt but that a spon taneous response will come from every city, town and hamlet In the good old State, and the result will be a band some shaft erected at Raleigh com memorative of the hero of Cardenas. It has been suggested also that a military company to be called the Worth Bagley Guards be organised In Raleigh, his birth place and home In honor of the young officer who as gallantly fought and gave up his Ufa for his country. Again some of our spirited olttsana have aroused their best energies In hastening the subscriptions to guar antee the Army Post at this place) and It will be recommended that the Poet when located here be oalled Worth Bagley Post. All theee and even more may well be oarrled Into successful accomplish ment aa marks of esteem to the first naval officer who fell In this war with Spain. Let Raleigh and her people push all these suggestions forward and our sis ter cities will be glad to send their aid. This monument is to be erected by popular subscriptions from one cent to one dollar. No person will be per mitted to subscribe more than one dol lar. It Is suggested that every school In North Carolina secure one cent sub scription from the pupils that every child may have an Interest In the) shaft. DON'T LIKE BEEF ANYWAY.
