Editor Times-Visitor: Your suggestion
in halt unlay evenings paper was the
first itiniatiou that we have received
that we were expneted to turn out and
welcome the members of Co. K, First

home. As to the mutter of making all
the arrangements tc, we suggest that a
cinimi'ttee be apKiuted by our Mayor,
of say 25 citizens, to take hold of the
matter at once, and push it right
through.
It is a question, though, whether the
performance of as worn duty should be
rewarded by other than the means pre-
scriltcd by army regulations. However,
that may be, we will hold ourselves in
readiness to meet and greet them when
they come, not as ex-ooldnTS, but as re

COL 0L0S BACK.
He Reports a Delightful Trip to Cuba
aui Florida.
Col. Olds has returned from a trip
South, having spent a week in Cuba. He
was delighted with the country, but says
that he would not adrise any one to
go there to live unless the island becomes
American property. Some foods are
very dear, while fruits and other articles
are abundant and cheap. The Colonel
left Cuba Friday.
He says the First Begiment wants to
be mustered out in Savannah. If they
were mustered out here they would lose
$35,000 in mileage, which they will oth
erwise get. The boys also wish to have
their old places in the State Guard and
are much exercised over the report that
on returning home they will have no
standing in the guard and must disband.

PALMS IN THE TEMPLES.
Christ's Entry Into Jerusalem Figura
tively Commemorated.
Yesterday dawned with threatening
skies, but before the hours for the con
gregation to assemble the sun had emerg
ed and a more ideal spring Sunday could
hardly be imagined. Larfrely attended
services was the rule in the churches.
In the liturgical congregations it was
Palm Sunday and Christ's triumphant en
try into Jerusalem the week before his
Crucifixion was solemnly brought to
mind. In all the Episcopal churches and
at the Roman Catholic church spreading
palm branches were displayed in the
decorations of altar and chancel, and
in some of the congregations these em
blems were distributed to worshippers.
At the Church of the Sacred Heart
the servies for the beginning of Holy
Week were very impressive. St. Mat
thews account of the Savior's Pasion was
read in the Episcopal churches and
the services and musical selections were
in harmony with the lessons of Palm
Sunday.
A teacher at Garden City, said to her
primary class the other day: "If your
father gave your mother $7 today and $8
tomorrow, what would she have?" And

caused by speculation failure, which waa
the result of failure to see far enough
ahead." Atlanta Constitution.

His Subjects,
Mani a, March 27. At 5:23 this after
noon .Mac-Arthurs division spent the
night and morning at Maykawyan. Af
ter reconnoitering they pushed aloirg the
railroad this afternoon toward Malolas.
If the statement of thirty-five prisoners
is true the main body of the enemy has
retreated to Malolas. No more trenches
were encountered, although over thirty
villages, including the larger settlement
of Bulacan aud Guiguinto which inter
vene. Circulars were posted at every railroad
Btation signed by the Filipino commander
in chief, ordering all spies and bearer
from the enemy shot without trial and
instructing all looters and ravishers to
be treated in the same manner. The
circulars further say that all the towns
abandoned by the Filipinos must hrst
be burned. While deploring the exist
ence of war the circular maintains the
undeniable right of the Filipinos to de
fend their homes, their lives and their
lands against would-be dominators, who
will kill them, their wives and their
children, adding that this ought to impel
all the Filipinos to sacrifice everything.
MALABON EVACUATED.
The route to Malabon waa very pic
turesque. Thousands of men, women
and children, loaded with household goods
tramped across the swamps early this
morning The exploded Caisson railroad
bridge delayed the American advance.
Ten Oregonians while searching for two
comrades were killed in the early fight
ing, sneaked into the city and found the
place in a condition of choas. The inhabi
tants, seeing them, fled to Panto, think
ing that the American troops had taken
possession. The Americans did not oc
cupy Malabon, but are concentrating at
Malolas.
ALDEBMEN LIGHTS WATEB.
Mr. Editor: As your popular paper
seems to have been chosen as the vehi
cle by which all our people may exprvss
their preferences for those who are to
represent them in the new city govern
ment shortly to be selected, may I hum
bly k space in which to say a few
words V
To begin: Little has been said regard
ing the old stand-by, the second ward,
for "she" can always be relied upon to
do the thing that is just right and
orooer. W e have a
vast held of god
timber from which to select, but none
better than John C. Drewry, I. A.
Monde and Capt. C. B. Denson, not to
...jvn.tiin iuiapimi t nthnrti Of nftursp Mr.
Drewry's selection is a foregone con-
elusion. The fact is, 1 hardly see how
we can do without him. He is a man
who has every interest of the city at
heart, and, occupying the position he
does, at the head of the street com
mittee, with the best plan for the con
tinuaiuce of street improvement well
mapped out and digested, it would be
peculiarly unfortunate, if not border
ing on disastrous, were he to be sup
planted by some one who Has given the
matter of street improvement hardly a
thought, much less careful study. Th
truth is, all petty prejudices and jeal
ousies should be laid aside and he should
be retained. The writer of this desires
that Mr. Drewry reap the glory he de
serves in giving the finishing touches to
the business .he has in hand, for he has
had a burdensome job and endured many
censures while laying the foundation for
We must remember that "the world was
the grand work of street improvement,
not built in a day," and time is needed
in which to accomplish anything well.
There will be no difficulty in selecting
his running mate, for, as I have said, we
have plenty of good timber.
Now, 1 have nothing to do with the
first division of the third ward, but 1
will say that the names suggested are
every one good. Why there should be
any objection to W. E. Faison I cannot
for the life of me see. How even thers
can possibly be none raised to Joseph
L. Seawell and G. M. Spence. I may
not know, but I do not believe that two
better men could be found in the ward
or the whole city, as far that matter.
Every one wil have an opportunity to
advance their claims after the board is
elected. Anything said or done before
hand will have a tendency to tie the
hands of those who desire to run foi
Aldermen. None but true and life-Ion
Democrats, however, should be selected
to fill any office, either by the people
at the polls or 'by the Aldermen in their
different capacities for, as the lamented
Vance said, "the ox that pulls the plough
should haxve the fodder."
1 trust the first thing done by the new
board will be to take in hand the elec
tric lights and water supply, thereby
smashing ell humbug and forfeited con
tracts. I think the best plan to se
cure a plentiful supply of good pure
water would be by a system ow arte
sian wells. I wWh yon would agitate the
subject, for yon hare "agitated" to good
effect in other matters.
Very truly,
P. C. I.

der, Why is it dangerous in spring time to
wander
About out-of-dors? I hear some one sey:
"There is no danger at all, I pray."
But listen, and thensrou will find
The reason is this: The buds el shoot,
The. grass has blades, you'd better scoot!
The flowers have pistils, the danger
wholl doubt?

ORIGINAL IDEA.
Mr.
Dughi's Plan for Freezing Cream
by Electricity.
Mr. Dughi has hit upon a happy idea
in freezing cream by electricity. He
tried the plan for the first time Saturday
with great success. He froze fifteen gal
lons in 45 minutes. The capacity is now
dO gallons an hour. Two freezers are
operated at the same time. An electric
motor is placed in the corner of the room
aud furuishes power for turning the
freezers. All that is required is for the
man to arrange the freezers, touch the
button and in a few minutes the cream
is ready. It is a great labor-saving
invention.
FAIR TOMORROW.
The forecast of the weather bureau
for Raleigh and vicinity says generally
fair tonight and Tuesday.
A low area and storm has developed in
the southwest which has caused cloudy
and threatening weather, with occasion
al rains, in portions of the Mississippi
valley and middle Atlantic States. At
8 a. m. snow was falling over portions
of Kansas and western Texas. An area
of high pressure accompanied by a cold
wave is advancing over the far north
west, and temperatures of zero and be
low are reported from this section. The
temperature is falling rapidly over the
southewest.
HOWLED LUSTLY.
Wlmberly Got a Marriage License and
Paid the City $7.52:
Joseph Wimberly, a white man, aged
21, came to Raleigh Saturday and pro
cured a marriage license. His mission
in Raleigh was then accomplished and
he proceeded to become very drunk and
made the day hideous with his yells on
the street. He even tried to knock the
officer who interfered down. He was
placed in the station house, but Mayor
Powell released him yesterday, his
friends paying $7.25, in order not to
break up the marriage by the detention
of the bridegroom.

We oanot get our consent to believe
that mob murder is one of our per

South as it was in England four genera

known in England. The South has the
purest English, blood and tendencies, to
be found anywhere out of the mother

CAROLINA'S HERO
A Gallant Son Wins Fame
in the Philippines
Corporal Ashley P. Slocumb, of Golds
boro, now in the signal service at Ma
nila, in the course of a letter to his
father, published in the Grensboro Ar
gus, gives a bit of history which will be
read with pride by the people of North
Carolina. He writes:
"Towards day break on Sunday morn
ing, February 5th, the Montana's had
advanced as far as practicable, and an
our wire there ww in good order and
working smothly, we were ordered to
report lo the Kansas outpost, at Mala
bon car sheds and look alter the wire
there. It was at this point the hottest
engagement of the first two days took
place and it was UR-re that I first saw
the effective use of artillery in war.
The 20th Kansas, Col. Fuustou, had
engaged a large body of the enemy, and
they were having a pretty hard time of
it, when the Utah Light Artillery came
running up, took its position on a little
knoll and from there hurled death and
destruction into the ranks of the ene
my. felK'lls are the things to inspire the
souls of men with terror, and it took bui
a few doses of this kind of medicine to
make them break and fall in every direc
tion. This- was an advantage we were
not slow to follow up, and after giving
the lum a few minutes breathing spell,
the order was given to advance. Gen.
McArthur had instructed Capt. Russell
that us soou as the advance was order
ed, he was to make arrangements to
signal the Charleston, so she could pro
tect the advance with her guns. The
minute the order was received Capt.
Kussell turned to one of our detach
ment. "1'ouiiK." "Ves, sir." "Pre
sent uiy compliments to Lieutenant Gor
don, give him this message, and say that
Gen. McArthur wishes these orders ear
ned out immediately." "Yes, sir." A
salute aud he was gone. In order to get
this message to Lieutenant Gordon, he
had to cros- a place of nearly half a
mile in length, with virtually no pro
tection, aud in full view of the enemv.
He did it, aud did it successfully, and
a few minutes afterward the deep toned
roars ot the Uharleston s guns followed
by the unearthly screams of the shell!,
as. they flew over our heads, bore elo
quent testimony to that leffect. There
was one chance in a thousand he would
come out unharmed, but notwithstand-
ug the fact that he went under a
heavy cross tire from the enemy he came
out tiutouchtd, aud has proven to the
world that other States have their Hob-
soiis as well as Alabama. I sent you
his pisture about three weeks aeo. His
name is HirscheJl B. Young, of Shelby,
. lie nas maue a record that the
corps is proud of, his people will be
proud of, aud one that the veterans of
the gruud old State of North Carolina,
and, North Carolina herself, may well be
proud of. There are only eight South
ern men, out of the fifty-five in our
corps, and it gives me a thrill of Dar-
donable pride when I think the man
who was most highly commended of
them ail, was a Southern man. and a
North Carolinian to boot.
"1 was with Capt. Russel when he
gave Young his order. After he had
gone Capt. Russell turned to me and
said, "1 don't think Young relished that
commission much." I said, "mav be
not, sir, but you wil see he carries it
out. He looked ait me and said.
Why?" My reply was. "Because
North Carolina breeds that kind, sir."
Capt. Russell hails from Minnesota, and
it may not have sounded quite right
coming from me, a Corporal, but I knew
what North Carolina did in the last war,
and 1 judged, and judged correctly, that
she would do as much in this one when
it came to a pinch."

Raleigh, which took a conspicuous part
in the naval battle in Manila Bay on
May 1, will receive a royal welcome
weh nthey come to this part is now an
assured fact
Alderman John T. McCall will intro
duce a resolution at the meeting of the
Aldermen next Tuesday which, it ia
said, will be passed by both branches of
the Municipal Assembly and then signed
by Mayor Van Wyck providing for the
reception of the Raleigh and her crew
of fighters. Just what form the recep
tion will take, however, will not be de
termined until Tuesday. It is possible
that all the city officials, with Mayor
Van Wyck at the head, will go down
the bay when the Raleigh is sighted and
extend a warm welcome to Captain
Coghlan and his men.
"Bil writes from Texas," said the pa--rent
"that he's i jail ag'in an' he 'pears
to be hopeless over it. I wonder ef the
example of his family ain't tospirm' to
him? His grandfather broke jail six
times; his uncle dug out thre times, an'
they ain't a jail in the settlement that
kin hold any o' the rest o the family.
It's my opinion that Bill has failed from
trace." Atlanta Conatitqtion.
