Some of tha aallshnry People Hot About
It Ita History A Bad Game Off.
Special to the Observer.
Salisbury, May 16. The article pub
lished to-day in the Observer, also ia
the Richmond Dispatch, about the 8ixth
North Carolina Regiment flag being
given by Col. Samuel McD. Tate to the
State Axtiquarian Society, has stirred
up the mettle of some of the citizens here.
An article appears in this evening's Her
ald in which it ia ttited that the article
is misleading and in part untrue and de
serves the attention of our home people
and the Charles Fisher Camp of this
place. The regiment was formed here;
the firet colonel lived and is buried here;
his si3ter and daughter also lived here
and made the flag from a shawl pre
sented by Colonel Fisher to his
sister, ChrUtine, and when made by
them was presented ti the regiment
in the name of these ladies. The article
farther asserts, and justly so, that "it
would seem that these ladies and the
Charles F. Fisher Camp of Confederate
Veterans, who are the living representa
tives of the glorious old Sixth Regimett,
should be the proper custodian 6 of the
flag under which the regiment fought,
bled and died, and should, in fact, have
the disposal of it and not Col. Tate or
the State Society." Col. Tet9 has had
charge cf the flag. The ladies who made
it have asked him for it and had his pro
mise to return it, but he has failed to
do bo. Now his proposal to give it away
without their conaect is thought to be
radically wrong, and it is urged
that the camp demand the flag
Your correspondent has been aware tbtt
VI its Fisher has been making an effort
to gtt possession cf this flag for 6ome
t me, but was net ft libeity to give the
fact publicity. Is is hoped that Col. Tste
will yet decide to restore the fljg to itB
proper place, and that the camp here
will have the honor of possessing this
historic remnant of the grett civil strife.
At the me.iticg of the chamber of com
merce this a t irnoon to discuEs the mat
ter cf the Thompson schnol, Mr. M. C
Qiina, seen t vry, repot t d that he was in
correspondence w th Mr. Thompson to
know what consideration he wanted frcm

Uttil Mr. Thompson is heard from the
matter will remain in statno quo. An
other meeting of the chamber, however,
will be held soon to farther discuiB the
enterprise.

ness. The Salisbury boys had made
every preparation for the game and ar
ranged to entertain Concord's team and

Bsaiaoaa Changes at Ha. Airy Schools
Closing Preparations tmt tho Sammar
Visitors.
Correspondence of the Observer,
Mt. Airt, Hay 15. A new-comer on s
visit to his old home waa asked if the
people in Mt. Airy had much capital.
He replied: "They don't seem to have a
great deal of cash, but they can make a
dollar do more work in that town than
in any place; I have struck yet." Our
folks do believe in quick tradea, and
when we can't get outsiders to take a
hand we trade among ourselves. J. P.
L Arm field and W. F. Gilmer have pur
chased the mercantile business of D. A.
fiawley, assigned.
At a trustee's eale on last Saturday,
John L. Worth became the purchaser of
the Farmers' Warehouse, at the price of
$1,280 Tho former owner, Mr W. D.
Poor, has leased the house and will con
tinue the business with Mr. James Jessup
as partner.
The time for closing the schools is at
hand and the children are deligtted.
Miss Gilmer's tchool closed la6t Friday
and the principal gave the girls a good
time by taking them on a picnic to Green
Hill. Miss Graves' school closes on the
18th and the pupils of the literary and
musical departments will join in giving a
conceit. Prof - 8parger's boys will not
get out until the 22 ad.
We are getting ready for the summer
visitors. Prof. Bntner, of Salem, is put
ting the pianos in tune not only in the
hotels but iu tho private houses as well.
The grass is green and growing, the
bloom is on the ry; fried chickens are
now almcTst ripe, nor roosting very high;
green peas are fresh and tinder, spring
lamb is very fict; tomtty plants are
bloomiDg and the t qnaeh is on the vine.
And on the tables of our hotels and
bearding houses you will always find
"the best the country sffordf ."
L. W. Aehby's Sons, whose factory
was burned in the early spring, have
leased the building formerly occupied by
W. E Patterson & Co., and will con
tinue their business of making plug to
bacco. The physicians of the city held a mett-
! lrg koflday looking to the orgauizttion

The Cultured Dr. Maurice Moore.
To-the Editor of the Observer:
In your to-day's istue, under the head
ing, "A Scotch Divine's Gratitude," re
ference was made to a pamphlet once
seen by Mr. Thomas S. Aithur, at the
house of Dr. Maurice Moore, of Glenn
Springe, 8. C. It contained "a sketch of
the life of Col. Lacy, by Dr. Moore, a
grand uncle of the writer, and is now, or
was, in my possession. Dr. Moore was
a gentleman of the old school, humorist
and antiquarian, thoroughly informed in
the history and folk-lore of his native
State of South Carolina.
Having spent a part of his youth in
Charlotte, he knew much of her early
history, and could reel many a yarn
of Mecklenburg tradition.
Charlotta, May 16. M. C. D.
A Word for Sacred Concerts.
To the Editor of the Observer:
I hope the 4G's will have sacred con
certs at the park every Sunday after
noon. The park ia the Saratoga' of the
plain and poor people. It is the only
Bummer or health resort they are able to
reach. There is no trouble about those
who have large yards, spacious veran
dahs and plenty of shade to be comfort
able on hot days. I don't believe God
ever it. tended to make Sunday a day of
torture or roasting for anyone. I believe
firmly that Sunday was made for man
and not man for Sunday; neither do I
believe it is a sin to listen to out-door
music of a sacred nature even in a park
There is no commandment in the Deca
logue against healthful recreation or
sacred music.
Dr. Preston Cpheld.
To the Editor of the Observer:
I read with pleasure in the morning
paper Dr. Prettan's protest against Sun
day attractions at the park. I join my
protest with his and plead for a quiet,
holy Sabbath. W. C. T. U.
