' I esteeW it an honor to speak to you .Upon this Memorial Day: first of all . -and chiefly' of course because this is the anniversary upon which we com memorate the' deeds of valor of the ons of the South who gave up their lives for their section of the couutry in , .a war which involved the preservation f the rights reserved to the states in the Constitution. I am glad also to sreak to you today because I know from history and the records of- the war, that some of the most gallant soldiers of the Confederate army who aerYed long and failhfully in the war letwcen the States were citizens of Craven county and this section of North Caroling and I desire' with' yott to-day to do them honor as well -sm to honor all the heroes of the Con federacy living or. dead." Continuing ' he t61d in a graphic manner of. the valor of the soldiers of the South and to the devotion of the Southern-Women. He referred brief ty to the story of those four long years ' 'when oftentimes amid disaster and de Jeai the indojriitable Spirit of the South refused to surrender - and sent fresh thousands of her- sons to die upon the liundreid. of t battlefields -for, a" cause vjvhkh was lost and in conclusion spoke j ""'"vtt V i jtA ,the new South and its m t V'"".', "-The speaker said that the ! marvelous Southern men '.were notf. outclassed in - fighting Juridgthe war between the States but bjrt they were- simplly overpowered.

CHARLES R. THOMAS Who Delivered the Memorial Day Address at the Masonic Opera House Yesterday Afternoon. ing orders of the commanding gen eral. North Carolina has always been for peace but in war she has been fore most and in the civil war she bore off the palms. " In a striking manner he portrayed the condition of the South at the close of the war telling of the scenes which confronted them as they marched sadly homeward after the surrender at Appomatox. "Fair cities" said the speaker, "like Columbia and Atlanta and numerous other towns and villages had been licked by the flaming tongues of war and nought but' ruin remained. Yet these Southern soldiers never lost courage and went back to their starv ing families and to work." In conclusion the speaker told of the new South the South which today is one of the foremost sections in these vast United States and which is each day growing in wealth and influence. He predicted greater achievements in the future than in the past and said that it would probably be only a mat ter of a few years before the South would be one of the greatest sections in the world. Mr. Thomas' address was listened to with intense interest by the many who were present and at times his niagneticNin(Iuence and splendid orat ory caused many an eye to be damp with tears. 1 Crosses of Honor Presented.

BIG SHOW PLACES Amazed At Ease With Which They Were Admitted To Presence Of Noted Men. Washington May 10. Two' English Knights came to Washington yesterday interviewed President Wilson and ot'her public man visited most of the pro minent show places in town without the aid of a rubberneck wagon and went to New York in the afternoon very well Vatisfied with having established a record for hustle that could not be exceeded by the most strennous sight seeing American. They were here eight hours. The visitors were Sir William Tre loar Baft who was Lord Mayor of London in 1907 and Col. Sir William Dunn who is to be Lord Mayor in 1916. They are members of the dele gation of Englishmen who came to this country to make arragnements for the celebration of 100 years of peace between the two great English-speaking nations and felt that it would be all wrong to return to the old country with out having seen the capitol of the United States. Arriving at the Union Station early in the morning they started out im mediately after breakfast and in the course of the day visited the White House the Captiol the Library of Congress and the Washington Monu ment and were received by President Wilson Vice-President Marshall Speaker Clark Secretary of State Bryan Secretary of War Garrison and Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. What amazed the two Sir Williams was the ease with which they obtained admittance to the presence of the dis tinguished men whom they sought. It surprised them to find such real democracy in Washington even after all they had heard. They expressed their opinion that it would take about four months to arrange to see in London persons of rank equal to those upon whom they called. The visitors were impressed par ticularly with President Wilson Sec retary Bryan and Speaker Clark and said they thought General Wood was "a fine man". Their conversation with the Presi dent consumed only a few mintues Mr. Wilson asked them about the purpose of their visit to America and told them he had always been a close student of English affairs. MESSRS. IVES & SON SHIPPED OVER THOUSAND CRATES IN LAST WEEK. George N. Ive9 & Son have shipped during the past week over a thousand crate) of cabbage. They were grown by different farmers in this vicinity and Messrs.-Ives & Son distributed them, over all parts of North Carolina and ia some sections of Virginia. This manner of handling the cab bage crop is believed to be much better I1 than the old plan, of shipping it to the Northern markets. The growers are pleased with , the prices which they have realized, upon their produce sold right, here'' In the the home States of North ' Carolina and Virginia. Messrs,' Ives & Son have made ship ment's to preenbsorc Charlotte Ashe- ville linston-Salem High Point add many other ' places in the Piedmont section of Nprth- Carolina and Virginia.

MAN IN POSSESSION WINS Two Local Merchants Claim' Ownership Of The Same Stand. That possession is nine points of the law was fittingly exemplified by a series of incidents which occurred in this city early yesterday morning and last evening. Little more than a month ago H.E. Royall who has for several years con ducted a fruit store on Middle street jst oppoiste Kafer's bakery disposed ofhis st6ck. fixtures and good will of the business to Hugh Rowe the latter giving his note whoch was due on May 2 in partial payment. When the note fell due Rowe failed to make it good and Mr. Royall took possession of the place. Rowe swore out a warrant before a magistrate and endeavored to have Mr. Royall re moved but the result of the trial was indefinite and Mr. Royall remained in possession. Shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning Rowe went to the store tore the lock from the door and placed a large padlock on it. At times during the day he remained in the store and when not in actual possession he had the door securely fastened. Last even ing Royall learned that Mr. Rowe was not in the store and he went to the place and tore the padlock which had been placed on the door and took pos session. Rowe appeared on the scene a few minutes later and a lively wrangle which attracted the attention of a large crowd ensued. However nothing resulted from this and Royall remained in possession and also stated that he would remain in the building during the night and see that no one entered. It seems that as long as one of the gentlemen who claim to own the place is in actual possession that the other cannot break in and take charge but that as soon as one finds the other away he at once proceeds to got possession. Both Mr. Royall and Mr. Rowe are represented by legal talent but the affair is so badly tangled that it is a hard matter just at this time to fore tell the ultimate result.
