TRAGEDY Of the Alamo.

EEIToR GOLD Leaf saw in the GOLD
LEAF of the 7th of May, a we'll written
article on the Tragedy of the Alamo,
from the pen of George L. kilmer. NO
doubt the writer thinks he is correct, but
he makes one statement not in accordance
with my impression of the matter. He
says Crockett and five companions sur
rendered to the Mexican General leading
the assault and were taken to Santa Anna,
who instantly ordered them dispatched
| think the statement is incorrect. was
informed by a very intelligent man from
Texas that Crockett promised to sur
render with his men if the enemy would
treat them as prisoners OF war. On
learning that nothing short OF 1.-THE hearts
blood of the brave defenders of the Fort
would salty the cruel invader he resolved
to fight to the last, and go down like
brave man, and sell his life as dear as he
could. In the last struggle he stood in
the door of his room in the Fort, and
with his bowie knife killed thirteen OF his
pressing foes, that in 'semi-circle around
him lay" when he fell. He would have
killed more had not Mexican standing
not far off sent ball through his heart
from his rifle. Travellers to San Antonio
are shown the spot where he fell hero
ically fighting in the unequal contest.
Five hundred such men as Crockett would
have driven the cruel invaders back and
planted the flag of victory upon the walls
of the Fort. With feelings OF regret we
read Of the sad fate of the defenders OF
the Alamo. They deserved a better fate.
Houston, the commander-in-chief, seeing
the perils of the situation, ordered Col
onels Travis and Fannin to evacuate the
Alamo and Goliad and fall back to the
interior and unite their forces with his.
Had they obeyed his orders the Tragedy
OF the Alamo nor the massacre OF Goliad
would never have been enacted, nor
would the battle of San Jacinta have
been fought. Santa Anna would have
been captured before reaching the Colo
RADIO river. He wuold not have marched
through the land, with terrified women
and children fleeing from their homes at
his approach. The actors in the tragic
scenes of the Texan Revolution have
passed away. Their heroic deeds of
valor and their sacrifices belong to
history. Crockett, the hero OF the Alamo,
sleeps by the side of the brave Travis.
whose misconceptions of duty imperilled
the lives of his devoted followers. Let
justice be done 20 their memories.

One of the most hourishing and
successful schools in the State. is Oak
Ridge Institute. 1t is an institution
of which not only the principals Messrs.
J. 4. and NJ. H. Holt, have just reason
to feel proud, but all patriotic North
Carolinians as well. For the scholastic
year. which will close on the 2Sth inst,
301 students were enrolled. So much
has their patronage increased that an
other new building, to cost 10000,
has just been contracted for. 1t is to
be heated BIS steam. and will be COM
pleted by the 1st of October next, and
as school building will rank with
the best in North Carolina.

READ THIS,
How to Advance Real Estate Values
and Keep the Town Moving.

IlOW " AufdHCt htdl ESGdCe values
and Keep the Town Moving.
Here are some sound and practical
suggestions on the subject of how to
advance real estate values and to keep
the town moving, which we commend
to the careful consideration of business
men hereabouts. It is from the Green
vile, S. c., News. Read and reflect
upon what it says:
1t is we'll to remember that increase
in real estate values does not build up
towns. AS soon as there is more pop
ulation than the business of town can
support, real estate values begin to de-
cline because the demand for lots,
dwellings and stores ceases.
The one way to keep real estate
values advancing and the town moving
is for the people to move, and to move
together. Nothing can be done if
people are divided into factions and
throw cold water on each others I'M
dertakings. We may hate each other
as we like, but it is well for us to re-
member that our general interests are
the same and we can best help our
selves by helping earnestly and
promptly in everything proposed likely
to advance the community, be it big
or little.
Live men who will think and work
and give for the upbuilding of their
communities always develop fast
enough when it is found that the people
are ready to back them. Holding back
and splitting into factions and cliques
will kill any town, no matter how fair
its prospects are Or how great its
growth may have been.
There is no such thing as standing
still. We must keep moving forward
or 90 backward.

The Industrial Convention.

The proceedings of the Industrial
Convention at Raleigh, as printed on
the first page of the GOLD LEAF this
week, will be found interesting read
ing. We look for great good to come
to the State as a result of this meeting.
Vance county was honored with the
president of that intelligent and dis
tinguished body, fact which must be
gratifying to all of Col. Burgwyn's
friends at home and elsewhere. One
of the most broad minded, progressive
and patriotic of North Carolinans, ready
at all times to give literally of his time
and means to every object calculated to
benefit his State and people, he was
recognized as fit person not only to
preside over the deliberations of the
Convention last week, but to put at
the head of the permanent organization,

Development Association

Dan Hall Again.
Dan Hall has been heard from again In
Saturdays Atlanta Constitution is pub
lished an interview with him giving his YER
sion of the matter and the circumstances
of his release. He pretends to do further
justice to the man he has publicly con-
fessed to have wronged, with the evident
purpose OF stabbing his character by
inuendo and insinuation. But those who
know Dan Hall and estimate him at his
true worth and character will be neither
surprised at this nor the fact that he goes
back on certain of his friends and credits
them with things which some of them
positively deny in toto, or else declare
that he has SO distorted facts as to show
himself the reckless handler of the truth
that he is. But at this there need be no
surprise. 1t did not suit his purpose to
have it otherwise. Mr.. Halls latest ap-
pearance in the public prints reflects
greater discredit upon himself than any
one else
In this connection it may be stated that
we have been permitted to read letter
from Messrs Parkinson and Dodson, in
which they disclaim having had any
knowledge of Halls statements to the
Constitution reporter until they saw them
in the paper, and expressing their regrets
at his conduct.

Our Ringwood Letter.
RINGwooD, N: c., May Is, '9l.
It has rained-a fine season for set
ting tobacco, and it is going on.
Halifax Court this week, Judge
Conner presiding. 1 have heard a
number Of highest encomiums passed
on this excellent gentleman and up
right jurist. Though comparatively
young, he has by diligence and strict
adherence to duty and justice won a
most enviable reputation and I would
not be surprised if he is not in due
time Governor of North Carolina.
Among prominent members Of the
bar present was your able, intelligent
and eloquent townsman w. r. Henry,
and heard many expressions of praise
passed upon him. Henry Blount, of
the Mirror, whose word painting, poet
ical Fluctuations and unsurpassed delin-
cation is household word, thus speaks
of Mr.. Henry in abiding to his speech
to be delivered in Wilson in June and
which your correspondent hopes to
enjoy: "a sound logician, polished
rhetorician, a profound thinker, a master
word builder, he will deliver an address
worthy of his own brilliant reputation
and of that admirable institution before
which it will be delivered.' Mr.. Henry
deserves all the good things said of
him and have no doubt there is much
of usefulness and honor in store for
him.
Among other prominent lawyers
that attended the Halifax bar r. O.
Burton, now of Richmond, Va, was a
prominent figure. Reared in the county,
well known by all our citizens, and be-
loved by all for his urbanity and uni
form courtesy and universally admitted
to be one of those who has found ''room
at the top" and whose eloquence, ora
tory and power of logical deductions
puts him second to none before a jury.
We sincerely hope Mr.. Burton will find
in North Carolina field large enough
for the scope of his brilliant attain
ments, for it would be misfortune to
lose such as him from our midst.
Hastily,
G.. E. NJ.
