THE SOUTH AND HER VETER
ANS.

Georgia's confederate pension
system, under which disabled
veterans receive from 50 to $50
per month, according to the dis
ability, is highly creditable to
our State; but it should accept
and maintain the home near this
city, in order to complete the
good work.
1t will be of interest to review
the situation in outher southern
states.
Virginia led in the movement
and established a confederate
home at Richmond, for the sup
port of which the State expends
$40, 900 q year. Pensions to the
amount of $1,000 annually are
also paid.
Alabama has no home, but
pays s125,OOO year in pen
siOns.
Arkansas has q home at Little
Rock, built by private subscrip-
ton, supported by State aid.
Florida has no home, but pays
$4,000 a year to disabled Con-
federates who have resided in the
State fifteen years. .f.
Mississippi is without home,
but has made liberal provision
for her idigent and disabled con-
federates.
Missouri pays no pensions, but
a movement is on foot to raise
100000 TO endow a home with
out state aid. -
Maryland has a $4,000 home
near Baltimore, aided by the State to
the extent of $4,000 annually.
Louisiana has home near New
Orleans, and the State grants it
$4,000 a year.
North Carolina not only pays
pensions, but has appropriated
$41 900 for home
South Carolina pays about $780,
600 in pensions, but has no home.
Texas has home established by
subscription. It costs $500 "a
year, and State aid is expected
shortly.
Tennessee has Established home
at the old home of Andrew jackson
the Hermitage, the State donating
475 acres of land and giving s1O,-
600 for improvements in 1889.
The legislature which recently adj
journed appropriated $4,000 for "a
b1ilding and $4,000 year for its
support, and in addition 100000, or
SO much thereof as may be necessary
for expenditure annually in pensions,
which range, from $3.50 to S25 per
month. 1t is thought that $4,000
per year will cover the pension
list.
Of all the southern states Ken
lucky alone has made no provision
for her ex-Confcderates.
No veterans were ever worthier of
public aid than the men who wore
the gray. Only 100000 strong,
they for four years defended the
South against the well-equipped
armies of the United States, nuns
bering 1929, 600 men, and yielded
only to these overwhelming odds of
nearly five to one.
The South cannot do too much
for heroes who have made such a
record. Fortunately, Georgia will
not haveto go to the expense of
building home. 1t is already
built, and is rendered by private
citizens as gift to the State. 1t
will not cost much to keep it up.
and in few years the property
greatly enhanced in value will more
than repay what the state expends
on it. Such a gift, under the cir
cumstances, cannot be defined

RALEIGH, N. c., April S.-Governor
Fowle died suddenly last night at
11:3O. He had been at home slight
~ indisposed for two days, but was
not supposed to be seriously sick.
Last night he helped his younger
rchildren with their lessons as usual,
and retired. Shortly after eleven
O'Clock he called his daughter Mary
and said to her that he was not feel
ing well and expected she would have
to sit up with him. His daughter,
Miss Helen, then went into his room.
and in a few minutes he said II am
fainting.' She FASTENED to dampen
a towel but before she could do so he
had expired She ran for doctor,
and other doctors were summoned,
but he was already dead. His death
was probably from appoplexy, su-
perinduced by la grippe. He was

A COURT HOUSE PROPOSE
TON

A correspondent to-day make.
the timely suggestion Of new
court house.
He assumes that the county
board of magistrates and com
missiOners will not submit the
question to the people, nor would
the voters, if appealed to, be
likely to sanction imposing a tax
for the erection of a suitable
structure.
He then comes at it in a differ.
ent way, suggesting how the
county can secure a good mod.
ern building without the outlay
of a cent, but on the contrary
actually make money by the
operation. The plan is to sell
the square, and with the pro
ceeds buy another lot and erect
Il good court house.
This appears to be entirely
practicable. Without question
the present site would sell for a
good round sum for business
building purposes; more than
enough to erect a court house
equal to any other county in the
State, and there cannot be any
very serious difficulty in securing
a more suitable site than that of
the present court house.
We imagine that the country
people would not object to this
arrangement, because it would
improve the town and materially
add to the business and value of
all the stores fronting the square,
and the property of the surround
ing blocks, as the building up Of
the court house square most
assuredly would.
1t is going to become a serious
matter to the property fronting
on the court house square if that
ground shall remain permanently
open as it is. 1t is the history of
every important place for bust
ness to languish and move off
from streets where the opposite
side is left open or unoccupied
with business buildings, and
every owner of property 'front.'
ing the court house square
should be able to see his interest
in having the court house square
built up and occupied.
Everyman in the county is in
terested in having a court house
with fire proof vaults for the
safety and preservation of all
the records, with clerks, regis
tors sheriffs and treasurers
rooms large enough and con-
veniently arranged and adapted
to the transaction of the public
business.
Every citizen wants to look in
on the court proceedings, to
comfortably sit, hear and see
what is going on, which the peo-
pie of Forsyth cannot do in their
present cramped and ill-arranged
court, room.
The present building was
erected thirty seven years ago,
and the population of the county
and the public business have
wholly outgrown the court
house deemed adequate for that
day and time.
Every consideration of county
pride, public convenience and in
terest should suggest to the
whole people OF Forsyth the pro-
priety and the necessity of erect
ing a new court house, and their
attention is earnestly invited to
the suggestions in the communi-
cation on the subject in this
number of the SENTINEL.

here. The paper will be backed
by an abundance of capital, and
will he conducted by men OF
brains and experience"
Like cool water to a thirsty
soul is good news from q far
country" wrote the .wisest man
of ancient times, and the best
philosopher of all times. This is
certainly good news. The start
ting of Il newspaper is always
good news.
And there is always abundant
room to start one in; plenty of
people to start them, and a
plethoric lack of support to keep
them going after they are started.
Some few newspapers are like
men; they live the allotted time,
and die; but most of them die in
infancy. Cholera infantum seems
to have prevailed to an alarming
extent among newspapers of
North Carolina, in the past.
And we have heard that Il "diar-
rhoea of words and constipation
of ideas was acommon COM
plant among North Carolina
journalists.
So fearful have been the ravages
ofthe epidemic referred to, that, in
this State, the Charlotte Demo-
crat, Salisbury Waterman, Tar
boro Southerner, Raleigh Chris
tain Advocate, Biblical Recorder,
North Carolina Presbyterian, Sa-
lem Press and the Winston Senti-
nel-''one of the few, the immor-
tai names, that were not born to
die"-are the only papers in exis-
tence now that have chad contin-
uous publication for twenty-five
years; and the only active editors
of that date, working on the
State press now, are Mr.. Bernard,
of the Wilmington Star, the vet
Grams OF the Salem Press, and the
modest gentleman of The SENTI-
MEL.
An abundance of capital" is a
handy commodity to have about
a newspaper office, and as a re-
serve force few concerns that we
are much acquainted witch can
boast its control.
It's offices are numerous, effica-
cious, and comforting; inspiring
boldness, and strengthening to
combat. 1t dispenses with the
ever recurring, wearing, tearing,
vexatious and embarrassing
question "wheretogetthemoney
topayoff?
Brains are also an impor-
tant factor, the happy preseason
of which is always to be envied.
We do not say, but we are led to
infer, that the size and contents
of brain-pans have had much to
do with the long list of failures
and recorded impotency of the
North Carolina press. Winston
and Salem, and all this portion
of Piedmont Carolina, we are
sure, have never had the benefit
of brains in journalism, and this
public will no doubt be eager
now to see what the product of
such a combination will be, or
what a mixture of brains and
printers ink will look like.
Experience" is not SO rare.
You could hardly throw a brick
in North Carolina without knock
ing down some one who has had
all he wants in capital and ex-
pirience" changing places in the
newspaper business. We do not
say that there are any such in
these parts now, but they are to-

being Samuel K. Fowle, a leading
merchant, importing and exporting
ship owner of Eastern Carolina He
was prepared for college at William
Bingham's school. and graduated
from Princeton with distinguished
honors at twenty.
He studied law under Judge Pear
son. was admitted to the bar in 1853;
married Miss Ellen Pearson, .daugh-
ter of the ChiefJustice. in 1856, hav-
ing settled in Raleigh in 1854, to the
practice of the law. and early took
position as one of first lawyers and
most eloquent advocates at the North
Carolina Bar. Mrs. FOwle died in
1862, leaving two daughters, now
Mrs. Margaret Andrews, and Mrs.
Martha Avery, both of Raleigh.
In 1866 he married Miss Mary
Haywood, of Raleigh, who died ia
1856, and two daughters and son
survive
At the beginning of the war, Cover
nor Ellis commissioned him a Major
in the comn.issary department, and
in the summer Of 1861 became Lieu
tenant Colonel Of the 31st Volunteers
! With this command he was captured
at Roanoke Island, February s, 1862,
paroled and returned to Raleigh In
October following he was chosen to
the Legislature from Wake, and then
appointed Adjutant General by Gov
ernor Vance. In 1864 he ran for the
House of commons as anti-Holden,
and was the only successful candi-
date on that ticket in Wake.
In 1865 under the provisional
State government, Governor Holden
appointed Colonel Fowle Judge of
the Superior Court, and the legisla-
ture of 1S65-'G6 elected him for life
In 1867 he resigned his judgeship be-
cause he would not submit to the
orders Of General Sickles, who, as
commander of Military District No
2, North and South Carolina, subOr-
dinated the civil law to military au-
thority. tt
Judge Fowie was of the Old Wing
school of politics, and of strong I'm
ion proclivities, but when war came
he was on the side of his State. He
was not classed as an ardent COnfed-
crate, but throughout cherished the
hope of conquering an honora bic
peace, and through it reaching a
final restoration Of the Old Union.
His political services to the State
in the crisis of RecOnstruct ion, and in
the restoration and maintenance OF
the Democratic party to power and
control in North Carolina, have been
conspicuous in every campaign since
the war, and he had, as volunteer
campaigner, spoken in nearly every
county before he ran for Governor. in
1888, at the popular call of the party
in recognition of his valuable service
in its ranks. No man not himself
running for office ever made SO many
speeches, campaigned so widely and
SO laboriously, and sometimes in be-
half of his successful competitor for
the nomination, notably, Jarvis Tor
Governor, 1880, and Cox for Con-
gress in 1884.
