Both it is expected that a great
number of people will be present.
Raleigh will doubtless have in her
borders on that day much larger

it will be more than that Mr..
Davis was the most eminent
citizen of the Southern land.
His name and fame are as
sociated with the brightest period
of Southern history. He will live
on the historic page for years as
the Chief of the Southern people in
the brilliant and glorious struggle
they made for the maintenance OF
their Confederacy. The day will be

complimented by visiting brethren
on the harmony of our sessions and
the courteous bearing of our mem

A Gard From Mr.. Hart.

My attention has just been called
to A. Hatchett's communication
from Henderson in your issue OF
last Saturday in which ne does me
the injustice of biased report OF
the shooting affray in which was
involved on the previous day.
Having been legally vindicated
in that matter I will not review his
prejudiced state ment of it.
Not content Herewith he plum
ged into matters unconnected with
that sensation and sought to bring
me into disrepute, and it is that
slander I now seek space to refute.
He asserted that number OF
citizens of Henderson had suffered
by cashing drafts of my drawing.
I have been for some time
representing Richmond and New
York parties in mining g negotiations
and according to our arrangement
drafts of my drawing for expenses
incidental thereto on a certain Rich
mond firm would be honored. This
had been invariably done, unit
some days ago several drafts aggre
eating less than hundred dollars
were returned unpaid, by reason 0
the unexpected financial embarass
ment of said firm. The par
ties concerned, who had &C
commodated me, finding tba
I was taken by surprise, kindl,
proffsred indulgence, whose accom-
modation claims l will satisfy GU
of my personal means on my returl
to Henderson and I presume tha
by indulging me they do not suff,
as much as reporter Hatchett doe
in his desperate effort to get item
to send to newspapers.
AS to my character, which this re
porter seeks to stain, I have but t.
refer to many of the leading news
paper, professional and bushes
men of this State with whom hav
had dealings; and as to whether
have acted otherwise than in goo,
faith in the matter of the minin,
negotiations, I can refer to Mr.. "
II. Kimball, of AZ Broadway, Ne,
York, and Messrs. n. T. Pate & Co
of Richmond, Va, whose social an,
business standing may be concede
to be equal at least to the fame .

1he Funeral Car Passes Through

Char otte News.
The funeral car to be used in
transporting the remains of Jeffer-
son Davis from New Orleans to
Richmond passed through Charlotte
today On the Richmond & Darville
road. The car has been in use on
the Western North Carolina road
for some years past and has fre-
quentiy passed through Charlotte.
1t is observation car $50. It's sides
are fitted with unusually large glass
windows, and the car was formerly
fitted up with movable chairs. These
have been removed, and in the CEN

the casket will be placed. The car
has been overhauled at the shops
OF the company at Manchester. It

We are glad to observe that there
has been formed North Carolina
Antiq lity Society for the purpose
of collecting and preserving arti-
cles of historical interest. There
has of late been general awaken
ing of the historical spirit among
our people, and while formerly those
who manifested an interest in such
matters we're regarded as a "little
of" it is coming to be the fashion.
Without investigating the cauees
that led to the old condition that is
passing away, we are extremely
pleased to note that they have Civ
en- place to growing state pride, a
broader intelligence, a more posi-
tive assertion of correct principles
and higher and better public SEN
timent A people who do not turn
to the past with pleasure when the
past is so honorable as we can boast,
are lacking in sensibility, and we
are rejoiced to see the spirit which
is now being manifested generally
among North Csrolinians.
The society just formed will be
an aid in developing proper sen.
timent on this line, and their col.
lection of relics will foster State
pride and historical interest anon
our people. It is thus to be es.
pecially commended, and we trus,
that it will receive hearty co-opera
ton throughout the State.
Much has been lost. Let us
gather together Whist remains and
preserve our relics for the benefit o1
posterity.

QUEEN VICTORIA has just entered
on her 74th year, having been born
in May, 1919 She has led such an
even life that she is still hale and
hearty. The Prince of Wales, who
would on her demise take the
throne, is, we believe, himself a
grandfather. His mother may yet
outlive him, and may prove to be
the last sovereign of Great Britain,
for the disposition to try Republi-
can government is said to be in
