Yesterday was legal holiday in the
State, and all banks and State buildings
were closed in observance OF the birth
day OF Virginia's favorite soldier, Gem
eral Robert e. Lee. William Watts
Camp OF Confederate Veterans held an
interesting meeting at o'clock last
night In tho Y. Nj. G. A. building. The
house was crowded, there being many
ladies' present. The veteran General
James A. Walker, of Wytheville, was
the speaker OF the evening. The ban
ner OF tho camp was placed upon the
rostrum just behind the speaker.
The meeting was called to order by
>. ,. Brooke, commander OF the camp,
after which prayer was offered by Rev.
mr. Ferguson, chaplain of the camp.
AT the conclusion OF the prayer Lieu
tenantcommander w. b johnson, after
eulogizing General Walker for his
valiant service and deep devotion to his
country, introduced him as the speaker
OF the evening.
General Walker commenced his re-
marks with greetings to Camp William
Watts. and the mournful qualification he
felt In speaking to an organization that
bore the name OF one whose memory re-
called the noblest type of the virtues,
the courage, the chivalry and the ac-
complishments which made mp the true
Virginia gentleman OF the days before
the war. He said it was one OF the
most pleasing recollections of the pres
ent to reflect upon the friendship which
ceased only with William Watts life.
General Walker then spoke at some
length upon Stonewall Jackson, saying:
Many men OF great genius have borne
the reputation OF being crazy and Stone
wall jackson was at the beginning OF
the war no exception to this rule" He
then recounted the story of Jackson's
wonderful strategy in the Swift Run
Gap affair, when he left only General
Mo Ewell to check General Banks army
in case of movement on the Federal
side, who remained in blissful ignorance
OF tae fact that they were only con.
fronted with one division, while General
jackson was winning battle at Nc
Dowell.
General Ewell during tho delay pre-
vious to the victory insisted that Gem
erai jackson was crazy, and was only
satisfied OF his sanity when he received
his telegram dated Nc Dowell, Nav IL,
1869: "By the grace of God we defeated
Milroy here to day. j. Il. JACKSON"
General Walker then rehearsed some
thrilling stories OF the war and con-
Guided his address with eulogy OF Gen.
Robert e. Lee, in which he spoke OF his
oharac teristic modesty and OF the dnan-
cial positions he had been offered for
the use OF his name, saying: Can the
widest sketch of a fanciful Imagination
think of the name OF Robert e. Lee
heading flaming advertisements OF the
drawing OF gambling lottery, or being
connected with q black Friday, or a
wildcat bank to allure innooent and
trusting depositors to financial ruin. In
Richmond there stands proud eoues-
TRAN statue Of General Lee, the great
est general or military hero OF any age
or Cline" General Walker was listened
to throughout with deep attention.
About dozen members Of the Grand
Army post were present

lect can be made of great benefit to the
needy of our city, and will work heart
and soul to further it,"
VIM. Ii. Groves, pastor of the Bethany
Presbyterian Church, said: 81 most
heartily approve Of the plan. There is
much destitu tion in Roanoke. Appeals
for help come from every quarter.
While MUCH has been done in the way
Of relief. still there are many who need
Immediate assistance. 1 have no doubt
the plan proposed will meet with
generous response. No one should re-
fuse to help in this hour OF need"
Rev. S. G. Ferguson, Trinity M. e.
Church: ~ have found some needy
families in my congregation who have
been relieved by contributions from the
church. think general fund for the
relief OF the poor would prove great
blessing to many homes. II the cold
continues the number of needy will be
greatly increased. 1t will be wise to
take timely action"
q. L. ID. Collins, pastor of st. James
nj. e. Church: From what I know OF
the enterprise it must be worthy un-
dertaking. The suffering OF the poor
and needy in some quarters of the city
ls on the increase, and If this cold
weather continues there will be much
more suffering yet We trust there may
be hearty response to the call of those
who have this popular fund in hand"
Rev. Henry Collars, of ST. Paul M. e.
Church (colored) was enthusiastic in
the matter and after detailing the sui.
fering in his immediate neighborhood
said: The object is worthy one. 1
thoroughly approve of the flood and
Fuel" fund and will do everything in my
power for the cause, as know from ex-
perience that there is considerable want
distributed among the worthy through
out the city. 1 will certainly give it
my earnest attention from the pulpit Of
the st. Paul M E. Church on Sunday
next and as long as want continues. for
that is my mission on EARTH
K. K. Jones, pastor of the First Bap-
tist Colored Church said: II think it Is
very badly needed. There are number
of people suffering in the city and If
the weather continues there Will be an
increase in the number. 1 subscribe SIS
to the fund and will use every endeavor
to furth or the noble purpose"
A number of other ministers of the
gospel were visited, and in every case
they heartily approved the cause. al
though in most OF the churches on the
west side of the city want is unknown,
but in these churches they are doing
noble work, and constant calls are mad o
upon the congregations to furnish
money for the support of every worthy
case OF poverty in the city that may
come under their notice. In two or
three cases they spoke of bringing the
Food and Fuel Fund before the minis
tors meeting on Monday next; others
will make it the subject of their dis.
course on next Sunday.

The Populists Now Have a Majority.

no OpuiIbCS NOW hAy0 n NIatOritY.
TOPEKA, Kans. Jan. 19-The Repub.
lican senators and representatives met
in joint session this morning and bal
loted for State printer. None OF the
Democrats we're present, and although
a solid vote was cast for Crane, he did
not re ,eive the constitu tional majority.
The Republican house then adjourned
at IL o'clock and the Populists began
the unseating process. rhe Poeulists'
election committee reported in favor of
unseating Kline, Republican, from
jackson county, and seating Shellen-
berger, Populist. In Reno county, Dix,
Republican, was ousted and Mitchell,
Populist, seated. The grounds were the
same in both cases. In jackson county,
the town OF Holton, and in Reno, the
town of Dickerson, were not mentioned
in the legislative appointment two
years ago and, although they are in
the center OF their legislative districts,
the Populist committee held that their
votes should not be counted. In the
senate similar tactics will be followed,
and by this means the Populists will
have clear majority on joint ballot
without the aid of the Democrats.

The rem ainder of the party was in
formed OF the 6nd and the hunting
party turned into mining camp. Tools
were secured and the services of indians
were engaged to perform tho necessary
labor.
Finally the bulk of gold and silver
became so enormous that it was thought
best to remove it to the States for safe
keeping and the safety of their lives.
The plan agreed upon was to take 1t to
Virginia and bury it in some place that
could be found afterward, and leave pa
pers locating it in the hands of some
one whom they could all trust.
Mr. Morriss was selected as the man
of trust, and Mr.. Beale spent the yinter
with him at the "Washington" to study
the man, and, IL advisable, leave the
box with him.
Upon opening the box the letters
above referred to were found, and also
three unintelligible papers, marked 81, +"
2, "3, with nothing on them except
figures. BY the aid OF q copy of the De-
claration OF Independence, which was
used as a key, paper No. has been de-
ciphered. 1t reads as follows:
II have deposited, in the county of
Bedford, about IA miles from Buford s,
In an excavation or vault, six feet be-
~" 1ue surlace OF tue ground, tho fol-
lowing articles, belonging jointly to the
parties whose names are given in No. 3.
herewith:
'"The first deposit consisted of 1,O14
pounds OF gold and Asia pounds OF sill
yer, deposited in 1919. The second was
made December, 1921, and consisted of
1907 pounds of gold and 1,2SS pounds OF
silver; also jewels, obtained in ST. Louis
in exchange for silver to save trapspor-
ton and valued at $4,000"
The papers ~" and "2" could never
be deciphered. No. 1 locates the vault
and No. gives the names of the parties
to whom it belongs.
The facts in the matter have been
given to the public by friend of Nor
riss, who learned them in 1863. and
have been published in pamphlet form.
The inhabitants of Bedford county have
hunted for this treasure bat 30 far in
vain.
