THE UNWILLING OF THE MONUMENT
Great Arrangements in Progress -Indica-
tions ofa Stupendous Gathering Of
People.

People.
The City of Raleigh is getting wide
awake on the matter of unveiling the
Confederate monument, which event
occurs IN Raleigh on the 10th of May.
1t promises to be one of the most noted
occurrences i'm the history of the State.
Large committees of influential citi-
Zehs of Raleigh are enthusiastically at
work In making arrangements. lnfor-
nation Is being received that people
are coming from everywhere, and it is
now known that the military cOmpa-
MES which will be present will mum
Der nearly one thousand men. Must
cal bands are also coming, and the day
Will be one of great reunion from all
over the State
: Many of the prominent buildings of
Raleigh are magniticently decorated
IN gorgeous cOlOrs, and private resi-
dences are being drapped in bright
and tasteful attire. 1t is to be every
body's day. Every body is invited. A
number of Governors of other States
are e, pected, while Virginia will send
deta chment of military. 1t will be
the Only day of the kind in Raleigh's
history. 1t will be the first time a
Confederate monument has been I'M
veiled in the city. In very short
time those who figured in the great
struggle, of which the monument is d
nemento, will have crossed the dark
river. They will never have such an
occasion for reuniting in North Caro-
lima as this affords. Those who live
can come to see the token of memory
and honor to their dead comrades, who
must soon be joined by those now liv-
ing. The monument is to the GOnfed-
crate soIdiers-thOse both living and
dead. 1t is in honor of men of vaIOr.
Everybody is invited to be present and
| participate in the cOmmemOratiOn of
their heroic lives and deeds.

Warmed up Democrat Tells a Secret
About the Mortgage Law.
PITTsBORo, N. c., May 13.-The
following explains the mysterious
resurrection of the ssignment law
after it was tabled in the House, and
places the responsibility where it
belongs:
A few days ago Raleigh Demo-
crat came TO Pittsboro. He was
talking to Democrats and after re-
hearsing the History" of "fusion''
from a Democratic standpoint, he
warmed up and grew quite confiden-
tial. This is what he said: The
last legislature was a set of d-n
fools. They didn't have any sense
at all. Why they were such big
fools, one Of our shrewd Democrats
slipped that assignment law through
and got it signed by both the Speaker
of the house and the President of the
Senate, and they didn't know d
thing about it," "Why did the
Democrats want that done9" was
asked. "They wanted something te
howl about-sOmething to abuse The
Populists for in the next campaign,
| replied the Raleigh Democrat
Wonder if the Democrats are goins
to put this in their little history O

AsHEvIILE, N. G., May Z, 1895.
Hon. j. 4. Britchdrd, Morshait, ". C.:
Ny DEAR SIR: | have received the
copy of the Boston Sunday journal of
the 2Sth ultimo, containing the full
text of your speech, delivered be-
fore the Middlesex Club on the Occa-
sion of the celebration of General
Grants birthday. l believe
your sentiments WILL in the main, find
cordial response in the hearts Of all
ight-thinking, brOad-minded and
patriotic Southern men.
| will take this occasion to repeat
what | said to you in my Office some
time ago, that | have made up
my mind, after most careful and
serious deliberatiOn, to change my
political affiliations. | have been
gradually and irresistably impelled to
this determination since the Demo-
cratic party, coming into control of all
departments of the governments, has
been charged with the spOnsibilities
of a national administration. No party
has ever so signally failed in the face
of responsibility, or has frittered away
such magnificent opportunities. Com
ing into power on the false pretence of
tariff reform, it has settled the tariff
as far as it could, on Republican lines,
and thus in large measure eliminated
that great question from national poll
ties. On the other great and only l,v-
ing issue, the currency, it is hopelessly
divided into two warning factions. \ K
am glad to be able to say that We
have at last reached that point in the
South where honest, thinking men can
no longer be dragooned into silly in
constituencies in national politics by
any fear of that WORKOUT bugbear OF
negro domination. All sensible mel,
know, and all honest men admit, that
the negro problem is one of sociology
aud not of politics, and that the uner-
ring power behind true social evOlu-
tiOn will, in the fullness of time, settle
that question as it is worked out OH
right lines, to the satisfaction of both
races, and in accordance with the ever
lasting principles of equity, justice
and enlightened humanity.
| am, very truly yours,
EUG. ID. CARTER

Eatherfo:dton De mocrat
Little jamie. the six-year-old daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Julius Gettys. of Dunran's
Creek, who was so horribly bitten BY a
mad-sfog recently. died last Friday.
The full details Of this tragedy form
a most heart-rending story. Ii seems
that about IA year ago. a dog belonging
To a man by tue name OF Chetwood
who lived in the same neighborhuod
with Mr.. Gettys, vas bitten by mad
dog. His neighbors begged Chetwood
to Kill the dog. but lie refused and al
lowed 1t TO run AT large.
On the first day of this month the
dog went mad. 1t went To Mr.. Gettys'
house where his three children. little
jamie, aged six years, her sister, aged
about ten years, and an infant, were
alone. Ii jumped upon little jamie,
dragged her out Of the house. into the
yard and under the house, uudeterred
by the child's screams. The older child
caught the baby up, and ran To a field
near by where a colored man was plow-
ing and told him that "A dog had her
little sister under the house .eating
her up" The negro instead of going
to rescue the child, unhitched the mule,
ioped OFF telling the little girl to run
or the dog would get her. lie rode To
the house oil MIR. Plato Gettys and told
him. Mr.. Gettys got his gun and went
as fast as possible to his brothers and
and tearing the child's face. He shot
and wounded it, whereupon il drop
ped the child, ran from under the house
and was shot again and killed.
The little child with blood streaming
from her mangled face and throat and
the flesh hanging in Strings, crawled
from under the house, walked around
to the door and into the house and sat
down upon a little box in the room.
Her nose had been torn off. All the
flesh on the right side of her face. and
the left eye and left ear were torn off
and the flesh On that side of her face
was stripped from the bones leaving he
bones on both sides of her face exposed,
presenting horrible spectacle
She was conscious and told how the
dog had bitten and torn the flesh from
her and had never for Il Toment ceased
tearing and biting her until her uncle
shot him. AS it was thirty minutes
from the time the dog dragged her
from the house until her uncle rescued
her, some idea of the poor little ones
horrible suffering can be foamed.
When her heart broken father ar
rived and caught her to his heart, sob
blng over her, she begged him to be
quiet, to keep the dogs off her and to
get his gun and Kill them. For nine
teen days the little innocent lay in
| agony, in her delirum begging to b.
saved from the dog until death came
| to her relief
The poor father, almost crazed, has
obeyed his dead child's command
| Wherever he goes he carries his gun
and shoots everysdog he sees. And he
| is right.

Mrs. j. Hewitt BrOaddus, of the Relief
Association, Writes Mayor Russ.
Mayor William Russ has received
a letter from Mrs. J. Hewitt Broatl
dus, of Ewing, Neb., a member of
that city's relief association, which
declares that there is still much
suffering among the poorer classes
of people in that State.
The letter of Mrs. Broaddus is
forceful and sincere. She says that
the $25O,OOO app, opriated by the
legislature did not really cover the
wants of the people. The southern
and eastern cities and churches, she
says have done great deal of good
and stood off pinching want from
many people.
The trouble is that the farmers are
still destitute; they have nothing
and it is with a view of arousing re-
newed interest in and compassion
for the hungry, naked people of Ne
kraska that she writes this letter.
