SOUTH AFRICAN AFFAIRS.
SympatIiies of All Americans Are Wit
 Uitanders.

oI All tAInertCaus Are WI
 UitIanders.
 London, Jan. 13.-An interview was had to-day with MT. Wiltsee, a col league of John Hays Hammond, the well known mining engineer, who was a member of the reform committee at Johannesburg, and who is now under arrest for sedition. MT. Wiltsee has just arrived from the Transvaal He said he had sent cable dispatches to General Harris and Major J. R. Crock CT of San Francisco, friends of MT. Hammond, and had ben informed that they had appraised Senators Perkins and White of the serious position of the Americans in Johannesburg. Senator White had laid the matter before the department of state which had prom ised to pay prompt attention to the matter.
 MT. Wiltsee said that J. s. Curtis, who is among the Americans arrested, had for some time been resident of Johannesburg. He held leading posi- tion there and was very wealthy. Charles Buffers, also under arrest, was connected with the Rand Ore Reduction company. Captain Mein was chief en- gineer of the Robinson Gold Mining company, the property of these three Americans, MT Wiltsee stated, was thu eatened with confscation. He de- clared that the United States would never permit the Boer government to execute this threat. There was no doubt that MT. Hammand and the other Americans belonged to the reform com mittee, which was body formed in a time of emergency that was sufficiently serious to justify the UitIanders in acting as they did.
 MT. Wiltsee asserted that the sympa- thies of all the Americans in South Africa were with the Uitlanders.

JUDGE AVERY TO WRITE A HIS
TORY.
The Part Taken by North Carolina
Troops in the Late War.


Judge Avery yesterday closed
through Mr.. Sprague, who was here,
a contract with the Atlanta Publishing
Company to write the history Of the
part taken by the North Carolina
soldiers in the late war. There is not
to be less than twelve volumes of the
entire work, and subscribers will not
be charged for more than that number.
DIR. j. l.. NJ. Curry is charged with the
duty of writing upon the causes that
led to the war, showing how the South
was justified in appealing to arms.
Gen. Evans, of Georgia, will write a
civil history of the Southern States.
The history of the parts taken by the
troops of the various States will be
written by Bradley johnson, of Mary
land, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia,
Judge A. G. Avery, of North Carolina,
Bishop Capers, of South Carolina, and
probably Cow Gen. Nichols, of Louis
lana. Some special work will probably
be done by Gen Stephen ID. Lee, of
Mississippi, and Col VIM. Preston
Johnston, of Louisiana, who was aid-de-
camp to President Davis, and is a son
of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. DIR. j.
William Jones will write the history of
the Confederate chaplains and their
work
The work is to be done by Septem-
Der, and Judge Avery invites cor
respondence with those who
have material that can be
utilized. He especially urges veter-
ans who have copies of reports Of bat
ties by the North Carolina Colonies or
commanders of battalions or of de-
tached companies to send the originals
or copies as soon as possible to him.
He hopes that every veteran in the
State will feel at liberty to write or
have written and forwarded to him ac-
counts of exhibitions Of extraordinary
GOODNESS and courage by private sol
diers in the ranks of any Of our regi-
ments, 1t is desirable and almost in
dispensable that any material which
may be utilized in the preparation Of
this history should be sent to him be-
fore the last Of April, as all OF it must
be copied and arranged so that ready
reference may be made to it in the
preparation of the work
Judge Avery was solicited to write
the history for North Carolina by the
Atlanta Publishing Company at the in
stance Of the officers of the United
Veterans Association of North Caro-
lima.
Judge Avery is very anxious to bor-
row or have given to him for the use
of the Historical Society any copies of
newspapers, published during the war
and containing contemporary accounts
Of the conduct Of any portion of North
Cardinals soldiers in any of the bat
ties of the war from Bethel to Apo
mattox
All newspapers in the State are ask
ed to give the above request for in
formation publicity.

Mr.. 4oFFMAN.s STATEMENT.


The Seaboard Air Line in Pros
porous Condition, and There is no
Truth That There is Deal to Sell
Out to the Southern Railroad.
President Hoffman, of the Seaboard
Airline, seldom talks about the con-
dition of the road, and seldom has
stopped to talk to those who predict
that the road is going into the hands
of receiver or is going to be sold
out to the Southern Railway. The
following statement from Saturday s
Baltimore News will prove interesting
and gratifying to the people of North
Carolina, who are deeply interested in
the prosperity and growth of the pro
gressiye Seaboard Airline:
mir. r. Culzon Hoffman, president
of the Seaboard Airline, declares that
the rumors that deal is pending for
the transfer of control of the property
to the Louisville and Nashville system
is without foundation in fact.
81 cannot understand said Mr.
Hoffman, commenting on the alleged
deal, how such reports get out. The
Louisville and Nashville has made no
offer for the property, nor has it even
intimated that it desires to purchase
it. The Seaboard Airline is controlled
by Baltimoreans and is not for sale
There is no stock of the company on
the market. and not likely to be soon
as the road is prospecting and the stock
holders are satisfied with the invest
ment.
az suppose the recent rise in the
price of the shares from 3S to 81 gave
rise to the rumors that a deal was
pending for the sale of the road. The
truth is, there was no good reason
why the stock should have declined to
80. When it reached those figures peo-
pie who knew the true condition of the
property eagerly snapped up all offer
ings, and when the stock was absorbed
and there was no more to be had the
price jumped to 81.
"There are some people who know
more about the affairs of the Seaboard
Airline than / do, at least they pre-
tend they do, and suppose the rumorS
were circulated by this class. You
may state in the most positive terms
that the Louisville and Nashville is not
negotiating for the property and that
there is no desire on the part of those
who control the system to part with it
1.-THE earnings during the past six
months are the best in the history OF
the road and the outlook for business
is all that could be desired. There is
no doubt that there is a stronger feel
inc on the stock, but this is due 10 the
fact, as / have already stated, that the
business of he company is very large.

CELEBRATING WASHINGT0N'S
BIRTHDAY AT THE CENTENNIAL
Graded SCHOOL

The pupils Of the Centennial school
celebrated Washington's birthday by
hanging a portrait of THE Father of
His Cuntry' in their assembly hall
this morning. The children bought
the picture, nearly every child contri-
buting to it.
An interesting talk was made by Mr..
n y. Broughton, impressing upon the
boys the character of Washington as
q boy and as a young man.
1t was fitting that the picture of a
man who led iii whatever he under
took should be hung by boys who lead
the school. Masters Jack Perry and
Talcott Brewer had that honor, they
having led the school during the fail
term.
Mr. Howell made a few remarks
thanking Mr. Broughton, in the name
Of the boys, for his inspiring talk He
also emphasized the all-round charac-
ter of Washington, calling attention
to the extent that his moral worth had
determined his greatness.
Mrs. Barbee was present at the invi-
tation of the boys.

terest North Carolina readers
A case involving some interesting
and novel questions of commercial
law was decided in Part Y Of the SUI
preme Court before Judge Giegerich
and jury yesterday.
Mr.. Moses III. Cone, the President Of
the Cone Export and Commission Com
pany, brought an action against the
Empire Plaid Mills of High Point, M.
G., to recover damages for the breach
of contract which had been entered
into in November, 1892. by his compa-
ny with the Empire Plaid Mills. The
Empire Plaid Mills inteIposed the de-
Tense that the contract was not signed
by the company, but was simply sub
scribed by the Treasurer, and that the
statutes OF the State of North Carolina
in force ut that time provided that all
contracts in excess of 500 should be
signed by an authorized officer of the
company: and that the bylaws of the
Empire Plaid Mills expressly stated
that no contract involving more than
5000 should be binding on the corpora
ton unless such contract was signed
by the President
The jury brought in verdict for
SO, 40751 for the plaintiff, being the ex-
act amount of principal and interest

This is 80 easily accomplished that a
