TO THE SURVIVING CONFEDER.
ATE SOLDIERS OF LINCOLN
COUNTY.

Seeing the, cool work that is being
done by organizations in our State and
throughout our Southland, We think IL
our duty TO organize branch of the
Confederate Veterans Association in
this county.
The object Of the association is The
binding together of oil surviving soldiers
in closer unity and the perpetuation of
sacred and golden memories. To protect
and shelter beloved comrades bending
under the crewding years, aud whose
hands are fast losing their cunning, rs
they struggle to support their loved ones.
Toe nobest impulses known TO the hu-
man heart ara love aud seli-sacrtce.
What tongue can recte the stainless love
we bear those who stood with us amid
the aW iul gloom, the blood aud smoke OF
battle, the thuuderings OF war. In the
great conflict, the armies OF the South
were composed OF volunteers, impelled
solely by lofty sense OF patriotism. The
same exalted sense OF duty should
prompt every touloutiabo az tiiho VI
peacs TO volunteer in this noble cause.
The disabled heroes Of the Northern ar
mics have homes provided them by the
government they fought to save. The
equally heroic men OF the Southern ar
mice, Who are in like disabled condition,
can only look to their surviving comrades
for aid. How can the heart aud hand OF
a Confederate refuse the silent, yet elo-
quent appeal, which comes from these
helpless heroes
II the annals of our beloved South
land have been made brilliant by the
splendid courage and knightly bearing of
her men, the gentle and beautiful piety.
the spotlesa purity and noble dignity OF
her women have no less brightly sdorn-
cd the pages OF her history. The daugh-
ters of "the land we love" are with I'd IN
this work. They gave courage and in
spiration to the armed legions, and now
they tsnderly appeal to the same gallant
men to enlist in this cause. To do this
should be a loving duty, dear to the
heart of every Confederate soldier. Now
az maay as will enlist in this work meet

"Yes. but that wouldn't be true"
"Why, of course it wouldn't be true,

We'll, on our side of the water"
said Kenyon. 1--WE think that the truth

you are free from all blame, anyhow,
in this affair; il is all your friend Went

Kenyon looked up at her incredulous-
ly.
"Oh yes, IL would" she said, nod
ding confidently at him. You must
not flatter yourself because Mr.. Went

deep into his pockets, he wandered dis

the Grain Committee have held protracted
sessions TO discuss the matter. They say
that less than twenty carloads o. wheat

tial, vessels can load AT Newport News
directly al the elevator. the charges Of
which are small. they can be coaied at n
minimum cost, while harbor charges OF
all kinds are much less. Steamers that

advantage OF a fine harDor. easily ac-
cessible. cheap steam coal OF the finest
grade, are influences that will be per-
petually working IN favor o. Newport

Newport News is not an inconsiderable

GIVE Us 4 PLATFORM WE CAN IN
DTE~TiND.

We were very much pleased by the re-
port given to us of some remarks made
bv Judge William IA. Mann at the recent
meeting of the state Central Democratic
Committee in this city lie was arguing
for a basis of representation in the com
ing State Convention that would give us
a large convention. He wanted the whole
body OF the people represented he said,
because he wanted a full expression from
the whole body OF the people upon the
financial question. II the majority Of the
people of the State arc in favor Of free
silver he wanted the platform of the
party TO declare for free silver. but II
the majority OF the people OF the State
are opposed TO free silver he wanted Se
platform to declare against Il. But he
wanted no more shifts and evasions and
platforms that could be read either way
according as parties desired TO read them
lie wanted the platform TO declare open
~ and expressly for one thing or the
other
We don't know whether Judge Mann is
an advocate of or opposed TO free silver
but from what we know Of him we are
disposed To class him with the sound
money men. But whatever his opinion
upon that question may be- we most
heartily endorse his view as TO what the
States Democratic platform should say.
Let US have no more facing-two-way
platforms. Let US have a platform IN
mistakablV for sound money or a Mat
form Enthusiastically for free silver. We
believe 1t will be found. when :he con-
vention is polled. that the State is safe
for sound money. and we do not fear that
we risk anything. therefore. in calling for
a show OF hands. But II We should be
mistaken-if the State is really for rotten
money-we want TO know II. We want the
platform 70 say 81 i'm plain terms so

about international bimetallism or other
shams OF that sort. There is no interna-
tionai bimetallism. Neither England
France. Germany. Austria. nor Russia
will hear OF any such proposition. so that
all talk about IL IS breath wasted and
gilded bait for guageons Give us a plat
form that speaks openly and unmistak-
ably for the one thing or the other. so
