During the Struggle for the principles Of
our
Confederate States Of America
12R5

1885.
Back
Erected by Samuel E. White, in faith
full memory Of earlier days, with approval
Of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Associa-
ton.
Among the many faithful: Nelson
White, Sandy White, Warren White.
Silas White, Handy White, Anthony
White, Jim White, Henry White, Nathan
Spring, Solomon Spratt.
The speech in dedication of the
monument to the women was made by
Colonel John P. Thomas, of Columbia,
and it was splendid effort, which pro-
voked frequent applause. After the
conclusion of Colonel Fhomas's speech,
Rev. DR.. Mack, read letter from Miss
Mildred Lee in which she expressed her
regret at her inability to be present.
Then came the concluding address by
Mr.. Polk Miller, ofVirginia, dedicato-
ry of the monument to the faithful
slaves of the Confederacy. Mr.. Miller
paid a splendid tribute to the slaves,
and also took occasion to refute some
of the popular fallacies as to their
treatment. Among other things, he
said that the faithful slave was gener-
ally the companion and best friend of
his master. The slaves, as rule, en-
joyed their condition, and there was
no creature on earth that was more
detested by slave than a free Negro.
There were cases, it is true, where
slaves were badly treated, but this was
generally when they deserved 1t. There
were no ,penitentiaries in those days
for bad Negroes, and bad Negroes were
generally punished by being sold to
men who could control them and make
them work.
At the conclusion of his address, Mr..
Miller led the veterans In singing the
"Bonnie Blue Flag,n after which Mr..
w. II. Stewart was call on and re-
sponded handsomely. The audience
then sang, "God be With You Till We
Meet Again." and the meeting infor-
mally adjourned. All the visitors
were delighted with their entertain
ment, with the ceremonies, with the
hospitable temper of the atmosphere,
and felt that 1t was good to be there.

FJ7LPILINENr OF 4 PREDICTION


On the morning of Tuesday, May 26a
the News and Observer, in its editorial
columns. had the following remarks
TO make about the Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan:
III Is evident that the Democracy
OF the far South are IN the mood 10
nominate Hon. ". J. Bryan, of Ne
braska, for President. He is the
most eloquent and effective public
speaker IN America; is a sincere,
honorable and brave man, and as
the nominee of the party would
create an enthusiasm that would
be as inspiring TO the whole coun-
try as Vance's campaign of 1876
which thrilled North Carolina"
The prediction is fulfilled.
BRYAN stands TO the country to-day
as Vance stood to North Carolina
And that is as much, probably, as is
necessary to be said to be clear to
all North Carolinians. In Vance as in
Bryan every thought seems to be
warmed as with the hearts warmth
In MS A1i1
Mr.. Bryan has, in his words, given the
hearts of the plain people voice, So
that they no longer remain dumb in
their warnings for what they believe
is right. That is what Vance did
Bryan, as did Vance, goes about as
other men, because he does not pose as
one of them, but is one of them. The
people know the difference by meth.
cd unknown to themselves. And wher
a man comes who meets the test they
listen first and then love the man.
Now and then when the times get
out of joint, and at odds with the inter
ests of the great mass of the people
there rises a Vance or a Bryan to tel
them what the trouble is and what
the remedy is. Such a man tells them
simply, better, sincerely then
come. what are called changes"
But it takes man of the plain people
to make these changes, and but for the
men and the changes there would be
little hope of that belief of the com
mon people in the righteousness OF
their Republic, which belief is, after
all, the bedrock of all the superstruc-
ture.

GATES COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

Nominated a Good Ticket.

They Are Strong for Silver and Have
Nominated a Good Ticket.
s.ssssssaeE, u
Gainesville, N. c., Sept. 18.-(SpeciaD
Gates County Democratic convention
met here on the 18th in one of the lar
gest and most enthusiastic meetings
for years. The delegates appeared only
to he committed to put the strongest
available ticket in the field. A high
order of patriotism and loyalty to the
cause of silver pervaded the whole con-
yention. The delegates were keenly
alive to the critical situation in the
county, and nominated men who were
uncompromisingly in favor of the
financial doctrine of the Chicago plat
form.
The feature of the convention was
the speech of Mr.. L. j.. Smith, who for
an hour and a half ably discussed the
issues of the day. The following is the
ticket: John J. Calling, legislature;
r. o. Riddick, sheriff; Lycurgus Halter,
register of deeds; II. Cross, treasu-
rer; John @. Halter, coroner; w. It.
Eason, surveyor; r B. G. Cowper,
Riddick Halter and Nathaniel Eure,
commissioners.
The convention was ably presided
over by Mr.. S. /. Harrell, of Sunsbury.

Ticket and Break up in Row.
Winston, N c., Sept. 49, Especially -
The Republicans held their county con-
vention here to-day. The ticket was
fixed up in a caucus before the conven-
ton. There were contesting delega-
tions from two wards in Winston, but
the Reynolds faction had the ticket
nominated while the committee were
cut trying to decide who were entitled
to seats in the convention. This raised
''rumpus," and many negroes declare
they will not support the ticket put up.
However, the Reynolds faction expect
to whip the opposition back into line.
Some of the negroes said before the
convention they expected to be repre-
scented on the ticket, but all of the can
didates are, as usual, white men. w. p.
Ormsby and j. Il. Grubbs were named
for the House; IL. t. Knapp for sheriff;
w. "A. Lemly, j NJ. Long and w. A.
Lowry for county commissioners.
The Republicans had big rally
south of Salem this afternoon, the oc-
casion being speeches by Russell, can
didate for Governor, and Ell. A. Gudger,
State elector Some 1000 white and
colored people turned out. Republi-
cans admit that RusselIs speech was
weak and disappointing He talked tar
iff, election laws in the South, and
abused the Democrats, saying their
platform meant anarchism, commun-
ism, etc. Before the st. Louis conven-
ton, Russell was a strong silver man,
just like nearly all of the other Re
publican office seekers and politicians.
He emphasized the statement to-day
that he would not withdraw from the
race unless removed by death, in which
event another good Republican would
take up the banner and carry it until
the last ballot was voted. Gudger
who was Democrat up to few
months ago, by the use of an anecdote
used by the late Senator Vance, made
catchy" speech. He addressed the
Democrats just like he did the Republi-
cans, before he "fopped."

(Kerner) was entirely responsible for
telling Mr.. Jones, the proprietor of the
hotel, that the Mckinley club would
pay the hotel bill of S. Ohio Wilson on
his recent trip to that town. The
question still is, why was the Mckinley

anxious to pay the bill of the political
missionary, unless he was there in the
interest of Mckinley?

Manchester, Va, Sept. 1S.-Mr. Bry-
an spoke briefly from the car platform,
saying his trip through North Carolina
had been exceedingly pleasant and ex-
pressing his qualification because of
the interest in the campaign manifest
ed by the people of the State.
Virginia was invaded by the party
at Emporia and there the nominee told
the people he was to meet the citizens
of the State in which his father was
born.
At Petersburg the public square was
filed with an eXpectant and enthusi-
astic audience. Mr.. Bryan spoke about
five minutes saying in part:
'The Democratic party as Chicago
adopted platform. That platform
has driven from the party a few who
formerly acted with the party CA
voice, "Let them go.") (Applause) ]

Democrat from voting as he pleases. /
have never heretofore asked any Dem
ocrat to violate his conscience or to
act contrary to his best judgment and
young as / am, | am too old to COM
mence now. (Applause.)
The Democratic party has spoken.
The Democratic party has written its
platform. The Democratic voters In
convention assembled had a right to
write the platform and any man who
does not like that platform can get out
of the party and call himself some thing
else. (Applause.)
What / mean to say is this, that
man who objects to what the Demo
cratic party did has a right to object
but be has no right to try to call him
self Democrat. (Applause.) =
Il want him to know that when the
Democratic party is engaged in a
struggle as it is now, that any man
who deserts in the face of the enemy
will never get back unless he comes in
sackcloth and ashes. Great Applause.)
1--WE ask no quarter from those who
are ashamed to say that they are going
to vote the Republican ticket and yet
intend to vote the Republican ticket.
(Applause.) / say we ask no quarter
of them, and we expect to give them
no quarter either"
At Manchester a short stop was made
and Mr.. Bryan spoke a few moments,
and then the train pulled across the
river to Richmond.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 18.-Wm. j.
Bryan's reception at the Auditorium
in Richmond tonight was one of the
most, if not the most, enthusiastic re-
ception of this campaign. The Auditor
ium was packed to the doors and from
floor TO gallery, when he arrived there
at 8:45. Some other meetings have
been greater in point of attendance, but
Richmond must be given the banner for
the amount of enthusiasm expressed.
Ten minutes elapsed before the cheer
ing that followed Mr.. Bryan's entrance
ceased and there was another outburst
when he was presented by Senator
Daniel.
There was much disorder during Mr..
Bryan's delivery, but he managed to
make himself heard to nearly every
body. On the conclusion of the Audito-
rum speech, he addressed a great
throng from the balcony of the Jeffer-
son Hotel, where he is stopping. His
speech here was short and on the
general lines pursued by him in his
other speeches.

THE RAILROADS AND THE GOLD
STANDARD.

The Richmond Dispatch calls atten-
ton to the campaign for gold being
waged by President Ingalls,, of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and
scores good point:
"Whatever may be Mr.. ingalls,
personal history, it certainly does
not become any representative of
the Chesapeake and Ohio road to
talk contemptuously of the men
or corporations who scale down
their debts. The Chesapeake and
Ohio is the successor, and, to some
extent, the beneficiary, of corpora
tions that have operated that line
and have passed into 'innocuous
desuetude' without paying the av-
erage creditor even SO much as
So cents on the dollar"
Not few of the railroad men who
are crying out loudest against any
"repudiation of honest debts" have
spent their lives wreclSing railroads,
and seeking methods by which they
could swindle the stockholders. 1t
was at the dictation of the railroad
owners that President Grant packed
the Supreme Court to obtain the legal
tender decision. While there are as
honest men in the railroad business as
any other, it is a well known truth
that nearly every big system at one
time or another, has been manipulated
or watered until the time has come
that they cannot be managed so as to
gain the confidence of investors, unit!
they are backed by some rich and
strong banking house. The interest
of the owners of railroads is to have
free coinage, am expansion of business,
but most of them are controlled by
the banking houses watch aaadle their
bonds.
