THE LATE MAI. MAYO-A BRAVE
SOLDIER.

To the Editor:-Major J. NJ. Mayo was
born in the upper part of Edgecombe
county, n. c., in 1887, or 1888, and was
killed by an Atlantic Coast Line train
in FLORENCE, S. c., in June II, 1897.
He was an apt scholar and ambitious
from boyhood. He was an untiring
worker, and to his friends he was
close friend, kindly disposed and gener-
Gus to man and church, and no drawer
son did the old North State send to
the front. Edgecombe county furnished
the first martyr to the Southern cause.
in Henry Wyatt; the first volunteer to
leave her borders for Charleston and the
war was Mr.. j. NJ. Mayo. After the fall
of Fort Sumpter. he came home organic
ed a company and commanded it for
long while at Fort Fisher. He, with his
company, was at Newbern when that city
fell into Federal hands, and when he was
ordered to retreat with his company he
turned to the officer giving the command
and asked if that order was official.
Col. Lee replied that it was. Then he
said: You are my superior officer and /
shall have to obey, but | do it under
protest" The order for retreat was
given, but he, with two or three of his
men stood still, he remarking that the
enemy should not have the magazine
(Which had in it thousands of pounds
of POWDER He ordered his orderly ser
geant to trail from the magazine a guam
tity Of powder, but in the hurry of the
moment, the Federals being close upon
them the trail was made too thick and
when the match was applied, it was an
instantaneous and continuous flash to
the body of the powder Timbers and
logs flew high in the air. his eyes were
burned and blinded, his leg broken; and
at this juncture, his faithful orderly ser
geant took him upon his back, and with
one or two others. were trying to escape
when they were captured and | am cred
IDLY informed that while in prison, blind
and wounded. he interceded with the
Federal officials and had those two or
three faithful men released ahead of him
self. For this heroic service he was
promoted to Major in regiment of cav
airy, through the influence Of Gen. u. III.
Hill. A short time after this, in making
a dash into the Federal lines, he was
again captured and made a prisoner on
Johnson's Island until the close of the
war He met his death among strangers
his life long friends and remaining old
comrades being here and his devoted wife
and children being in far away Florida
1t makes this writer sad to chronicle
the death of one of his oldest and best
friends. j. NJ. CUTCHIN.

SHORE ASHAMED OF NEPoTIsM.
He Tries Now to Deny That he Intro
duced That Nephew Resolution.

Shore, n. c., June %, 1897.
To the Editor: My attention has been
called to an article in your paper, reIa-
tive to the resolution electing Ned Shore,
of Kernersville, usher of the State Mu-
scum, which does me very great lnJas-
tice. The resolution was misstated by Mr..
Joyce, of Reidsyille, member of the
Board, and was requested by Commits
sioner Mewborne and Secretary Ram
say, who expressly stated that they fully
intended to appoint Ned, but desired the
Board TO relieve them Of the response
bility. l handed in the resolution to the
secretary together with the resolution
electing a committee ON immigration and
in response to inquiry by some of the
Board l told who Ned was was and
where he was from and that he was a
page in the last Legislature, that his re-
cord there mighty plead his cause. The
statement that / made a ''pitiful plea"
and said, "my heart was set on his ap-
pointment" is absolutely false. You We're
evidently misinformed.
] seldom take notice of abuse and cri-
ticsm in newspapers especially when
they come from the enemy, as did this
statement, but this was too fragrant a
Misrepresentation to let go without cor
rection.
Very respectfully,
S. II. SHORE.
1.-THE minutes kept by the secretary,
Mr.. J. l.. Ramsay, record Mr.. Shore as
the introducer of the resolution. Mr..
Ramsey also informed the reporter that
Ned Shore is Mr.. Shores nephew, &
fact which Mr.. Shore does not deny.
Another member of the Board is author
ity for the statement that Shore made
a speech asking for the passage of his
resolution, and saying that it was the
only request that he (Shore) had ever
made Of the Board. Mr.. Shore admits
that he made a speech in favor OF the
resolution; as to whether it were
"pitiful plea or not is a matter of per-
sonal opinion. Ed

Throwing Rice and sIlppers.

In the September Ladies' Home Jour
nal Edward w. Box notes the abuse OF
the pretty custom of casting a small par
Gel OF rice or dainty slipper after de-
parting bride and groom-an upspolen
Godspced. THE dainty slipper" he
also says. has been transformed
into the old shoe OF doubtful origin. and
thrown with force and accuracy, causing
no end OF discomfort. And this is what
two pretty customs have dcgenera;ed
into. They have been vulgarized, and,
therefore. the sooner they pass into dis
use the better. The sentiment OF the
customs have been lost. Rice and shoes
are no longer omens Of good luck. The
modern throwcr OF them has transformed
them into missiles with which TO annoy
and mortify the bride and groom. The
better class ofpeople have already begun
To substitute a shower OF rose petals. and
this new and far more beautiful idea is
rapidly being followed. We might have
preserved the old customs. but we have
not. Henccforth, promiscuous rice
throwing and the casting OF old shoes at
weddings will be left TO tho Doors of our
modern society. into whose hands thsse
acts have fallen. and who seem happiest
when they can convert the graceful Gus
toms OF olden times into practical jokes.

some poor grades have been thrown on
