CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Larger Appropriations for Soldiers
Home-Capt. Parker President.

AAOIBS-OdpIs dFker 1reSlu6nI.
The annual meeting of the Confederate
Veterans Association of North Carolina
took place in the Senate chamber of the
capitol, President p. e. Hines in the
chair, and Capt. G. B. benson secre-
tary.
A large number of veterans were pres
ent, and the minutes of the meeting Of
1896 were read and adopted.
The secretary read his annual report,
which reviewed briefly the events of the
year pertaining to the interests of the
veterans, but dealt chiefly with the ne
cessity to make greater provision for the
veterans who are disabled, and in need
of the care and protection Of the Sol
diers' Home. He showed from CORE
spondence with the authorities of all the
States of the South, that most of them
had made larger appropriations for their
invalid Confederate soldiers, and that
the present sum in this State ($S,5OO) was
totally inadequate. He gave the statistics
of the various States, and closed with
an earnest appeal for a nappropriation
sufficient to maintain at least 200 vete-
rams in comfortable and substantial
buildings.
On motion of Col. f. NJ. Parker, the
report of the secretary was adopted, and
on motion of Mr.. A. Il. Stronach, it was
resolved that 500 copies of the report be
printed and it be sent out to every
camp in the State.
On motion of Capt. W. Ii. Day the fol-
lowing committee was appointed to me-
morialize the General Assembly in be-
half of the Soldiers Home alnd the vet
Grams of the State: Messrs. James C..
McRae, A. G. Avery, c. B. benson and
w. II. Day.
On motion of Capt John A. Ramsay,
the proceedings of the meeting and re-
port of secretary were ordered to be
printed in the Southland, of Greenville
n. G.
On motion of Mr.. George Leach, reso-
lutions of thanks to Mr.. G. b. Rouss for
his assistance in erecting the shaft at
Winchester, and Of sympathy for him in
his affliction, were adopted.
The annual election of officers being
next in order, the rules were suspended.
and on motion of Major Graham Davis.
Col. X. M. Parker was elected president,
Mr.. George Leach was elected vice-pres-
ident, and on motion of Mr.. r. III. Bat
tie. Capt. G. B. benson was reelected
secretary and treasurer
The newly elected president was es-
corted to the chair, and the retiring and
incoming officers made graceful ad-
dresses.
The Rev. James B. Averitt addressed
the association eloquently upon the i'm
portance of preserving the true history
of the war between the States.

RACING AT THE FAIR.
BUT FOR BAD WEATHER MOST INTEREST
ING SPORT WOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN.
Something Of the Horses Entered--Dr. White
heads WOn--Twq Horses Bred IN
Raleigh Have Y qme.

Mr.. w. j. Carter, who is attending the
Fair, in the capacity of starter for the
races, editor of the horse department OF
the Richmond Times, Is one Of the best
posted men in the South. Talking yes
tcrday with News and Observer re-
porter, Mr.. Carter said:
''The 2:35 class trotting on Tuesday
furnished one of the best contests ever
seen on the Raleigh track. The time
Of the heats was not so fast,
the first heat having been trotted in
2:25A, but the race was genuine con-
test, and each horse was driven to win.
The bay mare Rivet, owned by DR.. w.
II. Whitehead, Of Rocky Mount, aud
trained in George D. Benefits stable,
finally won after seven heats had been
trotted. After the first heat rain began
to fall and made the track heavy, which
accounts for the slow time in the later
heats of the race. Three horses entered
the list of standard speed, each securing
a portion of the purse, viz: Rivet, 2:25A,
by Indian Hill, which stood for first
money in the summary; Lutte Dawson,
2:30, second, and Belle NJ, 2:27h.
third. Lutte Dawson is owned by the
noted Virginia breeder Mr.. Samuel
Walton, while Belle M. halls from An
gusta, Ga, as the property of J. B.
Jones.
"The gentleman road race was not
very interesting, Lady May being the
winner, Emma j. second and Lula Ray
third.
''The running race, three-quarter mile
dash, furnished good sport and went to
Miss Modred, with Gold Bug second and
Jeneola third.
Among the noted horses on the
ground owned in North Carolina which
are entered in the races are the fast
chestnut stallion Bird Eye, 2:1S1b; Lit
tie Tobe, 2:19H, and Gala Lily, 2:2O.
Bird Eye sold in Raleigh at one Of Capt.
Williamson's sales for the paltry sum of
$50. This year he has won race after
race on prominent tracks, defeating large
fields of well known horses in different
States.
Little Tobe, known as the midget
Erotter," is the fastest trotter of his inch
es on the turf. He was bred right here
IN Raleigh, his sire being the famous
Pamlico, now dead, and his dam the hav
pony, Fannie, formerly driven by Mr..
Colin Hawkins to his road cart. Allen
Merrifield, of Baltimore, Little Tobe's
'wner, refused a cash offer of $4,000 for
him. He bought him from Mr., ]. d.
8oushall, of Raleigh.
There are more fast horses on the
rounds, both runners and trotters, than
It any previous meeting, and but for the
'ad weather sport of the most interest
ng kind would have been furnished"

One of Those Delightful Occasions for
Which This School is Noted.
The concert at Peace last night con-
sisted Of an unusually interesting and
we'll balanced programme, and, consid-
ering the short time school has been in
session, il was remarkably well rendered.
1t hardly seems advisable to undertake
a critical analysis of each selection, but
the ensemble numbers demonstrated
thorough and careful training and hard
work.
The piano solos were of a high order
and the vocal pieces introduced three
musical voices who deserved the encores
they received.
The selection rendered by the elocu-
tion pupils, were excellent, as they al
ways are when trained by Miss Caspari,
and the violin playing was never excelled
at any school concert in Raleigh.
Miss Lemon, the vocal teacher at
Peace, sang by request. She possesses
mezzo soprano voice which was thor
0ughly enjoyed. She kindly responded
to an encore.

POPULIST CONFERENCE LAST
NIGHT.
Members of the State Executive Commit
tee Confer With Butler.

tee Confer With Butler.
Until late last night, in his room in
the Marlborough, Senator Marion Butler
was surrounded by some of his close po-
litical friends. A significant fact is that
no one is said to have been present
who was not member Of the Populist
Executive Committee. Congressman
Fowler, Strowd and Shuford State
Chairman Fountain, Angus Shaw, j. B..
Lloyd and others were present.
This conference Of the Senator's lead
ing men in the Populist Executive com
mttee at this time is not without sig
nifcance.
Campaign plans were discussed and
the policy of the Caucasian endorsed.
They all agreed, it is said, that the next
campaign must be fight against corpo-
rations and railroads in particular.
The removal of the Railroad Commits,
sioners was referred to, and Congress
man Shuford is reported to be especially
interested in Caldwell since they are
from the same Congressional district.

THE GRIMES BATTERY.

Grimes Battery left yesterday for
Portsmouth, Va, their home. Owing
to the inclement weather the company
cut their visit short and left on the II 80
Seaboard train yesterday morning. IL
was their intentionfo remain until to-
night, but the outlook for good weather
was so unpropitious that they decided
to return home.
This was much regretted by the people
OF Raleigh. They are as clever a set Of
men as ever marched and Raleigh was
delighted to have them here, and hopes
that this may not be their last visit.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 22.-The direct
ors of the Chamber of Commerce, the
largest and most influential CONNER
cial organization in Baltimore, at a
special meeting today adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That in our opinion the ac-
tion of the Senate Committee on For

the Joint resolution to recognize the
independence of Cuba is against the
public interest and liable TO infict
great damage upon the commercial
and financial interests of this country;
that the Senators and Representatives

by requested to oppose its passage.
The Board of Trade has also passed
resolution opposing the proposed ac-
ton of Congress.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The Board of
Trade today adopted resolutions pro-
testing against the adoption of the
Cameron resolution on Cuba by Con-
gress. The resolutions say the Board

inopportunate at this time.

A Modern Typewriter.

Nowadays we demand modern
things. Our great-grandfathers
used quill pens. They were the best
writing implements then. Few
writer's use them now. They are
out-of-date.
To-day a Typewriter is the most
important adjunct in an office equip
ment. There is no oquestion aboutit
They save time, do the work of
several people.
The Peerless Typewriter
stands out prominently as modern,
up-to-date machine. Itcombines all
the good points of any machine on
the market, while it has none of the
defects found in other makes.

IN STATE.

The body was fully half hour late
in arriving at the Executive building.
The delay occurred at the residence in
Waikiki. When the hearse entered
the big iron gate the regulars, who
were lined up on either side of the
King street, came to present arms.
The Government band struck up soft
and sad strains of music.
At the steps of the Executive build
ing the hearse was received by the
guard of honor, consisting of Lieut..
Col. John II. Soper and Maj. Curtis p
G. Ashley and Capt. \. Gartenberg.

The face of the late American Min
ister plainly tod the weeks of suffer-
ing that he had gone through before
the end came. 1t was pallid and thin.
But the firm and set features, which
characterized Minister Willis all
through life, were there.
The body was in state at the EN-
ecutive building from 80 to 2:30
o'clock, when it was taken to the Cen
tral Union church. During this time
the remains were viewed for the last
time by many hundred citizens.
There was profusion of floral do

most entirely hid the pulpit and choir
rail from view.
