Representative Ray, chairman of the House committee on invalid pensions, has made an important declaration of the policy of the committee regarding the claims of soldiers widows who have remarried and again become wid- Ows. He says that the committee will not report bills in favor of restoring the pension of a remarried widow un- less the following conditions are estab- lished: "She must have been the wife of a soldier during the war. and the soldier must have died either while in the service or after having received an honorable discharge, from some wound or injury received or disease contract ed while he was in line of duty in the service. She must be woman of good character, in necessitous circumstances and now a widow"

English girls are not much like United States girls if Sarah Grand tells the truth about them. In general, she says, the English girl accepts every privilege bestowed upon her, but offers nothing in return, cultivates none of the gentle dignity, the grace with which women can add so much to the beauty of lfe.' And again: When she is out of temper, she does not con- ceal the fact. She walks with stride, she elbows people about in a crowd, she asserts herself on all occa- sions. and tbere is conceited I'm as good as you are sort of air about her, q want of becoming deference to peo- pie older than herself, which is pecu- narly unlovely. not to say offensive, and proclaims her at once underbred and ungenerous.'

At Newton, Catawba county,
Hons. A. Leazer, Thee. =. Klutx

Is also reported that many con-
versions TO Democracy resulted
from the speeches delivered.
1t is reported that six thousand
people attended the Democrat c
rally at Madison to hear Messrs c.
B. Watson, ]. B. Webster and L. b.
Jones. In this place the report
says much good WAS done.
Greenville Democrats were also
out TO hear lions. c. B. Aycock and
Swift Galloway and the speeches
had telling effect. So much so
that. the correspondent says that
the Democrats will carry Pitt coun-
ty and many POpulists returned to
the fold.
RutherfOrdtOn also had the pleas
ure to hear Democracy champions
speak OF the greatness" and IA
deity" OF that party.
Speakings were also had at Ken
ansville, Bahama aud Monroe, and
from each place comes similar re-
ports Of big crowds and many con-
versions.
From all Of the above reports vic
tory is assured to the Democratic
party, and many Populists have
gone back into the party. It can
be easily discerned that these re-
ports were all prepared beforehand
ready for the press. The thou
sands that are reported to have
attended these meetings are ina
ginary with the writer's; and, as to
the Populists returning to the
Democracy, why do not the CORE
spondents give a name or two to
bear out their brazen assertion.
THE CAUCASIAN has received a
report from one Of the above meet
ings, which says:
"Aftsr extensive advertisement
and much beating of tom-toms our
Democratic friends (enemies) sue
ceeded in greeting Cook and Currie
here yesterday with a crowd Of
about three hundred and fifty, in
Guiding the women and children.
Not more than seventy-five people
from the country heard them"
Ii true report could be had from
the other places no doubt the same
success in getting the "crowds" to
hear Democratic speakers eulogize
the party as the "white metal and
white mans party. would be the
same as we received from Monroe.

THE CAUCASIAN has received sew
Eeral reports Of the meeting above
alluded to. They will be found else

The above figures are taken from the
official report Of the State and county
settlement. Deny or dispute one figure
in the above, Mr.. News and Observer,
if you can. Twist them, juggle them
if you will. but you cannot find a flaw
in the above statement.
OF course the Rep.-Pop. government
will not be given credit for this by
Democratic papers that are afraid to
be honest and give facts as they are,
especially not the News and Observer,
as it's stock in trade is malign criti-
cism and abuse of anything not of its
own.
As to the matter of the taxes not
having been collected in full for settle
ment IN May, great number of the
good citizens of Wake county know,
especially ought two members of the
News and Observer staff know, it was
because they had not the money to pay,
and asked for further indulgence,
which tie Sheriff granted. Did the
News and Observer want the Sheriff
to levy upon the few personal effects
belonging to the delinquents and sell
same III order that it might make big
headline story ioht Of it? The Sheriff
exhausted every means except the
above to collect. A number paid 10
cents a week, others a5 cents, while
some paid sl.c1 per month to pay their
taxes, being unable to pay it all at one
time out of their small earnings. These
have now nearly all paid their taxes,
and Sheriff Jones has settled in full
with the county commissioners.
Now we desire tG ask the News and
Observer q question, which occurred to
US in reading the August report of
City Tax Collector Lumsden:
We ask 1t to explain to the good Cit
liens of Raleigh why, if it is wrong
for Sheriff Jones to have an item in
his June report OF $2,65l.4s uncollected,
why is it mt wrong two months later
his report al item as follows:
"Unpaid solvent taxes which
will be collected 7O4.95''
identically the same. though slightly
changed in wording as sheritl Jones
Item that the News and Observer made
so mQSh Of. Why does not the News
and Observer now call upon the eiti-
gems of Raleigh for expressions
upon the above. 1t said that q
number Of people wanted an explana.
ton why Sheriff Jones did not settle
in May. Now let these same citizens
request Mr.. Daniels to ask for an ex-
PLANTATION of the failure of Mr.. I.ums
den to settle in full,
TIE CAUCASIAN does not want it. W.
understand it. We have had some ex
perience in that line. But give it fo1
Che benefit of the public. We believ,
the only explanation that can be Civ Ell

A Fameus Relic.


The old battle flag of the 39th North
Carolina Regiment was carried to the
Confederate reunion at Atlanta by
Sergeant Jno. 8. Keener, of Swain
county, member of company X of the
above regiment. Cherokee county
then embraced Clay and Graham coun-
ties, and the Aath Contained five CON-
papies from this county.
Sergeant Keener gave a Cherokee
Scount reporter the following inter-
esting sketch of this relic:
"On the 10th day of September, 1868,
in the battle of Chickamauga one
William Bre sdon, of Cherokee county,
the color bearer. was shot down. Lieu
tenant 3. II. Cathey caught the fall
ing nag and saved it FROM going to
the ground. After Carrying it for.
ward for some little time, he turned it
over to Joe Sutton, of Company X.
That night j. w. Shelton, of the same
company, was made permanent color
bearer and carried it to bis credit and
honor till the close of the struggle
| Lieutenant r. Fl. Brown concealed the
dag and carried it hame. 8. NJ. Truett
also carried the old tag for awhile al
Qhickamauga. Cherokee county is en-
titled to much more credit for the ser.
vicesof the 39th regiment than any
other county,"
SerSsnant keener prizes the oil,
nag highly, and wouldn't part With
for any confederation.
