The auxiliary cruiser Hornet which
was yesterday turned over to Com
mander George L. Morton, at Norfolk,
lima naval militia, will sail from Nor
8 folk Monday. She rs expected here by
Tuesday Of Wednesday.
The Hernet made quite a record in
the recent war with Spain. She was
engaged in the blockade around Ha-
yana and being a fast vessel, she made
several captures. One of the crew Of
the captured ship SandOval, now in
Wilmington, on her way to Norfolk,
says he saw a French liner try to run
the blockade, and run away from the
other United States vessels, but the
Hornet was lying close in shore n
went for her like a flash. A gun was
fired across the liners bow, but she
paid no attention, so the Horne sent
a shell at the impudent steamer and
raked off her bridge, killing the cap
tain and the pilot.
WILL LEAVE MONDAY.
"A. press dispatch last night from Nor
folk says:
"Thirty-five naval reserves from
Wilmington, N. c., are here to take
the converted yacht Hornet to North
Carolina waters, the navy department
having assigned her ITO the ava re-
serves Of tina state. The vessel is un-
dergoing repairs at the navy yard n
may be ready for departure Monday

Closing the Breach

President * speech at At
lanta yesterday afternoon is destined
to become historic in the record OF the
reunion of the states. Aside from the
ovation which he had received prior to
its delivery, out of the enthusiasm Of
he people over their chief executive,
the words which he spoke expressive
of a desire for a truly national Memo
rial day suggest that a long step has
been taken toward the final closing OF
the breach the sections which
has been steadily narrowing year by
year since the close of the war. The
wal with Spain did more than any pre-
vious event to bring the peoples of the
two sections nearer together. A new
Americanism was born which has thriv
en- and proved an element of great ma
tional strength, teaching Europe a les
son which it will never forget, the les
SON of the hQmogeneity of the Ameri-
can people.
Now comes the president Of the Unit
ed States, a veteran Of the civil war, a
soldier of the north, a republican, rep
resenting in his personal capacity all
the traditions which were and are op-
posed to disunion, n he says to the
people of the SOUTH, in his executive
capacity: THE time has come when we
ShOuld share with you in the care of the
graves of the confederate soldiers"
He spoke then from the northern point
of view, as evidenced by his use OF the
pronou I'VE" 1t was the call Of the
new brotherhood of the union, the
voice of the patriotism engendered or
reawakened by the war with Spain.
There is little wonder that these words
electrified his hearers and continue to
startle the people of the whole south
as they realize that a northerner and
a union soldier, filling the office of pres
ident, has extended the right hand of
fellowship and has proposed to honor
the graves of the men who fell while
fighting to disrupt the union.
President Mckinley has evidently
taken this step deliberately and hope
fully. He doubtless appreciates fully
the fact that despite the talk of reun-
ion for the past two decades the mem
cries of the war have been cherished by
the generation which personally partic-
ipated in the struggle and W. in large
measure passed to the generation fol-
lowing. The sharp line of demarka-
ton between the northern and n
southern o~bservances of Memorial day
has continued to indicate the survival
of undesirable bitterness. II now SOM
advancement can be made toward n
president evidently believes, steps will
have been taken to close the gap per-
manently.
The grand meaning of that day will
not be lost by such an innovation. II
Will rather be ~accentuated. The dav
means union. What could be more sig
nificant of union than the joining OF
hands over the graves of the men who
died in the struggle between the sec
tons?
President Mckinley has shown his
fellowmen of the north, with whose
ideals be fully sympathizers, the true
way to victory over prejudice. While
the south is cheering his words the
north should be echoing them.-wash-

Enlarging Their Factory

We learn that the door,, sash and
blind factory of the Fore & Foster
Company, in this city, n the COM
pany's saw mill and dry kiln plant at
Castle Haynes, as we'll, have been en-
another new railroad switch is being
put in to accommodate the increased
output. Additional machinery is also
to be put in to meet the demands for
h company's manufactures.
The Fore & Foster manu-
features doors, sash, blinds, mould
ings, n everything in the way Of fin
ishings for houses, and they have a
large and growing trade in North Car
DINA, South Carolina and Georgia, be-
sides several northern states as high
up as New Hampshire and as far west
as Chicago. The establishment is
Of Wilmington's most prosperous in
the advantages which our city, with
it's excellent rail and water ~transporta-
ton, offers for manufacturing.
BY the way, in the proceedings of the
NoNAN VI NoAAAt I'll LIZ
9Th instant, it would appear that Colo
mel Fosters resignation as a member
of the board of education was Just ten
dered, whereas several months ago,
as the record shows, all the members
of the board Of education rendered
their designations when the court de-
cided that they could not hold two Of
fices--that Of county commissioners
and members Of the board of educa-
ton. Colonel Foster, by his influence,
was largely responsible for preventing
a local republican ticket from being
run and thus aided the cause of good
government He subsequently acted in
harmony and was in daily commune
cation with the democratic leaders. As
the head Of a prosperous manufacture
ing establishment, and being heartily
interested in he industrial develop
ment of Wilmington, he realized what
his duty was, and since we learn the
facts we mention this to do justice to
him Eor the part he took in the mat

The good book says that Job was a

world, the flesh and the devil thous-

never travel around much except on
railroad and steamboat lines may not
feel like the editor of the Times on
the subject of public roads, but IL the
brethren will take to the woods for a
short time and breathe some fresh
country air, they will agree with the
editor On humanitarian grounds that
good roads are just as much a necessity
almost as the war between Spain and
the United States. Just here in con-
nection with our subject We can dis
tinctly recall the fact that a certain

idly came to the front and made won

GfZZard French I'm RALEIGH

The Raleigh Post of yesterday says:
"Gizzard French, sometimes called G..
T., and one of the Wilmington Danish
ed, arrived in the city yesterday from
his farm at Rocky Point, a short dis
lance out from Wilmington.
When Giz alighted from the train
the governors valet flew to his side
and relievd him of his luggage. Rev.
Baylus Cade, private secretary and
chaplain to his excellency, greeted the
b~ewhiskered visitor and escorted him
to the Russell carriage which was in
waiting. Behind Gizzard, but attract
ing less attention, were two other gen.
tlemen, who shared seats in the ar
rage. They were H.. U. Buffers, of
Hub, N. c., and guest, a gentleman
from the north, who is visiting him.
Some one heard MI. Buffers name pro-
nOunced and mistook it for Bunting.
Then the report became current that
Bunting, of negro wife fame, was in the
city and had come here with French to
appear before the grand jury.
"The carriage took the party first to
the capitol, but ascertaining that the
governor was at the mansion, the drive
was continued there. Gizzard will be
the guest of the governor while in the
city.
Late in the afternoon a representa-
tive of this paper found the noted Wis
itOr at the executive mansion. 1--WE got
nothing to say for publication" was
the chilling greeting hat Gizzard gave
me. The conversation was opened and
hen Giz. did say just a few things.
"To start with he declared that he
had not been summoned or subpoen-
aed here to appear as a witness before
the federal grand jury and that he had
no idea Of so doing. my visit is on
personal business" he remarked.
"And then the conversation turned
to Wilmington and the days of the riot.
The impression prevails that Giz. left
town with a rope around his neck, ex-
cited hands clutching his prolific
beard and several Winchesters direct
ed towards his person.
MY case has been grossly misrepre-
sented in the newspapers" Mr.. French
volunteered. Il had previously intend
ed to leave Wilmington the day of the
shooting. as l had business at my farm
that demanded my presence. 1 had
made my arrangements to leave when
l met the crowd. They thrust guns
all about me and tried to make me
promise that l would never return. I
refused to do this and that is what
made them mad. No personal vio-
lence was lone to me. AS I said, my
case has been much misrepresented.
Several citizens came to my protection
when a crowd threatened me with
guns"
Mr.. French said he had been on his
farm at Rocky Point since the riot"
