SHALL WE HAVE THE ARMY POST?

For half dozen years the progressive
men of Raleigh have been deyising
means looking to securing the location
of an army post ut the capital of the
State. Committees have visited Wash
ington, bills have been introduced in
Congress, and public meetings have been
held by the Chamber of Commerce with
the desire to bring the attention of the
authorities to Raleigh as q proper To-
cation. ~
Until recently all these efforts have
been fruitless, and until Il few weeks
ago the hope of an army post had al
most been given up. With the out
break of hostilities between this
country and Spain, the matter was re-
viyed, with the favorable result that
the location of the post in Raleigh is as
sured, If the people of the city, will donate
Il suitable site. After examining many
sites, the committee, which has been
diligent and intelligent in the discharge
of its duty, has selected the Tucker
farm. few miles from Raleigh, near
the village of Method. Both systems of
railroads that reach Raleigh run
through the magnificent farm, and it is
pronounced an ideal site.
1t is not necessary for us to dwell
upon the value of an army post to
Raleigh. Every citizen knows that in
a business sense it would bring many
thousand dollars to tne city annually,
increase trade in all lines, and add to the
Importance and growth of the city. An
intelligent gentleman said a few days
ago that as a pure business matter an
army post would benefit Raleigh more
than three big cotton factories. 1t
woud certainly be worth several times
what the original cost Of the site would
be, and as plain business investment
would bring yearly dividends that
would satisfy the safest and most pru-
dent investor.
The city Of Raleigh will have the
army post il it win raise the ten thou
sand dollars necessary to buy the pro-
perty selected. As we understand it, the
property will cost $4,000. Two sub
scriptions of $500 each have already
been made, and it is now necessary to
raise ten thousand dollars more. As
soon as that is done, the Secretary OF
War will take the necessary steps te
establish an army post that will be of
great value to Raleigh in many ways.
The public-spirited members of the
committee, who have given much time
to this important mater, will ask the
citizens to contribute generously and
promptly SO that the army post may be
n fixed and permanent addition to our
popula ton without delay.
Let the responses be ready and let
the contributions be on large scale, in
keeping with the great value the post
would be to Raleigh and the State.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TAR HEELS.

DR.. Il. L. Dixon, of Cleveland county,
who is ready to 90 to the front, has two
boys ut school at Trinity college. They
are twins and just nineteen years old.
When war was declared they wrote and
asked their father for permission TO
join the Shelby military company. In
their letter they said that they did not
desire to enlist without their fathers
permission, but closed by reminding the
Doctor that when he was a boy he ran
away from home to join the Confederate
army.
1t is of such stuff that the young men
North Carolina will send to the from;
are made. They love their country and
its flag, and are ready to go wherever
Old Glory waves.
