Relative Recalls Incidents In His Old AgeHis Personal
Appearance.

To the Editor: | notice an article III
Sundays issue of the News and OBJ
server copied from the i. City Econo-
mist, in which the writer says he be-
lieves himself to be the only living
person who has a distinct recollection
Of Hon Nathaniel Macon'S personality.
AS we all know, Mr.. Macon was
native of Warren county. my own coun-
ty, and | knew at least one person in
that county who recolects Nr. Macon
we'll. My father. Mr.. Joseph Speed
Zones. has Il distinct recollection of Mr.
Macon.
While riding with him q few months
ago we passed the old Milan homestead
and he then related an incident which
goes to show that Mr.. Macon was 4
close observer-even Of Httle things. I'll
incident was this: Ny father. among
other young people Of the neighborhood.

and among the older guests was Mr..
Macon. During the evening, games
were proposed among them selling tn

In this particular instance my father

across the room two or three times

owed the young lady to walk around
him.
Mr.. Macon observed the act and call
cd him aside and said, You are my
kin and therefore | want to tell yor
that YOU did wrong just nov-you should
have turned and allowed the young lady
to wait for you"
Ny father is eighty-three years young
and his mind is active and clear, anc
has rs vivid recollection of Mr. Macot
as any person now living, | suppose.

Capt. q. K. Smith, OF Henderson, who
IS interesting himself iii the matter OF
having statues OF the two most eminent
North Carolinians placed in the capital
It Washington i'll the spaces set apart
for that purpose according to acr Of Con-
@%cSs Of 1898, thinks that of all othe 5
Nat Macon and Zcb Vance are the men
10 select. And i'll this lie finds plenty
others to agree with him.
Desiring to learn something of the
personal appearance Of Mr. Macon as he
looked to one who knew him, Capt.
Smith wrote 10 the venerable Mr.. James
y. Egerton. late Of Warren county. but
now living i'll R2leigh and asked him To
give his recollections Of that very re-
markable man. To this request Mr..
l1gerton promptly replied and from his
letter we are permitted to make the fol-
lowing extract:
My memory Of Mr.. Macon to-day is as
iIllelibIy fixed in my mind as though

The resolve of this government Cnow
that so many points Of advantage have

ment is still refusing to admit the

seems to be due to growing conviction
that such course is the only way to
force Spain to sue for cessation Of
hestllltIes and settlement OF the issue.
1t Is the only course left open In view Of
the evident intention Of Spain to gain
time in the hope that something will
turn up to shape matters so that the
worst may be in some way averted.
The purpose Of the active operations
which are ordered-the immediate TAX
ing of Puerto Rico and the naval dem
onstration against Spain, Is to arouse
public opinion IN that country and to
bring the Spanish government to a de-
cision. It seems to be the general opIn-
ion In Europe, as well as in this country,
that the aggressive movements now
undertaken are in their very nature de-
cisive, and will have the desired effect.
The course to be taken will emphasize

ditlons to close of this war that are

assent Of Spain to them. The two com
