THE FIRST REGIMENT AN HONOR
TO THE STATE.

The people of North Carolina honor
the brave and manly members of the
First Regiment of volunteers who are
now once more restored to their homes.
every courtesy and show of regard. and
made to feel that they have won a place
in the grateful esteem of the people of
the whole State.
The receptions given in every commu-
nifty in the State from which the volun-
teers went forth to war have been all
that could have been expected. They
have stirred the people of the State with
pride and enthusiasm. From the first
day to the last the North Carolina troops
bore themselves as soldiers and as gen
tlemen. worthy SONS of the brave men
whose courage made Robert f. Lee say.
''God bless North Carolina"
The people owe lasting debt to the
gallant young men who responded to the
call of their country one year ago. AT
personal sacrifice they left their fami-
lies and their positions to respond to the
call. They return after honorable SER
vice to take their places with their fell
low citizens in the ranks of business
life Some of them will return to the
positions they held when they enlisted.
ItAmay. be that among them there are
those who cannot secure their old ~.
sitions and who do not know where they
will find employment. The substantial
men of each community ought to give
the preference of employment to these
brave men who are none the less heroes
because they were not assigned to those
commands that stormed San Juan hill.
They We're ready to go where the bray
est love to de-" and now that they have
returned home they ought not merely to
be met with brass bands, banquets and
words of eloquent welcome. These they
ought to receive-they richly deserve
them--but in business they ought to be
given the preference and made to feel
in every practical way that their sac
rifices are appreciated

HIS CONVERSION PAID WELL
Newton Enterprise.)

Judge Ewart established a precedent
in the Federal court ut Statesyille Tues
day that will have tendency to swell
the ministerial ranks in the mountains.
A man from Wilkes was convicted of
selling liquor without license, and his
lawyer, Marsh Mott, in pleading for
mercy, set up in eXtenuation of the
crime, that his client had within the last
two years joined the church and is now
Ia preacher, and breaches every Sunday.
Judge Ewart, who is the biggest heart
ed man we ever saw on the bench,
thought such radical reformation
should be rewarded, and rightly, we
think, let the man off with the costs.
