Netherlands Want TO See the Raleigh

The New Bern Journal of yesterday
says:
There are many inquiries as to
whether the Atlantic Coast Line will
run a special train from here to Will
mington, when the cruiser Raleigh
visits hat port. There are enough in
terested to fill a good sized special, and
it is hoped the Atlantic Coast Line will
give New Bernians the opportunity to
see the famous cruiser, and at a low
rate for the round trip"

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.

Every indication is that the reun ion
in this city will be the most salts
factory in the history of the United
Confederate Veterans. More money
has been subscribed than in any of
the other reunion cities, and the end
is not vet. 1t is the intention of the
gentlemen in charge of this gather
ing to have every visitor leave the
city a walking advertisement of the
thorough manner in which Charles
ton accomplishes its undertakings,
socially and commercially. Nearly
$15. 900 have been raised, and the
sources of contribution have by no
means exhausted. In addition to the
funds secured for the entertainment
of the Veterans the city has expended
over $4,000 in the erection Of the
handsomest auditorium in the South
ern States. There is another very
significant indication of the genera

all the money raised not $500 have

The Georgia Horrors.
wilmington Messeng9r.l }

The way Sam Hose, the murderer
and rapist in Georgia was so cruelty
dealt with, will be condemed in that
State and in other States in the
South. 1t was barbaric. Hose was a
human devil and deserved richly to
die, but white men can not afford to
initiate savages in cruelty and in
mutilating the bodies OF the dead.
In the case of Strickland he was
probably a public disturber and in
eendiary with q bad name. Under
the circumstances, however, the mob
would have been both wise and merci-
full to have needed the appeals and
persuasion of Major w. w. Thomas.
His conduct showed like the better
class of whites his feelings and
sympathies were kindly to the ne
groes, and his appeal was magnan-
imous and humane. What grand
scene that was so full Of dramatic
possibilities, when the gallant old
gentlemax. brave Confederate
officer, stood up fearlessly and
defiantly for his employed negro
| whose life hung in the balances, and
told the mob that he had not yet
learned to fear, much less to run,
| and he would not obey their mandate
] to leave town. 1t is a mistake in
visiting swift justice upon confessed
| murderers or suspected criminals,
to initiate the bad examples OF
l hoodoo darkies in the Louisina
swamps. Men of the Anglo-Sa1or
! race as most of the Southern native
whites are, should be elevated, toe
self-respecting, too ''full Of the mill

scribed by several recent travellers

THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED.

1t is more than likely that the
press of North Carolina will not soon
forget the select little circle of Solo
mons who smothered the libel bill in
the last Legislature. Newspapers
are usually vehicles for everybody's
convenience, but once in a while
some of the papers discover that they
are being ridden to death and they
develop bucking qualities, resulting
in the throwing of somebody. Some
of the Smart Alecks who handled the
libel bill will realize one of these
days that they made mistake some
where. They may plead that they
were so busy with the law to pro-
hibit fishing for suckers in June and
July and the law to make Banner
Elk a lawful fence that they could
not look after the libel bill. But
nobody will believe it.-''Tattler," in

Marching Under The Flag.
(Atlanta Constitution. }


One Of the most pleasing incidents
of Confederate Memorial Day through
out the South was the marching of
the Muscogee Confederates under the
flag.
Georgia was one of the colonies
which joined fortune with her sisters
along the Atlantic seaboard to make
that flag. She gave the territory
which furnished two new States to
the Union, and proudly shared the
increasing glory of that flag all the
way up from the revolution, through
the war of 1912, until American arms
in the war with Mexico made the Rio
Grande and Pacific ocean our boun-
daries. Then in the pail of in
ternecine strife came division, a new
flag and a struggle in which men fell
exhausted upon the field, but not de-
feated in spirit.
1t was from Columbus that came
the suggestion that the fresh flowers
of spring should ever memorialize
the brave dead of the Confederacy.
Ever since, our faithful women have
kept Memorial Day as tryst with
the dead, and they have taught it to
their children that they should do
the same.
But now we have reached new
era, and the flag which our revolu-
tionary forefathers baptized in hero
ism has been restored to our affec-
tions. Ours to love and to cherish
and to protect, with never a rift in
the future and in full brotherhood
with our veteran adversaries who car
ried it along in one war to lose it to
their then antagonists in another.
The history of the world shows no
parallel to this. Nations have been
blindly massed against each other
and cherished animosities which
only died with their own existence.
Even in England, which furnished a
rare example of harmony between
opposing factions in the blending of
the roses, hundreds of years were re-
quired before unity became a fact.
In our country alone have the peo-
pie of the same generation which
fought a war come together in peace,
furnishing an example of the defeat
ed party becoming the foremost in
| the fight for the glory of the old flag!
And all of this, remember, without
| the surrender of tradition, principle
or self-respect. Together they have
come in the integrity of their en-
vironment. and joined hands as
| equals in national development.
The Muscogee Confederates have
done we'll in following where Con-
federate Joe Wheeler led, when he
bore the Stars and Stripes up the
steep ascent of San Juan hill.

THE energy with which some
white men are seeking to defeat the
constitutional amendment by mis-
representation could be better en-
ployed in some other way. These
men have an axe to grind, and it is
well enough to beware Of them. The
proposed amendment to the con-
stitution does not contemplate the
disfranchisement OF single white
man whether or not he can read OIL
write or would know the constitution
when he saw it. The sole object o.
the amendment is to secure white
supremacy in the State in every sec
tion.-ClintOn Democrat.

after day American columns ADVANCED
through town and cities from 1000 to
10000 population. The fact is, as
shown by the last census, that the
population of the whole island Of
Luzon average more persons to the
square mile than many parts OF the
United States. BY the census Of
1890 Illinois had si1ty-eight persons
to the square mile of territory. and
Indiana had sixty-one. Luzon, by the
census af 1889, had seventy-nine.
There are parts of Luzon which are
mountainous and almost uninhabited.
The population is concentrated
largely in the richer portions. In
many provinces the population ex-
ceeds 200 to the mile. which is greater
density than is found in any State of
this country except Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island.
Luzon is not nearly the most
densely populated island in the
Philippines. The entire island of
Cebu averages 40 people to the
square mile. while Bohol has 1873 and
Panay has 1856"
