Bill Arlp'S Letter.
Writes About the Remarkable Growth Of the City, Talks
With Northern Man.

Mckinley, of course, but they wall know
by waiting. A Northern imam who has
never been South finds much to interest
and astoalish him. Not long ago Mayor
Dial took one over the city and asked
him what he would like to see specially.
He reallied that he would like very
maIch to see where the negroes live and
how they live. So the mayor drove up
to negro town, where he saw numerous
women and children and heard them
laughing and talking meGrily. What are
they laughing att he inquired Il
didn't know they ever laughed . Why,
said MIR. Dial, ''they laugh all the day
long; they laugh at anything Is It
possible!" exclaimed the Yankee. Sup
nose we stop and ask them what they
are laughing about? My curiosity IS
greatly excited" SO the mayor stopped,
and calling one of the women whom he
knew to the gate, said: Hannah, this
gentleman is from the North-up IN
Gods country-and says me didn't know
that the negroes down here ever laugh
cd. and he wants to know what You were
all laughing about as we drove up.
This, of couse, provoked another spell
and all they got out of them was that
Jimmy axed Mandy which was de mast

stranger was profoundly impressed, and
made note i'm his memorandum book.
Mr.. dial says the new law about yot-
ing works well i'm Mississippi, and has
ceased to excite any comment or dissent.
The negro population, of Meridian, Is
about equal to the white, but there are
o1ay about fifty colored voters-most of
these are teachers. preachers and bar
beers About eighty registered the first
year after the law was passed, but the
number has decreased from year ito year,
and the negro has long since ceased to
take amy interest in politics. Quite a
number of white men have retired from
registration because they can't swear
that they have paid their taxes for the
Two years past. MIR. Dial says that the
registrars office was in his office, and
that officer was uniformly considerable
toward the negroes who applied. Some
of them who couldn't read made right
good answers when called on to explain
"a clause in the constitution, and III he
was d Good negro he was questioned very
lightly and was admitted But some
who could read missed ii a mile and We're

CONFEDERATE MUSEUM.
The Showing From North Carolina is
the Poorest.

To the Editor: The residence of
President Davis during the war, known
as the White House of the Confederacy,
has been purchased and converted into
a Confederate museum. To each South
ern State has been allotted room in
which to collect and preserve her relics
Of the great struggle for Southern lnde-
pendence. The North Carolina room IS
the largest, or one Of the two largest,
in the building. Yet her showing is the
poorest A good start has been made.
That is all
Among the tens Of thousands of North
Carolina homes that sent, not only the
flower of its manhood, but its very seed
corn" to the front, there can be no lack
of interesting relics yet in existence.
Every year sees the loss of many OF
them and the dissolution from their his
torical setting of still more. Collected
and catalogued in the great museum
with its countless visitors, their preserya-
ton will not only be insured, but they
viii be in a position to speak eloquently
10 the world of this truly heroic period
Of our history.
This collection is by no means intended
10 supplant the States collection in Raj
eigh and Wilmington. 1t will rather In
ure to their good Let the movement
get well ah0at, let interest be thoroughly
aroused, and State pride, and there will
be relics enough forthcoming to enrich
ali the collections But it is even more
important to have the Richmond collec-
ton full and thoroughly representative
than to have our home ones so. For
that one must stand the test Of comparl-
son in the casual eye which judges by
the spectacular, the outward and visible
sign.
At the convention of the united Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy, held in Rich
mond last week. committee was APP
pointed to take this matter in hand and
press it TO a successful issue. This come
mittee is formed of Mrs. Lucy Gloss
Parker Henderson, chairman; Miss
Mary Oliver, Newbern; Miss Armistead
Burwell and Mrs J. w. Faison, Char
lotte; Miss Fannie Patton, Asheville;
Mrs. e. r. Neaves, Salisbury; Mrs.
Margaret Arthur Call, Washington.
This committee will at sonce take ac-
tive steps towards collecting relics
portraits, books, papers, clippings and all
other things illustrative and commem-
orative of the war period.
The chairman requests me to say that
she has already had the promise Of two
oil portraits, those of Governor Vance
and Col c. G. Blacknall.
A prominent delegate to Richmond
from Newborn chapter asks me to sug-
gest that every chapter in the State
take this matter in hand and collectively
and individually see that the relics are
promptly collected.
There should be no delay in this work

Maryville, Mo, sept. a7.-An Omaha
st. Louis train load Of excursionists,
returning from the Omaha exposition,
was wrecked ON a bridge over the
Platte river here and all ON board
tremendously escaped injury, The
track spread just before the train
passed upon the bridge and the rails
were torn up. The bridge partially
gave way and the engine and two
coaches topplcd and fell into 1t a short
distance, landing ON some OF the upper
timbers. These proved strong enough
to support them and the passengers,
badly frightened. were able to climb
out OF the windows and doors and
reach solid ground uninjured.
The bridge is twenty feet high where
the coaches struck aud the water in
the river is about equally deep Train
men say that 1t seems like a miracle
that the train OF five coaches, all of
which were heavily loaded with eNcur-
sionists. did not go through.
