CARE FOR THE DEAD.
Movement to lrclose the Confederate
Cemetery at Weldon.

We have been asked by an esteemed
lady friend OF Weldon to print the
following article from the Roanoke
NeWS. which explains itself. We are
quite sure there are those among our
readers who will be glad to con-
tribute to so worthy an object.
Contributions may be sent direct to
Mrs. Davis. who has consented to act
as treasurer. or Ia this Office and due
acknowledgment will be made of
same and the amount promptly for
warded We copy from last week 5
issue of the Roanoke NetrS As follows:
There are duties which are last
ing and binding alike upon old and
young in each generation. One of
these is the care of the graves of our
own loved and lost. Especially is 1t
our duty to respect and care for those
of the ones who suffered and died
away from home and friends in the
dreadful days of the Civil war.
There were about one hundred
and fifty of these who died in the
hospitals here and were buried in the
old grave yard near Chockavotte.
These graves have never been marked
and the list of the names. which for
long time was preserved, has, UNI
fortunately, been lost, but we know
they are resting there and it is sacred
ground.
For this reason it is the earnest
desire of some who were witnesses OF
and remember their suffering that the
lot shall be enclosed with a substan-
tial fence and in some way marked,
so that it may be distinguished from
less hallowed ground. Some who are
interested in this have promised to
contribute funds for the purpose and
one gentleman has said he will dupli-
cate every dollar to a reasonable
amount which may be raised.
I'VE would also state that Mrs.
Eva Davis has kindly consented to
act as treasurer and has a subscrip-
ton list to which she will gladly add
the names Of any who will contribute
to the fund.
This list VIII be published in the
Roanoke NeWs and left standing until
sufficient sum is acquired for the
work in hand"

Money and Manhood.

Money was never SO powerful as it is
to-day. We are being commercialiZed in
the South at an alarming rate. Capital
and capitalists are being invited, and
they are coming. Our cities are growing
rapidly in wealth and population. 1t is
not at all improbable that the next
census report will show one, if not two,
North Carolina towns with a population
of thirty thousand. Aggregations Of
capital for the development of our re-
sources are being quickly formed, and
great corporations undertaking immense
financial enterprises are springing up
everywhere. Our business life is under
going strange transformations that are
changing our very habits of thought as
well as our MODE of living.
Money is in the air. 1t is on every
heart and tongue. 1t is the insignia
worn by the new found royalty, and the
open gateway to social grace and favor
Our very centres of life and power have
been stormed and captured.
We are now gravely told that it is i'm
possible to run college on old fashioned
business principles. 1t must have an
endowment or go down. And having an
endowment too often means that it has

college at all than that it should do the
bidding OF any one man, whether he is
saint or a sinner. People are throwing
up their hats because of the advent of
this new day. May be they are right
and we wrong, but we are for the old
South with its mule and its nigger; with
Its provincialism and simplicity that
have furnished fun to the cartoOniSts
for many day; with it's sinai! towns
that tried to put on city airs, and failed;
with it's railroads that ran two mixed
trains a day and broke at that! The
South, with all these disadvantages, did
not do the bidding of lot OF nabobs
and money mongers! There are some
things in this world, brethren. that are
better than money one of these things

This is the Truth.

Says an exchange: A newspaper is
not primarily public institution.
1t is not the editor's duty to bear the
expense Of booming the town and
every private and public enterprise
in it, whether it be educational. in
dustrial, commercial or other. The
newspaper mans first obligation is to
making competence for himself and
build up pre- perty-just as in the
case OF the druggist, the hardware
dealer, the dry goods man, the school
teacher, or the mill owner. But peo-
pie do not always look at it in this
light but rather regard the news
paper as vehicle of public use and
convenience medium for the ex-
Ploitation of their private business or
personal affairs without regard to the
publishers consideration or welfare.
