Of the Confederate veterans, there
were only two camps besides the l..

well represented. The Cape Fear

veterans in uniform and rank. and

AS the procession passed up the
street a stream of visitors passed up
each sidewalk. the citizens generally
preferring such shade as could be got

on the sidewalks to the hot sun of
the middle of the street. The military
companies kept on around the square,
but the citizens cut through h walk
to the stand.
Owing to the fact that the crouu
| was scattered very much. and hat
only a small part paraded, OF those
who it was intended should dO so. it
is very difficult to estimate the num-
Der present today. The railroads say
that 1900 came into town Tuesday and
yesterday morning. IT this is true,
and the railroads have a more def
cient way of getting at the number
than any one else. There was not less
than 10000 people present at the I'M
yelling.
The ceremonies took place on the
eastern part of the capitol grounds.
All the park benches of the city hau
been secured for the occasion, and a
large platform had been built. from

Of the Vance Family.

Yesterday a red letter page was
written in the history Of North Caro-
lima.
1t was an event-simple in itself,
but Of immense meaning and weight.
1t was the drawing aside by a young
lady, the veil that hid from the view
of the crowd the statue of a man.
But it is the story back of that mans
life and the history of his acts that
makes the scene notable. 1t was the
unwilling of the monument erected
by the people of North Carolina to
their illustrious tribune, Zebulon
Baird Vance.
The crowds hat had come in Tues
dav were either at the homes OF
friends or at the hotels. Unit. a late
hour in the night there was q hum

Hobbies were crowded, and until near
ly yesterday morning, lights were
twinkling along the streets.
The day for the unwilling broke
clear and cloudless. The light breeze
that sprung up in the early morning
cheered the h~eat-tortured multitude
to hope for a cool day, but the breeze
died away, as the sun rode higher and
its pitiless rays bea down ~furiously.
%. such a morning the people came
to witness the unwilling. The orr
ing trains were crowded almost be-
You'd their almost capacity, even
though additional cars were run. The
specials brought still more and the
union depot was almost hidden by the
crowd coming in. Several of the
trains brought military companies.
Others had come during the night.

first to arrive in the morning and

1t is gratifying TO know 'hat our

That intention has been practically
manifested by individual contrlbu-

Holiday Business.

Our enterprising merchants met
with compensation for their efforts on
behalf of their patrons during the
busy Christmas season, and the coun.
ters that were packed and piled with
beautiful toys, ornaments, and fads
and fancies of every description, look
now as though a storm had swept
over them and cleared them of every
obstruction in its wake. Notable
among the stores that kept prominent
line OF Christmas goods, were Chas.
Heuck d Son, Price & Watson, John
McGrath & Sons, Martin Drug Co.,
Novelty Store and the Racket Store,
all of which made remarkable and
satisfactory sales. The elegant show
windows of these prominent and pop
ular firms would do credit to Canal
Street in their holiday array, and with
pride the fact was noted by both cit
liens and visitors to our city. Brook
haven is live town from business
standpoint. and we dare say she leads

Frank p. Bennett, the we'll known
Amer icah scout, committed suicide at
Honolulu by shooting himself in the
head. Bennett was an Indian fighter of
national reputation, having been one
of the three survivors of the famous
company of which Buffalo Bill is best
known, and having taken prominent
part in running the Apache Geronimo
to earth. He had borrowed money
from a woman, with whom he had
much associated. She was domestic
in prominent family; and went out
one night to meet Bennett and secure
the money. She did not return until
early next morning, and died that day;
the post mortem showing that her
death was due to morphine poisoning
The day after her death, Bennett
shot himself in the woods, his body
being found three days later.
