TWO NEW COTTON MILLS
JUST ORGANIZED, THEY WILL BE
BUILT AT ONCE.
THE OLD MILL RUNNING NIGHT AND DAY
Demand for Houses Exceeds the Supply.
Timber Sold by the Acre at Fabulous
Prices. Many Buildings Going Up.

Troy, n. c., Jan. 4.-(Special.) Troy
is now pushing forward rapidly. The
great demand for lumber and the high
price it commands is rushing this great
source of Montgomery's wealth into
market as fast as it can be handled.
Timber as it stands is being sold by
the acre at fabulous prices. Tram roads,
pentrating the forests, are being built
everywhere. Many buildings are going
up The burnt district, caused by fire
last October, has been entirely covered
by beautiful block Of stores; and these
stores are taken and being stocked Some
parties who have come to Troy to live
have had to leave their families be-
hind for want of houses. There is Il
greater demand for houses than can be
filled.
The cotton mill is running on full
time, day and night. Two new cotton
mills have just been organized and will
soon be built.
A line of trolly cars now takes the
traveller from Pinehurst to Southern

flashing of steel and the booming of
cannon. From the land of the palmetto

veins: she stood before the gaze of ma
tions while the smile of hope beamed

for sympathy from her sister countries,
but listened, alas, in vain. 1t was all

memory of her is enshrined with a love

This portrait is to be placed upon the
walls of the North Carolina Room, in the

General Bryan Grimes was a gentleman
and a soldier; he did not realize that he
was a hero he simply did his duty. When
his country called for his services upon

A GIFT OF THE CHILDREN
WASHINGTON GRAY'S CHAPTER
CHILDREN OF CONFEDERACY.
THE CONFEDERATE MUSEUM, RICHMOND
A Presentation Speech by Patriotic Young
Miss that Gives Some Facts Of Con-
federate History that viii In
terest Tarheels.

To the Editor: Ever since the meet
ing of the Daughters of the Confederacy
i'll Richmond l have been looking for a
notice in some North Carolina paper of
the chldren's work of the Washington
Grays' chapter of the Children of the
Confedcracy" of Washington, y. c., but
have thus far been disappointed. / send
you a copy of the address and verses re
cited OH the occasion of the mWeiing OF
a life size oil portrait of General Bryan
Grimes to the North Carolina room of
the Confederate Museum at Richmond on
the 10th November. The washington
Gray Chapter" was the first organized in
North Carolina, and the third in the en-
tire South. When the represent atiyes OF
this chapter appeared III Richmond TO
present the above most elegant portrait
it was the first time i'll the whole South
that the children of any chapter had APP
peared ON such an occasion representing
their own work. We hope this may be
an inspiration to other chapters. We
would lay this spIIg of laurel to the cred
it of the Old North State. Miss Lucille
Nicholson recited the address and verses
most beautifully, her elocution was fault
less, and her whole heart was aglow with
patriotic sentiments that no one knows
how to appreciate better than the old
Confederate.
Miss Nicholson was accompanied by
Miss Camnie Short and Miss Nina
Firzele, who most gracefully unveiled the
portrait. Whilst three accompanied the
picture, they left over IS little warm
beating hearts sadly behind. All wanted
to go AS TO the address and verses no
classical production was intended-noth-
ing save a few historic facts interviewer
with my own heart-throds as menoriai
to one of North Cardinals bravest Con-
federate soldiers, and to Impress these
facts indellibly upon the hearts of the
children under my care, i was proud to
place in the North Carolina room the
first life size oil portrait of a Confederate
General from our State, and especially
Of one who was born and reared near the
historic and patriotic town of Washing
ton. y c. Miss Nicholson was introduc-
ed by Dr Il. l.. Pell in his graceful style
and the portrait was received by DIR.
Hodges who pronounced an elegant eulo-
gy on General Grimes. These gentlemen
are North Carolnians and are most high
ly esteemed in Richmond, their adopted
hCme.

VIEWS OF JEFFERSON

In the Platform Says
Bryan.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 26-William Jen-

statement Saturday regarding the Dem

campaign. He said:
'"The selection of Kansas City as the
place of holding the convention is agree
able to me. l had no choice between
that city, Milwaukee and Cincinnati.
All are good cities The date, July 4,
is satisfactory, although I should have
preferred the meeting to begin on the
Sd, so the platform could have been
adopted and proclaimed oh Indepen-
dence day. The party will proclaim a
second Declaration of Independence
this year, and deem it especially ap-
propriate that this be done on the ma
tion's day of freedom If possible.
PLATFORM PREDICTIONS.
'"The Democrats will take up the Dec
laration Of Independence of 1776 and add
to it some of the admirable planks of
the platform of Abraham Lincoln and
put them into the Democratic platform,
and then defy the Republicans to attack
them. They dare not do it. Lincoln

REPLIES TO GROSVENOR.
Referring to the speech of General
Grosvenor in the house Thursday Mr..
Bryan said:
ut is true that I favored the ratifi-
cation of the Spanish war peace treaty,
but ii is also true that / said with the
ratification of the treaty here should be
a declaration of the nations purpose
to give the Filipinos freedom upon the
same terms that we promised theh Gu
bans. 1t is manifestly unfair for Mr..
Grosvenor to charge me with support
ing the treaty without also pointing out
that / favored the resolution favoring
independence for the Filipinos. The
bloodshed in thte Philippine islands Is
upon those who refused to deal with
the Filipinos on American principles.
1t is cowardly for the Republicans to
attempt to evade the responsibility. If
they favor the war of conquest they
should have the courage to avow it
and give their real reasons for It,
namely, that they desire to give the
syndicates a chance to exploit the is
land. The thing that surprises me about
Mr.. Grosvenor's charge is that he lays
the blame on the Democrats. Hereto
fore the Republicans have laid it upon
