Raleigh Was Glad to Welcome the Modest Col. Lane, Only
Surviving Colonel of the Goth N. c. Regiment.

North Carolinians would alone have
been sufficient to have rendered it for
ever famous. 1t would have been suf-
fcient glory to be distinguished in his
tory as 'Zeb Vance" Regiment, and
as having given North Carolina her
great War Governor.
THE second Colonel Of the Goth regi-
ment was Harry X. ~Burgwyn. Jr., Of
whom It may be truly said that he had
no superior Of his age CT rank in the
Confederate army. To him chiefly, and
above all others, was due the discipline
and military training of the regiment.
The third and last Colonel Of the Goth
regiment was John r. Lane, of Chat
ham county, who still lives as one Of
the rev. survivors of that gallant band.
Starting as a corporal he became the
Colonel of the most famous regiment in
the Confederate army, and his promotion
was due entirely to his own personal
merit and worth. Without the advantage

ton, without any previous military train

truly be said of him) that he was a
worthy successor of ZebulCn B.. Vance and
Harry K. Burgwyn,
Colonel Lane may we'll be called 9

Raleigh has had a distinguished WISH
tor during the past week in the person
of Colonel join r. Lane, of Chatham
county.
Colonel John r. Lanes regiment, the
26th N. c.. is easily the most famous
regiment in the annals CT time. IhlS
hero Of the Civil War was a farmer boy,
born and reared in the county of Chatham.
He volunteered and was made corporal
in his company, the Goth ~. G. regiment, Of
which the immortal Vance was the first
colonel.
When Vance was elected Governor Col.
Harry Burgwyn succeeded him. and ~ the
meantime Corporal Lane had steadily
risen by his merit TO be Lieutenant-Col-
onel of the regiment.
At Gettysburg. Colonel Burgwyn was
killed. and Colonel Lane was dangerously
wounded. Fortunately however his wound
did not prove fatal. and during the re-
mainder of the war he was the worth :
Colonel of the regiment that had made an
immortal record. and which to the very
end won constant applause for its gal
lantry.
Al the end Of the war, this hero. as
brave as the b~rayest, repaired TO his
farm III Chatham county, where be has
since lived, with Il modesty only sur
passed by his splendid courage or the bat
tie field.
AS he made a good soldier so he has
made an excellent citizen. No man is
mere esteemed in his community than
Colonel Lane.
The people Of Raleigh were particularly
delighted To have him present with us
when the subject Of our memorial ad-
dress was the heroism of the immortal
regiment Of whose valor Colonel Lane is
the exponent. Around him clustered the
memory Of immortal deeds. The glory
Of war. tho perils of the battle field, the
courage that ennobles the highest man

awakened by the presence OF this hero
whose name viii live forever as the
Colonel CT the immortal 26th regiment.
Our people highly appreciated the honor
of his attendance, ana We'd with each 9th

seeing him.
Major Henry \. London, in his address
here on Memorial bay, after reviewing
the magnificent achievements and splen-

in relation to the part taken by Petit

shown by facts wich no one in the fight
will deny, and which a newspaper CORE
spondent, a mile off, could not possibly
know.
In the first place. the correspondent
states that Pettigrew'S division was in

take, ana every one knows it but the
writer. And here let me state, that the

as initiated at Malvern Hill and numer-

MOTHERLY ADVICE.
How to Wash the Baby.

AS rule babies should be washed by
hand. Machine-washed babies do not
mature so rapidly, and being rubbed on
a dashboard is likely 10 wear holes in
the baby.
The baby should be put to soak over
night in luke-wsrm water in which has
been dissolved handful Of pearline.
This takes the place Of the old fashioned
way Of leaving him in wash-boiler on
the stove for three or four hours. and
caves much labor.
In the morning, after rinsing in three
waters, add little ball blue to the last
and pass the baby quickly through it.
Too much bluiog is apt to give the
baby faded look.
We do not think that babies should
be put through the wringer too soon
after washing. Better results are OBJ
tanned by hanging them OF the line at
once. if it be a sunny day. Otherwise
they may be hung up before the kitchen
fire. and, when thoroughly dry. starched
and ironed at your convenience.
