OF THE REUNION

anon the dull thrump, thrump of
wooden leg or the empty sleeve hanging
uselessly down told the tale of duty we'll
done on the battle field. We wept and
cheered and hurrahed until hoarse, for the
rank and file of the Confederates and
felt in our hearts it was good to be there.
Not the least noticeable in the process
sion were the faithful old negro soldiers
who stood Loyalty by their masters for four
years. and who proudly fell in line and
received their share of the glories Of
the march. One old negro-true to his
instincts-carried a captive chicken sus-
pended from a stick across his back The

erous badges and were the recipients OF
special attention from the veterans

grasp our hands and dipping the battered
banners TO be caressed by us, and
Justify giving the Rebel Yell as
they passed Us by. Who would not deem
it privilege to be instrumental in keep
ing before the world the deeds of such an
army? But most touching Of all was
the parting of the old veterans who, fear
ing they would never meet again tear
fully babe each other a sad farewell. Es-
pecially pathetic was the scene when they
crowded around their old commander as
with tears in their eyes and a feryent

DR.. AVIRETT'S "OLD PLANTATION"

of the South and consequent unjust as
he is always loyal and true, still naught
has has been set down in malice. He
has written but the words of truth and
soberness; and in tracing, though largely
indirectly and incidentally to their ulti
mate sources. factors of that unique
culture which characterized the Southern
gentleman of the old school to which this
American republic has been and is so
largely indebted, he has only ''hewn to
the line" and been loyal to the truth
and to his much-loved Southland. Of
the many admirable features of this most
entertaining and timely work one is es-
pecially noteworthy: the faithful render
ing of the negro dialect as known on the
Southern plantation. The humor and
oftentimes pathos of the negro character
as illustrated in their conversation
songs and habits by most writer's are
merely travestied and exaggerated by
excess or defect. They are false and
misleading. Nothing short of a lifelong
residence in the South and daily contact
with the negro in various relations such
as fell to the lot of Joel Chandler Harris
or James Battle Avirett could have pro-
duced the inimitably humorous dialect of
Uncle pemus or The Old Plantation.
Altogether Mr.. Avirett mas done a good
work. and done it we'll In this book
making age he has given to the public
work of permanent value; one that
should be especially in the hands OF the
rising generation who can have no per-
sonaI knowledge of the delight and
charms of the old plantation life. which
is fast becoming traditional memory
only-which but for such books is likely
soon to be permanently effaced. We
have good cause to be grateful for this
faithful record of the good old days that
are gone forever: and much that is best
in the world is thereby greatly the
loser.

To the Editor: The reunion of the Con-
federate Veteran Association and of the
Confederate Southern Memorial Associa-
ton, at Memphis, is now thing of the
past but its memories will linger in the
minds of those who were so fortunate as
to be present, as long as time shall last.
ii was said to be the largest reunion of
these veterans of the South ever assem-
bIed, twenty-five thousand having repor-
ted for duty.
One event of this grand reunion is suf-
fcient to stamp its impress if no other
existed. The parade on Thursday of the
Confederate veterans, sponsors and maids
of honor was the browning glory of the
occasion. 1t was magnificent spectacle
in every detail, and one never to be for
gotten. Who is it that stood in that vast
throng and saw the remnant of the grand
est army that ever went into battle file
past, can never forget the sight?
In it were men still full of life and
vigor, although, wearing coronets Of ages
boar frost men who made history and
endowed it with immortal life, men whose
names are indissolubly linked with the
great leaders of thirty odd years ago, and
who brought back the past with it's stirr-
ing incidents, its glories and its gloom,
its triumph and defeats. No less con-
spicuous were the rank and file who
marched erect and proudly to the rattle
of the drum, and the voice Of the shrill
throated bugle or to the measured music
of the band as it gave forth the inspir-
ing strains of Dixie" They marched
with the soldierly tread of old and the
fire of other days that attracted the gaze
of an admiring world still burned brightly,
and for the nonce all men, no matter
what position in life they occupied were
comrades and equals, so long as they wore
the gray" Looking upon them as they
filed past displaying so much force, so
much manhood and patriotism, it seemed
impossible to realize that it was the rem
nant of that magnificent army that thir-
ty-siX years ago literally "wore itself out
fighting 1t was the writer's great privi-
lege to be one of that vast throng to
stand in line while our army in gray"
marched proudly by, and never can we for
get that sight, for two hours and half
we stood while this magnificent parade
of three miles in length passed in review.
First in the procession came the seven
survivors of the Southern Mothers So
ciety." These good and noble ladies were
the recipients of tender tokens of admit
ration and esteem from the Confederate
soldiers, who crowded about their car
riages. The appearance in the parade
of the Southern Mothers who wept as
they worked years ago was a marked
feature. These true and loyal women
knew the terrors of war its sufferings
and tortures and their ministrations to
the Confederate sick and wounded in the
city of Memphis during the four years Of
the greatest fratricidal strife the world
ever knew viii bless their memory for
ever. To see one entire company wearing

Gray'-od and faded-the same worn on
hundred battle fields. was enough TO
thrill the stoutest heart, while ever and

son Nicely Co., New York, Chicago Lon
don. Cloth, $1.5O.
This is a en-picture, faithfully drawn
and beautifully done of life on the Old

In reading it--as every one will do to
the end who once takes it up and with
absorbed interest and pleasure-two
other notable books by Southern authors
of comparatively recent date will ma
turally suggest themselves. Mrs. Susan

in common except that they are written
on the same general subject and are
each faithful portrayals and vindications
Of social conditions that have been greatl-
ly misunderstood and sometimes grossly
misrenresented 1t is no small praise Of
the Rev. MIR. Avirett's Old Plantation to
say that it is worthy of a place by the
side of its two predecessors largely in the
same field. The author has proven his
eminent fitness for his self-imposed la
Dor of love.

His picture is true to the life because
he writes, not from hearsay, but from
the long personal experience and obser-
walton of an old man, amid the scenes
that he so picturesquely and charmingly
deaicts.

The most important decision rendered
by the Supreme Court since the decision
that resulted in putting the property OF
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad on
June 7th. in the case of Commissioners
VS.. Steamship Company from Beaufort
county 1t holds that we can tax a pro
rata part of the capital stock of all COM
panies doing business in several States,
including North Carolina, not restricted
to the tangible property in this State
but measured by the proportion of the
business done in North Carolina. The
case cites the decision of the Supreme
a tax on $1,75O,O 900 of capital of Express
Company in Kentucky, although the COM
pany had only $4,000 of tangible property
(horses, drays, etc. in that State. The
court was unanimous, Judge Clark writ
ing the opinion of the court. Justice
Douglass filed an elaborate concurrlng
ocinion.
The decision is of such great Importance
that we give the opinion of the court in
full as follows:
Commissioner of Beaufort County VS..
Old Dominion Steamship Company.
Opinion of Supreme Court by Judge
Clark.
The defendant having "domesticated
under the Craig law, the question mere
presented is how much of its capital
stock should be taxed in this State.
Upon the facts agreed, the capital stock
of 81 $50 900 is all listed for taxation IN
Delaware. The defendant does business
IN several States, and the value of its
tangible property in this State, steam
ers, warehouses, ETC., is 1000, all OF
which is listed for taxation. 1t has 70
separate capital stock as domesticated
corporation, it's business and property
here being part of the general corporation,
chartered and doing business in several
States.
In Commissioners VS.. Tobacco Com
pany 1f6 n. c.. AL it is held that 'capi-
tai stock is distinct subject of taxa
ton from "shares" Of capital stock, the
former belonging to the corporation and
the latter to the individual stockholders.
1t was held, following the uniform decis-
ion here and elsewhere which are cited,
that it was within the legislative power,
in respect to corporations, to levy any
two or more of the following taxes SIM
ultaneously: % One on the franchise
(including dividends); (2) On the capital
stock; go On the tangible property OF
the corporation; and (D On the shares
of the capital stock in the hands OF
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on the last
two being imperative under the Consti-
tuition.
Under section 80, chapter 10, laws of
1899, the assessed value of the real and
personal property of the corporation is
directed to be deducted from the aggre-
gate value of the shares of stock and the
difference, if any, to be listed for taxa
ton, the object being evident to avoid
double taxation Though the Legislature
could authorize it, Commissioners VS.,
Tobacco Company, supra). The defend
ant having no separate capital stock as
a North Carolina corporation contends
that it cannot be taxed here because it is

that it is a domestic corporation, Deb

The. reasonableness of that decision is
now a subject of public discussion
First as we have mentioned. there are
limitations in the Constitution on the
power of the United States, and on the
power of Congress- And it has always
been held that neither Congress nor the
United States can lawfully do what the
Constitution prohibits If there is a de-
feet of power, the act can not be lawfully
done.

GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN WORK.
A~narchfsts of Chicago Crawl Out of
Their Holes and Cheer for the
Assassin CzoIEOsz.

Chicago, Dec. 7-President McKin-
ley's assassin was cheered publicly in
Chicago Thursday night. A challenge
from the platform that anarchists
dared not condone the crime at Buff
falo was met with a vigorous you're
a liar"
Abraham Isaak, the recognized
leader of the "reds" in this city, and
editor of free Society, declared open
ly he could not condemn the assas-
sins act. He said that as to personal
merit he took a second place to Czol-
gosZ.
The confession of Isaak a ac-
companied by a scene of intense ex-
element. It was the climax of the
debate on Socialism or Anarchy
and came when the audience of over
one thousand had been aroused
thoroughly by wild ~oratorical de-
nunciations.
"Hurrah for Czolgosz!" shouted G
man in the gallery, swinging his hat
above his head.
Kisses, jeers, yells of approval ano
cat calls came from all parts of the
house. The crowd rose to its feet ano
a riot was only averted by the
prompt action of the chairman.
