SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI.
Held Meeting in Raleigh Yesterday. Election
Of Officers, Other Business
IETY OF CINCINNATI

2-SOCIETY OF CINCINNATI
The North Carolina Society Of the
Cincinnati met in Raleigh yesterday
July 4th, being the day set for it's an
nual meeting. AS the weather is un-
usually oppressive at this season of the
year. an amendment was passed provid-
ing that hereafter meetings shall be held
on February 22nd, the birthday of Wash
ington, who was the society's first presi-
dent. The meeting yesterday was not
largely attended, owing to the fact that
many members had recently been to the
Triennial Convention of the General So
ciety at Hartford, Conn, and could not
spare more time from their business
pursuits. Quite number of new mem
bers were elected yesterday, and the
society has lost by death some of its
most prominent members since the last
meeting Among the latter were Judge
Robert Falligant, CT Savannah: W. u.
Grant of Atlanta; Hon. Rufus K. Polk,
member of Congress from Pennsylva-
mia. and Prof. William Law Murfree. of
the University of Colorado. All of these
gentlemen were of North Carolina
descent. The president of the General
Society. Hon. William Wayne, of Penn
sylvania, has also recently died. He was
the descendant and successor OF General
Anthony Wayne. and is succeeded by
Hon. Winslow Warren, of Massachu-
sets, who holds his membership in the
society by descent from DR.. Joseph War
rem, killed at the battle of Bunker Hill.
For several years past the society has
had a committee, consisting of MessTs.
Wilson G. Lamb, Bennehan Cameron and
others. who have often been in Wash
ington in the interest of the Nash and
Davidson monuments. These gentlemen
have delivered addresses before sub
committees of Congress on more than
one occasion, and have enlisted the in
fiuence Of many public men both in and
out of Congress in the subject. The bill
has often passed the Senate. but not
until few days ago could it be Il CD
through the House This measure chiefly
owes it's success to Representative w.
W. Kitchin and it is believed that with
the aid of our two Senators it can be
gotten through the upper house. A
resolution was yesterday passed by the
Cincinnati thanking the North Carolina
representatives in Congress for their
patrioticN labors in this matter. Tho
next meeting of the Cincinnati will
probably be held in Charlotte on the
22nd of February, 1908.
