Norfolk, Va, April 25.-General A. w.
Greedy, chief of the United States Signal
Service, passed through Norfolk yeter-
day en- route to Washington. General
Greedy has been on the coast witnessing
the experiments in wireless telegraphy
being conducted between Cape Hnry and
Roanoke Island, sixty miles distant, by
the experts in telegraphy of the United
States Weather Bureau
The results of these experiments are
said to have been eminently satisfactory
to General Greedy, who thinks that the
corps acting under Prof. Willis l.. Moore,
chief of the Weather Bureau, have de-
veloped for the Government which OBJ
tains the benefit of their discoveries
free, a system OF transmitting messages
without wire superior to the Marconi
system. General Greedy is enthusiastic
over the results achieved by Professors
Fessenden and Thessen and their as
sociates, who have been for many months
working arduously for the success they
have obtained.

GREENE COUNTY VETERANS.
Eloquent Address by Col Worthington Author
of THE Broken Sword
(soecial to News and Observer }

Especial to News and Observer
Snow Hill, N. c., April 25.-Wednesday
marked the annual reunion of the Greene
County Camp of Confederate Veterans
While but few have been able to reach
Dallas, they turned out in full to enjoy
a day of "reminiscences, speech making
and last but not least a capital dinner of
Greene county barbecue. After the
e-election of all the old Off
GERS, the orator of the day was intro
duced by Representative F. L. Carr. Col.
ID. Worthington, who is well known
throughout the State, as the author of
the Broken Sword" was the speaker
and for over an hour he held his audience
with the power of his eloquence and the
beauty of his tributes to the ''wearers
of the gray" At the conclusion of the
address a resolution YVES adopted re-
questing Col. WOrthington to furnish
copy of the same TO the State press with
the request that they publish it.
His tribute to the Southern woman
brought tears to the eyes of many. He
said in part:
"Forty-one years ago a beautiful mai
den of sixteen, wearing upon her bosom
a secession Cock9de and holding in her
extended hand a bunch of fragrant white
hyacnths, said to her mother, 4 am
going to give these flowers, with my love.
to our brave soldier boys. They are going
to war and in their loneliness they will
need the inspiration that comes from a
woman's smile. And it may be mother
and tears cleaned in her soft blue eyes
some of these boys will never come
home again. What Natalia was to Ad-
vim what Gprtrilde was IN Ru1olnh
what Helen was to Tibbie, our noble self
sacrificing women were to US God bless
the women of the South, who could al
ways see in the rift of the clouds the
star of hope, when our men were be-
wildered and lost amid the darkness of
the impenetrable night"
The speakers tributes to Lee and Jack
son stirred to the depths of their hearts
the gray haired men who had followed
these Immortal heroes through the jaws
OF death at Charlottesville, at Manassas,
at Gettysburg. and finally at "Appomat-
tox" where after four long years the
curtain dropped for the last time upon
the most awful tragedy i'll all the files
of time He said in conclusion:
"A quarter century hence the order will
pass down the lines, lights out and
these refreshing reunions will adjourn
sine die God grant that when we cross
over the river to rest in the shade OF
the trees, we may meet again where there
are no wars or rumors of wars, where
every man who wore the gray and who
followed the flag will swell the columns
at the grand review no name omitted from
the ll-call, ard no soldier missing from
the ranksP
