facilities for gathering materials, as
he was on board the Brooklyn during
the fight with the Spanish feet and

of Santiago without fear or favor"
The book is said to have the unquali-

was present when Mr. Graham gave
an account OF the battle to State Off

This book is the first and only COM

Efforts Of Sentimental and Hysterical
People 10 Save Burglars Necks.
StateSville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
North Carolina is one of three or
four States in which burglary is
capital offense. About year ago
four men, two white and two colored,
who subsequently proved to be des
psratc criminals, entered the post
Office at Emma, Buncombe county,
for the purpose of robbery. They
held up the assistant postmaster, Mr..
5. H. Alexander, and when be at
tempted to resist them they shot
him, inficting wound which cams
near proving fatal, and which it was
thought for a long time would prove
fatal. The robbers were arrested and
convicted of burglary in the first de-
gree. Their case was appealed, the
Supreme Court affirmed the decision
of the lower court and Gov. Avcock
has fixed February Goth as the date
! for their execution.
As is usual in such cases, all sorts
of appeals are being made to the
Governor by sentimental and hysteri
cal people to commute the sentences

capital pen;shment and Mr.. j, j.
Britt, formerly of Statesville, are
writing in the Asheville papers in op-
position to the infliction of the death
penalty in this case. and great stress
is laid on the fact that 10 murder
was committed For this reason. it
is urged, the burglars should not be
hung. Mr.. Alexander, whom they
tried to kill, has been urged by
numerous people TO ask the Governor
to commute the sentences, which he
has very sens:bly refused to do. In
newspaper interview he says:

pared and resolved, as their subse-
quent actions proved, to Kill me in

HISTORY CORRECTED.
LincOk, Said Not TO Have Offered TO
Pay for Slaves.
Philadelphia Record.

John Goode. the only Virginian hv-
ing who was a member of the Con-
federate Congress, was one OF the
speakers AT the annual meeting of Lee
Camp, held at Richmond. Va. on
January 10th.
Mr.. GoOde took occasion to correct
what he cOnceives to be two errors in
recent contributions to the history Of
the Civil War. He stated that he had
it from the lips Of the Confederate e
commissioners who went to Hampton
Roads to confer with President Lin
coin that the only thing Lincoln
would agree to was that the Confe,i-
crates should go home and take of
their uniforms" He denied. in en-
phatic terms, that Lincoln had offer
ed to pay for, the liberation of the
slaves.
Mr.. GO0de said he wanted also to
correct an error in & recent contribu-
tion TO war history by Charles Francis
Adams. in which he makes it appear
that General Lee favored surrender
ing his army before it reached Ap-
pomattox, and that President Davis
was responsible for Lees plans not
being carried out. Mr.. Goode said he
was sent for by President Davis and
General Lee for conference. Gen
erai Lee told of the condition Of his
army and asked If the Virginia people
would stand another draft upon them
for forage and provisions. Mr.. Goode
conferred with his associates. and the
result was. he informed General Lee.
that the last crust OF bread would be
divided with the army. General Lee
said not a word about surrendering.
This information. given by Mr.
Goode, was regarded as so important
tnat the Camp invited him to write it
out over his signature for pub!ica-
tion.

HIS SADDLE HORSES HERE.
The President Takes a Look at Blein-
stein and RenoWu

President Roosevelt's two saddle horses,
Bleinstein and Renown, have been brought
back from Oyster Bay. AS the President
hasn't been able to take a horseback ride
and wanted to see the horses he had them
taken up to the temporary White House
from the executive mansion stables. The
cavalryman of the regular army who is de-
tailed to look after these horses took them
from the stables. The President looked over
them, patted them on their faces and flanks
and then fed each one three Jumps of su-
gar. Bleinstein and Renown appeared to
greatly enjoy this treat from their master
and devoured the sugar most contentedly.
The President misses his horseback rides
very much. 1t has been more than a month
since he had this pleasure. Bleinstein, a
bay. is his favorite horse. The animal is
a high jumper. Renown is black horse
and fine, saddle animal. Mrs. Roosevelt's s
favorite horse. Yganka, has not been
brought back to Washington from Oyster
Bay.

It is $40 U. s. Note-Distinguishing
Marks

Chief Wilkie of the secret service has

cular regarding the note has been sent out:
Series of 1901; check letter C; plate num-
Der 81; ]. w. Lyons. register of the treas
ury; Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of the

This counterfeit is photographic produc-
ton on two pieces Of paper between which
silk threads have been distributed. At first
glance the note is deceptive, but 1t will not
bear examination. The portraits of Clarke
and Lewis and picture Of the buffalo are
blurred and scratchy. All the lathe work
Is very bad.

closely approximates the genuine, but the
treasury number is much darker and the
figures larger than the genuine.
1.-The green Ink used on the back of the
note Is several shades too dark.
