Gen Wilson and a Monument.
(Tarboro Southerner.)


To the Editor: About eight miles
from Tarboro, on the old James l.. Battle
farm, in a secluded spot, the private bury
ing grounds, overgrown with brlars, weeds
and covered with the lichen of neglect, :"
lie the bones of Col. Louis D. Wilson, who
over fifty years ago was one OF Edge
combes leading men, in thought and ac-
ton, and was honored by her in the
legislative halls longer than any represen-
tative she ever had. He was elected a
member of the lower House four years and
served as Senator for fourteen years,
making eighteen years in the public SER
vice of his county. He resigned his Sena-
torship in 1916, and accepted Colonies
commission from the President of the
United States to serve IN the Mexican
war. He was taken with a fatal disease
soon after his arrival in Mexico and died;
his remains were brought back here
The grave is in dilapidated condition.
The stones that mark his resting place
are down and with few more years OF
neglect it will be difficult to tell the exact
Ispot of his grave Col. Wilson left in
mis- will nearly all of his estate to Edge
combe county. amounting at the time to
,
lars. for the benefit of the poor and in
digent, who were 50 unfortunate as to
have to accept the charity of the county
aims house.
Isn't it e duty, ought it not to be the
pleasure Of the county aside from Col.
Wilson's eminent and faithful public ser
vices. as a matter of gratitude to invoke
our county pride, that his last resting
place should be cared for by the county?
suggest that the county commissioners
get the consent of his nearest OF kin and
have his remains removed to Tarboro,
place them under the monument that Is
erected to his memory III the court house

his remains, to the town common and
let them rest there-a place familiar to
him in his early boyhood. This monu

of him Comptroller of the Currency Ridge
ley ordered the appointment the other
day Just as he was about to leave the city
TO attend the Bankers convention at San
Francisco, but left no information or data
regarding the appointee. Hence all that
IS known even in the Comptroller's office
is that Bush is from somewhere - the
West and is expected here about the lasr
of the month for his instructions.
Though appointed to the vacancy
caused by Henrys resignation, Bush will
not necessarily be assigned to work II
the North and South Carolina district.
In fact, it is stated at the Comptroller s
office that such assignment is very unlike
ly. Examiner Charles w. Robinson, of
the Virginia district, is now examining
banks in the Carolina district and may
be kept here since it now has no examiner,
This failure of the managers OF the
North Carolina Republican pie-counter to
retain so good a job for one Of the faith
full of that State is likely to cause COM
ment and criticism. for even here it is
being remarked that had Pritchard been
in active charge of the patronage as for
merly, such a thing as going to the far
West for a man to fill vacancy in a
North Carolina Federal office could never
have happened. State Chairman Rollins
hurried here about a week after the APP
pointment had been made, but Of course
that was locking the door after the horse
was gone and nothing could be done,
though Rollins went away declaring that
he would come back when the Comptroller
returned and register mighty kick.

only instance of man achieving greatness
that possessed in a marked degree high

safe to say, that if the people had fully
understood his character in this respect,

Presidency on this account, and Zeb.
Vance, of North Carolina, was greatly
handicapped by it, Proctor Knott's Duluth
speech put an end to him as a statesman,
and S. S. Cox's wit kept him from rising
higher than a seat in the House of Rep

NEGRO DIALECT.
Mr.. o. W. Blackuall Writes interestingly to
the Times.Dispatch
editor of The Times -Dispatch.)

editor of The Times -Dspatch.)
Sir:-That the Times Dispatch is right
in its assertion. that there is such thing
as. a. fairly uniform negro dialect at
the South viii, am sure be borne out
by the most observant people to the
manner born AS is admitted, there are
exceptions to the general prevalence of
this dialect, the most noticeable one be-
ing in the Ogeechee region of Georgia.
l am reliably informed that the negroes
of that region, who are undoubtedly late
importations from Africa, speak a lingo
compounded of native African and Eng
lish that is almost wholly uninteligiblc
to people accustomed to the negro dialect
But this and other instances are only the
exceptions. There is undoubtedly a sur
prlsing uniformity in the general negro
dialect of the South. 1t seems to be
much more uniform than the dialect of
the llllterate whites. And for this there
is good reason. The diverse white dia
let's of the South are doubtless survivals
under more or less modified forms of the
diverse dialects of England
There are two reasons why there should
be substantial uniformity in the negro
dialect In the first place, it mainly had
its birth in Virginia and North Carolina,
from whence negroes were carried il
ante bellum days to all parts of TIE
South and Southwest; also to Tennessee,
Kentucky and some parts of the West.
Another, and though doubtless far lesc
potent, cause in producing the uniform
negro dialect was that If was the re,
suit of an attempt of the slaves to imi-
