THE LAST OPPORTUNITY.
Sheriff Page Thinks General Assembly Has
Final Opportunity to Express Loyalty to
Memory of Lost Cause.

TO the Democratic Members of the
General Assembly of North Carolina:
The final act in the friendly but great
contest for United States Senator, which
you have for some time engaged in, is
approaching.
From all over the State there has
come up an irresistible demand that, as
last tribute TO the undying glory of the
Confederate soldier, this great honor
shall go to one of that fast disappearing
number who wore the gray. North Caro-
lina, whose soldiers won more everlaSt-
ing glory than those of any other South
ern State, has been apparently quickest
to forget that renown which the world is
glad to honor
OF our twelve members in the National
Congress not one is a Confederate SOL
der Of no other Southern State can
this be said. OF the 125,000 heroes whom
the old State sent to hurl back the
invaders of Southern soil. but few sur
vive. With a heart-tO-heart unanimity
these desire to sec once more one Of their
comrades in the upper house of our Ma
tional Legislature. Shall you grant this
last wish of the thinning line of gray?"
The magnanimoGs and patriotic act of
General Julian S. Carr in withdrawing
from the contest has made the issue be-
fore you clear cut and undeniable. Will
you not embrace the final opportunity of
your lives and lay this laurel upon the
worthy brow of that grand old Confed-
crate soldier and splendid product of
North Carolina soil, Cyrus b. Watson?
No soldier prophet, priest or king has
ever worn moro worthily than he will
wear, the honor of a grateful and loving
people.
For the sake of the Unparalleled de-
votion of the Southern people, for the
! sake of their undying renown, in the
name of their four years of terrible suf-
fering, and as the last opportunity we
shall ever have to thus testify to them,
let us nominate their comrade and Ianrc-
sentative.

four sub committees.

SHELL SHR|EkS OVER
LA V|G|S.
German Commodore Says
Unauthorized Persons
Were in Fort.
(By the Associated Press.)

Puerto Cabello, Jan. 15.-The German
cruiser Vineta at sunset last night, fired
shell at LaVigis, the fort browning
the hills behind this port. The she'll,
which was fired because men were be-
lieved to be in the fort, exploded with
out causing damage.
The people of Puerto Cabello were at
a loss last night to understand the action
of the German cruiser. Early this morn
ing, however Commodore Schederer, sent
the following communication to the Vene-
zuelan authorities through William II.
Volkmar, acting American consul here:
Referring to my letter of the 9th inst,
l have to inform you that l fired a she'll
yesterday at Fort LaVigis because,
against my explicit prohibition, the
presence has been observed there of un-
authorized persons. Judging from reports
these persons were soldiers"
The statement of the German COmmo-
dore that were unauthorized persons in
dcre that there We're unauthorized per-
sons iii the fort is denied by the authori-
ties here.

Watson for Senator.

TO the Editor:-There is no need to
compare the candidates for the Senator
ship in respect to ability and fitness for
the position for which their friends SO
earnestly support them. It is agreed
on all hands that any of the gentlemen
before the caucus would make a Senator
of whom the whole State may we'll be
proud This being the case, the question
Of former service is properly and ligiti-
mately up for consideration. Let us
consider II.
In 1896 the Democratic party was
merely a remniscence. Defeated in
1894 the ranks were disorganized, its
leaders discouraged. In this juncturc
the party was seeking a standard bearer.
After full consultation Mr.. Watson was
asked to lead the forlorn hope of the
Democracy. There was no suggestion
that there was a hope that he could win.
But to preserve the integrity of the
party it was necessary that some one
should run. Watson. other men had
done. at first declined to accept the task.
Then the request that he run was put
squarely on the ground that the Demo-
cratic party needed his services. His re-
ply deserves to be perpetuated as an eX-
ample to every man who loves his coun-
try He replied: Gentlemen, | don't
want to run: 1 can't afford to run, but
since you put the request on that ground
will make the run"
He did make the run with the vigor
and ability with which he does every
thing to which he puts his hand.
Now the Democratic party has an OPP
portunty to mark it's recognition of his
services. Can it afford to neglect the
opportunity.
The time may come when the Demo-
cratic party will again need standard
bearer who will not finch from certain
defeat When that time shall come and
that man is asked TO devote himself may
he not inquire what became of Watson,

Glenn for Senator.

Especial to News and Observer
Smithfeld, N. c., Jan. 1.-THE Smith
field Herald will tomorrow say edi-
torially:
WHATS THE MATTER WITH GLENN
THE Hon. R. B. Glenn, of Forsyth,
may deem il inconsistent with his stand
ard of honor to enter the Senatorial
contest at this time, but his friends
throughout the State are thinking that
his noble act of self-denial has failed
of it's purpose in the fact that his fell
low countryman, with like aspirations,
has utterly failed to secure the coveted
honor
when Mr. Glenn sacrificed his great
est ambition in retiring from the race in
favor Of his friend and senior, he added
materially to the great and enyiable
reputation for noble manhood that he all
ready possessed.
I'm view of tho fact that the gentle
men, in whose favor he withdrew. has
shown his utter inability to secure the
necessary votes, and also since the other
candidates are likewise afflicted, it is to
be regretted that some candidate does
not enter the race who could secure the
necessary strength and break up at once
the suspense and the deadlock
eve trust that Mr.. Glenn may be pre-
vailed upon to abandon his position and
allow his name to be presented. His
friends demand it. Neither the other
candidates nor their friends could com
plain Of breach of good faith. The
honor is seeking the man and it seems
that that man is Glenn.
N hn he
popular choice of North Carolina. We
say this not in disparagement of either
Of the avowed contestants but rather in
their honor that they should be cata-
logued in the class with Mr.. Glenn. He
is easily the equal of any, surpassed by
none
"A citizen of character, lawyer of
ability, speaker of force and persua-
siveness, well informed, energetic mag
netic and sympathetic, he would make an
ideal Senator, one upon whom the man
tie of Vance would worthily rest.
"He has equal claims with any man TO
consideration at the hands of the General
Assembly. His devotion to the party, ms
arduous service, his Titanic battles, COM
prise most interesting chapter in the
history of our State.
From all sections of the State comes
the demand for Glenn. Let the BegIsla-
ture take heed and give us Senator

At the time We sold we held it for
others.
Let me tell you the story. We found
that Mr.. Gates and his associates had
control of the Louisville and Nashville
| Railroad. When Gates came to us we
found he had control of 3O6, 900 of the
shares"
THAT gave him CONTROL" Mr.. Morgan
added. 1.-The Northern Pacific experience
of the year before made us aware of the
danger to the Southern stock and so we
made arrangements with Gates. 1 know
the sale to the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road would not be a disturbing element
to the railroads of the South" Mr.. Nor
gan said at one time he came near re-
turning the Louisville and Nashville
stock to Gates and the others Con-
tinuing, the witness said his interest in
the whole transaction was merely as a
banker. He denied that the Southern
Railway Company had anything to do
with the purchase or sale of the Louis
vile and Nashville stock. His desire
was for the maintenance of the general
business situation in the South and he
deemed it unwise that the stock of the
Louisville and Nashville, which was for
sale, should be "at the mercy of stock
specializing firms"
"Did you recommend the Southern
Railroad to secure the Louisville and
Nashville stock?" asked Commissioner
Prouty.
''Why no, SIR Mr.. Morgan said. "They
could not hold it. They are parallel and
competing lines" Mr.. Morgan said he
did not believe that any one interest owns
as much as five per cent. of the stock
of the Southern Railway Company
Charles Steele, one of Mr.. Morgan's
partners, was the next witness. 1t was
Mr.. Steele who conducted the negotia-
tons by which the Louisville and Nash
vile stock was secured and later sold to
the Atlantic Coast Line Company.
Questioned by Mr.. Young Mr.. Steele
said there was great anxiety about the
situation early in April last and it was
feared that a corner in Louisville and
Nashville stock was planned. Mr.. Steele
learned that Mr.. Gates had control of a
large amount of the stock and sent for
him. Mr.. Steele said there was con-
ference and it was thought wise that
the road should be in conservative hands.
AS a result of this conference, an agree
ment was entered into with him and his
associates that certain amount of stock
was to be secured and held.
The following questions were then
asked:
''It was confidence in Mr.. Walters and
his associates that led you to seek them
to take charge of the Louisville and
Nashville?"
cit was. We We're interested in the
commercial situation and we wanted the
railroad situation in the South conser
vatively handled
Mr.. Steele said further that J. p.
Morgan & Co. were anxious that no in
terests inimical to the Southern Railway
should control in Louisville and Nash
vile.
What profit did ]. P Morgan & Co.
make on the transaction" Mr.. Young
asked.
cit has not been worked out yet" re-
piled Mr.. Steele, with a laugh. There
may be a loss.
There We're no other witnesses in at
tendance and the commission adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
Among those witnesses called for to-
morrow's session are August Belmont
