Maxton. n. G, August Tn addition
to the complete report sen by tele-

reunion Of Veterans at Maxton was SO
remarkable an assemblage in many
features as to merit another paragraph.
A great art centre, with every appli-
ance for decoration and Establishment,
could not have built up anything more
beautiful and tasteful thar the central
float, the triumphal car of the queen
sponsor and her maids of honor. The
blending Of colers and the statelines
Of the prancing six horse team were
worthy Of their task, and certainly no
lCVerlier group of women could be
found in North Carolina, whole names
Tho Messenger has already given.
Their costumes were very elegant; the
sponsor, Miss Annie l.. McRae, a grace
full. stylish brunette, wore white organ
die trimmed in rare lace and white rib
bons over silk, and white picture hat.
The fair maids We're gowned in white

white picture hats and carried white
parasols. No one was more worthy Of
the honor of presenting the regaliaS to
these lovely girls than Thomas Nc
Bryde, known during the war as the
"bravest of the brave" Chief Marshal
McLaurin was a fine figure of the
knightly Southern soldier in his dress
of Confederate uniform.
Hon. o. H. Dockery, of Richmond, a
few days ago was hurt by the fall of
his horse, and vas unable to be present.
Captain NOrment, of LumbertOn, had
a seat on the stand, and the old SOL
dierS longed to hear from him, but he
is in very feeble health, and went on
that evening to Jackson Spring for re-
cuperation. Colonel F. w. Kerchner,
Of Wilmington, declined a seat in the
carriages from the committee, preferr-
ing to march in line with the old SOL
diers. Messages of cOn~gratulatiOn came
from different points, and greeting by
telegram from Major E. J. Hale, Of
Fayetteville, Adjutant General of
Lanes brigade in the civil war.
The most remarkable achievement at
yesterdays reunion was h generous
feeding of that great multitude. It was
a triumph of the matrOns and house
wives of all that section. A pleasant
little illustration of hospitable greet
ing was the fact that Messrs. Groom
Bros, opened their soda fountain free
all day to the old soldiers. Mr.. W. G.

MAY BE TAFT.
May be Appointed to Succeed Root

Washington. Aug. 11.-Before Secre-
tary Root sails for london to sit with
the Alaskan commission hi will place
his resignation in the hands Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in order that the presi-
dent may appoint a secretary of wal
If it is deemed necessary during Mr..
Roots absence. 1t is expected. how
ever. that the resignation will not be
acted upon until after congress meets.
The appointment of Mr.. Roots sue
cessor will depend somewhat upon the
length of time that Secretary Root will
be defend upon tn Alaskan boundary
commission.
1t has been known for some time that
Secretary Root intended to retire, but
he did not wish to leave the DEPART
ment until the general staff bill was in
operation and other matter pertaining
to the department were we'll under
way 1t is understood that the matter
of his successor has been discussed and
while nothing official can be obtained
here it is believed that the position
will be rendered TO Governor Taft.
While Secretary Root is in London
he will emain in communication with
the val department and matters per-
tanning to the general staff and other
important affairs will be referred to
him. If the sittings or the Alaskan
commission are extended beyond De-
cember 1st it is likely thai the secre-
tary's resignation will be accepted and
his successor appointed at that time.
and if the situation in the wal depart
ment is such hat a secretary is need
ed to take charge of affairs one will
be appointed earlier.
Secretary Roots desire to leave pub
lie life is based largely on personal
grounds. His family does not like the
life in Washington and the secretary
desires also t" return TO his law prac-
tice in New York. The secretary feels
that he has accomplished the work
hat he was calle1 upon to do when
he became secretary of war.
