SHOULD GO TO NASHVILLE.

Raleigh enjoys the honor of having
the only drum corps in the United
States composed exclusively of Con-
federate veterans. 1t has been sug-
gested that it should go to the Confed-
crate Veteran Reunion at Nashville
and to the convention of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy at st. Louis.
The suggestion is one which should
meet unanimous approval and en-
dorsement The funds of the l.. OBJ.
Branch Camp are not sufficient to de-
fray the expenses. and generous citi-
zens of Raleigh will no doubt be glad
to contribute to the expense. 1t Will

erings and will show that Raleigh is

strength. Falling to secure either OF
the necessary conditions to defeat Tag
CART, the opposition acquiesced, and the
proceedings of the committee were
brief and harmonious.
The contest for the other officers
created only a slight diversion and diff
ferences regarding them, which were
somewhat spirited for u few days past,
We're easily adjusted. .
The ticket elected was eas follows;
Thomas Taggart of Indiana, chairman
Urey Woodson of Kentucky, secretary.
Edward Seton of Washington, assist
ant secretary; John ]. Martin of Mis-
souri,, sergeant ut arms; Samuel Donel
son OF Tennessee, assistant sergeant al
arms.
The most important action of thu
committee, aside from the selection OF
d chairman, was that of arranging fol
a committee, or committees, to manage
the campaign. A proposition submitted
by William II. Sheehan, slightly modi
fed upon the suggestion of Senator
Bailey, was adopted. AS agreed to i
is rs follows:
THAT the chair be authorized to ap
point, not to exceed two, vice chairmel
as his Judgment may determine; thai
the chair be authorized to appoint al
executive committee of not less thai
five nor more than seven members"
Under this resolution Chairman Tag
CART will select campaign managers. !
Is taken for granted that he will be
the chairman of the executive commit
tee, as that custom is always followed
Among those mentioned We're William

NEW YORK, July 2T.-Thomas Tag
Edat of Indiana has been elected chair
ihss Of the Democratic national com
mittee. and expectations were fulfilled.
Endorsed by nearly every member Of
the committee the day after the CON
y~entlon adjourned at st. Louis, it has
been known ever since that only the
decree of Judge Parker in favor of
some other man, or the consent of Sen
ator German to accept the place, could
prevent the selection of Mr.. Taggart.
Neither of these contingencies arose.
and the Indiana man was unanimously
chosen to u place for which he long
has had aspirations.
Although the vote was unonimots, it
was n until after it was actually in
progress that opposition to Mr.. Tag
CARTS selection was withdrawn. Be
ginning with the return Of Senator
German, former Senator Hill, former
Senator Jones and other Democratic
leaders last evening and lasting up
to the moment when the committee
was called to order, the strongest pos
sible effort was made to bring Senator
German into the field or to arrange a
combination that would place some
one besides Taggart at the head of
the committee. Almost continuous
conferences were held, intimations of
great financial advantages to the party
We're made, and MANY expedients
were suggested, even to delaying the
election until after the committees Wis

Christmas celebration. With them the
Feast of the Nativity was the extreme
of solemnity, and they were as much
opposed to Christmas trees and lights,
music and laughter, as were the Purl'
tans
The first authentic account of the
Christmas tree is not recorded until the
sixteenth century. Itappears in Ger,
man manuscript, and, as the Germans
responded least to Latin influences OF
all the nations which fell heir to the
Roman empires lands. to them rather
than to the Romans must be ascribed
the honor of introducing it. 1t was
the marriage of Queen Victoria to
German prince which brought the mod
ern Christmas tree to England, and
German immigrant started the custom
in America. The first Christmas tree,
In France was lighted in the Tuileries
in 1910 by. the Duchess Helena. n,
To view the great heaps Of Christi
mas trees which line the market streets
of our big cities just before the holi-
days one would fancy that scarcely a
tree could be left standing of the muir
muring hemlocks which constituted
Longfellows forest primeval. Every
hard timber state In the Union is call
ed upon by Santa Claus for its tribute
of redolent balsam that he may have
plenty of places on which to hang his
presents.
There is only one true Christmas tree
the balsam fir. The hemlock proper
has branches too dropping and flexible
to hold a great weight of Christmas
gifts, and the spruce, while otherwise
suitable, lacks the spicy odor of the
balsam. This is fortunate, for the tree
most priced for Christmas purposes is
utterly despised by the lumbermen.
Before the Christmas tree industry be-
gan the fir lands of Maine were actual
ly exempted from taxation as worth
less. Now they are worth from $40 to
$15 an acre.
The Christmas tree cutters begin
work early, usually about the middle
Of October. While some of the men are
cutting others follow them and drag
the trees to the nearest open space
where they are punched and tied so
that they will not come apart in ship
ping. At the nearest depot they are
loaded on cars, $500 trees to the car.
The men receive $1.5O a day and
board. 1t takes seven men working
five weeks to get out three carloads
The Christmas tree output depends q
good deal on the weather. With an
open fall, when the trees are easy to
get at, the crop will be much larger
than when the snow falls early and
heavily. If the snow melts and then
freezes on the branches it makes them
brittle and they break In transit
