DEEDS TO APPoMArToX PLOTS
Major Ayres Tenders Ground to State
for Battle Notwithstanding
April 9th

Col. II. A. London, of Pittsboro, who
was in Raleigh yesterday rendered to
Governor Aycock for the State a deed
which had been made to him by Ma
jor Ayres, of Washington. to three
plots of land on the battlefield at APP
pomattox court house for the erection
of suitable memorials Of the North
Carolina troops with the Confederate
army at the surrender.
Major Ayres, who was in the Union
army and present at Appomattox. is
the owner of 1900 acres of land in
Guiding the ground occupied by both
armies. He is a great admrer of the
valor of the Southern troops and is
especially interested in the record
made by North Carolina soldiers.
The deed covers three plots of land,
one fifty feet square to mark the spot
on which Cox's brigade fired the last
volley of the war. and two fifteen feet
square to mark the spots where Rob-
ert's cavalry brigade captured the last
guns, and where the skirmish line of
Cox's brigade under command of Col.
Wilson T. Jenkins, of the 14th n. G..
Regiment, fired the last shot on the
skirmiSh line.
AT a meeting of veterans held yes
terday, Il committee consisting of Col.
London, Judge Montgomery and Col j.
Bryan Grimes was appointed to draw
a bill to be presented to the Legis-
lature accepting the deeds for the
State and appropriating $1,000 to erect
the monument to mark the spot where
the last volley was fired. and also au-
thOriZing the Governor to appoint q
committee of five to serve without
compensation to supervise the erection
of the memorials.
1t is not contemplated that more
than one of the monuments be erected
by the State, the other two to be raised
by private subscription.
The dwellings will be held on
April 9Th, the 40 anniversary of the
surrender and by a coincidence on
Sunday the day of the week on which
General Lee surrendered. 1t is ex-
pected on that day to run special
trains from all parts of North Caro-
lima and make Of the event great oc-
casion. -,
The memorials to be erected will
be of North Carolina granite, prob
ably from the Mt. Airy quarries

mated as these custodians; a postage
stamp enclosed with each application
for membership will pay the eX-
penses of Keeping the roll in the
office of the Commissioners of Agricul-
ture. Let the cotton farmers and the
Commissioners of Agriculture touch
the button and the newspapers of the
South will do the rest.
Let the farmers application for en-
rollment on the club list carry with it
his pledge and his honor and let
every cotton farmer who has his own
or his neighbours interest at heart,
become an active agent for the Cot
ton Growers Twenty Per Cent Club.
An organization of this character
would take much of the frenzy out
of the trade conditions generally and
establish a normal business basis. 1t
would put the bull who attempts
market corners out of business. 1t
would send the oppressive and dis
turbing market bear into his lair for
keeps.
Let the Twenty Per Cent Club
idea Immediately abide in the minds
throughout the sunburnt South, and
let this fact become universally
known in the manner suggested and
more than half the battle will be
already won.
Some will say that you can't rely
on the farmers to do what they
promise. 1t isn't true, they said, that
they would not use trust made cot
ton bagging and they stuck 10 it and
broke up the baging trust.
The tobacco planters said that they
would reduce the Tobacco acreage
Their compliance with this agree
ment and the beneficial results are
current history.
Let the cotton planters stand pat.

Harsh Criticism of His Own Father.
Spirit Of the Valley.

Spirit of the Valley
A few days ago we came across copy
of the Stanton Spectator of the date of
Jan. 8, 1904, which contained an editorial
on the late Gen. James LoDgstreet. In
this sketch of the distinguished old Gen.
eral, who had then only been dead six
days, the editor is very severe upon him
because he had, after the war, allied him
self with the Republican party. He is
equally as severe upon Malone, Walker,
Rosser, Mosby and other Confederates,
who became Republicans, speaking Of
them as having "blotted their record" by
becoming members of the Republican
party and say wing that in changing their
political coats they did an act (which vas
regarded as ignoble, if not traitorous."
This is not the first time that Editor
Turk has used harsh and abusive language
concerning those Confederate soldiers who
joined the Republican party, and in view
of the fact that his father, Col. Rudolph
Turk, was one of those gallant Confederate
soldiers who after the war joined the Re-
publican party, we cannot refrain from
saying that we consider such language ex.
sremely unbecoming, to use the mildesi
term we can think of.
We think we can say without fear Of
successful contradiction that the reputa'
ton of Col. Rudolph Turk compares most
fsvorably with that of his son who under
takes to cast an unmerited slur upon
him.

are that the last issue presented by the

Uniform Marriage and Divorce Laws

Uniform Marriage and Divorce Laws
Philadelphia Press.
The proposition flat the national con
ventions of both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties should adopt a plank de
clarIng in favor of constitutional amend
ment authorizing Congress to provide uni
form marriage and divorce laws is one
that might well be acted on favorably
The only way to relieve the nation Of the
keen disgrace of polygamy is by such 8
course. The laws of Utah now make it 6
crime but while the Mormons are in the
majority in that State those laws will new
er be enforced. If Congress had jurisdic
ton of the subject the same law would
rule in every State, and the nation would
be purged of one of the greatest scandals
of the age.
This action should be taken regardless
of the Mormon question. The looseness oil
the laws in some of the States and Terrific
ries in regard to marriage and divorce is
about as great a reproach as polygamy.
Husbands and wives rushing from Eastern
States to South Dakota or some other
Western State and there obtaining di.
vorces without the knowledge of their life
partners is in the highest degree shameful.
The variety of laws on subject concern
ing which there should be only one law is
a national disgrace.
The only remedy lie through constitu-
tional amendment. 1t is not in any sense
a party question. If both conventions
would declare in favor of the proposed
amendment it could easily be carried
through. But without such support there
is small probability of accomplishing the
desirable end.

Judqe Parker Not Dangerous.

Indianapolis Journal.
After much hesitation and several false
starts 1t Is now evident that the conserva.
tive Democrats in this Stale will unite on
Judge Parker, of New York, as their
choice for President The imminence of
the Hearst boom makes it necessary to
unite on somebody, and Judge Parker
seems to be the most available candidate.
David 3. Hill is managing bis campaign.
Personally, Judge Parker is a cold and
austere man of judicial temperament and
devoid of personal magnetism or attrac-
@ive qualities. He is not an orator. A
remarkable showing regarding Judge
Parker's yote-getting qualities appears in
the fact that he ran behind his ticket in
fifty.one COUNTIES of the State. Altogether,
outside of Greater New York, he ran
nearly 5000 votes behind his party ticket
He owed his election to the extraordinary
combination of circumstances which oper-
sted in his favor in Greater New York.
