To the Editor: Shall Confederate sol

relegated into ''innoeuous desuetude?
Among the twelve Congressman from this
State there is not one eX-Confederate sol
der. nor is it probable that there will
ever again ho a Confederate soldier from
this State in Congress. North Carolina
is the only Southern State that enjoys %
this unenviable distinction, and yet she
boasts of having furnished more soldiers
to the Confederate army than any other
State.
This year is the best opportunity OF
electing an ex-Confederate soldier Cover

boast that our soldiers were 1.-THE first at
Bethel and the last at Appomattox and
it is eminently appropriate that the old
soldiers candidate should be one who
was literally and truly one of the first at
Eiethel and one of the last at AppomattoX.
They present as their candidate one who
volunteered in April, 1861 as a private in
Company H of the Bethel regiment and
was paroIed at Appomattox as Major of
the 44th regiment, and who served most
CALAMITY and faithfully all those four
years from Bethel to Appomattox He

the courtly Southern gentlemen OF whom
''the old South was so justly proud
And with that he is a splendid type and
representative of the progressive business
men of the new Southland and is one
who has at all times and under all cir
cumstances, in peace and in war, been
true to every trrst and faithful in all
things.

eu Il COmfaQe III Is all very right and
proper to erect marble monuments to our

rejoice the hearts of the living soldiers
OF North Carolina by electing 81 worthy
a representative of them Governor of our
State" And especially when this is the
last opportunity Of thus honoring either
the dead or the living.
With all due respect to the other most
worthy aspirants for the nomination. the
old Confederates appeal to the young
Democrats OF North Carolina to give them
this, their last chance, of IGNORING one of
their number. The old Confederate will
not long be in the way of the younger as
pirants. The long and thin gray line" is
rapidly growing thinner, and our ranks
