1t was necessary in 1867, for North
Caroinians 20 meet the slanderers and
expose their injustice, their unkind-
ness perhaps. 1t was done, but that
was but the beginning. The serious
Misrepresentation have been in the
field ever since, and they have been
met again and again, and exposed,
But even sometimes now the defence
is rendered necessary by calumnia-
tors and ignoramuses. Possibly Pol
lard and McCabe were the
only two Southern authors of
books who up to 1861 mao
attempted to describe the Incl
dents Of the third days terrible battle
of Gettysburg. They were surely eth
er quite ignorant of the precise facts
or they were suffering from severe
attack of the gangrene of prejudice at
the time of writing. Hence they gave
their readers not a truthful record,

more of my articles in The News and

quotations from two Virginia writer's
prior to 1867.
James ID. McCabe, Jr., of Virginia
published a romance, he thought it
biography and history, no doubt, he
called, Life and Campaigns of Gen
eral Robert E. Lee" Here are eX-
tracts from pages 401 and 402:
Still the line pressed on, winning
the admiration of even its foes by the
magnificence of it's advance. Sudden

gallant commander to rally it, broke
in dismay and fled from the field.

fifteen standards in the hands of the
Union army"
1.-THE triumph was clearly won. and
was as brief as it was glorious. The
enemy rallied on their second line, and
poured a whitening fire into the cap
tured works now held by the Virgin
ians. CHANGING around to look for his
supports, Pickett found that he was
alone. that Pettigrew's men had fed
and left him to his fate. His grand
charge had been in vain.'

writer who in ignorance or hatred
slandered as brave North Carolina SOL

Adeline Knapp writes in the New

the following:

SELF ROBBED TREASURER
Indictment of a Han Found Locked
 in His Own Vault.

Pomeroy. Ohio. Oct. 26.-After inves- tigating for a month. the grand jury has indicted County Treasurer Thomas J. Chase. charging the embezzlement of 500 from the county treasury on September g, when he claimed that the treasury was footed by masked robbers and himself locked in the vault. When Chase was brought from the county jail into court his bond was fixed at slO0G0. As he was unable to furnish bail, he was remanded to jail. There is much excitement tonight over in- dictments expected tomorrow for oth- CT persons.
 As soon as the indictment against Chase was reported the grand jury re- stunned its investigation On the theory that there was at least one. or possibly two, confederates in the so-called rob bery. Chase comes of a good family is 50 years old. and has a wife and two sons and a daughter, the younger son, Guy, being deputy treasurer. Chase is a member of the Methodist church, a leader in Sunday school work, prom inent Mason, and was never before suspected of wrongdOing. Tie family are noted singers.

LOPPED OFF A QUARTER
Dan Patch Broke the Record for Har-
 ness Horses.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct 26.-With a pacemaker carrying a wind shield in front, and accompanied by a runner at the side. Dan Patch, driven by Hersey, paced the fastest mile at the trotting park today ever made by a horse in harness, circling the track in one min ute and ffty-six seconds fiat The for mer record, 1:56z, was made by Dan Patch in 1902.
 The son of Joe Patch warmed up in splendid shape. and after scoring once, EIersey nodded for the word With clocklike precision the brown horse stepped around the first turn and then the quarter in ;29. Turning down the backstretch, Scott Hudson, who drove the pacemaker. had to urge his horse forward, as Patch was crowding him. Patch fairly flew to the half in 57JS seconds. and when the time was an nounced great cheer came from those present.
 At the three-Guarters pole the tim CTS board showed 1:26h. When the brown paceT passed the judges stand in 1:56 flat. cheer after cheer greeted the performance, and Hersey was al- most carried from his sulky on his re- turn to the stand. The windshield used was the same as that employed when Lou Dillon trotted a mile in l;5S3s. It consisted of a strip of can was about four feet square. attached to the sulky of the running pace maker.
 Another sensational performance was that of Major Delmar, E. F. Smathers' trotting champion. when he trotted a mile to a high-wheeI suIky in 2;G flat. It was announced by the judges before the trial that the sulky was non-ball bearing. and weighed 54Jk pounds It was also explained that the vehicle was of the same pattern as that used by Maud s. in her memor- able flight against time in 1884 when she tTotted a mile in 2:OSA.

London. Oct. 27.-At 8 o'clock this morning there is no sign as to when Admiral Rojestvensky's report will be made public. but if unofficial reports should turn out to reflect the admiraPs official report, it is evident that the Russian officers made an extraordinary blunder in mistaking the trawlers for torpedo boats and firing on their phal- tom foes. This astonishing explanation is regarded here as suggesting a state of panic among the officers of the Bal tic fleet. and in that case it is suggest ed that the Russian government should fad no difficulty in removing or other wise punishing the officers responsible.
 The newspapers this morning evince more heat and impatience than here tofore at Russia's delay. which Is con sidered absolutely indefeusible in the present circumstances.
