RECEPTION GIVEN
 DOUGLAS COMMITTEE
RETURNED FROM TOMBSTONE AFTEt SECURING INCoRPO-
 RATION OF CITY.
Met at Cepot by Brass Band-Lster Rendered a Banquet at Haas Cafe. First Meetin gof City Council Set for Friday Night.

Douglas. Ariz.. May (Special.)-
 The committee representing the chamber of commerce who went to Tombstone to present the petition to the board of supervisors asking for the incorporation of the city of Doug las, returned heme last night Those
 who went to Tombstone were D.. A. Richardson. C. A. Overlook, D. H. Johnston and s. F. Mcguire.
 In the afternoon Geo. Hardiker, II. F. Dugan and Andy Scott made ar engagements to have the brass band at the depot to meet the committee. Besides the committee all the mem bers of the city council were present at the depot and q large crowd of the more enthusiastic friends of incorpor ation were on hand to extend the glad hand" to the returning commit tee who had been the means of, giving to this city the necessary authority and machinery of munipical govern ment.
 When the train pulled into the de- pot the band played Hail to the Chief" After the committee alighted from the car they were grasped by the hands and received many hearty congratulations on the good work they had done.
 While the reception was entirely informal it showed that the people of Douglas were glad to get out of the bYush of township government and onto the high way as a full fledged city.
 The returning committed and the members of the city council were all loaded into the Scott bus and with H. E. Dugan as marshal of ceremonies and preceded by the band, were driv- en to the front of the Pullman cigar store which was made incorporation headquarters during the campaign nor a city government.
 Cigars were provided for all and'I after more congratulations from those who were unable to be at the depot the committee was taken in charge by Fred Haas who had provided din ner for them at his cafe.
 The gentlemen who went to Tomb stone certainly deserve the attention which was bestowed upon them yes 1 terday evening. as through their en- l ergy and determination incorporation | for Douglas was made reality. When | the people had signified .heir desire l for incorporation by signing the peti- l ton to the board of supervisors this | appointed by the chamber of commerce, adopted the policy that the only way to incorporate the city | of Douglas was to incorporate it There were some by-playing about | who should compose the city council and while Douglas contains many worthy and competent men to sit in -he council chamber of our city gov srnment il Is conceded that worthyl and competent men have been chos- sn. That the seven men would not be the unanimous choice of all could lot be hoped for, but until they have proven themselves unworthy of the rust reposed in them they should nave the hearty support of the people If this city.
 It is not yet known when the first meeting will be held, but it is not likely the members will get together formally before Friday night, because Jf the absence of W. NJ. Adamson, who went yesterday to Sonora to be gone until Friday night

Pearson in his construction of the law,
but not from any sympathy with the
deserter In his last proclamation
on the subject, dated August "a, 1864,
Gov. Vance gives this warning:
Warning is hereby given that in all
cases where either Civil Magistrate or
militia or home guard officers, refuse
or neglect to faithfully perform their
duties in the arrest of deserters, upon
proper evidence submitted to me, the
executive protection extended TO them
under act of Congress shall be with
drawn, as ] cannot certify that Off
GERS. civil or military, who refuse to
perform their duties. are necessary
to the administration of laws which
they will not execute"
There was a supreme test of Vance'S
loyalty to the Confederate cause and
his cOnduce on that occasion should
set at rest any doubt on the subject.
The time was when Lee had sur
rendered at AppomattoX. The hope
of prOlonging the struggle was aban-
doned. JohnStOn'S army was eVacua-
ting Raleigh and Sherman'S victorious
troops were entering the city over
lures were made to Vance to remain
in Raleigh and surrender up the
State government with promises of
personal safety.
Vance chose rather to suggest the
appointment of a committee consisting
of Cows. Swain and Graham, and Dr.
Edward Warren to arrange with Gen.
sherman the terms of surrender for
the City of Raleigh, while Ne. having
shipped away the archives and other
valuable State records, left with the
rear guard of the Confederate army
under Gen. Hokc, to cast h S fortune
with those representing what was left
of the Confederate government then
at Greensboro;l and never word de-
predatory of his acts as a Confederate
soldier, a citizen loyal to the Confed-
crate government. was uttered by
Vance all during this trying period
prior and subsequent to his arrest at
Statesville and confinement in Wash
ingtOn as a prisoner OF State.
The above facts are well known to
those who were actors in those trying
times and are easily verified by ref
erence to the many publications on
the subject. AS supplementing Col.

from one who had the honor to serve
under Vance in the army, and en-
jOyed his friendship TO the close of

Was Vance Truly Representative of
North Carolina?


Mr.. Editor: Mr.. Foote surely mis-
conceiveS my meaning in regard to
Governor Vance. The patriotism, the
personal greatness of the man have
not been denied. The point IS what
Will history say of Vance, what does
the certified record say? That Vance
kept 14,600 men out of the Confed-
crate Army during the trying year of
the war on the plea that they Were
needed in the civil service has not
been denied. 1t stands in the record
on the page, and i'm the volume given
in my former letter to the News and
Observer. 1t also stands recorded that
no other Southern State retained as
The same excuse more than l,4bO
That is, Virginia reported 1,460 ex-
empts Georgia 1000; while North
Carolina reported 600, Let this page
Of the official record be blotted out,
let a truthful one be put in its place.
But unless Mr.. Foote, or some other
capable student of our history shows
that the record is false, / shall not ad-
nit that Vance was truly representa-
tive of the Old North State during
the great Civil War
from personal recollection or to point
out his services to the State as dis
tinguiShed from the COnfederacy, 1t

opponent: neither is there way ad-
duced the truth by simply praising
the man because we have seen or
known him. Vance was shreWd he was
p. triotic in his own way, he may
have been the greatest leader our peo-
pie have ever had. but the question
which that one page in the record
raises is not thus met.
The other and the secondary point
i'm my contention is:' if this first be
correctly taken, how does North Caro-
lima reconcile her monument at Ap-
pomattox with the proposed one to
Vance in Washington? In other words,
how can we claim in the same breath
that we were truly loyal to the Con-
federacy and land Vance's record in
the war? This is what it has been
proposed TO get the next General AS
sembly TO do! | make no opposition TO
the Vance statue because he opposed
secession, or because he did other
unpopular things: but only insist on
saving he could not do what he dli
and at the same time claim honorS
from the people who. we claim today,
did more for the COnfederacy than
any other State. North Carolinians
have been laughed at for some of
their claims concerning the history OF
the Revolution. Let them not give
ground now to all who know the his
tory of the Civil War To say they are
ignorant of the facts Of that great
struggle.
since Mr.. Foote seems to place
Vance far beyond all others on the
list of those who stand for North
State civilization, it is perhaps permis-
sible to look at one other side OF
Vances life: His Vulgarity. No man
i'm our history has ever been guilty
of telling so many filthy stories as he.
The larger number of such stories l
heard in my youth and which can
not be erased from the memory. came

people that it was humorous, that IL

SCOTTISH BOWLERS READY
FOR SINGLES TOURNAMENT
Many Enter for the AFFAIR and They
Are Paired OF In the
Drawing

The San Francisco Scottish Bowling
Club has planned singles tournament
to commence April 1 and end August
IS. The tournaments last year were
not as successful as in the past. Espe-
cially was this so in the double, the
players preferring to meet in practice
games. In the singles event last year
every member in the club was drawn.
This undoubtedly caused many de-
faults and much confusion.
In the tournament to be played this
year only the players were drawn who
signified their intention to play Forty
of the clubs cleverest players will be
in the competition and the winner will
have earned the title of champion.
The preliminary round. in which
there will be eight matches, will begin
April 1 and end April %. The first
round, with sixteen matches, will end
June IT. There will be eight matches
in the second round, which will close
July 8. Three Saturdays will be al
lowed in which to complete the third
round, which will end July 20. The
semi-finals will be completed on Au-
gust IL and the final match is sched-
uled for August 19.
Ample time will be given the play
ers In each round and if they have any
desire to compete there should be few
defaults. The winner of the tourna-
ment will receive a handsome silver
cup and will be the club champion for
1908.
The singles tournament for the Law
son cup will also be played during the
summer. This event is limited to players
20 years of age or over. At present
only five are eligible. They are Will
liam Watson, Samuel Irving, Andrew
Forman, G.. c. Patterson and A. Nc
Donald. The tournament is waiting
upon ]. NJ. Duncan. who will be 20
shortly. When the latter reaches the
three score and ten mark the tourna-
ment will be started. These six players
are as strong as any in the club and
many half their age could not begin to
beat them.
The drawing for the open singles
tournament resulted as follows:
