When Lincoln was selected Vance did all in his power to prevent secession.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-10-08

First at Bethel. farthest at Gettys- burg, last at Appomattox"--such is the proud boast of North Carolina for her grand devoir in the great war of 1S61- Co. Of her white population, men, wo- men and children, one out of every six was at the front. No State embraced secession with more reluctance, but b:ving engaged in it, no State support t1 the cause with more heroism or ore fortitude. She gave everything out honor to the South, and there re- poses in the bosom of old Virginia as much buried valor and unselfish patri- otism from North Carolina as from any other State, North or South.
 When the news was flashed over the wires that President Lincoln had is- sued a call for volunteers to coerce sovereign States, ZebuIon B. Vance was addressing an immense audience, pleading for the Union and opposing the Confederacy. His hand was raised aloft in appealing gesture when the fatal tidings came, and in relating the incident to g. New England audience quarter of a century later, he contin- used: When my hand came down from that impassioned gesticulation 1t fell slowly and sadly by the side of secessionist. I immediately, with al- tered voice and manner, called upon the assembled multitude to volunteer not to fight against, but for, South Caro- lima. If war must come, prefer to be with my own people. If we have to shed blood I prefer to shed Northern rather than Southern blood" North Carolina took her favorite son at his word, turned secessionist with him and volunteered for the conflict. The fisher left his skin to rock on
 Tamars glittering waves,
 The rugged miners poured to war from
 Mendip's sunless caves:
 oaks the fiery herald flew
 And reused the shepherds of Stone
 henge-the rangers of Beaulieu.
 Zebulon Baird Vance was not only North Carolina's favorite son, but her that Nathaniel Macon. Willie P. Man. gum and George E. Badger were also sons of North Carolina. Never was l there a man of whom 1t could with | more truth be said that he was sprung | from the people Never was there a | simpler character, never one of less | guile, never one whose heart was more | conspicuous on his sleeve than this | mountaineer with the tongue of an ora tor, the heart of a patriot, the mind of | a statesman and the soul of a poet. | He enthused the populace from the stump and he instructed grave Sena- tors in the council chamber. His tongue never acquired the art of de- ception and his hand never felt the con- tact of a tainted dollar. One might as easily have "plowed up hell with a pine shingle" as to have tempted him with a bribe.
 The Vances went from Normandy with the conqueror and helped to gain the day at Hastings. They were of the equestrian order. and in the Eng fish peerage the name is De Vaux, as it was in France. At an early day the family settled in Virginia, and it was from the Old Dominion that came the

He took the stump in that behalf, and the majority of North Carolina was with nim; but the bombardment of Fort Sumter fired the Northern heart. and Iincoln's call for volunteers served to ] recruit Southern as we'll as Northern 1 armies. It sent Vance to war as Cap- l tain of the 14th North Carolina Reei-
 ment. Later he recruited and was ap- I pointed Colonel of the 26th North Car | olina, and participated in numerous bat ties at the head of that historic com mand. When Governor elect he went | into the battle of Malvern Hill over the protests of his comrades, who told him
 his place was at Raleigh.
 As Governor he put in commission n
 blockade runner that he purchased on
 the Clyde. The vessel made numerous successful ventures, bringing in supplies
 and arms and taking out cotton. It Is
 very likely that the war would have
 ended year sooner but for Vance's cf-
 forts in this behalf. He was Governor
 when the war came to an end, and it
 was his proud boast that in North Car
 olipa the writ of habeas corpus was not
 suspended and the civil remained par
 amount to military authority It was
 true of but one other State, North or
 South. At least, that is a statement in
 one of Vance's speeches. Of course. he meant that the habeas corpus, so far oS ANOt th SdEOtIHd was concerned. was not suspended by Confederate or State authority. It was suspended by Fed eral authority in the closing days of the war.
 When Vance got out of prison he re- turned to North Carolina and began the practice of law. In 1870 he was chosen senator In Congress but was denied his seat. Six years later he was elected Governor after most exciting contest, defeating Judge Settle. He was re- elected, and probably was Chief Maeis- trate of the "Old North State" longer than any other individual. To him is attributed the immortal suggestion of the Governor of North Carolina to the Governor of South Carolina"
 He was a man of infinite jest When friend remarked to him once that 1t was strange that he and his brother be- longed to different churches he ap- swered: Yes; but a stranger thing than that Is that Bob believes in the doctripe of falling from grace and nev- CT falls, while do not believe in the possibility of falling from grace. but am always falling"

is. where are they now? Tradition
 among the Laplanders reports that tn,
 whole colony two centuries ago emi
 grated in a body to the Eastern coas
 of Greenland, attempting to cross tht
 hitherto impenetrable masses of ice ir
 the center. No tidings ever have come
 back from them. t
 Some of the scientific men who &C.,
 companied the Hayes expedition made this question a matter of special study. They reported that doubt could hard
 ly exist that these people did once in- habit that part of the coast. and that they now had utterly vanished. If they had been swept, away by a pestilence their household belongings. at least would be left to tell of them. But not a shard of pottery, not a single grave. remains to show that they ever lived. It was supposed by the Danish mis- sionaries that they had perished in the ranges of ice mountains, but among the Laplanders there were traditions that they had safely reached the western coast and settled there. now forming a civilized community, wholly isolated from the rest of the world.
 One of Nansen's voyages was, in fact, directed to that coast In the hope of finding this colony. He was not able to reach the northern part of the coast and the mystery is, therefore, yet tn- solved.
 Tennessee's Lost Pigmies.
 Another problem which perplexed the last generation was the long extinct pigmy race which centuries ago un- doubtedly inhabited the Tennessee Legends among. the In- dians told of such. a tribe of dwarfs who were supposed to be of more in- teiiigence than the red men. But these legends were very hazy. A burying ground, however. actually was discov- cred In the early part of the last cen- .ury in which all of the skeletons were ,f pigmy proportions. Some of them were carried away to college museums. But 1t is believed no scientific inquiry las ever been directed to this ques. ion. much speculation sixty years ago was he fate of the colony of French emil ,res who fled to this country in the eighteenth century and took refuge in he northern part. of Alabama Like hose Trenchmen who found safety in Delaware they were for the most part l f noble blood. Marquises and. Counts 1 armed their living in Wilmington as ancing masters and even chefs, and heir descendants live there still.
 But the poor gentlefolk who went | tol Alabama to escape Athe l uillotine penetrated the wilderness | nd made up a colony Of vine growers. armers, etc. They worked helplessly |, awhile, starved and then melted away E Whether they returned |: } ungrateful Franco or died in their L xile nobody knows. It was roman |. e, tragical question which much in- 'rested the last generation and Is now 'rgotten. But 1t is still unanswered.

It was still talked of familiarly in the first half of the last century. seafaring men declared that when the water was calm and clear they had caught glimpses of ancient cities beneath with their glittering roofs and spires, ana that in certain conditions of the atmos- phere the tolling of the bells could be distinctly heard.

President Roosevelt Determined
to Have Rate Legislation.
Entertains Same Views Now as
He Did Last Winter.
so TOWNSEND SAYS.
No Important Changes to Be
Made in Famous Bill.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 6.-"Presi-
dent Roosevelt is in dead earnest on
the subject of railroad rate legislation.
and is just as determined as ever that
legislative regula Hons shall be en-
acted looking to the federal supervi-
sion of the freight rate situation"
This statement was made yesterday
by Representative Townsend of Mich
igan, one of the authors of the so
called Esch-Townsend railroad rate
bill Representative Townsend called
to talk over the general subject with
the president and of the necessity for
making changes in the measure which
he and Mr.. Esch proposed last winter
Mr.. Townsend did not have oppor-
tunity to go fully into the subject with
the president yesterday, but the presi-
dent required him to call again today.
Il have no authority to represent
the presidents views as to railroad
rates, said Mr.. Townsend, fbut I can
say that he entertains now the same
views in principle as he expressed in
his message last December. The
creed of the whole matter is not that
the commission should fix rates but it
should have the power to substitute a
vestigation to be unjust. Without
such authority the evils complained
of could not be reached
Have any suggestions been made
of changes in the Esch-Townsend
measure %
Some changes may be made" re-
piled Mr.. Townsend. but they viii be
for the purpose of making the bill
clearer on certain points 1t is in
tended, Of course. to include the reg
ulation OF private cars, refrigerator
cars, and terminal charges. We
thought they We're covered by our
measure, but in order that there may
be no question about them, they will
be included in the bill in a definite
manner. One thing is quite certain
there will be no narrowing of the
scope of the bill--no modification of
the principles involved
Mr.. Townsend said it was expected
that the senate committee on inter
state commerce would prepare and re-
port measure to regulate railroSSS
freight rates. While he did not have a
definite idea as to the scope Of the
senate measure, he regarded it as
doubtful whether the members of the
senate committee would agree with
Mr.. Foraker that the proposition in
volVed only a question of methods.

ports relative to the alleged statement
of his deputy, Mr.. E. Z. Rittenhouse,
with reference to revoking the licenses
of the New York Life and the Mutual
Life Insurance companies in the state
of Colorado. says that he does not be-
lieve Mr.. Rittenhouse made any such
statement and if so they were made
absolutely without authority; that the
policy of the department is cOnserva-

pected or is contemplated.
Mr.. Bent telegraphed to Mr.. Rit-
tenhouse as follows:
your comment on the New York
Life and the Mutual Life noted. Would
urge conservatism until we confer rela-
tive thereto"
In replying to Mr.. Bent's telegram,
Mr.. RittenhOuse said he had made no
such comment. Mr.. Bent further stat
ed that judgment in matters of such
magnitude should not be given until
all the facts are made known through
the legislative investigation now pend
ing in New York city and other inves-
legations that are now being made.
