presidency. On the floor of the con-
vention, William McCarroll. of New

the war for the preservation of the
Union both States had been foremost
in creating.
He reviewed the history OF New
Jersey troops during the war and con
cluded with a most eloquent reference
to the universal sentiment in his
State for a complete forgetting of the
animosities of that period.
Major Thornton, representing the
United States Government, accepted
the monument and guaranteed its
preservation, care protection.
Governor Glenn being presented by
General Stewart, made fcrvidly elo-
quent and very able address, COM
pletely capturing the hearts of the
Northern and Southern troops present
even the hearts of the women.
After an eloquent reference to
Grant and Lee, when the Union SOL
dicrs present cheered Lee and the
Confederates his allusion to Grant,
lived to see the day when such evil
dences were given of the spirit Of
reconciliation, and he be-
lieved he but voiced the gratitude of
the spirit of his own dead soldier
father which lowered over the scene
in praise and thanksgiving for a re-
united country. He applied this by
pointing TO the monument bCf.re him
and directing the attention of the as
Sembled thousands to it. He en-
phasized this spirit by saying that even
the color of the stone represented it,
for there was neither blue nor grey,
but the sculptor who chiseled it had
either by accident or design so fiXed
its unfading tint as to- show mingling
of the blue and grey INTO the one solid
color which it bore, this being a re-
sultant tint of the two combined coll
ors in close combination,
AS the audience gazed and saw
there was a perfect hurricane of en-
thusiastic applause from all sides, ii
requiring several minutes for the up
roar and applause ana cheers tc

Especial to News and Observer
Wadesboro, N. c., May 18.-The
home Of Mr. W. H. Meeks, who lives
in Morven township, this county, near
Pee Dee river, was the scene of a
bloody and probably fatal assault that
was made on a white man by the
name of Duncan Atkinson by two ne
groes Press Nivens and Lun Street
er, with q knife and an axe. Atkin-
sons face was completely laid open
by deep cash from his forehead to
his chin. There is also a very deep
cash in his right breast and one Of
his arms cut to the bone, and several
miner cuts all over his body
The trouble grew out Of twenty
cents worth of whiskey which the
negroes sent Atkinson after to Meeks'
the negroes claiming that they did not
get their moneys worth. Streeter has
been arrested and placed under a five
hundred justified bond but Nivens has
not yet been taken.

Winston Salem, N. c., May 1S.-The
spirit of the bankers convention, as
such, has been that of personal con-
tact. In this, say all those in attend
ance, lies the business principle. But
such business as is done is accom-
plihed under social intercourse that
is both charming in it's character and
sincere in expression.
Conducted as this business is, in
whole-hearted meetings, talks and in
terchange of views and opinions. the
way in which the real work of the
meeting is being done is both novel
and gratifying. Anyone attending this
meeting and observing the number and
calibre of the men here from a dis
tance can have no doubt of the fact
that the State as a banking business
and industrial entity of national inn
portance has arrived The late
huor at which last nights banquet got

port of it's doinSs

of New York, got off an impromptu
speech that made him loved for all

Jones is a round little man, with an
Irish tongue, head full of brains
and heart of gold. Despite these
traits he swears to being Welch, but
he is no Welcher.

At the ola Salem Academy there
was a recital by the students and the
Senior class. which entirely captured
the bankers, the girls entering into
the fun and giving and receiving
hearty cheers as the bankers special
moved aawy.

A coffee grower of Juana Diaz has
conceived the project-which we COM
mend-of having the coffee growers
of Porto hold an assembly for the pur-
pose of asking for tariff protection.
In the issue of Tuesday the BoLETIN
published the letter in question, CIV
/! ing it all the Importance which it has
in effect, seeing that it treats of the
defence of our principal source of
wealth-censurably ignored-and calls
for a new display OF energy on the
part of the coffe planters, who ought
to take advantage of the present time
of expectation.
We, as matter of course. applaud
the idea. and offer the help which
has never been denied to works of
public benefit and utility. We bell
eve timely and we'll chosen the prop
osed assembly of the coffee planters
at the present time, and We hope, if
| it is effected, that from it will result
the good to be sought for from every
propaganda and the fruits which
should accrue from every just and
Legitimate campaign.
Coffee, as we have remarked many
times, is excluded from the products
protected by the American tariff, in
spite of the present law of free trade
which is supposed to establish mutual
tariff protection, but whose advant-
ages to US are very predetermined.
We have always defended this
economic doctrine, in all Its purity,
because in it we see the salvation
of our Island and the means of
escaping the economic crisis which
has brought such great disaster upon
our agricultural population, and such
profound disequilibrium among all
the aspects Of general life.
An assembly of coffee planters at
the present time, would materially as
|sist the efforts of Governor Winthrop
now being made in the mother coun-
try, the work of the League of Num-
Icipalities soon 10 be taken mp before
the governmental powers. and it would
also be the means of pointing out to
our Legislature, shortly to convene, the
necessity for its aid in saving our prin-
|cipal source of wealth.
