REPLY TO CHARGES
Resolution Appointing a
Committee to Establish
North Carolina S Claim.

At q meeting OF the State Literary
and Historical Association held in Rail
eigh, November 18th, 1903, the fol-
lowing resolution offered by Colonel j..
Bryan Grimes was adopted:
Resolved, That the North Carolina
Literary and Historical Association ask
the following gentlemen, Chief Justice
Walter Clark, Chairman; Capt. S. A.
Ashe, Senator II. A. London, Hon. A.
G. Avery, Hon. w. A. Montgomery,
Major e. j. Hale and Capt. w. r.
Bond, to act as a committee to inVes-
tigate and report upon the accuracy
of North Cardinals claim as to the
number of troops furnished by this
State to the Confederacy, and upon the
merits of our claim as to First at
Bethel Farthest at Gettysburg and
Chickamauga, Last at Appomattox."
Upon the resolution Colonel Grimes
submitted remarks, in substance, as
follows:
mot many weeks ago at meeting
of the Grand Camp of the Virginia
Confederate Veterans, Judge George
l.. Christian surprised the country by
questioning the claims made by North
Carolina as to her record in the War
for Southern Independence. These as
sertions of Judge Christian, occupying
such prominence and his article has
been given such currency that it
should not be allowed to pass I'M
noticed.
We feel it our duty to our State to
refute this disparagement by Judge
Christian and it is peculiarly appro-
pirate that this Association should
take up this challenge and / wish to
offer a resolution to that end.
l do not intend to reflect upon Vir-
ginia, and l would not have this reso-
luton construed in that way, but
North Carolina has suffered enough in
the past by being denied credit for
her achievements. Our State has al
ways acted the part of a loving sister
to Virginia. In her early Colonial
wars 1t was the North Carolina SOL
der, who. without reward or hope of
reward, assisted in driving the French
and Indians from the Virginia Dor
der.
In the earliest day of the Revolu-
ton the North Carolina soldier hurried
to Great Bridge to stand between the
British invader and the heart of Vir-
ginia.
In the great Civil War the first SOL
der sacrificed in defense of Virginia
homes was the Carolinian Wyatt. and
In that long and bloody struggle for
every one soldier life that Virginia
gave to protect herself. more than two
North Carolina soldiers were buried in
her soil.
Whenever Virginia has suffered
North Carolina has bled. We would
disdain to pluck one laurel from Vir-
ginia's brow-we love her still-but
we say calmly to our beloved sister
that she must pause and give us JUS
tice. We are worthy of our appro-
PIRATE motto Jesse guam videri), and
we are ready to prove our claim"

RETURNS ARMY BILL
HOuseNe Negatives Most of Senate
Amendments

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 22.-Aft-
er brief but spirited debate the house
today sent back to conference the army
appropriation bill. All senate amend
ments again were disagreed to, with
the single exception of one appropriat-
ing $4,000 for continuing the cable
from Valdes to Seward, Alaska There
was renewed discussion of the provi-
sion regarding retired officers on duty
with the militia of the several states,
the name of Gen. Nelson A. Miles once
more figuring conspicuously in the de-
bate. Determined opposition develop
ed TO motion by Mr.. Ames, of Mas
sachusetts, to agree to the senate
amendment on that subject, which is
favorable to the retention of full re-
tired pay. by Gen. Miles and other of
hcers of high rank serving with militia
organizations. The rest of the day was
devoted TO consideration of the river
and harbor appropriation bill.
The senate considered the bill pro-
viding civil government for the Pan
anna canal zone. The question of the
governments ownership of the Panama
railway and its relationship to the gen.
eral question of government ownership
of railways was debated freely. Mr..
German expressed the opinion that the
general subject would soon come be-
fore congress and said that he was
anxious now to place himself on rec
ord as opposed to that policy. Wit
nesses were examined on behalf of
Judge Swayne in the impeachment pro-
ceedings against him. Washington's
farewell address was read by Mr..
Perkins.

escorted to the railroad station, where
large crowd was in waiting. Just
before his train left President Roose-
welt thanked the police officers who es-
corted him, and said: You know
used to be on the force myself" He
departed for Washington at 3:25
o'clock.
Trooper Strikes a laborer
The president apparently was an
noyed by an incident which occurred
while he was driving from the Acad-
emy of Music to the armory. Before
the party reached the armory an un-
known man dashed into the street and
got within eight or ten feet of the pres
ident's carriage. There he was struck
with the fiat of a saber by one of the
four troopers who surrounded the
presidents carriage, and checked by
the force of the blow, he staggered
back and was lost sight of in the crowd.
The man appeared to be a laborer
about forty-five years old. Those who
witnessed the incident believe that he
merely sought to shake hands with the
president. He had run parallel with
the carriage for over a block, and Se-
cret Service Agent Tyre, who rode
with the president, had ordered him to
get out of the way. Tyre finally called
TO trooper. who drew his saber, and
as the man refused to stop struck him
a sound blow on the back.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Preserving Health and Beauty
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect

Charcoal is a remedy that the more vou

All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best Charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed Of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal and
otner narmless antlseptics, in tablet form
or rather in the form Of large. piea nj

with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon

Senate Actually Works

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. %. =
Senate committees having charge of
appropriation bills are hurrying their
work. Senator Hale, chairman of the
committee of naval affairs, today con-
ferred with Secretary of the Navy
Morton and it is expected the naval
appropriation bill will be reported to-
morrow as ii passed the house. Work

Wants Law Chanued

An agitation for a law which will
make the office of the register of deeds
OF. each county the place of filing chat
tel mortgages has been started by H.
M. Hanson, cashier of the First Ma
uonal bank, of Hanley Falls. Mr.. Han
son points out that the present system
of filing chattel mortgages with the
town clerks and village and city re-
corders is unwieldy, as often as high
as thirty places in one county are Off

ords. He urges that the filing fee be
increased from 10 to so or Go cents and
the evidences of debt be filed with the
