MAY TWENTIETH IN RALEIGH.

IN today's paper VIII be found pic
tures Of the four young Soutlerners
three born i'm North Carolina and
ell of North Carolina stock-Who won
much reputation i'm the Spanish-Amcr-
lean war. Two gave their young lives to
their country and their courage is
COMMUNICATED in the Shipp monu-
ment at Charlotte and the Worel
Bagley statue to be unveiled in Cap
itol Square in Raleigh on the TWen-
tieth Of May. Two remain with us
in the flesh. Hobson and Blue Will
both be in Raleigh to do honor to the
memory of Bagley. In connection
with the pictures of these four young
men, appears also a sketch Of their
lives and a brief account Of the SEE
vice they rendered their counrcy,
which has placed thon1 among "tAe
few, tho immortal names that were
not born to die 1t is b~elicyed4that
the publication of what these South
ern youths achieved in 1898 will slim
uIate the patriotism Of the boys Of
this commonwealth.
1t is something more than remark
able, something indeed, that hints o.
the character of the people, that
these four men should all of them,
have been Southerners of the present
generation, three of whom We're
North Carolinians and the other Of
North Carolina ancestry. And it IS
both proper and in the interest Of
good taste that the memorial per-
petuating the features of one of them
should be raised on the day which is
most vital to the meanings of the
states history; ana that the exercises
directed to the enc should recognize
all.
In the unwilling of the Worth Bag
lev at Raleigh on May
twentieth, it is the purpose OF the
committee not to conGne the sign!l-
canoe Of the occasion to the young ma
val officer whose sacrifice it is primal
rily designed to commemorate, but,
in a larger sense, to emphasize and
celebrate the historical relation of
State and nation, as Illustrated in the
date itself and in the services or
those Southern young men and North
C~arolinians in the Spanish-American
war the heroic tender of whose lives
afforded modern affirmation Of the
spirit of loyalty and of daring
which found its ancient expression in
the M~eckIenburg Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
When put upon this plane, the cei-
ebration of the unwilling takes on a
deeper meaning and gains a wider il
terest. In a true sense, the monu-
ment to be unveiled to Bagley is Il
symbol OF the service OF the South in
the crisis of the Nations growth. At
the time that Bagley fell, il was rec
ognized slat in his life passed the
tradition of sec~tionalism, and that in
his blood was sealed the new cove
nant of National solidarity of pride
and effort. In his sense was the
death of the man swallowed in the
pledge of a nations fealty. And it is
with this idea of historical breadth
and truth that the unveiling of his
monument deserves n VIII be treat
ed as typifying the truth that the
New South was fashioned from The
old.

because the cotton stored in the
warehouses would appear in the
statistical reports and might
have a depressing effect on the
price Of the staple. He believed
in abolishing the cotton eX-
changes and objected to the gov
ernment giving monthly reports
on the condition of the cotton
crop as affording spectators a
chance to manipulate prices. He
closed by dicussing a number of
public questions, among them
the trusts and urged the farmers
to vote only for those men who
could be depended upon to do
their duty in suppressing the
illegal trusts and all cOmbina-

my beloved parish: which life should
be made the happiest life possible as
the rightful portion of the best type of
citizens in the wOrld-the farmer and |
tiller of the soil.
At the close of his English address |
DR. Moss repeated the essential points
of the address in French, for the ben
eft of the persons present who did not
understand English.
At the conclusion Of Dr. Moss
address on motion a vote OF
thanks was rendered him for the
splendid talk he had given.
Pres. Avant then introduced
Supt. V. L. Roy, who began by
speaking of the advantage of the
Union to the farmer. He said that
there were over nine hundred mem
bers in the parish of Avoyelles and
that the liveliest interest was
taken in the movement by the
people of that parish. He spoke
of the objects of the Union and
declared that the farmers had
the right and should assert it of
fixing the price of what they
raised. All other vOcatiOns set
: the price for their products and
the farmer should too. The
movement undertaken was big
one and the problem before
I them was big one, neverthe-
less they should grapple with 1t
ard solve it. He said that the
farmers as individuals also,
should take large part in poll
tics with the view of placing only
the best men in Office. Further,
upon them depended the schools
: and they should see that the
children should get the very best
education possible as a large re-
sponsibility rested upon them in
taking part in solving the big
questions that were now before
the American people. At the
close of his speech he repeated in
, French the principal part OF his
talk in English.
The meeting was adjourned and
! plentiful barbecue dinner was
served and enjoyed by those
present.
The following resolutions of
respect, submitted by the COM
: mittee. L. G.. Breaux, Alcee Ian.
dry, and F. G. Mouton upon the
, death of Aimee D. Landry, were
read and adopted upon reas-
; sembling:
Whereas it has pleased the AL
mighty to take from our ranks
our late lamented brother,
And whereas he was one of the
best and most deserving and
most devoted brothers of the
1 Farmers Educational and Co.
+ operative Union.
e Therefore be it resolved by the
: committee appointed by the said
a Union that we hereby express
: our deep regret for this bereave-
i ment and express the sympathy
and coincidence of the Union to

I lamented brother.
e And be it further resolved that
!, these resolutions be spread on

u Mr.. J. Gilbert ST. Julian was
! then introduced by Pres. Avant
Il and he spoke in French. He ex
n pressed himself as favorlng the
r Warehouse plan, but was rather
: : apprehensive that it would work
n against the farmer in a measure
