the memory of a patriot who was brave in war and wise in counsel. A private sol dfer under Greene, a member of the state senate during the latter years of the rev olution, delegate in Congress and for many years 8. member of the United States Senate, he lived a long life of use- fulness. He refused an offer of a cabinet position under Jefferson. He retired from the Senate several years before his death, but he was the last of the contemporaries of Washington and Franklin to serve in that body, and when he left it Thomas Benton called him the "real Cncinnatus of America"

The plates on this column tell the colonial history of North Carolina from I'll to 1776, the careers of the reg ulators," the battle of the Alamance and the Mecklenburg Declaration of lnde- pendence.
 Another monument erected by subsorip- tions of the people of the neighborhood is the marble shaft over the grave of Ideutenant-C Colonel James Stuart of the Second Queens Guards. This gallant British officer fell in the melee upon which Lord Cornwallis turned his artil- lery, although the solid shot ploughed through the lines of his own Britons Colonel Stuart's body was buried on the field. and was found many years after. It was identified by his sword and trap pings, reinterred and marked This shaft is the only memorial on the field to Briton. Major Morehead says he does not think that any one In England knows that it has been erected. There is me morial in New York to Major Andre, who paid the penalty of death for his con nection with tho treason of Benedict Ar mold, and so far as Major Morehead knows there are no other monuments to British officers of the revolutionary war in the United States.
 A 6reproof museum building on the battle ground contains many relics of the battle fought here as well as Of other revolutionary fights and of the colonial period. In front of the museum is a field piece which spoke for liberty in Sngleton's Maryland and Virginia ar tillery on the fateful day or March lo' 17S1.
 The Fourth of July is the greatest of holidays for the people of Guilford coun- ty. They come to the battle ground and gather in the auditorium there to hear patriotic speeches.

 The battle of Guilford Court House was one of the most important of the revo- lution. It terminated in a technical VIC tory for Lord Cornwallis, as the British were left in possession of the neld.

For The Age-Herald::

Voi lHc ABe-EeTdlus
 Mir. Editor, l am going to ask. by your courtesy, space in the columns of the so widely read Age-Herald, wherein I may talk to your readers on a topic which greatly concerns all the citizens of Alabama. l refer to the Texas fever in cattle pest unknown until recent years, and at It's first appearance a mere bag atelle, but which has silently grown and spread until now it's ravages extend from southern California to Norfolk, in Vir- gnla. And this plague Is now costing the southern cattle raisers not less than the immense sum of seo, 900, ,0O0 annually. And Is costing the people of Alabama yearly not less than one-tenth of that great amount of money, or the cool, dead waste of 50, ,0O0l
 But, says the increduIous reader, how can 1t be that the Texas fever is costing the people of Alabama $60Oo,00 yearly? Well. there are by the United States cen sus about 100000 horned cattle in Ala bama, or about one head, or not quite, to each inhabitant, and an average loss on each of these of B is $6,ooo, ,oOo!.
 Now, great many cattle do die each year, in the whole state and each of these If not thus lost should be worth many times S. And an even greater number are so stunted and injured as to be of little value, and a great loss p the aggregate. Then the loss in milk and hr' In quantity Is very great, to say
 of the quality. for how can d
 ute, whose veins are filled with
 ,n virus, furnish milk or meat
 human food? But the great money

 were beef cattle in such demand
 price high as now in Chicago
 the great markets of America.
 this time, whether the readers of The Age-Herald know 1t or not, all southern cattle are under suspicion and under the ban. Not because they arc southern cattle. or Alabama cattle. but by reason of the existence of the Texas fever among southern, and to be more specific, Alabama cattle.
 Then. surely is no suspicion or ban against Alabama cotton or Alabama pig iron. For example, prime steers are worth today in Chicago from ' to dlao per pound, live weight. And thus 10oO- pound steer on hoof, Is worth in Chicago today from s7o to S75 What Is such a steer worth in Birmingham? Is he worth more than half that price? But cattle can be shipped from Alabama to Chicago in carload lots surely for s5 per head or e1oo for car. And the difference m

the patriots and permitting the reduction of the British garrisons in South Caro- lima. Charleston had been surrendered to Cornwallis and with it the best of the continental army in the southern states Tarleton had overrun South Carolina Georgia was already reduced. Then came Kings Mountain where body of brave men from over the mountains, where tho state of Tennessee was to be, gained a victory which put new life in the patri otfe cause and confused the Tories. There is Kings Mountain monument at Guil- ford. At Cowpens Tarleton was cut to pieces. At Gulford Court House Corn wallis was so punished that he aban- doned his plan to reduce the state to subjection, and took his army to the sea. At Yorktown the end came and the United States was free from British rule forever.

MORE BUOYANCY IN COTTON MARKET
 e
Feelings of Apprehension Have
 Been Quieted
RABIO RUMORS FALL FLAT
ear Tactics Change When They See That All Their Pounding of the Market Fails to Cause
 Panic.

New York. September 1.-The feeling Of anxiety and apprehension which has been prevalent in financial circles for several weeks past was perceptibly queter last week and this was reflected in some i'm provement in prices of securities. This was accomplished without any substan- tial revival or demand for stocks, the buying coming clearly, for the most part. from the covering of short contracts left open as a consequence of bear opera tions during the prolonged decline in
 prices. On the selling side, however, there was marked subsistence of the kind of pressure which has kept the market in disorder during the previous period. The change in sentiment was easily dis- eernible in the disregard of the many rumors of an alarming character which were circulated in the early part of the week alleging embarra ssments by stock and bond houses and even by influential mercantile houses The bears soon per ceived that these devices were intellectual In inducing further large offerings of holdings and they were led perforce to buy in stocks on a rising scale to cover their short contracts
 Quite the most influential factor in bringing about the betterment was the announcement of the secretary of the treasury of his intention to make large weekly deposits Of government funds with the national banks during the period of the crop moving demand The re- sponse was prompt not only in the Amer ican money market but in the great foreign money centers as well In Lon don especially the discount rate declined and it became quickly manifest that de- fenslve measures in that market against New Yorl<'s supposed intentions to draw on foreign money resources were being abandoned.
 As a matter of fact, the earnest pur- pose of present recuperation among some of the great foreign banks was based largely on the soicitude over the pros pective requirements of the short sup plies of food stuffs abroad and the ne cessity they would be under of making large remittances to this country 10 sup ply their needs when the outward move ment of our crops sets in. The treasury measure for supplying our currency needs gives promise of a relaxation of the de- mand on foreign money resources for this purpose There is a general agree ment however that this country's po- sition in the international exchange Is stronger than for several years past at this period of the year
 The past few months also have seen very large return of foreign holdings of American securities to the home mar ket This has been a material factor In addition to the burden of the home stock market during the period of stress, but the floating supply of American securl- ties abroad has been correspondingly re- duced and a smaller supply left avail able for sale to influence the exchanges.

 What the plain people always want IS the plain. square and unvarnished truth Alabama is a great state, with grand future that no one Alabamian In nun dred now comprehends. The matter or getting rid of the Texas cattle fever Is vital to her interests

Result in the State.


The result in the state looks demo-
doubt. At 1880 o'clock this morning
the Newark Evening News stated
that it all depended upon Katzen-
bach's majority in Hudson county
The Jersey City Journal gives Kat
zenbach 5000 majority while the
Hoboken Observer gives Katzenbach
but 1000 majority in the county. If
the Journal is right Katzenbach is
elected by about 4 900 majority. Es-
sex county gave Katzenbach major
ity of 5000. The Fort people still
claim the state by 5000, but it looks
as if they are mistaken.
DR.. William E. Ramsay received
the highest vote of any Of the assem-
bly, candidates in this city. getting
1,677 votes here. McKeag and Voor-

votes, respectively, while Steengrafe,
the other republican assembly candi-
date, had 1861 votes in this city.
The day passed quietly in spite of
all the hubbub made over the detec-
tives by both republicans and demo
Gratis. 1t was what is known as good
