Baxter Shemwell, who was
given q hearing here Monday and
held for the Superior Court under
charges of carrying concealed
weapons and two assaults with
deadly weopons, caused warrant
to be issued for Capt. W. B.
Smithers, the conductor of South
ern Railway train No. 81, who had
trouble with Mr.. Shemwell on the
morning Of the 21st. The warrant
was placed in the hands of Sheriff
Jones, but neither he nor his dep.
uty was able to locate Captain

town. Mr.. Shemwell became i'm
patient waiting for the arrest Of

he would take the warrant to
Charlotte in the hope of meeting
with better luck in the Queen City.
Mr.. Shemwsll charges Captain
Smithers with assaulting him with
his ticket punch and insists that
the railroad man must go to Lex
ington for preliminary hearing.
It is announced that Mr.. Shem-
well will bring a civil action
against the Southern for damages.

The Confederate Reunion at Winston
Salem, .

The citizens of Winston-Salem,
with that splendid spirit of enter
prise and generosity, that has
ever characterized them, are max
ing elaborate and extensive prep
arations for the entertainment of
the Confederate Veterans on Au-
gust 10th and Goth, which is the
time fixed for the State reuion of
the "Boys in Gray"
It is the purpose of the various
committees having the matter in
hand to give the old heroes such
an enjoyable timeIthat they will
carry with them to their homes
the pleasantest recollections of
their visit to the "Queen City of
the Piedmont" The gates of the
city will be thrown wide open to
the "Old Guard" The locks will
be taken from the doors, watch
dogs will be muzzled. The police
department will be suspended.
Homes will be thrown open, and
the old fellows will be welcomed
with open hands and glad hearts.
Old comrades will welcome old
comrades. Sons of veterans will
be glad to grasp the hands of their
fathers friends. Kind ladies,
daughters of the Confederacy,
smiling maidens, all will do their
part to contribute to the happi-
ness and comfort of this veterans
during their stay in the city.
| Winston-Salem does nothing in
a public way on small scale.
The occasion of the State Re-
union will be made notable one
in the history of the wide-awake
city. Committees are at work ar
ranging details of the interesting
event. Comfortable sleeping quar-
ters will be arranged those will be
plenty to eat and drink and there
will be something going on all the
time to amuse the veterans, and
everything possible will be done
to make them feel at home.
| Among the number of distln.
guished speakers for the occasion
will be nephew of Gen. R. E.
Lee.

The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1908-11-19
An Optimistic View.

Pensacola Journal:-Just listen
TO our good friend Jordan of The
PUNTA GoRDA HERALD. '
''Indeed, to the HERALD, the
political future looks so dark that
we apprehend that within the next
twenty-five years the republic may
be convulsed With a revolution
like unto the reign of terror in
France"
Let Bro. Jordan calm himself,
and like the philosopher that he is
when his nerves don't worry him,
cast his mental vision back over
the past since reconstruction days
and see how much we have to he
thankful for and how little to
fear. Daniel Webster said that
this republic was "the last hope
of the world" and so it is in a
political sense, and for that very
reason the educated intelligence
and, above all, the widely diffused
conservatism of this age and coun-
try resulting from greater property
interests per capita than any other
place on earth, can be safely relied
upon to save us from the cata-
clysm our Punta Gorda friend
lives in dread Of. Go read Car
lyle's "French Revolution" or
any good authority on the subject,
and see how utterly wanting here
are all the causes which plunged
France into unspeakable horrors
and sent her king to the guillotine.
We tell you most earnestly, Bro.
Jordan, that this country is doing
pretty well at present and we per-
sonally insure it against anything
remotely resembling a French
Revolution for the full length of
time to which you refer.

The Florida newspapers seem
unanimous for Southern man for
president. If all the newspapers
of the South will unite on the idea
and keep it prominent in the pub
lie mind for the next three years,
the South will be pretty apt to Sc
cure the recognition by the ma
tional Democracy to which she is
justly entitled. The next thing in
order should be a conference of
Southern leaders in Atlanta or
Birmingham, three years hence,
to consider the matter and formu-
late plans.
