Time Will Tell.

Not the least blessing brought to
our State by the triumph Of prohibit
ton is tho elimination of the wet
politicians as political factors. The
shifty ones will become dry as pow
der horns and go to making prohibit
ton speeches, while the others will
engage in farming and other usefnl
occupations-Charity and Children.
My only objection to this para
graph is that there is no truth in it;
that is, "the wet politicians are more
active since May Goth than they
were before. 1t is clear that they are
planning to choose a wet General
Assembly that will so weaken the
State prohibition law that it will
never have a fair chance. If the
whole State could have seen how the
wet side lined up in Wake county last
Saturday June 9Th and heard them
rejoicing ond boasting Saturday
night, there would be no need of a
warning that well matured plans are
being operated with the single pur-
pose of rebuking and discrediting
the temperance leaders and setting
up a reaction that will result in the
destruction of the State prohibition
law within six weeks after it goes i'll
to effect. | do not mean that they
will dare to repeal the law; | do mean
that they intend to attach amend
ments to it that will make it a farce
But my main object in writing was
to say that you never were more
mistaken in your life than when you
said in the foregoing paragraph that
the wet element are down and out in
North Carolina politics. Do not put
the people to sleep, They must be
on the alert now as never before. Ii
you cannot see what is going on
before your eyes in North Carolina,
come to Raleigh on the 25th of Jan
uary, 1909, and be canvinced-after
it is too late
J. W. BAILEY.
Commenting editorially on Mr..
Bailey's letter Charity and Children
says this:
We publish elsewhere Mr. j. W.
Bailey's courteous and candid Objec-
ton to the paragraph he quotes from
Charity and Children. The wet poll
ticians of Wake may be more active
than ever-they have some reason to
be, but the wet politicians of David
son county are not, and some sew
enty or more of the other counties of
North Carolina. We have already
heard of some shifty brethren who
made mistake in the public senti-
ment of the State and who are now
undergoing a change of heart. OF
course the prohibitionists must not
90 to sleep and that is precisely what
they are not going to do. 1t is
hardly probable that the wet element
| of Wake and Wilkes and Johnston
| and other counties will be allowed to
nullify the will of the people of North
Carolina. Mr.. Bailey may calm his
fears.

The creature made a desperate Ell

the big fish was drowned. He stove
a rail off one motor boat and nearly

A case puzzling alike to physicians
and Others is the recovery of John
Enos Stallings, the colored boy who
some weeks ago had his head split
open by Arthur Kahn another negro,
who used IL three foot piece of iron.
Stallings was assaulted in front of
Stancells barber shop, his skull was
split and his brains ran out upon the
ground. He was taken into the shop
i'm an unconscious condition and it
was expected by physicians and all
who saw him that he could not live
an hour; and, indeed. he was reported
dead later on. But strange to say
Stallings held on TO life and is now
walking about, though he has never
regained his speech, but appears to
understand everything that is said
to him.
Arthur Kahn who was fired upon by
an officer who attempted to arrest
him after the assault upon Stallings
and who has five pistol shot wounds
in his body, is also on the road to

Death Of the Confeder-
acy.
Its Dissolution in April, 1865,
as Witnessed in Charlotte.

Extract From the Address OF Captain 5. a.
Ashe at PittsbOro.
In the meantime Sherman had ad
vanced into North Cerolina; and as
further resistance seemed fruitless, at
Greensboro Mr.. Davis wrote an offer
for cessation OF hOstilities, which
General Johnston was to submit to
General Sherman. On the 10th OF
April he set out for Charlotte, where
he arrived ON the 10Th 1t happened
that it was the fortune Of myself to
attend at Charlotte to receive further
orders, reaching there on the 22nd.
1t was period of great depression,
of heavy hearts, of bowed heads.
Mr. Davis was awaiting the result OF
the negotiations for peace. Gener-
al Sherman on the 18th of April,
agreed to peace for the whole South,
based on the immediate return OF
the States to the Union, and general
amnesty to all Confederates. But
the agreement was subjected to the
approval OF the President of the
United States. Lincoln had been as
sassinated and and Johnson was
President. He rejected the agree
ment for peace.
On the 9th General Sherman no.
titled General Johnsto and he mott
fed Mr.. Davis, who directed him to
disband the infantry and hurry to
Charlotte with his cavalry. This
General Johnston refused to do; and
he autographed Mr.. Davis that he and
the cabinet should make immediate
flight under proper escort.
The President now proposed to
make his way across the Mississippi
river, and to fight it out in those dis
myself received orders to 90 across
the Mississippi river and report for
duty there. 1t now became known
that General Johnston proposed to
surrender the officers and men
under his command. Those not un-
der his command were not included,
and were not to be protected by any
parole.
This news OF theproposed surrender
of .jOhnston's army was appalling.
All hopes HOW fled.
1t was the dissolution of the Con-
federacy. DISCRIMINATION at once
began. Some OF the regiments be-
gan to plumber the public stores;
Others under better discipline stood
by the flag, obeyed orders, and dis
persed the rioters.
All were in connection. All realized
that the Confederate government
had ceased to exist
There was a fever of hot excitement;
the weight of calamity; the appalling
uncertainty OF the future; the heart
sick with despair The Confederacy
was dissolved We stood at the open
grave of our cherished hopes.
Our country was no more.
At parting | shook hands with my
kinsman, Mr.. George Davis, a mem
Der of the cabinet, himself painfully
depressed. He said he knew not
what to do. The President had re
manned closely in doors, seeing but
few
What anguish he must have sui
fered in those fearful hours.
But his courageous spirit sustained
him. He acted with characteristic
decision. Attended by General Hamp-
ton and Il squadron of faithful
cavalry, on the Goth heleft Charlotte
and pressed on to the South. The
COnfederacy was no more.

Charlotte Chronicle.
Messrs. Cone, the cotton mill men
of Greensboro, have a loyal set of
working people, their loyalty being
born Of constant kindness and con-
siderate treatment. They have ar
ranged for a big Fourth Of July cele-
bration for their employees. a feature
of which will be a dinner. The elabo-
rate scale upon which this dinner is
planned may be imagined from the
size of the order placed for it. 1t
calls for $4,000 pounds OF water
melons, 30, ZOO saucers of ice cream,
10000 bananas, 10000 bags of
roasted peanuts, 10000 pounds of
ice, 10000 slices of pineapple, 1000
pounds of fancy cakes, 10000 lem
ons and 5000 pickles. This does
not take into account the more sub
stantial eatables that will be pro-
vided for the dinner, such as roast
turkey, roast beef. mutton. ham, etc.

the world, but it is yearly feature

promises to have fixed Boss Cox and
to get the Ohio Republican organiza ton
into line, when still sore from the effect
OF the last campaign. Publicity of what

Taft's skirts, and until Charles Taft ex-
plains the exact figure and just how the

any sacrifice to land the Secretary in the
White House.
1t is safe to say that publicity will not
be Forthcoming, for some of the items of
expenditure would not add to the enthu-
siasm for the candidate and would only
help to more strongly impress the public
mind with the fact that money makes
the Republican elephant get move on
himself.
Here at Washington there is no enthu-
siasm for the Republican ticket. for there
is deep-rooted feeling that it may be
defeated, as neither the candidate for
President nor Vice President has that
inherent strength with the voters that
is necessary for success. But perhaps
later on the Republican managers will
be able to work up enough enthusiasm
amongst the fice-holderssto get most
OF them to go home to vote, if they are
not assessed too great a percentage of
their salaries to prevent them from doing
so.
The Republican managers will no
doubt have an enormous campaign fund
for all ''the interests" will be forced to
contribute by reason of the pressure
that can be brought to bear on them by
the Administration, through the infor.
nation obtained by the investigation oi
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
and the Department of Commerce and
Labor, of their infraction OF the railroad

all this evidence hanging over theil
heads what can they do but ''comt

wholesome in these years of social
