John G. Davis Arrested.

Washington, Special There were
sensational developments Saturday in
the case Of John G.. Davis, member
of the local bar, who was arrested
Friday on the charge Of having OBJ
tanned money under false prtenses.
The amount, which Davis is alleged to
have misappropriated in transactions
with his clients, mostly women. was
thought at first to have been small,
but Saturday notes, aggregating $780,
600, said to have been given by Davis,
were exhibited to United States Dis
trict Attorney Baker, and it is ru-
mored that the amount finally may
reach 100000. Martin c.. Davis,
brother Of John xnd secretary Of a
local building and loan association,
was arrested Saturday on charge Of
conspiracy.
A dispatch from Raleigh, N. c.,
saws: Davis created a sensation in
this State in the early ninties, result
ing in his incarceration in the State
insane asylum here from May "a,
1892, to November 80, 1897. He was
q A0"yOA LII w EA41A1LS tO1l, auO d pIOul-
nent and a jealous member Of the
Methodist church. He furnished the
money to build Methodist church
and placed in it costly chimes. He
spent money freely. Then came pom
plants from clients involving money
matters, said to aggregate about $780,
600. He was arrested and the case
was noted one in the judicial an
nails of the State. His counsel set up
the plea Of insanity. The jury found
the accused insane. He was then sent
to the insane asylum here. Upon his
release some years later he went to
Washington and in many ways since
tried to make reparation in some Of
those from whom he was charged with
fraudulently obtairing money. During
the past two years he has been send
ing occasional remittanees to those
with who he had dealings in Whining
ton. His defense will be insanity in
the present trouble.

CONFEDERATE REUNION

Major General Carr, Of the North
Carolina Division, Gives Notice Of
the Nineteenth Reunion to be Held
at Memphis, Camps Urged
to Pay Their Dues.
- General Orders No. 80: The major
general commanding the North Caro-
lima Division of the United Confed-
crate Veterans announces that the
nineteenth annual reunion Of the Uni
ted Confederate Veterans will be held
at Memphis, Tenn, on the Sth, 9th
ard 10th Of June, 1909, and it is hop
ed that the gallant old Tar Heels will
attend in full force and make dis
play worthy of our good old State.
Those who had the pleasure Of at
tending the reunion held at Memphis
in 1901 know from past experience
what a delightful occasion this next
reunion will be, and what hospita-
BILE reception awaits them from the
public spirited citizens of Memphis
Although no official announcement
has yet been made as to. the railroad
rates for this reunion, yet it is ex.
pected that the usual low rate Of
one cent mile will be given as has
heretofore been. given at all our re
unions. The rate from any railroad
station can be learned by inquirins
Of the local agent. The entertain
ment committee at Memphis will FUR
nish free meals and lodging to al
veterans who cannot pay for tn,
same.
All tie camps in this division ar
earnestly requested and urged to pa.
without further delay their annua
dues, because no camp is entitled t.
vote or voice at the reunion meet
ings that is in arrears for it's dues
Many camps fail to pay their due
from inadvertence and neglect AM
are thereby deprived Of representa-
tion, thus reducing greatly the vot
to which our State is entitled. Thi
is matter Of much Importance an'
every camp is urged to send its due
at once to Gen. W. E. Mickle, 80
Common street, New Orleans.
The division is fortunate in havin
as dts sponsor at this reunion Mis-
Lena Everett, a granddaughter o
our gallant comrade, Capt-sL. l. Ever
