HARD To PUT NAME BACK.
New Tablet Likely to Ice Placed on
Cabin John Bridge.


Now that the Presid ent has ordered
through Secretary Wright. the res
toraton OF the name Of Jefferson Da
Wis TO the tablet on Cabin John bridge
from which IL was cut AZ years ago,
the manner of replacing the name OF
the former Secretary of War on the
mutilated tablet is a problem that is
perpleXing the army engineers, in
Guiding Mai. j. J. Morrow, who will
have direct supervision of carrying
out the work.
To replace the name in the chisel-
ed out portion OF the tablet can he
accomplished by two methods only.
either TO rut the name in deeper or
to restore il by the use of raised
letters. Both methods would give
the name OF Jefferson aDvis undue
prominence on the tablet.
In all probability new tablet will
replace the old one. in which the en-
tire inscription viii be as II once APP
reared on the old tablet. This seem
ingly is the best solution OF the prob
lem.
Mai. Morrow is out of the city, and
viii not return until this afternoon.
The statement was made at his ONCE
that. although they had received no
oficfal orders from the War Depart
ment, the matter had ben consider
ed and they realized that the prob
lem was a difficult one.

LATE HoNoRs FOR DAVIS
President Orders His Name Restored
Co Tablet.

The name OF Jefferson Davis is TO
be restored to the tablet on Cabin
John bridge. from which it was cut
az years ago. President Roosevelt
has instructed the chief Of engineers
Of the United States army, through
Secretary Of War Wright to see that
this Is done.
While no official records bearing
on the subject are extant. il is gene
rally accepted as fact that the name
was cut out by order OF Caleb smith.
Secretary of the Interior. then in
charge of the aqueduct system. at
the suggestion of Representative Ga
lusha r. Grow. Of Pennsylvania.
The restoration OF the name OF
the president OF the Confederate
States of America marks the triumph
Of the persistent and long continued
efforts of the people OF the South 20
remedy what they consider a blot
on the memory OF President Davis.
The question OF restoring Il has
arisen several times since the civil
war. and. during the Cleveland adj
ministration IL looked as if Congress
would step in and order the name
replaced. Last winter Representa-
tive Meyer. OF Louisiana. made a
strong effort TO have Congress take
some action.
Secretary OF War Wright. himself
a former Confederate general is re-
sponsihle for the order Of the Presi-
dent Mr.. Roosevelt boasts OF his
Southern ancestry. and has always
been an admirer of President Davis.
Secretary Wright had but little diff
Guilty in convincing him that the
name should be replaced.

MIR. WATKINS HOME DYNANITED
Dastardly Attempted Murder.

Arvonia, Va, February ga
Last night the home OF William
Watkins, colored man. who lives
in the western section Of this place.
was dynamited by unknown persons.
and he, with his two children. who
were in the house with him. barely
escaped with their lives. The house
was badly shaken up. and an end OF
il broken to pieces.
The explosion occurred at mid
night, when Watkins and his two
boys were asleep. II was so violent
that IL was heard by citizens through
out Arvonia. even guests at the Ar
vonia Inn, more than a mile and "A
half away. were awakened by the
loud report.
IL Is not known here who perpe-
trated the crime. A like happening
took place last fall, when the Color
ed Odd Fellows Hall here was blown
up with dynamite.
Much dynamite is used here IN the
slate quarries. and quantities of Il
are stolen from the powder and dy-
Mantle houses.
About six weeks ago Sherin Lewis
Williams and Matt Gregory went
with posse to search various houses
west of Slate River. hoping thus TO
capture members of this gang. In
one of the houses searched they
found forty-seven STICKS of dynamite
concealed. The colored people of
this entire community today are in
state OF great excitement.
