The first sentence in the last will
and testament Of the late J. Pier
pont Morgan reads as follows:
Il commit my soul into the hands
of my Saviour, in full confidence
that having redeemed it and washed
it in His most precious blood. He
will present it faultless before the
throne of my Heavenly Father; and
l entreat my children to maintain
and defend, at all hazard and any
cost Of personal sacrifice, the blessed
doctrine of the complete atonement
for sin through the blood Of Jesus
Christ, once offered. and through
that alone"

Information Wanted.

The State historian OF lHe 1Nol vi
Carolina Division Of the Daughters
of the Confederacy has asked The
Scotland Neck Chapter to urge the
citizens to help them in obtaining
all the information possible in re-
gard to the Confederacy. give the
following extracts from her letter:
Il request
Il. "reminiscences Get veter-
ans to write or dictate, and women
of the sixties, their daughters, sons,
intimates, every possible record
which will faithfully reflect life in
the Confederacy-m military, political,
industrial, social. domestic, religious.
SO. Letters, diaries OF certified
copies and other documents OF war
date.
80. Papers on Confederate relies
stating by whom owned and how
acquired, describing them and CIV
ing their reliable story.
"a. Accounts Of Confederate aid
and hospital associations.
IS. Memorial and other address,
es Of historical character not pub
lished in permanent form.
IS. Sketches of faithful slaves.
"All of these papers are of great
value. If written with grace OF pen
all the better, but this is now sec
ondary, even immaterial. The i'm
perative demand upon US who live
in the last days of the survivors Of
the Confederacy is not literature
but noblest material for literature;
not even the charming paper, but
ineligible, authentic records of
! facts. Once we realize this the pa
pers can be had. This work is for
ali Of us, not the gifted pen, so only
will we secure this year the thous-
and annals Of our people for which
we are striving.
Done, simple yet great thing
will have been accomplished. In
these papers will be stuff that shall
furnish the historian, inspire poet,
novelist, artist. establish justice,
kind!e nigh endeavor, and whence
little expected there may come
flash light upon some vexed ques-
ton, some disputed trath.
These historical papers are to be
fled by me in the office Of the Sec
rotary Of State for safety and future
access. We hold them as priceless
heirloons.'
We therefore appeal to the now
remaining faithful few who fought
for the Southland to revert to the
old days under the STARS ard Bars"
and to relate to us any facts con-
corning this period, or brave deeds
Of some old comrade who has already
answered the last roll call, or an in
cident in the old plantation days,
heroic women and faithful slaves.
Help us to write a true and fair his
tory of North Carolina, so that her
future sens and daughters may look
with pride upon the part she played
in the war between the States, that
they may boast Of beng sired from
true patriots and not of disloyal
rebels.
The Scotland Neck Daughters u.
D. c. will greatly appreciate all help
and information sent to the Chapter
which will be forwarded to the State
historian for safe keeping as soon
as received.
