Whitman Confers
With Swami Over
Fusion Expenses
Governor Promises Aid in
Investigation and Hurries
to Albany

Governor Whitman and District At
torney Swami conferred yesterday at
the 81. Regis regarding the District
Attorneys investigation Of the Mitchell
Fusion campaign committee fund Of
S1,290,000. At the end Of the talk the
Governor left suddenly for Albany.
81 thought the Governor might have
some suggestions TO make" said Mr.
Swami. But like myself. he was at
present not sufficiently acquainted with
the facts. told him that was send
ing Mr.. Kilroe, my assistant, TO Al
bany TO make copies Of all the records
on file, and he assured me that ne
would render every aid within his
power. In fact, he asked me 70 suggest
ways in which he could aid the in
quiry"
$4,000 for Furniture
Furniture required by the Mitchell
Fusion campaign committee to equip
its various headquarters necessitated
an outlay of $4,000 according TO infor-
nation gathered by Acting District Al.
torney Black. The furniture, much OF
which was mahogany, was purchased
on a rental basis, with the expectation
Of getting q 80 per cent rebate when
IL was turned back. Mr.. Black said the
committee realized only 25 per cent on
the rebate.
The committee spent $4,000 on post
age. It cost $1,000 to solicit votes Of
the soldiers at Camp Wadsworth and
$4,000 70 campaign all the encamp-
ments where New Workers were quar-
tered. According to Mr.. Black, $4,000
was paid for circulating the Mitchell
nominating petitions.
Mr. Black said he has also been in
formed that before the Mitchel-Ben-
nett primaries two separate accounts
were maintained in the Hartman Bank,
one for receipts and the other for dis
bursements. Latter a different system
was installed and checks were drawn
on both accounts.
Many of these checks, Mr.. Black was
informed, were drawn before the COM
mittee knew just what the money was
to be used for. They were known as
ct. B. A. F." checks, meaning "to be
accounted for"

CLOSE TO ITS END
Little Remains of Appomattox,
Where Generals Grant and
Lee CIaSped Hands.

~ ROWN up with underbrush
and scrub pine is the spot
that marks ''the end of the
war" when General Grant
and General Lee, the two opposing
commanders, clasped hands firmly and
Grant said, Let us have peace" But
there are a few of the comrades still
left who remember that bright, sun
shiny day at Appomattox Court House.
when the two generals, flanked by 9th
er generals of their commands. went
into the historic Mclean house and
arranged the terms of the surrender
that meant the end of the war and
the return of the citizen armies to
their civilian occupations.
Unlike other famous battlefields.
there has been no attempt to preserve
the spot that marked the most impor-
tant event in the soldering of a di-
vided nation. The village has nearly
disappeared. Only three houses have
survived fire, storm and neglect, and
even those are badly warped, giving
promise that they, too, will soon rot,
and that weeds, followed by scrub
pine, will Overrun their sites. Two of
these houses have long been aban-
dOned. The other one is occupied by
the large family of a small farmer,
stranger to that part of Virginia and
unfamiliar with and apparently indif-
ferent to the great memories of the
country in which he lives.
At the time of the surrender the
village had been reduced by four years
of war to a ramshackle, crossroads
hamlet. A cluster of dwellings, most
ly of wood, livery stable and
store or two were built around the
sleepy courthouse square. The court
building was burned down 20 years
ago, and today the desolate courthouse
square is numbered with ashes,
charred plaster and shattered bricks.
In a particularly dark patch of
gloomy stretch of the pines there re-
turning veterans come upon the North
Carolina monument.
The inscription on it has caused
tense and bitter controversy in the
South. 1t follows:

ON Land And SEA
People Of MarbIehead Remember
Sailors in Their Annual Me-
mortal Services.

I'm THE celebration of Memorial
day at the town of Marblehead
Mass, there is feature unfamiliar
- to most communities. So many he
roes of the various wars were lost at
sea, that the waves as well as the
graves receive decorations.
Down Front street towards the har-
Dor marches the procession. First
comes the band, followed by the Grand
Army of the Republic, only so march
ing. Hundreds have crossed the bar.
The ministers and priests Of the
various churches come next, then the
firemen and policemen in their best.
The Womans Relief corps mothers the
school children that come carrying
flags and wreaths, while they sing pa
triotic hymns.
The procession has visited the old
Burying Hill on the rocky heights over
looking Little Harbor, where the earli-
est settlers built their first church,
about 1880. A flag and wreaths they
have placed on the tomb of General
Glover, whose regiment of Marblehead
fishermen covered the retreat of the
American army from Long island in
August, 1775, and rowed Washington
and his army across the Delaware riv-
er to Trenton on December % of the
same year. The grave of James Ham,
mond, wounded in the Constitutions
of hn of
many other army and navy heroes are
honored.
Each cemetery, old and new, is
visited, and each looks like a great
flower garden, for the old cemeteries
are full Of heroes of the early wars, and
the new Waterside cemetery, on Salem
harbor, is thicllly sprlnkled with par
ticipants in the Civil war.
But many who sailed away to meet
the foe on the sea never returned;
were not even brought back that low
ing friends might perform til. last
sad rites. These are never forgotten
on May 30 in Marblehead. So, to the
strains of columbia, Gem of the
Ocean," all march toward the harbor.
They pass the old Town house, built
in 1927, where Glover recruited his
regiment in 1775, and where the Mar
blehead Light infantry assembled on
the morning of April 16, 1861, In re-
sponse to President Lincoln's call.
On the waves that moaned the
requiem for departed heroes when
they sank to watery graves, now float
wreaths and bouquets, thrown rever-
emily and lovingly by descendants of
those men, and the voices of children
lead in the glorious anthem, America"
AS the sun sinks, flags are waved and
all sing "The Star-Spangled Banner"

Civil war they grasped each other in
warm embrace, while tears filled the
eyes of the other old soldiers who wit
messed the happy reunion.

thy merchant of Richmond, Va, was
the Southerner, while William Gilbert
Haines of .Penn's Grove, N. j., was
the Union army man.
During the reunion Haines was re.
lating the story Of the fierce battle at
Fredericksburg. He described his
leaving the battlefield, scarcely able to
walk, and told of falling over the ap-
parent lifeless body of a Confederate
soldier. The latter seemed to sudden
ly come to life and weakly cried for
water.
While the wartime story was being
told Haddonfield arose from his seat
and approached the speaker. He in
spected his features carefully and then
cried out that he was the "reb" whose
life had been saved upon this occasion
by drink of water from Haines' can
teen. The recognition was mutual, and
the scene that followed was pathetic
The battlefield scene was vividly re-
called during the silence which attend

become of the old cow?" The general
opinion was that we had seen the last
of her. On the morning of the fourth
day, father, my brother and l took n
walk over the field to see if we could
find any trace of her. We saw many
terrible sights. Dead soldiers were
lying around thick; dead horses, and
many cOwsllins and heads; from this
last we soon came to the conclusion
that our COW had been killed for food
like the rest, so we gave her up. AS
we were eating supper one evening a
week or more after the battle, we
heard a familiar believing in the
street. Everybody sprang from the
table and rushed out. There stood our
dear old COW, looking as happy as it is
possible for a COW to look at being
home again. Next day we discov-
cred that she had bullethole in her
neck and one in her side. She was
not severely hurt, however, and both
bullets came out eventually. We found
out later that all the cows in that par
ticular field had got out in some way

Memorial Day Significant.

All memorial days are significant.
They are commemorations of great
events, great institutions or great per-
sonalities. Memorial day with us
stands for the perpetual recognition of
slavery emancipated, of a warfare
waged and victory won, and the com
memoration of wonderful herolsm and
great sacrifice. AS we contemplate the
events that lie behind Memorial day,
all the services of the week may well
be considered sacred. We pause in the
midst of the helter-skelter, and rush
and fuss of our American life to do
honor to those who were willing to
fight for principle and sacrifice them
selves for the land they loved.

Teach Children the Lessnn.

Year by year Memorial day sees
fewer old soldiers participating in its
exercises. The time is fast approach
ing when the pious Office of laying
flowers and raising flags on the graves
of the hero dead will be left to a gen.
Grafton that has no personal recollec-
tlons Of the Civil war. May children
preserve and cherish the sacred tradi-
tions that have been passed down to
them from patriotic fathers and moth
ers.
Meade County news., 1917-05-24

graves Of these patriots whom we
honor on Memorial day must be fos-
tered. Patriotism must not be al
lowed to die. The young men must
not be allowed to die. The young men
must stiifen their shoulders and stand
straight in resolve to hold fast to
the principles for which the old vet
Grams beside them stood. The children
who lovingly place flowers upon these
graves must be imbued with a never
dying love Of country.

Before many years are past there
will be no veterans of our Civil war
left alive. There will be no pathetic
