CartersvlUe, Ga., Auguat 31.—Editor Constitution: I am not well and may not write- many more letters for jrour readers, and therefore write this one to you to enlist your interest and hearty co-operation In a matter that Is very near my heart, and I am sure would be as near to yours If you were twen ty years older and had more time. I have received the five volumes of history complied and edited by Judge Walter Clark, now the ohlef justice of the state of North Carolina. This Is no ordinary work. It Is on a higher plane than any J have ever seen, and Is to the land what “Service Afloat” la on, the sea. For seven years of unremitting toll Judge Clark has worked on this labor of love without pay or reward save that which come* from the accomplishment of a sacred duty faithfully performed. Of course, he has had capable and willing co- operators who out of the 254 sketches wrote 179 of them. Judge Clark wrote all of the others, besides a full half volume, (fifth) of graphic events and comments that concern all the South ern states as much as North Carolina, and which Includes the first published history of the North Carolina navy— the Albemarle and Shenandoah and Florida and some other smaller cruis ers and blockade runners. It Is wor thy of mention just -here that Com mander Waddell, of the Shenandoah,- was the last man to keep the confed erate flag at the masthead, for his ves sel was in the mld-Paclflc ocean and he did not know of the fall of the con federacy until the 19th of August, 1865, and had a sea fight with the ene my on June 4. The volumes are beau- tlfuly bound In gray and gold. The paper and the printing Is of the best quality and their pages embellished with over 900 portraits and battle scenes. These portraits are, of course,- a reproduction, eight to a page, of the old-time photographs that the mothers of the dead and living boys furnished to the engravers. These engravings were reproduced by that patriotic southerner, Major Pattou, president of the University Publishing Company, New York, without cost The volumes ere quite large containing 800 page* each. Judge Clark eelected the best men to write the sketches of their reg iments. Truth of History Guaranteed. 1 What a guaranty of truth and cub ture when we aee in this list of con tributors such eminent and patriotic names as General D. H. Hill, General Clengman, Governor Vance and his brother Robert, General Tc >n, Colonel DeRossett, Major Graht.m, Major Moore (who complied the roster twen ty years ago), Dr. Moses Hoge, of Richmond, and captains and lieuten ants by the score. And there are min isters and privates mingled in whose work is well aqd ably done. There were eighty-four full regiments and twenty-eight battalions besides the state troops (home guards) and every regiment and battalion had pne or more historians. It is a magnificent work and If I were a North Carolinian and lived far away I would purchase a set If I had to do without tobacco and whiskey for a month, for the price Is only *5. There are 17,000 names in dexed in these volumes and I would be sure that some of them were kin to me or my folks. What a wonderful state. Their long forbearing people twice sent a commission to Washing ton to plead for a peaceful solution and avoid war, but got no promise or consideration, and then they made war as one man—and all the women. -They had only 115,000 of full grown men of 21 tn the state, but they could not keep the boys out and 125,000 troops .were enrolled. What a sad comment must come In here, for It U a matter of record that of these troops 41,000 were killed or died In the service. 1 have the old roster before me In four volumes containing 125,000 names ana appended to every name are slgnlfl-. cant -letters telling when he enlisted jmd where and What became of him. 8ounds an Alarm. Rut why am I writing so earnestly about this? Because I wish our own state to do something of the kind be fore itTs forever too late. It. is otorrp lng to read In Judge Clark’s “Review and Conclusion” how many of his con tributors died before they had finished their sketches and either he or some other had to take it up and complete it. Now the cost of the work to the state to $1 per volume, which to the actual cost ot the paper, printing, binding and engraving. The great* portion Is as readable and fascinating as a romance and will brighten up and fasten the patriotism ot oar young men, whether they be from North Car olina or Georgia. Now, some of us old veterans wish The Constitution to start this ball In motion. Your great paper can do It Find out how many veterans are mem bers of the legislature and how many outsiders like Tip Harrison ana Charles Edgeworth Jones and Gover nor Candler and General Evans and Evan P. Howell you can enlist as co- operators. We cannot make as large and complete a book as Judge Clark has made, but we cin certainly make a roster, even though Senators Clay and Bacon and Lon Livingston have to have a bill passed giving our agent the use of the confederate archives. Judge Clark had to do that Now please take the lead in this matter, for It is a sacred duly we owe to our chil dren and their children. I asked an old private the other day how he could prove his service. “Oh," said bp, “there are a dozen comrades I can prove It by.” “But when they are all dead and you are dead, how will the children prove that their father or grandfather was a confederate sol dier?” He looked thoughtfu land said: “I reckon, major, the thing would be lost to them.”' ■ Let’s let the nigger and Teddy alone for awhile and work on a bigger thing. But I am not done with Teddy yet— not until h« retracts and apologises. Your friend, CHARLES H. SMITH, • (Bill Arp.) ENTHUSED CROWDS GREET ROOSEVELT Natives Electrified During New England Tour. PLAUDITS LIBERALLY 61YEN Stops Hade at J*lany Points in Massachusetts and Brief Ad? 1 dresses Delivered. LYNCHINQ APPROVED. North ' Carolina Coroner’s Jury Renders Unique and Start ling Verdict. A special from Charlotte, N. C., says: The coroner’s Jury in the Tom Jones lynching case has startled the entire state by Its verdict approving the lynching. Jones, a negro who confessed to an assault on Mrs. Will Smith near Seven Springs Friday,, was lynched Monday afternoon. He was caught by a posse of three, taken to Mrs. Smith’s house and iden tified. He confessed his crime and gave up a razor he had stolen from his victim’s husband. Qe was put in a barn to await, the arrival of the sher iff, but ten men, dtogulsed as negroes, came from the woods and demanded him. Officer Walker refused to give him up and was Bhot. in. the neck,, , The men 1 battered down the door, put Jones on. a tram cur, ran it into the woods, bound him to a log and fired a volley of shot into him. He was not killed, at the first fire and another vol)ey ended his misery. Buttons and. pieces of cloth were taken as souvenirs from his body. Mrs. Smith will live, but Is horribly disfigured. Coroner Thomas Hill and a jurv went to the scene and held an inquest. After examining several witnesses the Jury returned this verdict: “We, the undersigned empanelled as a Jury to inquire Into the cause of tht> death of Tom Jones, find, that he came to his death by gun-shot wounds by parties unknown to the Jury ob viously by an. outraged public acting in defense of their homes, wives, daughters and children. In view of the enormity ot the crime committed by said Tom Jones, alias Frank Hill, we think they would have been re creant to their duty as good citizens had they acted otherwise.” SALOON WRECKED BY WOMEN. “Blind Pig” Demolished and Propri etor Forced to Flee. Belmont, Tenn., a small town six mile* west of Nashville, was the scene of much excitement, when a mob com posed ot women made a, raid on a sa loon and completely demolished it The saloon, or “blind pig,” has been running for some days. Women or ganized and marched in a body to the saloon. They began by throwing rocks through the windows and then pro ceeded to enter and finish, the work, breaking bottles and completely wreck ing the place. Tho proprietor fled. GEORGIA SHORT ON CROPS. Condition of Cotton Even Worse Than nt Ibis Time Last Year. Georgia crop conditions just now are somewhat worse than they- were last year at this time, according to the crop report Issued Monday by tfie de partment of agriculture, and tost year the crop conditions were considerably below the average. The average condition ot cotton throughout the state at the present time, according to the report, is 70 per cent as against 75 per cent tost year, and tbat was considered rather a poor showing. A special from Augusta, Me., says: President Roosevelt passed through three states Tuesday, delivered eight speeches and received the plaudits of a quarter of a million people. The greeting Which has marked bis prog ress through New England has been flattering in the extreme, and Tues day’a experience demonstrated his popularity perhaps more than ever be fore. , Everywhere at the regular stops and the smaller stations along the road the people were strenuous in' their efforts to catch a glimpse of Urn or to hear him speak,, and at Haver hill, Mass., this desire assumed such a form that the crowds completely overrode the police and surrounded the president's carriage, making, it dif ficult for. It to advance. The day’s Journey was: not without Its Incidents. As tho president was about to: board his car at South Law rence, Mass., after delivering bis- ad dress, the leader of the baud stepped up and made himself known to him. He said his name Was Banan, a for' mer cowpuncher and' barber at Me- dura, N. Dak., where the president’s ranch Is located. The president Im mediately recognized him, and greeted him as an old friend'. The man evi dently desired the president to know that he bad profited by his advice given some years ago, said to him: "You told me to get married and set tle down, and I did.. I have got six' children myself.” ’ This afforded the president no little amusement. While on bis way through tho streets of Portland, the president‘s carriage was stopped, and he was presented with an album containing views of the city. He stood up In hla carriage and briefly thanked; tho donor; Captain Charles F. Dam. Conspicuous among those who boarded the train at Old Orchard to extend a welcome to the. president was Congressman Littlefield, of Rock land. His visit was brief, and the’ conversation turned on other subjects than trusts. Mr. Littlefield declined to comment on the president’s Tues day night’s speech, pleading that ho had not finished reading It. When Danville Junction was readi ed the president was greeted by Post master General and Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Garret A. Hobart and Mrs. Charles Emory Smith. Some stops were made which wpre not In the itinerary. At Lisbon Falls and Brunswick, Me., im mense crowds gathered, and the presi dent was.. obliged to appear on the rear platform and say a few words. Although the day was a particularly hard one on him, the president gave but slight signs of fatigue. Tuesday night he was the guest ot Governor Hill, who met him at the deport and! escorted him to hte residence, where the president made a short address; The governor's bouse has become historic because of the fact that it was the home ot James G. Blaine, and: tho president occupied the Identical: bed room used by that statesman. JAILER’* WIFE A HEROINE. With Gun She Stops Prisoners in Break For Liberty. Nineteen prisoners of the county jail, at Covington, Tenn., made an at-, tempt to break out Tuesday morning In the absence ot the jailer, and near ly succeeded. They had bored through the top ot the cage and were about to break through the root, when, the wife of Jailer Smith took a hand. She armed a negro “trusty” and taking her husband's shotgun, covered the prisoners and kept them still un til her husband’s return. COLLIDED ON TRESTLE.
