Whereas,' His services in behalf of
this company have been great and
unselfish and his virtues as a citi-zen
marked and conspicuous, it is
meet and proper that we should ex-press
our recognition of them In ap-propriate
terms.
"Resolved—In the early! days of tht |
company, when the patriotic impulse
and restless mental activity of that
great man. Judge David Schenck, in-augurated
its formation and organi-zation,
he was ever ready to assist
him in every effort which tended to
advance its success, and during the
last two years of Judge Schenck's
life, when though weakened by sick-ness,
he was still struggling regard-less
of physical suffering to place up-on
a firm foundation the offspring
of his patriotic affection. Major
Morehead was truly his right hand.
"In 1902 he became president of
the company and until his death de-voted
his best energies to the work
confided to him with an Intelligent
zeal which had no limit and an un-selfish
sacrifice which won for him
the love and admiration of all North
Carolinians who know of his work
and who rejoice In the unstained
honor of our commonwealth.
"He realized that a land without
monuments is a land without men-
-r&ries, and that in such a land pa-triotism
rarely finds a home. Hence
he was unceasing in his efforts to
place upon the Battle Ground monu-ments
to perpetuate the renown of
its heroes and of others who had
contributed to the glory of our
state. Through his instrumentality
many have been reared upon the
Battle Ground. Ey his unceasing ef-forts
a bill has within the last few
days passed both houses of our na-tional
legislature appropriating thir-ty
thousand dollars to provide for
the erection of a monument in mem-ory
of Major General Nathaniel
Greene and the officers and soldiers
of the Continental army who partici- ,,,,„,,
pated with him in the battle of Gull- J ^ Horry
ford Court House.
"The chief and great desire of his
last days was to have the Battle
Ground declared a national park of
our government, with national super-vision
and care, believing that thus
>;ould be perpetuated until the end
ct the' republic the alms, designs and
results of the formation of the com-pany.
To .this end he contributed
more than all others, and if his
hopes cf success shall ever be real-ized,
the result can be justly attrib-uted
to his efforts.
"Resolved—The. cardinal traits of
his character were truth, sincerity
and charity. Sustained by tnese
great qualities, he was incapable of
meanness in any of its many forms.
He was wonderfully accurate In all
statements of fact; he abhorred and
scorned. duplicity and cant, and his
most intimate friends will fail to re-member
an instance where he ever
injured the fame and good name of
any man or attempted to do so by
language of obloquy and reproach, or

George R. Wendling, one of the
country's most popular lyceum lec-turers,
delivered his famous address
on Stonewall Jackson before a large
and appreciative audience in the an-nex

church Monday night. It was
both an eloquent address and a cor-rect
interpretation of history. Mr.
Wendling has been heard in Greens-boro
on several occasions, but never
to better advantage than on Mon-day
night. The lecturer was intro-duced
in a graceful and pleasing
manner by Maj. Charles M. Sted-man.
What the Solonc Are Dcinfl For Us
Down at Raleigh.
What may be termed the official
anti-trust o.il for tne legislature, so
far .as tne Democratic leaders oi tne
wing oi the paity advocating . aaui-uioiiftl
legislation are concerned, came
into the house yesteroay through Mr.
Turlington, of Iredeu, and is pro-nounced
to have the most ample
"teeth" from the viewpoint of the
advocates of th.s bill. It gives the
attorney general power to examine
witnesses and prosecute for con-tempt
of court when any. refuse to
testify. It placts a «10,000 fund
at. the disposal of the governor with
which to pay the expenses of working
up cases during any year.
The hcuse defeated tne Spalnhour
bill to pay sheriffs |20, to $40 for dis-tillers

state administration fireproof build-ing,
with indication that it will pass
with amendments materially reduc-ing
the amount provided.
The senate has passed the house
bill prohibiting the sale of near beer
In North Carolina after June 1.
The bill to prohibit the sale of
cigarettes in North Carolina has re-ceived
an unfavorable report at the
hands of the- house committee on
public health.
The Ewart bill to provide for in-spection
of all whiskies and other in-taxicants
shipped into North Caro-lina,
and imposing an inspection tax
of 25 cents per gallon, was consider-ed
at. lepgth by the house committee
on the liquor traffic. Mr. Ewart
represented to the committee that
.there was shlppd into North Carolina
during the past year not less than
three quartets pf a mllllonl»gallons
Of intoxicants, 'in spite Of the pro-hibition
law, and that a great part
of It was adulterated and poison to
a degree. He would maintain inspec-tion
much as the oil Inspection Is
maintained. The committee finally
concluded the bill properly belonged
to the judiciary committee, deciding
to return it to the house for refer-ence
fo that committee.
The bill desired to be enacted by
the present legislature for the con-struction
of the great central high-way
/lirough central North Carolina,
from iTeainort to the Tennessee1 line,
fand taking in many of the principal
cities and towns was perfected Tues-day
in a central highway convention
in which fifteen of the counties
through which the road would pass
in Its four hundred and sixty-odd
miles of meanderings through the
state were represented. The bill au-thorizes
counties to provide $50 per
mile toward the expense of construc-tion,
and the gathering of the re-mainder
needed by subscription, and
volunteer work on construction.
There will be a board of trustees
made up of representatives from all
the counties interested to direct the
construction.

next general assembly a scheme for
equalizing the valuation of lands and
other property assessment and collec-tion
of taxes and such further meas-ures
in regard to taxation as they
deem proper for the best interest of
the state.

Affairs of the City.
At a regular meeting of the board
of aldermen a few days ago permis-sion
was granted to the owners of
the auditorium to build a spur rail-road
track across the city's property
on Davle street into the building,
with the provision that no expense
of the undertaking was to attach to
the city.
A bii. was drawn up for a propos-ed
ordinance to regulate the points
In the streets at which carriage
drives urn1 teamsters might take |
their stand to be least In the way.
Merchants on South Elm street
complained that, by congregating
around the front of their stores near
the passenger station, these licensed
drivers hurt their business.
The aldermen, at the request of
the city hall committee, voted to add
another department to the city cala-boose
making a room In the building
to be used as a' cell for the detention
of white women prisoners.

and light commission was submitted
by the chairman, Mr. W. T. Sergeant.
The report was very satisfactory,
showing a net profit to the city In
this department for the last quar-ter,
of a little more than $3,000.
Death of Mrs. M. W. Noah, Sr.
Mrs. M. W. Noah, Sr., died Tues-day
morning at St. Leo's hospital
from the effects of ad operation per-formed
several days prevloulsy. In
an effort to stop the progress of

and interment was made at
Greene Hill cemetery.
Before marriage Mrs. Noah was
Miss Baraba A. Sharpe, daughter of

In Jail on Charge of Murder.
Claude Gllmer, a young colored
man, Js In jail on the commitment
of Judge Eure awaiting trial at the
next criminal term of Guilford Su-perior
court on the charge of the
murder of Connie Garrett, another
youth. It seems that the two young
negroes attended a dance on East
Market street Monday night, and on
their return IK me slopped at the res-idence
ct Hampton Winchester, col-ored,
who was sick of la grippe.
When the visitors became boisterous
Winchester requested that they be
put out of the house, and it was
then that Gilmer be:ame ugly, drew
his pistol and shot Garrett, who died
in a short while.
Within an hour after the shooting,
and after the death of his victim,
Gilmer appeared at police headquar-ters
and surrendered to the officers.
He was given a hearing before Judge
Eure yesterday and held for Superior
court without bail.
THE PLACE FOR MONEY.
While the officers were returning
from Greene township Friday with
Jim Suits, who had been arrested
on a charge of blockading. Deputy
Sheriff Crutchfield arrested Jim
Green, colored, who is accused of
several acts of thievery near Revo-lution
and White Oak. The negro
was met in the road in the Alamance
church neishborhcod, and his arrest
was not effected until after a fierce
struggle. The prispnre was com-mitted
to jail, and when the next
criminal term of court convenes he
will be called upon to answer the
charge of assaulting an officer, in
addition to the charge of larceny.

J^m Suits, Blockader, Arrested.
Jim Suits, who has been wanted by
the government and state officicls for
. several years to answer the charge
i of blockading-,-, was captured last Fri-day
morning in Greene township, at
the home of his mother, near Mt.
Hope church. The arrsst was made
j by Deputy Sheriffs John Weatherly
land George Crutchfield, of this city,
and Henry Andrew, of Jefferson
township. The officers also captured
a portion of a blockade distilling out-fit,
although the distillery had been
removed. The distillery was located
on the Al. Neese place, near the
Clay township line.
Suits was brought to Greensboro
and committed to jail. Tuesday he
was given a hearing before Squire
Collins and held for the Superior
court. He was remanded to jail in
default of a bond of $500.
, Put It in the Bank, Where It Will
be Safe.
One can hardly pick up a newspa-per
without seeing something like
this: Near Sherley, W. Va., the other
day, Mrs. Elizabeth Allen, a wealthy
widow, was found dead in her home.
A large sum of money which she
had kept in the house was missing,
and the coroner is of the opinion
Mrs. Allen was strangled to death,
after which the robbery was effected.
i Mrs. Allen lived alone and had no
! faith in banks. She paid for her
i distrust with both money and life.
| When persons hoard money the pub-
I lie usually finds it out, and the
| knowledge is a constant incentive to
| burglary and murder. People who
' live alone are usually supposed to
be mysterious, ard as often as not
are supposed to hoard up money and
hide It away, whether they, do or
not. If you are a frugal person, the
best protection you can have is for
it to be known that you keep your
money in the bank. There are other
things that constantly menace the
private hoards of money, notably iire
an-' rats; for strange as it :nay
seem, .some people will hide away
I nper money rather than convert it
into specie. Put your money in rhe
hank, if you have any.—Danbury Re-porter.
It is passing strange that any one
s-iould Pttempt to hoard money
around the home when there are so
many safe banks in the country. For
instance, here in Greensboro the
Home Savings Bank will take care of
your money, and in addition to af-fording
absolute safety, will pay you
4 per cent, compound interest. To
what better use could you put your
idle money?
Respectfully yours,

North Carolina's Harbor at South-port.
Correspondence Washington Herald.
In a recent Issue you have an edi-torial
on "Naval Coal Depots,'- In
which you say: "The naval general
board has outlined a comprehensive
plan, which has been worked out, so
as to secure continuity of policy,
on the theory, of which there are
many sagacious advocates, that an
ample stock of coal and oil is as es-sential
In the preparation of a fleet
for war as Is reserve ammunition."
All of which is true, but the naval
board Is probably not aware that
North Carolina has extensive coal
deposits, and also has on the Atlan-tic
coast, at Southport, one of the
best, if not the best, harbors on the
Atlantic coast. There Is no better
place for a coal depot nor one more
widely accessible than the harbor at
Southport.
While the naval depots scheduled
in your article are important, none
of them can' claim so many advant-ages
as the harbor at Southport,
and the naval board would do well
to investigate and ascertain this
fact. It Is a land-locked harbor,
with a depth of water sufficient for
the heaviest battle ships, and has
a climate especially favorable for a
naval rendezvous.
