THE SEMI-WEKKLY MlSSSfcjStjKR: TUESDAY, JULY "25899. nOOQE'S CHEEK BATTLE FIELD Tle Subcommittee Jlet Here ITester terday to Give Out the Contact for a jaTilllou The Celebration August I7th The last general assembly of North Carolina incorporated the Moore's Creek Monumental .Association, and named as incorporators Captain K. P Paddison, George F. Moore, Aaron Colvin, E. A. Hawes, James H. Colvin, James F. Moore, Dr. George F. Luca3, Win. F. Bell, Frank P. Flynn, James E. Henry, Jacob K. Henry, Henry Mur phy James N. Hemy, Dr. E. Porter, Gibson James, L. C. Powers, J. C. Nix on, Bruce Williams, W. W. Miller and D. H. Armstrong. The association was incorporated for the purpose ' of preserving the monument erect ed on the battlefield of Moore's Creek, in Pender county, formerly a part of old New Hanover county, about 20 miles from Wilmington on the Yad kin branch of the Atlantic Coast Line, which monument was erected to the memory of the noble patriots who on the 27th day of February, 1776, at Moore's Creek, gave their lives in a battle with the British to secure Amer ican liberty. The objects of the association are thus set forth in the act of the general assembly establishing the association: "The objects of the association is to add to and beautify the grounds on which he monument is situated, which Is now the property of the state; to compile the records of the patriotic deeds of those nobe sons whose ashes have been neglected for more than a century and to do such other things as .tend to inspire among our people etate and national pride, and a higher appreciation of patriotic manhood." The act appropriates $100 for 1899, $100 for 1900 and $50 for each succes sive year for the purposes above indi cated. The association met at the bat tlefield on the 4th of July and organized by electing Mr. James F. Moore, chair man and Captain R. P. Paddison, sec retery. The business transacted hy the association were published in The Messenger subsequent to the meeting. Among other things, it was decided to erect a handsome pavillion for the purpose of holding celebrations, picnics and dances, and the following com mittee was appointed) to get up plans, make the contract and have the pavil lion erected right away, viz: Dr. George F. Lucas, Dr. E. Porter, Mr. W. R. Wal ker, Captain R. P. Paddison, and Chair man James F. Moore. With this end in view, the committee met at The Orton in this city yesterday, but we learn that the contract is still open so that those who desire to do so can yet put in a bid with the secretary, Captain R. P. Paddison, of Point Caswell.. Mr. H. E. Bonitz, the well known ar chitect of this city, made the plans for the pavillion and it is to be quite a handsome structure. It will be located on the banks of Moore's Creek, and in the mean will be 30 by 30 feet in dimen sions. It will be octagonal in shape and there will be room enoughj to have three sets on the floor at one time on the occasion of dances. The association at its recent meeting decided to have a celebration at the battlefield on the 17th of next August, and it will meet there again next Tues day to complete the arrangements. There is to be a grand basket picnic and an oration by some speaker yet to be selected. A good band will be provided for dancing, and altogether the celebration is to be made one of rare enjoyment. An, immense crowd Is lookedi for on that day, and a large number will go up from Wilmington, as a special train will be run from the city to the battlefield.
