The Confederate Veterans' Associa? tion this year tnccls at Louisville, Ky., too far away for many veterans to at? tend.

And in this, it is under? stood that they will be largely joined by the veterans of South Carolina. The railroads have already Indicated their purpose to give a low rate for the occasion; and It Is expected that this, together with the love the people of North Carolina bear to him whoso monument is to bo unveiled, will bring a groat crowd of people here. And this will certainly be true If the people of Raleigh promptly take the matter In hand In time und do their duty. DAMAGES AWARDED.

C, Jan. 20.?Wo see In your paper of tho H7th a false state? ment of the Godwin shooting affair here lust week. It Is bud. yes very bad at tho best, but let us have the truth,'and It Is only In the defense of truth that I reply. I have been pnst?r of tho Baptist church here more thnn two years, and live here, so 1 knew the parties, and as a disinterested person, heard both sides. MHO IS MR. GODWIN. He Is ;i man who has anything- but an enviable reputation from the best peo? ple i:i the community. He owns some property, a small farm nnd one or two town lols; but If he owns five tho best informed people lib not know it. If ho has ever been connected it'llh tho "Secret Service" of Raleigh, N. C, it is not known about here, though he may have been. But if ho has been connected with it lie should have re? ported himself win n lie hud still fix? tures nt his home on the public road, thou ran a still In tho woods and cold the illicit whiskey till a revenue oillcer came to Ahoskte, N. C /and he bc cumc scared and hid his ke.tr in tho woods. This seems to have been his se? cret service secret. Nothing is known of his thirteen years' connection with a publishing house. Jle has been working for more than a year for a portalt company. Ho is a man of Rood address and plenty of energy, but he does not always direct it u right. THE SHOOTING. More than three weeks ago Godwin nna .Parker, his brother-in-law, on the way home, Wore fired Into twice with small shot. Godwin was hurt very badly, but only a few stray shot hit Parker, and somebody fell. This Is bad. and tho best of people deplore any KUclr coiulttct. Godwin attempted no arrest. Then, last Thursday morning, before day, men came and fired into his house with a rille, pistols nnd ;i gun loaded with buckshot, it seems: but Godwin nor any one else was hit. Ho told here that he skinned his nose going upstair.-. Now, it is ecocdlngly bad, and we de? plore it, for Godwin, or any one else, to be treated so, but can never gain sym? pathy from respectable people by mag? nifying it. The truth Is bad enough. THE CAUSE FOR IT. We do not know the cause, but If there had been any still cut up we have never heard of it. We hope Mr. Go.I win has cut up Ills, and that now all the Others will be served likewise, !f there are any in operation. There Is a report that there is one, and that he was ac? cused of attempting to report the par? ties with whom he had been connected in the business. We do not know the facts. As to the men, I mipposo It Is "salnn rebuking sin." THE ARREST. Mr. Godwin sworo out warrants for two men, not three. Mr. J. C. Jenkins did not vounteer to make the arrests, but he being only Town Constable re? fused tijl he was deputized, and thus fur. i d to to. He says no one offered to go with him; but when he was asked if he was going by himself, ho said: ?'Yes," for if he went by himself the man would come willing!-?-; but if he carried a company there would be trouble. . lie started at 3 o'clock p. m.; went four miles to make the arrest, made it and then served a summons on each of live wltnesesH, going two und a half miles to the home of one. He made only one arrest, for the other man lived over In another county, and was gone home, so it could not be made till the papers were changed. He reached home at 7::10 o'clock, when Mr. Branch, the dc If rljvo._was_ )-arming one ..negro?not. nine?with Iiis d ers. Mr. Branch did net swear out the warrant,which ought to have been done, and was not. Mr. Jenkins carried tho prisoner be? fore the justice from whom Godwin got the warrant; but stopped at Godwin's home and called several times as loud as he could. Then he went to the house of Godwin's father, but he was not there, and he did not. know where he was. Then, after waiting an hour, the justice released the prisoner, with the understanding that If they needed him they would call for him next day. Next day both of the; parties were In the town, and the Officer Jenkins met Godwin nnd told him the men were here, and that he would get them for trial if Godwin wanted them. Godwin said he would not meet them for half of tho United States, and to keep from n elng them went around the village to the depot and took the train. So that shows v.hat a hero he is. NO TRIAL. You must have both parties before you can have a trial. If the matter had been managed correctly, let the dot;!- gone on and the prose: utor had attended trial, after the right parties were found, justice might have been meted out, and wo are sorry that the li.ht parties were not. convicted. The reason Mr. Godwin did not meet for trial. I suppose, was because he was afraid of the men. and also that some ihiiig might be brought out that might implicate himself, Some men are like Pilate oC old?"i:.eir leeoid Is so bad (li v eannii >!?> right when they would like to de it." Our community Is far from what it should be. and we are sorry lhal It is hot better; but we feel that it has beeii materially Improved by the removal of Mr. GoGdwln. R. T>. CROSS. EDENTON.

It Is announced through the dally press that the Atlantic and Danville railways shops aro to bo moved to Piitner's Tolnt, just near enough to the lands of tho Port Nor? folk Investment Company to inako them enhance in value. It Is further stated that tho shops of the Seaboard Air Line will remain near Port Norfolk, and they will necessarily bo greatly enlarged to meet tho demands of the extended system.' It oidy remains for Investors to tuko advantage of those facts to make a certain profit on tho Investment of Port Norfolk lots. A groat number of new buildings aro contracted. E. N. Tcsaler, of Boston, will build live, others will build so as to. bring the total up to the highest record yet attained. We confidently expect -'CO new buildings during 1S00. Tho furniture factory Is getting ready to do business with a rush. Advantages will tell, and the people aro beginning to see tho "drift of things" and taking advantage of the tide. Tho Port Norfolk Investment Company will extend favors to persons desiring to build, for we. mean that these vacant lots shall bo built upon In the very near future. A liberal policy will do It. Tho lots were bought cheaply and they ure being improved and fold cheaply. It is the finest property on tho market for the money. Easy monthly payments. Only a few seasons sinco people said there would never be clretrlo cars running" to Port Norfolk. To-day wo have two lines. They f.ald wo would not get a bridge to West Norfolk. We have had It tor threo years. They t-aid wo would not get the "licit Line." it Is there. They said wo would not get the "N. Y., P. & N." terminus. Wo havo that also. Thoy sndd we would not get tho Armour ie!n;r plant. You can sec It at Port. Norfolk. Wo havo also the Southern railway compresses, and a great many other good things that wcro not on the list. Now we. tire quite conildent that within five years wo will have several whole-gale houses and a number of additional manufacturing plants and a population of at least C.OCO. Every one whojpoks Into tho situation must see that business Is traveling In that direction at a rapid rato. The amount of available land is limited, and those who buy now are sure of a substantial proiit. Tartlca are ready to ad vanco money to persons who desiro to build.
