North Carolina for the Bethel Monu

tnings in readiness for the joint Vir
ginia and North Carolina . unveiling
ceremonies Juno 10th. The large
monument has been completed and
will be set up within a few yards of
the church between Yorktown and
Hampton. It is eighteen feet high
and bears this inscription : "To com
memorate the battle of June 10, 1861,
the first conflict between the" Confed
erate and the Federal land forces,
and in memory of Henry L. Wyatt,
private. Comnanv A. First Resriment.
North Carolina Volunteers, the first
Confederate soldier to fall in actual
battle." On the right and the left
sides of the monument will be the
battle flags of 1861 and 1905.
The commission has paid the con
tract price secured by the Virginians,
for the marker at the Wyatt side.
The marker is four feet high with
polished face, and is ready all save
the inscription. There will be in
scriptions telling the circumstances
under which Wyatt was killed. At
the unveiling June 10th, Governor
Montague, of Virginia, will welcome
the North Carolinians, and Gover
nor Glenn, of North Carolina, will
respond. The Governors' of all the
Southern States have been invited.
A Vendetta? It Looks Like It.
The waylaying and shooting of H.
Clay Grubb, who was" last week ac
quitted in Rowan Superior Court of
the charge of murdering Obe Davis,
his brother-in-law, at Piney church,
last year, has the appearance of a
vendetta. The slain man and the
slayer each had strong friends and
strong enemies and each wa3 evident
ly afraid of the other, as well they
might have been. They lived in a
community of lawless, desperate
men, and the killing of Davis, fol
lowed by the acquittal of Grubb, is
not calculated to promote eace of
mind or give any greater assurance
of the safety of life in Boone Town
ship. It is in that township that sev
eral blockade distilleries are report
ed to be running, and it is said that
the reason they are not destroyed is
that the county officers and the reve
nue officers alike are afraid to go in
to that neighborhood on that errandr
What relation, if any, the moonshine
business and the neighborhood feuds
bear to each other we are not in po
sition to say. but it is' very certain
that the making and drinking of
moonshine liquor are not calculated
to promote a. sniirit of obedience to
lawor point to the paths of pgfcce.
The recent transactions at Piney
church and in Rowan Court re quite
sure to deepen the vendetta feeling.
This is already proven by the event
of last week, which was manifestly
the result of a conspiracy. His ene
mies will get Grubb yet, perhaps in
the next attempt, and his friends may
then be expected to take reprisals, if
they do not begin before he is killed.
The situation at this time appears to
be as well developed a feud as. even
Kentucky ever witnessed. Charlotte

- Washington Duke's Will.
The will of the late Washington
Duke has been probated. The estate
is estimated to be worth more than
aT million dollars. B. N. and "J. B.
Duke are named as executors. Sums
of $10,000 were left to each pfthe
Methddist Conferences for missions
and to provide a fund for aged min
isters. The Watt3 Hospital, of Dur
ham, received $3,000, the 'Oxford
Orphan Asylum $3,000, the Metho
dist Orphanage at Raleigh $3,000,
and the Kittrell Institute, colored,
$5,000.
Then there is set aside in trust 30
per cent of the entire estate, this to
be divided at different times until the
youngest heir has reached 35 years of
age. Thirty per cent of this trust
fund goes to B. N. Duke and a like
amount to J. B. Duke, 28 per cent to
Brodie L. Duke and the remaining
12 per cent to the heirs of Mrs. Lyon,
the only daughter, who- died a num
ber of years ago. .
