udc convention, grape tobacco
1906-10-18 - Henderson Gold Leaf
- UDC 10th annual convention in Durham. Mrs. Samuel Watkins attends, as does local fave Julian Carr
- Plans for a Confederate memorial arch in Raleigh were discussed. I hope it’s gone. (I think it is. Side note: one of the recently removed monuments at the Capitol, the Henry Lawson Wyatt Monument, was sculpted by a guy named Gutzon Borglum.)
- Agreement with the Wilmington paper: enforce the vagrancy law
- Chew Grape Tobacco! Yes, Grape Tobacco!
- Thad Manning, Gold Leaf editor, is also the tax collector
