From time immemorial it I painful; want of enterprise a has been the custom of all na tions to honor their heroes with garlands. Away back in the history of Greece when the Olympic games played so' important a part in national life, the victors were rewarded, not with money nor; a crown of o!d, but a wreath of laurel leaves. They did honor to their most prominent god, Jupi ter, by crowning him with a wreath of laurel. (This asso ciation of wreaths and o-arlandc; wi tli the brave has come oh down to the present day and now the dead share with the living, in the flowery crown1. England, on the nineteenth, day c3f April,' honors her dead hero, and quondamjidol, Ben jamin Disraeli, Lord Beacons field, by wearing the flower he loved so well, and by going to his. grave and covering it with J beautiful primroses. j : The Italians honor their dead- hern, Guisppe Garibaldi, who died June 2, 1887. They set apart this day of the year to do him honor bi going in sad procession to his monu- community, a majority of whose citizens are 01 this , class a meat ana decofatinp; it with flowers. But the people of the South ern States do honor to their valiant hero, Stonewall Jack son, on every 1 oth day of M ay, the an nive rsary of the day he met with soj sad and untimely a fate, in a way in which that larore hearted leader would have probably himself chosen. ' 1 On the ioth. of May the lov ers of the "Lost Cause" deco rate not Stonewall Jackson's grave alone, but those of all the gallant dead who (gave up their homes, their fortunes, and their lives in defense of our beautiful Southland. On the Toth of -May throughout the south there is not one grave with monumental shafts covered wi'th primroses, be decked with daises, and be dewed with tears, but thous ands of lowly graves in public cemeteries and private bury ing grounds, with marble slabs and with plain wooden; boards covered with lilacs and the honey-suckles that the grate ful earth gives back for those who poured upon hen bosom their best heart's blood. And we, the Southern people, should keep up this custom of honoring our deed heroes. From generation on to' gener ation we should keep it up and on that day let no Confederate hero's grave be unhonored. May God help us to keep it up as long as the earth gives flowers with which v to j. honor them. v I A great majority of people pass on through life with their eyes virtually closed to 'every thing save their-own self inter est. Many of them are so completely wrapped up in what they are pleased to call their own, and are so fearful lest what they may do or say should help some one else or some other enterprise than j their own that they even fail to rec ognize many things which work in various ways directlyt or in directly for their own materi al good ; and instead of be coming benefactors to their towns or communities they be come mere sponges ready to take in , everything, but unwil ling to emit anything. People of this class, however, are gen erally too small to contain much even though they become full ; and it does not take 2 too care- tul observer to notice in a wa ci t ty. V. . 11 that vainh 1' Dorn . general retrogression. Who has not noticed with mortification the evil effects upon towns and communities of this little "littleness" ? This writer has repeatedly, in one particular especially. ' Throughout eastern North Carolina the needs of educa tion have long been felt and discussed, and through the in fluence -of the most thrifty and' progressive people this ques tion has been brought to the; front in nearly every town and many good country communl-j ties, good buildings have been' erected and competent teach ers secured. For awhile eve rything looks hopeful, but sooner or later selfishness in some form or other enters, the prospects are blighted; and; the teacher seeks a more genial clime, and the last end of that town is worse than the first. This selfishness, enters in different .forms. First, there is the penurious, class' who count the minutes lost on ac count of a rainy morning, and who consider a few paltry dol lars of : riiore value than the intellects of their boys and girls. These people ;seem to thir.k that a school teacher can live on air and water and al- s have ready money suffi t to aid every call of chari Financral difficulties soon and wreck invariably fol- Another class whom it be unjust to ignore is omposed of men who , dream that they were o rule, and failing in this because there are others whose rights must be respected, their next policy is to ruin, and in what the former class failed these finish. Very few towns or communities have escaped the destructive effects of these two species of selfishness. The results are too apparent to need mention. The communitv is di vided into factions, not one of which is able to , run a school within itself, and if a it is run it must be supported fy one of these factions alone, for under no circumstances will one fac tion patronize another. The bitterness engendered is' not a thing of a day or a year, but is as? lasting, yea, mors lasting than the people them selves, for the people inherit it and it passes from gen eration to generation. But this is not sufficient excuse for the youth of that , community to jgrow up in ignorance.- If the needed advantages cannot be had in home schools, they are sought in boarding schools, and money that might be spent in building up the home town or community must be sent abroad to help another. Then the town that is so fortunate as to have located within its lim its a school of sufficient worth and reputation as to command the patronage of these less for tunate sections should not be insensible -of its benefits. A school whose enrollment for a year numbers one hun dred and seventy-five or eighty, eighty or ninety of whom are from a distance, (boarders) should be the pride of any community, even an ungrateful one. - Let business men calculate and try to ascertain what good they individually and the com munity generally derive from such an enterprise.
