REVISING HISTORY.
PROFESSOR McMASTlTiS' NEW
WOKK SUBMITTED TO A
liRVNI) ARMY COM
MITTEE The South "Not Condoned"
Lee and His Soldiers
Treated as "Jnsur-
reel ion Isfs "
A Kt'jiort to He I'resenteil by tlia Commit
tee at tlie Coming National Kucamp
ment at Jluitalo ISooks Now Used in
tlie Schools Not Kegartletl as Satis
factory. Chicago: Prof. J. B. Mc Mast
ers, of tbe University of. Penii
S3Tlvania, held a conference here
the other day with Judge A. O.
Marsh, of Winchester, Ind., and
Rev. Dr. Duncan C. Miluer, of
Chicago, members of-a committee
appointed at the last encamp
ment of the Grand Army of the
Republic to secure a revision in
American school history. Judge
Marsh outlined the work of the
committee as follows:
"Our committee was appointed
soon after the annual encamp
ment of the Grand Army at St.
Paul. We were instructed to
look over the histories employed
in the public schools and coii
deoin those which magnified the
heroism of Southern soldiers and
placed them on the same footing
with the soldiers of the North.
Iu fact, it was the sense of the
army that no history used in
public schools should treat of
the Southern soldiers as other
than insurrectionists, who sought
to destroy this government.
"We Investigated a number of
books used iu the public schools,
and those which- we did not con
demn directly we rejected as
unsatisfactory. We met at
Cleveland, and there dec:dd
what kind of history the school
children ough, to have in order
to get the right view of the
issues involved iu the civil war.
Professor McMasters has under
taken to write such a work. We
have met hiua here iu order to
see if his work mets our views,
but I am not in" a position to say
whether or not it will be accep
ted until I have communicated
with the whole committee
'If favorable consideration is
given the work, the army will
take every step L-ecessary at its
next encampment. Its influence
is such as to warrant the adop
tion of such a history in most of
the schools. Theie are some
States which are unable to ac
cept it. Indiana, for example, has
a contract which hinds it for
four years to the Montgomery
history. We secured a revision of
that during .ur last meetiug in
Cleveland. Professor McMasters
is endeavoring to have his his
tory correspond with our views."
Professor McMasters ex
plained the scope of his work by
saying that unlike most school
histories it dwells but briefly on
colonial or revolutionary events
and treats at length of the civil
war. "I want it understood be
yond doubt that in this history
the great Southern geuerals in
the civil war are not condoned,"
he said. "General Lae, for ex
ample, was a man of education
and came frotr West Point. This
militaiy school is established to
make soldiers who will stand by
the government. If General Lee
wished to destroy the govern
ment he had no business in West
Point. I admit all the good things
sa;d of him personally, but
he must be regarded as a man
who sought to disrupt the gov
ernment and countenance States
in withdrawing from the Union.
No matter how great his gen
eralship or his heroism, they
should not blind the historian to
the facts. The treatment of the
questions which preceded and
brought about the civil war is
sustained in the same manner.
The history is brought up to the
inauguration of President Mc
Kinley. I simply relate the facts
and refrain from any comment,

ing any "administration cf re

Mrs Tunper's Story About Colo
nel Battcrsby's Ticture of the
Event is the Basis of a Libel
Suit.
New York, April 16. A story
written by Edith Sessions Tup
per for Once a Week s the basis
of a suit for $45,000 damages for
libel, which was called in Part
IX. of the Supreme Court to
day. Tho complainant is Colonel
Teaipus Battersby. The defend
ant is Peter Fenelon Collier.pro
prietor of the periodical.
It is said that Colonel Bat
tersby, who is a West Point
graduate, painted a picture of
'Lee's Surrender" which was
offered for exhibition in the Nsw
York display at the World's Pair.
Judge W. L. Sessions, father of
Edith Sessions Tupper, was one
of the committee appointed to
select the works of art for the
exhibition.
Mrs. Tuppar accompanied, her
father when he went to see Cul
onel Battersby's painting in the
latter's studio.
The painting was refused.
Later, it is said, Mrs. Tupper
wrote a Christmas story, with
the Colonel's rejected picture as
her text, and. it is alleged, used
incidents in the Colonel's life
which he objected to having
made public. The Colonel's name
was not used, but the studio was
described in detail.
Colonel Battersby, iu his com
plaint, alleges that he has been
engaged in the painting for six
years, and that it is still incom
plete. J. Gotthief, as counsel for Col
onel Battersby, denies that the
picture was rejected. He says
the story was published before
the paintmg was finished, and
because of its publication a num
ber of the Colonel's friends who
had contributed material for the
picture withdrew their support.
Counsel announced that ar
rangements had been made to
have the painting hung in a con
venient place for the inspection
of experts and the jury, should
the latter desire to see it.
The day was spsnt in hearing
the testimony of General Sevvell,
a United States government en
gineer, and the reading of Mrs.
T apper's story to the jury.

Dispensary Constables.
Charleston, S. C, April 16.
Dispensary constables, today
seized 68 cases of fine liquors con
signed to John C. Simonds, one of
the foremost men of the city. The
liquor came from a San Francisco
house and was marked for personal
use. A drummer of the house
was recently in Charleston and a
number of the leading people
clubbed together and made the
purchase. It was all consigned
to Mr. Simonds for convenience in
distribution. These facts are well
known and if the constables per

matter will find its way into the

vA we
took its flight into the Kingdom
prepared for the children of God.
A great light has gone out from
our midst; a noble heart is stilled.
How true it is that . "death loves
a shining mark."
It was our good pleasure to see
much of him, having known him
from our earliest boyhood, and
now that he is gone we feel that
we have sustained a great per
sonal loss.
He was a Godly man and one
possessed of many beautiful and
admirable traits of character, and
although his death was not un
expected, it was a great shock to
his friends and has cast a gloom
over oar community.
He Avas about 05 years of age
and was an upright, honest and
unassuming man in all the walks
of life. He hated anything that
would tend to lower or degrade
humanity.
Sometime during the year 1875
he connected himself with the
Primitive Baptist church at Me
morial, soon after which he felt
called to preach, and in the year
187G he was ordained to the min
istry, in which, capacity he served
faithful unto death.
He was a great Bible reader
ind had acquired much Scriptu
ral knowledge. He loved to con
verse on the subject of religion,
11 id would often detain the hands
who worked for him in explain
ing to them the Scripture.
As a preacher he was sound
and logical and stood in the front
rank. He always expounded the
Scripture as he understood it and
never indulged in criticising any
other creed or denomination.
In the death of Elder Edger-
ton Wayne county has lost one of
its best citizens and the Primitive
Baptist church one of its greatest
lights.
He was ever true to his fellow-
man, true to his Church, and true
to his God.
The funeral was preached Sun
day evening, April 10th, at 1
o'clock, by Elder James S. Wood
ard, of Wilson, and was attended
by a large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends from differ
ent sections of the country, which
attested eloquently the esteem in
Avhich the deceased was held.
His remains were taken to the
Ay cock burying ground, near Fre
mont, and laid to rest . The fu
neral procession to the grave was
the largest, perhaps, ever seen in
this section, it being more than a
mile long.
The floral tributes at the grave
were beautiful -and profuse.
He leaves a wife and one
daughter and a wide circle of rel
atives and friends to mourn bis
loss, but they mourn not as those
who have no hope.

Adams KertTers His Decision pus
taiuing the Incumbents.
The public throughout the
State are familiar with the fac-ls
in regard to the much mooted
asylum cases. The late General
Assembly, constituted, in the
majority, of Republicans and
Populists, working together un
der their fusion combine, at
tempted by "heroic" legislation
to usurp t hese public institutions,
overthrow the vested rights of
their incumbent officers, and
make places thereby lor adher
ents of the"RtPoplican"eombine.
When the act of the General
Assembly in this regard was pro
mulgated it was so palpably un
just in principle aud subversive
in effect, and so bunglingly put
together, that. very fair minded
man stood aghast at its high
hand invasion of vested rights,
regardless of law, and yet took
comfort in the belief that it could
not stand the test of law as in
terpreted by the courts of the
State.
The ineumhent officers of the
several asylums of the State re
(used to turn over these institu
tions when their would be sues
cessors, elected under the new
act, made demand upon them for
the same.
Counsel, in the meantime, hav
iug been employed on both sides,
a case was made up by agree
ment, and the same was submits
ted to Judge Adams, cf the Su
perior Court bench, under argu
ment, at Raleigh, last week, lie
reserved his decision and took
the case under consideration,
until this morning, when he gave
out his decision as indicated
above.
The decision of Judge Adams
is brief and pointed, and yet it
embraces the entire case, lie
substantially holds that tho offi
ces of Director and Superintend
ent were not abolished by the
act of thu late Legislature, and,
that the act was substantially a
reenactment of the former law
and, entertaining this opinion,
he holds that the relators (who
are the trustees appointee under
the recent act and the Principals
attempted to be elected by them)
are not entitled to to the offices
they claim.

The Strength of Nature.
According to the ancient mythology, when
Hercules wrestled with Antxus, fvery time
he was thrown ,,r, he jumped up aeain
stronger than I ) ever, gaining- fresh
power from I every contact with the
arth. Hercu- les conquered him at
last only by holding
him in the air away
from the source of his
strength, until he grew
weaker and weaker
and finally be
came exhausted.
Autteus is a
perfect symbol
of mankind. Na
ture is the real
source of health
and vigor. The
closer we keep to
Nature's laws the
stronger and
healthier we
grow. When we
gt away from
them we are sure
to be overcome
by weakness

of a man the
only remedy to really cure him must be a
natural remedy. It must work according to
natural laws and bring him right in touch
svith Nature. Any unnatural stimulus or
mere temporary ' appetizer " does no per
manent good to a person who is debilitated
and " run-down. "
In these conditions the most perfect, nat
ural strength builder is Dr. Pierce's Cioldta
Medical Discovery. It acts directly upon
the natural nutritive processes, and creates
solid, permanent strength and vital force in
the same way that Nature creates them.
It capacitates the stomach and liver to
vitalize the circulation and feed the nerve
centres with pure, healthy blood. This is
exactly Nature's way of curing nervous ex
haustion, debility, insomnia, and neuralgia.
During the past 30 years. Dr. Pierce's
medicines have become recognized standard
remedies throughout the world. His
"Pleasant Pellet's" are a perfect aud per
manent cure for constipation.
Sister Kliza I., de Falcon, of Corpus Cliristi,

Spiritual and JMaleiial Signilicaiicc of tho
Day for Goitlnboru.
Daily Argus last Saturday.
The watch-word on the towers
upon tomorrow's sunrise is
"Resurrexit." "Ho has Risen."
In the Christian world it is corns
memorated that Christ, after
enduring the last tortures ot the
Divine self-sacrifice, severed
Himself from the humanity vol
untarily assumed that the God
head should be amenable to suf
fering, and, breaking the grave,
arose to Heaven while the hosts
on high were crying Allelujah
and angels and archangeis join
ed in the chorus of gladness,
that Adam and Eve's disobedience
and its awful consequences upon
their descendants had been lifted.
The Resurrection is the key-1
sione to Christianity. It marks
the era, when men cease to re
gard the Diyinity as an angry
power, which had to be appeased,
and commenced to look upon
Him as a father, a brother, a
friend.
From pagan time immemorial
the season, so closely allied with
tho budding of the fruit trees and
the opening of flower blossoms,
cvheu the young lamb trots by
the side of its mother and the
field and forest teem with love
making and nest-building, has
been given over to festivity. The
dead world seems at this time to
taiie on new life and to feel tha
active throb of desire to do and
be something in the work of the
universe. Christianity stepped in
nearly 1900 years ago and added
to the natural joy of early spring
the pleasure of doinsr for othprs.
of doing for right's sake, tha
pleasures of sacrifice for the gen
eral good, of which Christ had
given such a .shining example.
Goldsboro has especial reason
to ring all her Easter bells most
merrily tosmorrow. Her people
are a Christian people. They
have passed through hard times
and came out victorious. They
