My days pass pleasantly away ; : My nights are blessed with sweetest sleep; I feel no symptoms of decay, I have no cause to mourn or weep My foes are impotent and shy,. My friends are neither fajse nor cold ; And yet of late I often sigh I'm growing old! My growing talk of olden times, My growing thirst for early news, My growing apathy to rhymes, My growing love of easy shoes, , My growing hate of crowds and noise, My growing fear of taking cold, , All whisper in the plainest voice I'm growing old! I'm growing fonder of, my staff, -I'm growing dimmer in the eyes, I'm growing fainter in my laugh, ( f I'm growing deeper in my sighs, I'm growing careless in my dress, I'm growing frugal of my gold, I'm growing wise, I'm yes I'm growing old ! I see it in my changing taste, I see it in my changing hair, I see it in my growing waist, I see it in my growing heir. A thousand si&rhs proclaim the truth, As plain as truth was ever told, That even in my vaunted youth I'm growing old ! Ah, me ! my very laurels breathe The tale in my reluctant ears, And, every boon the hours bequeath But makes me debtor to the years ! E'en flattery's honeyed words declare The secret she would fain withhold. And tel Is me in ' 'How young you are !" I'm growing old ! Thanks for the years, whose rapid flight My sombre muse too sadly sings; Thanks for the gleams of golden light That tint the darkness of their wings, The light that beams from out tire sky, Those heavenly mansions to imfdld, Where all are blest, and none maysigh, I'm growing old !

The Most Infamous That Ever Appeared in Print in This State. he Alarmed Politicians .are Trying to Break the Force of it by Resort ing to Various Dodges, But They are Too Thin. The infamous assault on the white women of this State which appeared on the 18th of August in. hte Daily Recordy the negro paper published in this city, has aroused a storm of in dignation from one end of the State to the other. Wo have received so many requests for copies of the Star containing this article that we here with reproduce it in full, the accu racy of which is certified to by Col. Jo,hn D. Taylor, derk of the Supe rior Court of New Hanover county, and by a number of our well-known business men. The article is headed: Mrs. Pelton's Speech. "A Mrs. Felton, from Georgiafcmakes sneech before the Agricultural So ciety at Tybee, Ga., in which she advo cates lynching as an extreme measure. This woman makes a strong plea for wamanhood, and if the alleged crimes or rape were half so frequent as is oft- times reported, her plea would be wor thy of consideration. "Mrs. Felton, DJce many otner so- called Christians, loses sight of the basic principle of the religion of Christ in ner piea ior one ciass oi people as against another. If a missionary spirit is essential for the uplifting of the poor white girls, why is it? The The morals of the poor white people are on a par with their colored neigh bors of like conditions, and if any one doubts the statement let him visit among them. The whole lump needs to be leavened by those who profess so much religion and showing them that the preservation of virtue is an essen tial for the life ot any people. Mrs, r elton begins well for she ad mits that education will better protect the girls on the farm from the' as saulter. This We admit and it should not be confined to the white any more than to the colored girls. The papers are filled often with reports of rapes of white women, and the subsequent vnchmg of tne alleged rapists. The editors pour forth volleys of aspersions against all negroes because of the few who may be guilty. If the papers and speakers of the other race would con demn the commission of crime because it is crime and not try to make it ap pear that the negroes were the only criminals, they would find their strongest allies in the intelligent ne groes themselves, and together tbe whites and blacks would root the evil out of both races. We suggest that the whites guard their women more closely, as Mrs. Felton says, thus giv ing no opportunity for the human fiend, be he white or black. Yon leave your goods out of doors and then complain because they are taken away. Poor white men are careless irltne matter of protecting their women, especially on farms. They are care less of their conduct toward them and our experience among poor white people in the country teaches us that the women of that race are not any more par ticular in the matter of clandestine meet ings with colored men, than are the white men with colored women. Meet ings of this kind go on for some time until the woman's infatuation or the man's boldness, bring attention to them and the man is lynched for rape. Every negro lynched is called a 'big, burly, black brute,' when in fact many of those who have thus been dealt with had white men for their fathers, and were not only not black' and 'burly' but were sufficiently attractive for white girls of culture and refinement to fall in love with them as is well known to all." Mrs. Felton must begin at the fountain head if she wishes to purify the stream. "Teach your men purity. Let virtue be something more than an excuse for them to intimidate and torture a help less people. Tell your men that it is no worse for a black man to be inti mate with a white woman, than for a white man to be intimate with a colored woman. You set yourselves down as a lot of carping hypocrites-, in fact you cry aloud for the virtue of your women while you seek to destroy the morality of ours. Don t think ever that your women will remain pure while you are debauching ours. You .sow the seed the harvest will come indue time." 'y THE AFFIDAVIT OF THE CLERK. a nm i An enort nas oeen made by some of the politicians to fool the people by representipg that this slander was a Democratic trick br was gar bled, but tne following affidavit from the CleTk of the Superior Court settles the question as to its accuracy: North Carolina, ' New Hanover County I, John D.

He j made a speech to the assembled in- j fantrymen, reviewed the cavalrymen, i expressed his opinion of tne camp to the reporters and issued an order di- recting the regulars to return to their stations east of the Mississippi. After greetings and introductions on the railway platform, the President took General Wheeler's arm and went to a carriage. (Jolonei Theodore Roosevelt, of the Rough Riders, was among tne group of horsemen near by. Mr. .McKinley saw him and got out of the carriage to speak to him. Colo nel Roosevelt hastily dismounted and tussled with a gauntlet for fifteen seconds, so that ungloved he might shake hands. The column of car riages wound up a hill, escorted by the Third cavalry regiment and the mounted band of the Sixth cavalry. The party paused a moment on the hill and the President looked out on the' wide, undulating cape, water bound on either side and whitened on the levels and hill tops by the tents of 18,000 men, laid out in geometric lines. Mr. McKinley drove to General ShafterV tent in the detention camp. The general, who was flushed and weak from a mild case of malarial fever, was in full uniform, sitting in a chair at the door of the tent He tried to rise, but Mr. McKinley said:" "Stay where you are, General. You are en titled to rest" The President congratulated Gen eral Shafter on the Santiago campaign and after a few minutes rest, pro ceeded to the general hospital. The soldiers recently arrived on transports and detained in the detention section of the camp lined up irregularly on each side of the road and cheered. Mr. McKinley took off his straw hat then, and scarcely put it on again for more than a minute. Miss Wheeler, a daughter of the general, happened to be in the first row of the hospital tents and she showed the President through her division. General Wheeler announced in each ward: "Boys, the President has come to see you," or "Soldiers, the President of the United States." Some of the soldiers slept on, un conscious, some listlessly raised upon their elbows, others feebly clapped their hands. Mr. McKinley gently shook hands with many, and at every cot he paused an instant, and if he saw the sick man looking at him he bowed in a direct and personal way. When seemingly all the wards of the general hospital had been gone throueh and the President was about to get into a carriage, Attorney Gen eral Griggs detained him. "Miss Wheeler has told me," said he, "of a Lieutenant Prado, who is in a tent back here by himself, and he is in a dying condition. He has asked about your coming, and Miss Wheeler has promised that you shall see him." "Certainly. Let us go to him," Mr. McKinley said: The others of the party discreetly re mained outside the tent. The Presi dent reappeared with the nurse a minute or two later. His eyes were moist and downcast As it was inconvenient to go back to the doors of the long tents, Mr. Mc Kinley said he would go through the frame work at the ends of the tents and jump down. The general hospital is on a slope, and the height of the floors from the ground increased with each ward. At ward F the jump was nearly six feet Mr. McKinley took it. Vice President Hobart, who is a bulky man, hesitated. "I balk here. Can't go over this hurdle," he said. Neither would Secretary Alger, who had taken all the jumps until then. But General Wheeler sprang lightly down. To-day was hot, Mr. McKinley wore a black frock coat with a waistcoat. The per spiration streamed from his face. A glass of Apolinaris was offered to him but he declined to drink, saying that he was too warm. He proceeded to Jhe infantry plain, as it is called. The men of the JNinth Massachusetts, the First Illinois, the Eighth Ohio, the Thirteenth, Twenty-first Twenty second and Tenth regular infantry were assembled without arms. About 5,000 men stood in close order. General Wheeler Said: "The President of our great country has come here to greet the soldiers that marched so gallantly up San Juan hill on July 1st. He comes here to ex press tne nation's thanks to these brave men. I wish, to tell you that when the president sent me here two weeks ago to command this camp he enjoined me in the mbst emphatic language that I should, with out regard to expense, exercise any and everywauthority .necessary to make comfortable this body of brave men who by their courage have raised this 'republic to the highest position among the great nations df the earth. I have the honor and pleasure"of in troducing to you, the President of the United States. President McKinley Said. General Wheeler, soldiers of Camp Wickoff, soldiers of the Tifth Army Corps I trust that you will put your hats on I am glad to meet you. I am honored to stand before you to day. 1 bring you tne gratitude of tmmation to whose history you have added by your yalov a new and glorious page. You have come home after two months of severe campaigning which has embraced assault, siege and bat tie, so brilliant in achievement, so far reaching in results, as to command the unstinted praise of all your coun- j trymen. You had tne Drum oi Dauie on land. You bore yourselves with supreme courage, and your personal bravery, never before excelled anywhere, has won the admiration of your fellow citizens and the genuine respect of all mankind, while your endurance" under peculiar trial and suffering has given added mean ing to your heroism. Your exertions made easy the conquest of Porto Rico under the resistless army commanded by Major General Milesand behind vou, to proceed at. a moflrent's tum mons, were more than two hundred thousand of your comrades, ready to support you, disappointed that the op portunity which you had didnot come to them, yet filled with pride at your wei-earned fame and rejoicing upo your signal victories. You were on the line of battle; they, no less than you, were in the line of duty. All have served their country fn its need, all will serve it so long as they may be required, and all will forever have the thanks and re: gard of a grateful people. "We cannot bid you welcome . here to-day without our hearts going jout to the heroes of Manila, on sea and on land, whose services and sacrifices whose courage and, constancy in that far distant field of operations have never been surpassed by any soldiers or sailors tne world over. To the army and the navy, to the marines to the regulars, to the volunteers, and to that Provi dence which has watched over them all, the nation to-day is full of thanks giving and praise. The brave officers and men who fell in battle and those who have died from exposure and sickness will live in- immortal story and their memories will be perpetua ted in the hearts and the histories of a generous people, and those who are dependent upon them will not be neglected by tne government for which thev so freely sacrificed their livw." ' The soldiers cheered many times. ' The part Qf the field where the Eighth Ohio stood, the regiment which is . sometimes called "tne jrresiueni s ' own" was particularly noisy The I party then went to the detention hos itai The .rrave-vard in which sixty or seventy plain new wooden crosses stood was near the road on the left President solemnly raised his hat In the Detention Hospital. I Mr. McKinley went through all the i wards of the detention hospital in tne ! same careful way in which he had !j gone through those of the general I hospital. When he came to tne last i ward. MaiorR. T. Ebert said: "This is a dangerous ward," and turning to l Secretary of War Alger, inquired: ' "Do you think the President had bet- , tor go in nere? Mr. McKinley, without waiting to hear what General Alger's reply wonld be, started into the ward, (ieneral Alger and the others of the party re mained outside. The Presidential party then drove through the lines of cavalry drawn up On either side of the road. Among them were the Rough Riders, the Second, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth and First regular cavalry. The Third regulars were still acting as the President's escort Mr. McKinley then drove to General Wheeler's headquarters and sat under the shade of a tent fly for a while. Secretary Alger and General Wheeler were with him. The President and those with him took lunch with General Wheeler and his staff. After lunch the President. Mr. Alger. General Wheeler and Colonel Hard, of the Eighth Ohio, were photographed in a group. The President issued an order di recting that the regular troops at Camp Wikoff whose posts are east of the Mississippi shoum return with the least possible delay to their posts.
