J toW"a little story at tha school ths other momlag ADOUt A man wnom i anew wncn i ^ ?m a little child. I heard that OBM In an enthusiastic speech he stated that "my father fought, bled, and died In the Revolutionary war then settled on Green Mountain, and Mined tea sous, and. that when I was born he raw the military Are sparkle In my eye and named mr p*.~/ I George Washington;." My father ' followed the Immortal Lee during 4 the Confederate war, and then eft?fc wards, because of .his admiration for , the splendid character and his lore . for the Southern chieftain, conferr ed his name upon his unworthy son. In sn ape of specialists, a genius S? large regarded-a? ond who accom plished one great achievement on Which he writes "excelsior." It if rare that we Sad a man who can ac compltsh a number of things, and write "Excelsior" on them all. Jack on was & genius in the modern In te^pretatlon, bo was the military ? man. Lee waa a genius In it's broader sejae. Re achieved many T- things. Of course, as a soldier, fame A paramount. His military skill is recognised the round world, but Lee was a patriot before he was t soldier, snd he was a soldier because he was a state man. born of a long line of ancestors who had themselves A been great military leaders. He had albo numbered among them a * great many brilliant state men. one of whom signed the declaration ol independence. His own father was the governor pf his native atnU. * They were leaders of the state and the one characteristic thatv loom! up perfeap* all along the Mne mor< than that of other* was that of loy alty to tb* state. Back In Bnglaot they were loyal to the Monarch and the grandfather of Lee was loyal whsn Char lee 1 was dethroned 1 loyal to Charles, and whan he wa In exile, and ofTored to entlirime hln ? as Monarch In Virginia. Ho wee*! soldier and bsck ot that he love< bis country, lie was a patriot.

They fonght not tor an imagfnary right, they fonght for a principle that had madsthe very foundation of the American constitution, and yet I would not pluck 1 one star from the crown of glorj of any of the Federal heroes. Another trait of Lee was his magnificent equipoise. He was payer AwowaW UMH s m.isd i? or of grumbling?tho saine beaut! fully poleed character in victory as in defeat, aad that beautifully poised ps tweeter alwayr turned to the right as natoraHy as a neodlo to the pole. Lee wjts no( reckless, but was always ready to boar his own breast to the foe, and receive the bullets if need be. He never knew tear, bat with it all h was humane. Standing on tho heighta of Fredericksburg he caw the tremendous struggle going oa, snd t?e gallant Pslhsm train!nir >i1m ,L? ? -* ?? . -v- tuv *?w or tremendous fire, and ho catd, "it U glorious to see such brgrery in one so young." While standing on the same heights and gazing on the bloody tragedy which was being enacted on the plains below, he said. "It Is well that It le, so awful, or we would become tco fond of It." He was always a Christian gentleman. I undertook to read Miss Johnson's book called "The Long Roll" and I would not attempt the second edition. Mtes Johnson 1* a' good writer, bat I cannot understand for my j life, why she should caricature the religion of Stonewall Jackson as she did, or Why she should ? represent the Confederate soldiers as being p profane set of ruffians, but nbe did. Lee could lead the charge to the rery jaws of death, and could take his plv? *be ragged soldiers, and fold his arms reverently over his breast and listen to the story of the Prince of Peace, ami devoutly worship In the great revival in whicfo hie men wore engaged. Ho wa? al- I | way* a Christian gentleman, and is I It not a great thing that throughout all that trying period, there never fell from hi3 lips one word,,'pr there wae-aaver one single act that would mar ((be gloyy of his fame fn coming ; y*ars. , Lee was confronted by a brave , and gallant foe for Grant wbb a , brave soldier, and a perfect gentlof man. and yet, it apeaks volumes for i Lee's military ability, that faoed by such a foe, and destitute of even I food and raiment, he prolonged the , struggle eo' lopg. At Petersburg 5 there is a lasting monument of the . Mavery of Lee and bis men in the I old Crater, when his depleted ranks wero .scattered thinly over a long . line of battle, the brave Grant, wit}] an army outnumbering three to on? ? and. taring all the munitions oi tNGT IIH1"v I* I IIII I 111 nr r [ I I" VU I ull | Uv Local Team will have u Rivals New Bern Team.

When he surrendered his sword at Apjtomattox he did so with the lustre of his fame undlmmed, and carried with him into Retirement the admiration of. the world. After the war. though having many flattering otters of positions with largo remunerative salaries, he turned from them al^to rehabilitate tffe old Washln^on "College, and :o stamp his own splendid' ldea-en young men of the service.

October 184h. 1870, wltneesed the close of bis early career. It will be rememberel that this was a time of great freshets in the mountains of Virginia. The windi blow, the storms came, the raint fell, until little creeks became mighty rivers and little streamlet! were converted Into mighty torrents It was during this period that the soldier died, while the clouds wept over hie bier, and the roaring watert sounded a salute around his grave. Among all the tributes that wen paid the great chieftain,- I quote but one: Ben Hill of Georgia, said: "Hi was a Caesar without his ambition without treacheiy, a coldler withou ! cruelty, and a Victim without mur j muring. He was a public office 1 without vices, a private citisen with qut wrong, a neighbor wlthbut re proach, a Christian without bypocrl sy, and a man without guilt. II was a Caesar without his amgUlon Frederick without his tyranny, Nt poleon without bis selfishness, am Washington without his reward. H was as obedient to authority as servant and royal inauthority aa j king. He was as gentle as a won an in life, puro and modest as a vli gin In thought.' watchful as u Rc man Vestal, submissive to law.-a Socrates, and grand In battle a Achilles."

I AYAFTEREOON ^ Occurred At Corner Market And Third Streets f *. 'H Mr. Stewart now in Hospital His Escape From More Serions Iujury was Miraculous. Yesterday afternon at tfce corner ol inira aoa mwibv birtwid biwuv j six o'clock there came near being a Berlout accident in consequence of a coilittlon between an automobile occupied by Messrs* Caleb Bell and Joe Satterthwaite -and Mr. H. T. Stewart, superintendent of the gin department of t&e Havens Oil Company, who was riding his bicycle on his way home. Mr. Btewart was considerably bruised on the right foot, left knee and right arm and breast. Why lie did not receive more serious injury is miraculous. He Is confined today at the Fowls M{>morf.-Jl Hospital suffering from his injury. It will in all probability be several days before he is able to resume his business duties. Mr. Stewart after his day's work was riding down Market street to his home, corner of^Market and Seventh streets and when near the corner or Third and Market he attempted to pass a cart at the corner. Mr. 8tewart being between the fchrt and curbing on the right, aide t>f the streot. Jr.. us he fitempted to cross the street he saw an automobile coming up Third street and seeing at once that If he attempted to cross the street he would be struck he decided quickly to turn up Third street. Mr. btewart states that the, chauffeur blew his horn when about ' thirty feet from him. The next thing Mr. Stewart knew the automobile struck the vi si Ma ; bicycle knocking htm under the auto. He thinks that he was drag- ^ . \ ged several feet before the machine could be stopped. Mr. Stewart says that the autpmoblie ran over his right foot, his left knee and then passed over his chest and right arm nut for hi a nrMAtiM rtf mind I In ducking IiIb head no doubt he would have received Injuries on his (ace and head. bones were # brokon and while suffering Intensely today ibis injuries'are not thought to be serious. After the collision Messrs. Bell and Satterthwalte stop( ped the machine and went to the , assistance of the injured man. He | was placed lu the auto# and carried ~j to his home where Dr. Jack Nicholson was called. He was subsequently carried to the hospital sphere | his wounds were dressed. Mr. Caleb Bell, who was in the machine f at tho time says that Mr. Stewart's * J? version of the accident Is practically correct, with the exception that the 1 wheels of the machine did not pasa 9 over him but he was struck by it. He bases his conclusion upon the fact that neither the bicycle nor machine were Sjijured. Mr. Uell says that they were driving at a f low rate of speed and when he saw Mr. Stewart and the position he was In iSe .realised, at once a ollision was about to occur so he grabbed the steering wheel from Mr. Satterthwalte and endeavored to, avert It. . . Mr. Stewart is about 55 years of age and a man of family. I WRIGHT'S SERVICE COST NO more than Inferior work. " BRIGHT JEWELS TO MEET, i.
