C.) State contains a striking article on the Booth's abiding love of tbe "loet cause." It truly says Ibat there ig nothing like it in thatais toty of the world, and there"!- none outside of tbe sublime history of Chris tian devotion, Here are some extracts from onr contemporary's artiole which are well worth thinking- ovei; Do we ever stop to wonder bow it is that here and now, 38 years after tbe confederacy's fall, we are honoring tbe confederacy's soldiers and cherishing the confederacy's rnemoriebl How we Btop lu the rush of trade and business and a whole city, yea a whole state, devotes itself to a commemoration of cause that failedl flow for weeks there have been men and women in this busy oity of Colombia laying aside every day their own affairs in order that the veterans of a defeated army may spend here three days in comfort and in pleasure t Do we ever wonder bow it can be that today and tomorrow the people of all tbis stirring, progres sive southland will tarn away from all olher things and strew flowers upon tbe graves of tbe gray dead, paying tribute to their heroism and honoring their surviving oomradetT There is no lovelier passage in all English literature ihan that inseription on yonder monument in the capitol grounds. We love to reoall it, and would have its words and its meamog impressed upon every child of Carolina. l or it telle that this monument, ereot ed by tbe women of the state, stands as a memorial to those sons of the Palmetto, "who,' true to the Instincts of their birth, faithful to the teachings' of their fathers, constant in their love for state, died in the performance of their duty; wbo have glorified a fallen cause by tbe simple manhood of their lives, tbe patient enduranoe of saner ing, and the heroism of death, and who, in the dark hours of imprisonment, in the hopelessness of the hospital, in the short, sbarp agony ot tbe Held, found support and oonsolation in tbe belief tnat at home they would not be forgot ten." cuRRBHT con tie nr. Do not fail to read the artiole on Pennsylvania. Corrupt officials ever fear an nnmozzled press. e e e The Durham Sun well says: "Tbey are preaching harmony who preached Demooratio discord io 1896 " see General Miles seems to be a thorn in the flesh of the administration. A Washington telegram says that Secre tary of War Root has reoeived a letter from Lientenan'.-Qeneral Miles asking what portions of his report on the Philippines were given to the press, by whom made public and to whom fur nished. Tbe Secretary, it is added, oalled in tbe effioers wbo furnished the reports and gave directions to them to prepare a statement showing what bad been done. It bad been charged that all of General Miles's report was not furnished to the press by the War De partment. a The latest field of gold mining is Egypt, whioh a reoent writer says was the California ot the ancients. Eiplo rations by tbe English have of late been constantly revealing the sites of old mines throughout the desert, the ruins of the mining villages and guard towers being located with certainty. A large company bas just been formed in Eng land for re-opening and working the mines east ot the Nile, between tbe 1st and 2nd oataraots. With tbis new source of the gold supply in sight, and the rapid appreciation of tbe value (in terms of gold) of silver already achiev ed, our goldbng friends are likely to find themselves in a quandary. They must either accept the situation, with all its attendant prosperity resulting from the cheapening of money, and oonfess that the Demooratio money ank was honest and right; or, they must adhere to tbe Republican Cleve land doctrine tbat abundant money is dishonest and wrong, and advooate tbe demonetization of gold as well as sil ver. The Hist Memorial Day at Raw Bsri. The New Bern Journal of Tuesday last contains an account ot the cele bration there, the day before, ot Memo rial Day. In the oourseof the proceed ings, our old friend, Mr. W. H. Oliver, gave some interesting facts concerning the celebration ot the first memorial day in New Bern, tnirlj-seven years .a 1 ago. Bays tne wonrnai: William H. Oliver spok as follows: On the lO.h of May, 1866, under the auspices ot tbe Ladies' Memorial Abbo station, which was presided over by Mrs. IS. a. Daves, we aseemoiea in mis sacred spot to witness the laying ot the cornerstone of a monument to be erect ed to the memory ot ' Our Dead." Beneath and around tbe monument now lie the remain cf a large number of Confederate i Bluets and soldiers, who were killed in battle, who died in the hospital, wbo have unoe died. To them : "The bugle call, the battle ball Will never again arouse them; Tbey fought so well, Tbey served so well, Their furloughs last forever. Cover their graves with choicest flowers, The rarest, tie purest that grow." I will memtioa an inoidenti the mill tary offioer, who was iu eommand here at tbat time, Issued an Order that no Cnnfednrata flasr should be oarried in our prooesBiou.

These Questions were put to I lJ ."J l. iu. D-UII.L uiovoiautt jraswiuajr vt ihb t uuiiaifpte i nose ouropuuuoui, dhku vou ue a uauuiuttio lur tut nominatiOni' m it,, ,.nnt:K ti t ..ir.hr' " r. ' T.r; n would you accept ill" 1 cannot answer tnat question at this time, I should only be inviting tbe censure of tbe people." Charles Foster, ex-Governor of Ohio, is bere with tbe Cleveland party, though a Kepublioan. roster is in tbe conn deuce of Cleveland. When asked if Cleveland was a oandidate, be said: "Though unauthorized to speak, 1 know Cleveland does not want the nomination but would take it as a duty to bis party. He possesses tbe confi dence of the people and deserves tbe nomination." Here is tbe leading editorial in the Monday's issue of the New York Sun, the most rabid of the stalwart Republi can organi: About tbe political weight ot Mr, Cleveland's present candidacy for President there is, as is natural, a con flict of views. Of tbe significance of it without the field of conflict there can be no question or disagreement. The call for Cleveland is a notification to the country of the kind ot President that is wanted, since certain qualities now tor good and .substantial reasons specially desirable in tbe executive are nnnnlarlo hallnirari tn h fnnnrl in tho iiniv livinc- ex-President fh fnflef anan-'l tfty and bigber quality loan in any contemporary public man. Cleveland is wanted beoanse he is looked upon as governed by an impartial and imper turbable devotion to justioe, as the law defines it, between man and man, and as tbis Qovernment is supposed to pre serve and administer it. Most Ameri oan people believe tbat Cleveland as f resident could not be run away witb by any organized group of voters against whom any State in tbe Union bad felt tbe necessity ot passing a law to protect its own dignity and its own militia. Witb such Cbiof Magistrates goes that general confidence in tqaal rights which is inseparable trom na tional health and happiness. If the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt should con scientiously n fleet upon the peculiar character of the phase of Ulevelaodism that is now flourishing, the result m'gbt in tbe highest and wisest degree be benefioial. A Loudon cablegram Yoik Herald says: to the New United States Senator N. B. Soott, ftlepublioac of West Virginia, wbo ar lived at the Carlton Hotel yesterday after several months' travel on the Continent, iB much interested in the cablegrams from New York describing tbe demand for Mr. Cleveland as tbe Demooratio nominee for president. "Mr. Cleveland." said Senator Soott, "is tbe strongest and would prove the most formidable oandidate the Demo cratic party oould nominate. He has the oocudenoe ot tbe greater portion ot bis oartv. Bemdes. be enjoys tbe re- sp-ct and confidence ot tnat large body of independent voters wno can not be olassed as rook ribDea parti sans. "On tbe monev Question Mr. Cleve land, as every one kuowe, is as sound as anv man in either party. He has shown by bis words and actions, DOta bly when be sent Federal troops to Cbicago at tbe time of tbe riots there, tbat be will support the judioiary and Federal courts." BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARK NOT FOR CLEVELAND. The Baltimore Sun's Chioago oorres pondent sends that paper the follow ing A poll of Democratic National Com mitteemen ou Mr. Cleveland as the possible nominee for the presidency next year shows the following results: Number in favor, 6 Opposed, 17 Non-committal, 8 a a The following opinion gives a repre sentative view of those in opposition "To nominate Mr. Cleveland in 1904 would bn to pot the club of Hercules in tbe bands of tbe Republicans." Clatk Howell, National Committeeman from Georgia Tbe 28 National Committeemen were interviewed by correspondents for the Chioago Record-Herald. Tbe three wbo believe tbat Mr. Cleveland would make as strong a oandidate as tbe Demooratio party oould propose are, besidea Mr. Mack, John S. M. Neill, of Montana, and James B. Eaton, of North Dukota. Mr. Maok, as reported in onr die patohes last evening, denies that he favors Cleveland. Observer J Those opposed to him are : Thomas Qahan, Illinois; D. C.

Tbe same correspondent gives, among others, the following reports of tbe opinions exposed by the committeemen named : "The suggestion of Mr. Cleveland for tbe Presidency is absurd," said Utav Woodson, committeeman from Kentucky. "I know of no real Demo oratin Kentucky who entertains the idea seriously. Buould Mr. uieveianu bv some miraculous process get the Demooratio nomination, it would place this State safely In the Republican oolnmn." Committeeman R. M. Johnston, ot Texas, said t "It there has been an; considerable change in tho Booth's attitude, politi- eally toward Mr. Cleveland no evidence of tbe fact is yet manifest to tbe naked eye. Tbe South will stand loyally by "V"' er he believed in silver eoinaee or not, but it is folly to suggest that it will sooept tbe leadership ot a bolter." n.n;i ir r.mrn n Mitiioan """''"'I " """I mie inis terse. answer : "I do not think there s any possi. t u. nu nrf'i ha no nnm nalArl in a Dfmnnratift nnnvantion." Thomas D. O'Brien, of Minnesota, said : "Mr. Cleveland is not available. Be is a party to a bitter faotional ngnt within the ranks of the organization, and is therefore not to be considered by those wbo seek party success." A Bimarkab'.e Opinion ol Isrtb Caroline Atlanta Journal There was wild excitement in North Carolina over the report that 400 peo ple bad been cast ashore by tbe storm. ; However, it turned out tbat tbey baa : no money. One of ''lbs Ditperstd Abiaai " The Birmingham (Alabama) Age- Herald, of May 31, mentions the pres enoe in that city of Mrs, Henri Weber, of Nashville, Tennessee. Mrs. Weber, wbo resided for some time in Fayette ville in ber young womanhood, was a daughter of tbe late Major Carleton Walker, of Rocky Point, near Wil mington, but has been a resident since 1855 of Nashville. Tbe Age-Herald says : Mrs. Henri Weber, of Nashville, one Ot the mOBt Sifted 01 bOUIDBm Women, has 'Been'" spending' several, weeks in Birmingham witb relatives. Mrs. Weber is best known to tbe literary world by ber poems whioh are considered gems in thought and ezpres eion. Tbey have appeared in the newspapers and magazines, and ber patriotic verses have been frtqaently read t u publio occasions. Une ot tbe most beautiful poems ever written in memory of tbe confederate dead was read some years ago on Memorial Day in Nashville, and this memorial season seems to increase tbe devotion of tbe South to the heroes and adds to tbe deathless beauty of every word written in their memory. Mrs. Weber's poem follows: Not tbe vanquished, no ! tor viotors, Bring we laurel wreaths today; Not tbe living, but for deathless Heroes wbo have passed away. Hail I My brothers, marching onward, Onward; on tbe other shore; Hay ye soale tbe walls of Heaven, Viotors then, forever mort ! List I your deeds are not forgotten; Age and youth meet here today. Some to bring you wreaths of roses, Some to bring you crowns of bay. Laurel wreaths from distant mountain Waving palms from ocean's shore, Emblems meet, we bring for heroes; Heroes now, and evermore. True, ye heard no shouts of triumph, Only wailing, only woe; As ye watched tbe blood red sun set, But we see tbe af tei-glow. And, my brothers, now we hail you, Marching on tbe other sbore; May ye scale the walls of Heaven I Victors! Viotors! Evermore! APRIL. lona Uerring, in Boston Globe.

Governor Pennypaoker has signed the Pennsylvania press muzzier bill, tbe otjeot of which is to prevent the exposure ot corruption in that most cor'upt nl Amerioan commonwealths. -Tue bill was signed for tw reasons, one of which Mr. Peonypatkr states wiib charming frankoess firstly the bill was jtmmed through by the same gang that ntmed and elected Penny packer to iflhe; secondly Penny packer has a personal grievance against the newspapers bcoanse Ihey ridiculed and oaricatured bim in his campaign for tbe Governorship. Bow hard put to it he was to find tny justification for attaching bis sig nature to the bill, may be interred from his (statement that, "within the last quarter of a century, two Presidents ot tbe United tttates uave been murdered n,i in each instance the cause was el8jy traoeablo to inflammatory and careless newspaper utterance." There iia't an intelligent man in tbe country wbo does not know that tbat statement is a burn, bold and utqaalified false hood. Neither io tbe case of Garfield nor McKiDley wasanyoonnectiou what soever shown between newspaper utterances and tbe crime. Garfield was assassinated by a disappointed and half-demented effice-setker, and Mo Kinloy was asiBsinated by an avowed anarobist wbo deolared, after bisarrest, tbat he was incited to the crime by tbe teachings of Evma Goldman, Gov ernor rennypackir has therefore merely ar-oamplithed bis own grots self-stultification The ou'oorup of this attempt to stifla the eipodure of corruption in rebusyi vacia, may we 1 be watcned witu in terest and oobceru by tbe ooontry at arge. Io our judgment Pennsylvania today bas reached a osrtain stage io its development toward which every State in tbe buiou is tending, and wniob every State will ultimately reacu it nothing interposes to prevent it. In other words Pennsylvania constitutes a problem tbat citizens of olher States may well consider closelv. Liet us note some of its salient phases. Pennsylvania is a very rich common wealth. It is a commonwealth of large oities, diversified indnstries, vast mines, great corporations and a numerous and intelligent population. It is now perhaps (be grtatest State in tbe Union, so far as material development is concerned. It is iu that respect tbi measurahle realization of an ideal to ward which all the States are striving. And yet, Pennsylvania submits to tbe domination of a ol que of tbe most unblushing corruption, tbongb tbere were originally do peculiar conditions tbat would bave promised sucb subser viency in this respect, renneylt anians measure up well with American citizens, anywbere, in cbaracter, intelligence and patriotism. How then bas tbi' great State fallen upon suob evil daysf The influences and faotors tbat have woikad the shame and humiliation of Pennsylvania are about as followf: 1 The State political machine head ed by Matthew Stanley Qaay and con trolled by tbe Pennsylvania Itailroad and allied corporations. 2. Local machines in Philadelphia Pittsburg and other oities, composed of uosorupulous politicians; franchise thieves wbo plunder tbe oities of Iran chises worth untold millions; grafters wbo oontrol municipal oontraots and rob tbe city treasury; and all that un derworld of politics repeaters, ballot box stoffers, ooloniz-rs, etc. 3 A material prosperity that bas rendered the people more or less iodif ferent to their civic duties, and tbe assured and long continued control of the State by one political party. These are the iifluences, active or passive, that bave contrived or per mitted the besmirching of every de partment of government in Pennsyl vania the Supreme Court of the State included. Tbe Governor is a mere pop pet in tbe hands of tbe State machint; tbe Legislature is always tor sale; a judge cf tbe highest court was oaugbt red-banded tipping on, in advance, an interested party as to tbe court's- de oisioD; and tbe government of tbe two principal cities resolves itself, into a search for new methods of plunder. Tbis is not exaggeration, but merely a statement of fdots that are no longer disputed, And now, wherefore this attempt to muzzle the presBof Ibe State? It was the final, tbe logical, tbe inevitable step in the proocss of Pennsylvania's progressive degeneration. Tbe state of affairs beoame such that piaotically every important newspaper in Penn sylvania, regardless of party, turned against tbe exietiug regime. Lrotked ness in oity and otate was meroi lessly laid bare the sordid details given; the prioe at whioh legislators were bougbt, named; tbe value ot stolen franchises stated; the rake-eff on oontraots printed. The "gang" and tbe State machine leaders were assail ed ia cartoon and oomment, with mer a persistency, And finally tue oampaigu ol exposure began to leu The oastigation began tn be felt Ibrongh tbe toughest political hides. The dormant oivio oonsoiecce of tbe people showed signs of awakening, The answer of ihe corporations, tbe poli ticians, the pluoderers, who control Pennsylvania, was tbis measure jam med through without hearing or de bate intended to muzzle the press and stifle exposure. And what has been attempted, in Pennsylvania, is what tbe same ele ments will attempt elsewhere, when ever they feel that tbeir power is suffi cient. To either own and control or to stifle the press, is tbe final step in corporation domination of the country. And in this tbe corporations have tbe eordial oo-operation ot tbe crooked politician, tbe corporation lawyer, bougbt with a retainer, aud the grafter in the oities, out for tbe "stuff." The Pennsylvania of today is tbe problem ot the future tbe greatest problem the country has to face. Its shame is the shame of a State govern ed by a compact between organized wealth, pnrobased brains and brandid criminals. And tbat tbis ibame may be made perpetual, the right of appeal to pnblio intelligence and the oivic con soienoe, has been taken away, if the Courts sustain the infamous law passed for that purpose.

"Very truly youis, Signet "J. Y. Joyner, "faup'i Publio Instruction." Now, Mr. Editor, I do not know what changes the last Legislature made in tbe school law, but, wot king under the old law, all the balances from every district would he transferred to tbe general fund and reapportioned in July and January. It does seem bard that these teachers should be cot out of their just dues. Tbe County Board has done all in its power to pay tbem, but tbey are com pelled under tbe law to accept tbi State Superintendent's oonstruotion of the law governing such matters. S. H. Strange, Chairman B. of E Ihe Teachers' Fay. Correspondence of the Obferrer. Fayetteville, N. C, May 13, 1903. Mr. Editor: Answering J. D. McNeill's request for information in regard to paying teacbers for tbeir services iu today's issue, say, that the Board has asked permission of the State Board for priv ilege to pro rate tbe money drawn for needy distriots in Cumberland and use all the money drawn, if neeessary, for tho payment of teaobers. Our request was deolioed for the stated reason that such a course would deprive those who were entitled, of tbeir equal sharp with others, and thereby injure the school interest. Perhaps, in one view of the case, they are right ; but tbis Board is of tbe opin ion tbat unless teacbers be paid they will naturally adopt some other oalling and thereby deprive the children of tbeir services. Ou account of tbe great number of schools iu this county, tbe providing of teaobers was no small job, when the pay was assured. Under tbe present ruling we'll see wbat we shall see. I am glad Mr. McNeill bas given this matter publicity and afforded the Board an opportunity to let tbe publio know tbe real reason wbv tbe teachers bave not been paid. Very resp'y, J. H. Smith, Ex-Member B of E. for Cumberland County. HERE'S A BABY ITS MOTULIt IS WELL. The batjr U healthy bocauie during reaUtion IU mother pied the purely vegetable liniment Mothers Friend.

X. mean that when a thing is offered that is a blessing to our entire oommunity and for its upbuilding we should pull to gether as one man, using every ffort to upbuild our oity. We bave as many natural advantages, and more than a great many of our sister cities. We are all more or less stumbling blocks in her progress. Dispensary, prohibition, &)., &c, have so seriously divided us tbat we sometimes forget our duties as good citizens and allow our prejudices to take ns backward in this world of prejudices, and not allow these old sores to heal and pull together. Tbe outside world lodges us as if we were a quar relsome and divided people when we are as good if not better than those who judge us. Uan anyone show me tbat it is not to the interest of tbis community to bave a flist-class system of graded schools running on asolid basis t Wberecould we get as much for our money as we could for the tax wo would pay to make our community tbe equal of any in ber school system 1 Tbe Board of Aldermen will vote the oity's money to help out tbe past condition of tbe school, yet some ot these very fellows will oppose spending tbeir own money for a first-class system. I do not like the way this graded sobool bill is drawn, but tbe "pure io heart," as Bro. Mao. Matthews calls them, seem to be in control, and I bow to their will and say, give us schools on a-.taxable basis. Name your own tras. . tees; we may yet live, to see you "go way baok and sit down." They ask us to support tbeir bill, but they should bave consulted us about tbe making of the Bame ; they want to take us into their confidence now, they should bave called a mass meeting and discussed it fully before tbe making thereof. I shall however vote for tbe bill as it is, and I appeal to my friend Captain McNeill, and I know there is no more progressive citizen, and Capt. McKe than and to every voter in Cross Creek to let's vote as a unit for a system of schools that we can all be proud of. Tbe trustees are of us and we must hope will do ooly wbat is good for all concerned. Tbey should employ com petent teaobers and cultivated ones. Let's hope they will do tbeir t'uty and we will do ours by voting for good schools. Bcff. BKVIB DAM ITEMS Beaver Dam, May 13, 1903. May is bere once more with all its glory and beauty.
