U Death of Mrs. Jefferson Davie. I f
rhtrtottr kw.l.-t..lr 17. I $
lout night at the Ibtlel Mijee
tie in New York rilv the death
'angvl called to her reward Mrs.
Jelferaon Yarina I lav in, widow ol
the Sonth's lamented aud revered
chieftain.
Hince the first news of her fatal
illness aa heralded abroad there
weut ap from every true Southern
heart a sileut and earnest prayer
for her recovery, but now that she
haw goue from among us there is
feeling of sadness all over our land.
Many an old soldier to day, totter
mgoutbe verge or the grave, re
membering the dauutless president
of the "Lust Cause," his sorrows,
hMecstariea, bta torture, hut mar'
tvrdom, will panne to drop a si
It-ut tear over the taking away of
the leader a widow.
It was she, who has just died,
that walked lovingly by the aide
of Mr. Davis through his sorrow
fill, yet glorious career. Hho was
with hiui when he, with un
dauted courage, fought the Mouth's
battles in the halls of eoiigre aud
the natteu s senate. She was with
him iu Mexico where he was we
verely wounded la the service of
his couutry. She watched his ca
reer lenuerly wheu be Served as
president of the Confederacy. Her
heart pulsed with his as he steered
the armies of the South.
Hhe was with him, even nearer
and dearer, when the tables of
fortune changed and wheu sor
row's hand was visited upon him
relentlessly. Through the long
tirade of abuse, malediction aud
vitiieratou from newspapers and
orators of the Jorth she stood
proudly, queenly, by his side and
comforted and cheered linn
through it all. She saw her hus
band falsely caricatured in wo
man's attire, and with proud su-
IN'riority rejoiced iu her husband
who was made the victim of pen
ny a liners' puuy puns and half
li niiied artiste' weak ridicule she
stood as a "rock in a weary
and," ever faithful by his side.
And then, cursed fate, when
he cloud grew still more lower
ng and the tragedy of poor Ia
is, lifii waxed more intense, she
irver forsook him, but stood un
altering, constant. From center
o circumference of the North she
heard the choice of her heart
rmed traitor, assassin, but ber
ove for him mellowed in its in
finite, tenderness.
And then the crisis came and
glorious, valiant, grand old
avis was, by the order of Gen.
ilea, shackled aud thrust Into
prison at Fertress Monroe. The
iiominy of a felon was cast base-
upon him aud yet she loved and
lorted him. 1 hough the long
weary pass of one seemingly
ndlesH year she was forcibly sep
arated from him who was in prison.
A nmi she she would hear vague re
ts of how her husband was
osiug his eyesight, growing eina-
(I. sickening, slowly, by de
grees, dying in prison and in it
all she was not allowed to go to
im. At last, after one year, she
was permitted to remain with him
Hie other year of confinement.
What a vision was that she
saw allter the absence or one
year! Old "JelT" Davis, the
patriot, was uow aged, weak
ened from prison life and brutal
reatmcnt, crushed but not hu
miliated! In the frail tabernacle
that harbored his spirit was a will
unconquerable, a spirit brave to
death. .She saw him through it
all and admiuistered unto him,
never losiug her love and respect
for him.
Much is the spirit that has just
passed from our midst. We are
proud of her and her memory
will remain in every true South
erner's heart fresh and crisp.
Ia,1 some should not understand
her motive Iu living in the North
since the war, aud for fear some,
ii iguorauce of the real truth,
should deem her untrue to the
land of her birth, we take the fol
lowing paragraph from an inter
view given while she was in New
Orleans at the occasion of the pur
chase of her old home place, Bon
Voir, by the Bute of Mississippi:
"I have couie lo stay as long as
I possibly can. 1 shall stay until
the hot weather drives me away.
I would slay here always if I
could. I only w ish that I could
live here but I cannot stand the
least heat. God only knows how
I love my dear old country, this
dear old cou ut i y, this dear South
land, endeared by so many hal
lowed memories. These are' my
Mile and I love them as per
linus they will never know. Their
devotion, their love, their rever
ence for the memories of my hus
band and daughter touch my
heart very deeply. I read with
interest all the sweet and beauti
ful things said about them. I
watch the beautiful celcbratioua
held. I note how much is done to
honor the memory of my husband
and teach their children to do it
too. I can never forget all the
homage that theae dear devoted
people did my husband while be
was living; bow the old veterans
loved him. Yea, I love the South,
my old land, I love my own peo
ple and I would that I could stay
with them always."

Good schools do more for the ad
vanceuieiit of the intellectual aud
financial condition of a roniuuuity
than any other ageucy. Under the
publie school law of North Caro
lina it Is possible for any coniniu
nity in the State to have a good
school if such a school is wanted.
The law now provides for a four
mouths school in each district.
The patrons or any district may
vote an additional tax not exceed
lug :t0 cents on the 1 100 worth of
property to supplement the fund
already apportioned and bring the
schools op to a higher standard
and longer term. In all the plans
ever submitted for the improve
meut of educational facilities Our
Home lias never Heard or one
that is more practical than the ipe
rial tax feature. This plan simply
opens up the door of opportunity
to the people of any district who
are willing to do ther part to se
cure superior educational ad
vantages to their children.
V
The great majority of the dis
tricts in the Stat that have thus
far submitted the question of local
taxation to a vote of the patrons
have carried the election in favor
of local taxation to make the
schools longer and better. In ev
ery district where an unsuccessful
attempt was maue lo carry an
election in fav or of the local tax
the effort was defeated by a com
biuatou of selfishness and igno
ranee that would almost make i
first class hog ashamed of him
self. Any publio-spirited pro
gressive man will admit that if a
four-mouths public school with a
cueap teacuer is a goou tning, a
six-months school with a compe
tent and successful teacher is a
better thing, and there is no bet
ter or more economical way to get
the longer term aud higher grade
teachers than to vote the secial
tax to supplement the amount
already received from the public
school fund.
V
Under the law without the spe
cial tax, committeemen cannot
pay a teacher over f .'10 a month,
aud a man who is auy account
will not teach at that price any
longer than, ia necessary to fiud a
position that pays more niouey,
aud that will not be long. But
with a special school tax a dis
trict can employ ar0 teacher if
it wants one. Therefore, by the
special tax plan, the district not
only gets longer terms but it gets
choice of teachers because it has
something to pay them with, and
we can't get the best service un
less we are willing to pay for it.
V
We said that the defeat of the
special school tax iu any school
district is the result of a combina
tion of selfishness and ignorance,
and we mean what we say. When
iguorauce and sefishness get
mixed up together it makes a
mighty bl ndiug combination. Ig
norance looks with fearful suspi
cion upon every attempt to better
human conditions, and then when
you couple with it a sordid self
ishness that is close akin to hog
ishness you have a mixture that is
hard to overcome, and the onward
march of a progressive intellectual
army is the ouly thing that will
trample it iuto the dust of obliv
ion. V
tio to a selfish, ignorant man
and put to him the proositiou
that a tatter aud higher grade
school in his district is the best fi
nancial investment he can make
to lift the community np in the
estimation of the world ami
thereby enhance the value of
proerty iu the district, and he
will tell you that be doesu't be
lieve a word of it. Appeal to his
better nature by telling him that
if he didn't have the advantage
of a practical education he ought
to be willing to raise the average
of intelligence in his commu
nity us it is more pleasant to live

Machine Invented to See Persons
While Conversing With Them
Over the Telephone.
New York Time.
To see by electrical means the
persons with whom one is convers
ing over tne telephone Is the pur
pose of a device announced simul
taneously by two different Ameri
can inventors, Messrs. J. B. Fow
ler and William II. Thompson,
who are keeping the complete de
tails of the operation of their re
sjiective apprattises to themselves,
H-ndiiig application for patents.
Curiously enough, the name
adopted by each for his inventiou
is the "Tele v lie."
Cassier's Magu.iiie for October
gives some idea of the nature of
the device, but notes that the sci
entist Nisco of Belgium has de
clared, after careful study of
methods hitherto proposed for
seeing at a distance electrically,
that none of them fulfills the re
quirements of successful opera
tion. From a non technical de
scription of the present invention
it would apitcar that a person
seated at a telephone, by giuiug
into a projection similar to a hand
tcieoscope at the side of the hand
transmitter, may observe tho out
line of the features in their natural
colors of the sieakerat the distant
end of the wire, or wires there
will lie four of them, but eventu
ally only two used to accomplish
the whole operation.
Iu most experiments for trans
mitting sight the sulphurous sub
stance selcui.im, whose electrical
resistance varies with the iuteusity
of the light thrown upon it, has
lieen employed in divers ways. M
Xisco suggests a method which he
thinks may prove ultimately suc
cessful. Itoughly, the plan is as
follows:
a sensitive metallic net or
screen is prepared, into whose
meshes are introduced copper
wires with a coat of wet insulating
varnish; the suface is then tiled
smooth and covered with crystal
lized selenium. The wires are led
iuto a cylindrical chamlier, and
brought in contact with a Steele
blade moving at the rate of six
hundred revolutions a minute,
which records in a microphone by
means of an electric circuit the
slight variations of light cast
upon the screen by the telephon
1st. 'these are transmitted by a
spark process to the screen at the
receiuing station, on which is cast
the light of each spark in its vary
ing intensity so as to produce the
uiumtnntcd Image.
While Cawier's Magazine be
lieves the scheme to be ingenious
rather than practicable, it pre
diets that it will probably form the
basis of effort by nnmeraus aspi
rants after fame aud fortune in this
field of invention.
