same historic regiment on the Kjth
of April, i36i,when passing through
the Monumental City. Thirty
seven years ago this command was
jibed, cursed, stoned and some of
us members shot by the mob; on
Saturday night it was pelted with
lTjwers and cheered to the echo,
the Confederate Veterans succeed
ing in leading the demonstration
of welcome. These are the scenes
which fire the heart with enthusias
tic patriotism and proclaim to the
world ai to every action of our
united country that one flag is the
tlag of a!!. It is worth all this war
will cost, if they could not have been
brought about otherwise, to have
these tilings realized by the people
throughout the United States.
Now that Wm. J. Bryan is to or
ganize a Nebraska regiment and
lead it to battle as its Colonel, the
gold-bug organs are wishing him
unbounded success. expecting prob
ably that, fearless leader as he is,
he stands a good show of getting
killed. Anything to beat free sil
ver, you know.
A knoi is 6,086.7 feet also the
length of a lifetime. A vessel mak
ing 20 knots an hour goes at a
speed of land miles. Forty
persons, however, can make 20
knots in much less time.
It is no discredit to the patriot
ism of a man who volunteers to
serve his country and is rejected
because physically inefficient. Re
member this, ye gabbing stay-at-homes.
A. B. C. Alamance, Bethel, Car

first blood shed in the Revolution,
the Civil, and the Cuban wars was
that of North Carolinians.

With llu outbreak of the Span
ish war the American civil war
.seems to have ended for good. Lee
antl Wheeler are wearing blue uni
forms, and they and many others
who wore the grey, or whose fathers
followed the fortunes of the Con
federacy, are now marching under
the stars and stripes. Nor is this
all. Senator Foraker, of Ohio, one
of the most ultra Northern parti
sans, says kit would be a good
thing at this time to return tile
Confederate battle tlags.'

une, a -strong republican paper. '
says: "I lie time to give back the
cafdured Hags has come. Ohio
wants no longer the trophies taken
from her sister States so long ago.
"She would rather restore them
once more into the hands and ten
der care of those who rirst bort
' 1
them aloft, as a token of love for
her sister Commonwealths whose
defeat in war has long since been
turned into a victory of peace and
plenty."
The Philadelphia Press, another
leading republican paper, says: "It
is believed that the time has' come
when the North should no longer .
cherish these tokens ol a divided
country. The spirit shown by the
South in the war with Spain, the
loyalty it is displaying to the liag
ot the Union, the readiness to vol
unteer and bear its share ol' the
burdens, ami the willingness lor
the time being to sink all political j
diligences and present a united
liont to the enemy have made a
pro fou ml impression on the conn
try. It was the liual ami convincing
proof that the war between section
is ended, that the country is unite.
as it never was before in aim ami i
purposes and that the American j
peopic rorrn an inunssoiuoie nation.
It is nuuouuced that at the an

will not be much complaint, but it

blunders of mel jd . Congres
will not loijgrenoiin silent.
Orders have been issued in pro

and there is, ol course, a general
hope that they will Mii-ceed in

that the Spaniards e.tn avoid a

Tho.se who tor one (,; ;t n r h.-1
reason a re desirous 01 dragging
the war on mdeiiniteiy have a.ain
been trying to persuade Mr.
Mc Kin ley to postpone the in as! on
of Cubit until fall. They have got
.1 new argument now that it wiii
take four months to make as much
ammunition as they think the
army ought t have before being
sent to Cuba. They also ring tin
changes on the old argument thai
military operations on a large scale
cannot be carried on in Cuba dur
ing the rainy season, w hicii usually
begins about the tenth of June anil
continues lor six or eight weeks
an argument ioiikr ago disposed
of by the active campaigns of the
insurgents during rainy seasons, li
the statement about ammunition
be true, which there is reason to
doubt, there is something radically
wrong about the War Department.
It is supposed from the hurrying
of volunteers to the south, that the
invasion of Cuba ft'iil be pushed at
once, but phni.s have been changed
so often that it is dif:ici;!r To say
what will be done.
C ir Jieed has the Hawaiian
aimeyationists on the anxious
bench. The other tour members
of the committee on rules are
evenly divided and it is lor him
to decide whetht r the committee
will report a special rule tor tin
consideration ot the annexation
resolution, without which the 1 e.S'.I
tion cannot be brought to a vote.
As a sort of answer to criticism
from every direction, it has been
semi-ollicially announced that the
Naval War Board, popularly known
as the "Board of Strategy.'" and
spoken of by some irreverent per
sons as the "Board of Lethargy.'"
which is composed of naval oin-e! s.
has nothing to do with conducting
the war, but is merely charged
with the duty of advising Secre
tary Long. This wiii strike most
persons as an attempt to make a
distinction where there is nod I def
ence. If Secretary Long did not
consider the advice of the board
worth being followed, the board
would speedily be abolished. It
would be safe to say that every
important order issued "by Scire
tary Long has been upon the advice
of this board. Ir would be the
most natural thing in the world
that both Mr. McKinley ami Si ;e

Mr. James Kowlaml of this vil

years his wile has been a still'erer
from rheumatism. A few nights
ago she was in such pain that she
was neaily crazy. She sent Mr.
I'owland lor the doctor, but he
had read of Chamberlain's Fain
Ualm and instead of going for the
physician he went to the store and
secured a bottle of it. Ilia wife
did not approve of Mr. Kowland's
iuireha.se at first, but nevertheless
applied the lialra thoroughly and
in an hour's time was able to go
to sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or a pain
and finds that it always gives
relief. He says that no medicine
which she had used ever did her
as much good. The L'o and oO cent

How To Look Goo.!.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on
a healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive,
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach is disordered, you have
a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys
are affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health, and
you will surely have good looks.

ative and Tonic. Acts directly on
