SETTLING THE QUESTION.
I've long since knowed the war is over
AnT that the world is rollinT right ;
No red dews fall upon the clover
AnT every lilyTs spotless white.
But what I didnTt know for certain
Was this: If England crost the sea
AnT foreign flags was round us flirtiuT,
Where would the boys of oDixie� be.
But yesterlay"the sunshine streaminT
Upon their curls, so soft anT sweet,
(Me settin in my doorway dreaminT),
The children played around my feet.
oAnT come!� says Jim, oMy gun is
ready ! qo
AnT thereTs my sword !� says little
Jack ;
oNow, march away there"steady"
steady !
We're goinT to beat the British
back |�
oQh, wait !� says little blue-eyed Sally,
AnT handed them a fluttering rag ;
oHereTs somepinT makes the soldiers
rally" }
How can you fight"without a flag!�
AnT then I got to ruminatinT,
AnT all was plain as day to me ;
AnT if itTs war ITm clear in statinT
I know just where the south would
be!

Matters Of Interest Over the State.
Coenen
Two young men in Charlotte. stole a
lot of goods from a merchant -by way
of having a little fun. Their explana-
tion that it was a joke failed to satisfy
the owner of the goods, and when they
were bound over to court it did not seem
altogether so funny.
While a large pine log: was, being |
sawed Tuesday at the mill of S. R.
Fowle & Son the saw came in contact
with a bard substance slightly. injuring
it. Upon investigation it was found to
bea large bomb shell imbeded in the
~timber six inches deep with the wood
and bark entirely grown over it."
Washington Messenger.
Mr. John J. Hill, a member of the
firm of Parker & Hill at Ahoskie, was
overcome by gasin his room in Balti-
more last week. He was there for the
pruchase of goods, and was found un-
couscious in his room at the Carollton
hotel, with the gas partly turned on.
It was thought that he did not proper-
ly turn off the gas when he retired."
Scotland Nesk Democrat.
Good Friday.
cifixion of our Saviour, and the day is
observed as a most solemn fast by the
ereater portion of the Christian world.
It is aday commemorative of the great
Christian tragedy . when Christ took
upon himself our sius and there, by his
own oblation, made _a_pertect, full and
sufficient sacrifice for all who with meek
hearts and due reverence will come
unto Him and live. Let each and every
one examine their hearts on this most
' | solemn day and see if there is not some
sin to be eradicated, some evil to be
~|discarded, calling upon the Lord for
help, strength and light.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
Epitork Rertector :"I think it
would be a good thing for the mer-
chants of Greenville to join we people
on the north side of the river in a pray-
er to the County Commissioners to stop
the bridge reparing until the spring
freshets are over. If the bridge is torn
up at this season of the year when there
are weeks ata time that the ferry flat
can not be used on account of an_ over-
flow in the low grounds on the north
side, you can see ata glance what a
great inconvenience it will be to the
people and also to the merchants, for if
a big treshet. comes like we often have
at this season of the year the north side
trade will be cut off for weeks at a time.
The case is not so urgent, I suppose,
but what it would be deferred a month
or twoat least, atowhich time, if it is ag
I have seen it,the river is often fordable.
It is a bad time of the year to stop
travel. REASON.
Alarm at the Jail.
About 8 oTclock Thursday night the
cry of fire was raised in the jail. A
crowd rushed there and Sheriff King
with others went in. The smell of
burning cloth was very distinct, but a
close examination failed to disclose any
fire. The supposition is that William
Perry and W. H. Barnes, two prisoners
who have just been sentenced to the
penitentiary for seven years each for
highway robbery, had set fire to some
clothing and raised the alarm with the
view of making their escape in the ex-
citement when the jail should be opened.
The smoke and odor was in their cell
and they were already dressed for going
out. |
Memorial Address at bg ahinelie:
Editor H. A. Londen, of, tlie Pitts-
boro Record, will deliver, the Memorial
address in Washington on May 11th,
his subject being oLife and Services of
Maj. Gen. Bryan Grimes.� Major
London will delight his hearers with an
admirable address on that occasion,
and we predict that some Greenville
folks will take advantage of the oppor"
tunity to hear him, The memory of
General Grimes is dear to many hearts
in Pitt aad surrounding counties.

Tuesday night at Bethel, Henry Cole
Broke in KnoxTs store and stole ;
Wednesday he gave his girl cologne,
Which proved to be some he had stolen.
Thursday Henry to Greenville came,
Knox and a Constable did the same.
Friday he was taken before the Judge
And fixed so tight he couldnTt budge,
This was quick work on Henry Cole,
And now he wishes he hadnTt stole.

who dreamed of ~all sorts of exploits to
get the treasure out of her, There was
an air of mystery about her that thrilled
the farm lads like the tales of Capt.
Kigd or the stories of the adventures of
wreel: eTs.
- Four years after elie was sunk an un-
successful attempt was ~made to get the
cargo. Several years after that farmers
in the. yieinity got. two. barrels..of
whisky out of her and when they went
for more she could not be found. TheT
treacherous riverohad shifted and she
was buried in a sand bank. Then the
river ent in along the south bani: ciose
under the bluff ~and the great rise of
1887 made a sand bar on top of her,T
-buvied her deep and left her far inland
under 39 feet of kand, 100 yards from:
the bank of the river at high water and
~half a: afr from shore when the river
was down
Last year a number of Kansas City
gentlemen organized a company to re-
eover the sunken cargo, By a serics of
ingenious mechanical devices they lc-
cated the wreck in 59 feet of water and
.found the freight in comparatively
~good condition. Therehave been ria iny
~interruptions of the work, but a large
part of the merchandise has already
been recovered,
The 300 barrels of whisky in the hold
are in a perfect state of prescrvation.
One of them was tapped and the whisky
was found to be beyond compare. A
glass of is, which was pourcd out before
a,company of men in the Kansas Vity
elub, filled the emtire floor with its
aroma. It was thick and oily, almost |
of the consistency of New Orleans mo-
lasses, and after the glass was emptied
it clung to the sides as sirup would.
The owhisky will not be taken out
until! the government, officials shall be-
come satish ied that it is tax fred. The
taxes were paid at thé distillery where
the ~stuff was made more than 30 years
ago.
There is.a rumor that, abaft of where
the whisky was found is the purserTs
cabin, and in it is a safe containing a
large sum of money, which was being
carried from St. Louis to up-river mer-
chants and army posts. The money
question, however, is forgotten for the
present in the joy of the wreckers at
the finding of the whisky. Speculation
is rife as to what will be the profits cf
the wreckers. Experienced dealers say
thatthe whisky: will sell readily for at
least $400 a Derrel i= Bt Louis Globe-

Pathos in Congress.
A very conspicuous and absurdly: sen-
timental member of the house from
New England, who loves ~to weep over
the wickedness of the world, and was
pathetic over pensions, gave utterance
to this burst.of eloquence when the pen-
sion appropriation bill was. under con-
sideration by the house: oWhy did he
weep? Why did he weep? I say, Mr.
Speaker, why did he weep? I repeat,
Mr. Speaker, why did he weep? His
heart was broken. Yes, Mr. Speaker,
I knew this man. He died of a broken
heart! He died ofa broken heart. I re-
peat, Mr. Speaker, he died of a broken
heart! He never smiled again. They re-
~fused him the pitiful increase of two
dollars a month on his pension, I say,
Mr. Speaker, he never smiled again. I
repeat, he never smiled again!� and
there were tears in the memberTs voice
as he closed this outburst of pathos."
