of these memories, that for twenty wears
nave been buried in our hearts, has given
us the best Easter we have seen since
Christ was risen from the dead This
moment finds its richest reward IN the
fact that we can light with sunshine the
shortening end OF a path that has long
been dark and dreary. Georgians, coun-
trymen, soldiers, and sons of soldiers, and
brave women, the light and soul and
crown Of our civilization, rise and give
your hearts voice as we tell jefferson Da-
Wis that he is at home among his people,
do not propose to rehearse what that
distinguished representative who had just
been eulogized said in his reply, except in
one single sentence | will quote one par
agraph in which he refers to the services
rendered him by tnat illustrious man
whose statue was that day being unveiled
in a somewhat memorable debate that oc-
Cured in Congress. He said
He had nothing to ask, but he had much
to give and when was the last from the
South who could excite any expectation of
umphant in the Senate and mashed the
injurious Yankee down"
Referring, l suppose, to our friend who
is now in Florence
Yet, Mr.. President, before the lilies of
that Easter were faded,
The funeral baked meats,
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables,
in New York or Brooklyn, and in this
same year of our Lord, 1886, this
same orator, who declared that Jefferson
Davis was the uncrOWneQ king of the
Southern people, and that no more glori-
Gus Easter had arisen since Christ died on
Calvary than that which gave them the
opportunity of renewing their devotion to
him and the ideas he represented, made a
pilgrimage to the North, and at the New
England dinner in the city of New York
poured out his treacle, cold cream, honey
and maple syrup all over the North, de-
claring that the South had been wander
ing in far country, that they were anx-
lous to return to the home of their fathers,
and the whole Democratic party rose and
fell on his neck, and put shoes on his feet,
and ring on his finger, and said 10,
| this my son that was lost is found"
But some protested, in the language of
the Scripture, as the elder son who had
not wasted his substance with harlots
complained that the father had killed the
fatted calf, although Thou never gavest
me a kid that | might make merry with
my friends"
When was that orator sincere, Mr.. Pres
ident? When did he speak the sentiments,
the feelings and convictions of the South
ern people. when he delivered that grafton
Oh the 1st day of May, 1886, in Atlanta,
in the presence of appIauding thousands,
or when he went up to the New England
dinner, in December of the same year,
and spilled oil and wine all over the Amer
icap people?

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at Lee, johnson

their customers of so many free trial bot

CAMBRIDGE, MASS, March 90, 1SsS.-J
have read with much interest the letter
IN late STATE CHRONICLE from Mr..
Grandy in which he quotes from an
old number of the University Magazine
an article about "A North Carolina Poet, >"
and asks for further information about
the gifted negro My attention was drawn
to his work several years ago by some
verses of his written for a lady's album in
1919, and to the authorship of which he
had relinquished all claim for twenty-five
cents, and since then have gathered to-
gether quite a number of his pieces from
old Raleigh, Philadelphia, New York, and
Boston papers of the period between 1S45
and 1860.
George was born about 1898 and was
the property of Mr.. James Horton, of
Chatham county. He was genuine
negro, with not Il drop of white blood in
his veins, and had spent all of his time in
working on the farm of his master, until
he was about thirty three years old, when
DR.. Joseph Caldwell, President Of the
University, secured employment for him
as servant at Chapel Hill. Before this
time he had composed number of verses
which were written down by others from
his dictation at night and at the time
usually allowed TO slaves, and in 1929
Gales & Son printed at Raleigh several of
his pieces in a pamphlet entitled 'The
Hope of Liberty" From this pamphlet the

the whole lake trade, If successful
the lake schooners which are now
making enough profit in three good
years to pay for themselves will have
to come down in their freight rates,
and the railroads running TO Duluth
will be banned, while the all-rail
freight routes most will suffer. There
is fight between Duluth and Chicago
now for the wheat of the Northwest.
Duluth has the advantage of shorter
distances of railroad transportation
from the wheat fields, while Chicago
has the larger capital and the older
business. Duluth has large ore ship
ments in addition to the grain, and,
though the ore is not shipped to
Europe, a cheap rate OF transportation |
would enable the ore companies to
end it TO New York. 1t already goes
o Cleveland On The return the shells
night be used to take coal to the
northwest Most of tie coal con.
umed in the Northwest comes from

SEALED WHEAT SHELLS.
a Scheme from Duluth That VIII BE Great
If IL Succeeds.

a Scheme from Duluth That VIII BE Great
IT IL Succeeds.
A man in Duluth has an invention
which he thinks will cheaper by half
the cost of Transporting grain and lum-
Der from the Northwest to Europe. In
his idea there are suggestions of the
Leary raft, canal boat and torpedo
boat His plan is to make cigar
shaped cylinders OF steel, which are to
be loaded in Duluth with grain, sealed
up, taken in tow through the lakes to
Buffalo, through the Erie canal to AL
bany, down the Hudson and over to
Liverpool, without once breakingbulk.
One of these shells will be sent to
Liverpool as soon as it is tested and
the necessary contracts for towing are
made. 1t is likely, though, that more
than one shell viii be built before an
experimental trip across the ocean is
made, as it would not be complete
experiment, nor would it pay to take
over only one shell, The shells are
made as large as the locks of the
Erie canal will permit. That is
the limit to the size of any YES
sci bound from Duluth TO New York,
The shells are made of steel plates
,riveted to each other like a boilers
plates. Inside there is sheathing to
prevent the water from getting into the
wheat That is all there is to the in
terror Outside there is a railing
around the hatch and aplace for a man
to stand and steer The steering APP
paratus is detachable. The intention
Is to have steersman on each shell
while going through the Erie canal
and other canals on the way from Du-
luth to New York, but at New York to
lash the shells together and tow them
across to Liverpool, taking-thequietest
time of the year to go and the easiest
routes, without an effort to make any
quicker transit than a sailing vessel
would though IN time Improvement
might come that would allow quicker
transportation s
