Speaking Of the condition OF

gressional records with his ability
the "Noble Old Roman" will
leave b hind him a record pure
and clean and unassailed by even
his bitterest enemies, after nearly
a half century of public service.
He is now over eighty years of
age, but even on last Tuesday it
was his wish to disregard his
injury and go to the polls to cast
his vote for Democracy, and only
his physicians urgent protest
prevented him from doing so. A
sage IN the councils OF the party
is about to be gathered to his
fathers, but behind him will live
the story of life in whose duty
50 faithfully performed the good
Of the people overshadowed any
selfish interest.
AS our cotemporary remarks,
the South has particular cause to
gratefully remember his record
in the Senate during the trying
days of reconstruction, for then
it was that he labored hardest to
bring about a settlement which
would give justice to a section
devastated by war and impover-
ished in population aid wealth.

OLD FORT RALEIGH
WORK OF SIR WALTER RALEIGH S
COLONIES TO BE PRESERVED.

Work is to begin Immediately
on Roanoke Island on the resto-
ration and preservation OF Fort
Raleigh, which was built there
bv Sir Raleigh's colonists. 1t
is one of the most historic spots
in the United States. The fort
and the surrounding have been
carefully surveyed. 1t is shown
to have been laid off by skilled
engineers. 1t is I35 feet from
one bastion to another. A part
OF it yet remains. In the resto
ration permanent materials Will
be used and the tort will present
as nearly as possible the appear
ance it presented over three cen>
turies ago. Coquine or shell
rock is to be the material used,
and this will be taken from near
NeWbern. The fort is within a
quarter of a mile of Roanoke
Sound, and within two miles of
Albemarle Sound. The work of
restoration will be done by
Roanoke Colony Memorial AS
sociation whose members are
mainly in North Carolina and
Maryland, and of which Graham
Dawes, Of Newbren, N. c., is
president and w. D. Pruden, of
Edenton, N. c., is vice-president.
Roanoke Island is in Dare county,
which the Legislature some
years ago created and named
after Virginia Dare, the first
white child born on American
soil. The association will also
erect on the island near Fort Raj
eieh a mem orial out of the ballast
thrown overheard by Amadas

Suppose they were to send you as

The Eskimo makes fire out ofwhalc oil

Suppose that you were shipwrecked on

And making for the country where the

Where time is told by ages of iclclcs

No living soul would blame you If they
heard you growing much!
But, here you area little chill, and
coal not very high,
And all the fires blazing, and the pos

And the hick'ry nuts roasting, while

And you're railing 4 the weather, and

Sorrow and trials follow him
