Hoard heirs, whose father was

object to the lands being appropri.

divided in sentim mt with regard
to the justice in the case, and 1t is
upon this issue that the election

The writer of the above is

that plat--which was never

ously disappeared several
years ago and now the

Had you father or mother? If 80

so do you ever have over one at a
time? What is your precise fight
ing waite? Did you ever have any
ancestors, and if so how much? Did
you ever have any nightmare? Are
you married or single or are you a
bachelor? Have you ever commit
ed suicide? If so how did it effect
you? After answering the above
like man in the affirmative the
slick little fat fellow with the gold
spectacles on said / was insured for
life and would probably remain so
for years. ] thanked him, smiled

THE Intelligencer makes this per-
tinent inquiry:
"Why does the board Of normal
school regents have TO go outside of
West Virginia TO find sn architect? ?
We have some capable architects in
this state. Isn't It well to keep the
states money at homer"
We should think that after seeing
the magnificent piece Of botchwork
here in Glenyille, the present board
Of regents would fight very shy of
following the example Of their illus
trious (?) predecessors. There isn't
a carpenter in GiImer county who
would have designed and foisted up
on an intelligent public such a mon
strous abortion as our public school
building. There are dozens Of ar
chitects in this State who for fifty
OF one hundred dollars could have
designed q building that would have

The Whereabouts of Maceo and Gomez Not
known-Politica Prisoners Will Be
Shot This Week.

Havana, March 24.-General Ruiz re-
ports that upon finding party of insur-
gents encamped at San Jose, in Havana
province, he attacked and dispersed
them, the rebels leaving eight dead on
the field. The troops pursued the fleeing
rebels and killed five more of them. 1t
is said the rebels were a party of negroes
under Collazo. General Meguizio re-
ports finding a band of rebels between
Casignas and Tapaste, in the province of
Havana. He attacked and dispersed
them, killing ten. The Spanish did not
lose man. No news has yet been re-
ceiyed of Gomez and Maceo. Last
Wednesday on the estate of Santa Rosa,
near Santa Domingo in the province of
Santa Clara, two Spanish columns, re-
spectively under General Godoy and
Colonel Holguin. fired upon each other
while accommodating. The firing lasted
ten minutes. Seventeen soldiers were
killed and ninety-two wounded. Colonel
Fuenmayer and five other officers were
among the killed.
Havana March 24.-It is reported here
that the rebel leader Maceo is in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, near the north
coast. Gomez is said to be moving to
the eastward. Two political prisoners,
who are now confined in the Cabanas
fortress, will be shot this week.
Madrid, March 24-The Havana cor
respondent of the impartial cables that
the rebelsin Havana and Matanzas prov
inces are constantly on the move. with
the object of assisting Maceo and his fol-
lowers to get out of the province of Pinar

small inhabited places through which he
passes, and is burning all of the sugar
and tobacco plantations by the use of
petroleum.

CUBA.

For the State Herald.
oh, freemen, pausel lend listening ear
To murmuring waves-complainfng sea
Blood-stained the spray, with prismic tear,
From isle. fair isle, that should be Tree!
Once wave and tide in years of yore
Sang of oppression that we bore
Thrilled patriot hearts till from our shore
We drove the tyrant evermorei
The song today of tide and wave
Is oceans wall 'gainst tyranny
Appealing cry of strong men, brave,
And patriot sons for sympathy!
With torch in hand of Liberty.
To light all lands and isles at sea-
Unless we aid those who'd be free,
So near us, too-'tis treachery!
No pen can-paint or muse can sing
In fitting words of tyrant Spain
The record of each prince or king
Is rapine, murder, dungeon chain!
And still the waves sing sad refrain
OF virgins fair in prison pen
Who robbed of virtue. then were slain
BY Spanish brutes--they were not men!
And now this isle--this isle of ease
And tempered clme-a poem, dream
A gem, bright gem, mid tropic seas,
With tides, warm tides, from oceans
stream,
Is theater for lustful reign
Of those who gloat in blood of slain!
Though crime accused, it's darkest staln
Recorded 'gainst the fiends of Spain.
O! let us help these Cubans. brave.
Their liberty achieve the while
Break every chain of Cuban slave,
Drive Spanish demons from their isle;
w. e. HORNE.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-03-25

oaths, medicine, but not blows nor pun
ishment; they are dealt or given.
Adopt is a poor substitute for take in
such phrases as What course will you
adopt?"
We write of an aggressive salesman,
an aggressive firm. The word doesn't
mean enterprising or even pushing, but
hitting first making the first attack.
Do not confound amateur with novice.
An amateur may be an artist of great
experience and skill, but he is not a pro-
feSsional artist. A novice is beginner.
An audience is an assembly of hearers.
There can be no audience at gymnastic
performance, pantomime, boat race,
a sparring match, and the like. Where
only the eye is appealed to use the word
spectators.
Avocation is not synonymous with vo-
cation. A mans vocation is his calling,
his business; his avocations are the
things that occupy him incidentally.
Do not use balance in the sense of rest,
remainder, residuum or remnant The
word is only permissible where the sim
lie of the scales will apply as in book
keepers balance.
Do not confond bountiful with plenti-
full. Bountiful means liberal, beneficent.
Distinguish character from reputation.
SANDER may harm reputation, but not
character.
Commence is called vulgar by many au-
thorities. Begin is far preferable, be-
cause it is shorter and Is Anglo-Saxon.
Consider means to contemplate, to pom
der Do not use for think, suppose or
regard.
Constantly is not synonymous with fire.
quently. Constantly means uninterrupt-
eddy.
Deprecate is wrongly used for disap-
prove, censure, condemn. The word
really means to beg or pray against.
Description should not be used for kind
or sort Say, His clothes were of the
meanest SORT" and not "of the meanest
description"
Dirt means filth. A thing that is dirty
is foul. Do not use for earth, loam
gravel or sand.
Do not use expect for suppose, think
or guess.
Farther should be used exclusively
with reference to distance. In other
connections use further.
Got is more misused than any word in
the language. Get expresses attainment
by exertion. Possession is completely
expressed by have. II have got" is in
has is meant; as in 'the lodge numbers
81 have got book in my hand"
Less relates to quantity; fewer relates
to numbers.
man is liable to that to which he is
exposed, or obliged or subject; but he Is
not liable to act. Do not confound with
likely.
Mutual is not synonymous with COM
mon. Macaulay says: Mutual friend
is low vulgarism for common friend"
Number is often used as verb where
has is meant, as in 1.-The lodge numbers
forty members"
