10 VICTIS.
BY w. W. STORY.

l sing the hymn Of the conuuered-wbo
fell in the battle of life
The hymn of the wounded, the beaten, who
died rwhelued in the strife
Not the iubiiant song Of the victors, for
whom the resOunding acclaim
Of nations was lifted in chorus, whose
brOWs wore the chaplet of fame
But the hymn of the low and the humble
the weary, the broken in heart,
Who strove and who failed-acting bravely
silent and desperate part;
Whose youth bore no flower on its branches,
whose hopes burned in ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the prize thev
had grasped at, who stood at the
dying of day
With the wreck of their life all around
them-unpitied, unheeded, alone
With death sWOOping down on their failure,
and all but their faith Overthrown,
While the voice of the world shouts its
ch0ruS-ltS pean for those who have
While the trumpet is sounding triumphant,
and high to the breeze and the sun
Glad banners are waving-hands clapping
and hurrying feet
Ihronging after the laurel crowned victors
i stand on the field of defeat
In the shadOw-with those who have fallen,
and wounded and dying, and there
Chant a requiem low, place my hand on
their pain knotted brows, breathe
prayer;
Hold the hand that's helpless and whisper
-"They only the victory win
Who have fought the good fight and have
vanquished the demon that .tempts

Who have held to their faith unseduced by
the prize thai the world holds on high
Who have dared for high cause to suffer,

LOCAL TAXATION IN PITT.

The Greenville RefAeet0y says this
of the sentiment in regard to local
taxation for schools in that county:
Everybody seems to be the same
way of thinking about local taxation
in this county. No one favors it. 1t
would be utter folly to raise more
money to put into the present man
agement of public schools. Those
who favor local taxation under other
circumstances could never be induce d
to vote for it at present. The public
schools for the next two years are des-
tined to be failure. They will con
tinue so as long as they are in poll
tics and are used to further the inter
ests Of few politicians. This is the
verdict of the people in these parts in
reference to them just now.

TIE SCHOOLS 40 DANGER.

The advocates of the extra school
tax appeal to the people to 'ssave the
public sbhools." The public schools
are not in the slightest danger. They
will be maintained as heretofore. They
will get the same funds and have the
same terms as before, and the refusal
of the people TO vote an additional
burden of taxation upon themselves,
with the jail doors yawhing before
them as a penalty for the non-pay-
ment (at time when payment is well
nigh imposslble) Of the onerous taxes
already imposed, will not have the

1t is impossible for man to be one
thing and seem to be another. Many
persons try to live and act in one
manner and have the world give
them credit for being something else.
This is always failure. The great
question should be to find out what is
the right and proper method Of life
and live that way. The reason why
SO many make failure is due to the
fact that it is difficult to understand
life Alright. Within the life Of every
man there are two forces at work, and
these two forces are arrayed against
one another The one force is inspired
by the Prince of Darkness, who uses
as his chief weapon the influence
which we call deceit. The other
within the nature of man is the inspl-
ration coming from the kingdom of
truth and light. These two forces are
always at war with each other. The
struggle is made more difficult because
of the deceit which the one power uses.
1t is difficult to travel over country
road which is new and unknown, if
wrong directions are given by every
one who passes. 1t is still more diff
cult to 60 through life with the decep
tions constantly placed in the path.

The State and the Special School Tax.
(Winston Journal.)

The idea Of the State donating so
much as an lnducemen, for the people
to vote for local taxation or any other
question, What is the State any way?
Who has to pay tina, extra amount
offered by the State? The people have
to pay il, and every other amount the
State donates in any way. The last
Legislature, either ignoran,ly or pur-
posely, undertook TO ride over the
people with its iron clad measures
The reformers propose 10 make the
people pay taxes whether they elect to
do so or not, Under the disguise of
making the local taxation question
optional with the people, that legisla
ture hooked on the State donating
measure, clause which forces the
ocslllies, which reject the measure, to
share part of the burden of taxation
any way. For example, one half of
the State may endorse local taxation
and receive all the benefits, but the
other half Of the State, though il rejects
the question, will have to bear It's part
of the amount the State proposes to
donate. That is, they who vote
against increased taxation will have to
pay an increase any way, provided the
question carries anywhere. The acts
of that notorious body are just as
badly mixed as the late Legislature
was itself

ALL WERE NORTH CAROLINIANS.

General John B. Gordon in his
speech at the Confederate reunion at
Nashville, in his warm eulogy of
Tennessee selected for special praise,
s'its immortal son, Andrew Jackson"
its "illustrious son, James K. Polk,
under whose brilliant and triumphant
administration was waged the Ameri-
co-Mexican war, California acquired
and that Ell Dorado of the Pacific
placed within American borders.' -
Another distinguished son, President
Andrew Johnson, cher bishop soldier,
Leonidas Polk" Now it happens
that all of these noted men were not
natives of Tennessee, but of North
Carolina. Jackson was born in Union
county; President Polk in Mecklen
burg; Johnson in Wake, and General
Polk, we believe also in Mecklenburg,
but Of that we are not assured and are
writing away from our books. Gen
eral Polk should be credited to
Louisiana and not to Tennessee, for
he was bishop of Louisiana when he
entered the Confederate army. He
was killed in battle. Anoth-r of the
selected men for special eulogy by
General Gordon, was that splendid
soldier General Bedford Forrest. He
was rightly classed for he was born in
Tennessee, but his father was a North
Carolnian. Many other distinguished
Tennesseeians were born in North
Carolina-notably General Zollicoffer,
a native of Halifax, as was General
Ben McCulloch, Meredith ?. Gentry,
Judge Broomfeld Ridley, Chief Justice
Sneed, and a very famous, gifted
politician living near or at Murfrees-
boro, we think it was, who was very
prominent in the United States house
prior to TIE war His name we do
not recall at present. We think he
was born in the Albemarle section.
Judge Ridley was born at Oxford, in
the house recently burned, by which
this writer's family were serious losers,
and Chief Justice Sneed was born at
Raleigh of Granville stock.-Wllmlng-

of his mode Of life on his brow, SO the
child Of the kingdom of light is known
of all men to be saved. When by the

Your Present Need

Is pure, rich blood, and a strong and
healthy body, because with the ap-
proach of spring and the beginning of
warmer weather your physical system
will undergo radical changes. All the
impurities which have accumulated
during colder weather must now be
expelled or serious consequences will
result. The one true blood purifier
prominently in the public eye today is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Its record of
cures is unequalled. Its sales are the
largest in the world. A few bottles of
Hoods Sarsaparilla will prepare you
for spring BY purifying and enriching
your blood and toning and invigorating
your whole system.
