The following beautiful truth
and touching sentiment is taken
from an editorial of the New York
Tribune of yesterday which
speaks for itself and will find an
echo even unto tears in the hearts
Of every Southerner:
1T is worth while also to remem-
Ger that the South furnishes the first
sacrifice Of this war. Ensign Bagley
was native of North Carolina. With
his blood he has sealed the union III
arms of the North and South. A
people who once fought against the
Stars and Stripes send one of their
sons as the first sacrifice for the
honor and glory Of that flag. There
IS no North and no South after that.
We are all Worth Bagley's country

THE FIRST TO FALL.

Daily Argus, Thursday, May -.
In the great war that opened
between the States of the Union
thirty-seven years ago, the first
to give up his life in the fray
was a young and noble son of
North Carolina.
To-day the sad news flashed
over the wires to his infrm and
widowed mother in Raleigh, that
Worth Bagley, Ensign on the u
S. torpedo boat Winslow, was in
stantly killed yesterday in action
in the BON bardment of Cardenas.
This is the first life given up
on the American side in the
present war. And so, dear old
North Carolina again has the sad
distinction that was hers in '61.
And not only throughout North
Carolina, or wherever a North
Caroiinian is, but throughout the
nation, will the great heart of a
united people pulsate in unison
with deep, inexpressible sympa-
thy for those whose homes have
been stricken and their lives
made sorroWful by this sudden
taking off of as true. as brave, as
brilliant young man as our
State ever produced or the ma
tion has known. Worth Bagley
was all this-he was more: he
was an ideal son; therefore by
the unfathomable depths of a
mothers love can his bereaved
mothers sorrow and sense of
loss be measured.
May God sustain her is the
prayer of the nation to-day.
Ensign Bagley was the son of
the late W. Il. Bagley, of Ra
leigh. who was for years and up
to his death, Clerk of the Su-
pIeme Court. Young Bagley was
appointed to the U. S. Naval
Academy from the Raleigh con-
gressional district in 1891, after
competitive examination in
which he stood first. This would
make him about 90 or "a years
of age.
