Of Nehemiahs patriotism | will get my

1T would be well for you to remember
this, that patriotism is not State pride

you. Pride is never Il great spirit, it IS
always contemplate, it is always mar
row, and for a man simply to parade
little State incidents and brag largely
on his love and pride of his State. is to
substitute a hollow sound where COD
demands a deep spirit. Then what IS
patriotism? 1t is an unselfish love of hui
mainly. 1t is not confined to your little
section of country. The fact is, young
gentlemen, that patriotism has nothing
to do with country, but all to do with
men. You may love your old State, that
is true; not because Of its great noun
tains, its rolling hills, its stretching
plains, and its great thunder-beaten
coasts, but because every hill seems to
wrap mp in itself the life of some true
man or true woman, because every
highway seems to be impressed with the
feet of some noble spirit that has trod
it, and because every city speaks out
a history Of seIf-sacrifice that gives it
distinctness, and it is the life that lies
back of these things
''1'he inspiration of Nehemiah was

he declined it, And his reason was

you may judge so-called reformers, and

many reformers are coming on the scene.
In fact l don't know but that one of the
curses of the world to-day is its ability
to produce reformers. 1t used to take
centuries to make one. In all of the
self-appointed American reformers to-
day there is not man of them who
claims to be moved by the spirit of
God. Not one has ever undertaken any
work because he feared Cod but your
so-called reformers have been men who
dared God and blasphemed him. and the
worst enemies of America to-day are

need not be uneasy about them. They

FIRE IN WELDON SUNDAY
THE ROANOKE INSTITUTE BURNED IN
WELDON SUNDAY NIGHT.
Prof. Jones Loss is Great---FortunateIy the
Session had Ended and Most Of the
Boarders We're at Home.

Weldon, Y. c., June G.-(Special.)-
The boarding department of Roanoke
Institute here, was destroyed by fire
early Sunday morning The school was
conducted by Professor J. A. Jones, of
Wake county. Two Of Professor Jones
sisters. Misses Mamie and Enla Jones,
also of Wake county, and Miss Belle
Stainback, another pupil at the institute
who was spending the summer with the
Misses Jones, barely escaped with their
lives. When aroused from their slumbers
the fire had already reached their room,
for the bed was on fire. They escaped in
their night robes. Miss Mamie Jones
had one of her feet slightly burned.
Professor Jones lost nearly all of his
furniture. including one of his pianos.
He had 10 insurance. and the loss falls
quite heavily on him.
The building was a handsome two
story brick structure, and was owned
by Miss Mamie NJ Stainback. She had
a policy Of $4,000 on the building in the
Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance
company. which partly covers her loss.
The building cost So. 800 to construct it.
The origin of the fire is unknown but as
it was first discovered in the cooking de-
partment it is supposed that the fire orr
ginated from the cook stove or from 4
lamp which the cook may have left
burning.
Fortunately the school had just closed
for the session, and the most Of the
boarders had returned to their homes.
