Where he first saw the light, by his
little strand.
Where father and mother and kindred
lie?
Wherever soul IL striving for light
Wherever humanity raises cry,
While struggling upward through the
night,
Wherever blow may be struck for
right,
Wherever the arch Of freedom be
spanned
There Is the free mans native land.
Then lift high the flag, uplift II to
wave
Wherever despairing man is to save:
Wherever a soul may be helped to stand
For God, and for truth, and native
land.
VI
o God of the free and God Of the true,
over our manhood watch today,
As we honor the blue,
And remember the grey.
oh keep our hearts strong and Keep
our thoughts pure;
And when we remember our sailors
slain,
However we love them, yet help to
restrain.
To forget all the rest, and endure.

Wilmington's New Charter.

Thecity Democratic leaders have deter
mined to have the Legislature pass the
new city charter and will use every effort
to bring about this result. They are
dlckering with the regular Republicans,
and the Addicks men are trying to deal
with the Democrats. The Democrats in
the Senate need only one vote 10 pass the
bill.
A proposition has been submitted to the
regular leaders TO have Senator Alrichs
vote for the charter In which event Mayor
McLear will be allowed to name the three
Democratic members Of the Mayors Cabi-
net and ths two Republicans.
Senator Stewart, who was elected by
the combined Republican factions, has,
1t It said, agreed to support the charter in
deal that will allow him to name in the
bill the two Republican Inembers Senator
Pyle to name two Democrats and the
House to name tho other Democratic
member.
Should this last deal go through, John
Il. Dickey, it is said will be named by the
House. Stewards idea, 1t Is said, is to
name two Addicks Republicans.
This development has caused commo.
tion among the Regulars, who say Steward
has gone back OH them. and unless they
agree to the Alrichs proposition the Ad-
dicks Republicans will gobblo the lsapubli
can share of the city spOilS.
