General Merriam will undoubtedly
report upon his return to the main

cult to properly house any more

ability is that the volunteers will

garrisoning of Hawaii will be left

these two young officers were given
commissions on board the torpedo boat
Winslow.
Mr.. Breckenridge died before the war
began. but Ensign Bagley continued to
win fame, and not long ago was made
second officer of his vessel-an unusual
honor for so young man. There was no
man i'm the navy with n brighter future.
'.Though cut off thus untimely, as it
seems to us. Worth Bagley has lived long
enough to stamp his character upon our
national life, and he has won n place
in American history.
I'VE were expecting when war was
declared to hear news of the slaughter
of some of our sailors and soldiers.
though we have no doubt of our final
victory. But we were not expecting the
first sacrifice To be one of orr own
friends and loved ones. The news is a
shock and bereavement. Our heartfelt
sympathy goes out to his family and
relatives and friends.
But we do not feel sorrow for Worth
Bagley. We sneak of the slain in bat
tletle as if but for that, they would have
lived forever. We speak Of the death
of others. as if we ourselves were inn
mortal. But we know that we all are to
die. And how can death come better than
in the discharge of our duty, and in the
service of our country. This is the way
death came to Worth Bagley. He died
a brave man at his post of duty. Only
a few days before this fatal engagement
at Cardenas. Worth Bagley wrote his
mother that he felt no personal fear
He said: Whether / return with nv
shield or upon it. ] want you to be n
Spartan mother. And his mother is. and
she had a Spartan son. Why. bows. we.
who are going to die. can envy a man
such n death as his.

Worth Bagley in beautiful words. which

oil who stated that Mr.. Bagley had once
haan student in the city schools.
At each school the children were gath
cred together, and the heroic manner of
his death was told and his brave char
acter portrayed.
Mrs. Barbee had been a teacher of
Worth Bagley at the Centennial School,
and she told of his popularity as school
hoy and his wit and gallantry. he was
even then fond of ships, Mrs Barbee
said, and once, while a pupil of Miss
Gales, he drew picture of full-rigged
vessel, and wrote under it, My ship is
driven by favoring Gales.
Miss Hale told the scholars Of the eX-
traordinary honor of Worth Bagley' 5
assignment to the torpedo service. OF
all the young officers, he alone was rec
commended for this service by all the
members of the appointing board.
Superintendent Howell in announcing
Mr.. Bagley's death, said:
1.-The war has become terribly real
thing to us in Raleigh. News has come
today of an attack by a portion of our
fleet upon the forts at Cardenas, on the
North coast of Cuba. in which the first
American lives were lost in the war; and
one of them was that Of Worth Bagley,
of Raleigh.
''IIe was on the torpedo boat Winslow,
and while our vessels were attacking
Cardenas, shell was fired from a
masked battery, and exploded above the
Winslow, killing Ensign Bagley and
four seamen, and wounding some others.
1t is n remarkable coincidence that the
first Southern soldier slain in the Civil
war was from Edgecombe county, North
Carolina. and the first American slain
in this Spanish war is Worth Bagley,
of Raleigh, North Carolina.
.'Mr. Bagley received his appointment
ia the Naval Academy after a competi-
five examination. He was one of the
most popular cadets at Annapolis. He
won a reputation first on the football
field which is game that calls for the
same Qualities as are necessary in sol
der and a commander-physi bravery,
clear. quick judgment. and speedy ac,
ton. He was graduated IN 1880, ana mao
high rank in his class.
And Worth Bagley stood high in tho
estimation of his superior officers. as wei
as with the cadets. He was first as
signed to the Maine. But he begged fol
service on torpedo boat. This service
requires the best officers. and it is the
most dangerous. That is why Worth
Bagley wanted it. No officer so young

Both regiments now in camp here are
preparing to have fine bands. The old
Fourth Regiment band, under Captain
A. w. Freeman, of Waynesville, has
been recognized as the First Volunteer
Regiment band, and is practicing daily.
New instruments have been ordered,
and will probably arrive in a few days.

ment, yesterday appointed DIR. J. w.

of the regiment With the experience
Or. Griffith has had in the past and with
the patriotic feeling with which he en-
ters the service, it is pretty certain that
the Second regiment will have band

will inspire the boys in ranks to pu;
forth every effort and make the Second

Steps will be taken at once to organize
the band from the companies in the regi-
ment, two musicians being taken from
each company. But should sufficient
number not be found, men who have had
experience in band service will be enlist
ed for the purpose.
TO this end DIR. Griffith desires the
News and Observer to say that he wants
two men who have had experience in
band business, to fill the ranks of his
band. ANY one wishing to enlist for the
band is requested to report at Camp
