NO WAR FOR WASH.
Even Life Insurnnce for His Intended
Wife Couldn't RecOnciie Him
to the Case.

Wash Howard, young colored man
Of ability as sinner, has stand on
Vine street. Before ne came to town
he was indirectly connected with q
militia company in some town up the
state. His rank was Sergt. Sinner, and
when the company went to camp Wash
went along. IL Is needless to say that
he enjoyed himself hugely, as he had
a uniform Of his own design, bearing on
the sleeves in yellow cloth backing
brush, rampant.
Last week his old captain was in the
city, and he ran across Wash. About
the first thing Wash talked of was the
war;
"What you think. cap, Is dey goin' ter
be wnh fuh shuah?"
Il wouldn't be surprised, Wash, was
the answer, "and you'll have to 60"
"What have ter 60 fun? Ihain'tgot
muffin agln dem Cublans and dey aint
got muffin agin me, reckon"
well. in case Of war, you know, wo
can't choose. We have to go when duty
calls u.s."

"Never mind that, Wash. You just
get your life insured and marry the
girl, and when you are killed she will
get the money and be well provided for,
to say nothing of a pension"
Dat won't do dis nlgguh any good.
She'll just get married agin, and den the
two Nv 'em will blow In all the stuff.
Do you remember ole Hen Jesse. Now

The Mind nv a disease Producer.

We know that q congested liver pro-
duces gloom, perhaps leading to sui
eide. Another kind Of gloom is per
haps due TO a congested spleen. A dis
orderly heart produces apprehension of
coming danger. Certain intestinal con-
ditions produce fear. Morbid condi-
tious Of other organs mar the sense Of
strength and manhood OF wTnanliness
We know also a few converse TRUTHS:
That gloom of despair may induce

CAPTAIN GRIDLEY, OF THE OLYM-
PIA

There is something more than or
dinarily pathetic in the recent death
Of Captain Charles Y. Gridley, the
captain of the flagship Olympia
which opened the Manila fight one
month ago.
When Captain Gridley, in obedi-
ence to the commands Of his superior
officer. began the famous battle
which was destined to confer such
honor on the flag, he was far from
being in vigorous physical con-
dition; but realizing the Importance
OF remaining at his post of duty, he
endaVored to conceal his ill-health.
This he did successfully until the
tight ended. Cntlinchingly he faced
the batteries of the enemy from his
exposed position in the coming
tower, little thinking of himself in
that supreme hour of the nations
peril. But. when the fight ended
with victory for the Stars and Stripes
Captain Gridley found himself IN
able to discharge his duties longer.
Medical investigation soon disclosed
the fact that his condition was ex-
tremely critical, and Admiral Dewey
endorsed his immediate return home.
On reaching Toxic, Japan, the maladv
from which the brave captain suffered
at once developed fatal symptoms,
and under foreign skies death came
at last to his relief. What adds to
the sorrow of the sad affair is that
his faithful wife, who had so fer
vently rejoiced over his escape from
death in the perilous conflict of
Manila was in the act of LEAVING
home for San Francisco to meet her
husband at that port, when she re-
celved the news of his unhappv
death rf'
While Captain Gridley received
no outward wound IN the battle of
Manila, he is none the less the
victim of his heroism in that glorious
struggle. and the American people
VIII gratefully bestow upon him the
well-earned wreath of m artvrdom.-I

WAR is not only what Gen. Sher-
man said it was but it is expensive
as we'll. Here is a small item which
will give some idea perhaps. The
Raleigh Post says: The expense ac-
count incurred in mobilizing the
North Carolina troops here and at Fort
Macon has been passed. 1t includes
the transportation of the First Regi-
ment to Jacksonville, Florida, and
amounts to $35, 1000" And this does
not include equipment either, which
must reach an enormous sum. And
all this before the troops can be
placed on a war footing.

ANOTHER Southern man mas sue
cessfully accomplished difficult I'M
dertaking and added laurels to his
fame and the prestige of American
arms and strategism. To set aside
finally all doubts as to the position
of Cevera's fleet in the bay at San
tiago, Admiral Sampson dispatched
Lieutenant Blue, South Carolinian,
(born in Richmond county, N. CO. on
land trip around the harbor. He
travelled y miles and came back with
definite information as to the posi-
ton of the Spanish vessels. He saw
them all. His feat was most daring
and received the highest praise. You

time when it comes to the perform
ance of a difficult and daring deed
requiring pluck, perseverance, skill
and heroism, whether on land or
water.

THE WORK OF THE VESlyIus

The most important development
of the past week in connection with
the present war consists of the deadly
work accomplished by the pneu-
matte guns of the Vesuvius in demol-
ishing with only three charges the
principal fertilization on the western
side Of Santiago harbor.
Until the success of the Vesuvius in
perlmenting with these improved
instruments of death, naval officers
were disposed to feel that they were
more or less uncertain. This ex-
plains why it is that the Vesuvius
has not been much in evidence until
the present time. In the projectiles
used by the Vesuvius in its deadly
work there are charges of guncotton
ranging from 100 to 500 pounds; and
the fear which naval officers have felt
is that these projectiles might ex-
plode before leaving the guns But
there is no longer any cause for ap-
prehension on this score since the
Vesuvius has acquitted herself with
such credit.
10 illustrate the difference in de-
structlve forces between the guns of
the Vesuvius and the guns of any or
binary battleship, the guns of the
latter might carry on their work for
some time without demolishing the
objects at which their proiectiles
were aimed. while the guns of the
former produce almost instant death
and destruction, leaving nothing be-
hind but pulp and ashes This is
the tragic story written in the three
shots fired by the Vesuvius last week.
II one single Spaniard escaped it was
by some marvellous intervention.
Thus it is that the Vesuvius takes
ITS place not only as one of the dead
lest members of our American fleet,
but as one of the most destructive
engines of modern warfare-Atlanta

So FAR as we have observed the
high schools of North Carolina were
never better than now. They are
very important in the educational
system of our State, and it would be
at the peril of a decided decay in the
breadth and perpetuity of education
II they were to disappear or to lower
the standard at which thew aim.
They stand between the primary
schools and the best possible colleci-
ate system. and are indeed the main
feeders and suStainers of those in
situations that seek to impart the
highest attainable education. i
would be indeed sad time for North
Carolina if the really successful high
schools distributed so wisely in the
different sections We're to discontinue.
IT would be equivalent to striking
down most important factor in an
educational plan that is being we'll
worked now. and that is really ac-
comprising no little for the coming
generation in spite of pessimistic
carPlng and an active spirit of de-
traction. Let the high schools be
pushed and let them broaden and
strengthen until they meet every
