The room was handsomely decorated
with palms and lilies and plants of
several varieties. Special music had
been prepared and rendered, and the
pastor, Rev. o. L. Smith, preached a
beautiful and appropriate sermon. 1t
is doubtful il the knights ever lis.
tened to a service or sermon that
did them more good.
Rev. Smith took for a text that very
appropriate passage to the well known
story Of Damon and Pythias:
Greater love hath no man than that
he lay down his life for his friend"
(Jno. 1913. He first went back into
Grecian history and told of the status
OF the world at the time and prior to
the dramatic event enacted by Damon
and Pythias. Israel, Greece and
Rome, he affirmed, are the nations
that are still teaching anj moulding
the present from their deeds OF the
past. Israel stood for religion, Greece
for philosophy and Rome for law.
From Greece came the character that
become the teacher that built up such
noble lives as those OF Damon and
Pythias. The Greek always counted
one; other nations were composed of
the mass; the Greek units stood apart.
The lessons Of individuality and free
dom reflected from every phase of
GreciAn life. This CLEAN of light
shot its arrow into the darkness OF
the middle age, and the patriots of
every civilized country of the world
have found their precedents among
the liberties OF the Greeks. Pythago-
ras was the fatherof philosophers and
lived cotemporaneOusly with Homer.
the father OF history. They joined the
colony in southern Italy and founded
a philosophical school, a religious
brotherhood and a political associa-
ton. Pythianism was honored by

chase be celebrated in Kansas City, 10
1903. By a resolution adopted at the
late meeting of the Kansas State Ed.
itorial Association, it was suggested
that this exposition be located at the
two Kansas Cities. The appropriate.
ness of the suggestion is readily ap-
parent.
When, in 1906, three years after the
purchase, Captain Zebulon NJ. Pike
was commissioned by the secretary Of
War to explore Louisiana, make trea-
ties with the Indians, ETC., he was in.
structed, among other things, to re-
port the most eligible locations for
trading posts for the region explored.
After traversing much of the country
and becoming remarkably familiar
with its geography, he wrote from the
Pawnee Republic, an important In.
dian village and stronghold, situated
near the Republican river, in what is
now Republic county, Kansas, nam.
ing the confluence of the "Kanses"
river with the Missouri. That the
young officer should have foreSeen
that the point named was to become
the metropolis of Louisiana is perhaps
too much to assert. There are even
now living intelligent people
who fail to realize it. But the Kansas
editors, with their proverbial scent
for things to be, and with their char
acteristic readiness to go after any
good thing that comes within the
range of their prophetic vision, have
said "Let there be grand centennial
exposition at the mouth of the Kaw
in 1903" Does auy one doubt that it
will come to pass?
The world is now beginning to feel
cramped for room and opportunities
for its people. In five years it win
feel worse cramped than today. The
spare room yet remaining and present.

FORMAL SURRENDER
OF the City of Santiago-Red Cross
Ship Enters Harbor.

SANTIAGO, July 1S.-The city was
at O'Clock this morning. Shafter,
Wheeler, Lawton, Ames and Ludlow,
with eighty officers of lower rank, es-
corted by a squadron of cavalry and
a regiment of infantry, met the Gov
ernor Mayor, Chief OF Police and the
Archbishop of Santiago at the public
square fronting the Cathedral, at that
hour, when the fOrmalities of turning
over the city to the Americans took
place. The Cubans were not officially
represented. The American flag was
raised over the civil government
building at noon and light battery
fired salute of twenty-one guns.
Amid great enthusiasm, the Red
Cross steamship State of Texas, car
rying supplies, with Clara Barton,
entered the harbor. Immediately after
the Spanish gunboat AlvaerZe, which
was surrendered to the Americans,
steamed out of the harbOr flying the
American flag. Twelve smaller yes
sells were also surrendered. The Gu
ban flag waved over Socapa Castle a
few minutes, but it was quickly lower
ed for the American cOlors. MORO
Castle and the batteries in the vicinity
are wrecked as result of the bonn
bardment by the fleet.
The Americans and Spanish troops
are hohnobbing ON the hill sides sur
rounding the city. Shafter and his
commanding officers were given din
ner by the Spanish, who had plenty
of wine, but there was notable scar

TWO RIFLEMEN HERE.
Everybody Glad to See Them-Re-
turned Wednesday.

To the surprise of relatives and
friends, Lieut.. J. A. Goodman and w.
Fl. Chick, of the Forsyth Ritlemen, ar
rived in the city Sunday morning.
They left for Jacksonville on
Wednesday evening. They We're
granted permission to spend few
days at home on their return from
New York, where they carried Oscar
V. and Willie Wigs, two members of
the Goldsboro company, who deserted
and ran away from camp a few weeks
ago. They get three years hard labor
at Governors Island. They will do
all kinds of work. Lieut.. Goodman
says the prisoners and officers were
not allowed to discuss the trial or sem
tence. However, the boys did not APP
pear to be seriously troubled over
their sentence.
Sergeant Wood, of Statesville com
pany, and Elgin Williamson, of the
Charlotte company accompanied
Messrs. Goodman and Chick on the
trip. They returned to their respect
i've homes Sunday to spend few
days.
The party left Jacksonville last week
Tuesday and made the entire trip on
water, out returned Dy rail-.
When asked if he had heard any
talk of the troops being moved from
Jacksonville to Macon, Ga, Lieut..
Goodman replied that he had not, adj
ding that General Lee, when he left,
was having the grounds improved as
if he expected to remain there for a
month or two, at least. The compa-
MES have been doing some hard drill
ing, but they all stood it pretty well,
very few being sick. Charles Shoaf,
am Morgan and Ernest Shepherd are
making fine soldiers. The Forsyth
company is a favorite with the people
of ] Jacksonville.
Captain Bessent met with an acct
dent several days ago, but fortunately
it was not serious. In attempting to
get in door, several feet high, his
foot slipped and he fell, striking the
pit of his stomach. He was able to
get out when the soldiers left there
Tuesday.
Mr.. w. Fl. Chicks family are in
Roanoke. He telegraphed them to
meet him here. They will probably
come in tonight.

SECOND REGIMENT DIVIDED.
Three Companies Passed Through
Greensboro Sunday

Six companies of the Second Reoi-
ment left Raleigh at 7:3O Sunday.
Many of the officers and men of the
six companies remaining went to the
place of embarkation and witnessed
the departure. Col. Burgwyn gave
personal attention to various details
of the embarkation. The Seaboard
Air Line transported three companies
and the Southern three others. The
band of the regiment played on hill
midway between the points where the
troops went aboard the train. The
! first company to leave camp was that
from Tarboro. In % minutes from
the time of the signal its tents were
struck and packed on the wagons, to-
gether with all its camp equipage.
All its men were completely equipped.
This was also the case with Capt. r.
Percy Gray's company from Green's
boro. Each train had fourteen cars
Maj. Gotten, of the Third Battalion
was in command of one train and Mai.
Wilder of the other.
WENT TO SEE THEIR SONS.
DR.. and Mrs. Fl. ]. Thomas and Mr..
Nj. ID. Bailey went to Greensboro on
the early morning train expecting to
see their sons pass through there with
the soldiers Monday. They did not
learn that the boys went through Sun
terday until they reached the City of
Flowers. Mr.. Bailey received tele-
gram Sunday afternoon from his
son, Maurice, saying they would pass
through Greensboro tomorrow /"
The telegram was evidently written
Saturday.

needed here. The men now at San
tiago will be sent North again to re-
cuperate, while fresh troops will com
pose the expeditions. The army of in

sand men. General Miles will have
Generals Brooke and Coppinger as

The winston Company,s Pig.

Gordon 81. Cilley writes the Char
lotte Observer from Jacksonville that
the Winston boys had a pig the other
day, about which there was much of
mystery. When brought into camp,
it was nearly cut in two, and the boys
said it had been killed by a train.
They cleaned it and put it in the oven
to bake. When they came to enjoy it,
after dark, 10, it was gone! No one
knows whence it came nor whittier it
has gone. Nor do the losers deem it
wise to make special inquiry. Com
pany G received three recruits yester-
day from North Carolina. Corporal
Chapman came in from the river a
few days ago, covered with mud and
glory; he had been fishing, made a
good catch, and fell in the river.

COUNTY POLITICS.
Very Little Said as Yet Regarding
the Candidates.

County politics is not being dis
cussed very lively now. 1t is con-
coded that the Republicans will renom-
mate the present officials, with the
possible exception of Register of
Deeds Miller. The insurgents may
demand a colored man for this place,
but it is hardly probable that the
bosses will agree to a NEGRO" going
on the ticket.
Again, the insurgents may ask that
ex-Mayor Crutchfield be given Clerk
Wilson's place, but there is some
doubt as to this request being granted.
1t has been intimated that he can get
the Registers office, but this does not
come from an official source.
OF course it is not known yet who
the Democrats will nominate. There
are a number who favor Bob Near
thur for sheriff. The party has good
material for all the offices and it is
known that only good men will be put

displayed promiscuously over the city.
But few civilians are left in the city.
Most ofthe stores are open, but pat
rons are few. Many beggars are in

among the better classes. An Ameri-
can guard has been placed over the
landing of supplies from the Red Cross
steamer State of Texas. Filth is no
ticeable everywhere; nevertheless the
city is in healthy condition.
Yesterday afternoon a large number
of American transports, fully dressed
in bunting and flags, entered the har-
Dor, making an imposing appearance.
They were greeted by the Spanish in
habitants with laughter and cheering.
The Spanish troops will be embarked
soon for transportation home. The
Concentrating Potomac has arrived to
assist in raising wrecks of Spanish
vessels. The long bridge at Aguadores
has been replaced.

cial address we have yet had.
He said he was exceedingly glad to

He then touched on the response bill

sown and the harvest. He gave a
very vivid and touching description
of the tender recollections of his own

The main theme of his talk was
"Human Nature" He said that
learning the management of folks -
was more difficult than learning his
tory, algebra, trigonometry, Latin,

organized a company of forty two
girls, whom she calls rough riders,
