Col. Armfield's Farewell to His Men
(CharlOtte NeWs.)


Just before the breaking of camp
at Savannah the First North Caro-
lima Regiment was reviewed by Col.
Armfield. In addressing himself to
his men the gallant colonel said:
"Fellow Soldiers: Now that the
time of our separation is near at
hand, desire to express to you my
appreciation of your services to your
country and the very able manner in
which you have performed every
duty.
''At the beginning ours was new
and undisciplined regiment; now it's
the equal of any in discipline and eff
ticiency. This is due to the undivi-
ded support of both officers and men
alike.
"You have done your duty well. l
wish for each one of you a safe jour
ney to that home you left for your
country's sake, and long and use
full career in life"
The parting words of Col. Arm
field were received with cheers by
his men, who would have followed
him anywhere he might have led.
"Give me liver regulator and 1 can

druggist handed him bottle of DeWitt's

OUR NATIONS HEROES.
There Are New Graves to Deck on
This Memorial Day.

This shall be the truest Memorial
been a nation. There are new graves
to be reverently decked with flowers,
the last abiding place of brave and
devoted men who gave their lives
for an oppressed people.
There is no North. no South, no
East, no West. We are brothers in
blood, in heart, in hand, whole
united people. The hatreds of the
Civil war have lost their venom and
are forgotten. A splendid and jubi-
liant patriotism have welded the peo-
pie of the nation with indissoluble,
unbrcakable bonds.
SO it shall come about that the
Memorial day of 1899, in the one hun
dred and twenty-third year of the re-
public, will be a day devoted to its
heroes, and not alone to the men
who fought to preserve its integrity
when it was rent asunder by inter
necine war.
The grizzled, bluecoated veteran
shall make his laborious way to the
cemetery as of yore. Little white
faced maids will march with him and
wagons piled high with flowers shall
follow. Bands shall play the nations
songs. The Declaration of Independ-
ence shall be read. Earnest orators
will ring forth their eloqnence.
But there will be no talk of rebels.
The theme viii be the nations he
roes. They will speak of the splendid
valor and devotion and sacrifices OF
those who made possible the great
ness of the United States.
A people bound together more
closely than any nation of the earth
can clasp hands over the graves OF
Grant and Lee and glory in their
mighty genius, their magniticent
courage, their sublime devotion
They may say, ''How great were we
in opposing each other, how tremen
dous are we together!"

The Unemployed.

The number of able-bodied unemployed
in these United States is variously est
mated at from one to three millions.
Being unemployed, they are also un
paid, and practically destitute.
1t is alleged that their idlencss is en-
forced; that they cannot find employ
ment or masters able to employ and pay
them.
1t would seem that there is no word to
be done, beyond what those now en-
ployed can perform, and that this unem-
ployed million or two or three are super
fuous people.
| They have no business to be in the
world--at least in these states, where
there is neither work nor pay for them.
As they are hard run to get anything
to cat or wear or place of shelter, they
are nuisance and burden to them
selves, but they are much more of a
nuisance and burden to others-they are
a nuisance, from any standpoint.
NHdt SHoultl NC uOllS Will thSni'
Why should they not be treated as
every other nuisance is treated2
There are laws and ordinances by the
thousand on the subject of nuisances,
and they all agree on this one point
that nuisances should be abated
To abate nuisance is to remove it, or
destroy it.
Let us be logical with the human nuis-
ance-and if not, why not?
Let us abate it, by either removal or
destruction.
Now that we are getting some fine
islands about halfway round the world;
we might ship and dump them Thereon
if that is too much trouble, do with
them as New York does with its garbage
put them aboard scows, tow them out
of sight OF land, and dump them into the
ocean.
They might be made useful by becom-
ing bait for fishes.
