COu d Not Spell.
h:ca go News.

Great men are usually poor
spoilers. The man who can spell
perfectly is at sea when he tries
to 1efne words and the man
with a great flow Of language
and the power to get the best
out of words is apt to be careless
about photography. He has no
time for trifes. It is the same as
remembering a date and not be-
ing able to recollect what hap
pened on it. English spelling is
arbitrary and accuracy in it is
simply a chance-a gift such as
lightning calculation.
Few of the great writer's have
been good spoilers. They have
not been concerned themselves
with words except to use them
as they would tools. The only
scraps of writing of Shake
speare's in existence are two
signatures, and these are spelled
differently. Scott, Byron, Tens
nyson and Dickens were wretch
ed spoilers.
It is said Browning was often
in doubt as to the spelling of a
word and had to write it down in
order to see if it looked right be.
fore he was sure. Many ordinary
people are addicted to this little
trick, and it is needless to say
that the eye instead of memory
is responsible for our knowledge
of the correct spelling of many
puzz'ing words in our complex
language.

Daily Argus, Saturday May 10,
AS the years roll on, and ''the
thoughts of men r widened,"
the issues championed by the
Southern Statesmen, and leading
up to the war of the Southern
Confederacy, are coming to be
recognized throughout the nation,
under the light of widening ex-
perience, as the perfection of wis
dom and astute craftsmanship, and
the men who went through the
fiery ordeal of war and down to
death in their defense, fer love of
principle and right, r forever
enshrined in the Temple of Fame
the most glorious heroes the
world has ever known; for success
is not essentially the reward of
heroism, and truth may some
times be crushed to earth, but, in
the eternal years of God, Truth
will prevail aud the heroes who
gave their lives for her deftnse
will receive honor, though centu-
ries roll between.
The women Of the South, pure
of heart and consecrated of life,
pulsing with patriotism and with
the courage of their heaven-born
convictions, have banded them
selves together under an organi-
cation known as "Daughters of
the Confederacy," whose purpose
is to preserve the truth of the
history Of the Southern Confed-
eracy and transmit it secure to
the rising generatiou-and on
coming generations
that the principles of the Lost
Cause may ever prevail in South
ern hearts and that it's heroes
may never be disparaged in the
land consecrated by their blood.
Among other undertakings, it
is the purpose Of the Daughters
of the Contederacy to erect a
monument to Jefferson Davis,
and make it of such imposing
character and enduring nature
as to perpetuate through all the
coming time the Southern PEG.
ple's faith in him and love tor
him. And let the legends inscrib-
ed thereon teach the lesson Of
his life, and tell to all peoples
his %gallantry of spirit, his hero
ism of soul, the righteousness of
the cause he loved with his peo-
pie so we'll, and his pathetic af-
tertime and passing hence. Let
them tell how Fame stopped
him at the gates of sunset and,
as he passed out beyond earth's
sight, placed upon his bra We,
battle-bronzed brow the most
glorious crown ever won by
man, save that of Immortality
from God Himself eternal in the
Heayens-the distinction of be-
ing made the vicarious sufferer
for the people and the principles
he loved. Without citiz snship-
disfranchised by federal edict
born of partisan passionate hate
and resentment, he measured the
years Of his vicariate without a
murmur, and went, at length, to
his long home with abiding faith
in God and looking to the resur>
rection of right judgment in the
hearts of men for his justifca-
ton.
The good women of Goldsboro
God bless them!-have organ
lied here a chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy,"
and it is their purpose at an early
day to give some kind of an en-
tertainment to contribute to the
monument fund, and to this end
the chapter will have a meeting
next Monday afternoon, at $50
o'clock, in the Museum of the
Goldsboro Rifles, and it is urged
and hoped that every woman be-
longing to the chapter will be in
prompt attendance.

AMERICANS AMBUSHED.
DETAILS OF THE DEFEAT OF FIF-
TY MEN OF THE THIRTEENTH
INFANTRY.
The Attempted Uprising on the ISL
and of Negros, in December, Was
n Serious Matter-High Native Of
hciaIs Concerned In 1t.

MANILA, January 21--10 p. m.-The
escort of fifty men of company c, Thir-
teenth infantry, Lieut.. Ralston COM
manding, which was ambushed sal
Lipa, as already cabled, consisted of
fifty convalescents from the hospital,
who yer going to rejoin the regiment.
The insurgents hid in the bushes along
the road and opened fire upon the pack
train from three sides.
The Americans, in addition to their
casualties, were compelled to abandon
the train, which consisted of twenty
two horses. The latter, with their
packs, all fell into the hands of the in
surgents, who pursued the ~retreating
escort for three miles along the road,
until the Americans were reinforced.
Mail advices from Negroes bring par
~ticulars of the uprising last month in
the southern part of the island, in
fantry, was killed. Instead of being an
unimportant revolt of native police,
as was at first reported, it appears to
have been an attempt to overthrow
American authority. The movement
was started by the chief officials of
the autonomous government, the men
who were elected and inaugurated with
so much ceremony last November.
Eleven Of these officials, including
the president and several councillors,
were lodged in Jail on charge OF plot
ting treason. Several secured their re-
lease under heavy bonds, but others
remain in prison.
Gen. Smith had evidence that the
revolving police were following the or
ders of the autonomous government,
which designed to use the forces under
its control to overpower the Ameri-
