eral Of the Christian Endeavor societies of

good occasion for patriotic service owing
to Independence day being near at hand.
and that, accordingly, instead OF the usual
delegation, the entire society was invited to
take charge of the meeting at Fort Mycr.
and over thirty members attended The
ccmmandant furnished horseless carriages
for the visitors, in the shape of wagons
drawn by mules, which conV eyed the work
ers from the terminus of the avenue cars
to the fort.
Upon arriving at the fort the room set
apart for the service was found to be hand
somely decorated with flags and well filled
with soldiers, as well as ladies and children
from the garrison. Forty-seven soldiers
were present, and the meeting was declared
to be a decided success. The program and
special music had been prepared by the
good citizenship committee and Mr.. Crit
tenden, vice president of the society, pre-
sided.
The subject for the evening when Is a
Nation Safe?" was treated in a threefold
aspect, Mr.. Greenlees, one of the elders of

Strike situation Remains Unchanged

The situation Of the steam filters strike
remains unchanged. None of the men has
returned to work upon the terms submitted

craft had arrived in Washington from other
cities in response to advertisements printed
in Baltimore. Philadelphia and elsewhere
from the former employers of the strikers
and that when the visitors were informed
Of the status Of affairs here, they declined
to accept employment and returned to the

oLNEY,s SUPPORT OF BRYAN.

Vim. f.. Curtis, himself a Republi-
can, in writing to the Chicago Record
independent Republican, says that
Richard Olney's support OF Bryan is
the most important feature OF the cam
paign so far in the way OF bringing
back to the Democratic ranks the gold
bugs who left it in 1896. Mr.. Curtis
writes as follows:
That the action OF Richard Olney in
advocating the election OF M. Bryan
will have great weight with the gold
Democrats and the independents who
cut loose from the Democracy in 1896
is not to be questioned. Aside from
the force of the arguments he presents,
Mr.. Olney's personal example is not tc
be reckoned lightly. He is a mar OF
positive character, strength OF convic
lions and ability. Many OF The old-iine
Cleveland Democrats have come to re-
gard him as the legitimate successor o
their former leader.

Az the recent reunion Of the Grand
Army OF the Republic in Chicago, res
olutions were adopted denouncing the
histories used in the schools OF the
South as keeping alive sectionalism.
This was the most clear-cut act OF Inn
prdeuce and impertinence that we have
ever heard OF. For many years The
school histories published in the North,
and which have even been foisted upon
the South by arrogant BOOK trusts,
have been sectional and have kept
alive prejudice by calling every South
erner who fought for the cherished In
situations of his country II rebel or
traitor. The north has been glorlneo
and the South m~aligued in school his
tories fcom the day Lee surrendered at
Appomatox down to the present time.
And now the delicatsly constituted
feelings OF G. A. Il. members are
shocked, because, ~forsooth, the people
of the South are beginning to assert
their rights along this line and are
publishing their own school ook and
putting in the hands OF their children
histories which treat the great civic
strife from the standpoint OF absolute
fairness TO both sides. Southern pa
pars, Southern veterans and Southern
educators have taken the matter uI
and the result will be that the school
histories published by Republican BOOB
trusts in the rioting city OF New Yorf
or in cultured Boston or Cincinnati, vii
be rapidly weeded out OF this section
and in their place will be put book
published in the South and written BY
Southern authors.
All that is asked by our people |
fairness. They fought for what the.
believed to be right and the Southern
blood that flowed like water on a thou
sand battle fields is sacred memory
THAT memory will be inculcated ant
our children will be taught the glorl
Gus deeds and noble aspirations OF thel
fathers.

Everywhere and from all sources were

Mr.. w. II. Witty, Familiarity known
and loved as "Hub" Witty, was one Of
the finest ana most admirable young
men in Mississippi. Though young In
years, by his sterling qualities Of heart
and mind, by his splendid business
capacities, aud by the genial and at
tractive attributes OF his personal char
acter. he had already .ests blished Tor
himself a high position in the love, ad-
miration and confidence OF a host OF
friends and OF the communities where
he was known. Only a few years past
his majority, he had been placed by
his townsmen of Winona at the head OF
municipal affairs, and in that sphere
as in all others, he gave great promise
of usefulness and ability. He was just
such a specimen of young manhood az
we are sometimes want to describe as
the ideal and exemplar for young men
