Towns that ale Deserted.

1t is strange" said A. w. Proctor,
ito see how towns, as soon as their
commerce is taken away from them,
dwiudle aud die. Several years ago I
was travelling in the mountains Of
North Carolina. One afternoon after
having looked for place where I |
could lodge for the night, arrived |
at the summit Of mountain. There
in the distance I saw what supposed
to be prosperous town. / decided
that I would 60 straight to it and put
up ct some hotel. On arriving there
found houses enough, but there were
no people in chem. The place is, or
was, known as Bald Mound, end had
once been q thriving mining town.
There was large copper mine close
by, and thore was a smelter in the
surburbs. There were several nice
looking dwellings, several churches,
and found later that there had been
6 bank there. I looked everywhere for
q human being but could not fiud
single person.
~ became interested and determin-
ed to eolve the mystery I found an
old woman, and from her I learned
the history of the deserted village.
| A few years before it had been pros
porous town of nearly 1000 inhabi-
sants. Most Of the inhabitants were
miners end worked in the copper minea
close by. But che men who owned
che mines dissolved partnership, and
4 in settling up affairs there was some
difference, and lawsuit was begun
thereby throwing all Of the company
property into the courts. The affairi
OF the company thus became tied up
and no work could be done. AS The
town was g mining town, the inhabi
tants we're destitute. One by one
they left until the only inhabitan,
was this old woman. She had remained
having NO other place to go.
! "Several months later I was travel
Ting through Alabama. had almost
forgotten the dead town that I saw ir
North Carolina, when one day I cam,
upon another. 1t was known as Ca
tawba. There was not a person there

learned that this, too, had been pros

Jefferson Davis Birthday

Jefferson Davis Birthday.
Birmingham Age Herald.
The anniversary day of Jeffer-
son Davis falls on the third day
of June, in the season of blossoms
and fruitful sunshine-in the
season, too, when no other holi-
day occurs in the South. The
Age-Herald sees no reason there
fore why the day should not be-
come, as Representative Pettus
proposes it shall legally pc, a
holiday. The man who stood for
the idea of state sovereignty in
the South deserves to be remem>
bered, wholly regardless of the
fortune Of the effort.
The cause for which he
battled with every energy of
his nature was the cause of the
South, and the mere fact that it
was lostgin the tumult. of battle
does not render Jefferson Davis
less representative or less worthy
of remembrance
It will hurt no one to give a
few hours Of day in each June
to a recollection of the heroic
struggles Of the war, and Of the
man who led them. It is not a
matter that any American can
say is unnatural and unpatrioiic.
l. Involves no want of patriotism
in the Republic. L reopens No
old issu-s. MIR. Pet'us simply
proposes memorial and CON
memorative day in which tender
ness a1d sympathy and loving
| thoughts will bave place. and
| the Age-Heraid heartily seconds
his efforts towards making the
June day in question q State holi
day.

MAC ARTHUR SAYS INSUR-
GENTS ARE STRONGER
THAN EVER.
Statement Made That the United
States Cannot Hope to Con-
tend With the FilipinOS
Unless Heavy Reinforce
mentS Are Sent to
Him At Once.

Washington, November 90
The situation in the Philippine Is
lands will be taken up by the
Cabinet at its meeting tomorrow,
and plans will be discussed for
pressing the campaign.
The administration, it is said,
has been disturbed by reports
which have recen ly reached the
War Department concerning the
conditions in the islands. An Off
cial of the department said to the
Times correspondent to-day that
when General Macarthur arrived
at Cavite on board the Brooklyn
after an inspection of Subig Bay,
he found a curt dispatch from
Washington awaiting him.
The message was forwarded on
Friday last by Adjutant General
Corbin, by order Of the President,
and reprimanded the comman der
of the Department of the Philip
pines for his dilatory tactics. The
President ordered him to begin at
once an active campaign against
the insurgents, so that the war
might be stamped oat.
General Corbin received a re-
ply to the the message to-day and
is sail to be somewhat put out
over the contents. In the cable
gram General Macarthur de-
:ends his course of action, aud
points to the daily lists of casu all
ties as an evidence of his active
campaign.
It is also acknowledged that
the insurgents are stronger today
than ever before, and that the
United States cannot hope to
successfully contend with the
opposing forces unless heavy re-
| in torcements are sent at once.
General Macarthur further
states that the news Of the re>
| suits OF the election in the Uni
ted States has had no effect on
the natives save to inspire the n
with greater activity, and tina
the outlook promises no speedy
end to hostilities. Macarthur
claims that he has scattered his
forces over an enormous area

SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE
ASLEEP TOGETHER AT
BENTONSVILLE
Their Heroic Work For Human
ity in Caring For the Wound
ed and Burying the Dead
From That Historic Battle
field in the War Between the
States.

On the 10Th day of March,
1865 was fought the fierce battle
of Bentonsville, almost the last
decided engagement IN the great
war between the States. The op-
posing generals were Joe johnson,
with his depleted but unvanquish-
ed division of Confederates, and
Vim. T. Sherman, and his Co
horts, flushed with their brilliant
'smarch to the sea. :"
Sherman thought to there an
nihilate Joe johnson and his little
army of heroes; but the latter in
that fight displayed that military
acumen and steadfastDess OF soul
and unperturbed heroism which,
had he not been so unjustly sup
planted in the earlier stage of the
war, might have changed the
whole destiny of the Confederacy;
and when History comes to chron-
icle with impartial hand the truths
of that memorable conflict, cover
ing four years of our national life,
it will give Gen. Joe johnson
rank second to none of the South's
great soldiers and commanding
generals.
But we have digressed from the
purpose with which we started out
to write this chronicle. All know
the result of the Bentonsville fight.
Many are living in this city, and
along the roads leading hence to
that place, who remember how
Sherman's forces were routed and
sent flying back to this city, seek
ing succor from Burnside and
SchoGeld; while GIN. johnson,
taking advantage of the rout, hur-
ried ON in the hope Of joining Lee
in Virginia; but got only as far as
Durham. But, sgain we are di-
gressing.
There were left On the field Of
Bentonsville many dead and dying
and dangerously wounded Conftd-
crates. who could not be looked
after by toe army corps 10 the dire
calamity that pressed upon Gen .
johnson; aud when the tide OF
conf ct rolled back and the din OF
retreatipg forces died away, these
"poor unfortunates' seemed lef1
to their fate, and scores of them
breathed out their noble souls
through avenues of exquisite pair
and fevered thirst, with only th'
soft spring winds through tn
soughing pines to sob in serroV

years of usefulness, and others
down to death, bathing the few
cred brow with soft touch and
cooling balm and soothing the
parched lips that could not ask
for water, and sending the de-
parting souls on wings of prayer
before the Mercy Seat of God.
And these two gave burial to the
battle slain and to those. who died
in their home.
Noble twain! They deserve
this to be told of them $50 the
last syllable of recorded time"
And the ARGUS takes this sad
occasion to pay this its humble
tribute to their memory.
Some three years ago Mr.. Har-
per died, and on Saturday lest
the sainted soul of his good wife,
at the ripe age of 80 years, went
forth to join him in the eternities
of God. And it was meet that she
should 60. How rich her reward,
and his-their reward! not only
to live in hearts they leave be-
hind for all time; but the joy of
"seeing His face" for all eternity!
Death found her asleep, and SO
it simply sealed forever the eye
lids of her who was unafraid.
That ending of life which has ter
rifed all mankind from the be-
ginning was to her not terror,
aud if she was warned of it's COM
ing she must have bidden it well
come; for to her it meant peace
and rest:-sweet to rest after the
fever of long day Of toll, with its
gifts and denials; it's hoping and
its refusing, and lis irreparable
loss to her in the cleaning; for
with the load of the years came
that sorrow that did not lift-the
death of her devoted husband, and
the old shoulders bended lower and
lower until the old lips at length
kissed the cool earth, come to
gather its own to its bosom, and
| so rest her at last, with the stars
as vestai lights, in the slumberous
shades of a solitude we mark with
grave stones and call peace.
"Thou shalt come to thy
grave" saith the Lord, sin full
age like as stalk of corn cometh
to his season." In the quiet grave
yard on the old homestead at
Bentonsvll!e, she rests with him
whose hand for more than fifty
| years held her OWE, aud for a
touch Of which she never ceased
to yearn after it had been folded
above faithful heart that in old
age was youthful.
And shall they know each other
there? The poet Bryant express.
es the answer-the hope Of
ev.ry bereaved soul, when he u t.
tered the thoughts of his heart
to the memory of his departed d
wife:-
Yes, I shall know thee in the spher
that keeps
The disembodied spirits of the dead
When all of thee that time could
wither, sleeps
And perishes among the dust w
tread.
J For I shall feel the sting of cease
less pain
If there meet thy gentle pressure
not,
Nor hear the voice of love, nor reat
again
