SCHWARTZ BACK AGAIN

Judge Lindsay came down to his
pace of business at the corner OF
Fifth and Jackson streets Tues lay
fully resolved to break the record, and
everything else in sight. He was go
ing to do business in q way that would
astcnish the natives. He started the
game by fining Jack Bradshaw 500 for
selling liquor and maintaining
nuisance. He also gave Charles Heit-
man, the owner of the property where
bradshaw held forth, scare that
should last him several days. He was
pI omised a personal dose if he .chipped
in" on another key with Mr. Brad
shaw. Bradshaw's case was promptly
appealed. Then he began on the minor
offenders, and a perfect fusillade of
discharges followed. A bicycle cleaner
who thought he was a victim of cruel
circumstances had his case thrown out
with a dull thud. This person, Chas.
Brown by name, was supposed to have
been the party who pawned a wheel to
~. Capland, Monday Capland and ms
daughter positively identified Brown
as the raiser of funds, but when he
was sworn Tuesday he wasn't so sure.
He didn't care so much, anyway The
owner of the bicycle had reimbursed
him, therefore his tender heart was
softened toward the suspect, for the
jingling Of the guinea helps the hurt

Brubaker and Sage, the two young
m en- who were holding a progressive
bone party on the sidewalk In North
Topeka, arrived in due time dressed in
their work clothes and a sheepish look.
Judge Jamison handled their case in
very mastery manner, admitting the
truth of the charge, but calling the
attention OF the court to the fact that
they were labOring men, and had never
been arrested before. Discharged
said the court, as his mind carried him
back to the days when he used to bind
wheat in Kearny county.
Judge Jamison also made a talk for
Ross Mays, charged with shifting w.
Chamherlin- In this case also did
the attorney plead guilty for his client,
and then get him of easily by the
power of suggestion. Mays was dned

There were nine graduates at the close
of the session of Chowan Baptist Female
Institute this year. This old and useful
institution is under the presidency OF
Hon. John C. Scarborough one of the first

The sermon by DR.. VIM. B. Royal, D..

lives of the young graduates and pupils
for whom and to whom the preacher
spoke.
Hon Edward w. Pou delivered the an
nual address. He did himself great
credit The true Aristocrat of the Twen-

an address worthy of the man and of the

Crosses of Honor to Confederates.

At the Memorial exercises on the 10th
of May, Crosses of Honor we're presented
TO Confederate soldiers who had dis
tinguished themselves during the War Be-
tween the States. At washington. N. c.,
where Memorial Day is universally OBJ
served and made a holy holiday, a noble
Christian woman. Mrs. w. H. Call, in
presenting the Crosses of Honor to sew
enty-fve Confederate soldiers, referred
to the origin of these decorations of
honor in her eloquent address The first
Cross of Honor was presented to Rev.
n Harding, who accepted them for him
self and his seventyfour comrades. In
making the presentation, Mrs. Call said
in part:
at is my supreme honor today of rep
resenting seventy-fiv children, in whose
hopeful veins flows the heroic blood or
their fathers, and each one descendant
of a Confederate veteran. After four de-
cades have passed away, since that I'M
equal struggle closed, yet the children
are eager to flood the carols of praise,
the deeds of the Confederate soldier
throughout this south land. Not for
fame, nor riches, nor renown, did you
for your rights. Your cause is immortal
Principles founded or truth will live for
ever Your shield is without stain
The sun set of the century just closed.
with it's rich opal setting, no ray adds
more TO it's shimmering splendor than
the history of the supremest struggle of
all modern times. Your courage and
fidelity through such trying circumstances
and the devotion of the southern women
for the sad, piteous days of the Lost
Cause will ever make the sun set of the
Nineteenth Century more gorgeous in its
departure. Every race, all ages, tell the
story in legend and song of their heroes.
Such you are We should teach the chill
dren the story of their patriots.
Perhaps an explanation is here neces-
sary. When the Daughters of the Con-
federacy held their convention at Hot
Springs, Ark. Mrs. S. E. Gabbett, a
southern woman. who married an Irish
Count, had brother killed in the Con-
federate service to whom she was devot-
edly attached; she told of an iron cross in
the possession of her husbands family,
priced more than gold or rubies. The
words of this patriotic woman kindled
an inspiration within the breasts of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. These
fair women are the custodians of the
honor of the Confederate soldier. AS
roses when crushed, exhale their sweet
est perfume, so these daughters with
crushed hopes, are ever ready to scatter
sweetest fragrance along the pathway of
the Confederate soldier as he journeys on
to join the innumerable hosts along the
''dusky way"
I'm 1855, when some of the soldiers came
back from the Crimean War to London,
the Queen of England distributed among
them medals, called Crimean Medals. A
great audience witnessed the presenta-
tion. The Queen of England arose and
in the name of her government uttered
