NORTH CAROLINA AND THE STAMP ACT

The July number Of the "North
Carolina Booklet" will be written by
that noted scholar, Col. Alfred Moore
Waddell, on the subject "The Stamp
Act Proceedings on the Cape Fear" -
It will be remembered that when DR..
Houston, the stamp master, came to
Wilmington, the people with drums
beating and cOlOrs flying took him
to the court house and made him re-
sign, and with a mournful cortege
burned the efigy of Liberty and
later sever hundred men with arms
in their hands under their chosen
leaders, Ashe and Waddell, marched
to Old Brunswick and~tOOk the crown
officers from the Governors resi-
dence and made them swear not to
issue any stamps, and forced the
BRITISH slOOps OF wal to release two
merchant vessels they had seized be,
cause their papers were not stamped.
Ihls hostile demonstration against
the Royal ships of war was far
DOlder than any other proceeding at
that time elsewhere in America. In
deed, the whole affair was UNIQUE
and picturesque no less than bold
and resOlute.

THE CONQUERED BANNER.

The St. Louis Republic publishes !,
communication from Ida r. Bates, OF
St. Louis In defence Of Father Ryan
in the attempt 10 take from him the
authorship Of the Conquered Banner.
Miss Bates writes:
Zone Christmas when was a very
little girl, went to Father Ryan,
taking a little hookmark, a scroll OF
"The Conquered Banner" which I
begged him to accept l can never
forget how his lips quivered as lie

"Shall l tell yol story about this

that the news was true. Leave me- l

she saw something written upon it.
She said she could scarcely read it for

OUR FRIENDS: COURTESY ALL; NONE
SCRANTON, MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY JUNE z, 1901
THE COMING DAY.

There's happy day that's coming,
And We call 1t by and by;
When our griefs will all be over;
When our tears will sll be dry.
All the gray clouds and the storm clouds
That have overcast our sky
Will be gone and there'll be sunshine,
BY and By.
There are weary hands and toilworn,
They will find rest by and by.
There are sick and racked with anguish
Who will bid their pain goodbye
There are those who wander homeless,
But the mansions placed on high
Will give them homes to dwell in,
BY and By.
All the love our hearts have longed for,
We shall find them by and by.
All the friends SO often parted
Shall have said their last goodbye.
Many friends there are who fail us,
Few on whom we can rely,
But they'll all be true and faithful,
By and BY.

THE NEGROES FOOL FRIENDS,
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution. ,.-.~
Under the above caption the Nor.
folk, Va. Pilot puts volume Of truth
In these fewswords:
1.-THE greatest obstacle to an intel
ligent and fair treatment Of the suff-
rage question in the South is the idi-
Otic gable of "a certain class Of north
crn newspapers. Narrow, ignorant
and bigOte1, they champion the cause
OF the negro, not because they care
rap for the negro, but because they
cherish, for some unaccOuntable rea.
son, an antipathy against a southern
white man. The comments OF this
class OF newspapers have the same ef-
feet on southern extremists that
red flag has on q. bull, and thus the
task OF those in the South who coun.
sci caution, moderation and conserva.
tion is made doubly hard"
The long distance reformers t.
which the Virginia Pilot alludes are
as densely ignorant of the real con
ditions and practical problems in the
South as were Thad Stevens, Oliver
P. Morton and the minor leaders In
the outrageous policy OF reconstruct
ion. They neither knew nor cared
what the true situation was. Their
great object, their dearest desire. was,
not to elevate the negro, but to .hu.
initiate the South, and they knew
that the most effective way to do that
was to put the South under negro
domination. :, ~. f'ri
But, able as these men were in
other ways their fanatical rage had 50
blinded them that they had not the
perception to understand that they
were attempting the impossible, even
when they had the entire. ipower.of
the federal government at their backss
The imitators OF Stephens and Mors
ton will make a still more dismal
failure than their ideal statesmen
did. '''

New York Journal.
Lovely women, you may as well
make up your minds that you wffl
never ride astrfde. The best way 10
ride is on side saddle as yW, lnlve
always done.
Go to any public museum and look
at the statue Of some Greek Venus,
for instance, the Venus known as the
"Venus Accroupie."
After studying the Venus, study
the statue of some young man.
You will discover, to tell the truth
bluntly, that women have round legs
and men have fiat legs.
A. man thus holds the side OF a.
horse firmly and secures good seat
riding astride. .l* d"
1t is ditficult,. il not impossible, for
a woman to hold the horse as firm.

No Venus was ever intended to
ride horseback as lnen ride. ;"

FIREMEN'S HALL
The Sentiment of Fraternity Illustrat-
 ed in Its Decoration.

There is no organization in the city, not excepting the secret societies, whose members are more fraternal or who guard the interests of their or ganization and of each other more jealously than does the Phoenix fire department. It is sid that this in- fluenca is so strong that it even eX- tends to political affiliations, but of social affairs it Is its especial boast.
 The department has new commod- ious and comfortable quarters on the second floor of the city hall and they are as carefully kept as lodge room, while the individual members vie with each other in suggesting things for their mutual comfort, convenience and hcnOr. The headquarters is not mere- ly a big room to loaf in, but is taste fully arranged and gradually, as the finances allow, it Is being beautliied' As a place for official meetings, it Is all that could be desired. The throne" heretofore occupied by the speaker Of the legislative assembly, makes an excellent seat for Chief Fromm, and the floor is large enough to accommo- date the membership of all five of the companies in the department.
 There is one custom of the depart ment that is both pleasing and senti- mental and might well be initiated by more organizations. It may be said to be the fad of the department, and con- sists of decorating the walls with pie lures of everything in which the de- partment has. been interested. The custom was brought to notice in par ticular by the fact that yesterday Chief Fr0mm framed and brought to the hall a handsome picture of the engine com- pany of 1901, with a picture of the en- zine and city hall plaza as center piece. There are also in the hall four other pictures of the engine company, taken at different dates in the last six years.
 The Pioneer hose .company's picture is framed and in evidence, though the other three company pictures are lack ing. X large picture of Chief Fromm is suspended over the presiding officers chair.
 Around the room, tastefully arranged. hang large pictures of all the former members of the department who have passed the portals of death, as far as they have been secured, and the mem bers are constantly on the lookout for those still missing.
 Opposite the chiefs station hangs a large picture of eX-Mayor DHForest Porter, who is said to be the father of the department. and on the walls are seen pictures of Dr. Helm, II. H. Wolf ley, James Lacy John Troops. Oliver
