| Today the people of North Carolina
pay homage to the heroes who in the
COS made the supreme sacrifice of hui
man life on the battlefield.
1 All over the State are graves of these
heroes and wherever they sleep their
resting places will be garlanded in

! No idle form this or empty ceremony
To the people Of the Southland it means
much. The tears of otler days are
now dry, but the scar is left and the
dull pang of sorrow throbs again as we
remember the "unreturning brave" And
so with bowed heads, we pause for a
day to remember the dead, review with
the living that epic tragedy in which
both acted we'll their part, and bring
! garlands to testify to our love and
grateful remembrance.
Peace rules over the land, the ma
ton is united but that does not forbid
the South laying cross of immortelles
upon the sod that covers her slain. It

the custom, for there are no vanished

All over the State today graves will
be decked and orations appropriate for
the occasion delivered.
Raleigh will celebrate the day in a

ARSENAL BILL FAILED.
Representative Graham's Bill Was Lost on its
Second Reading.

There is no act of the General Assem-
bly, providing for money for the removal
of the old State Arsenal from the corner
OF the capitol grounds. This is stated
positively after a close examination of the
journals of Doth the House anc the Sen
ate.
Representative Graham dii try to have
such a bill pass, but it went astray in
the Senate after Il ran up against snags
in the way of substitutes and amend
ments. On March 18th Mr.. Graham in
troduced bill No. 2165 in the House, its
title being "A bill to be entitled an Act
to provide for the removal of the State
Arsenal and to provide place for the
temporary deposit of State Records
This set aside as much of $500 as was
necessary for the removal of the State
Arsenal and tie storing of public records
in It
The bill passed its three readings sue
cessfully in the House on March eleventh
and was sent to the Senate the same day
where it was read and placed on the
calendar as bill No. 1888. On the thir-
teenth it came up for it's second reading.
Senator Henderson offered a substitute

The valedictory address by Charles

THE Triumph of Civic Righteousness"
and was pitched on a most hopeful key
Difficulties were found only to be sur
mounted, clouds in the political horizon
were pointed out only to be dispersed and
grave problems were suggested but to be
solved before your eyes
THAT disease of the nations-great
wealth in the hands of the few-is rapid
ly healing up" he said. Men who have
great fortunes are spending them to help
their fellow men. The laborer and the
capitalist are sharing the profits OF their
mutual toll, and colleges and churches
are everywhere being endowed Only last
year $50, 0O0, 900 was given to schools in
America
The speaker expected right to always
triumph in the end, and government to
become more and more the hand maiden

ment of oppression

rule, and when he is king of all the earth
the triumph of civic righteousness will be

State Superintendent Toon's address in
awarding the diplomas was short, but
most appropriate. He declared that, as
head of the public school system OF the
State, he was proud of such an institution
as Shaw, and he rejoiced in it's prosper
ity, its growth in numbers and influence
and he congratulated its friends on its
spIe ndid work and excellent management.
Then turning to the young men and
women upon whom he was about to con-
fer degrees, he said
'You are standing to day at the bright,
dancing waters that divide childhood from
manhood and womanhood. You have
come to the parting of the ways. So far
you have been guided in your thoughts
and directed in your course, henceforth
you must make your own path and form
your own career.
I'm doing this let me say to you, seek
not notoriety The way to fame lies not
that way. but there is a royal road to
fame, and that is be true to yourself
true to your fellow man and the God over
head.
''On each of you rests great response
bility. The greater your attainments hers
the greater your responsibility as you &C

WATER AFFECTS MILK.
Cows Drink from StaEnant Pool Commits a Crime.

We hear some things that we find hard to believe in the way of the treat ment of dairy cows. One of these things is that there are here and there pastures in which the only watering place is stagnant pond full of in- sects and slimy grasses. It is won der that cows can drink such stuff and still remain healthy, but it is certain that they take chances on acquiring some one of the water-borne diseases common to stock. No human being should be asked to drink milk made out of such water, even after. it has been strained through the COW. It is claimed that other owners are known to water their cows out of rain wa ter barrels. Well, that is only slight improvement over the stagnant pond method. The water in the rain water barrel soon takes on a smell that is disagreeable to man and beast. Why can't our COWS have at least pure water to drink? Water, pure and sparkling, enters very largely into the life of every being. Let us be sure that the milk we drink is made from water and food absolutely pure.- Farmers Review.

BETTER THAN CHRISTIAN
 SCIENCE.

Jetmore, Kan, July 1st.-Mrs. Anna Jones Freeman, daughter of MT. c. G. Jones, Of Burdett, and one of the most popular ladies in Hodgeman County, has been martyr to head ache for years. It has made her life continual misery to her. She suf- fered pains in the small of the back, and had every symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trouble.
 To-day she is as well as any lady in the state.
 This remarkable change was due entirely, to a remedy recently intro duced here. It is called Dodd's Kid ney Pills, and many people claim it to be an infallible cure for Kidney Dis eases, Rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
 Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid ney Pills, and almost with the first dose she grew better. In a week her headaches and other pains had gone, and she had left behind her all her illness and days of misery.
 A medicine that can do for any one what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for this lady, is very sure soon to be universally used, and already the de- nannd for these pills has increased wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge man Counties, where the particulars of Mrs. Freemans case and its cure are known.

 Ethiopia is half-orphan, the scarce ly-to- be-regretted author of his being having departed, year ago, after a "hot time" in this life to the probable enjoyment of something of a similar de- scription elsewhere.

GOOD AND BAD MIXERS.
Why Dairymen Should Make Occa- siOnal Tests of the Milk from
 All Their Cows.

At milking trial held in connection with one of the recent summer shows in England the COW which was awarded the first prize produced ever six gal Ions of milk in the day, and her milk was so rich in quality that 1t produced over four pounds of butter. At the same show there were on exhibition other cows of the same breed and practically the same size and weight which produced only two to three gal Ions of milk and barely one pound of butter. It would be mistake to sup pose that the feeding of one of the last-named would cost as much as the six-gallon COW, because, as a rule, the better milker cow is the more food will she consume. It is only natural that COW yielding six gallons of milk should require much more lib- eral food ration than one producing less than half that quantity. The diff ference in the cost of feeding the cows in question would not, however, be anything like so marked as their rela- tive milk yields would suggest In practice 1t is found that cows pro- ducing only 11s gallons to two gallons that is, six to eight quarts-per day cost as much to keep as those yielding double that quantity. It is only when calculations of this kind are gone into that the difference between good and bad milkers can be properly estimated. At least occasional tests should be made of the milk which all the cows in the herd are producing, and similar test should be made of the food which they are consuming, and if it is found, as it is to be feared will be only too frequently the case, that the animals are not giving sufficient return for the cost of the food which they are disposing of, they should be got rid of at the first opportunity and their places filled by others capable of giv- ing better return for the food Farmers Gazette.

Importing German Potatoes.

It may seem strange that Germany should be able to establish an export trade with America in potatoes, yet such is the case. So far the shiplne nt S made have been small, but the indica- tions are that the volume will increase. Orders for next season are heavy. The German potatoes are smaller than ours. Those exported are known to the trade as "old potatoes" and are to be used almost entirely by the large hotels making potato salad. Amer jeans should supply this demand by purchasing seed potatoes in Germany and raising them at home. They could be sold at a greater profit than is made on the potatoes now grown, as the Germans can afford to raise them, pay freightage and our import duty of 25 cents a bushel and still find the busi- ness nerative.-ToroDtc Mail.
