test on the field of battle and in the
councils of the State. The heroes
of the South in her great conflict
were all Christians. Robert Z. Lee
and Stonewall Jackson and Leonidas
Polk and the other great leaders,
each worshiped reverently at the
cross of Christ. Not in name only
but in fact and in truth, they were
the servants of the Most High, re-
cognizing his rights over them and
their duties to him. 1t will be a
sad day for us if the poisonous
skepticism that floats upon the
atmosphere of this modern world
should inoculate the rising gem
Grafton with its germs.

REAR ADMIRAL SCHLEY

was the guest of Memphis
this week and many from
the surrounding country were
present to see and to do honor
to the hero Of Santiago. The
beautiful silver service, pur-
chased by 49, Of his ads
mirers, was presented Nom
day afternoon at the Audi
forum. The presentation
speech was made by Hon.
Thomas B. Turley. Admiral
Schley, in accepting the gift,
responded as follows: "Sena-
tor Turley, Mr.. Chairman,
and my dear, sweet friends
There are moments in life
which occur to all of us when
our heart speaketh more than
the mouth, and this, my dear
friends, is one of these occa-
sions to me. | have no pow
er of words to express myself
at this time as l would like
to do. The sweet gift COM
ing from my dear friends will
always be treasured and will
ever recall one of the sweet
est memories of my life. I
shall ever hold the people of
this section in high regard.
The gift shall be most care~
fully treasured. 1t comes to
me from friends who honor
manhood and who are not
afraid to recognize it. 1t is
my opinion that in the fight
off Santiago every man who
participated in it should share
in its glory, however humble
may have been the part played
by any one. 1t was a victory
of the people and the whole
people should share in it. 1t
was a victory that was won
by the unerring aim of the
American marksmen and I
believe that every one who
participated ON that day is
entitled to as much credit as
any other whether high or
low. I was on the Brooklyn
with others, and how we'll
the Brooklyn performed her
duty, the wrecks on the
southern shore of Cuba bear
testimony. The Brooklyn
did about 48 per cent. of the
damage to the Spanish fleet
and received in return about
II per cent, although she
constituted only one-ffth of
the strength of the fleet. She
was in the battle throughout
the contest, the Oregon also
remaining in the fight from
the beginning to the end,
the fight lasting three hours
and forty minutes. The
Brooklyn did great damage,
she sustained great damage
and endeavored to do the
work intrusted TO her by the
people. [ shall always keep
the service of silver as a sweet
memento of my visit here
and [ shall always hold in
great esteem the people of
this section whose affection [
shall ever cherish"

communication:
know that there are no incumbrances
standing against this property before
paying for it, and l also think it would
be an injustice to require an abstract
price allowed for land taken runs from

gin to pay for the abstract"
There was some discussion as to how
the city could best obtain information
as to the validity of the titles to the
property in question. The city attorney
said his department does not have time
to attend to such matters. and it was
decided to refer the matter to the com .
mittee on claims and accounts. with
authority to employ a professional alb

any mortgages stand on the records

necessary to have complete abstracts

and sanitation committee with power to
act, and the committee went ahead and
bought $1,000 worth of land. The ways
and means committee has authority to
build any sort of a detention hospital it
pleases. No limit is placed on the cost.

committee, Frank Blanch submitted last
