Coronation Cakes.

In England interest in the browning of
the king has led to the circulation Of reel
pes for coronation cakes. Culinary experts
who supply the recipes advise that they
should be baked in tins shaped like crowns.
They are iced with heraldic devices. Some
cakes are covered with tiny candles out
lining the initials Of the king and queen
Here are two of the recipes:

Of the plant, with blossom like an open

deep golden heart.
The peony is a favorite flower in land

in English gardens assures it a vogue in
America.
The Queen of England, who is a great
flower lover gave the originator of the new
peony permission to call it by her name.
At the same time she requested that some

Never Out of Fashion.

A japanese lady gave an interesting ac-
count Of the ways of her countrywomen in
regard to dress.
"A European lady" said she, may have
ten or fifteen dresses in a year and cast
them aside when done with. IN Japan a
lady will have but very few in a year, but
she keeps them all, so that at the end of
her life she may have sixty or seventy, all
carefully preserved and fit to wear again,
and these go to her daughters.
They need very little alteration, for fash
ions in Japan change but slightly. and
dresses chat descend like this as heirlooms
are valued far more than new ones
Japanese ladies look upon their dresses
much as European ladies regard their old
china and costly furniture. Many of the
most beautiful japanese dresses are very
old, but they look new and are never out
of fashion"

THE PEOPLE WILL ENDORSE 1T
Concord Tribune

Concord Tribune
MIR. Pritchard is evidently very
hard up for material for his campaign
if he proposes to make political
thunder out of the fact that the pres
ent administration borrowed $780,
900 to meet the appropriations of the
last Legislature. As has been said,
and can be readily seen, Legislature
cannot form revenue bill and make
appropriations to tit to the dollar.
When the people of North Carolina
fully understand that these appropri-
ations were made for the benefit of
the people, and were used for schools,
charitable institutions and such pur-
poses, they will not waste time either
criticizing or abusing the party that
is in charge of the affairs CT the
State. Every dollar of the money
has been wisely used as can be seen
in the number of new school houses
where longer terms and better teach
ers have marked the school wear.
We have no time for such methods.
If Mr.. Pritchard or any other man
were to attempt to bring North Car
olina to the very front he would most
likely find reason for doing the same
thing-unless be would do a verv
dangerous thing. make an unlimited
revenue-raising bill. There will be
no trouble about the people Of North
Carolina finding out all the facts
about this transaction and the neces-
sitv for it. No danger of this adj
ministration hiding anything or
lodging. The people will endorse
this and also the party when voting

A CORRECT POSITION
News and Observer.


The Confederate Veteran in session
at Greensboro this week, at the biggest
reunion of Confederate Veterans vet
held, unanimously adopted this reso-
luton:
''Rcsolued, That We condemn and
denounce the act Of Congress which
rewards treachery and p"rtid: by
giving pensions to Confederate de-
serters for lighting against their
former flag and comrades"
This is the corrac. position. 1t will
be approved, not only by every brave
Confederate soldier and his descend
ants, but as well by brave Federal
soldiers and all others who have pro-
found contempt for desertrrs.
Mr.. Pritchard, Mr.. Moody ami MIR.
Blackburn thought they had put a
feather in their cap when they secured
the overturning of Hoke Smith, order
denying pensions to deserters. They
will find, instead, that the people OF
North Carolina will applaud the above
resolution adopted by the Confeder-
ate Veterans. Nearly all the men
who will get money under this de-
serter's bill are Republicans already.
and that's all the folks who will APP
prove the deserter pension bill. The
people of North Carolina and OF the
whole country will never endorse a
measure that puts premium upon
desertion. The example Of Benedict
Arnold ought to have taught Pritch-
ard, Moody and Black burn that those
who desert from the army to which
they belong will ever be held in
contempt by brave men and women.
The few paitry dollars that will go
into circulation from this bill will
not do any good to the men who Sc
cured its passage. 1t is founded upon
wrong principle. The men who
were its sponsors will in November
wish they had never advocated it.

From the day of his youth?
1t is easy to die. Men have died
For wish or a Whim-
From brayado or passion or pride,
Was it harder for him?
But TO live-eyery day TO live out
All the truth that lie dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with

And the world with contempt.

Never turning aside?

the mistake of concluding that they

named Ackers, who lays claim to one
of the most remarkable war records

in the west he has seen service. At

before Tientsin Ackers was sent with

Ninth Infantry, whose regiment was
under heavy fire. The orders were to

man. There were a lot of us young
sters who grieved over the enforced
silence of Gibson in the campaign of
1860, and who rejoiced when the cloud
lifted from his personality in 1861.
when Gibson announced that he
would raise a regiment for the Union
service over 400 men in his county
came to him. His fervid, picturesque
oratory was heard again in central

A NEGRO PATRIOT

Notable among the colored heroes
of the revolution was brave Austin
Dabney of Georgia. His owner era
venly refused to shoulder a f1intlock,
but the negro offered to enlist, and.
after some discussion, the officers en-
rolled him. He was one of the heroic
band who faced the charge of the
Seventy-frst Highland regiment at
Blackstock's farm, and turned the
crack troops of Europe in open field
with rifle and .muske. against the
bayonet, and at Kettle Creek Dabnes
was severely wounded. After the war
he was pensioned by the United
States government and received
grants of land from Georgia. For gal
liant service in the field he was freed
by an act of the state legislature and
his value paid from the public funds.
Grateful to the white family who
nursed him when wounded, he earned
money to educate their eldest son, and
wept with joy when the youth was
admitted to the bar. Riding into
Savannah to draw his pension he
humbly fell to the rear of the white
men he bore company. Gov. James
Jackson, himself the owner of many
slaves, saw Dabney, rushed out, shook

South, named the army of northern
Virginia, fought under the leadership
of their favorite Gen. r. E. Lee, and
flushed with their victories at Fred

the leadership of Gen. George G.
