No. good my lord, wish not a from England
Heavens peace, would not lose great an honor
As one man more methinks would share from me,
For the best hopes l have. Wish not one more:
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host
That he who hath stomach to this fight,
Let him depart, his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that mans company
That fears his fellowship to die with u.s.
This day is called the feast of Crispian
He that outlives this day. and comes safe home,
Will stand on tiptoe when this day is named
And rouse him at the name of Crispian
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispian, Crispan, neer go by
From this day to the ending of the world
But we in it shall be remembered

BRIDGE TAX IS S0.35 0N Sl00 IN PINE BLUFF Lew Increased to 2 7-10 Per
 Cent of the "Bet-
 te1ments."

Frank R. Bloom, assistant secre- tary of the fr;e bridge commission, in a letter to The Graphic yesterday calls attention to the fact that the bridge tax is assessed ag2lmet the "betterment" instead of the assessed "valuaion" of property and that in- stead of the bridge tax being $2.7O per $1OO assessed valuation, the tax in zone No. 1 (Pine Bluff), would be $O.35.
 MT. Bloom says:
 "You state that admitted that the tax was raised from $2 on $10O valu- ation to $2.7O per $100, when, as d. matter of fact, I said no such thlng' nor, admitted any such thing.
 "The facts are that the levy was increased from two to two and seven tenths per cent of the betterments. Taken on your basis, the tax on $lOo valuation for this year would be $O.So in zone 1, which is the highest zone' instead Of $2.70, as shown by you."
 The error was in the use Of the word valuation" instead of the word "bettarments," in The Graph1cs artl- cle of yesterday. MT. Bloom makes the matter clear.
