“It's not bitterness and rancor; it’s

“Patriotism?”
“Certainly, as they seo it. From a
northern standpoint it is bad, I’ll admit,
but you and I, John, oro too honest and
broad, I hope, to gauge people from tho
surface altogether.”
Tho two speakers were evidently north
erners. It was tho 26th day of April—
Confederate Decoration day—and the
balm and bloom and soul of tho south
ern springtime seemed to havo concen
trated themselves in and about New Or
leans, the prido and citadel of southern
sunshine and chivalry’. The wind that
blew from the gnlf was warm, clinging,
and yet thrilling—like tho kiss of a loved
one on the cheek. Little downy bundles
of vapory white clouds gathered and
burst and rolled and tumbled and nes
tled along the horizon like a flock of
doves sunning and preening themselves
in the sunshine. From the barracks to
Carroltou earth, tree, shrub, wall and
lattice were one continued bower of
blossoms and fragrances Banners flut

“Boo!" said Fred, shaking his head
and mopping tho perspiration off his
forehead as bo trieel to wcdg<r*hfa way
toward an awning out of the sun. “But
Fm hanged if I don’t forget," he went
on, “that this ia nGt tho third act of a
war drama, and that Zizi and Felice ore
not sitting behind tho flies on beer kegs
munching their com beef sandwiches till
their cuo comes. By Geofge, I believe
I'll go homo and immortalize that idea!
Come on—or”— Their voices were
drowned in a thunder of applause and
band musi6, and their attention attracted
by a most remarkable demonstration
going on in The square. An elderly
woman in black, accompanied by a
lovely, gracefnl girl in white and laven
der, were being escorted to seats, of re
served prominenco on the grand stand.
Every head in that vast conconrso of
people was bared, every eye and heart
uplifted to those two simple, modest,
timid looking women. Every band in
sight and hearing joined force and num
ber in playing “Dixie.” Banners were
lowered; fans, parasols and garlands
waved and fluttered.
“Bress Gawd, ef. dat ain’t Miss Vrina
Davis an Miss Winnie!” shouted an old
negro man stand fag against a lamppost
at Fred's elbow.
“Dat hit is!” exclaimed a buxom mu
latto vender of pralines near by. “Three
cheers an a big hurray fur Mass* Jeff
Davis an his wife an chile!”
“De Lawd bress her party facer
Such were tho running but earnest
comments overheard. Meanwhile the
procession had begun to move again, the
tramping of horses, the roll of vehicles
and tho pounding of drum and shrieking
of horn and fife almost drowned in the
unremitting rounds of cheers. John’s
gaze was riveted on the two ladies.
He saw the younger one lean over and
empty her arms fall of flowers into a
wagonette loaded with veterans and
bearing aloft a tattered old battleflag.
He saw the seared old faces beam up
into hers—ho even caught the glisten
of tears on the rugged cheeks.
A moment later as some Mississippi
company passed the stand he saw the
elder woman bend forward and clasp to
her heart and lips the folds of an old Con
federate flag so frayed and tom and worn
that it had to bo borne closely furled.
He heard tho sobs, of old men and
tender hearted women blending a pang
and pathos with tho rolling waves of pa
triotism and chivalry. North, south,
union and disunion faded from liis heart
and memory. A fallen kingdom, a lost
cause, a foreloro hope, a conquered, ach
ing, majestic and earnest people were
with him. Universal brotherhood, peace
and good will toward all men.
Before he knew what he was thinking
or doing his hat went off, and up, straight
up as far as his strong long arms could
send it, and out from his lusty lungs and
burning heart went a yell—a rebel yell—
tho power and “bitterness and rancor"
of which would have put to shame tho
veriest Johnny Reb in Dixie.
Fred almost fainted. Earth, air ahd
sky reeled and danced under liis feet and
over his head. In tho midst of this he
was conscious of a laughing, tear wet
woman's face—a beautiful and familiar
faco. It leaned out of a carriage and
beamed upon them. Then a white hand
flashed out and seized tho reins from the
dusky ones which held them. Tho car-

publication ot the school census of
this county will probably show the
greatest disparity between tbe races
ot any county in the state. Accord
ing to t u e census there are 496 white
children of school age in the county
whi’e only 361 are in actual attend
ance. On the other hand there are
3,953 negro childen of echooi age and
2.052 are in attendance. It will thus
be seen that the white taxpayers of
Dougherty are laboring under a xefj
qual burden ia the case of educa
tion. They are paying for the educa
tion of more than four negro children
while educating one white child, a
burden which the white taxpayers
of no other county have to shoulder.
Atlanta Ga , April 24.—Commis

Montgomery, Ala., April 24
Judge Biuce of the United States

tCt hands. The streets were thronged with
ten i People and vehicles. Prancing horses,
dancing children, brass bands, military
companies, stato and city organizations,
j public cabs, family carriages, market
carts, veteran, statesman, politician,
belle, beau, oreole negro and all tho
foreign mongrel population made up the
shouting, surging procession on the
streets. AU New Orleans had turned
out to pay tribute to the south’s illus
trious dead.
Infection was in the air.
In spite of themselves and their cool
and practical northern blood, the two
tourists found themselves en rapport
with the resurrected ghost of southern
fire, eloquence and enthusiasm.
When they reached Lafayette square,
they found the crowd almost impassable.
Some veteran hero on horseback was ad
dressing the people—his bridle having
been seized by three enthusiastic and ir
repressible college students and his
horse turned out of the ranks of the'
marching cavalry. Good nature and
unbounded sympathy wifh the act light
ed and gleriSc-u the seared old face, which
bore an its every scar and wrinkle the
ineffaceable record of hard fought bat
tles, hunger and pain, defeat, but tri
umph in tlint defeat The procession
had stopped, the bands sobbed and
thrilled in undertone, while the old sol
dier leaned from his horse, his helmet in
one hand—the sun shining on his sparse
gray hair—and the other hand ungloved,
grasping warmly, one by one, the hands
of the people as they pushed and elbowed
their way to his feet and then pushed
back to make way for the rest
“Days worth living,” “days worth dy
ing for,” “undimmed glory,” “undying
farno and name and beauty,” “uncon-
quered by defeat,” “untarnished by
time’s dust and contumely’s rust”—these
were the gist of the sentences and senti
ments tho tourists caught.
It was enough.
Fred Hen wood threw up his hat—a
silk one at that—and yelled, “Ye-ow!”
John Forrest seized his arm and shook
him, but his face was almost as pink
and radiant ns Fred’s.
But the yell had started the ball of
enthusiasm. Again and again it echoed
and re-echoed from earth to Bky and
back from sky to earth. Tho very trees
of tho park and walls of the encircling
houses seemed to drink in and give with
renewed zest tho mighty and prolonged
cheers.
“Are you crazy or drunk?’asked John.
“Both!" yelled Fred. “Ye-eo-ow!”
John looked at liirn seriously, personal
concern for the time allaying impersonal
enthusiasm.
“I believe that absintheannizette went
to your head." lie said paternally. Come
on, here, and let’s go down in French-

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
Furl that banner, for ’tis weary;
Round Its staff Tis drooping dreary;
Furl it, fold It, it ia best.
For there's not a man to wave it.
And there’s not a oword to savo it.
And there’s not one left to lave it
‘In tho blood which heroes gave It.
Furl it, hide it—let it rest.
Furl that banner! True, 'tis gory.
Vet ’tis wreathed around with glory
And 'twill live in song and story.
Though its folds are in tho dust.
For its fumo on brightest pages.
Penned by i>octs and by sages.
Shall go sounding down tho age»—
Furl its folds though now we must.
Furl that banner softly, slowly,
Treat It gently, it is holy.
For It droops above tho dead!
Touch It not, unfold It never.
Let it droop there furled forever.
For its people's hopes are dead.
While tho last words were dyin.T on
John’s lips and the tears were trickling
down tbe sweet, pink cheeks of -Agnes
and tho pale cheeks of her mother, Fred

riage wheeled, came back—through the
parting, scurrying throng the confused
horses were prancing and sawing the
bits in Fred’s face. Then tho door
opened, and he and John were jammed
in on tho back seat, with Agnes Russell
between them—dear, jolly, high spirited
Agnes, who had ruled the art #chool in
Paris when they first met her; had fallen
in love with sober old John Forrest, to
tho disgust of his more handsome rivals;
had entertained and outstripped them
all in her studio in New Yorlc and had
all of a sudden pulled up and packed up
and marched off to her home in the
eonth, all on account of some little lov
er’s quarrel with John.
Well!
So here were she aud John finding each
other in New Orleans, and he—Fred—
their best and most forbearing friend,
1 in tho dark as to how it happened.
While he was thinking all this—about

Noble Sentiments Expressed by a Colored
Member of the Georgia Legislature.
During the last session of the Georgia
legislature tho house of representatives
had under consideration a measure
known as the soldiers’homo bill. There
was a stubborn fight mado against the
bill by members who did not believe
that tho benefits derived would justify
tho outlay. Some stirring speeches had
been made, when Styles of Liberty rose
and addressed the chair.
At first there was tho stillness of a
death chamber pervading the house; then
feeling of iudignation came over the
members, for Styles is a negro, and many
felt disposed to resent anything that he
might say against tho measure, as they
sure that if lie spoko at all ho
would oppose it. But in this they were
mistaken. lie spoke as follows:
Mr. Chaikman—I was not a Confederate sol-
iler, but I was tbe servant of a Confederate
soldier who fought in the late war under such
General Dowse and General Phil Cook
for principles which he thought wero right and
for principles which you now hold were right.
lory of the old soldiers, and I love
UK who fought sido by side with
them.- For theso latter I nm now willing to do
all in my power to relieve them In their dis
tress. Why not have a soldiers’ home for these
men, who fought for a cause they believed to
be just? The United States government sup
ports two or more homes for Us ’ eterans, and
many hundreds of my own race are benefited

snatching it away and blushing. When
at last Fred was in a mental condition to
understand English, this is about the
sum and snbstanco of tho conversation
he heard:
“But you knew very well that my
countrv was my passion!” said Aggie,
“and that no one could insult it without
insulting me. And yon deliberately and
persistently refused to pass under my
Confederate flag over tho door of my
studio.”
“But I didn’t refuso to go into your
studio, Aggie.”
“Well, there wasn't any other door to
;t there were other flags!” sheepish
ly insisted John.
“How about tho supply of Agnescs?”
put in Fred, who doted on John and Ag
gie as a whole and feared anotbej: 10
months’ breach on party differences.
Then the lovers became aware of Fred’s
'There wasn't, and isn’t and never
could he another one on earth!” said
John, after which he essayed to repeat
his rebel yell, which Agnes, however,
nipped in the hud with the flash of her
fan over his month.
“Wo are in the cemetery!” she said
softly and reverently.

That evening, in the long, dim draw

the windows thrown open to the slow,
sweet twilight, the rumble and
laudable philanthropy? Tho colored people of.
our stato would, I believe, willingly submit to
taxation for tho soldiers’ home. I was raised
with theee veterans who suffered in war. I
carried their schoolbooks to tho schoolhonsc
for them, and there was no difference, except
for Union veterans, why not ho taxed a littl*
more fortho maintenance of their own veter
ans? With these convictions, sir, and since
they ask for only $15,000 per annum, I gladiy
cast my vote for this monument to the patriot-
ton of ol*l Georgia.
The speech ended, the house went wild
with enthusiasm, and the hill went
through with a rush. A few nights later,
the Confederate Veterans’ association of
Atlanta held a meeting, and Styles was
presented with an elegant gold headed

North Carolina's Confederate Monument.
It has been decided that the monument
to the North Carolina Confederate dead
shall bo of granite. The city of Raleigh
will provide the place for it in what
may be termed tho most public square
in the city—the one in front of Tho
passenger station, tho monument to
stand in the center of the square. Cap
tain Octavius Coke has granite quarries
near here and generously offers the asso
ciation all the stone desired free of cost.
It is considered best to nso stone from
one quarry in this way, so that all may
harmonize in color and tfexture. It fa pro
posed that there shall be, upon a broad
base, a shaft composed of 00 blocks of
granite, one for each county, and sur
mounting all a bronze statue of Henry
Wyatt, the the first Confederate killed
in the state service. Standing in the
center of Nash square, which fa state
property, tho position of the monument
would be far more commanding than if
it were placed in the Capitol square.
The latter square is far too small, and
tho fine effect of space and elevation
would be lacking.—Raleigh Chronicle.
