I’ll swear no one who hadn't seen it would be lieve that so mnch bitterness and rancor still ex ist in the hearts of these old fire eaters of Dixie!” “It's not bitterness and rancor; it’s patriotism." “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 tered from balcony and tower; bantings . . and tiny flags from doorway, wagon, north d rav carriage s»*«1 from little “rebel" right nor—IT i'.-oy CoulT! v “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.

MacIntyre, Jr., % 21- Alkaky, Ga , April 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 sioner of -VgrrcuUure Nesbitt says to day lh£i the present weati.er is play tornavoc with vegetation i • Georgia. There was a good Iras’, this mar; aod it would have been a heavy and killing one had not the wind sprung up about daylight and scattered the moisture in the atmosphere.

Montgomery, Ala., April 24 Judge Biuce of the United States court this morning rendered a decision in the case of E. G. Weed vs. the Montgomery and Eufaula road and others. The cause was upon au ap plication of the complainant to ap point a receiver for the road separate and distinct from the Georgia Central system and for the removal of H. M. Comer, the present receivtr. The court denied the application. Here i3 Stanton’s pen pictuic of domestic ^ife in the cyclone belt of Georgia: “John, is the house chained down?” “Yes, .sir.” " * “Plenty of firewood?” “Yea, sir.” “All the cotton covered ?” “Yes, sir.*’ “Did you dig the cyclone pit?” “Yes, tir.” “Well, let’s have family prayers — I see the weather man announce* that spring ia coming!" 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.

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 i rhetorically and lucidly as this ac count of it fa written—Agnes and John were talking, both at tho same time,' John grabbing Aggie’s hand and Aggie 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 ps. Their woes of old age and de- grcatly alleviated by their cstab- “WE ARE IN HIE CEMETERY,” SHE SAID SOFTLY. 1 V. 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 ing room of Agnes* southern home, with 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 cane. J. D. Cleaton. 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.
