IIow this will affect the prices of the cotton and grain made in that section remains to bo seen. A dearth of news, even Spatr.sh reports from Cuba, lead to the impression, that the insurgents will be compelled to succumb to the inevitable and abandon their efforts at independence. We are not ready for such a conclusion and do not believe that such an idea possesses Gomez or his people, though we may be in error, and they may have to relinquish their idea of liberty. AM liberty loving people sympathize with those who are endeavoring to throw off the yoke of oppression and wo hope that Cuba may succeed in throwing off the {Spanish yoke and standing forth free, as she deserves to be and wo have not abandoued the hope thai, she will not. The Greeks have been compelled to abandon their position at Larissa. ItwaB found impossible to hold that point against the tremendous Turkish forco coming upon it and they have fallen back to a better and stronger position. Th# first few days of hostilities were marked with brilliant success, but a check has been made and unless some unforeseen intervention occurs we fail to U A I 1 ? 1 oct; nuw uity can 'ong witnstanu the advance of the Turkish army, so much greater than their own. They are not wanting in valor and have no doubt accepted the issue of war with the same spirit that animated their , ancestors and which furnish as briU liani history as the world can pro- ( duce. We hope that providence is overruling this affair and that it may result in an end to the hated Moslem rule, whose attrocities of late, should cause the Eastern powH , *>rs to take a hand and put to end an infamous reign which has beeu per. mitted too long. The Wai Records published by the United States government show i that in the war the south furnished ! the north with considerably more 1 than 400,000 soldiers. So the eight or nine southern states were lighting against the overwhelmingly great north, recruiting its armies in Europe and drawing upon the touth for over i 400,000 men. We have known this all through the years, and we have marveled why the war should have lasted four years instead of six months. The War Records show the'north had in the field over 2,700, ' C00 men, exclusive of its vast navy. * me bordei otates were against the south and the confederates received Hot one third the help from them that the north received. Think of 600,000 men fighting against the north, 400,000 and more men from its own section, and with Europe to help. It is indeed most murvelous that the south wits not crushed with- ( in six months. We asked a northern soldier in sherman's army why they had not whipped the south soon 1 er. Ilis reply was?"If you had had 1 our generals and we had had your j generals we would have done so." V \ WHAT IS NKCKSHAltY ro Make the School Fuu<l Throe Dollars For Capita. So far the comptroller general has not reached any definite conclusion as to the amount of thosupplemental school tax that will have to be levied. Below are given the figures showing th<> status of the several counties in regard to the school taxes the amount that falls short in the several conn ties and the amounts in excess of the ! required $3 per capita in the others. The amount given in the third column is what has to be raised. This, it may be held, will be covered I almost entirel) by the assurance of ?i._ i i ??? :i ?mi cue omu' uuuru ui control uim u win pay in the entire amount during the present year. If provisions of the Constitution are construed that this! assurance can be taken, tlwn there will be but a very small sum to be raised by an additional levy. If on the other hand the assurance is not sufficient, then the entire amount will have to be raised. The taxpayers of the State are watching the result with the greatest degree of interest. Ileie are the figures to speak for themselves. They areas closely approximated as possible.

Washington, April 21.?The tot?l area submerged by the Mississippi river is over 20,000 square miles. It contained at the last census 40, 352 farms with a total area of 4,900,4GG acres, nearly half of which was improved and a total population, agricultural and otherwise, of 462,041. If to the value of its farms, farm buildings and farm machinery, aecording to the census of 1890, 4,here he added the value of its live stock on Jan. 1, last, $9,174,G3G, and u. its products of last season still on hand March 1, last $4,554,754, the total of $90,176,177 will represent the approximate value of the agricultural property of the submerged rccinn - O Among the products of this region last year wore 406,050 hales of cot ton worth $16,312,060; 12,525,065 bushels of corn worth $3,995,278 and 9,033,878 pounds of sugar, worth $27,016. The total production, ineluding minor crops representing a value of 21,722,180 on the plantations. The latest reports to the war department from the stricken section are not cheering. The True Remedy. W M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., "Chief," says: "Wo won't keep house without Dr. King's New Disjovery for Consumption, Coughs and Uolds. Experimented with many >thers but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Disjovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Joughs, Colds,, Whooping Cough, ):c." It is idle to experiment with )ther remedies, even if they are urgid on'you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are , iul na guou, uecauso mis remedy has i record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy, rrial bottles free at E. Norton's Drug Store. I J Tlio Dismal Swamp. The Dismal SSuiunip is by no meau8 so dismal as it has been painted, and according to the description of late geographers, possesses feitures which ought to make it an attractive waicrirg place and sanitarium. It is not, as most people imagine, a vast bog sunk low in the ground, into which the drainage of the surrounding country Hows. On the contrary, according to accurate surreys, it is above the level ground, some fifteen 01 twenty feet, and, instead of being the receptacle, is, in its immense sponge-like bulk, gathering the waters that descend upon if, the source of rivers, live of which take their origin within it and flow onward to the sea. The swamp is entirely of green timber, there is no decaying wood, the two principal woods that grow there being the juniper and the cypress, which never rot. They fall on the ground like other trees, but instead of decomposing, they turn into peat, and in that form remain unchangeable and indissoluble. There is nothing in the swamp to create miasma; no rising of the tides and decomposition of rank vegetables; no marshes exposed to the burn - i ing rays of the sun. All is fresh and sweet, and the air is laden with balmy odors The water is tinged with juniper to a faint wine hue, and is thought to possess valuable sanitary qualities. It is often used by vessrls going on a long cruise on account of its healthful properties, and also ' because it keeps fresh and clear for years. Those who live near it are! not slow to declare that it is the! healthiest place on the continent,! and are, perhaps, not without reason for the faith which is in them. A l-'ew Iteniarks About l*ri<le. Trim pride is a good thing. It inspires higher motives and better ac tions. Hut false pride is bad. Some people are proud because they possess a little more of this; worlds goods than their neighbors: this Is pride of Wealth, and is it false ' pride. Some are proud because they are better educated?know more?than their neighbors. This sort of pride i is not so bad; but if such people would only reflect how little they know in comparison to what is to be known, they would better realize how lit Lie they have to he proud of after all. Same people, though poor, art too proud to work. This is mean pride. Work is honorable. The idler is of no use to himself, or to anybody, but is a dead expense and burden upon honorable people who earn a livelihood and have tin excuse for living. A few people are as ''proud its Lucifer" without having a solitary thing 10 be proud of. They have neither wealth, knowledge, or wisdom. They are poor, proud fools.? Kinston Free Press. Swoet-M tinted Women So great is the inlluenceof a sweetminded woman on those around her that it is almost boundless. It is to her that friends come in soasons of sickness and sorrow for help and Comfort. One soothing touch of her kindly hands works wonders in the feverish child; a few words h i, full from her hps in the eai of u sorrow ing sister do much to raise the load of grief that is bowing its victim I down to the dust in anguish. The husband comes home worn out with the pressure of business and feeling irritable with the world in general, but. when he enters the cosy silting. ' room and sees the blnv??nf tl>u tiro and meets his wife's smiling face he succumbs in a moment to the ! soothing influences, which actus the balm of (iilead to his wounded spirit. We are all worried with oonv bating the realities of life. The rough schoolboy flies in a rage from the taunts of his companion to find solace in the mother's smile; the little one, full of grief with its own large trouble, finds a haven of rest on its mother's breast; and so one may go on with instances of the influence a sweet minded woman basin the social life with which she is connected. Beauty is an insignificant power when compared with hers.
