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

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."

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.

The Vast Flood.
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.

"Chief," says: "Wo won't keep
house without Dr. King's New Disjovery
for Consumption, Coughs and
Uolds. Experimented with many

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,

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.

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.?

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

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.
