reference to the resources and produc-
tons of that State. In his instructions
to The Taz Collectors in the State, lie

acres planted in cotton, also the namber
planted in corn and ether gain. Five

moiDiug l27 counties, it is reported that
only 236 1913 acres are planted in cotton,
while 4,Oo0S0 acres were planted in

THE CHORD OF SYMPATHY
"Who has not losta friend :"

Our friends have been fitting away
from earth to the echoess shore, and each
bore - thread" of the golden chord Of
sympathy that coils around her h cart
strings as we parted with them down near
the chilling surge that sweeps the soul a.
way.
They bore ta0m on-beyond the shores
Of time they are but parted, and when
the clouds all huddle together in some dis
tinct corner of the horizon, "at nights
lono hour" then those suspended chords
ere paved with stars; and the angels ethe-
rial forms glide down noisslessly, and with
bowed heads and folded wing, listening to
our heart throbs around the sleeping
tho couch.
And when morn with dewy fingers parts
sable curtain Of night, the light gushes
in like a flowing stream, then the stars are
buried by the bright etiulgence and lost
to the view, but still remain, and the gol-
den chord OF sympathy remains outstretch-
ed between US and heaven. To angel eyes
they are visible, when the dark like an in
ky cloak wraIs the earth, and when storms
sweep the sky. They could trace them
where they centered near the throne Of
God, bv their vibrations back TO our torn
and bleeding hearts. Some tender chords
vet twine on earth, bpt many are linked
in Heaven.
