BURIAL PLACE OF ZACHARY TAYLOR
Between FIVE and six miles from the city, on
an obscure neighborhood road, quarter Of o
mile from the Brownsboro road, rest the re-
mains of the twelfth President of the United
States-Zachary Taylor-whose name was
once upon all lips, and whose praises sounded
from one end of the country to the other.
The grave is situated in the northeast corner
of the Taylor farm, and it is notifying to
relate that it is in sadly neglected condition,
underbrush, weeds and ailantus trees render
ing it very difficult of access. No monument
has ever been erected to General Taylors
memory. The remains lie there in plain
vault built in the side of hill, with a marble
slab over the door, bearing the inscription :
III. TAYLOR, born November "a, 1854 ;
died July 9, 1850"
The services rendered by this brave, good
natured old soldier deserve monumental recog-
milton. A gentleman who recently visited the
grave said to reporter of this paper: "As !
stood there, with head uncovered, my mind
reverted to boyhood days, and remembered
a solemn funeral cortege at Philadelphia, the
city in mourning, public buildings and private
residences draped in black, hush all over the
city, sadness depicted on every face, for great,
brave old General Taylor was dead. The
whole nation, in fact, mourned his loss. Twen-
ty-three years after this, I find myself at his
grave near Louisville and am impressed with
the fact that the nations dead are soon for
gotten"
The place does indeed appear forgotten. A
stone wall encloses the little grave yard and
rusty and unused iron gate frowns upon the
visitor. 1t evidently has not been opened for
years. Colonel Richard Taylor is buried to
the right of General Taylor. An obelisk
eighteen feet high, is erected over his grave
bearing the inscription: "Colonel Richard
Taylor, soldier of the Revolutionary war
and native of Orange county, Virginia
born April 8, 1744; died January 10, 1922
Colonel Taylor came to this State while his
son, Zachary, was an infant, and settled on
the plantation where he is now buried.

TROUBLES.

The population of the earth is numbered
by hundreds of millions. Great is the diver
sity of circumstances under which the differ.
ent individuals composing this number are
situated Some are rich and some are poor
some are wise and some are foolish some are
loved and respected, and others are hated and
despised some rule and others are ruled
In most respects no two are exactly alike in
appearance, nor similarly situated. There is
one partiular, however, in which all are alike.
All are surrounded and beset on all sides by
troubles. The troubles are not alike, but all
have their troubles. No one of all Adams
posterity is exempt. "Man that is born Of
woman is of few days." and those days are
absolutely full of trouble.
The cause of trouble is sin. Before man
sinned, there was no sorrow, no grief, no tears,
no anguish of heart in this world; and since
man sinned, the world has been full of woe.
The remedy for trouble is the blood of Jesus.
The only medicine that will dry our tears
and ease our aching hearts, is the blood OF
the Lamb of God. Nothing else does any
good. The troubles peculiar to the poor can,
not be removed by making the poor rich
neither can the grief which hovers around the
homes of the rich be driven away by making
the rich poor. The sick man is not made
happy by being restored to health; neither is
the we'll man freed from his anguish of heart
by being placed upon bed of sickness. Moth
ing will relieve the aching of our hearts but
an interest in the covenant of grace. "Call
upon me (God) in the day of trouble and I
will deliver you" Psalm 30. This is the
gracious promise God makes to us poor sin
polluted and grief oppressed mortals.
1t is part of the experience of Gods peo'
pie that God does deliver them. Sometimes
the deliverance brought to those who call
upon God is not at the time nor in the way
that it is expected but God never fails to de-
liver his people. He does it in his own time
and in his own way, and in the end the expe'
rience of the pious is, that Gods time and
Gods way is the best time and the best way.
To the human mind, unenlightened by the
Holy Spirit, there was not much fitness in
sending Elijah to poor widow in the midst
of an extensive famine to be fed. Had the
prophet been permitted to select home, he
would, in all human probability, have chosen
some place else.
The duty Of Gods people in the day of
trouble is to 60 directly to God, and in faith,
ask him to deliver them, leaving the time and
manner of deliverance wholly to God. His
wisdom and power are sufficient for any emer.
gency. God indicates the time and mode OF
deliverance by the dealings ofhis providence.
Our duty is to watch these indications and be
nnuerned in our actions bY them

(FORMERLY THE SUMTER NEWS.)
ESTABLISHED IN 1886.
STRICTLY AWHITE MANS PAPER.
An Independent and fearless Journal, Devo.
ted to the Interests of the Good and
True People of the Country.

EROM the growing popularity and demand
Il abroad, for our paper, which after more than
seven years of unremittng labor and effort we
have the proud satisfaction of seeing firmly estab
lished, upon business basis, we are convinced Of
the propriety of imparting to 1t broader charac-
ter, and making 1t q more general exponent of the
sentiments and interests of the country at large,
and representative Of its intelligence and welfare
but more especially Of the South and
OUR OWN SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
We have, therefore, determined, to the best ofour
ability, to occupy this higher and wider plane of
usefulness, and as first step toward doing so,
we abandon the name Of the Sumter News, which
smacks too much of localism, for that of
THE TRUE SOUTHRON.
We shall continue, as heretofore, to stand firm
ly and squarely upon our principles, maintain
our independence, and to battle for right and
truth against official corruption, venality and
fraudInot sweIving from the right through mo-
tives Of crooked policy or fallacious and short
sighted expediency.
We receive no Government pap, to help us
along; but look to tho men whose rights and in
terests we watch and defend, by day and by night,
to sustain us, by a cordial and liberal support.
We ask all friends Of
HONESTY AND GOOD GOVERNMENT
To interest themselves in extending our circula-
ton, and thereby aid us in our battle against the
corruption and villainy of the Party in Power,
which is fast destroying the liberties Of our people
and the resources of the country.

A ROMANTIC SToRY-The following story
is told by the Galveston (Texas) Commercial
of man who was sent to the penitentiary of
that State week ago. "He is German Of
noble birth. His uncles and brothers distin-
guished themselves in the late Franco-G German
war; they were high in rank and live in prince
ly pomp. Yet this brother, perhaps Of NOR
ais as good as the best of hie family, will for
two years live in the Texas Penitentiary. This
young man seems to have been the favorite of
his mother, but the hated of his father. He
was sent to the first schools of Germany, and
is proficient in ancient and modern languages !;
but he was allowed to- spend money at random,
being taught nothing that was useful. When
of age, he was given few thousands and sent
to this country. Here we premise, that while
the young man is neither crazed nor fool, he
does lack that which is called gumption. He
married woman, who, after season, desert
ed him. From the time of his desertion he
became wanderer. Being sick, he returned
to Germany, and was sent by his family to
the most celebrated springs in Germany, and
when he was fully restored, they returned
him to this country with sufficient to have es-
tablished him in small business, but he vast
ed all-and it is strange that he did so, for he
does not appear to be addicted to any Of the
money-eating vices Reduced to beggary, he
walked from Mobile to New York, hunting
employment. Then he got back to Galveston.
Here he acted as scullion in fourth'rate
boarding house, waiting on the table and
cleaning knives. While engaged in this work
he stole two watches, worth 81, and on being
charged with it, he confessed the ofense, and
begged the recorder to send him to the peni-
Tertiary, that he might learn trade and be
able to support himself He told the record
er, that if he was not sent to the penitentiary
where he could learn trade, he would go
out and commit some crime that would send
him there. He was the most anxious man to
get in jail we ever saw. We hope that his
residence in Huntsville will be productive of
all the good he anticipates from it, and that
when he leaves it, he will be sefsupporting,
respectable citizen"
