The following poem, written by Rev.
Timothy Harley, for so many years pastor
of the Baptist Church In this city, has been
handed us with the request that 1t be repuo-
lished. 1t is a beautiful tribute to our great
ly maligned and much traduced Sunny
Southland, and Mr.. Harley's many friends
and acquaintance in our midst will read 1t
with both interest and pleasure:
] sing the land where many States are one;
Where Europe's setting Is MONDAY sun;
Where ancient form and Anticipated creed
Give place to youthful power and noble deed.
New England in the East revives the Old; :,
The West supplies the world with grain and
gold;
The Three would form theme for endless
song.
While Washington remains household name,
While 'StonewaIl' Jackson reaps eternal
fame
And Robert Lee lustrous hero shines,
The South shall flourish like land OF wines. j"
The curse Of slavery. which long was spared.
Which Northern States and England once had
Is now removed; the incubus OF night
Departed with the dawn Of higher light.
Abuses had attended in its train,
Both white and black were poisoned with its
bane;
And Scribes, no word of mercy in their mouth,
Were glad accusers Of the guilty South.
At length the day for abolition came;
The Rebel" bore the undivided blame;
While Pharisses, forgetful of their own.
For her transgressions set their judgment
throne.
Just Heaven looked on with pity in Bis eye,
Beheld her victims tears aHd heard his cry,
Then babe the South the bondman's rights re-
store.
And sent her on her way to sin no more.
Let no man say she sinDed and suffered not;
She bore a crushing blow for every blot;
But while her brothers would have wrought
her death,
Her God restored her with immortal breath.
Since then her progress. like the shining light,
Has onward moved with swift advancing
might;
The white and black in mutual trust increase,
And break the bread of fellowship in peace.
Malicious ISLANDERS oft are spread abroad;
The tongue of hate. vile envenomed sword,
And sell her blood for silverlDgs OF shame.
Let none who hear the right and love the true
Connde in that eliminating crew,
Who lie for party, policy or pay.
And slaughter regulations for their prey.
The South is human, liable to err
Let such as sin not cast stone at her;
But let her fiercest foes stand still and see,
Her prospect is a grand prosperity.

SERGEANT HARvRY,S FUNERAL
A Large Turn Out TO do Honor 20 a
Brave Man.

Yesterday afternoon Trinity Methodist
Church was filed by large number Of our
citizens, assembled to pay their last sad
tribute Of respect to the late Police Ser
geant H. H. Harvey. Promptly at three
O'Clock the hesrse bearing the remains
arrived under the escort of a detach-
ment of the police and the Knights
Of Pythias, the Masons having already met
in Masonic Temple, and marched from
there to the church. The body was met at
the door by Rev. J. o. Branch, the pastor,
who read over It the service for the burial
Of the dead, and delivered an impressive
and appropriate eulogY upon the life and
virtues Of the deceased.
Upon the conclusion of the church ser
vices the remains, accompanied by the
Knights of Pythias, the Masons, the police
escort and long procession of carriages.
were taken 10 their last resting place, In
that beautiful city Of the dead, Laurel
Grove Cemetery. Here, after they had
been committed 10 the earth by the
church, q short service was held over
them BY the Knights, which was followed
by the solemn and impressive Masonic fu-
neral ceremonies, conducted by Mr.. K. ii.
Lewis, Senior Warden of SOlOmOn's Lodge
No. l, of which the deceased was an active
and Jealous member. All present seemed
much affected, and the sOlemnity Of the oc-
casiOn was greatly heightened by the
sweet aud feeling singing OF the
HYMN "Thy will be DONE" and
the Masonic funeral dirge by Messrs. Re
barer, Mallette, Ward and Harden. Many
were the wet eyes around the grave, and
sadly every one at length turned from the
fresh mound which covered the remains of
as brave and true man as ever breathed.
May his soul rest in peace.

EYesIgbt of Readers.

A writer in the Literary Journal calls atten-
ton to the danger which readers run of IN
Turing their eyesight by the use Of bad
light. He remarks that engravers, watch
makers, and others who use the eyes con-
stantly in their work take extra care to pre-
serve them by getting the best possible
light by day, and use the best artificial light
at night. The great army of readers are
careless, and have sooner or later to pay
the penalty of their carelessness by giving
up night work entirely and sometimes read
ing, except at short intervals and under the
best conditions. All departures from com
mon type, making the matter more difficult
for the eyes to take in, increase the danger.
The magnitude Of the physical labor of
reading is not appreciated. A book Of 500
pages, forty lines to page, and fifty letters
to the line, contains 100000 letters, all of
which the eye has to take in, identify and
combine each with its neighbor. Yet many
readers will go through such book in a
day. The task is one he should shrink
from, II he should stop to measure 1t before
hand. The best positions and best lights,
clear type, plain ink, with the best paper Of
yellowish tints, and abundant space between
lines, afford the best safeguards against
harm,

The Louisville COarier-Jour1aGl, of last
Monday, publishes letter from Professor
Klein, saying: 81 have for several weeks
past noticed singular phenomena in the
heavens in the shape Of double comet or
comets, attended by nine smaller ones, all
in a circle closely resembling one OF Saturn's
rings. They all appear to be connected to-
gether, as they move in the same orbit, and
the larger of the double comets will, at regu-
lar intervals, eclipse the smaller one, and
the little ones are on such coca
sions lost sight of in the mists thus
created. l have no doubt that this is the
comet Of 1915, supposed to have been de-
stroyed, that now appears to US In this
singular shape, attended by numerous
satellites, which, by some of the wonderful
processes of nature, were undoubtedly
thrown from its nucleus, but not with suffi-
cient force to get beyond les attraction, and
are therefore resting on the original ring
like nucleus which has undoubtedly been
rent asunder by great cometary eruption
and gathered again in its present shape.
This too, believe, to be the comet OF 1911,
having period of th'rtY-fve years. Aside
from this wonderful comet or, rather eleven
comets, there are five others now visible.

THE GALATIANS.
Distinguished HOnOrs Paid Them at
Yorktown.

Our telegraphic columns this morning an
nounce that distinguished hOnors were yes
terdaY paid the old and popular Chatham
Artillery at Yorktown. They were not only
assigned the post of honor at the right OF
the column, but General Hancock sent an
aid to them especially, with orders that they
halt to allow the French and German visitors,
and the President of the United States, to
inspect their classic guns, which were
captured by General Washington from
CORVALLIS, and which were viewed with
great interest. But this was not all by any
means. The dispatches further state that
General Hancock himself extended to Lieut..
George p. Walker, commanding, a special
invitation 20 partake of a collation. on the
steamer st. Johns, which he had prepared
for the President and other distinguished
guests, and that this was the only invitation
extended an individual commander.
No doubt Lieutenant Walker and his
brave command bore their blushing hOnOrs
with becoming dignity, though highly ap-
preciating the distinguished attentions they
received.

The wire OF the same with a knife, stole
several loaves Of bread, some meat and

ADangerous Locality.

Near the middle of the river, just oppo-
site where the Georgia and Florida steamers
land, there is a wreck sunk which at low
water is very dangerous to navigation. On
Wednesday at y N. the tug J. Bramel
struck on this wreck and was compelled to
lay there for an hour till the tide rose suf-
iciently for her to get of. Had the tide
been going cut at the time the tug would
probably have broken ia two. Vessels very
frequently swing around IN this locality, and
unless the wreck is speedily removed, some
vessel will yet strike on 1t and be seriously
damaged. The proper authorities should
give this matter the necessary attention.
