Distance.
On softenlng days, when storm was near,
AT the farmhouse door have stood in the gray.
And caught in the distance, faint but clear,
The sound OF train, passing far away.
The warning bell, when the start was made,
The engines puflng OF smoke unseen,
With the heavy rumble as wheels oDeyed--
Across the miles between.
And so sometimes. on moonle5s night
When the stars shine soft and the wind is Low.
To my listening soul, in the pallid light
Come the trembling voices Of long ago.
The tuneful echoes when hope was young,
The tender song Of love serene,
Ind the throbbing rhythm of passions tonyue-,
Across the years between.

The First Sign

The First Sign

Night sweats and Nervousness, or in
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of

Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeeblcd system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.

Hero we see S3,OOO,OOO saved in
the seven years Of Democratic rule
in the aggregate Of State, school and
poll taxes, or comparing State tax
with State tax, exclusive of schools
and polls, we see $3,740,000 saved
in the seven years of Democratic rule,
and so, too, we sec that the Demo.

the schools in the seven years, every
cent of which has gone to honest &C

We sec that the average annual
State tax for the Republican seven
years was $1,1G3,O0O a year, whilst
that OF the Democrats was $629, 900.
But whilst thus curtailing expenses
the Democrats have not increased
the public debt Of the State one cent,
and have met the interest on the
public debt promptly and punctually,
though one whole years taxes under
the Republicans was made way with,
which has had to be carried ever
since by saving up certain margins
beyond the annual expenditure, so
that the government can meet acru.

Those Figures.

The Grcenvillc News of October
the 22d submitted q statement Of the
expenditures Of the State government
under the Radical rule from 136S-C9
to 1S74-75, inclusive, and then for
the years Of Democratic rule from
1876-77 to 1S79-9O. inclusive, con.
Guiding with the year 18S4-85. Up
on these figures our contemporary
charges wastefulness under the Dem
ocratic administrations, and which,
as our contemporary says, is os bad
for the burdened taxpayers as if the
money wasted had been stolen.
TO the statement it submits it
challenges the attention Of Colonel
Richardson the Governor. elect. This
is q serious charge, and, if true, the
News very properly challenges the
attention Of the Governor Just chosen
by the people. We will submit here
the statement Of the News, rs fol-

We peccive that the News has fol-
lowed the statement issued by Gen.
.cral 1zlar, covering the years from
$3.50 to 1880. We have that
slip in our possession and have com.
pared it with the facts as we find them
ofrecord. Whilst in the main it is cor
rect, and, having been prepared in
the Comptroller Generals Office at
the request Of the State Executive
Committee, it is authoritative, we yet
find some inaccuracies in it. The
levy for the year 1918 is stated on
the slip at 10 mills, when it should
have been ~. Again, it WAS error
to deduct the school tax Of the Dem
ocratic years, as VIC find that the ap-
pOrtiOnment for scIlOols-thcrc being
no 2 mill tax proper until 1S7S-and
the poll tax also must have entered
into the statement for the State taxes
collected under the the Republican
administrations. This will make a
stronger statement for our contempo-
rary and against the Democratic adj
ministration; but rs our purpose is to
make an accurate resume Of the 16
years of expenditure. beginning with

The Progress Of the South.

In the midst Of general though
gradual improvement in the indus.
trial condition Of the country, the
South still takes the lead as regards
the Tapidity oCits advance. The rate
at which capital is flowing in that di-
rcction is one Of the most striking
features Of the business outlook and
affords an extremely hopeful indica-
ton Of the future growth and pros.
perity of the Southern States. 1t
appears from the statistics on this
subject that, in the first nine months
Of the present year, the investment
in new manufacturing and mining
enterprises in the South amounted to
SS3,S3l, 200, while, in the same period
Of 1885, the total Of new investments
was S32,38G, 300, showing an increase
of more than fifty per cent. The di.
vcrsity Of industries represented Gin
the list is also worthy Of note, en-.
bracin8 as it does fOundries, machine
shops, gas works, electric light com.
panics, flour mills, lumber mills, cot.
ton mills, furniture factories, agricul.
tural implements factories, ice fac.
tories and great variety of miscel.
lancous industries. The new career
on which the South has entered can.
not fail to produce important and
lasting results, beneficial not to that
section alone, but to the whole c0un.

Notwithstanding the expenses en-.
countercd in the completion of the
State House and large expenditures
on the Asylum, we see that the ave-
rage expenditure for the past two
years, including State taxes, school
taxes and polls is about $4,000
more than the average cost of the
State government alone for the same
years of Republican rule. We see
an average for two years in State
taxes $906,4G4 against the Radical
average of 81 ,163,519 a year.
Now, let our contemporary sit
down before these figures and find
comfort in the assurance that we

'Do, Mr.. Devil Don't Chain Met"

A large dog belonging to a gentle.
man living in Summcrville, was stolen
from him several days before the
great shock. Like many others, the
gentleman on the night of the 31st
Of August ran out Of his house to es.
cape being crushed. While he was
moving around in the darkness the
second shock came and with it his
faithful dog, dragging heavy chain.
The animal leaped upon him but the
gentleman not recognizing him and
hearing the clanking of the chain,
threw up his arms and exclaimed {:
"Do, Mr.. Devil, don't chain me, I'll
go with you, but don't chain me-"
1t was some time before his dog
could make him understand he was
not the devil.
