'Tis scarcely month since the angel OF
death rapped loudly ut our door, and we
fain would have bartod him out, but Gods
will must be done, b on the evening Of
May 5th, he entered aad bore away In bis
lev embrace the pure spirit OF our dar.
ling son and brother, Alfred M. Neal.
He was cut down In the midst of his
purity and in the bud Of his sweet, young
manhood. With many pang and many
heartache did ne see his dear young
body consigned to the tomb. Alfreds
was true heart and pure soul, from
whose centre emanated streams Of kind
ness aud love for every one he knew.
Though taken from the home where affeo'
ton held him dear, ana love was his daily
portion, we feel sure he has been trans.
ported to more beautiful home where
pleasures are real, and happiness eternal.
We cherish his memory as green isle In
the sea of time, and the waves never
stepped an isle Of purer charms. Dear
departed one we hope to meet you in that
bright haven, cover there"
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love had given;
And though the body molders here,
The soul is safe in Haven.

ST.. LOUIS, June IA special to the
Republican from Arkansas City, Ark,
gives the details of terrible cyclone
which swept through the city last night.
The Methodist and Baptist churches and
several residences we're wrecked, while
the roof of the Arkansas elevator, in
which is located the Missouri Pacific
depot, was blown across the tracks, de.
molishing a number of loaded freight
cars. The only lives lost we're those of
Kate Walton, aged 15; Tudy Walton,
aged 9; Mrs. Walton, the mother, was
badly injured, and another daughter,
Lizzie Walton, had hip dialocated.
SEATTLE, W. T., June This city
has been almost wiped out by the flames.
Nothing but smoking ruins mark what
was yesterday the business portion of one
of the most prosperous towns on the Pa.
ci6c coast. It is estimated that the loss
In buildings alone will reach SIC, 100000,
and that the loss of personal property
will swell the amount to almost $50, ,000,.
600. Sixty.four acres comprised the
business district. It is not yet known
whether there is much loss of life. The
burned district presents the aspect of q
huge oven of burning Goals, and threatens
even further destruction. Crowds of
people, penniless aud homeless, wandered
through the streets all night. The mill.
tia and extra police are guarding the
property against thieves and vandals.
Over 100 arrests have already been made.
The flames totally destroyed every news
paper Office, hotel, telegraph Office, rail
road depot and wharf, the entire water
'front.' including all wharves and docks,
coal bunkers and railroad tracks, the
wholesale quarter and everything south
of Union street and west of Second street,
and reaching around to the gas works
above Fourth street on Jackson. Eleven
churches we're destroyed.
CHARLESTON, June 8.-As freight
train of twenty three cars, mostly loaded
with lumber, was coming into the city
over the Northeastern Railroad at II
O'Clock last night, and when between the
city and the junction, the engine left the
track and q number of carloads of lumber
were wrecked. Engineer Dunning was
killed on bis engine the fireman, John
Davis, colored, died at three o'clock, and
q car sealer named James Corcoran, a
white man, died at about the same hour.
Where the accident occurred the tracks
of the Northeastern and the South Caro-
lima railways run close together and the
lumber and wrecked cars were piled upon
both tracks. The train from Columbia
was due within FIVE minutes, but the
conductor Of the freight, who was not
injured, sent runner back and signalled
the Columbia train, which was stopped
just before reaching the scene of the
Observation-Disclosures a horrible double
wreck might have ensued. The spreading
of the track at that point is thought to be
the csuse.

a single mile in thirty. nine seconds,
and eight miles covered at this prodigous
speed, was the record made the other day
on the Bound Brook Railroad by Engine
No. 206, of the Wootten pattern, that
drew the fast train which leaves Phila.
delphia at 7:30 A. M. There were FIVE
cars in the train, and John Hogan. q
veteran engineer, was in the cab. The
speed recorded is equivalent to a rate of
over ninety miles an hour. 1t has been
decided by the Pennsylvania Railroad to
send one Of its best engines to England
to be tried on The roads there. 1t will
make its first appearance on the London
and Northwestern Railroad. As the
English railroads are much straighter

are much interested to see what an

Honea Path Items.

Last Friday afternoon the Academy
building Was literally packed with people
eager to witness the exhibition Of the
school, which consisted of dialogues, reci-
tations, &c. It was estimated that between
one thousand and fifteen hundred people
were in and around the house. The even
ing was warm, but Notwithstanding all the
inconYeniences the people sat, stood and
stopped for about seven hou1s, and looked
on and listened with intense interest to
|. the close. The teachers and pupils acquit-
ted themselves with great credit. It was
q grand success, when we remember that
Prof. Watkins only gave one week for
practice. The Due West String Band dis.
coursed sweet music during the evening.
One Of the most interesting features of the
occasion was an address by Col. ]. Il.
Rice, State Superintendent of Education.
The speech was plain and very practical,
giving the law governing the Office Of
+ Commissioners and Trustees. But, like
the preacher who preached a special SER
mon for the benefit of certain members,
he finds that he nearly always has to
preach it in the absence of those members.
Neither Commissioners or Trustees were
present. We were glad to seein the audi-
ence Prof j. G. Cork, of Ninety-six, Edi-
tor Langston, of Anderson, Mr. J. N.
Watkins, of.Anderson, Mr.. H. Dargan, of
Greenville, Mr.. Newton Mitchell, of Mid
way, and many others who oheered ns
with their presence. We now find that
our teacher is SO popular that we are
forced to give him up or make more
room to accommodate the school, so we
hive appointed meeting for next Thurs
day afternoon to decide what additions
will be necessary. Of course we mean to
keep him (Watkins) if we have to build
all over nm acre Of ground.
Dr.. ". J. Dargan, of Greenvllle, was on
visit to his daughter, Miss Anna, who
has been teaching so acceptably in our
school tor the past few months. We are
very anxious for her to; be assistant
teacher next session, We think that she
will:come back and teach if she don'tget
- - we'll, I Twill not say that yet. "a,
Miss Lille Rice, Of Seneca, has glad
dened the hearts of her many friends by q
visit. She once taught music here and is
very popular will. our people, especially
with tile we'll, you may guess the
rest. {. s s 80 g

Comfort for Young Poets.

DIR. T. NJ. Coan gives a piece Of
advice 10 young writer's which may be
Of service to some Of them; at least it
will plea>e some. lie says: Write
poetry You cannot write too much, if
only You will spare your friends. Dis
cipline yourself, hut do mo- ask any one
to read or to publish the verse you
write.
q Verse making is the best possible
practice for writing prose it trains you
in the careful choice of words; it forces
upon your consciousness a host of syno-
nyms that YOU might never stop to find
when you are ambling along in prose I;
it makes you think Of clear expression,
of melody, Of WITNESS, Of conciseness-
of every quality, indeed, that prose as
we'll As poetry demands. Verse-writing,
in word, IS the best possible tonic for
the INDECENT writer Of prose for one can
not write sven tolerable verse without
taking pains.
