VOICES OF AUGUST.
BY THERON BROWN.

Red-cheeked daughter of the sun, If thy sultry snile | shun, Iris the need a lover pays. Hiding from thy beauty's blaze, that his heart may listen long To the soothing of thy scng. Where the tufted naples tall Share the sunbeams as they fall. Where the folded fire flies sleep. And the timid hylas peep. And the gauge winged mldgets pit, In the shadow let me sit, Gathering sounds tO entertain Drowsy ears aud doZing brain From thy may summer tune Empress Of the realm of noon. Overhead. and far remote, Thrills the lOcust's stinglng note, Mellawed by the healing tone Of the wandering wild bees drone. And hear a concert sweet Throb through all the quivering heal, Purr of wings where trochils sip From the gladiolus' lip, Song of rivulet ripplIng by Where the rattllng dragon-ny Darts, a daytime will-o'-th -wisp, Breath of leaf hid airs that lisp Nameless audible delights, Whir of small graSshopper flights All the Sunborn sounds between Summer meadows blades of green. Ruddiest daughter of the year, Nurse of respite, queen of cheer, Work and worry md surceaSe In thy insect-strainS of peace; A II my soul vacation halls In the piping of thy quails. And along thy rural chime Ring the bells of breathing time. Low of kline and bleat of sheep, CoOing pigeons song of sleep, Swallows chat and redwing's cllnk, Mewl of catbird and chewink, Ravens bark aud bittern $ shout, sound my play-day welcome out. Every hill and hedge and tree Sings a song of rest to me, And shut my eyes and dream Till the twilight's cooler gleam Calls thy cricket'S harp to aid With it's rhythmic Serenade, While Tn hazel cOppice hid, Crates The vibrant katydid, And the night-hawk down the sky Shoots his mimic thunder-cry, And the dewv silence thrills With the flutes Of whippoorwills. Ripe enchantressl witcheraft flows In thy medley of repoSe, Youth intent, and weary age, Care-worn clerk and book bent sage. Heacs that plan and hearts that wall, Sons of wealth and slaves of late. Nymphs that dance and hinds That delve. Gree of the moon-ltyed twelve, In thy season of recess Own tho hush of thy caress. And in natures woods and dells Drink the song wine of thy spells. August. languid eyed brunette, Lips with blood Of berries wet, Cheeks of Hebe's hue. thy head Auburn, lotus s-earlanded. With the dog star on thy brow, Take thy poets tribute now; Blameless bid me still rejoice In the music of thy voice, But, till autumn's touch disarmS To my sense thy feryld charms, Of thy beauty's blaze afraid, Let me love thee Tn the shade.

that" said Ward somewhat nettled by the tone of the other, "but it strikes me that you cannot have an overplus of wealth, otherwise you wouldn't be dining ct this restaurant"
 "You are quite right" said the other, I am not wealthy, but am just on the threshold of being wealthy"
 "Oh, there are lots of fellows in America in that fix," said Ward, with the cynicism of newspaper man "there isn'ta man in America but what is going to be rich some day"
 "Look here," said the other, "do you want to become wealthy"
 "Do IF we'll, you can just bet your last dollar on the fact that do."
 Every, we'll. Now, l believe that you are the man am looking for. l want fellow with 8 good ready pen, who can put an absurdity into plau- sible shape. Can you do that7"
 "Make big sensation with a three line head out of nothing?" said the other, "you bet can do it.
 "Well, that's about what l mean" answered Rodgers. "Now, of the nu- merous ways of getting rich, there are two which are dead certain. One, as has been said before, Is this: If you can in any way contribute to the vices of your fellow-men you are sure to be- come wealthy. Look st the wealth of the distillers, the brewers and the to- bacco men, of the Wall street men, who contribute to the vice of gam bling, but who do not gamble them selvee. Now, if had the patent on a new stimulant, say in the form of pill, that, being taken, would give man all the pleasures and disadvanta- ges of intoxication, 1 would make fortune"
 al suppose you would" said Ward, "still, don't know that l should care to make money in that way"
 "No, there is 8 certain humanitarian feeling that prevents many good men from going into that business. I con- fess do not share in 1t myself, and if 1 had the patent pill l should go into the business tomorrow, but, you see haven't the pill"
 "Then, you are not going to wealth by way of the pill box, are you?"
 "No, am not. Now, there is an other way of getting immensely rich, and that is by humbugging the people. There are hundreds of thousands of citizens in this and every other coun- try who wish to be humbugged. If you can humbug them in an innocent way you have the call on portion of their wealth. Nearly everyb body thinks there Is something the matter with him. Look at the tremendous amounts that have been made out of worthless patent medicines. If the medicines contain in themselves mo- thing harmful, it is my theory that they sometimes do 6 great deal of good. Perfectly imaginary, you know, 30 I think that is . perfectly legiti- mate way of getting wealthy"
 "Well, what is your patent medi- cine?" asked Ward.
 "I haven't any. Besides there are too many in the business. You have to have some originality about thing like that. Now, here Is my scheme: I have money enough to float the affair, and have ideas enough if I can get them into shape. Ifyou can put those ideas into good, readable, plausible form and throw in dash of science, as if you are perfectly conversant with electricity and magnetism and phys- ology and all that sort of thing, why, I'll take you in with me. Have you got any cash7"
 "Oh, have got enough to pay for

GIBBS a

Although we have plainly shown
our anxiety II see d company or syn
dictate buy Gibbs Spring, we are
wen aware Of the fact, that iutrinsi.
caliy IL Is of little value 10 Mr.. Gibbs
or amy n else. To prove this fact.
SIR, Gibbs has never in the twenty.
I'VE years Or more, during which he
has owned the place, realized three
hundred dollars from the use of the
water. Whatever there Is in 1t. must
come from the free use of money by
which to make it IL place Of popular
resort. Mr.. Gibbs had better sell for
one halfO his estimate and use the
money in some other departm, mt OF
business. Perhaps II is Whe high
price which he asks for the place
That ietafds the sale. The laud
around the spriug is Of little value
Tor anything except as domiciles, moi
to he crowded by bad ueighbors. We
make these suggestions with the best
feelings for our old friend, who like
US, has not many years to wait for
things to turL up, and We would ad-
wise him TO strike white the iron is
hot, no matter where the sparks fly.

WHO X THEY?

We would be derelict to our duty
were we to pass in silence any longer
the disengenuous md querulous criti-
cisIus of the Grenada Sentinel Of the
10Th on the County Convention of the
10th. For a large majority Of Demo-
Gratis, three to one, to be charged by
one of a very small minority, of boss
ISM" ''manipulation", "juglery,"
working for gain makes upa bill
of charges which we think it would
be hard to prove. What was to be
gained by the friends Of Cameron, by
STOPPING to these unworthy acts, as
snch r~eprehensible leaders would inn
pose. Were the Cameron men in the
Convention the equals of the Stone
men, while they outnumbered the
Stone adherants as three to one?
There was no cunning OF quibbling
ut all. But in plain language, we
would like to know VINO these ''bosses"
"juglers,' "manipnlators' and 'men
welding their iuilup1Ue for guln':
Let us know them, and brand them
in the future, as enemies Of the Demo-
cratic party. The doleful, jeremiah
wall which the Sentinel sends up, as a
warning to the Democracy, has an
air Of ~insincerity in it that makes us
believe the editor was laughing in his
sleeve when he wrote it. The idea of
this county going for Stone with four
out Of five beats against him, is the
widest guessing, or the most reckless
assertion over couched in so many
words.

The Masonic lecture of Rev. DR.. Law
son, of the Episcopal Church, was
both entertaining and instructive in
the highest degree. Tracing the his
tory OF the Craft from the time Solo
mon and Hiram, and the erection of
the Holy Temple at Jerusalem down
To the present day, was indeed a
labor of love and research, and DR..
Lawson proved bis mastery ability
ia handling the subject, throughout
the entire intervening ages, ZONE
times riding a sea of popular conf
dences, and then struggling under
the hate and power of Ignorant des-
potism, Although not u creation of
divine appointment it ial received
the blessing of the universal Aruhi-
tect that shaped all the physical
energies Of matter, the moral and
elevating% influences Of religion. Kis-
ing and falling, but eve extinguish-
ed, ever in the long night that pre-
creded the REFORMATION" of Luther,
it has u history peculiar and even
wonderful ia its c%onquering results.
We only regretted 50 small an audi
ence On such All important subject,
handled by such an able scholar and
exemplary Mason. w hope to see

ton OF the inquirlng multitude.

A BAD St.AIE OF THINGS.

We say it without Partially that
we have as good people and as good
institutions, as any town OF county
with similar population, and yet it
seems we are inadequate to the pro-
lection of each other. Murder is hor-
rible enough when it is solitary and
done for revenge or money. But cold
blooded conspiracy of murder almost
shakes ones faith in human conf
dence. Two murders in ten days and
each involving several as identified
with each, and neither for money or
revenge, but to get persons out Of the
way who know something not credit
able to others, shows gangrene spots
i'll I'LL body polite. Under such u
stale of things it is better to be blind
and dumb, as such can neither see or
talk. We have always opposed Or
CARNATIONS above Or outside of the
laws, but we are not sure that the
better element of society, will not
whenguilt is conclusive, from dire
necessity have to unite in self defense
and deal with capital criminals at
once This is a terrible remedy,
but society must protect itself when
it is pushed to extremes. We wish
u town and county to prosper but
they cannot under such conditions
as now shock the public ear. Any
how, the laws must be obeyed If
the Sheriff has to keep q county
posse nearly all the thine to aid him
in executing the laws.

z LEASANr NIGHT IN A PLEASANT


We love occasionally to get away
from town and spend a quiet night
with some of our country friends.
Knowing this our friend, Judge J. H.
Bailey living one mile and u half south
of town brought in an extra horse for
our special benefit, so that we might
break bread with him in the social
rights of practical hospitality, which
we cheerfully accepted. The bou-
yancy of the country air, the rich
mantles of green which covers all
nature outside of town, the pleas
igiHn rich contrast to the duh monoto-
ny and daily rotine ofthe town. Then
the simple but complete cooking Of the
industrious housewife in itself is IN
invitation that we never, ignore with
its rich, plentiful supply of sweet
milk and butter, large, soft, brown
delightful biscuits, well done and
buttered and fried chicken, at once
stimulates the gastric juices of the
stomach for a good square meal.
Judge Bailey is n of our best, but
not largest farmer. Although every
thing around him works at the proper
time, henever has a poor horse or
mule, COW or hog, which speaks vol
umes in his favor. Faircr corn we
never saw and his cotton is the very
expression of hopeful fruition. If any
boly doubts the truth of these aver
ments, do as we did and prove the
facts for yourself. 70 Jim Bailey and
wife we are under obligations for
courtcsies.

On monday night about twenty
five or thirty young men, mostly
single, met In the court house for the
purpose Of forming u relief society.
The object is a good one aud retlee 8
credit upon the intelligence, and be-
nev0lent feelings of all concerned.
MIR. Aleck Hebron was called to the
chair aud Mr.. Will Jennings APP
pointed Secretary. Mr., W. Il. Burns
in a few well expressed remarks told
the aims and purposes of the associ-
alton, which were supplemented BY
the writer on a call from the meet
ing. Let it be understood that the
aims of the association have nothing
to do with prices, wag' s for services,
but to help each other in times Of
sickness by u small assessment on
each member per week. After some
general remarks all around, the
meeting appointed a committee of
three to draft u constitution with
bylaws to report at their next meet;
ia.s O.. uvAU monday night at Ihe
court house. Every clerk in town
should and will join, and make 1t
one of the best and most honorable
associations ofthe day. This is new
organization, but one that is bound
to spread until the thousands Of
clerks are bound together in frater'
nal relations for relief in sickness.

After dlligent inquiry and studious
investigation as to the facts in the two
murder cases, now before the public,
we do not know that we can throw any
more light upon the transactions than
that which the people now know. So
we have concluded to be silent as to
the guilt of the parties involved in the
trouble until they shall be fairly and
closely invootigalcu by tile rnopot tri
Dunals. To mislead public opinion in
a case where a mans life Is in danger,
we could not do, and to do the same
through ignorance ofthe facts would be
painful In memory through life. There
fore let the law take Its due course, and
let the gnilty suffer, and the innocent
be spared.

ALIVE SHOULD BE,

We are daily asked who is to be
the choice of the democracy for the
next House of Representatives, and
our reply is that we do not know.
This however, we think we know,
that he should be a titst-class man
intellectually aud morally; a man OF
decision aud courage. AS it is likely
that serious questions of vital i'll
terests to the people will be consider.
ed, our Representative should be
able to understand the full intent
and purpose of every bill introduced,
and take an active part in passing or
defeating any bill, for the public good
or calculated to do harm to the body
polite, or compromise the strength
and unity of the d mncratic party.
Amongst the many questions to BE-
presented, are the Constitutional
Convention bill, restricting the pow
ers and franchises Of railroads, cur
failing the expenses of our educa-
tional and elenosinary INST tutinS
the p%enitentiary leasing system, the
reduction of the salaries of our State
and Judicial officers, ETC., etc. These
are all matters of great interest TO our
people, and our member should be a
man of strong but conservative con
victions, aud able to stand by them.
After the above was in type, we re
ceived in manuscript, the call on Hon
J, G. Lonsstreet. He fills the Dill eX'
actly, and If he will heed the almost
unanimous call Of his fellow citizens
