An Earnest Appeal.

MIR. EDITOR: feel constrained, by the
complaints that COMO to me from various
sources, To make an earnest appeal to the
people of this County in behalf of the
schools Some may say this is unneces-
sary, but others will know the absolute
necessity for the relief ask for.
Some OF our school houses are not COM
Portable not even sufficiently so to prevent
the teachers and pupils from suffering
from cold during this severe weather.
This ought not so to be. The parents
should provide suitable school houses,
and make them close enough to be kept
warm. They should also supply the
schools with stoves or fire places, and
plenty Of wood 1 make this appeal to
you all in behalf of the teachers and chill
dren. In some instances, while visiting
the schools, find the children during the
recitation hours with shawls and other
wraps on, and even notice occasionally q
teacher wearing cloak while at work.
This ought not so to be- In the name OF
humanity. and for the health and comfort
of your children, l beg you to see after
pend on the public school fund for pay for
it either; lett that money 20 for tuition, and
you furnish the other aids. beg the pa
irons of each school to meet next Satur
day at the school house and make what.
ever repairs that are necessary, or arrange
to have them made. I do not wonder, and
am not surprised that children do not
want to 60 to school to suffer. And it
keeps the teacher all the time in an i'll
mood. Don't take the public funds for
this; do the work yourselves, or pay for it
out of your pockets, and let the children
have the public money.
I make this earnest appeal, hoping that
it will be promptly needed, and that the
children will be cared for.
Earnestly and respectfully.

capt. Martin Stricken With Paralysis.

The readers of the INTEtL1aENCER will
read with sorrow this announcement.
Last Tuesday afternoon, during the meet
ing OF the Directors of the Farmers' and
Merchants Bank, in the Bank building,
in this city, Capt Thomas W. Martin, Of
Broadway Township, was stricken with
paralysis. The stroke came on gradually,
aud the Captain, knowing that he was be-
ing paralyZed, continued to act on such
matters as came up for consideration, vot-
ing by proxy even after he was unable to
put his hand in his pocket to get his au-
thority for so doing. He did not eYince
any excitement at the approach of utter
heIplessness, and finally unconsciousness.
but was quiet and Calm until every fac
ulty refused to act.
County's most worthy and respected citi
tilence of all who knew him. Most hon.
orable and upright in all relations Of life,
conscientious aud faithful in the discharge
of every duty, wide awake aud pro
gressive in his ideas, he had gathered
about him large circle Of friends, who
will feel profoundly sorrowful upon read
ing this chronicle of one Of our noble men.
Capt. Martin was born in this County in
1923, being now in the GSth year OF his
age, and has lived in this County all bis
life He was very hale and hearty man,
being full of energy and life, always cheer
fu! and hopeful. He served through the
late war in Hampton's Legion, being a
man full of yalor,
Long years ago Capt. Martin Joined the
Baptist Church. He was liberal and full
of charity. He wGs farmer, and made
success Of farming, having began life in
very moderate circumstances, and by hard
work and economy accumulated a nice
property. He was Director in the Far
mers' and Merchants Bank, Belton Oil
Mill and the Anderson Cooperative Store.
He has been twice married, and has de-
voted wife, five sons and three daughters.
AS soon as his condition was discovered,
Drs. W. III. Todd and j. o. Wilhite were
sent for, and had him removed to the Ho-
tel Chiquola, and did all that could be
done for him. His family was sum-
moned to hisside, but they failed to reach
him before he was unconscious.
Since the above was written and put in
type, Capt. Martin has died. Ho breathed
his last on Wednesday, at - o'clock, just
twenty four hours from the time he was
stricken. He never regained consciousness.
His remains will be inferred to-day
(Thursday) at II o'clock a. H., at the old
Rice family burying ground. The grief
stricken family have many sympathiZers
in their bereavement,

THE CITY OF THE DEAD.


THE CITY OF THE DEAD.
The dead leaves whispered as I passed,
And their rustling seemed to say,
That other feet DER them had trod,
That now in the church.ya lay.
The wind moaned through the lea1ess
trees,
Bearing its tale of love or woe,
To those who were joyous with life and
And q requiem for those lying low.
The tall grass waved in the autumn breeze,
And sighed as TO the earth 1t was bent,
a chord touched the golden sun-barred
sky,
That melancholy radiance lent.
I, too, sighed, as name after name,
On each marble shaft rose high,
l pondered what thought each bosom had
stirred,
Ere that dread summons came to die.
I first stopped by monument,
With wreaths of laurel strewn,
Which told Of deeds that make men great,
And how honor's crown was won.
IQeQ i LQrQ6Q u6 10 q WOtuaQ grave,
Where yiolets with geen lay entwined
dropped tear for the mourner's heart,
Where her image knew was enshrined.
And just where the green trees cast their
shade,
A tiny grave white marked was seen,
1t told what joys birth had given,
But shadows had rolled between.
Yet onward passed. forgetting not,
That this was sacred ground,
Treading softly, and with lowered tone,
Paid tribute to each grass-grown mound.
Then, in reverie profound,
I gazed long upon the earth,
Mans glory ends here in the tomb,
And sorrows his from birth.
A calm that was holy came over my soul,
Whispering sweet and low, this Is sleep,
Give a tender thought, thy hearts best
gift,
For the harvest which death must reap.
Then, In communion with my heart,
A lesson engraved by years was given,
All this told of the life of man,
Yet more was known in Heaven.
