me Eldest sister

How much the world ows to the
older sister in the home, writes
T. Dewitt Talmage iu his des
pertinent in the March Ladies'
Home Journal. Born while yet
the family was in limited circum-
stances, she had to hold and take
care of younger brothers. And
if there is anything that exites my
sympathy it is a little girl carry
round a great heavy child, and
getting her ears boxed because
she cannot keep him quiet. By
the time she gets to young WON.
an hood she is pale and worn out,
and her attractiveness has been
sacrificed on the altar of
sisterly fidelity, and she is con-
signed to celibacy, and society
calls her by an ungallent name,
in but heaven they call her Miriam.
In most families the two most
undesirable places in the recOr
of births are the first and last, the
first because she is worn out with
the cares of home that cannot
afford to hire help, and the last
because she is spoiled as a pet.
Among the grandest equipages
that sweep through the streets of
Heaven will be those occupied
by sisters who sacrificed them
selves for brothers. They will
have the finest Apocalyptic white
horses, and many who on earth
looked down upon them will have
to turn QUITO let them pass. And
this leads me to the thought: Let
sisters not begrudge the time and
care bestowed on a brother. 1t
is hard to believe that any boy
you know sc well as you do your
brother can ever turn out any
thing very useful. Well, he may
not be Moses. There is only one
of that kind needed for six thous.
and years. But l tell you what
your brother will be-either a
blessing OF a curse to society, and
a candidate for happiness or
wretchedness. He will, like
Moses, have the choice between
rubies and living Goals, and your
influence will have much to do
with his decision.

A Royal Recluse.

/ loitered around the grounds
for quite an hour, and then Eu-
genie reappeared, writes ada
Chester Bond in the March La
dies Home Journal, in her des'
cription of the Empress Eugene
as seen at her English home at
Marlborough Hants. 1 had an ex'
cellent opportunity to get a good
look at her as she slowly moved
about. When she Strengthened
her form she seemed to be tall.
Her figure is quite full; her waist
has lost it's graceful curved lines;
her hair is silverly gray; her
cheeks are wiinkled; and there is
no longer beauty in the face that
all the world at one time was will
ing to concede was the freshest,
the fairest and the loveliest of all
faces. Her black cashmere cloak,
trimmed with Grape, her widows
bonnet with it's long veil falling
over her shoulders, and her BLACK
gloves, made her a striking figure
as she walked in the sunshine.
Her face was ashy pale, and never
a smile passed over it. AS she
passed me, she looked up into my
face, and bowed with just an ap
proach of a smile on the sad face.
1t was a strange contrast to those
other faces that WHITEWATER had
placed on canvas-a young wo-
man, with a mass of golden hair,
shoulders that cleaned like polish
ed marble, and eyes of marvellous
beauty-Eugenie in her prime. II
was all so strange and recalled to
me Burke's lines "What shadows
weaare, and what shadows we
persue!"

The Exile Eugene

Upon her first visit to Paris
Eugenie's beauty was ravishing.
| She was likened to a snow fake
on a July day; like the fairy-like
mist hat hangs over Niagara;
like all that is purest, freshest,
loveliest in nature was the i'm
preston that she produced upon
people. Once at a great ball she
was clad entirely in white. of the
feecIes', g~auziest, mistiest des.
cription and with a very simple
parrure of emerals and diamonds
clustering in her blonde hair, loop
ing up her transparent sleeves,
and shining on her lovely neck,
she was as completely q vision of
delight as eye ever rested on.
The remainder Of the story is
known, and her marriage, her
reckless extravaganza, the war,
her downfall and ESCAPE, are tales
of history told again and again
The encouraged ~frivOlity and
spent money more recklessIy, per.
haps, than any other woman ever
did. She was conceded to be the
best.dressed woman in the world
Her wardrobe cost $1,000 O0, and
her Jewels were of fabulous value.

Her legacy of. woe is unmatched
by any woman in history. She is
all alone. Her jewels. have been
scattered to the corners of the
earth; her crown is torn asunder,
and the precious stones are now
used to decorate women she
never saw. Her steps are logged
by spies when she steals like a

Baltimore, in it's issue of February
20, says:
"There are many signs of a re-

investments, and among them are
the proposed reorganization by
the foremost fnanciers of the
country of the Richmond & West

in part to low,price cotton, in
part to the natural effects of
such worldwide panic as we had
last year, are now seen to be, as
the Manufacturers Record has
steadily claimed, only of a temp
Orary character. and while severe
for a time, they in no way destroy
the solid foundation of wealth
based ON the South's incompara-
BILE natural resources. They may
have retarded the development
of these resources for a while.
but they have only served to
show the dangers to be avoided,
and the result will be a more en-.

lIungerins Hearts.

Some hearts go hungering through the world
And never find the love they seek
Some lips with pride or scorn are curled,
To hide the pain they may not speak.
The eyes may flash, the lips may smile,
The voice In giddieSt mlrth may thrill,
And yet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart is pining SILL.
Those know their doom ami walk their way
With level steps and steadfast eyes,
Nor strive with late, nor weep nor pray
While others, not so sadly wise,
Are Knocked by phantoms evermnre,
And lured by seeminps of delight,
Fair to the eye, but at the core
Holding but bitter dust ana Dllght.
see them gaze from wlstful eyes.
I mark their sign on fading cheeks,
hear them breathe In smothered signs,
And note tue grief that never speaks.
For them no might redresses wrong.
Noeye with pity Is impaired
Oh, miscOnstrned and suffering long.
Oh, hearts that hunger through The world
For YOU does ife's dull desert hold
No Fountains shade, no date grove ialr,
Nor gush of waters clear and cold,
But sandy reaches Wide and bare,
The foot may fall, the soul may faint,
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
Yet still ye make no weak complaint,
And speak no more of grief or blame.
Oh. eager eyes which gaze afar!
Oh, arms which clasp the empty hlr
Not all unmarked your sorrows are,
Not all unpitied your despair.
Smile patient lips SO proudly dumb-
When lifes frall tent at last Is furled,
Your glorious recompenSe shall come, ,
Oh, hearts that hunger through the ~oriu

THE FARMERS BANK.
Many Stockholders UnlOadins-They
Realize the Mistake Of borrowing
Money 20 Buy Stock.

Owing TO the hard times and the scarcity OF
money many OF the shareholders are either
selling their stock, or depositiDg II at the
Bank as collateral security for needed money.
Since the bank has been established, and
their purpose has been accomplished, they
feel under no further obligation to longer
keep their money in bank stock when they
have to borrow ut a rate of Interest that Is
will declare.
The Jolly Of owning bank stock, while bor-
rowing money may be better illustrated by
showing figure or two:
The bank stock heretofore has been worth
six per cent. per annum.
Sl0O shares at that rate would bring Sc.
II the owner desires, he can borrow $50 on
1t.
II he does so, IS is taken out OF It, so that the
borrower really gets only S72 instead OF $50.
He will receive in dividends at the close OF
the year, SO on his 500 OF stock.
BY this arrangement he will be paying S2
more In advance for the use of s72 than he is
receiving a. profit on 500 OF bank stock.
With these facts before their eyes the mold
ers OF shares. who deposit heir stock and oor-
row money on it. can see how they them
selves are actually paying much money to
keep up an institution from which they ut
first exp pected TO reap some advantage.
1t In bank stock. 1t Is for him good Invest
ment. But If man must borrow money aL
ten per cent. discount-or at about eleven per
cent. .interest-almost any one can calculate
in six per cent. securities.
Bank stock u the man who borrows Is
worth not It's face value, while TO the man
who has money TO lend for the dividend to be
declared, it is worth dollar for dollar.
Notwithstanding the poor investment for
people who have not money 10 lend II Is a ia
That buyers with the cash have readily taken
all that has been offered at prices ranging
from sos to 500 per share.
A number OF shares changed hands last
week, the lowest at about s95 and the highest
ut par, and still there Is some further demand
for 1t by persons who have the money 10 in
vest.

Georgia Politicians In South Caro-
lima.

The number OF Georgia politicians ana
Georgia newspapers that seem to be trying 10
control the politics of South Carollha mas
been the subject of remark.
For instance, the editor of the Register Is
Georgian who came only a few weeks ago.
The son of the editor of the Register is con-
nected with the Evening Democrat at Green
VILE.
The Atlanta Constitution has established
an editorial bureau at Columbia. A son OF
Congressman Tlllman and nephew of Cover
nor Tillman has control Of 1t.
The Augusta Chronicle always looks after
politics in South Carolina.
Georgians, like all other good men, are
more than welcome to home In South Caro-
lima, and South Carolinians never fall TO give
their Georgia nelghbors warm place In their
hearts, but we submit that the State of South
Carolina does not need the aid of outsiders To
manage their own local affairs.
In 1876 our banners were inscribed Win
"Home Rule" as opposed to Northern inter-
ference in our domestic or local politics.
Our Northern friends have ceased their In
reference with us, but 1t looks as II oui be-
loved sister Georgia feels called upon to Inter-
medde with US and our politics to an extent
never dreamed of by our Northern neighbors.
AS far as we know our politicians and our
newspapers are attending TO their own busi-
ness, and up to this time we believe no news
paper or politician has gone abroad or sent
emissaries to other States to meddle with po-
litical affairs.
And. speaking for the Press and Banner, we
would thank Georgans to let us alone. We
further think decent self respect on the part
OF our people would dictate the policy OF
South Carolinians letting Georgia intermed-
dlers severely alone.
Their interference in our politics Is not less
distastetul than was the intermeddling with
our affairs by the Northern politicians In 1876.
Gentlemen, shinny on your own side OF the
Savannah: We are able to take care OF our
selves.
