The Rel Organized Militia.

The reorganization Of the militia
has been completed, and there are How
only sixty-eigbt companies enlisted.
Of these eighteen are composed of ne
groes.
The last annual report of the Adju-
tant General shows hat there were two
hundred aud seven companies in the
militia. This included the eighteen
@ mpanies in the National Guard and
the one hundred and ten companies that
we're organized Immediately subsequent
to the Darlington trouble. OF these
new companies only twenty-tbree
have kept up their organization and en-
listed.
A few companies vii! be given more
time in which to send in their enlist
ment blanks. as they have given good
reasons for DOT having done 80. [: is
settled, however, that the entire mill
tary force of the State will not aggre-
gate one hundred companies.
Sumter County is not represented by
a single company, and it is not probable
that there will be a company enlisted
from this county.

Is a graceful road wheel of symmetrical design and artistic
finish. 1t embodis in its construction the most advanced ideas. and we
intend it shall take its place as the standard bicycle of its class.
Equipped with League light road tires weighing 81 pounds per pair, which
are furnished, unless otherwise ordered, it weighs only 213
pounds, yet a, this very light weight the long study we have given to the
production of light wheels enables Is to guarantee it to carry
practically any weight of rider we any ordinary road. Where speed is
the chief requirement, it can be fitted with lighter rims and
tires, reducing the weight to about 20 pounds. Choice is given of either
22, "a or 26inch frame. The 24inch frame
will be found 20 fit the average rider.

Grady's last visit to his mother in the
following manner, aud no story was
ever prettier told:
The incident was related in simple
words, but tears came to his eyes as he
uttered them and there was q suspicious
moisture in the eyes of his auditor. 70
others he was Grady, the editor, orator
and eloquent champion of his beloved
South, but to his mother he was Henry
her boy. man may win honor and
distinction, power. place and fame, but
to his mother he Is still her boy; she
may be proud OF his success, prouder
than nybody else, but her mother-love
still goes out to him simply ss her boy,
Der child. And the man who forgets
!hnt he Is her mothers boy, that he ia
always such to her, add who fails to
treat her as dutiful aud grateful son
should treat his mother, is unworthy of
n mother, "the noblest thing alive"
There are those who will rend the
above to-day who will be carried back
to the time when they. too, "were
mothers boy" and who will recall the
many acts Of solicitude on her pnrt,
Memory, with it's long white finger,
will roll back the curtain OF the past
and they will live again in the days
when, to them, there was no guile. No
sweeter song IS ever heard in heaven
than a mothers lullaby over bsby's
cradle. and there Is no man who can
measure tho depth OF mothers love.

lHM DErIis OF A MoTnEI,,s LOVE

The Knoxville Tribune tells of q beau.
tiful custom observed by the late Score.
t.ry Gresham all through life, OF pay
ing visit to his mother twice year,
no matter how much important bust
noes he had to leave for the time in
order to do SO. On his return from
these visits he delighted to tell his
friends about his mother, how he en-
joyed his visits to heI and how glad
sue was always to see him. and how
tenderly she treated him. On his re.
turn from his last visit to his old
mother he said to friend:
"She is the most wonderful woman
for her age ever saw (his mother is
past SO). When / am there she will let
no one do thing for me but herself.
She insists on making the coffee and
biscuits and frying the chops because
she says she can suit my taste better
than any one else, and L believe she
can, Tor the meals she prepares taste
mighty sweet to me. Then she ar.
ranges the bed for me and slips In after
retire and tucks the covers under lust
like she did when | was boy. | am
always glad to 60 and see her, but am
always afraid that my visits will cause
her to over.exert herself. which at her
age might prove serious"
She was always beautiful to him.
The mother may grow old and the boy
may become great, strong man. but
these facts never lessen the mothers
love-to her he is always her boy.
The Tribune, in speaking of the late
Henry Grady along the same line, SAYS
that he possessed degree of eloquence
which won him fame, but one of bis
most eloquent efforts was before on i'd
miring crowd OF one, and the subject
was visit TO his mother in her modest
little home in Georgia town. 1t was
eloquent in it's beautiful simplicity, its
sincerely and tender feeling.
This man amid ell his trinmphs
never forgot the old mother. To go TO
the old home, to sleep again under the
same old roof, in the little room of his
boyhood days, was to live over again
for the time those days when he was
lees grand, but perhaps the happier.
10 have the mothers tender care filed
his heart with unspeakable Joy. Steal
ing away, as the Tribune describes it,
from the field of his achievements he
visited his mother and spent a
night at the old home, and for
the time lived over again the
life of his younger days, his
mother attending him as she had often
done when he was child, looking
Ter bis wants at fhe table, tncking the
cover around him in bed with mother

attentions bringing forth to his memory

the holidays they take on cheap help,

80 to 60 cents per day, and the army OF
