Where once the rose and the lilac grew.

To catch the wine of the summers dew.

The dust lies deep on the rotting floor,
And the wind at will is coming, going
Through broken window and open door.

For the vanished things that were yours
Of yore,

OF the pang of parting and Joy Of birth

when Mother Rocks the Cradle


No sweetcr song was ever sung,
Or nstered to by queens or kings,
No richer music voiced or rung.
Than mother's when she rocks ana sILgs
No dearer tones We're ever heard,
OR borne to earth on angel wings
Than those low-breathed in tender word,
When mother gently rocks and sings
No rest more sweet than the reposc,
That sleep refreshing solace brings
When baby eyelids droop and close,
While mother watches, rocks ana sings
When years Increase and eyes grow dim.
Then almost urfCrGOtten things
Fill fading memory to the brim,
Where q dear mother rocks and sings.
How quick the pulses throb and swell.
How clear from mcmory's belfry rings
The olden story sweet 10 tell,
FIRST told where mother rocks ana sings,
Though from our homes We w81der
As LIES tine f~1--tla widely swings.
We Well may keep insight tie star,
That shines where mother rocks and
sings.
When weared with gay pleasures round
When sore wit! worldly wounds and
st.ngs.
Sweet peace and comfort may be found
Where I5rae!s mother sits and sings

A negro who was stealing a ride on a
ride on a freight train fell from the
bumpers and got a part of his left foot
cut off Friday night, just this side of
FranklInton. He was brought to Hen
derson and received surgical attention
at the hands Of Dire, Cheatham Satur
day, when his uncle came for him and
took him back to Raleigh. The re-
markable part about it is that the man
did not lose his life if the story be tells

true, says the Henderson GoIdleaf.

THE FLAG OF OUR c COUNTRY
Another Star Added, Which Makes n Total of forty=Five on the Flag Of the
 Nation,

WASHINGTON. D. C., July 3.-To- morrow the newly-designed flag of the United States containing the forty-ffth star denoting the admis- sion of Utah to the sisterhood of States will be displayed for the first time at the mast-heads of the ships of the navy and at the arsenals, bar racks, forts and other stations where the War Department is won't to fly the Stars and Stripes. The new arrangement of the stars was a diff ficult problem to solve and caused no end of hard thinking on the part of Secretaries Herbert and Lamont, The stars are arranged in six rows, the first, third and fifth of eight stars each, and the second, fourth and sixth of seven stars each. The admission of the present Territories to Statehood would not disturb this design.

A BITTER CONTEST
Between the Gold and Silver Men
 at Chicago on the Platform.

CmoAao, Ill.,, July 3.-When the delegates and politicians assembled in little groups about the hotel corridors have exhausted the more absorbing topics of conversation there obtains among them a general desire to figure out how long the convention is likely to last. The universal sentiment is that the out look for a speedy convention is far from promising. The number of contests ard other preliminary business requiring more or less time for it's disposal will be equal to that of the St. Louis cohven tion, while, on the other hand, the nomi- nations are certain to occupy much more time than did those of the Republican convention. The con- test over the constrnc tion of the platform, furthermore, will be long as well as bitter, so that an adjourn ment before Saturday would be a surprise to those fully acquainted with the length of time consumed by former convt ntions where similar conditions prevailed.

Mrs. oraven,s Marriage.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-Margaret
Craven, the actress, gave her depo-
sition to-day, telling what she knew
about the contract marriage of her
mother, Mrs. Nettie Craven, school
teacher, to the late ex-senator Jas. @.
Fair. She said that her mother pur-
posely withheld from her all intima-
ton of her marriage until, in New
York in 1892, Mrs. Craven, who. had
gone east TO see her daughter, told
her about her step-father.
"How did your mother tell you
about the marriage?" Margaret was
asked.
SShe hesitated and tried to break
it to me. Mother asked me, What
would you say if / told you was
married to the SENATOR Then she
told me about the contract marriage.
ssid did not like it and asked IL it
was legal. She said yes, / was not
particularly fond of Senator Fair. ]
asked mother II the marriage was to
be openly acknowledged. She said
no, it was to be kept secret"
Miss Craven also said that Senator
Fair had talked to her about her
