AT ua"n or DUSK that sacred camp.
Wnere peacefully, meath shade and
sun,
Repose the brave Of Arlington.
Beneath the pines uplifted crest
Sweet blossoms fall on many a breast
No roll of drum or fife so shrill
Can wake the sleepers on the hill;
Above the carpet nature spreads,
Ger all the violets lift their heads,
And once day the sunset gun
The soft leaves stir at Arlington.
No thrilling dreams OF war invade
The camp deep in the cedar's shade;
No charge across the crimson plain
Could rouse the dead to life again.
Beyond the river, flowing down
Past ruined fort and ancient town.
The Nations dome shines in the sun
Which lights at monday, Arlington.
O, sacred bivouac meath the rose!
Thy tents rest secure from foes;
The fight that stirred their hood OF
yore.
In vision past forevermore;
And once year the fragrant bloom
or May falls softly on each tomb.
The land is peace, the victory won.
o, love invested Arlington!

she has completed the course in medicine
in the Woman's Medical college, in Balti-

missionary. She is to go to the foreign

First Presbyterian church here. Her field
of labor is Korea she will return to Rock

OVERWHELMED. WITH LETTERS.

The far reaching effect of a newspaper
paragraph, especially, if it contains infor-
nation of practical value, is something
that but few people ca n appreciate except
through practical experience. A case in
point has just come under the observation
of THE ENQUIRER.
Not long ago there appeared in these
columns statement to the effect that M rs.
R. L. Ferguson, of Yorkville had the Sc
cret of making a remarkable vegetable
salve that had proved an infallible cure
for certain forms of cancer, and although
she had been makingit for twenty years
with uniform success, she had never
charged anybody for it.
Within week after the publication OF
the article, Mrs. Ferguson had half dozen
or more letters from different parts OF
York county, and several applicants in
person. The letter writers, in most cases
failed to even enclose return postage, and
the personal applicants acted as though
they had first lien on the entire stock of
the remedy then on hand. Mrs. Fergu-
son saw at once that she would not be able
to look after the cases that were likely to
apply, and she made haste to get rid OF the
whole matter by turning it over to DR..
Miles Walker.
But that was not the end of it. The ar
ticle was republished in the Gastonia
Gazette, the Greenville Mountaineer,
the Johnston Monitor, the Anderson
Peoples Advocate, and probably numer-
Gus other papers. Anyhow within 10
days or such a matter, letters Of inquiry
commenced coming in from almost
every section of the State, and later they
began to arrive from Georgia, North
Carolina and Tennessee. Some contain
ed stamps for reply, some money, and
some offers to pay any reasonable
amount that might be demanded i'll
the event the salve should actually do
all that is claimed for it, and others
wanted it for nothing.
And still the interest continues. The
answering of these letters has become a
considerable part of DR.. Walkers cor
respondence. He had about come to
the conclusion that The ENQUIRER
goes pretty nearly everywhere until

to fix all age limit, and that this might
