Capt. Stanmore B. Ryan Takes a
Hand at the Bellows.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS you well know
l am no newspaper scribler, but
there are times when every man
possessing the least acintilla of
patriotism or any regard for the
public veal, should condemn in
some way, with no uncertain
sound, such infamous and un-
pnrdonable and unrighteous swing
ing on to office as manifested by
Messrs. Gaines and Yeldell of
Greenwood county. 1 didn't vote
for Yeldell, and am glad l didn't,
But it matters not now, Mr.. Edi.
tor, to him personally, if he re.
signs his Edgefeld office, or still re.
fuse to do so, he's a dead cock in
the pitt" all the same and il
ready for interment. And SO
will simply append his epitaph
end pass on.
"Tread softly round this sacred heap
1t guards ambitions restless Sleep
Whose greed for place ne'er did for
sake him.
Don't mention office, or you'll awake
him."
Ysrbun sat. But I did expect
Mr.. Editor, a better and brighte
record for Milton Gaines-alway

WHY IS 1T?

Some find work where others find rest,
And SO the weary world goes on.
I sometimes wonder which is best,
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go.
Some hearts beat where some hearts
break,
| often wonder why It's so.
Some will faint where some will fight; !;
Some love the tent and some the field.
1 often wonder who are right
The ones who strive or those who
yield.
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife,
And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread
In tireless march thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fled; !;
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash; |;
Some fall back where some move on;
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave,
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their names above grave.
Father Ryan.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD
The Passfng-AWay of NrssR,
b. Dorm at GreenwOOd.--She
Wrote Pathetic Letters
Found After her
Death.

The death of Mrs. R. B. Dorm
at Greenwood last week was q
peculiarly sad one. She had gone
to Greenwood on a visit to her
sister, Mrs. Bracknell, about q
week before, to spend several days,
She had been in bad health for
some time and it was hoped that
the change would benefit her. She
grew worst soon after her arrival
there and died about q week after.
She leaves q husband and four
little motherless grill. 1t seems
that she had anticipated her death
for some time, as since her death
two letters were found in her trunk
which were written last September,
one addressed to her husband and
children, and the other to her
parents. At the request of many
friends the family have consented
for these letters to be published,
and they are given below. These
letters are filled with womanly
love aid for pathetic expostulation
and tender solicitude we have
never seen them equalled.
Very few will be able to read
them without shedding tears, and
