BE NOT DISMAYED.

So 1--we that when Death comes to thee, o
friend,
His hand upon thy door may not af
fright;
That whether comes he in the starless
night,
AT dawn, or noon. grim fear shall not at
Upon his kindly step: his touch will be
Gods sign and seal to set thy spirit free
Speech hath he none. and yelled the face
he wears;
Yet known to all the silent, unseen guest,
And to each soul the import Of the quest
He makes wherever life her flame-torch
bears.
Unheard he comes, for peace hath shod
his feet;
Thoult in his breast her joys supecnal
meet.
No beggar he: yet none may disallow
His attitude of waiting for the gift
He claims-and takes! To win the souls
last shrift
Shrink not o friend, though on thy fevered
His kiss falls chilli life's subtlest secret
The corn of wheat beneath the winters
SHOWS.
What though the windows of the soul
Within the shadow of the presence dread?
Beneath the shade of Pisgahs height are
spread
Fair Canaan's plains. and Jordan's silver
rim.
When fades the light of earth to dying
Gods promised Land" shall on their
sight arise.
And death will guide to meads and pastures
fair
To living streams whose noiseless foun-
tains flow
From out Gods throne: whose magic
waters go
To heal the nations, conquer pain and care
Go then with Death! Be not, o friend
dismayed
When thou in his strong grasp thy hand
hath laid.

There is one amusing feature about wheel

the wheelman was astonished to hear her
call out:
Coming, dear?"
The. wheeman didn't answer: he telt

kept silence.
''All out of breath, dear?'' she called
again.
And again the wheelman made no reply.

The wheelman thought so too, but he
made no mention of the fact.
"Does it tire oor little armies so muchee:

That was too much for the wheelman. He
put on steam and passed the lady. AS he
whirled by she caught sight of his smiling

"Oh, I beg your pardon" she cried, and

That evening Harold and his sister
sat moodily in the room in which their
father had died. They had always
avoided the room, and now they Won
dered at their presence in it. Some
strange fascination was upon them.
They were growing morbidly supersti-
tious of late. A candle sputtered on a
table between them, Illuminating feebly
the darkness. The white covering of
the bed on which the miser died loomed
family in the shadows and looked not
unlike a crouching ghost about to
spring from the gloom. Harold gazed
intently at the blurred drapery until
the whole scene flashed on him again;
he could see his fathers face distorted
in death agony, and hear the whispered
words drop from his lips: He sprang
to his feet, exclaiming harsh,y: "On,
on" Then turning to his startled sis
ter, asked:
'Hettie, can't you think what father
would have said after 'on'? See if you
can't put your head to work. This is
the point at which we should have
started long ago." .ss ~.

A Most Enjoyable Occasion.

For the past three weeks Capt VIM.
Burress, OF Baldwin, Miss, has beer Wis.,
ting relatives and friends of this city and
County.
Capt. Burress was born in Anderson
County and lived hero until his seven
teenth year, when his father, Mr.. Thorn
as Burresa, removed to Mississippi. Once
before, twenty-five years ago, he visited
the land of bis %boyhood, and now. when
be has almost reached his three score and
ten years, 1t has been to his relatives and
friends an indescribable pleasure to en-
terrain him again. It was in his honor,
then, that tho Burrcss and Watson fami-
lies met ut Jolly's Spring last Friday,
July 1G, and enjoyed a reunion, a pic mic
and O barbecue.
More than one hundred representatives.
of these two families we're present TO do
honor to this respected relative.
Two other relatives from a distance,
Miss Alberta, the daughter of Capt. Bur
ress, and Miss Kathleen Ayer, from Ma
con, Ga, added pleasure to the occasion.
Under the skillful management of Mr..
Joe MCGEE, both the fatted calf and the
fatted pig were barbecued, and at 2
o'clock a table, loaded with eatables sub
stantial and eatables dainty, was sur
rounded by these relatives and q few in
vited friends, and tor an hour all were
engaged in executing not the least enjoy
able part of the programme.
Just after dinner a rain prevented gen.
eral conversation, and perhaps caused
the home-going to take place at an earlier
hour, but the day was enjoyed by every
one, and will be one long and lovingly
remembered by Capt. Durress and his
relatives. N. M II.

Gov. Ellerbe Makes o Denial.

COLUMBIA, c., July lis G.. Mayfeld,
candidate for the Senate, has in his latest
campaign speeches had something to say
about Governor Ellerbe having told him
that he proposed to form q new party Of
conservative conservatives and conserva-
tive reformers; and that the Governor
had declared his purpose to back McLau-
rim with the full force Of his Administra-
tion.
Asked about this, Governor Ellerbe ey-
pressed great surprise that Mr.. Mayheld
should have made such q statement. He
said that Mayfeld came into his Office
and gave information of his intention to
be q Senatorial candidate. Mayield then
asked the Governor what course he would
pursue, desiring to know If the Governor,
because OF his appointment of McLaurin,
was going to make any special effort to
secure his election.
Governor Ellerbs replied that while
McLaurin was in the Senate by virtue OF
an executive appointment, that would
not bias him and he would lei the Sena-
torial race run its own course, provided,
however, none Of the candidates assailed
him and his Administration, in which
case he/would be obliged for self-preser-
walton to oppose the man who had drag
ged him into a campaign in which he had
no part or parcel. TO this, of course, Mr..
Mayfeld could make no objection.
In 8 friendly and confidential way, the
Governor informed Mayfield he had
heard it WAS his intention to make the
race as an old or original Reformer and
attempt to draw the factional lines in or
der to profit by q bitter division of the
people. AS q friend he advised him not
TO pursue such o policy, stating his belief
thai the best people of the State were get
ting together, irrespective of past faction
al differences, and that public sentiment
would not approve an effort to divide the
white voters Of South Carolina into two
hostile camps.

aminatiOns.

There will be held at each County seat
in the State on August 18th, under the
direction of County Superintendent Of
Education, an entrance examination for
students, male and female, who may wish
to enter the South Carolina College.
This Is done for the convenience Of the
students, to save time and expense, and
above all to give opportunity to any appli.
cants who may fail to pass any part of the
examination to review such study during
the month of September, and to try the
examination at the College, September %
20, when the usual entrance examinations
are held.
This plan promises to be a great con-
venience to the patrons OF the College, and
8 great aid to backward students, enabling
them to take advantage really of two en-
trance examinations, with an interval to
study up on any branch in which they
may be deficient.
The applicants will be informed by the
Goth of August how they have passed, and
what they need to study further, and will
be advised on all matters relative to their
expected entrance into the College.
At the same time and places competi.
tive examinations will be held for Normal
Scholarships, two Of which are awarded
In each County of the State. These carry
with them the remission of fees to the
amount of $50.

A special to the Atlanta Constitution

people along the line Of the Columbia &

able to bring it about. The change will
be welcomed all along the line, and we
believe would prove profitable to the

Senator TilIman's D~ispensary Law.

Senator TilIman's Dispensary bill has
passed the Senate, but it will hardly pass
the House. fit should pass both Houses,
however, and BIO approved by the Presi-
dent, we are satisfied that it will not pass
the United States Courts, which have in
recent years been the sole defeoce OF u
people from the tyranny and oppression
of f~actional legislation. The bill pro-
vides that all fermented, distilled or 9th.

Territory for use, consumption or sale
shall be subject to the operation and Of
feet Of the laws Of such State, and shall
not be exempt by reason OF being intro

use or otherwise, and each State shall
have absolute control Of such liquors
within It's borders, by whomsoeyer
produced and for whatever use imported.
That appears to be "horse high, bull
strong and pig tight" and it would prob
ably stand but for the fact that the pro-
vision OF tho Constitution controlling the
aside by an act of Congress. AS long as
the State itself Is engaged in the liquor
traffic, not in the exercise of the police
power but for the money that 1t can make
out OF it, dealers in liquor from other
States cannot be restrained from the X
ercise OF their constitutional rights. The

ions, Sis an attempt under the gnise OF

Both laws are fraudulent in their purpo-
ses, and the Courts will tear away all
