Tennyson and His Wife,


Tennyson was devoted to his wife,
but, like n man Of true taste, no wrote
very little about his feeling for her.
That beautiful dedication beginning,
"Doar, near and true," Is that bit Of
his writing which will be most often
associated with hor name. She was o
shrewd critic Of hor husbands work,
%Tennyson has been accused of inability
to fuse the different portions of a long
poem, and the difference in style be-
tween "Tho Coming Of Arthur" and
''Tho Passing Of Arthur and tho other
"ldylls of tho King has boon oited in
illustration. Concerning this difference
Lady Tennyson said to her son only
two days before her death, "Ho said
Tho Coming of Arthur and Tho Pass
'ng Of Arthur are purposely simpler In
style than tho other idylls as dealing
with the nwfulncss of birth and death"
and she wished this statement of the
poet to be put Oh record in her sons
biography Of his father.-New York
Tribune.

The Picnic at Gray Court,

The closing exercises of Clay
Court High School were celebrated
on Saturday, June 5th by q picnic,
We venture to say it was a day
enjoyed by all who attended. The

still did credit to the pupils for
their mastery skill in rendering 1t.
The following selections were a
part of the programmes:
Recitation--Time: Eula Sim
mons; Guilty or not Guilty by
Maude Bishop; The Song Of the
Camp by Lila Simmons, Maude
Bishop, Eula Simmons, Eva Sim
mons accompanied with music on

Simmons; Geologist and Taters by

awarded TO Edward Medlock.
Prize for scholarship to Carrie

After the programme by the
school tho audience had the pleas
ure of listening to nm able and elo-
quent address by Hon. G. II. Wal

audience.
The table vas loaded with all
the dainties that culinary skill

Commencement at Princeton =.

The Commencement exercises
Of the Princeton High School have
just closed, and we think it safe to
say that this was II Of the most
successful and enjoyable Com
movements in the history OF the
School.
The annual sermon was preached
on Sunday, May 30th by Rev. Mr..
Parrot, of Clinton, S. g., who de-
livered Ii very fOrciblo discourse to
a large and ~appreciative audience.
Tho school exhibition embraced
two evenings, May 3lst and June
ist.
Wo shall not attempt to give
here the elaborate and well ar
ranged programme. Suffice 1t to
say, that with such n diversity Of
attractions Is were offered in the
way Of pretty recitatlons, plays
and dialogues dispersed with wit,
humor and pathas; with now and
then n laughable farce, to say moth
ing Of the beautiful drills, the large
audience seemed interested to tho
last and frequently gavo express
sion to their enthusiasm in loud
bursts Of applause. Tie pupils ex.
hibited careful training and did
credit to themselves and teachers.
Throughout both evenings splen-
did music was dispensed by the
Princeton Orchestra, led by that
accomplished musician, Miss Car
ric Gaines, OF Williamson, S. 9.
The annual school picnic took
place OF Wednesday on the school
grounds and was q most enjoyable
affair. Some most excellent ad-
dresses were delivered in the
morning by the following gentle
men: Hon. w. ID. Mayfe]d, State
superintendent Of Education, Hon.
A. III. Dean, Of Grcenville, Rev.
w. b. Wharton, Of HOnea Path
and Rev. S. ID. Vaughan, Prince
ton, S. G.
1t is unnecessary to speak of the
bountiful dinner; but twice the
number could have been fed.
AS a finale, the young people
had arranged Il lawn party for
Wednesday evening but this was
unfortunately broken up by rain.
Not to be outdone even by the
fates, the boys determined to try
the i%nconstant Goddess the second
time, 80 another party vas APP
pointed for Friday and proved to
be one of tho most pleasant fea-
lures Of the Commencement.
We have in our midst several Of
the fair sex. Among whom are
Mrs. II. f., kilgoro, Of Greenvillc ,
accompanied by her charming
daughter, Miss Fannie. Also, Miss
Julia and Alice Williams, Will
liamston, s. G. We hope they
may prOlong their visit.

A coterie OF Senator Tillmau's Lau-
rens friends want his connection with
the Dispensary investigated. They
make demand on Governor Ellerbe to
appoint the Investigators. They say
that certain newspapers have accused
him Of crookedness but they do NO
name the newspapers. 1t i3 worry dan
gerous to deal Observation-Disclosures
name the accussrs and be done with il.
Shoot for tho bulls eye. We are Of
those who have considered Benjamin
very honest himself, but have been
sceptical Of his surroundings. There
Is another view to take Of the sugges-
ton. There is no anticipating who
Gov. Ellerbe might appoint as an in
vestigating committee and by such
committee a white washing might
throw grave suspicion on the dis
tinguished Senator. The Laurcns
friends fail to suggest any practical
plan of investigation to Governor Ell,
lerbe, Or the names of witnesses, or
accusers, and the Governor If he be-
comes Prosecutor will ask the aid Of
the gentlemen who ask for the inves-
tigation. The following card appeared
in the Columbia State OF the 10th in
slant and will explain u remarks:
10 His Excellency Gov. w. II. Ellerbe.
Many Of the newspapers throughout
tile State are charging Senator Till
man with receiving dispensary rebates
and Senator Tillman having in his re-
cent letter made a formal demand up
on your excellency for an immediate
Investigation. Now we as Reformers,
call upon you to order an immediate
investigation. If, after a fair and i'm
partial trial, Mr.. Tillman Is found
shame that will necessarily follow. II
on the other hand he is a diudged inno-
cent let the same newspapers who have
made the charges do Senator Tillman
justice by correcting their charges
and proclaiming him an innocent man
severely prosecuted.
This we believe the wspapor of
the State will do.

ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street


NEW YORK Oct. 1S.--For the first time
in several weeks prices of stocks were at no
time during the day below the level of
those prevailing at the close the night
before. There were occasional slight re-
actions today with no better cause than
sympathy with Sugar. which was itself
markedly strong and was turned backward
at times only by profit taking Specula-
ton halted during the morning in expecta-
ton of decision by the supreme court at
Washington in the Nebraska maximum
freight rate case. Although this decision is
expected to be in favor of the railroad, and
was looked to give an upward impetus to
prices, the announcement that the handing
down of the decision had been postponed
was followed by a decided increase in the
activity of the trading. An activity at
tending the rise OF prices instead of the de-
cline of the first time in many weeks. The
strength of the granger stocks and the
awakened interest and improvement in
the VanderbltS are very notable. The
vigorous upward movement of this power
fully influential group caused a striking
advance throughout the list, net gains in
nearly all the active stocks equaling at
least point and in several special cases
equaling or exceeding two points. A fea-
ture of the market quite as striking as the
strength of the railroad stocks was the
neglect OF the industrials, except Sugar,
which was quite active, but moved some
what with irregularity within a range of
nearly three points. The money market
was noticeably easy. which was an addi-
tlonal incentive to renewal of specula-
tion. Sugar was the only stock on the
list to show transactions exceeding 90
GOO shares, and the total sales of all stocks
fell considerably below 25OOOO shares. The
bond market was not very active, but prices
were generally firm. Total sales, 81, 500, 900

POOR LO TO EMlGRATE

Choctaws and Cherokees Will Move to
Mexico Rather Than Abandon
Their Government

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1S.-A special to the
Much excitement has been caused, by
the proposed emigration of the Indians
to Mexico next splir g, when the pro-
posed Ue1ited States laws are to be put
into effect in the Territory. 1t seems that
the colony is organized and only await
ing the time to go. A. E. 1vey, leading
full-blood who is Secretary of the asso-
ciat ton and who was in this city yes
tertsay, said: You may say 1t is on foot.
It is a big move. 1 have all the plans
and details, but caUnot give them out.
There are Cherokee and Choctaw repre-
sentatives in Mexico row. 1t is to be
hoped, though, that our people will new
er be driven from their homes here by
the harsh action of Congress. This cour-
try is dear to our people. They bought
and paid, for it, The United States
pledge6 it's solemn vow that it should
be the home Of our people for all time,
but il begins to look as if that pledge
Is to be broken.
"If we are forced to give up our LANDS
and government, you may be sure we
thing the UniteG States may agree to
do. but will place ourselves under the
protection of government that has
some regard for its treaty promises.
Communicat ton is going on among our
people and the Mexican government, and
the prospect that We shall reach salts
factory agreement for removing to that
country is good. Our intention is to
arrange to have all Independent State
in Mexico, a purely Indian State, of
course. All this depends on what action
Congress takes in regard to our people
If we are forced into, a Territorial gov
ernment under the United States laws,
and our self-government, guaranteed
to us by solemn treaty, is abolished
then you will see us pull up stakes, sell
all we have, and land in Mexico, Cen
trail or South America. Our minds are
made up and negotiations looking to-
