The above is the title of poem,
which in our humble opinion de-
serves a place along side of Henry
w. Longfellow's, "a Psalm of life"
The sentiment is beautiful, and it
is beautiful because it is the truth
expressed in simple la, guage ar
ranged In such a manner as to ap-
peal directly to the reader. We
reprint the paem below rs we be-
lieve it should have a place in the
scrap book of all the TIMES reard-
ers and its truths a place in the
life of all.
THERE are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true!
Then give to the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
Give love and love to your life will flow,
A strength in your utmost need
Have faith, and score Of hearts will show
Thr faith in your word and deed
Give truth, and your gifts will be paid in kind.
And hope will honor meet.
And a smile that is sweet will surely find
"A smile that is just as sweet
Give pity and sorrow 10 those who mourn;
You will gather, in flowers again,
The scattered seeds from your thought outborn,
Though the sowing seemed but vain.
For life is the mirror Of king and slave,
'Tis just what we are, and do.
Then give to the world the best you have.
And the best will come back to you.

Lodged In jail.

East Maryvillereporter for the Knox
vile Journal.
Through the courtesy of Sheriff
Sam Walker your correspondent
was allowed to enter within the walls
of the county jail, where an inter !
view was held with Charles Simpson.
Heis among others charged with the
foul assassination of Blain Bishep
one Sunday last September, near
Morganton Loudon county, Tenn
essee. He was arrested last Thurs
day near Bushnell, N. c., by Con-
stable Nathan Spradlin and John
Fezell, of Cade's Cove, this county
Quill Rose, of Nor h Carolina.
According to Simpsons story he
has been staying good portion of
his time since the murder with Quill
Rose and regarded him as his friend.
1t seems from facts gathered that
Rose, who is an Uncle of Theo Rose,
wanted for killing Harvey BirchReld
a few years ago, and still at large,
began to be alarmed that Simpson
who is a simple-minded youth of
twenty-one years, would reveal the
whereabouts of Theo Rose to officers
and cause his arrest. Simpsons ar
resttollowed, according to his story.
When asked if he heard the shoot
ing on the Sunday evening Bishop
was killed he replyed that he did.
"Where were you when the shots
were fi-ed?'
81 was with Ed Blankenship in the
orchard eating peaches"
Ut will be rememberd that Blanken
ships statement, in the interview
your correspondent had with him
when he was brought to this place
few weeks ago was, when asked if he
was with any one he heard the shots,
that he was alone. Now, Simpson
says that they were together at that
time.
Whenauestioned as to whether he
killed Bishop or whether he knew
who did he was entirely innocent of
everything concerned with the killing.
When asked if he saw Bishop after
he was killed he said that he did not
because he did not like to see dead
person. He was then asked when
he left He replied: "On Wednes-
day after the killing on Sunday"
On being asked where he had
been all these months since the
murder he said he had been at Duck
town, Tenn, and at the home OF
Quill Rose in North Carolina, and
said he had been with Theo Rose
most Of the time since. He is also
charged with releasing Theo Rose in
Cade's Cove few months ago when
the officers came upon him. He said
that he would rather 60 to Loudon
and stand trial for the murder as
charged than stay here and be tried
for the offence against him.
He is just boy of twenty years Of
age and possesses a countenance no
Of the hardened oriminal, but from
his demeanor during the brief intei.
view with him his guilt could not be
concealed.
is said by those in possession o
the facts in the case that Simpson il
the principal actor in that deadly
tragedy, and sufficient evidence il
forthcoming TO convict him Of tina
foul assassination. He admitted t.
your correspondent that he had beer
at outs with Bishop before this time
but said that they were on gooc
terms at this particular time.
There is a reward of two hundred
dollars offered by the governor of thc
state for the conviction of this youn,
man who as yet is mere boy, bu
charged with 6 ave crime, and whit
also knows of the whereabouts o
Theo Rose, fugitive from justice
for three years or more.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE board
convened By Acting Secretary Roose,
velt to consider the project for dry
docks, have been in session during the
day and will continue to examine into
the matter as long as Admiral Bunce
can be absent from the New York Navy
Yard. The Bureau of Yards and Docks
is now having condemnation proceed
lngs made at Port Royal, s. O., pre-
paratory to dredging a channel to the
dock at that place. This dock is large
enough for the Indiana or any of the
battleships, but cannot be reached
owing to the shallow channel. Work
q dredging the channel should have
been begun before, but it was necessary
for the government to acquire a strip
Of land upon which to deposit the
dredging and to make a channel which
would not be filled up as soon as it was
completed. Early next month a con
tract will be let for dredging a channel
deep enough for the large ships.

JUDGES IN FOR l T

These Federal Judges think they are
in for life. Judge S liras, OF the United
States Supreme Court, who voted first
for the income tax when they were
trying to force these money kings to
pay revenue to run this country, is an
other one of them. He decided for the
income tax and then changed his
mind" and said, ''the tax was uncon-
stitutional, and vast millions we're lost
to the country and the burden fell upon
you and such as you.
Nov, I say here what I said when I
shocked" the State, that these Federal
Judges think they are in for life, are
independent Of the people, with salaries
of S., OCO or S., 600, and think their
salaries will get larger as the years roll
by, the dollar rising under the gold
standard. Now I want to remind these
e ntlemen that John Adams in 1901
appointed a lot of Federal Judges for
life to keep down the Republican, after
wards Democratic party. He appointed
them, they were sworn in and took
their Offices. But Jefferson, as soon as
he was sworn in, in March, 1901, took
those judges bythen nap Of their neck and
flung them into the ditch. Naughter.)
He got his Senate and House Of Repre-.
sentatives to repeal that law and they
did it. And Adams judges had moth
ing left but a funeral! And if the peo
get possession of this government they
may take the judges who stand in with
corporate wealth against popular rights
and throw them into the garbage
gutter.
NO REsPECT FOL THE ROBBERS OF LABOR
Now, call that brutal" Well, the
brutality" will go on. (Applause.)
They say that I don't show the prop
er respect for these judges. Well, I'm
not brimfull of respect for that crowd
anyhow.
If you could get a reduction Of rates
on the railroads that are able to pay
good dividends IN the property inves
ted in them-buG there are some that
are not, some of them are bankrupt
and nobody wants to bankrupt them
further-then you would get the benefit
of those reductions; and the farmers,
no matter what their politics are, should
stand together in favor of this.

ABOUT

Yes, talk about millionaires. I'm viii
ling for a man to be a million al g, but
l want him tt be an honest one. Some Of
them are good people, and someare the
worst class of people. There are idle
ones living in idleness and debauchery
they are not entitled to the respect of
respectable people.
1 have the greatest respect for the
daughters of this people On these green
hillsides in the county of Wake who
do the work and spend their time in
daily toll for father and mother and
brother and sister, go to church on Sun
day, and pursue the paths of peace and
virtue. say Ihave more respect for
them than l have for all the idle daugh.
ters of society that the world ever saw.
And I want them to have respect for
themselves, and to know that they are
just as good al the daughters of any
millionaire or queen that ever wore g
diadem.
am glad that a man like George
Vanderbilt buys our lands and pays
our people big prices and lays out
parks and establishes experimental
farms for u people. He does the
world good. He does US good. He's
entitled to our gratitude. I have no
reproach against them because they are
millionaires they " as good as any
other. white man, if they will behave
themselves. Qaughter.)
1say these things to you because 1
believe they are the best for you, and
not because have any selfish purpose
in doing SO, prolonged applause.)

REPORT.

the Virginia Organization.

A meeting OF Richmond Chapter.
Daughters Of the C~onfederacy. was held
Friday for the purpose OF giving infor-
nation concerning the proceedings OF the
convention OF the United Daughters re-
Gently held in Baltimore.
The Grand Division Of Virginia, which
takes its name from the Grand Camp OF
Virginia, United Confederate Veterans,
had never belonged 10 the United Daugh-
ters. At a meeting OF the latter, held In
Nashville a year go, a proposition and
terms offered by the Grand Division were
never read by Mrs. Kaines, then presl-
dent. but were orally stated. They were
misunderstood and the matter was not
settled. A committee was appointed by
the L. ID. c. TO confer with one from the
Grand Division. with instructions TO re-
mort al the Baltimore meeting.
The report was made and the Grand
Division. recognizing the fact that injury
TO the cause was being done by further
DELAY. announced its former resolutions
by flll consent OF the Chapters. agreeing
10 the membership clause which, although
Containing no material difference, was
more definitely expressed; that they
would nay ten cents tax required from
each member. that the Grand Division
would remain intact: that Chapters now
o~reanized would receive charters from
the T.. ID. c. through the president OF the

When these resolutions we're presented
to the convention they were received with
most hearty applause and courteous at
tention. and Mrs. Giraud Wright. acting
as president OF the United Daughters or
the Confederscy requested that as the
Grand Division had accepted the resOlu-
lions OF the II. ID. G. its delegates should

clined emphatically 10 vote unless legally
and not through courtesy. The vote was
again taken az TO legality and the Grand
