God Wants Our Life a Song.

There are many people living in the
midst Of unattractiye circumstances, amid
hardships, toll and care, whose daily life
b1eathcs out gentle music that besses others
about them. They do no great services, but
they crowd the hours with little ministries
which fall like silver bell notes on weary
hearts. They are faithful in all their COM
monplace duties. They are patient under
all manner of irritating experiences. They
keep happy and conIented even in times OF
suffering and need. cheerful and trust
ing even in want. They live In quiet
harmony with the will II God, making no
jarring discords by insubmission or wilfui-
ness. God wants our life TO be song. He
has written the music for us In His Word
and in the duties that come to US In our
places and relations in life. The things we
ought to do are the notes set upon the stan.
After the music is written faultlessly, the
singer or the player must render it perfectly,
or there will be discord. We all know how
one untrue voice may mar even the noblest
music by singing falsely. To make our life
beautiful music we must be obedient apd

astonished if formidable rising does not
occur in Spain within month after the

abundant supplies Of money. and, my in

unexpected can prevent rising.
"This appears to agree with the news
that Don Carlos has succeeded in raising
an important loan in London aud in Paris,
and that wealthy Carlist families are insur-
ing their property against war risks.
A prominent Official at the Spanish War
Office told me he was we'll aware OF the
Carlist activity, but that the Government
was even moro ready than the Carlists.

After Killing His Employer.

New CANAAN, Conn. (SpeciaD Fred
Hahman, a German farm laborer, aged
forty eight years, who had been employed
by Mrs. Susan Anderson, on the outskirts
Of this village, is believed to have COM
mitted arson, suicide and murder. lndica-
tions lead to the belief that he murdered
Mrs. Anderson recently, and to remove any
trace Of his crime, set fire to the house and
barn Tuesday morning and then hanged
himself.
The fire was noticed by C. Osborne, the
nearest neighbor, who lived about a mile
away. When going to the scene ne discoV-
cred Hahman hanging from tree In the
orchard. Osborne hastened to town and
notified the authorities. When Medical
Examiner DR.. C. B. Keeler later viewed the
remains, letter was found on the sui
cide's person that would indicate that he
had murdered Mrs. Anderson. The house
and barn were totally destroyed.
Mrs. Anderson was about fifty years OF
age and had moro than local reputation
for her eccentric ways and quarrelsome
disposition. 1t is believed the crime was

Admiral Walkers commission re-
ports that the Nicaragua Canal can
be completed ior 1925, 1000, 900. The
canal is to be 10 miles long, cf which
about 100 is in Lake Nicaragua. The
Erie Canal is 325 miles long and cost
S52, 900, 900 only with all improve
ments. The Suez Canal is ninety-two
miles long and cost $1O2, 100000. But
the Nicaragua Canal, 10 miles long,
would save 10000 miles in the route
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 1t
would have saved that to the Oregon
on her trip to JOIN the feet, it would
save that to her now on her trip with
the Iowa to Manila. 1t is an important
question whether would not save
its cost in short time by shortening
thus the route for ships. We may see

GREENWOOD COUNTY CITIZENS MEET.

Resolutions Adopted Placing the Response
btY of Phoenix Riot Upon the Tolberts.
The people of Greenwood county as
sembled at Greenwood in mass meeting,
Senator Wallcr presiding over the
meeting, and presented the following
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted.
Ia pursuance of call for public
meeting of the citizens OF Greenwood
county to assemble at the court house,
10 take in consideration the late un-
fol tunste occurrences which have sud
denly arisen within our county, we the
citizens of said county, representing
every section of the same, IN mass
meeting assembled, do hereby express
our earnest regrets for the conditions
which have prevailed IN the neighDor-
hood of Phoenix and the occurrences
which led to it. We assert that the
responsibility therefor rests solely up
on John r. Tolbert, H. Rhett Tolbert
and r. L. Henderson, whose lncendl-
ary teachings and influences,culmirated
in the murder of j. |. Etherldge at
Phoenix, on the morning of the day OF
the general election, and the shooting
from ambush of the two white men on
the evening of the same day, returning
on their way home. These acts OF
murderous highway assaults, induced
feelings of retaliation, the result CT
which, however, are greatly exaggerat-
ed. Now that the excitement has sub
sided, and all armed bands have dis
persed, we urge all good citizens,
white and coIored, to 60 to their homes,
and we pledge ourselves for their safe
ty and protection in the full enjoyment
Of their rights, the discharge Of their
lawful pursuits, We assure the color
ed people they have nothing to fear If
they are orderly and law abiding citi-
Zeus.
Resolved. That we hereby endorse
the resolutions of the Phoenix mass
meeting as we'll as the assurances Civ
en- by the sheriff and other officials of
the court that the property OF the
Tolberts when under reputable man
agemeut in their absence will be pro-
tected.
The following was read at the meet
ing: At meeting OF the citizens of
Nlnety-Six and community at that
place, it was resolved that the citizens
cooperate with the good citizens OF
Greenwood county in their efforts to
restore order and put down lawless-
ness in the county That we believe
that the Tolberts have right to send
agents into our county for the protec-
ton of their property, and that we as
conservative and law abiding citizens
will protect them on sucn mission.

determination that the Spanish evacuation
OF Cuba and the American occupation shall
