AM DYING, EGYPT. DYING
Elaine. Elk. Mendocino County, Cal It
was William Haynes Lyle, born In Gin
cinnatti, Ohio. in 1926, who wrote the
ing The words Of the title of the poem
are from Antony and Cleopatra" act 4,
scene Is, and are spoken by Antony, who
says:
am dying. Egypt, dying,
Give me some wine and let me speak a
little.
Lyle was one of a number of brilliant
young writer's whose early ambition was
to build up a school of Western litera-
ture. On the breaking out of the civil
war Lyle went into the army serving
as a colonel in Western Virginia in 1861.
In October, 1862, he was wounded at Per-
ryville, KY. and was promoted for gal
liant services. He was killed at the bat
tie of Chickamauga September 20, 1863. 1t
is thought that the poem was suggested
by having seen Booth in Antony and
Cleopatra" The following was told by
John NJ Balthes of Clifton, ILL.,, who was
once a townsman of General Lyle in
GAINESVILLE, Ohio. In a letter to fellow
soldier he wrote: '.I send you the ac-
companying beautiful lines, written by
General Lyle in the middle of the night.

that he should lose his life in the battle

before the serious business planned for
the next day. Thereupon General Lytla
handed him these verses, remarkine that
would be the last he should ever write.''

South NIcAllister, I. T., Aug. H.-There
promises to be serious trouble in the Choc-

Aug. "A. On that date the question of
the ratification or the rejection of the

be decided.

The freedmen have already voted at
every election, and, it is said, aided by
members of the union party, they VIII
force the judges to accept their votes.
Their feeling is intense, and 1t is believed
that a detachment of soldiers will be re-

The troops, il "a move were made, want
to go to New York state, but if they
can't go North, they prefer to remain in
Fernandina. The surgeons and officers
of the New York regiments have made
such favorable reports of the F'ernandina
camp that it is very probable Gov. Black

and that he will urge the Washington au-
thorities to let the camp remain here.
Rumors are circulated through the en-

remain here, and the question is being

in the company only three or four of the

some time ago that Private Cloe

for their many inquiries. Night before
