Headquarters First s. G.. V. T.,
Camp Cuba Librc, Panama Park,
Fla, August 13-It seems that
very little attention will be given
to or interest felt in tho coming
elections by tho boys Of the 1st South
Carolina voluntcerinfautry, although
at tho same timo they all express Il
desire to vote, and that, too, for the
bcst man to fill tho Office. But low
is ono to mako Il selection away from
homo when hc can only 500 through
tho newspapers that the canlidat.s
are simply indnlginG in personal
criticism and hurl,ng singing cpl.
thets at ouch other, aud seem to have
lost sight of tho true political aims
pertaining to tho office for which
thoy are aspiring.
Now, since tho war is over and
peace is assured, there seems to be-
quite diffrrcpt feeling coming over
thomen from that Of rushing into Cuba
or Porto Rico. Tho men take tho
stand that they did not volunteer to
police and clean up the streets Of
other countries and cities, ~ tho
prospect is tho army of occupation
will have to do this in IInvann,) but
that they volunteered to fight for tho
honor and dignity of this FREQ Amer
lean country OF ours, and ut the Same
time they re"lizo that they are bound
by their obligation to serve tho
United States, to go anywhnro or.
dcrcd during tho period of enlist
ment, 1.-TWO years.) But We all have
coutidenco i'll tho good judgment of
the hoad officials of our Government,
ard will, Of course, bond to their de-
cision.
Two moro names were added to
tho desertor list OF this regiment to-
day, making total now Of 10 men.
1t is pity for those young men to
have acted as they have, for it will
bo stigma on them for the rest Of
their lives, and besides this, they
will be sooner or lator approhcnded
by tho Government, aud must pay
the penalty OF d"scrtion. They need
not think they can escape, for tho
reward is too nice Il sum to ho over
looked by our civil anti. oritics for ar
resting and delivering desertcrs. If
these Young men, wherever they arc,
have any fr"nds who take any in
torest in them, they would do them
Il great favor to advise them, and try
and got them to return TO the regi-
ment and surrender themselves be-
fore tho regimont il disbanded or
sont to Il foreign country, 30 that
they Uhe desurtrrs) may be tried for
the otlonco by their own people, and
| DeSlucS tno law IL not nolf 30 Rtrlh-
gent on deserter who returns on
his own account as it is on one who
has TO be arrested and brought back.
1t would be woll, too, to bear in
mind that should tho entire volunteer
army be discharged in tho next ten
day 8 or sorvs the whole two years Of
enlistment, and then ten years or
even more after that time, should
any OF those Young men be caught
they would be tried and treated just
the same as il they were cnught to-
morrow.

Gen. Burnside Post G.. A. R., De.
partment of North Dakota, has dis
carded all sectionalism and impell-
ed by a patriotic spirit, both broad
and generous, at a recent regular
meeting unanimously passed the
following resolutions:
Resolved, first, that we ask as a
patriotic measure, that the govern
ment of the United States invite all
soldiers of the war of the rebellion,
both Union and Confederate, to
Washington as guests of the Union
for one week, beginning the first of
July, 1900.
2. That on the fourth indepen-
dence day of that year the president,
his cabinet and the surviving gen
erals of both armies review the
grand old armies as they march
down Pennsy lvania avenue, each
army dressed as near as convenient
in their former colored uniforms,
but all under "Old Glory" the flag
Of the Union.
3. That we urge all G. A. r. posts
and patriotic citizens to help carry
this into effect.
4. That congress be petitioned
and urged by patriotic influences to
appropriate the money necessary to
defray all expenses.

by birth regretted in his song the
coming of the day when the darkies
would "sing no more by the glim-

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky

'Tis summer, the darkies are all gay,
The corn tops ripe and the meadows in the
bloom,
While the birds are making music all the

The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
All merry, all happy, all bright;
Bym by hard times comes a,knocking at the
door
Then. my old Kentucky home, good night.

Well sing you one song for the old Ken

For orr old Kentucky home, far away.
They hunt no more for the 'possum and the
coon,
On the meadow, the hill and the shore;
They sing no more by the glmmer of the
moon,
On the bench by the old cabin door;
The days 60 by like shadow DER the heart,
With sorrow where all was delight
The time has come where the darkles have 10
part,
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night.
The head must bow, and the back will have
to bend,
Wherever the darkies may 60;
A few more days and the trouble all will end,

A few days more to toat the weary load
No matter, it will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road;

American Patents.

The annual report of the com
missioner of patents, recently laid
before congress, shows that not less
than 23,729 patents were granted
to American inventors during tn Q
past year.
In proportion to population,
Connecticut heads the list of states
contributing to swell the number of
patents granted to successful appli-
cants. In Connecticut l patent was
granted to every 1856 inhabitants.
Next in order ranks Massachusetts.
the District Of Columbia, New Jer-
sey and New York.
There is no country on the globe
which surpasses the United States
in the genius of invention. This ia
manifest from the countless devices
on file in the patent office in Wash.
ington. Most Of the patents issued
during The past year by the United
States government were awarded to
electricians. This is due to the fact
that the study Of electricity has, for
the time being, overshadowed other
Investigations; and in all probabil.
ity what is true Of the patents issued
during the past year will be true Of
the patents issued for some time to
come.

Some Cold Facts,

In the house of representatives,
Jan. %, Hon. W. g. Adamson of
Georgia delivered a speech, pend
ing the discussion of the Indian ap-
preparation bill, which has rarely
ever been surpassed in sound logic.
In his array of facts his remarks
turned upon the financial question,
and he has given the plutocrat, the
goldbug, the single standard pat
riot and tho sound money oligarch
such n castigation as they have mot
had in many a year, and he has
shown them up in their true colors,
This speech should be made o cam

"rly Old Kentucky Home.

The house is still standing near
Bardstown, Ky, where Stephen
Collins Foster wrote the world-fa-
nous song, "My Old Kentucky
Home" IL is known as Federal
Hill, the residence place of the
Rowan family for almost century.
In the late SOS, only five or six
years before his death, Foster, then
living in Pennsylvania, was invited
by the Rowans to pay an extended
visit to Federal Hill. On this visit
his sister Eliza accompanied him,
and the stay in old Kentucky, as
Foster often said, was one of the
most pleasant periods of his life.
Surrounded by all that was beauti-
full, it was easy for the man who
had given expression to so many
soul-stirring southern melodies
"Old Folks at Home" "Massa's in
the Cold Ground" etc-to compose
the tribute to the mansion of the
Blue Grass that will endure as long
as Kentucky can produce q single
voice capable of humming its sweet
notes. 1t is doubtless probable that
Foster composed the three verses
of "My Old Kentucky Home" in
quite as many days, and gave q fit
ting musical expression to the
words employed as rapidly as his
pencil dropped the lines. He was
inspired alike by the beautiful sun.

low moonlight of the nights that
fell upon Federal Hill, by the wav.
ing grain, the hush of the corn, the
negroes performing their duties,
tho lazy little darkles in the cabins,
and finally by the warbling of the
mocking bird, the thrush's mellow
song and the iifc.like notes of tho
Kentucky cardinal, made world re-.

the writing of the nndying vorsos
must have bocn o labor OF love.
