Woman's Club.

The Woman's club met as usual on
Tuesday afternoon. The topic of in
terest was THE Classical School of
English Poetry" discussed by Mrs. Ju-
liza Farnsworth Lund.
Mrs. Lund said in part:
Literature is a mirror in which ma
ton reflects it's whole life. By it is
judged the race. the physical surround
ings, the different epochs. and the de-
gree of civilization to which the peo-
pie have attained. English literature
has been likened 10 a stream of water.
This stream had its origin during the
early history of the Anglo-Saxons, and
from Caedmon and Bede TO Tennyson,
although the stream at times has been
retarded and the waters have become
murky, the great undercurrent has
never been changed, but it has had a
clearly marked course and has never
ceased to -fioW--
The first literature was of war: after
the introduction of Christianity it was
of religion; but beginning with Chau-
GER. IL has felt the. effect of three great
influences; first. the Italian or roman
tic: second, the French or classical;
and, third, the German, the influence
of today.
The romantic age has it's beginning
with Chaucer and closes with the civil
war. To this age belong the most glo-
rious names in English literature
Chaucer, Spencer Marlowe, Shake
speare, Jonson--and rejecting both this
age and the coming one. John Milton.
Standing like a solitary landmark in
English literature is Milton. the last of
the Elizabethians. and. except Shake
speare, far the greatest of them all"
When very young he displayed re-
markable aptness for learning. His
literary career may be said to begin
with his entrance to Cambridge. He
first intended to study for the minis
try, but the troublesome times decided
him to give up his intention and he left
college and retired TO the country,
where he spent several years in pur-
suing his favorite studies. OF his
poems while in college, 1.-The Hymn of
the Nativity is perhaps the best and
most familiar. Every line in this mag
nificent poem carries the conviction to
the reader that the poet was inspired
by him in whose honor he was writing.
While in the country he wrote ''L'Al-
legro." lei Penseroso' and ''Lycidas."
The first two companion pieces. jollity
and melancholy. were written while the
poets soul was stirred by the scenes of
sweet rural life. They display the eff
feet nature has on the scholar, who
does more than merely see her. who
feels her. "Lycidas" is perhaps the
richest of all Millions works. 1t is
the last of his early poems. and in it is
seen the first trace Of the Milton of
Paradise Lost"
Next Tuesday Mrs. Powers will dis
cuss THE Utopia of Bulwer Lytton
William Morris and Edward Bellamy."

Prohibitions Beauties.

According to the Ocangeburg Pa
triot, deputy Sheriff W. Hampton
Dukes, who went out to Kansas two
weeks ago for prisoner, gives US
some very interesting and instructive
information on the whiskey question
and every body knows that what
Hampie Dukes says on the question
is the unyarnished truth without
futey, founces or frills. He says
that in prohibition Kansas he saw
the most gorgeous and magnificent
bar rooms his eyes ever beheld; al d
that they were open day and nigh,
and were conducted in open and fla
grant violation of the law, withe ut
the least pretense to secrecy: that an
occasional fine is imposed upon each
bar-keeper, the aggregate fine
amounting to about SIT a week.
This fine is virtually a license to
sell. OF course, all these things
were surprise to him, and like
good missionary, Harpie went to
preaching the virtues of a better
system-a system which permits the
purchasing of liquor only in the day
time, in sealed packages, and which
offers none of the comforts and
allurements of the barroom, where
treating and gambling 60 together.
The result was startling and gratify-
ing. The people wanted to know
more of South Carolina's dispensary
law, and friend Hampie Dukes has
sent several copies of the law to off
GERS and citizens of that State.
And yet some goodpeople in South
Carolina, not deferred by what oc-
ours in Kansas, Maine and other pro-
hibition states, want prohibition
tried here.

Quick Read Building.
The Soutberu's Perry Extension
Practically Graded.

Small Portion at Either E"d B"hil d
Completion-Track Laying Soon
to Bsgin-The Survey to Savan-
rah.
The Southern Railway extension
to Perry is rapidly nearing compile
tion so far as the grading, ETC.. is
concerned. Mr.. Brown, representing
Jones & Co, the contractors. states
that the road bed is practically COM
p!eted except short distance nesr
Perry's, and at Cayce's on the end tf
the line. At both places difficulties
have been encountered which pre-
vented the work from being pushed
a, rapidly as at other places along
the line.
On that portion of the road which
has been completed track laying will
soon begin, and by November Is,
MrJones says the road to Perry $
will be ready for traffic. This is
quick work, but the contractors we,e
under bond to complete the rosd
by that time or forfeit a thousand
dollars day for each day over the
time. But the work is so we'll in
hand that no forfeit will have to lie
paid.
The survey Of the line from Aller-
dale to Savannah has just been com.
pleted and the maps, etc, have been
turned over to the officials of tie
Southern road According to the
survey the road will run in direct
line from Allendale to Savannah, not
striking town between the two
places. The contract for that end of
,he line has not been given out yet,
but as the country is level the road
probably can be built in time for
next winters business. Jones & Co.,
who had the Perry extension con-
tract, will probably bid on this, too,
but the firm has another contract for
road building in Alabama, which
they will begin in October. This,
however, would not interfere with
their building the Savannah exten
sion, should the contract be secured.

Charls ston Air Line.
Seaboard to Build from Charleston
to Augusta.
Application for Char ter for the G..
A. & G. R. R , to be Made to the
Secretary of State.


Secretary of State.
The s'Charleston Air Line" is to
be built in the near future. It will
run from Charleston to Augusta,
through Charleston, Colleton, Barr
well and Aiken counties.
1t will be tart of the Charleston,
Augusta and Chattanooga railroad,
application for charter for which
will shortly be made.
The application for a charter will
shortly be made to Secretary of
State Cooper. Under the law, ad-
vertisement of the intention to Apply
for railroad charter must be made
for thirty days in the papers of the
counties through which tits propose ed
to run the railroad. Such ADVERTISE
ments will Immediately be published
and at the expiration of The thirty
days the charter will be asked for.
The proposed "Charleston Air
Line" will b. l25 miles long and will be
capitalized at $3,l25,OOo, or $4,000
to the mile. This route is about
twenty miles shorter than the South
con railroad from Charleston to
Augusta. Barnwell is the largest
town between Charleston aud Au
gusta through which the new road
will run.
The Charleston, Augusta and Chat
tanooga railroad will be embraced in
the Seaboard Air Line consolidation.
In Georgia arailroad will be built
from Augusta to Athens, which will
connect the Charleston Air Line with
the Seaboard's trunk line from the
North to Atlanta.
The tracks of that trunk line will
be used between Athens and Atlanta
by G. A. & G. r. R. Later the con-
nection between Atlanta and Chat
tanooga will be completed.
This new road will give Charles
tor q short and direct line to the
coal, iron and mill districts of the
West.
It's construction will be rapidly
pushed. The Seaboard is after busi-
ness and will lose no time in COM
pleting the arrangements for getting
it. Later on the Seaboard will build
from Columbia to Augusta, thus
completing it's system in this State
and putting itself in condition to
complete for the business to Aiken
and Augusta.

Death Of Z. J. Kernaghaa.
For 80 Years He Had Helped il
Building Up Batesburg.

Special to The State.
Batesburg, Aug. 24.-Mr. T. j.
Kernaghap, one of the most promi-
nent citizens of our town, died here
yesterday afternoon after an illness
of eight months.
ME. Kernanghan came here from
Hamburg, some 80 years ago, when
Batesburg was but small railroad
station. lie opened the second gen.
eral merchandise store in the town,
and from that time until his last
illness has been one of our leading
merchants. He always exhibited a
lively interest in whatever affected
the prosperity of his town. Ia fact
all feel that Batesburg has lost, if
Lot the very best, at least one of her
best friends. In all public ques-
tions he took decided stand, and
with true courage, he was ever ready
to defend his position. In every
question of right and wrong his
friends and likewise those who dis
agreed with him, knew where to find
him.
Mr.. Kernaghan was a Christian
and most devoted member of the
Methodist church. For number of
years he has been the efficient super
intendent of the Sunday school. He
will be sadly missed not only by his
church, but by the entire community.
he was SIS years of age and leaves a
wife and six children, three sons and
three daughters. All of our citizens
feel the deepest sympathy for this
afflicted household. They have lost
their best friend, for he was a model
husband and devoted father. He
will be buried this afternoon from
the Methodist church. He died in
the prime of life and yet his life
was a success and he sleeps in peace
