THe SPICE or VARIETY.
THE ABSENT HERO.


(Gridley, Captain Of the OIympia.)
In the proud telling Of the hero's story,
Amid the braves of great acclaim,
Speak.low and bang wealth Of glory
Above one simple name!
Silent he lie, amid our vast rejoicing.
Silent-yet eloquent that morn of
May,
When his fierce guns the words of
doom were voicing
Within Manila bay.
With him for whom our hearts are
overfowing
He stood that day at rising of the sun,
Nor listed how the gales of death were
blowing
Where duty lay undone.
"when ready. Gridley, fire v-the sum-
mons found him
Resdy to m. ct the foeman's iron hail :;
The bursting mine. the storm of shell
around him,
Were as the tlapping sail.
lC', ho" we see you uOJ among your
seamen,
We see you not when most we wish
to tell
How your proud country's million
voiced freemen
Have learned to love you well!
When the deep thunder of grateful
people
Rolls onward to the haven here
you are;
When the thronged street, the music
echoing people
Cry upward to your star.
Know. Gridley, how your deathless
fame is cherished
In souls that feel how boundless is
their debt,
And, though the mortal heart Of you
has perished,
Our hearts will not forget.

Van Wyck Letter.

Mr.. Editor: As it has been
some time since we have written
any for the press, We are strongly
inclined that way by several du-
ties we think should not escape
our farmers. as their very saliva
ton as free and independ mt
class should not be overlook in the
midst Of this very recent rise in
the price Of cotton. We very we'll
know the weak ness of human ma
ture and many of the, farmers no
doubt, who have made good reso
lutions a. to the sowingof a large
small grain crop, will allow the
probable high price Of cotton next
fall to mislead them and they
will endeavor to try the all cot
ton plan again, thinking they can
buy western -four, meat aud corn
cheaper than they could grow j..
which ls sad mistake. This great
upheavel In the price of cotton
has not been brought about tY
anything earthly, but was a Prov
idential interference. 1t is mans
intentions just reversed, for with
the large area planted in cotton
this wear, we would have raised
the largest crop that was ever
grown by the south, and instead
of seven or eight cents, ,as farmers
are now yettihg, they would he
getting four or five cents now. i
submit it would look more senN
ble to cut the area down to two
thirds or just enough to make
seven er eight million bales, then
put the other in something eis-.
such as wheat, oats, rye, sugar
cane. peas, etc. Then let ,b.m
break up as far ss they car tL.s
burdensom- lien law. 1t has bear
nothing bnt curse from first tn
last, and should never have been
put on the statute books Of the
state. Let our people break these
shackles by adhering to the most
rigid economy and deny than
selves OF many luxuries that they
have been enjp. ing under credit
system. Lat the farmers of South
Carolina seei one hundred th"us.
and acres in wheat this fall and
stop patronizing the north and
west. Keeping that money athnme
to improve their farms with, and
in Very short time they will see
more sensible farming, better cul-
tivated fields, greater yields and
better kept lands; more improv-
ed out buildings; better and
more comfortable homes. Then

young men Will be so anxious to
leave their quiet and pleasan:

 SAN ANTONIO, TEX, August 19th.
 The Pine Bluff boys arrived in camp Friday and we are now being drilled four hours each day. We have three drills in the morning from 6 to 8.8:3O to 9:30 and from 10 to 10:30, after which we rest until twelve o'clock, at the lat ter hour we are drilled to dinner. We rest from 12:30 until 1 o'clock in the afternoon and then close the days work with one hours drill. Between drills other duties, too numerous to mention, are done.
 The 33rd is composed of men from all parts of the United States All the companies have their full quota of men except ours, Company M We need only few men to complete our company. Itis likely that the 33rd will be full by to night as men continue to arrive daily on every train. Company M. is the only company stationed here that has not as yet, been supplied with cloth ing. We will receive our uniforms in day or so. Each man is given three suits, solid white, kahki and a deep blue. The 33rd is not stationed in San Antonio, as was supposedit would be, but is about two miles from the city on the Jock ey Club Fair Grounds
 Upon our arrival here Duval John- son, member of the late Company B, Jefferson Fenclbles, First Arkan- sas, was appointed First Sergeant of Company M. This is just what Duval wished for when he entered the service and l am glad Pine Bluff boy is tbe lucky humber. No other officers of lower rank, have been appointed for our com pany. When we jun ped off the train in San Antonio, who do you think we met at the depot? Pri vate Earl Joyce, Pine Bluff boy, who had joined the 33rd at Palistine Texas. We have not been informed as to just how long we will be here. We may be ordered to the Philip pines in about two weeks, and yet we
