Robert Land, the youngest child of
Mr.. and Mrs Jno. NJ. kinOrd, died at
their residence in Newherry yesterday
evening at twilight. He had been sick

for some wise purpose aud that purpose
has been fulfilled. We may not SEQ the
wisdom Of itnow but we shall some day.
TO the parents and family we extend
our sympathy.

to find expression in a way to command
respectful attention. That he had COM

of a farmer who had young daughter.
Next morning the peddler-preacher pro-
posed to his host for the girls hand. and
more amazing still-the girl herself was
his advocate. They were married three
days later and started for South Africa.
While the evangelist lived his wife and
her augmenting brood shared his nomad
life. On his death they settled In Ora
Jamestown. and there the children re-

educaton as extraordinary as their ante

as void of Latin as she was herself, she
undertook to teach her children the Ian

in text books. The result was that when,
In after years, they encountered educated
people they had a good working knowl-
edge of Latin, but employed a system Of

Olive was not the only gifted member

But Olive was the genius of the family.
Again lige Charlotte Bronte, she began
life as a governess, and 1t was during this
period that she wrote the STORY of an

of q woman-hater-she did not on this

Colony farmer of English family wooed
her and was accepted. In difference to
her literary reputation, he good natural
ly consented to adopt her name. with

Olive Schreiner gave birth to one child,

But motherhood and bereavement have
not softened Olive Schreiner's heart to-

Brother William was a close friend OF
Cecil Rhodes at one time. They were as
ISOLATED in politics. The Schreiner family
were rising in the world. Olive was al
ready famous. Rhodes was rising, too,
and he had no warmer admirers than the
German evangelist's widow and her sons
and daughters.

great destiny before him. And of them

Perhaps, after all, 1t was an intellectual
attraction on his side Perhaps he was
interested only in the mind of this
strange, brilliant woman, whose book was
being talked about all over the English
speaking world. She was so earnest, so
clear-sighted, so well informed on South
African affairs that doubtless the coldly
ambitious stateman found it a recreation
to draw out of her views
Olive Schreiner had no social gifts. In
dress she had not reached her present
stage OF perpetual Mother Hubbard,
but there was no time at which she
might not have been described as uncon-
ventionaI. She could not play. sing or
manufacture small talk But she could
talk-men's talk, from a gifted woman's
point of 'view-and Cecil Rhodes passed
many an evening with her.
She did more than talk. She fell in
love. And she believed that she was
loved in return.
Whether Cecil Rhodes spoke of mar.
riage, or even thought of 1t, cannot be re-
corded. 1t Is clear that the Schreinek
family believed he meant 1t, for all ex-
cept the mother now abhor him and all
his works.
The old woman's loyalty was never

What will prove the historical value of

a genius of affairs. of craftsmanship and
