DYING FOR ONES COUNTRY.

1t may be sweet to die for ones
country, but if reports be true the
English soldier who dies in the Trans
vaal could see himself after death, or
could his family or friends see what
remained of him. would not esteem the
honor so great. as those who have pat
ted him on the back and Missed him
into the fight, have pictured it. He
would see that the living treated his
carcas as that of a dog when his use
fulness had ended. Those who occupy
bomb proof places or stay at home and
send the other fellow, have beloved
and shouted until the dupe Of a soldier
believes he does amount to something.
Poor fool.
The Queen has gone into Ireland for
the first time in many years, say since
1851, to show her appreciation of the
bravery of those fighting Irish who
are throwing away their lives to help
Joe Chamberlain, Cecil Rhodes and
other schemers of the Wall Street va
riety to get rich by stealing some one
else's country. and pat them on the
back. The news comes now that with
accustomed English brutality and in
difference, many of their dead are left
unburied, to the prey of the buzzards
and vultures, the jackals and the
hyenas, and that those whose bodies
they have made a pretensc of burying
have not been buried as any Christian
people bury their dead, certainly not
as the Beers bury theirs. In addition
to this the tale comes with apparent
credibility that after some of the
heaviest fought battles when the Eng.
lish retreated they took no thought OIL
their wounded, but left them to die
uncared for, when a flag of truce
would have enabled them to carry the
wounded to hospitals, a thing the
Beers would gladly have seen done.
The most narrowing stories have got
ten into the press recently, and have
done much to injure the English ma
ton in the eyes of humane countries
If they will not care for their own dead
and wounded what may those of the
enemy expect?

Seaboard's Big Mortgage

Wednesday the new consolidated
mortgage of the reorganized Seaboard
Air Line Railway Company was record
ed at Richmond, and subsequently in
every other State through which the
line extends, including North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Florida. The total amount OF the
mortgage is 1862. SOC, coo, and the inter
nal revenue stamps upon the document
amount to about $31, 600. Nearly ali
the tax was paid in 500 stamps-the
highest denomination-but a consid
cradle quantity of smaller value and
of a variety of colors we're also used to
make up fractional balances. They
were pasted in, page after page. the
mortgage being in the form of a book.

Beneath whose shadows lie.

To live until | die.

They're dearer far to me.

However fair they be.

And passing through these meadows
Are gone like vanished hopes.

So old and grand and vast,
Unchanged it comes to US today,
From the most distant past.
Hove these homes. they're sweet and dea
If they are plain and poor,
For friendship stands and beckons me
And opens every door.

To them l fondly cling
But to these hearthstones of the now

not yet clear, Miss Annie Chalmers, OF

as she is an expert shot she keeps a

Chalmers to believe him an escaping
criminal, and she was trying to shoot
him when she shot herself.

SUBMIT 1T TO THE PEOPLE.

We believe that the submission OF
the constitution to the people for rati-
fcation in the event that one is made
is a matter of paramount importance.
Let the Norfolk Convention declare fol-
this and much of the opposition to the
movement will vanish. If this is done
and if the new constitution when writ
ten is-a good one it will be ratified, il
it is not it will be defeated.
The very fact that the people are te

mable value.
There may be q division of sentiment
as to the advisability Of calling a Con.
stitutional convention and of making
it a party question. but upon the ques
tion of whether or not it shall be sub
mited to the people for ratification,
there is little difference of opinion.
Both Staunton and Augusta county
have said that it should be. Let the
people decide.

Situation Critical,

There is no longer any question that
the diplomatic relations between the
United States and Turkey are critical,
growing out OF the Sultan's bad faith.
He promised to pay the indemnity
claims of the American missionaries
for the destruction of eight buildings
of the Euphrates College, at Harpoof,
and several buildings belonging to the
American missionaries. at Marash.
during the Armenian massacres OF
1896, aggregating about $50, O00. As
the situation is critical, it may result
in Secretary Hay sending the Turkish
Minister st Washington his passport.

Gen. Thomas l.. Rosser, whose
mouth King VIM. Mckinley had sew
ed up, as we noted some time ago. has
had the stitches removed, and he is
again using it. The use made OF it is
to tell the country that he will vote
for Mckinley in the coming election.
This is very natural. Mckinley is
the first President of the United States
to appreciate Gen. Rosser, hence Gen.
Rosser's appreciation Of the President.

down a flag as easily as they can make
a president eat his words. "Our plain

The Eminent Kidney

Al AoDV1 olVAys
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-a
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kid~ney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.

covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands

The hi ack Hills republicans have
another one of there interesting con-

except Lawrence, is for Martin for
Congress. Lawrence has not held
her cevention vet, but Kirk Phillips
is trying to carry Lawrence for
Judge Moody for L. S. Senator. Ii
he succeeds Lawrence big delegation
will again divide the Hills strength,
and get nothing, as il seems inpro-
bable to ever again rally much
strength to Judge Moody in other
parts OF the state. Since the above
was placed in type Lawrence county
has held her preliminaries and gave
sweeping majority for Martin. So
it is now almost certain the Hills
will come to the convention united
on Martin, and secure his nomina-
ton.
