The last time that | wrote you
Was year ago this spring;
Our memory is often treacherous
And time doth changes bring.
Since then we've tasted sorrow,
AS we'll as joys galore,
And in the days of springtlns
"Our thoughts doth turn" to yore.
Our little loWu is quiet,
And where it always stood,
Our citizens would not change 1t
Not even if they could.
Ga the banks of old Broad River
The fisherman plods his way,
The skeeters are quite friendly
And invite you to the play.
Ws've had some deaths and moving,
AS we'll as weddings too,
A fine crop of babies
And sleepless nights, not few.
We hope to raise some cotton,
And melous not few,
And when the sights get warmer
Yell try the catfish stew.
Gardens are very backward,
So times are awful hard,
But plenty of milk and butter
ls enough for a country bard.
The farmers are all complaining
OF being in arrears,
No cotton scarcely planted
E2Asad s.cufy" putting en- airs.

Will bring all things Alright;
Smiles instead of sadness,

THE SNART GOERS.

The Beers are as successful in eVad-
ing traps - they are in laying traps.
The escape Of the Beers from around
Wipener 10 considered by some critics
as ga miracle of war" The escape OF
the Beers is the more remarkable
when it is remembered that about
four thousand Beers march into the
sneny's country, stay there for several
weeks doing all the damage they can,
during which net is set for them by
about half of Lord Roberts array.
But the Beers. in spite, OF the well
laid plans of the British escape. The
London Standard says: cit i' dis
heartening to and that these elaborate
naueuvers have had 80 small 8 result"
and the London Daily Chronicle says
that eve are reluctant 10 criticise
Lord Roberts, but it is Impossible 10
shut our eyes to the fact that during
the last ten days, We have gained very
little from our enormous display of
force.
The fight is to come between Kroon-
staud and Pretoria. The New York
Tribune, speaking of the Boer retreat
says:
sIt is rot always easy to catch your
prey, however; not even after you
have got him into year trap. Between
the spring Of the trap and its cora-
plets closure there is sometimes a
chaues for the intended victim, if he
be sufficiently alert and agile, to make
his escape; or there may bs cracks
and creYicas in the walls Of the trap
through which he can force his way.
In the present case something of the
sort appears to hsve happened. The
Beers ars as expert in getting out OF
traps aS they are in setting traps foT
self.confdent foes. After snappiSg at
the bait and doing incalculable damage.
they have slipped ouL of the trap be-
tween the springiBg and the fall, and
are now in fall flight toward the
northern hills, and the trappers have
had to abandon the trap and give
ehass-a stern chase, which is pro-
verbally a long one. The British
may yet overhaul the Bosrs, az they
did in the race from Kimberley ia
Paardebsrg If not, the trap-setting
will have been in vain. and the ina
settlement must come il the hills be-
tween Kroonstand and Pretoria"

AGAINST 0LEoNARGARINE.
Philadelphia Produce Dealers Urge
Passage Of Grout Bill.

a large delegation of Philadelphia pro-
duce dealers and representatives of the
Philadelphia produce exchange appeared be-
fore the House committee on agriculture
today in support of the Grout bill to IN
crease the tax on colored oleomargarine to
10 cents a pound, and to make imitation
dairy products subject to the laws OF the
state or territory into which they are
transported. The delegation was composed
of ]. NJ. Davis president, of the produce ex-
change; Mr. B. L. Kimball, Messrs j. =.
McCuiloch, +. S. Stachhouse, w. X. Brioe,
S. Jamison, Herbert Brown. II. S. Lesher.
j. h Cleaver, S. Moffett, W. Turner. Me
Donald and DR. Crquart. representing large
firms in Philadelphia. The spokesmen were
Messrs. Davis and Kimball, both Of whom
urged the Importance of having a heavy
tax put upon oleomargarine when coiCrcd
to initiate butter. in order to protect the
people against fraud and the dealers in but
ter against dishonest competition. Both
speakers said that the great margin BE-
tween the value of butter and oleomarc
rine was temptation to fraud. Mr.. Kim
ball expressed the opinion that 30 per cent
of the oleomargarine sold in Philadelphia
was sold Illegally as butter. 1t was as
serted that there was no objection to the
sale of oleo as such, and that If a tax were
imposed on colored oleo sufficient to equal
iZe its value with the price got for it when
sold as butter much of the fraud could be
prevented. They very earnestly recon-
mended the tax of 10 cents a pound on AZ
oleo colored to initiate butter.

RESULT OF HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Belief Expressed That the Agreements
Will Amount to Nothing

In diplomatic circles here an unpleasant
suggestion has been thrown out to the ef-
feet that The Hague conference has result
ed in a complete failure and that even the
limited program agreed upon will never be
perfected. 1t is learned that the basis for
this view is the fact that up TO this mo-
ment it is not known officially that a single
one of the powers represented in the con-
ference has ratified the three conventions
prepared there. The treaties themselves
require that each of the participants in the
conference shall be notified whenever the
other parties ratify the conventions. Up
to this time no such notice has reached
this country as to any other country So
far as the United States government is con-
cerned, only one of the three treaties has
been ratified by the Senate. and even in
that case the formalities have not been
carried to completion. It is probable how
ever, that the appearance at Washington
or the newly appointed minister from the
Netherlands, bringing with him the official
copies or the conventions, may result in
further action by the United States upon
these conventions.
