The Dreaded Charlton.
Negroes Die Of It-A Reign of
Terror xxi SITS.

Memphis, July Is. - The dreaded
Charlton, or anthrax, is causing almost
reign of terror in some districts of the
delta.
The people of this district are just
beginning to re4lize what the charbon
scourge means. Every person who re.
turns from trip through the afflicted
district brings back stories of great
losses it has caused, and the fears it has
inspired.
The disease is OF the most virulent
type. 1t is an epidemic that has de-
stroyed thousands of horses, mules, cat
tie and sheep. The latest reports are to
the effect that it is even killing chickens,
hogs and cats.
Around Beulah, in Bolivar County,
the disease has already attacked human
beings. Seven negroes who contracted
anthrax while lancing afflicted animals,
have died. AS a result of the mortality
negroes refuse to go near afflicted anil
mails, aid in many cases refuse to 90
any plantation work at all, leaving the
write men to perform all the tasks:
The fear that has taken possession OF
the negro laborers makes it hard to DIS
pose of the carcasses of animals that
have died of the charbon,
Where the labor has not been alarmed
the bodi of di eased animals are
burned, and the smoke from the pyreS
upon which the carcasses of the animals
are inundated can be seen in HUNDREDS
of places day and night, in Bolivar ana ana
Coahoma counties, where the mortallt!
is greatest.

Exciting Accident.

Nashville. July 12.-Street car No.
269 on the West Nashville line jumped
the track at the west end of the
Church-street viaduct yesterday after
noon few minutes after 6 O'Clock.
The car carried trailer and about
seventyfive passengers. 1t was the
most exciting street car accident that
has occurred in Nashville during the
past year. -Four people sustained pain
full injuries, and all of the passengers
were given a severe shake-up. That
there were no fatalities seems eXtraor-
binary. The car and trailer crashed
into the railing of the viaduct, and
came near hurting their burden of hui
man freight into the opening over

"UP ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP.

Monteagle, July 9.-Mr. A. w.
Hawks, the popular lecturer, from
Baltimore, who while here last season
enjoyed the jubilee songs sung by the
negroes at their Sunday school, has
indited the following lines to these same
singers and they will be sung by them
in grateful appreciation of the author s
remembrance:
CUP ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP. "
0 the wind is sweet and the sun rides
high,
Up on the mountain top.
At night the moon hangs in the sky,
Up on the mountain top.
Refrain
On the mountain, on the mountain,
Up on the mountain top.
1t won't be long ere we sing the new
song,
Up on the mountain top.
The master went away to pray,
Up on the mountain top
And we are praying day by day,
Up on the mountain top.
They came to the master one by one
Up on the mountain top
BLESSED are ye' said the Blessed Son.
Up on the mountain top.
Down in the valley it's mighty sweet,
But up on the mountain top
We listen and pray at the Masters feet
Up on the mountain top.
Keep on singing, it won't be long,
Up on the mountain top,
We will join the blood washed throng
Up on the mountain top.

HELEN KELLER SPEAKS.

Miss Helen Keller, the noted blind
Radcliffe undergraduate, who is spend

ton for the Deaf and Dumb, On last

cial to the Philadelphia Times. Miss
Keller, who was born deaf, dumb and
blind, has herself only recently ac-
quired the use of her tongue. She
said:

An Old Ballad.

When the Confederate Gen. Kirky
Smith invaded northern Kentucky,
John Uri Lloyd, in common with sew
eral other villagers, stood in front of
the grocery pictured in his book,
"Stringtown or the Pike, " group of
Morgan s cavalrymen awaiting orders
being the attraction. During the in
terval one Of the party struck up a
song beginning ooh, yes, ] am a
Southern Girl, +" the others joining in
the chorus. Wishing to incorporate it
in "Stringtown, the ballad was
sought, but without avail. Finally
memory was trusted for the two verses
recorded in the book. Subsequently,
however, Prof. Lloyd made printed
request, under date of Jan 5, 1901,
for the full poe n and the name of its
author, offering a reward of 500 to the
person first to supply the ballad and
the correct name of the author. Unex-
pectedly, the offer resulted in a mass
of correspondence and of a number of
claimants for the honor of authorship.
In this dilemma a second offer of $50
was made for the indisputable estab-
lishment of the authors name to the
satisfaction of committee composed
of three judges of the Cincinnati court,
who kindly consented to act.
The result, as pronounced by the
judges, is a follows
THE ballad and the correct name of
the author were first given by Will
liam J. Bryan, No. 1113 st. Gregory
street, Mt. Adams, Cincinnati re-
ceived Jan. 5, 1901 40 pm, deliv-
r5 G1nn

vertible proof of the authorship sup.
piled by the above correspondent, was
Charles W. Hubner, Carnegie library,
Atlanta, Ga. received Feb. 49, 1901,
award, $50
1.-THE total number of correspondents
in this contest is over 400. The names
of forty eight different authors were
presented of whom thirty-two could
be ruled out at once. AS to the re-
manning sixteen, unimpeachable evil
dence gives the credit of authorship to
Miss Carrie Bell Sinclair, of Savannah,
Ga. This name in connection with
the ballad was first given by Mr.. Bry-
an. The conclusive evidence was snip
piled by sister of the author.
The correct form of the Homespun
Dress is:
Oh, yes, | am a southern girl,
And glory in the name.
And boast it with far greater pride
Than glittering wealth or fame.
j envy not the northern girl
Her robes of beauty rare,
Though diamonds grace her snowy
neck.
And pearls bedeck her hair.
Chorus:
Hurrah Hurrah
For the sunny south 50 dear
Three cheers for the hOmespun dress
Our southern ladies wear.

but then 10 shows what southern girls
For southern rights will do.

What One Woman Thinks.

A woman who is popular with wom-
en- is pretty sure to be popular with
men.
The girl who is disrespectful to her
mother is not apt to make very sue
cessful wife.
Why is it that it always makes u.s.
mad to be reminded of faults we know
we possess?
Some peoples idea of administering
consolation is to tell you things have
been a great deal worse y
A woman can always see something
in the man who knows the chair in
the parlor that never was intended to
be sat upon.
A woman may wear new dress a
whole day without having a man say
a word about it, but it makes him
mad if she doesn t burst into encomi-
ums the very minute she spies his new
suit
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-07-19

Now, northern goods are out of date,
And since Old Abe's blockade,
We southern girls can be content
With goods that's southern made.
The southland is glorious land,
And hers a glorious cause,
Then here's three cheers for southern
rights,
And for the southern bows
Chorus.
We send the bravest of our land
To battle with the foe,
And we should lend a helping hand
We love the south, you know
We send our sweethearts to the war;
But, dear girls, never mind
Your soldier love will not forget
The girl he left behind.
Chorus
A soldier is the lad for me
A brave heart l adore,
And when the sunny south is free,
And fighting is no more,
I'll choose me then lover brave,
From out that gallant band;
The soldier lad | love the best,
Shall have my heart and hand.
Chorus.
And now, young men, a word to You
If you would win the fair,
Go to the field where honor calls,
And win your lady there.
Remember that our brightest smiles
Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears fall for the one
Who fills soldier grave.

OPPOSING INTERESTS IN
FRISCO FAIL TO AGREE

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE outlook
for an amicable settlement Of the
strike has considerably diminished
and today indications are that the con
test will be a protracted one. The eff
forts Of Mayor Phelan to bring about
an understanding between the oppos-
ing interests have failed. The belief
is general that the strike is to be wide
" extended. Power to act has been
placed in the hands of the labor coun-
ell, which can call out so additional
unions, or $4,000 men. Three i'm
portant organizations, the Sand Team
sters, the Bakers and Electrical
Workers have been already ordered
10 hold themselves in readiness to quit
work at a moments notice.
A strike Of the bakers would shut of
the local supply of bread, and if the
sand teamsters were TO leave their
work all building would stop, and 5000
carpenters and builders would be com
PEELED to leave work.

DOWAGER EMPRESS DIED
EARLY LAST EVENING

Cropberg, August 6.-The Dowager
Empress Frederick, mother Of Emperor
William. died at els D. m. yesterday
The death was unexpectedly sudden,
as at p. IN. her physicians had re-
ported no change in her condition. She
was fully conscious during the last
hours, and all her children. with the
exception Of Prince Henry, who is at
Cadiz. were assembled in the sick room.
OF her death the Norddentsche Allie
gemeine Zeitung in a splendid eulogy
says: The most brilliant earthly for
tune and the most profound human
suffering were alike not known to her
In the greatness of soul with which
she bore an incurable malady she
showed herself a true companion Of
the German hero who. by his sufferings
and his deeds. will ever remain dear
to the hearts Of our people BY his
side she now sleeps, and her name will
endure among the names of the great
princesses who have adorned the
throne of the Hohenzollerns."
All the London papers appeared to.
day with mourning borders and all
published editorials expressing deep
sympathy with the two mourning
royal houses, extolling the virtues Of
the deceased, and referring generally
to the great difficulties incidental to
her relations with the HohenzolIerns.
especially the bitterness displayed
toward her by Bismarck.
