off mortality. We are told that
Mr.. Ben Reader and some BOYS
went 'possum hunting Saturday
night. The dogs instead of run
ming 'possums got after the "dog
killer" and brought him to ? bay
and Mr.. Reader killed it. 1t was
a strange creature and he doesn t
know what it was, Then Sunday
afternoon AS Mr.. 5. b. Bundy was
driving up the Lancaster road
near Mr.. 5. F. Barr's, the same
animal came into the road and
was killed by him. At least we

not knowing how many lives tho
animal possessed or possesses we
do not know as to it's truthfulness.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT

Stogner who died August 18th,

months ago since God summoned
our dear father>to leave his earth
ify home and come UP aud live
with Him in paradise.
Our hearts are s9ll bleeding
from the deep wounds Inflicted by
the cycle of death and never will

dead.

Gone where the wicked cease from
troubling,
And the weary are at rest
And, now the last tribute we
can pay to him is to go to his
grave and place flowers on it with
the vision of his lovely form as
green in our memory as on the
day the cold earth hid our beloved
father from us. And look on
and realize that he is sleeping
thero. Certainly Gods ways are
past our understanding, for why
should our dear father bo SO sud
denly taken from his loved ones
and leave us to sail on life's wide
sea alone. Ah! that we can never
know in this life, hut we do know
that these sore afflictisns are q
blessing in disguise, and the strong
ties of love which bound cur
hearts together in our earthly
home, are now used to draw us
nearer to Heaven, where father
will meet us with outstretched
arms to welcome us to our eternal
home beyond deaths dark repul.

Reason for Subsidy.

YorkviIie Enquirer.
The following contribution TO
the ship subsidy discussion comes
unsolicited from prominent cit
izen of Lancaster: 1t was not in
tended for publication; but as the
argument presented carries con-
siderable fierce, we will take the
liberty of lsproducinglt, leaving
eff the signature of the writer:
Editor of The Yorkville Enqulr-
er:
l thank YOU for the copy of
your valuable paper sent ut my
1 request. tage some interest in
the friendly discussion between
! The Enquirer and the Charleston
News and Courier ON The ship sub
sidv question. l ain. m.incllned to
The Enquirer's view of the ques,
tiOn.
| think that the News and Cour>
ier is disposed to conGne the dis,
cusslon to too narrow a compass.
1t would seem to assume that The
Enquirer advocates the building
up of the merchant marine by
subsidies, merely to save the pro-
fits for this country ON the carry
ing trade. While that might he
something gained when the trade
or commerce with the east is built
up and increased in volume, it
strikes me that the greater advant-
ago is outside of that.
1t appears to me that the main
Fesson for subsidizing ship
building by getting government
aid is to establish between
China and the Philippine islands
on the one hand and the United
States on the other a greatly in
creased commerce and trade-far
greater than we now have. Yes
sells built here and carrying the
U. S. flag would he more ready
and strive harder to build up this
commerce and trade than foreign
vessels will ne inclined to do.
English and German st~ps will he
inclined to establish and give this
trade to their own countries. This
is natural.
What we want is to establish an
increased trade and commerce
with these eastern countries, and
draw it, as far as practical to this
country. We could not expect
German or English ships TO do
this. A great trade with those
eastern countries would bring to
us great revenues, and increase
the wealth. of the United States.
Here would bs the real advantage.
The News and Courier and The
Stateare not doing patriotic service
In my view of the eastern question
They, like some of our Democratic
congressman, are fighting the. ad-
ministration at Washington on all
questions right or wrong, without
any regard t. the merits of the
question. ] have NO respect for
any person who will oppose every
measure, right or wrong that is
sugges cd by political opponent.
That is u great reason why our
Democratic party does not sue
ceed. 1t has no leaders at Wash
ington and it opposes many good
measures merely because they are
inangurated by the Republicans.
