For sound of the voice that is still"
Truly,
"God moves IN mysterious way
His wonders to perform"
On Friday night, Aug. 30, 1901, at
10 o'clock, the Death Angel came and
carried away the sweet spirit of Mrs.
Lem Thomas. Just why God should
call this dear, good woman so early in
lie, we can not understand now; but,
IF we could push aiar the gates of life
And stand within and all God 8 work

We could interpret all this doubt and
strife
And for each mystery could find a
key.
"But not to day, Then be content,
poor heart!
Gods plans like lilies pure and white,
unfold.
We must not tear the close shut leaves
apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
"And if through patient toll we reach
iue ldnu
Where tired feet with sandals loosed
may rest,
When we shall clearly know and under.
stand,
think that we will say; God knew
the best!"
Ii has been my privilege to be init
mstely associated with Maud ever since
she was a child, but to write her history
as she deserves it written would be hard
to do, no matter how earnest the effort,
Too much can not be said in her praise
Her life was useful and beautiful, and
she has left behind her monument OF
virtue that the storm Of time can neyel

Early in life. Maud Joined the Metho.

she was our faithful organist at the M,

her work as an active member of that
church, just as long as her health
would permit
Maud was sick several months and
suffered great deal: but she was al.

and resignation that was wonderful.

in their qualrel, and consider the price
they propose to charge us, trihe high,
considering the usual price paid for
advertising space in the Herald Libel
as we understand it, is the malicious
publication of untrue and derogatory
words. The publication must be false,
malicious and derogatory Now if the
false, malicious and derogatory adver-
tisement of foreign advertiser one
time is worth ten thousand dollars our
local advertisers are bound to admit
that they have been buncoing us out
of our space at ridiculously low

vision of our rate card. We have al
ways insisted that the Herald had the
largest list of subscribers of any paper
published in this Congressional dis
trict, and now we know it.

NEGRO is LYNCHED.
Paid Speedy Penalty for His Shock
ing Crime.

Troy, Ala, Sept. 3.-News reached
this city late to-day of an assault COM
mitted this morning by Bill Fournery.
alias Bill billiard, ON Miss Wilson,
about eighteen miles southeast of the
city in this county. Miss Wilson, who
is is or II years of age. and the little
daughter of Doc Carroll, about 10 years
of age, were on their way to school at
Chestnut Grove, Just across the liue
in COffey county, when they were over
taken by the negro. He seized Miss
Wilson and the little gifl ran off. AS
she did so the Negro fired his pistol at
her. but missed her. The little girl
raised the alarm and soon a posse was
after the negro.
When they reached the scene of the
crime they found Miss Wilson uncon-
scious and terribly bitten in the face
and bruised about the head.
The posse tracked the negro 10 his
home, where he had gone and laid
down on the bed. saying he was sick.
The little girl identified him. and he
was taken out and shot and then his
body burned
Miss Wilson Is in a precariOus condi-
ton. The sheriff. with three deputies
left tonight for the scene Of the crime.

OUR SCHOOLS.

We have said this tetore, but it is
worth repeating: Nothing builds up a
community like coed schools. The
public schools Of Columbia have done
more for columbia in the last ten or
fifteen years, than any bank, mill or
factory in the city. In purely com.
mercjal and business sense, and not
computing at all the value of education
and corresponding tendency to good
morals; but puiely from a business
standpoint we dare affirm that these
schools have brought more people to
live in Columbia, and 10y so doing have
brought more Investors here and more
trade to Columbia, than any other
enterprise or institution here.
The Columbia Arsenal buildings and
grounds are far more beautiful and
ornamental than are the buildings and
grounds Cf the Mcdowell School; but
the Mcdowell School, IN dollars and
cents-to say nothing of culture and
education-is worth ten times as much
to the Ninth civil district of Maury
county. At the beginning of every
session OF this school and OF the city
schools, if you will read the papers
closely you will see where men are NOV
ing their families to Columbia or into
the Ninth district, to get the benefit of
these schools
What we have needed long time is a
private school for boys, to supplement
our other schools. Now we have that
in Prof. Ford's school. 1t is young
butt has strength and promise. 1t has
the strength of experienced, con
scientious and capable teachers; it will
succeed because it deserves success; il
deserves success because it comes tt
supply, not to tear down. The faster
it grows, the larger and stronger 1t be
comes, the faster Columbia will grow
the larger and stronger it will become.

A gambler in Nashville robs gamb-

A SUGGESTION.

The very pretty and pleasant lawn
fete given in the Atheneum grove Friday
evening by the Retail Clerks Associa-
ton, suggests an idea: which is this
For the corporation to lease, for term
of twenty years say, the unimproved
property fronting School street, all the
way from Seventh to Ninth streets, ana
use it for park purposes
And then we would supplement this
suggestion with another one. That all
the stores and Offices and business
houses in Columbia agree upon some
early closing hour-say $50 in the sum
mer and $50 10 the fall, winter and
spring months-and give their employees
chance to enjoy life little bit.
1t is all foolish notion this way We
have of shortening our days and wear
ing our lives out, working sixteen hours
out of the twenty four, We deny our
selves very many comforts and pleasur-
es by it, and really accomplish little or
no good The little trade that comes
to any business in this town Except the
saloon business and possibly the res
taurantsl after $50 o'clock, if worth con-
sidering at all should be considered in
this lght-that they would come earlier
if they knew they had to. And another
fact worth considering is this. A man
or woman-who works sixteen hours
out of the twenty four day after day,
will not nor cannot do as good, intelli-
gent and effective work as those who
have two to four hours every evening
for rest and recreation. A wornout,
tired clerk can no more sell goods to the
best advantage, than tired horse can
pillow to the best advantage.
Recurring to the park question; Co
lumbia needs it. We need place fol
the small children to play, and fol-
larger ones to meet and walk and talk
together some trysting place where
Columbia can meet and get acquainted
and cultivate sociability-a virtue in
which we are sadly lacking.
That portion of the property alluded
to, at present is bringing no revenue a

reasonable terms. If not, then let tn
matter drop. II they want lega

could be agreed upon, it would cost lit

The Nashville American wants a
State Fair. And of course the Nash
vile American wants it at Nashville.
And thus far we agree with the Amer
lean. A State Fair is a good thing,
and Nashville is the proper place to
have it. But there are two things that
always have killed this State Fair pro-
ject, and always ought to kill it, until
these two things are themselves killed.
One is that they always ask a Legislative
appropriation to it. Instead of its pro-
motors making the Fair pay it's own
way, or if there be any deficit asking
Nashville, the chief beneficiary to
make it up, the Nashville. scheme al
ways is to tax the State with it, The
remote counties of course are opposed
to that They get nothing out of it
and ought not to pay anything for it..
And the nearby towns are opposed to
it for the reason that they lose more OF

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

In politics as we'll rs other warfare,
it is always important to keep your eye
on the enemy.
In the municipal campaign now on
our friends the enemy are playing their
cards with all skill and adroitness.
Their injunction suits are a thing of
the past and like good little boys they
obey the tap Of the bell and go home
and to bed early. Their fights and
boisterous behavior on the public
square and streets, no more dlsturbs
the quiet of the evening hour; their
trough houses" are quiet ana orderly
their wild and woolly talk has quieted
down, and all is calm and serene. They
are playing the injured innocence y
game. They are taxed to death, and
then their best hours taken from them,
and yet they are SO amiable and good
and law abiding that they pursue the
even tenor Of their way without pro-
test or complaint. In short the wild
and woolly hot headed fools among them
have listened to the wise counsel of
good advisors and are casting their
nets for the conservative vote. -
Now, however plain it may be to
some of us that this is simply an cleo
ton trick. the fact remains the same
that it is a good trick. There is no use
saying that nobody will be caught by
such chaff. for they will. There is no
use of soothing at this conservative"
class for as matter of fact they hold
the balance of power between the con-
tending factions in the town. Neither
is there any use in deceiving ourselves
with the suggestion that quiet,
orderly, unabusive. still-hunt cam
