The Ian With The DriII.


Written by Prof. W S. Walker OF Kelogg.]
ThAttnAp With the candle grease upqntn1 hat
With dinner pail and O. ndle sticksip hand,
And GtiIny. .hobnsiled shoes upon his feet,
10 Soldief 70 the marrow, nhderstand-
His foeman il the swart, unfeeling rock;
His armament the shovel, pick and drill;
His music Is the giant powders shock;
His conquest 10 The gold in yonder hiiiii,.
He shares soldiers peril every hour,
But fires the roaring volley Of bis drill
Against the last retreat Of stony power,
And bends submitting mountains to his will
His lurking foe OF dripping cold basalt,
In willy wait Is lying for his life:
A boulder crawls along hidden fault
Assassin, with catapul or knife
The tunnel bends to grip him as he stands;
{. The heavy gas lie throttling his breath;
The freezing air has paralized his hands:
Pneumonia breeds In darkness for his death.
His victories that heap OF rubbish tells,
That dump that emulates the mountains nigh
Each stubborn rock was captured in the hell
His leaning thrust OF palpitating steel
Will fnd his ancient foem8n's 1inty core,
That frowning rock will totter down and kneel
And at the victors feet his treasure pour
Each acre Of our country, rich and grand
Els hallowed by libation Of life;
Each roof tree can in peace and honor stand.
Because confirmed by heroes In strife
Each fortune OF our patrlmony great
Is sacred for the sacrifice it cost
Each dollar Is laurel to the state.
Made holy by the precious lives it lost.

COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

WThe first of the series of
county campaign meetings
was held at Johnston yester-,
day. All candidates had to-
file their pledges and pay their
assessments by noon of yester-
day, SO there is no longer any
doubt as to who will be in the
several races. The chief
speakers at these meetings
will be candidates for con-
gress, house of representatives
and county superintendent of
education Those who aspire
to a seat in congress should
discuss national problems;
those who aspire to legislative
honors should discuss fully
the good roads question, child
labor in cotton mills, biennial
sessions Of the Legislature, the
ways and means of improving
the finances of our county
with the view of wiping out
all past Indebtedness and put
ting the county on a cash ba-
sis. Our people desire to know
how the aspirants stand on
these and several other ques-
tons. The candidates for
the office of county superin-
tendent of education should
let the people hear from them
on the needs, also the improve
ments that should be made in
our schools, chiefly, public
schools.
Crops are now made and
our people should attend the
county campaign meetings.
We believe they will.
