A STATE SONG.
Federation of Women's Clubs Want II
Sung in Schools.


One of the features introduced ait the
recent nieeting-of the State Federation
of Womens Clubs, at Muskegon was
the reading of paraphrase of Michigan
My Michigan written by Douglas
Mallock of that city, and the association
would like to have it made the state
hymn and introduced into the public
schools of the state.
The words are as follows:
MICHIGAN, MY MICHIGAN"
A song to thee, fair state of mine,
Michigan, my Michigan;
But greater song than this is thine,
Michigan, my Michigan;
The thunder of the inland sea,
The whisper of the towering tree,
Unite in one grand symphony,
Michigan, my Michigan.
l sing a state of all of the best,
Michigan, my Michigan;
| sing state with riches blessed,
Michigan, my Michigan;
Thy mines unmask hidden store,
But richer thy historic lore,
More great the love thy builders bore,
Michigan, my Michigan.
How fair the bosom of thy lakes,
Michigan, my Michigan;
What melody each river makes,
Michigan, my Michigan;
AS to thy lakes thy rivers tend.
Thy exiled ones still to thee send
Devotion that shall never end,
Michigan, my Michigan.
Rich in the wealth that makes state
Michigan, my Michigan.
Great in the things that make men great
Michigan, my Michigan;
Eager the voice that sounds thy claim,
Upon the golden roll of fame,
Will be the hand that writes. the name
Michigan, my Michigan.

A Progressive Farmer.

Mr.. Joseph N. Nance is one of the
most energetic and hardest working
farmers in Abbeville county. On a two
horse farm last year, with an occasional
days plowing of n tenants mule, he
made over thirty-nine Thousand pounds
of seed cotton. Allowing four hundred
and fifty pounds to the bale, he made
twenty y-nine bales of cotton. Mr.. Nance
can show the figures. We have seen
some splendid sample ears of corn from
his place, his crop yielding twenty five
bushels to the acre. One hundred and
fifty bushels of sweet potatoes were also
made from small piece of ground. His
barns are filed with an enormous guam
tity of pea vine hay with which to keep
his stock in nice condition. This farm
was regarded as poor, when Mr.. Nance
bought it, but by good judgment and
hard work he is making it yield bounti-
fully. With good wife and happy
family of children, Mr.. Nance should be
the happiest man in the Third Congress
sional District.-Due West Correspond

fund of stories with which he enliyens
up his stump speeches, SO that his cam

Several courses had been served and
there were yet more to follow, when Mr..

"Down in South Carolina" he said,
"there was negro preacher who dcliv-
cred sermon on Miracles MY be-

A Bad Spot Struck In the Dispensary Law.

In the argument before Chief Justice
Mciver at Cheraw yesterday in the mat
ter Of the injunction against the estab-
lishment of the dispensaries at Scranton
and Lake city, S. w. G. Thipp, Esq, of
this bar made poiut against the dis
pensary law which if the Supreme Court
adhcrded to the precedent it has set,
would, if raised, knock the whole into
pie. The point was that the law was un-
constitutional because it exempted cer-
tain counties from the provisions of the
dispensary law and that is special legis-
lation.
1t appears that in the first act on this
subject that in counties which had pro
hibitory liquor provisions and in towns
which had adopted "local option" laws,
special provision was made as follows
provided that dispcnsaries may be es-
tablished in The counties of Williams
burg, Pickens and Marion and at Seneca
and other towns now incorporated in
Oconee County without such election
"on' compliance with the other require
ments of this act, that son" was
changed, probably by an error in the en-
crossing department, in the act of 1896
to 'or," which removed the section
named entirely from under the operation
of the law"
The whole case is a very interesting
one and Mr.. Thipp has evolved some
most interesting problems out of the
situation. The injunction writ is made
returnable at the next meeting of the
Supreme Court.-Florence Times.

Presbyterian Revision.

A matter of great moment to the
whole world of thought is the action
taken by the revision committee of
the Presbyterian church upon the
Westminster Confession.
The declaration has not yet been
made by the official vote of the
church; but there is little doubt that
the work of the fifteen eminent men
now in session in Philadelphia will
be accepted when it is reported to
the General Assembly in this city
next May. AS far as completed
their work is explanatory rather than
Alternative. The two noteworthy
eliminations that they report are
deeply significant. They give no ad-
herence to the idea that good deeds
alone, without faith, furnish ground
for salvation. But they strike out
wholly the section cf he Confession
which can be interpreted only as
meaning that good works done by
unregenerate men are sinful.
All in all the work is one of keen
est interest to Presbyterians. But it
is perhaps of even deeper signifi-
canoe to those who honor them, al
though not of them for it is a part
and parcel in great world move
ment-a splendid skirmish in the
battle for universal brotherhood and
love and peace. On every hand, in
every sect, this tendency is apparent.
Tolerance for the beliefs Of others,
hope for them now and hereafter,
charity for their honest errors-this
is the ever-growing spirit of present
day religion.-Ncw York Mail and
Express.

WALHALLA, 8. G. [.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 30, 1902
A Sanitarium Burned.

Battle Greek, Mich, February 49,
The Kellogg, or Seventh Day Ad-
ventist, Sanitarium here, which was
on hill at the highest point in the
city, was destroyed by fire early to-
day and the property loss is estimated
. at from 100000 to 100000. So
far as can. be learned there was no
loss of life among the four hundred
people in the sanitarium. Mrs. Ii.
Daniels, of Eldorado, Ark, is the
only person who was seriously in
jurcd. She jumped or fell from the
fire escape at the third story and
sustained a broken leg.
The fire started in the bath room
of the sanitariom building, probably
about the furnace. A still alarm
was turned in, but the first COM
pany of firemen could not cope
with the flames, which shot up the
elevator shaft to the roof like a
rocket. A general call was sent
In, but the fire was beyond control
The water pressure was low and this
added to the handicap of the firemen,
as the sanitarium stood on hill. In
two hours the building was in ruins
and the hospital was nearly des-
troyed. 1t is almost miraculous that
the four hundred sleeping inmates
escaped with their lives. Watch
men went through the corridors
awakening them when the fire was
discovered. Few of them had time
to gather together any clothing, es-
Gaping in their night clothes. The
corridors soon filled with smoke,
and about half the patients were
compelled to make their way down
the fire escapes. Mrs. II. G. Daniels,
who was injured, was on the fifth
floor. She was awakened by the cry
of fire and rushed to the fire escape
on the fourth floor. She got down
safely as far as the third story, when
she either jumped or fell, she does
not know which. She is resting
easily and is in no danger.
The total insurance on the sani-
tarium is $31S,000. In addition to
the loss on the building and it's con-
tents the loss on personal property
of patients is heavy. Nearly all lost
their wearing apparel and many lost
valuable jewels. The building will
be rebuilt at once.

Eaten by CannibaIs.

The Paris La Patrie recently pub
lished a letter received from its cor
respondent, M. Rouyer, a survivor
of the massacre of French
scientific mission by cannibals at
Silveraka, New Guinea, on Janu-
ary 1. M. Rouyer relates that
the yacht Salvatti, with the mis-
sion on board, had anchored off
the coast of New Guinea, and that
several of the explorers landed.
After an apparently friendly recep-
tion from the natives, the latter
treachercusly attacked them during
the night, numbering twenty-five of
the party, including Baron Villars,
Count de Stromy, M. Hagenbock
and M. Vries, and wounding thirty
three, including the writer of the
letter, M. Rouyer, the chief of the
mission, and another Frenchman
named Remier. M. Rouyer writes !:
eve were all sleeping peacefully,
when there was great uproar, and
we were attacked by hundreds of
natives carrying torches. Several of
us were felled to the ground with
clubs, hatchets and speares. Others
were overpowered, carried away and
bound to trees. | was among this
number. 1 received a blow on the
head and tainted. When recovered
consciousness at 5 o'clock in the
morning 1 found myself tied, hand
and foot, and surrounded by savages,
who, believing me to be dead, were
keeping me for themselves. | saw
The body Of Baron Villars near me,
bound to a tree. His body was
naked, his head had been split open,
his eyes had been gouged out and
his groin was horribly mutilated.
The Count de Saint Remy had been
decapitated and his head stuck on
the end of spear as a trophy. M.
Hagenbock was spitted on a bamboo
and was being roasted over fire.
The savages were about to cut him
up. 1 waited my fate. I was afraid
to move. My head hurt me dread
fully. All around me the ground
was strewn with corpses. Suddenly
great clamor arose, followed by a
fusillade. l opened my eyes and
saw DR.. Foriter and the rem nainder
OF. the mission from the yacht firing
on the cannibals. I shouted and the
rescuers ran to me and cut the bonds
which bound me to the tree. The
cannibals fled, leaving thirty-two
dead. The clothes of M. Vries were
found, but his body was missing.
He had evidently been devoured by
the savages during the night"

Dispensary Wins in Rome, Ga.

Rome, Ga, February 20.-The
dispensary wins in Floyd county by
a majority of 1877 votes.
After all the turmoils and excite
mcnt attending this fierce and
spirited contest the city is quiet and
no signs of any disorder or any evil
dcnce of public celebration over
the victory are to be seen on the
streets.
The election was conducted quietly
and orderly, and with the exception
of a slight fisticuff affair at the court
house, when the courtroom was
crowded with voters near the closing,
no disorder of any kind has occurred.
The dispensary people take the
result calmly and even express some
surprise that the majority was not
larger.
Denny & Harris, the attorneys for
the liquor men of Rome, do not look
upon the contest as closed. They
state that they have fought the mea-
sure from its inception all through
the Legislature and before the peo-
pie and will continue to do so. and
that they regard their defeat simply
as one feature of the campaign.
They intimate that the measure
adopted by the Legislature will be
fought on constitutional ground, and
that they hope to knock it out.

Serious Accident at Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, February 19.-At
1870 o'clock last night serious
accident occurred at the power house
of the Spartanburg Railway, Gas
and Electric Company.
Without the slightest warming of
impending danger the great fly
wheel in the engine room burst
and the entire force at work at the
plant, three men, were horribly
mangled by the flying pieces. The
injured were the engineer, l. L. Will
son, Pike, the colored fireman, and
the foreman of the gas plant. None
of the men are expected to survive
their injuries.
The building was considerably
damaged, the roof and flooring being
badly torn up. One of the dynamos
was well nigh demolished and there
are other injuries to the plant not
yet investigated.
The accident caused the stoppage
of the cars and left the city in dark
ness. The Spartanburg Herald,
which relies upon electrical power to
run it's typesetting machine, was
compelled at late hour to hunt up
printers to get ont the paper with
hand composition.
The Electric Company has dupli-
cate power which they hope to have
in use tomorrow.

Woman Blocks oatlaws, Path.

Sumterville, Fla, February 10. ~ enrv
Wilson and julius Goodwin, notorious
negro outlaws, made a savage attack on
Deputy Sheriff Charles Lane yesterday
afternoon as he was leading them into
their cells from the corridor. The offi-
Ger was knocked to the floor and seri-
ously wounded.
The men then ran through the iailor,s
residence and were attacked by Mrs.
Lane, who was rushing TO the assistance
of the officer with winchester rife and
and repeating gun in her hands.
The negroes attacked her and
wrenched the guns from her hands. The
woman's spreams attracted great crowd
and the negroes batricaded themselves
behind their victim and began using
their weapons on all who entered the
house. George Stafford, q young white
man, was dangerously wounded in the
head with club and Willie Porter, an
other white man, was badly wounded in
a clinch fight.
In few mirutes news of the battle
at the sheriff's house spread through the
town. Places of business were closed
and scores of people with all kinds of
weapons ran to the scene The negroes
had rushed upstairs and barrioaded
themselves from the throng below.
Lee Graham, one of the most promi-
nent young men in the city, with gun in
hand attempted to reach the second floor
and was shot dead on the steps.
In the excitement following the MUIR
der the men escaped through the back,
and though several shots were fired at
them in the pursuit, managed to get
away. Both of them are believed to be
seriously wOunded
