or is paying for one before he sacrl-
fees it. that under the administra-
tion of Major yardaman he Will get
the same protection in life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness granted
him by the constitution, as he is to-
day, that the colored schools OF the
CITY and county will go on just the
same and thei" children will be
educated.

scholarship.

And his torrent swept o. a world
And women and children and men were his prey
And Death was his brother, who walked everywhere
And the faces of mortals were white with dismay
A babe in a cradle was rocked o fro
Tossed hither and thther, mid hotsam and wreck
With only grim Death and the angels to know,
A mariner pitiful deck
With only grim Death and the angels? Not

Sucked downward tossed upward, the cradle his goal;
