Pope Leo XIII died at 4o4 P. NJ. yes
terday, after being critically i'll for 16
days. He was aged 90 years, 4 months
and IS days, and the length of his ponti-
ficate probably the most benign in the
history of the Catholic church-was rs
years and months. The Pope's last
words were reported to be Father, /"
Mother, and his last conscious act was
an attempt to bless his nephews and
others at his bedside. The conclave for
the election of his successor will assemble
within ten DAYS.

We are pleased to note that Capt. E. S
Avis. another former "Charles Town
boy who has aimed high and made his
mark in the world, has been recently
elected president of the North Georgia
Agricultural College. A special to the
Atlanta Constitution, referring to col
lege matters, says ''Dr. E. S. Avis,
the new president has recently made a
very satisfactory visit to the school pre-
paratory to his early removal here to as
sumo charge. His own thorough mill
tary training at West Point and many
years of active army service fit him well
to preside over Georgia's great military
school. HIS successful experience as a
southern teacher and his adoption of the
work as his profession will add strength
to the well-selected faculty of the college"

How to Prevent Group

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and 1t will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fell. 1t is, in
fact, the only remedy that can be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by Forsyth

A TMWOR11r[E POEM,
TEARS, idle TEARS.

(Bx Alfred Tennyson.)
Tears, idle tears. I know not what they
mean.
Tears from the depth Of some divine
despair
Rise in the heart. and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn fields,
And thinking Of the days that are no
more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering or
sail,
That brings our friends up from the un-
derworld,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the
verge;
So sad, 50 fresh, the days that are no
more.
All, sad and strange as in dark summer
dawrs,
The earliest pipe. Of half-awaken'd birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The easement slowly grows a glimn,ertng
square;
So sad. 50 strange, the days that are no
more.
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy
fegn'd
On lips that are for others; deep as love.
Deep as first love, and wild with all re-
greet
Q death in life, the days that are no
more.
