A SONG FOR PEACE.


While we lift our voices in unison today
Yet deep in our hearts there are tears;
We must quit these scenes and wander far
away
Into paths that diverge through the
years.
But howso distant our steps are called to
range
On native or alien shore,
Outlines we'll come from visions that are
strange
And minglc here in memory once more.
CHORUS.
A song for Peace, uod bless her
All join the deep refrain:
Though we journey on to the bounds Of
the world,
Our hearts will eyermore with her re
main.
We fondly have dreamed that in days
which are to be
New pleasures and friendship abide
That out DER the mountains with spirits
glad and free
We shall linger in expansions green
and wide:
But chill now sweeps like the shade of
an eclipse.
Till we long for the sunlight once moro
And a far voice whispers with monitory
lips.
Such joys the future never can restore
Cho.-A song for Peace. etc.
Below is the speech of Miss Irene Lacy,
the beautiful daughter of State Treasurer
Lacy, who spoke for the senior class:

THEORIES ABOUT cATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common
 Disease.

Mark Twain's cure for 0 cold in the head was simple, but he claims very ef- fective in his own case; his plan was to eat nothing whatever for twenty-four hours or presumably until the trouble had disappeared.
 | Although not able to speak from per sonal experience as to tile effectiveness of this treatment, it certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but 1t occurs to us that the application of 1t to a case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficulties.
 Catarrh, as everyone knows, is a chronic cold in the head and MT. Twain's treat ment, if it should become Q fad, would make of us a nation of fasters, an army emulating the example, of the immortal Tanner who achieved worldwide fame by fasting forty days.
 Catarrh is certainly becoming a national disease and there is little doubt but that errors in diet particularly over-eating, Is a very common cause.
 Most people, however, are more inter- ested in the cure of the trouble than in the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies than MT. Twain's.
 Hydrastin is new remedy, very effec- tive in some forms of Catarrh. Red Gum is another which on account of it's anti septic properties is very valuable, while many severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been entirely cured by the sanguin- aria or extract of Blood Root alone
 Within year an enterprising chem ist has combined all of these remedies in tablet form, palatable and convenient and the superiority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to supply, the popular demand.
 They are called Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets and it is doubtful if any medicine has achieved national popularity in so short a time as this.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used bv thousands of travelling men because they can be carried in the pocket and used any time and in any quantity. being free from cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug. F They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often in a few hours time.
 For nasal Catarrh they are far superior to any wash, lotion or ointment. the use Iof which is often as inconvenient and an- moving as the disease itself.
 (, For coughs, colds. bronchial catarrh and catarrh of stomach these tablets give immediate relief and a permanent cure where lotions douches and inhalers make no impression whatever.
 This preparation is boon 10 catarrh sufferers. ara any druggist will tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a remedy . that has come to stay.

STATE NEWS ITEMS.

The twin cities-west Point, Ga. and Tanett AIa.-announced last week that they would have a street fair, but so pit- ter were the denunciations of 1t from the pulpit that Monday morning W.B.Scruggs circulated petition asking the city coun- oil to suppress the proposed fair' or at least that was the intent of the petition. But this was all in vain, as the council had already signed contract for the show, and Col. Phil Lanier, the mayor end the aldermen say that the city could rot refuse to let the Oriental Carnival company exhibit. The city would De sub icct to dt images If adverse action was taken.
 Anniston Star: movement has been started for a free ferry across the Coosa at Macon, Ala, and the argument is ad- yanced that the ferry will bring much ad- ditional country trade to Anniston. Eto- wah county maintains free ferries that have done much to increase Gadsden's cut of-tcwn business. and there are many on the other side of the Coosa who would come to Anniston to trade if the problem of crossing the river was made easier.

BALANCE RECORDS BROKEN.
Individual Showing of Some Banks
 Gave Rise to Conjecture.

New York, January 31.-Todays bal ances, $24,977,97S, broke all previous re- cords in volume, the nearest approach be- ing $2494S,00O in July of last year. The individual showing on some of the leading banks gave rise to much conjecture For instance the First National bank had a debit balance of over SIP. .O0O 900 which was partly offset by the credit balances of the Bank of Commerce and American Ex- change national bank institutions with which the First National has close affil- iations. The National City bank reported a debit of SS,00OOO0, but the figures were not reflected in any of its subsidiary banks.
 The unusual large credit balance of the sub-treasury at the clearing house amounting to S2,66i,356 results directly from payment of note and interest to the government of about S. S.0O9,000 by the Central Pacific railway of California.

ARRIVAL OF THE NEWPORT.
Her Omcers rendered the Freedom
of the City.

The Newport passed the City Ex-
change on arrival up from Tybee at
noon and proceeded to the foot of West
Broad street, where she anchored al
most in nlidstream. At $3.50 o'clock the
committee, composed of Mayor Myers,
Commander H. S. Colding of the Ma
val Reserves Hon. A. B. Moore. Col.
]. H. Estill and Maj. w. w. William
son went aboard, and extended the
freedom of the city to Capt. Metz and
his officers. At o'clock Lieut.. T. II.
Gignilliat, Lieut.. c. w. Saussy, Lieut..
V. H. Worthem, junior grade; Ensign
H. Sanford Haupt and Ensign G. w.
Beckett of the Naval Reserves went
aboard and paid their respects to Capt.
Metz and the other officers.
The officers of the Naval Reserves
arranged to entertain the officers of
the Newport with fish supper at Ban
non Lodge this evening. An invita-
ton from Mayor Myers to be his guests
at an informal dinner last night had
already been accepted. and the distin-
guished visitors agreed that they would
visit the fair tomorrow afternoon.
Capt. Metz stated to the Mayor that
ne could not tie the ship up at any
of the wharves, it being contrary to
the policy of the navy. He would,
however, be glad to receive visitors
daily from o'clock until 5.
Entertained by Mayor Myere.
The dinner given by Mayor Myers at
the De Soto at night was a most en-
joyable affair. The table was pretti-
1y decorated with ferns and roses, and
the party was a congenial one. The
dinner was informal in every way, and
it was agreed before hand that there
would be no toast making.
But toasts and stories are not the
same thing, and Col. Quinn spun sew
eral entertaining incidents in his mill
