Oh; 8 #0ndesful serssu ie lhs a''e:
As it runs through the realm .:
with faulrless rhythm aad q musical
And a broader sweep and {! surge sub
lime,
As it blends with the ocean Of Years;
HON the winters are drifting. like
takes Of snow, -.
And the summers, like the buds be-

And the year in the sheaf-so they
come and they go,
On the river!s breast, with ITS eoo anu
its flow,
AS it glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the River
Time,
Where the softest ofalrs are playing;
There's cloudless sky and a troplcai
cline,
Ano a song as sweet as a vesper cnltns:
And the Junes with the roses are
staying.
And the name of the isle is Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there.
There are browS Of beauty ana oosoms
: Of snow;
They are heaps of dust-but we loved
them so.
There are trinkets and tresses Of hair.
There are fragments of song that no
body sings,
And part Of an infants prayer;
There's a lutte unswept, and a harp
without strings;
There are broken VOWS and pieces OF
rings,
And the garments that she used to
wear.
There are hands that are waved,
when the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear, through the
turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone
before,

fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be the blessed

All the day of our life till night;

1eeiihsd to Give Up sesro Wanted
for Murder in Georgia.

Governor Terrell Of Georgia and
Governor Bliss. OF Wisconsin, are hav-
ing a lively correspondence at present
because the latter governor has so far
declined reQuisitiun of Governor
Terell's for Charlie Thomas, negro,
who is wanted in Augusta, Ga, for
the murder Of James hendrick, a
white man.
III mas killed Kendrick in Augus'a
about a year ago and was II Gently
located in Maryland. He made his
escape shortly after the killing and no
body knew Of his whereabouts until
the Athens police arrested his brother
on one occasion and upon searching
him found letter from Charlie stat
ing where he was living.
The letter was Immediately sent to
the Augusta police and officers armed
with requisition papers was started
for Detroit, where the negro was
arrested.
When the requisition. papers were
resented they were turned down by
lie governor because Of several
.echnicalitieS, one If which was the
fact that Tue judge and solicitor
general signing the requisition had
Shown no authority Of their positions.
News has come to Georgia, however,
that Thomas, who is said to be a
graduate Of Booker Washington's
school, claims that he will be lynched
if be is brought back to Georgia, and
that his attorneys in Michigan are
making tight before the governor on
that ground.
Governor Terrell has witten Cover
nor Bliss a letter assuring him that
Thomas will be given a fair trial, and
stating that it is seldom that negro
is lynched in Georgia for the crime OF
murder. Another hearing will be
given in the matter.-Atlanta Jour-

COTTON BOIL ROT
Is Playing Havoc With Cotton in
Portions of Georgia.


The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle says Assistant
State Entonologist Newell returned
Wednesday morning from Gwinnett
county, where he went to investigate
the supposed boil rot in cotton. Mr..
Newell says he found the territory
effected embraced about sixteen
square miles in which there was prob
ably not over two hundred acres in
cotton, but that cotton is ruined. To
the Chronicle correspondent Mr.. Ne
we'll said:
About week ago we received some
squares and bolls from the cotton
fields, in Gwinnett county, which
appeared to be decaYing badly aud
continued large quantities Of bacteria.
The indications were that the cotton
had been attacked by boil rot, which
is a disease that appeared several years
ago in Alabama, and did considerable
damage there. We are not very well
equipped with laborated facilities for
investigating these things, so in order
to verify our opinion we sent the ma
terial to the department. of agriculture
at Washington, and that department
reported the finding Of the germ
which caused the boil rot. I went to
Gwinnett county yesterday to further
investigate the disease and found it
covered approximately sixteen square
miles, piece Of country near Smell
vile. Investigating the conditions in
the field, however, am not at all
positive it is the boil rot which is
entirely to blame for the trouble. We
are at present engaged in making q
further investig ltion of the trouble,
in cooperation with the authorities
at Washington. :"
is the entire crop ruined?"
''There is perhaps square mile in
which the cotton promises to make no
crop at all. The squares are attacked
as quickly as they form upon the
plant, and at once fall of. The
trouble appears to be very peculiar
one, and one regarding which very lit
tie is known. Snellville, the point at
which the trouble exists: is about
eight miles south of LaWrenceville.
The disease appeared only ten days
ago, and at present seems to be contin-
ed to a section four miles wide and
four miles long"

from Fortified Camp.

The kidnapping of young white
girl and the killing OF one Of a posse
that tried to rescue her, are the
crimes charged against party Of
eight negroes fortified on Bruces Is
land, sixteen miles west Of Fort
Smith, Ark 1t is feared their cap
ture will lead to bloody encounter.
The negroes are said to be we'll armed.
\ few days ago two farmers living
near Wilson's Rock, landed on Bruces
Island in search Of plumS, and acci-
dentally ran into a camp in which
there were two negro men and white
girl about twelve years old. They
made some inquiries about the girl
and the negroes said she was the
daughter of a. white man who was
travelling with them and who had
gone to Fort Smith for provisions.
The negroes would not let the girl
take part in the conversation and this
aroused suspicion. A watch was kept
On the negroes for two days, but no
white man appeared. Monday after
noon party Of farmers decided to in
vestigate the case, and as they neared
the island, were fired on by the ne
groes, and one of the party, Roland
by name, was killed. A sharp fight
was kept up for some time, during
which the girl escaped from the ne
groes and ran to the white men. She
was so excited that she could not give
any intelligent account Of herself.
She said, however, that her father
was not travelling with the negroes,
but that she had been stolen from
her home near Fort Gibson. She has
been taken to Muldrew.
Roland, the dead man, was a COM
parative stranger at Wilson's Rock.
Posses Of citizens left for the scene OF
the trouble from Fort Smith, Spiro
Muldrew and Fort Gibson. There is
much excitement around the island
One or two Of the negroes are known
to he desperate characters.

Found Dead.

A mysterious shooting which blot
ted out two lives occurred in the
southern portion Of Cleveland, Ohio,
Tuesday night. Shortly after 10
o'clock a patrolman walking on Broad
way heard two revolver shots in the
direction OF Ashbel street. Following
the sound he stumbled over the body
OF a well-dressed man about 24 years
of age, with revolver lying near
him. Close by the body lay the body
Of an attractive appearing woman.
Both were dead, the woman shot
through the right temple, the man
with bullet hole behind the left ear.
The police are inclined to the theory
that it was case of murder and sui
eide. Up to late hour the bodies
had not been identified.

MULES ENGRAVING.
Tennessee Agents Said to be Buying
Them up for Speculation.


There is a great exodus Of mules on
from this section to Tennessee. No
mules famine at present exists, but if
the emigration is Kept up at the pace
it has been going at for the last few
weeks there promises to be serious
scarcity before. long. Agents are work
ing this territory and buying all the
mules that they can get and shipping
them away to Tennessee. A car load
was to leave Spartanburg Friday as it
was being loaded Thurday.
The scheme is said to be one Of
speculation. The mules are bought
up and sent away, where they are fat
tened up, got into good condition and
will be again put on the market next
spring. This means that working
mules will come high next year. The
corn crop is said to be good in Tennes-
see and it is considered that a profit
can be made by buying mules and fat
tening them on it during the winter.
Since the crops have all been made,
working mules are not in very general
demand.
In fact any more than one or two
for gathering work is drag on any
farmer during the winter season.
They would have to be cared for and
fed without making any return. The
farmers are not 10th to dispose Of any
surplus animals they they may have
no hand now and the good prices the
Tennessee agents are offering are Sc
curing about as many as they can
handle
A great many Of the mules that are
being shipped away came from Ten
nessee last spring and if they come
back South again next year it will
only be case of wintering "in Sunny
Tennessee. 1t all means, however,
that coupled with the good market
prices Of farm products, mules will
bring good prices next year.-Spartan-
