June entitled "Songs of Ioil and Triumph
There is 10 DEATH the stars 60 down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death the forest leaves
Convert to life the viewless air;
The rocks disorganize to feed
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death the dus. we tread
shal! change, beneath the summer showers
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is no death the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wntry hours,
The warm sweet breath Of May.
There is no death the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to cath
Are ever first to seek again
The country Of their birth.
And all things that for growth or y
Are worthy of our love OF care,
Whose loss has left Us desoate,
Are safely garnered there.
Though life become a dresry waste.
We know its fairest sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice of bird like melody
That we have missed and mourned so long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no death! although we grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms.
Although with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust to rest,
And say that they are dead,
They are not dead, they have but passed
Beyond the mists that blind US here,
Into the new and larger life,
OF that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe Of clay
To put their shining raiment on;
They have not wandered far away
They are not ''lost" or ''gone.
Though dsenthrallsd and glorded,
They still are here and love US yet;
The dear ones they have LETT behind
They never can forget.
And sometimes, when our hearts grow fant
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves
Of grief or passion sweep,
We feel upon our ievered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath OF balm;
Their arms enfold W., and our hearts
Grow comtorted and calm.
And ever near, US though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the .boundless universe
+ life-there are no dead.

July %, 1903.
Saturday evening we learned of the
accidental shooting of a young man,
Fred Eichoff, at the Pfutzenreuter
place just across the river from here.
1t appears he was haying and had the
gun in the wagon. For some reason
he caught the gun by the barrel and
drew it towards him, the hammer
catching on something and dis
charging the gun. The load struck
him In the abdomen, tearing bladder,
bowels and stomach to pieces. In
that condition he lived in agony some
two hours. DR.. Arnold of Hecla was
sent for and arrived a few minutes
before he died. DR.. Rock was also
sent for but did not get all the way
until notified Of his death. Fred
was a cousin of the Pfutzenreuter
boys and came out from Norway last

Hecla for burial on Sunday.

these who are interested in forwarding
the South Carolina view of the race

should withdraw Mr.. Tillman from the

Our Great Fortress in the West Indies.

there could have been 10 better Ioca-

Admiral Dewey's Break.

1t is exceedingly fortunate for the
United States that the gallant officers
of the army and navy fight with a
great deal more discretion than they
talk If some of them did not make
war with better judgment than they
exhibit in discussing public affairs. not
even Spain would need to fear US in
armed conflict on land or sea. admir-
al Dewey is the latest to get his foot
in it by too much talking of the wrong
kind. Indiscretions of young officers
have not been surprising The "Hoch!
der Kaiser" song of the gallant Captain
Coghlan at a New York banquet
brought but temporary discomfort and
mild punishment to that young man,
for President Mckinley and the coun-
try were agreed that it was requiring
too much of human nature to insist
that Coghlan should keep quiet in the
privacy O; a club concerning the feel
ings which had been aroused in the
breasts of American officers at Ma
Mia by the German insolence toward
Dewey, and when Coghlan some time
ago was made a rear-admiral there
was no objection from any quarter; his
promotion had been won by meritorious
service and indiscreet talk was not
weighed against him.
Nor can the American people be
swerved from their admiration of
George Dewey by his unwise talk. But
there will be general surprise and re-
