TEXAS WOMEN, SCORE
AGAINST ROOSEVELT.
PalpabIe Hit by tho Daughters OF the
Confederacy On the Panama Sc.
ccSsi0n Matter.

DALLAS, TEX, Dec. 3l.-Miss Katie
Daffan, of Ennis, president of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, Texas
Division, has forwarded to President
Roosevelt the following official commu-
nication transmitting the resolutions
adopted at the recent Houston meeting
touching his recognition Of Panama:
ENNIS, Tex, Dec. 20, 1908.
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States: y
In pursuance of resolution unan-
imouslY passed by the State Convention
Of United Daughters of Confederacy,
held in Houston, Tex, /, as President
of the Texas Division U. d. c., have
the honor to transmit to you the en-
closed resolutions expressive of the sem
timent of that body concerning your re-
cent action in recognizing as nation
the new Republic of Panama, formed
after the secession of the State of Pan
anna from the United States OF Colon
bia.
Those composing the membership of
our organization have Always rested
under the profound and conscientious
conviction that any sovereign State had
the right to withdraw from any COM
pact Of union, where such union had
ceased to subserve the purposes of it's
formation, and they cherish with pride
the deeds of those who so bravely bat
tied against invasion which followed
upon the assertion Of that right by the
people of the South.
And it is peculiarly gratifying to
them to see you, in the exercise of the
prerogatives of your high office, with
the approval of your able Secretary of
State, give to the right of secession
your Endorsement.
Those whom L represent recognize
that the question of secession is prac-
tically settled forever adversely to our
contention, but it is gratifying to us 20
know that even as an abstract question,
it has received Endorsement from such
exalted sourcees
We beg to tender you our assurance
of es eem and to express the desire that
the great Government of which you are
the executive head may grow in great
ness and glory, and, in the language of
Jefferson Davis, "On fhe arch of the
union of indestructible and sovereign
States there may be engraved esto per-
petua"
Yours, very. sincerely,
KATE DAFFAN,
President Texas Div. United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy.

THE REPEAL

WHITMIREs, s. c., Dec. 81, 1908
EDITOR THE ADvERTISER:-I en-
dorse in toto your editorial on repeal
of the lien law. have advocated the
repeal of the lien law for the last ten
or twelve years, aud predicted then the
agricultural conditions existing now,
and several years past. The repeal of
the lien law will do great good to the
farming as we'll as all other interests,
but we need also good labor contract
law and more equal assessment law,
instead Of the poor, miserable one that
we have now on the iatute books. Yes,
let our candidates discuss the questions
and say where the stand, in the cam
paign before the people in each town
ship this next summer.
But am afraid that we will not ac-
complish anything much along that
line herein indicated unless we go back
to the Convention plan OF nominating
candidates. But agitate, yes, and keep
agitating the question in your up-to-
date paper, and believe that at least
some good will be accomplished.
This is q first attempt, hurrledly
written, to state where l stand, and II
you desire, you can us : any part of this
to show where | stand acd how I will
vote, etc., If the opportunity is given
Later on, provided I don't get to
Laurens in the meantime. l will tell
you about Florodora cotton.

happy New Year, am,

Somebody's Darling,

Marie II. L9coSte, "a Southern poetesS,
was born in Georgia, about 1910. The
following poem, which appeared an
anonymously in 1868, inspired by a
scene of the civil war, had her name
attached in an issue of the Southern
Churchman. 1t enjoyed wide popu-
larity at the time:
Iuto ward of whitewashed walls,
Where the dead and dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls,
Somebody's Darling was borne one
day,
Somebody's Darling, so young and so
brave,
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the
grave,
The lingering light of his boyhood's
grace.
Matted aud damp are the curls of gold,
Kissing the snow Of that fair young
brow;
Pale are the lips OF delicate mold,
Somebody's Darling is dying now.
Back from this beautiful blue-veined
brow
Brush all the wandering waves of
gold,
Gross his hands on his bosom now;
Somebody's Darling is still and cold
Kiss him once for Somebody's sake;
Nurmur prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from its fair mates
take,
They were Somebody's pride, you
know;
Somebody's hand had rested there;
Was it mother S, soft and white?
And have the lips of sister fair
Been baptized in those waves of
light?
God knows best; he was Somebody Is
love,
Somebody's heart enshrined him
there;
Somebody waited his name above
Night and morn on the wings of
prayer;
Somebody wept when he marched
away,
Looking 50 handsome, brave and
grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
| Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching for
him,
Yearning to hold him again to the
heart;
And there he lies, with his blue eyes
apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Paus'ng to drop on his grave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head
Somebody's Darling slumbers here"
