A clergyman in the corn belt
whose identity unfortunately has
been lost, sent this church notice to
the editor: "The service on Sunday
morning is at IL a. m. The suppo-
sition that it is ten minutes later is a
mistake. Men are not excluded from
the week.night service. The seats
in the front portion Of the church
have been carefully examined. They
are quite sound and may be safely
trusted not to give way. 1t is quite
legitimate to join in the singing.
The object of the choir is to encour
age, not discourage, the congrega-
ton"

A third time the Japanese general

A third time the Japanese general
ordered charge. This time he sent
in larger force. The japanese ad-
vanced steadily to the assault. So
thickly did the corpses strew the
ground that the charging soldiers
were continually stepping on the
bodies of their comrades. But un-
daunted the japanese rushed on,
crying, "Banzai," Cong live the EN-
peror.) Just as it seemed that the
charge would be successful the crest
of Nan-Shan again belched forth q
storm of fire on the advancing foe.
This time machine guns, heavy
guns and the rifles rang in unison.
An awful silence followed the roar
of the guns and those Watching the
battle saw that every man in the
japanese charging column was down.
Not one of the thousands who had
advanced to the assault had escaped.
In the lull which followed the Rus
slams could be seen peering over their
breastworks at the scene of awful
stiffness.
1t speaks volumes for the courage
of the island men that they were
still undaunted. Three desperate
assaults had been made on the Rus
sian position and had been repulsed
with awful slaughter, but when a
fourth assault was ordered there
were no laggards. This time fully
half the japanese army rushed for
the hill. Again the Russians cannon
and rifles belched a strem of death,
but the Japanese closed their ranks
and rushed on. Over the dead and
dying they leaped with their wild
cheer OF "Banzai" and just as the
sun was sinking, blood red, the
japanese line reached the crest of
Nan-Sh and the banner of the M
kado was placed over the Russian
position. AS for the Russians,
broken by the dauntless courage of
the islanders, they were in full re-
treat.
The Japanese pursued them far
into the night. The way to Port
Arthur had been won, but at fearful
cost. 1t is estimated that it cost the
japanese 10000 men, in killed and
wounded to take Shan and the
killed exceeded the wounded.

Healthy Mothers.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet iU is no unusual sight to
see mother, with babe in arms, cough
ing violently and exhibiting all the sym D.
toms of consumptive tendency. And
why should this dangerous condition
exist, dangerous alike to mo ,er and child
when DR.. Boschee's German syrup would
put stop to it at once? No moth er
should be without this old and tried
remedy in the house-for its timely use
will promptly cure any lung, throat or
bronchial trouble in herself or her chill
dren. The worst cough or cold can be
speedily cured by German Syrup; so can
hoarseness and congestion of the bron-
chial tubes. II makes expectoration easy,
and gives instant relief and refreshing
rest to the cough-racked consum ptive.

Seneca.

She was ordering him about in
her usual imperative style, for they
were married, of course. And he,
usually the meekest and most sub

"Do you think you rule the uni

"No, but | rule the first letter of

And once again he realized that his

The Conquered Banner.

Furl the banner, for tits weary;
Round its staff tits dropping dreary;
Furl it, fold tit is best;
For there's not man to wave it,
And there's not sword to save it,
And there's not one left to lave it,
In the blood which heroes gave it;
And its foes now scorn and bravet;
Furl it, hide it--let it rest!
! Take that banner down! tits tattered;
Brr ken is it's staff aud shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered
Over whom it floated high;
Oh. tits hard for us to fold it,
Hard to think there's none to hold it,
Hard that those who once uurolled it
Now must furl it with sigh.
Furl hat banner-furl it sadly;
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave
Swore that foeman's swords could neve.
Hearts like theirs entwined disseyer,
And that flag should float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave,
Furl it! for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And the banner-it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailng
OF its people in their woe;
For, though conquered, they adore it
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it:
And, oh! wildly they deplore it,
Now to furl and fold it SOL
Furl that banner. True, tits CORY;
Yet It's ~reathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust!
For its fame, on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds, though now we must!
Furl that banner softly, slowly;
Treat it gently-it is holy,
For it droops above the dead;
Touch it not-unfold it never;
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are fled.

For the Money There Is In II.

In recent letter TO the South Ca
rolina Baptist Joel E. Brunson said
Z" If mans life before he became
candidate shows him opposed to the
liquor traffic you may rely upon his
voting against it," The Manning
Times construes this "to mean that a
sincere prohibitionist will not accept
the liquor traffic as settled question
because 1t is religious principle,
and religious principle cannot be
compromised, and whenever we find
candidate who has espoused the
cause of prohibition now proposing
to accept the dispensary in any form
we put him down as one whose pro-
fesslons cannot conscientiously APP
peal to any prohibitionist or dispen-
saryite, and the safest plan would be
to leave him at home"
There does not appear to be any
objection to this proposition of our
Clarendon contemporary, but the apg'
peal which it makes to the voters
behalf of the dispensary shows v
insldious has been the iDtluencSy of
this institution upon the thought and
conduct of the voters in this State.
We are told that "the revolutioniz-
ing of the dispensary" "means
cutting off of funds from the schools
and pensions with sure result of
in ;reasing taxation" If this view
shall continue to prevail we shall
have the public schools of South Ca
rolina and the rum shops of South
Carolina harnessed together indef-
nitely, and the spirit of independ-
ence and true democracy in our peo-
pie affected by questions of revenue
only.--News and Courier.

The Sword OF Robert Lee.

Forth from its scabbard, pure and bright,
Flashed the sword of Robert Lee!
Far in the front of the deadly fight,
High o'er the brave in the cause of Right,
Its stainless sheen, like beacon light,
Led us to victory.
Out of its scabbard, where, full long,
1T slumbered peacefully,
Reused from its rest by the battles song,
Shielding the feeble, smiting the strong,
Guarding the right, avenging the wrong,
Cleaned the sword of Lee.
Forth from its scabbard. high in air,
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw it cleaning there,
And knew who bore it, knelt to swear
That where that sword led they would
dare
To follow-and to die.
Out of its soabbard Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led braver band,
Nor braver bled for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had cause so grand,
Nor cause chief like Lee.
Forth from its scabbard! How we prayed
That sword might victor be;
And, when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on, while cleaned the
blade
OF noble Robert Lee.
Forth from it's scabbard, all in vain
Bright flashed the sword of Lee;
'Tis shrouded now in its sheath again;
1t sleeps the sleep of our noble slain
Defeated, yet without a stain,
Proudly and peacefully.

THE BATTLE OF NAN.sHAN HILL.
Over the Bodies Of 10000 Comrades the
laps Charge for Fourth Time.

The battle of Nan-Shan Hill,
which was won by the japanese, was
the bloodiest of the war. Nan-Shan
Hill is one of the strongest positions
naturally surrounding Port Arthur,
and it's natural strength had beer,
increased thousand-fold by the ap-
plication of military science.
The crest of the hill was lined
with scores of quick firing guns,
which the Russians removed from
Port Arthur.
Behind these batteries were ranged
thousands Of the best rifiemen in the
service of the Gar. In front of Nan
Shan Hill the Russians had planted
scores of mines, over which the Japa-
nese had to march in charging the
work. Besides the mines, barbed
wire was literally used. 1t was said
that so thick were the wire entangle-
ments that rabbit could hardly find
its way through.
Although knowing the strength of
the position, the Japanese COM
mander did not hesitate to order an
assault. The hill had to be taken in
order to complete the investment of
Port Arthur. For hours the japanese
artillery rained fire of shell on the
hill. The fire was very destructive and
the Russians guns gave evidence of
being weakened. Finally the Japa-
nese general called for a thousand
volunteers to rush the hill. There
was hearty response to the call and
one thousand of the best men in the
army of the Mikado started to clear
the entanglements. The mines were
found and the connections cut so
that they could not be exploded.
Then the japanese began to destroy
the wire entanglements. The Rus
sian rifiemen behind the crest of
Nan-Shan were firing only at inter-
walls while the japanese were at this
work.
Finally the japanese, having
cleared many of the entanglements,
started to rush the hill. The Rus
SLAMS waited till the japanese line
was in easy range and then poured
in fire before which the little brown
men went down. Not one reached
the crest Of the hill.
a second charge was ordered by
the Japanese general, and with
cheers his men advanced to the
assault Again the Russians re-
served their fire until the japanese
were at close range and then the
rifles sang song of death. AS be-
fore, the japanese lire went down
and Nan Shan was still untaken.

Because some few farmers on the East-

there is no reason for Democrats say
