DAYS GONE By.

Oh, the days gone byl Oh, the days gone byi
The apples in the orchard and the pathway
through the rye,
The chirrup Of the robin, and the whistle OF
the quail
Az he pipcd across the meadows sweet as any
nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brinmed over In the
days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked feet
were tripped
By the honeysuckle tangles where the water
lilies dipped,
And the ripple Of the river Tipped the moss
along the brink
Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle
came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless Of the tru-
ants hayward cry,
And the splashing Of the swimmer in the days
gone by.
Oh. the days gone byl Oh, the days gone by!
The music Of the laughing lip, the luster OF
the eye,
The childish faith in fairies and Aladdin's
magic ring,
The simple, soul reposing, glad belief in ev'
erything,
When life was like q story, holding neither
sob nor sigh
In the golden, olden glory Of the days gone by.

A Ruling of the War Departme nt.

The order recently issued by the War
De partment to the effect that th'
American soldiers who married native
women in Porto Rico would be held
responsible by the militry authorize
if they deserted their waves and chill
dren furnishes a lesson as to the charat-
ter of the American soldiers. But de.
cent, honorable people are appalled, at
the idea of such baseness. 1t is not
complimentary to the of morality
ofthe American people to be compelled
to say that there may be some differ
ence Of opinion as to wherein the base
ness consists; but there are doubtless
those who think it baser TO live with q
woman of an inferior race even after
the bonds of matrlmony have been
sealed than to desert her and her chill
dren because such a relationship might
not be tolerated in this country. 1t it
a pitiable plight these soldiers have
got themselves into, it is true, but the
wal department does right when it
demands of them that they remain
faithful to their alliances. They
should be compelled, if it be possible to
remain in Porto Rico or be transported
to some other cline where miscege-
nation of this sort is tolerated.
Meantime, let the soldiers of The
Anglo-SaXon nations stationed among
alien races take warning.

"This seems to me really awful
said one with a suppressed sigh.
What troubles me is, know so little
about it,"
Yes" said another, "and it puts a
stop so to every thing! Of what use
will all these things be tomorrow"
There was a poor seamstress III the
corner of the room, who now spoke.
1--WE shall be ever with the Lold," she
said.
ppm sure | don't know what that
can mean, "said the first speaker, with
kind of shudder; lit seems rather
fearful"
"Well," said the other; "it seems
so sudden-when II never dreamed
of any such things-to change all at
once, from this to that other life
1T is enough to be with him." said
the poor woman. oh, [ have longed

issues" they said. "He is coming.
He will settle all. Ordinations and

They are the shadow; the substance is

COUNTY MUTUAL
ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA.
Abbeville Division.
Abbeville, S. G.

II IS WITH PLEASURE WE
announce the fact that we have
effected arrangements by which we are
prepared to conduct the business Of
the County Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton of America" in Abbeville Coun-
ty, independent of the Parent Asso-
citation whose headquarters are at I'm
ion, S. G..
The purpose of the Association is to
secure to the family Of each member
of the same who may die, one dollar
for every member belonging to the AS
ISOLATION at the time of his or her
death.
The idea in ertenso is to take one
thousand persons, men and women,
bind them together in q business way
to help each other in time of need and
trouble. It is more like a family af-
fair than anything. else. You only
pay when one dies. If you join now
your first payment of $3.50 pays you
up until first of January, 1905, unless
we lose one of our members, when you
would be called on to pay one dollar
and ten cents to replace the amount
paid out on account of the death claim
and expenses.
1t is unquestionably the cheapest in
surance known of. You are receiving
insurance at actual cost.
Any white persons between the ages
of eighteen and ffty-ive, male or fe-
male, may become a member of the
Association until the number of one
thousand be reached; after that no
one over thirty car get in, and he only
10 replace q deceased member. If,
therefore, you are over thirty years of
age this is the only chance you will
have of Joining.
You owe it to your family, you owe
it to yourself to provide something for
their protection in case you are taken
away from them.
Consider the matter, examine and
study u plan, act promptly and let
our agents write you up at once.
Remember that this is purely a home
institution ; the money to pay death
claims is in the bank at this place, be-
ing always collected in advance of a
death !; the claim paid Immediately on
notice Of death of the member no
waiting sixty or ninety days, with
ever so much "red tape" to be OBJ
served in order to collect a death claim
land that the officers Of The company
are your W people.
If there is any additional informa-
ton as to the plan desired, call on
either of the undersigned or any of
the company's agents and they will
take pleasure in explaining the same.

President.

Prominent Portland Elk Was Knocked

Stockton, CAL. May 14.-A. j..
Johnson, member of the lodge Of
Elks at Portland, lies in a hospital
here in very pfecarious condition,
his mind wandering and a high fever
burning within him. Johnson is a
victim of knockout drops administered
in nearby mountain town by young
thug who subsequently robbed him.
Johnson is a commercial traveller, and
has often been in this part of the
state before. He came to town suf-
fering from the effects Of the drops,
but his case was not regarded as Sc
rious. Later he developed symp-
toms which greatly alarmed his at
tendants, and his lodge in Portland
was communicated with. He is seized
with sort of dementia which breaks
forth at intervals. Between these
spells he lies in an unconscious con-
dition.
