Sarollna, my own, my native home,
The dear land of my birth;
'Tis to thee, and thee alone,
Blest land Of all the earth,
l owe my being, my life, my all.
My friends and loved ones dear,
Yea, more than these, 1 owe thee all,
Even the names 1 bear;
Ills TO thy red hills and towering trees,
And valleys and glens and dales;
To thine own plains DER which the
breeze
From the broad Atlantic sails;
To thine own sons who've bled and
died
To set their country free,
And tothine own daughters, the worlds
W pride,
J. owe what e'er 1 be.
To the mem'ry of the time when thou
vast not
The home of the free-born brave,
But an enemy's country whose fast fly
ing shot
Many a man, with agreat kind heart,
Who had come from i've the sea,
Seeking a home where he might in part,
Gain his freedom and liberty;
To those brave men, to their sad past,
And to their own brave hardy sons,
Owe we q debt which's not surpassed,
Even by our greatest ones,
For who can tell, what pen describe,
The trials they underwent,
When on the field they bled and died,
Or suffered for thee imprisonment!
Oh, Cardinal my Carolin,!
The land | love so we'll,
A land of freedom, thou'rt Carolina,
But who, yea, who can tell
Wba. thou wouldn'st be, had it not
been
For these who were noble and brave,
And true TO thee at all times when
Thy future looked dark and grave2
We know not what thou might have
been,
Alb, no, we can not see,
Had it not been that such brave men,
As Marion, Sumter and Lee,
Came to thy rescue and bravely won
The days for freedoms cause,
Fighting their battles, one by one,
With never a break or q pause.
Not only one man and not only three,
But hundreds and thousands and more.
Were fighting for their country's sweet
liberty,
And to keep back the tryant from her
door;
But understand thou, the honors don't
Belong to thy sons, to them alone,
But some to their wives, to their moth
ers, and all
Who were waiting and watching at
home.
In times of war, and in times of peace,
No matter how great thine own need,
Thou hast been at the front, and with a
comedy grace,
Haet kept thy place in the lead;
But then there's q cause, yes, n for it
all,
And the who'e world knows that tits
true,
Each:fsouth Carolinian, when thou
dost call,
Does for thee all he can do.
Oh, Carolina! Carolina !!
The land that borders the wave,
The land that graces America,
The home of the free-born brave,
Because Of thine own Palmetto tree,
And the tropical palm. its mate,
Nature, 1t seems, hath named thee
The glorious Palmetto State.
And this name thou hast with glory
crowned,
For in all times Of the past
Thy sons have gone at the bugle's fret
sound,
And fought till the last;
And now wherever thy colors fly,
Ga land or on the wave,
Men place their hands on their hearts
and cry
There's the flag OF the free-born
brave"

MILLIoNAIRE's POOR STOMACH

MILLIONAJRE'S POOR STOMACH
The worn-out stomach of the over
fed millionaire Is often paraded In the
public prints as q horrible example of
the evil attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionatres are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far more
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these
people, and they suffer far worse tor
lures than the millionaire unless they
avail themselves of q standard medi-
cine like Green's August Flower,
which has been a favorite household
remedy ior all stomach troubles for
over thirty-ive years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect diges-
