This matter has within the last three weeks been the subject oi an examination by a special agent oi the Department of Commerce and La bor and his report on the matter IS now believed to be at the department ohce in Washington. The head of the Dark Tobacco Growers Association is F. G. Ewing of Nashville, Tenn, and he has freuuently taken occasion to express his disapproval of the methods of the

Contrast of Father and Son.

Kansas City Star.

And then he gives his opinion of the man who, when fortune came. would desert the wife who had done the homework and sewing and had reared the children when her husband was earning $40 a month. The elder Corey who at 75 is still tax collector of a Pennsylvania town, may never have had 31.000 in his life. but he Is not blinded by the glitter of his sons millions. By the side of his father doesn't the head of the steel trust with all his wealth ap- pear little and cheap?

 It then quoted the whole of William Ernest Henley's poem, "Invictus," as follows. ,'-' Out of the night that covers me.
 Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may pc
 For my unconAuerable soul. Tn the fell clutch of circumstance

 How charged with punishments the I am the master oI my fate

 When this was read by Judge A. L. M,iier he was reminded of few vers- es written by his friend. Gen. B. F. Alexander. who as soIqier' ger ,,,nssrnted ensraeedI in his own person the genius of Geor- gia Y p printing verses anonymously. He wrote. among other things, the Stir rup Cup" as follows:
 The Stlrrup Cup. My short and happy day Is done. The long and lonely night comes on; And al my door the pale morse stanus SE TO bear me forth to unknown lands. His whiny shrill. his paving, hoof Sound dreadful as the. gathering storm And must leave this shelt'ring roof And joys of life. so soft and warm. Oh. ioys of life, so soft and warm Kind friends so faithful and so true. So sweet to kiss. so fair to view So sweet to kiss. so fair to view. The night comes on, the light burns And at ny' my door the pale horse stands To bear me forth to unknown lands. Henleys he tOhs 1n%lctus T n pVy Was doiefui and disheartening and Gen. Alexander. taking a more cheerful view and one in strict accord with the Christian faith, added to the poem of MT. Hay the following verses:
 But storm ana gloom anu HySlcLy Shall only nerve my courage high. Who thro' life's scenes. hath borne his May face it's closd with tranquil heart. No trembling hand will grasp the rein, No craven soul the path will trace; This life hath not been mine in vain, In unknown lands I'll seek my place.

 When Pjen. Alexander wrote these verses he did not know who was the author of the "stirrup Cup" He thought the lines of the latter weer incomplete and too much filled wit hthe sadness of death and parting Gen. Alexander wrote his addendum In 1898. After learning years later that John Hay was the author he sent the added verses to him and MT. Hay, just few days before he died, wrote hin letter thanking him for them. Judge 1 Miller obtained the permission of Gen Alexander to publish them in The Tel l egraph.
