IN MEMORlAM.

Mrs e. j. White, our dear and faithr
full teacher whom we have known from
our infancy quietly passed away from
her happy earthly home on May the
fourth to occupy a more beautiful nan
sion with her angel friends in heaven
where n golden crown set with the most
precious jewels will adorn her head,
and her clear sweet voice will be first to
welcome us, when we cross the swell
ing tide.
Fer many, many friends and loved
ones fully realize what a pure blossom
has been severed from their midst, and
see plainly the vacancy which a new
err be filled by one SO gentle, kind-heart
ed and noble, for ITO know her was to
love her.
A plant too pure for passing time;
A bud for sinful earth too fair;
Transported to a heavenly cline,
viii lloom endless beauty there.
Our Father called her; he had right,
To decorate the great white throne
With one more, spotless cherub-spirit
And claim our dear one for his own
Our darling in the silent tomb,
Is not confined by crumbling SOD
But goes before us to become
A cherub on the throne of God,
A most devot ed little friend.

Dear Douglas:
On the morning Of the 10th inst.
received a telegram from DR.. Minor,
which brought the sad intelligence that
your honored father was dead. This
was indeed a severe shock, for had
met him on the streets of Macon just
a week before apparently in the enjoy
ment Of his usual health and spirits,
He met me with his usual cordial
handshake, and the sunny smile which
lighted his c~ountenance assured me that
his heart furnished the motive power
for the warm grasp of the hand which
he gave me. | enjoyed the meeting,
which was only for a few minutes, very
much, and little thought that it was the
last time that would ever see him, In
his death his family has sustained the
deepest bereavement that can come
upon mortal man and |, as his sincere
friend, tender to them my heartfelt
sympathy in the great loss which has be-
fallen them

You thought of me, and am here,
A child whose likeness is divine,
And proud to know that l am thine.
How could you think OF everything
That might need except a wing?
I'm glad to know the reason why,
I'll want no wing until / die.
Your thoughtfulness YVES love to me;
It gave me eyes and I can see
The skill in every part displayed
So wonderful have all been made.
Thy goodness fills each cup Of joy;
In childhood's g dream, candy toy,
In boyhOOd sports, a top or gun,
While men both wealth and fame have
You gave me ears to hear the sound
That stirs the soul to depths profound,
Sweet melodies of sacred song
By which join the angel throng.

Can CAIN a storm, or raise squalJ,
Can serve to talk and sing and pray,
And taste the food eat each day.
The friends I've found, you gave me
too,
And some I've tried are good and
true,
To me they've been helping hand;
To serve, my wish, was their command.
Oh, Father Time, yet more you give,
IT'S faith and hope in heaven to live
A glimpse of lite, radiant shore,
Where loved ones NEE: to part NJ

A mind to think the truths you

A soul to live, by Jesus bought,
Communion sweet from day to day,
That from Thee may never stray.

How the South May Gain Her Lost
Prestige.

Gov. Charles B. Aycock. at Southern Educational
Association
Before the war between the States,
southern statesmen directed the poll
cies OF the nation and filled the largest
place in the eye OF the people. They
wrote few books, but their speeches IL
Illuminated every subject which they
touched and set the fashion of political
thought. In this day it is not too
much to say that what any Southern
man thinks of political, questions of
governmental duty carries no weight
in their final settlement. There must
be cause underlying this fact. What
is it? How shall it be remedied? Un-
til 1865 the Southern States, while in
form Democratic government, we're
in fact, an aristocracy and out of that
aristocracy they chose-as aristocrats
ever do-their best men for public SER
vice. The wisest, the strongest, the
most learned were ever to the 'front.'
were the natural leaders Of brave and
generous people who followed their
leadership with pride and pleasure.
With the close of the war thu Democ-
racy arose and each man became fac
tor in the government of his country.
Leadership was not so able or cultu. I'd.
More h,undars were committed and
more unwise views propagated and be-
lieved in. Aristocracy was always
trained. Democracy, if it is to be e!-
fective, must likewise be trained.
Universal education is, therefore, the
imperative and only remedy for our
loss of power in the nation.
