formation is obtained. In the mean
while an advertisement will be insert

TO w. S. GRAHAM.

Heroic, fearless, calm and true was
he,
The gallant chief of Delgar, Number
Three,
When tolled the deep-toned bell at
noon or night,
With unabated strength, and honor
bright,
Obedient always was he to its call
To sersxe his fellow-men-forgetting
But others welfare-lost to self, in
thought
# saving those for whom he bravely
fought.
G'ne fames, with muscle, nerve and
grip OF steel
ne e6ies Of Number Three, the Del
gar Reel.
And when, in mortal agcnies, he lay,
While from his wounds, his young life
ebbed away,
a new alarm was heard, his glazing
eyes
Were frightened, as he. seemed Is
recognize
The sound; but in his throat, TIE
feeble breath
Which uttered orders once, was hush
ed in death:
That call was answered only by his
men;
There came to him higher summons
then;
And as the culing smoke began to
rise,
His soul went up to God in sacrifice.
The brave, courageous youth no
more shall be
The dauntless chief Of Delgar, Num-
Der Three;
The roar of engine wheels, the clang-
ing gong,
The tread of horses, galloping along
On cobble-stones, beneath whose
shoes, steel-toed,
The sparks are struck, their mission
to forebode;
Shall ne'er disturb his calm and
peaceful sleep;
But in their hearts, enshrined, his
friends shall keep
His name and fame as martyr to
their veal
The chief of Number, Three. the Del
gar Reel.

quors needed can oe obtained frozn

the best prices can be obtained.
AS the local dispensary started ont
Saturday with only $1,000 worth of

Senator Iatlmer Starred MONDAY as
a Filibusterer and Saved the
Day.
Washington, March 4.-Senator
Latimer killed a bill today. 1t was
in the Sam Lee case, which continues
to bob up. Sam Lee was the negro
from Sumter who some 20 years ago
contested the election of Representa-
tive Richardson Of the seventh con-
gressional district.
He was never elected. He was new
er seated, but a partizan house once
voted at the close Of the session that
he was entitled to his seat. Today
Senator McCumber moved to pay the
heirs of Sam Lee $4,000 for a ser
vice which Sam Lee never performed
and, of course, which he was never
entitled to receive. The bill, howev-
er. passed the house at the last ses-
sion against the unanimous opposi-
.ion of the Democrats.
Senator Latimer blocked it in the
senate by beginning filibuster. Sc
enrirg the floor on the McCumber
not: IN. just three-quarters Of an
s..ur during the close Of the session,
senator Latimer proceeded to read a
ap.nber of speeches, which it would
have taken him something like two
hours to read. Senator McCumber
realized that Senator La-imer could
continue till the session expired and
withdrew his motion.-The State.
