Obituary..

A loving tribute to the memo
ory of my dear daughter, Bessie
Mildred McCutchen, born March
26, 1890: died May 7, 1906.
One sad, sad long year today!
Oh! how we miss her,
Frien IS may think the wound is healed
But there is none who knows the
sorrow,
Deep within my heart concealed.
How l miss you, dearest Bessie,
Never will your memory fade,
Tho other loved ones are around me,
MY heart mourns for you still.
Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given and glows;
Once more with angel steps,
The path that leads to heaven.
Our young and gentle child,
Whose smile brightend summer hours,
Amid the dews Of sPringtime,
Has left US like the flowers.
The light OF her young life went down
AS sinks behind the hill,
The glory ola setting star,
clear, suddenly and still.
Fold her in thine arms dear Father,
And let her henceforta be,
A messenger Of love between
Our human hearts ard Thee.

SCHOOL OPENED MARRlAGE--THE
CROSS-TIE BUSISESS-REUNI0N AFT.
ERMATH-PfRS0NAL MENTION.

LAKE CITY, April 14:-Mrs D

Charleston TUESDAY last on a
visit Of several weeks to rela-
tiveS.
Mr. Arthur L Jones went to
Asheville, n c.. last week for
his health,
Miss Sue Shaw OF Charleston
opened school Monday which
will be carried on during the
Summer, filling in the gap be-.
tween terms of the regular
school. The opening was at.
tended by goodly number of
pupils and the prospects for a
full school are bright.
Miss Annie Rook, of our town,
one of the teachers in the john
sonville school, is very i'll at
the last named place. Rev and
Mrs Rook, her parents, are
with her.
Miss Hattie Lee, daughter of
Mr. Jack Lee, of Florence coun'
ty, and Mr. Fred McClam were
married on the 18th instant by
Rev B j Truluck at the latter's
residence, near Bethel church.
Mr. WFL Steele vent to the
"Independent Republic of Hor.
ry" Monday morning.
MrJ M Sturgeon spent Sun
day in Florence.
The cross.tie business here
shows very little diminution
Notwithstanding crops are now
pressing for attention. And
the business is of considerable
mag 1ltude. At a rough esti'
mate We suppose it amounts to
something like two thousand a
month. This means in the
neighborhood of seven hundred
dollars.
These annual reunions bring
together veterans of the most
incongruous types. There are
the true Confederate soldiers
the finest soldiers the world
has ever seen-men whom we
all honor. Then there are the
ragtags, the skulkers, the COW
ardly louts. And itseems that
these last named are forging tc
the front of attention more and
more each year. They are the
ones who drink the most beer
do the most Dragging and mo-
nopolize the lying. And what
thrilling tales of prowess some
of them tell! The stealing of a
shoat is transformed into the
capture of a regiment single
handed. And these same lousy,
lying pukes, unless killed off
will eventually ruin the gather
ings which ought to be all that
the name implies.

Compulsory Education.

The Columbia States eultOrlal,
ga Voice from Connecticut" pre-
sumably intending it as an argument
for compulsory education. cites an
illustration that is very damag-
ing to the cause it advocates.
Hear it:
"An illuminated (illuminating:)
object lesson of the value of lit
eracy as a material developer and
as an individual elevator is given
in the fact recited by our cor
respondent, "a man raised in Con-
nectieut but now a resident OF
Rowesville, S c. that none OF
the children of the Irish that
came to Connecticut half cen
tury ago are hewers of wood and
drawers of water. Their uneIu-
Gated parents performed manual
labor; they could do nothing else.
But the children and grand
children. having taken advantage
of the common school education
that was forced upon them by
the State, have taken higher
stand in the industrial world.
The drudgery of the State, the
toilers with their hands, the men
with the hoe, are the more recent
arrivals from Europe that yet
wear the yoke of ignorance"
That's it exactly. In the South
We haven't many of the recent
arrivals from Europe to emanc!.
pate from the plough and the hoe
by striking eff their shackles with
the sword of learning. But We
have a different class of labor
that is simply ruiaed by tie sub
gelsive doctrine Of the Columbia
State.
Our contemporary proudly EN-.
phasizes the fact that the de-
s.ndants of the Irish in Con-
necticut-thanks to compulsory ed
ucation-are relieved of the drudge.
ry that their fore parents had TO
endure. Truly an attractive argu-
ment! Why should these menial
tasks provoke such scorn? Where
is the indignity of labor:
Honor and shame from no condi'
tion rise;
Act we'll your part, there all the
honor lies"
In our estimation a negro that
can plow q straight furrow OF
hoe a row of cotton clear of grass
is better citizen than one who
can forge a white mans name to
bank check, the latter of which
is one Of tie very tangible fruits
of compulsory education.
Speaking of drudgery work,
Jack London, the writer, makes
u pretty good point IN a recent
magazine article. At one time in
his life he wandered about as d
tramp. He approached preten-
tious residence and asked for 4
meal. The pompous individual
who responded to his rap inquir-
ed why he didu't go to work.
London put up the story that he

three days stay in the city they saw
the old Maine in the harbor, several
American varships and u. S. troops
embarking for the south of the island
to SUPPRESS, an insurrection. They
visited the l5- S. army camp just out

at the wonders that Gen. Wood and
his men have worked in regard to the
cleansing of Havana, and making it
one of the healthiest and prettiest
cities in the world. Prof. Davis
said that if the Americans ware as

island that they could make a for

The party left here with overcoats
but when they reached the island
the coats were shed and straw hats
would have been welcome. On the
way home they passed through the
orange groves and they were found
to be either totally destroyed or the
fruit frozen to such an extent that
they could not be shipped. The

Mr.. Davis drifted into politics in
telling of his trip and said that Sec

that nearly all the negroes in the
South were in favor of the action
Of the president in the recent
