ON YOUNG'S ISLAND.

Yorng''s Island, S. G..

10rtnTIS lSlmd, >. G..
Edition Herald and News: Far from
tho "madding crowd,' on an island
surrounded by waiter and green marsh
en- every side, wo gaze on the white
crested waves, OH the many steamers,
launch boNts and wift-sailmg fish
ing craft that come so near the bluff,
tlrah we hear tllcir laugh of enjoy
ment at u well-tillcd boat of oysters
making for the cannery just above us
that is giving employment to many
poor people on the island.
The point of view is lovely at all
hours OH this isle, but especially in
the morning at sun rise, when the
great round orb of day seems to rise
from the w7ateG', and its reflection,
seen so bright and glorious like a
stream Of melted gold, make one
long for the soul Of an Mtist to depict
its glory on canvas. A surprising fact
is tlrat all vegetation here is frost
proof-ercat acres Of white cabbage,
ONIONS, bcets, md Il strange looking
vegetable, half cabhage and half tur-
nip. Cabbage plants by millions are
seen all oven the island. And as ONE
sits shive,ilrg from bleak winds, the
plantation is green as in mid-sum-
mer with us in upper Carolina, and
v~iolets, narcissus and spnillg flow
ers are in bloom. 7 am told the heavy
fogs prevent iarjmy from frost.
Tho islanders raise hul1dmeds Of
hogs, corn, POTATOES, peas, ground
nuts, fruits and bem1cs, while oys-
items aue plemteous and cheap, and
boats are constantly on the river to
supply families with fis}, and oys-
ters.
A spur track from Ravened to
Young's Island runs ito the dock or
landing place, with cars in which are
aoaded hundreds Of cabbage crates,
and millions Of plants are sent each
day Of the week during the busy sea-
son all ovcr South CurulMna and all
over the United Statcs.> At the
present time the Office forces awe
working until midnight to fill orders
from distant points. The life is an
ideal one for those who desire to
avoih politics and nll its ways that
are dark and trucks that are mean.
We get the News nd Courier, of
course, but no one seems to know
that the Columbia rStnte still lives.

which necessity drives him to take.

"The present outlook is for much
higher prices during the spring and
summer, and for that reason T fear
there will be a tendency on the part
of tine cotton grower to load himself
up again with debt for fertilizer
and supplies; and than, in order to
make provision to meet with this
debt, to load himself up with a big
cotton crop, which means a burden

"Get thee back to outer darkness

Then a missile sent I dashing where
the serpent's eyes we're flashing,
When I heard an awful crashing,
and a chill my heart ran o'cr;
For the demijohn was broken, and
upon my chamber floor
Flows the liquor evcrmore!
And the serpent in it floating, still is

On the busted jug Of liquor just

And the whiskey DER him stream

But my soul from out tina, iiquo,

Once upon a midnight drcary, when

Once upon a midnight dreary, when
my eyes grew rather bleary,
From my nearly empty bottle 7
another drink did pour;
While the solace I was drawing, and
again my heart was thawing,
Suddenly there came a gnawing
just outside my chamber door.
"'Tis a cursed mouse,' I muttered,
"gnawing at my chamber door.
Only this and nothing more"
Presently the gnaws grew stronger;
hcsitating then nc longer,
"Mnuse," said 7, "bclieve me,
your cessation I implore;
For the fact is T was drinking to
suspend this awful thinking,
And in slumber fast was sinking when
you reused me at the door;
Get you gone and LET me snore.'
Deep into the bottle pecring, long I
sat there wondering, fearing
That if + refillcd the bottle 7 would
get the snakes oncc more.
But the silence was nnbroken, and I
needed but II token,
And the only words there spoken
were the whispered words "Some
morc.'
These 7 whispered, and an echo mur-
INJURED back--''Bchind Tire door,
Fill the bottle there once morc.'

thing louder than before.

HELD BY oABRERA's SON.
Property in This Country Of thu
President of Guatemala.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 3.-Officers
Of the federal immigration service who
have been investigating records here have
made the interesting discovery that vast
property holdings of President Cabrera
Of Guatemala have been given the cloak
of American protection through Cabre-
ra's son, who was first naturalized in this
city, where he resides, and to whom has
been transferred. 1t is said, good share
Of the plantations and estates that make
up the Cabrera fortune.
Diego Estrada Cabrera was naturalixed
here In 1907. having resided here for some
years during his attendance at the uni
versity. While It is said that the course
taken is somewhat unusual. it Is believed
that In the event OF war, revolution or
pillage the United States would be obliged
to protect the Cabrera holdings.
