o'clock last night. He had been i'll for
several months.
One of the symptoms of Mr.. Craw-
ford's affection was fevers, which
tended greatly to weaken him. Prof.
Enrico di Renzi. director of the Am
erican clinic of the University of Ma
pies, was called into consultation at
the Villa Crawford some ten days ago
and found serious bronchial and
pleuretic complications. His illness
had its origin in an attack of influ-

Death came peacefully and while his
entire family was at the bedside. Mr..
Crawford's eldest son had arrived
hastily from London. Until yesterday
afternoon the patient retained con.
seriousness, but apparently he knew
that the end was near and with calm
ness he encouraged his family to bear
up and to cease weeping.

F. Marion Crawford, the Not
ed American Novelist, Died
In Italy After an Illness of
Long Duration.

LOnuOn, Apfll lU.-IuaTleS EASeT-
non. Charles Swinburne." the poet
died this morning of complication
of influenza and pneumonia He was
seventy-two years of age.
The famous English poet was born
in London, April s. 1887. He was the
son of Admiral Charles Henry Swim
burne, a member of an old North um-
brian family, and Jane Henrietta. a
daughter of the third earl of Ashburn-
ham, a woman of high culture who
exercised a marked influence on the
intellectual development of the poet
during his earliest years. From Eton
he went to Oxford University where
his time was chiefly given to the study
of Greek poetry, and in less degree OF
the literatures of France and Italy.
He wrote also for the Undergraduate
Papers. student publication and
seems to have produced a consider
able body of verse which, however, he
later characterised as worthless. He
left Oxford in 1860 without taking a
on the continent, visiting in Florence
and other places.
First Masterpiece. ..
In 1866 appeared his first and &C.
cording to many. his masterpiece AT.
Atlanta in Calydon," which was hailed
as giving promise Of q poetic genius
of the highest rank. In the Atalanta
tSwinburne displayed for the first
time that magical mastery, of metri
cal form in which, in all English lit
| erature, he is eQualled by Shelly ant
Milton alone. if by them.
The poems and ballads showed the
art of the author of The Atalanta a,
its best, but they sang of themes alb
horred by middle class Anglo Saxor
morality, in a manner undeniably
thorough. The animal side of sexua
passion was therein depicted with {
fervidness of tone and wealth of flesh
ly imagery which subjected the poe
| to the most virulent denunciation a.
q glorifier of pre-Christian morality.
| Swinburne's position in English lit
erature was to be assigned him ON hi
merits as master of verse form ant
poetic rhetoric. With no especial pro
fundity of thought. with no definit,
theory of life. with no deep insight o
the human character, he stands pre-
eminent as molder of exquisit,
melodies. 1t is his manner tha
should give him permanently higl
rank among English poets.

Union at Galveston, Texas, last Au-

reality it is the Ship Subsidy steal.

OPPOSED TO SHIP SUBSIDY.

Editor Co-Operator:- will under
take to write a few lines to let the
readers of your paper know what this
part of Montague county thinks of
this Merchant Marine business. The
secretary part of Montague coun-
ty union thinks that the Merchant
Marine under a ship subsidy is bad
thing for the farmers who have to
pay the subsidy. We object to be-
ing made to pay the State Steal Com
pany millions of dollars out of our
u. S. Treasury as subsidy for doing
our ocean-going business.
Maybe I had better explain what
| mean by the State Steal Company.
We just simply mean those that
steal from us directly or indirectly
through ship subsidy or any other
way, we mean the ship subsidy steal
er or any other kind of stealer. The
big exchange stealer steals our cot
ton and he is not the only one that
steals COCCOU ITOm us 0lCuSI. WO
could mention others who live closer
to us who are equally as guilty and
there are many other kinds of steal
ers. But this ship subsidy fellow is the
boldest stealer yet. They thought
that the infamous navigation laws
would forever fix the thing for them,
but they now find that they are beat
at their own game and they must have

To Our Florida Agents

Mr.. R. c. tombstone, of Ocala,
Fla, who has been for many years
manager of the Grew Levick Co., of
Philadelphia and Liverpool, England,
has accepted the appointment of
State Manager of The JeffersOnians
for Florida, and will have entire
charge of all subscription and circu-
lation work in that territory. We ask
our friends and agents to give Mr..
tombstone their active cooperation
We were very fortunate to secure
the services of such an able repre-
sentative of our interests, and we
feel that by the appointment of Mr..
tombstone in Florida, and Mr.. J. J.
Brown in Georgia, our circulation in
those States is now going upwards
by leaps and bounds.

rine law, but it is ship subsidy that
they want, no matter what they call
it.
They have gall enough to come
down here to our State union at Gal
weston and call it a Merchant Marine
and 'woolgather'' that convention
and get their endorsement to the in
famous thing. We believe that con-
vention was composed of honest, hon.
orable farmers, but they did not I'M
derstand this thing and allowed them
selves to be misled We don't be-
lieve that such schemers should be
allowed admittance into our conven-
ton, for they always have an axe to
grind. But I want to say right here
that the Farmers Union is beginning
to have some power and influence and
no one knows it better than the
schemer does, and when he wants
measure passed in Congress he gets
mighty friendly with the Union
ton State Union, and he is going to
continue to appear as long as he is
admitted and is as successful as he
was at the Galveston State Farmers
Union.
The secretary part of this county
union is opposed to letting Gem in
any more. Now, brethren, let us in
vestigate this ship subsidy or Mer-
chant Marine, as they call it, and see
if we are willing to pay millions of
our dollars out of the U. S. Treasury
just to have the Steal Company build
our ships and to have cold Glory
float over them" The secretary part
of the union is not. Hoping to hear
from others on this matter I am,
