LAST OF THE DAVIS LINE.

With the death of Mrs. Margaret
Davis Hayes, eldest child of the late
President of the Southern Confede-
racy, the Davis line is broken and
the family in reality becomes extinct.
Mrs. Hayes died at her home in
Colorado Springs, Sunday evening
last, her gentle spirit sinking to
eternal rest with the close of the
Sabbath day, her death resulting
from a complication of diseases.
Mrs. Hayes was a woman of strong
character, of well-cultured mind, OF
sweet disposition, gracious manners,
genial and gentle as a child, and
was much beloved by a large circle
of friends.
1t is sad to chronicle the death of
the last of this illustrious family,
one that reflected so much honor on
our State, and to see it pass into the
realms of the past, for though the
nephew of the distinguished soldier,
statesman and citizen bears his
name, he is not in reality a Davis,
wearing the name only by act of the
Colorado Legislature.
The South will be filled with
mourning when it hears that the
last of the Davis family has gone to
that dreamless sleep that knows no
waking until eternity.

JOURNALISM Is SEPARATE FROM
LITERATURE.
FROM

Journalism has often been called
literature in. haste. From this 1t
would be inferred that journalism is
hastily, and therefore imperfectly-
done. There is an element in this
that is true. Some small portions
that appear in the newspapers have
a literary value, while also much
that is classed as literature is very
poor in journalistic quality. Jour
nalism bears the marks of haste.
The editor has not the time to
touch it with art. The voluminous
mass of matter required to fill the
sheets precludes the possibility of
delicate finish. Such a m%ontrosity
of output will work it's own reaction,
and thus the quality of what is
journalistically composed will not
be able to approach nearer to a lit
erary quality. Quality of compost
ton varys inversely with the guam
tity; for the greater the bulk, the
less it's value. There is another
constituent feature that distinguish
es literature from the usual proper
ties of journalism. Literature deals
with that which is permanent, while
journalism is a kind of quick, fun
gus growth that draws its nourish-
ment from the instant and transient.
It is not often that we encounter in
a newspaper any article that we
care to cut out and perserve for more
complete digestion or for future use
or reference. Journalism is, in its
behavior, like the honey bee, (which
fits from flower to flower and sucks
the sweet from blossoms which by
tomorrow will have shed their pet
ais

Tho Startling Vision That Saved the

The following dream story Is told in
"The Story of My Life" by Augustus
1. @. Hare. The story was told to Mr..
Hare In Rome in 1870:
Lady Vernon dreamed that she saw

and a candle In the other, crossing the
entrance hall, and she awoke with
great start. After awhile she COM
dreamed-she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with knife In one hand
and candle in the other. on the mid
die OF the staircase, and she awoke
with great shock. She got up. She
thought she could not be quite well,
and she took little sal volatile. At
last she fell asleep again, and she
dreamed7-she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with n knife in one hand
and a candle in the other. standing at
her bedroom door, and she awoke I'm n
great terror, and she jumped out Of
bed, and she said, iii have an end Of
this; I'll have an end of these foolish
lmnginations." And she rushed to the
door, and she threw the door wide
open. And there Mt the door stood the
butler, with a knife In one hand and
candle In the other. And when he
suddenly saw Lady Vernon In her
white nightdress, with her hair stream
ing down her back. he was so dread
fully frightened that he dropped the
candle on the floor and rushed off
down the staircase and off to the sta
bles. where there was n horse ready
saddled and bridlcd, on which he
meant TO have ridden away when he
had murdered Lady Vernon. And he
rode away without having murdered
her at all, and he was never heard Of
again.

PLEA OF A sov svccsssrul.


An unusual guest was entertained at
Georgia's executive mansion few
days ago, when Johnny Atkins a l2-
year-old boy who had been an en-
forced visitor In the State Reforra-
tory at Milledgeville, Ca, slept In the
big white bed until morning would
bring him freedom.
Johnny had gone home with Gov.
Hoke Smith, who told him there
would be no more days In the Re-
formatory for him. And now he Is
at school again, this time In one of
Georgia's best chronological institu-
tlons, where he will have a chance
TO make good"
Johnny Atkins had been running
with bad boys. They read nickel
novels behind the barn and smoked
cigarettes in the alleys. He had rela-
tives but they had much work TO do
and did not keep trace OF Johnny.
So when the boys broke in a grocery
one night two years ago and Johnny
was caught, he was sent to the Re-
formatory.
But Gov. Smith at the close or his
term has made personal and unex-
pected tour OF the prison and Reform
atory TO see what he could see, and
his visit resulted in score of par
dons. Such interest from a retiring
official Is unprecendent In this state.
The Governor found Johnny at the
Reformatory and talked to him.
THERE good to me here" said
Johnny, but | want to go home or
somewhere where | can have one
more chanst. I'll try to be good, now"
You'll come home with me now"
said Gov. Smith, "and stay with me
| N the mansion. Then we'll see about
your future"
Mrs. Bethune, the wife OF the SUI
perintenGent cried a bit when Johnny
went away.
"He was just like my baby" she
cried I'VE all loved him here. But I'm
glad he has found a friend who can
help him up"
! so Johnny came home on the train
With the Governor, and the Cover
nors wife kissed him when he climbed
.he big stone steps. And Johnny
slept that night in the pink room.
where many good men and great have
slumbered as the guests of Georgia
governors. But none had a more cor
dial welcome nor bigger appetite for
breakfast than little Johnny Atkins.
