Obituary..

1t is appointed unto man once to
die, and after death the Judgment
So death has passed upon all. men
for all have sinned While we know
that death Is the inevitable; how
hard it is for us to be fully reconcilea
to 1t, especially when its ruthless
hand is laid on those near and dear
to us. The death of the aged Is very
affecting, and the departure Of the
young and middle aged Is even more
80. The subject Of this sketch, Ear
nest L. Reed, departed this life We'd
nesday, Nov. 9, 1910, after an ill.,
ness Of not more than three days.
Age, twenty-seven years and eight
months. Born and reared near Nor
way, but had been a resident Of Sa-
yannah, Ca, for several years, and
was employed as trainman by the
Seaboard Air Line. He was a mem
ber of the Brotherhood Of Railway
Tra!nmen, No. I21, delegation from
which escorted his remains from Sa-
vannah to Norway. He was burle /
in the Bethel cemetery in the pres
enco Of relatives and many sympa-
thizers. The Rev. w. H. Simpson c;
Norway conducted the burial service.
He leaves his mother, Mrs. Gertrude
Reed, Of Norway, four brothers, Ray
mond. Marion and Fred Of Norway,
and H. s. Reed of Savannah. Also
one sister. Mrs. Eulie Williams, Of
Norway. Great indeed must have
been the shock to his dear mother,
not knowing just what his condition
was until she knocked at the door OF
tie Park View hospital and was told
ina. her boy had died "only fifteen
minutes ago Not my son." said
she, that must be some other boy

Hurting Their Cause.

The resort to physical force by
some of the English sufPrngettes will
scarcely commend them or their
cause to law abiding and reasonable
people. Smashing hats over the
heads of elderly men and kickin:
their shins so that the victims are
compelled to take to their beds sa-
vors more of the actions of the pet
roleuse Of the French Commune than
of supposedly staid British matronS.
II the women addicted to such out
RACES we're of the so-called lower
classes the wonder would not be so
great, but they are for the most part
Of the fashionable class and that
class poses as the embodiment of re-
finement and courtesy. 1t goes to
show that when people pass the
bound Of reason in their advocacy OF
a cause. however good that cause may
be, they bring discredit upon them
selves, and injure the cause they
would help. The question naturally
arises are such women qualified for
the ballot? They are not. and un-
less they change their tactics it will
be long time before they will he

Treat All Alike.

Every now and again some Of the
large city dailies poke fun at the
country press for their Town Talk,
or Social Happenings" columns.
Doubtless some Of the items that GO
into those columns are insignificant
and puerile, but in what respect are
the city dailies any better? Where
any difference exists It Is usually IN
favor Of the country papers. for with
them there Is less Of caste and snob-
bishness. They insert items concern
Ing people in every walk OF life and
therefore are democratic in their at
$itude.

Pass Them Along.

The Charlotte. Chronice tells of
how the. associated charities in that
place exposed two fakirs. They. were
from across the water and claimed t.
be collecting money for some or
phanage In Asia, carrying letters
from the mayors Of many cities
showing they were missionaries. The
organization in Charlotte concluded
to investigate them ,and soon ascer-
tanned that they were frauds. They
had collected about $1,000 In this
country, 500 Of which had been
spent In riding around over. the coun.
try. while they had about $500 on
their persons. The letters they had
were base forgeries. We do not know
whether these men were in Oran ze-
burg or not, but we do know that
men answering their description were
here. People cannot be too careful
in handing out money to strangers,
no matter under what guise they
may be travelling.

MY. HOUSE BESIDE THE ROAD

MY HOUSE BESIDE THE ROAD
Homer's Ideal-"He was q friend te
man, and lived In house by the
side of the road"
There are hermit souls that live
wi hdrawn
In the place OF their selfish con.
tent;
There are souls like stars, that dwell
apart
In fellowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never ran;
But let me live by the side Of the
road.
And be a friend to man.
LET me live in my house by the side
of the road,
Where the race OF men go by;
The men that are good and the mon
that are bad,
AS good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in house by the aide OF
the road,
And be friend to man.
4 see from my house by the side ol
the road,
BY the si1e Of the highway Of life
The men who press with the ardol
Of hope,
The men who faint with the strife
But I turn not away from their
smiles or their tears,
Both parts OF an infinite plan;
Let ME live in my house by the side
Of the road,
And be a friend to man.
II know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead,
And mountains Of wearisome
height,
And the road passes through the
long afternoon,
And stretches away to the night
But still rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers tha,
moan,
Nor live In my house by the side ol
the road,
Like man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side
Of the road,
Where the race Of men 60 by;
They are good; they are bad; they
are weak; they are strong;
Wise, foolish, and so am |.
Then why should I sit in the scorn-
er's sea-.
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side
OF the road,
And he friend Tn man

,S;nder tho head Of police commit

9ossh some heated remarks. Chair
nan Weeks said that he had been
approached by Judge Brunson who
stated that one of his houses had
been broken into by some OF the po-
4acesaon on last Saturday night, and
the nouse damaged, and that one
Alco Harrison, had been unjustly ar
oeste6, and her bail Of $40 had been
sosfeited.
1t was also stated that the woman

atatsd that he had Investigated the

OF the officer, who made the arrest,
there was no disturbance at this
H,slse 1T all. He said that he had

occasion, there was no call for an ar
rest. as the house was In quiet, un-
I'll the officers arrived. On this
