Ancient Prediction.

(Entitled by popular tradition
Mother shipton's Prophecy" Pub
lished in 144S, repqblished in 1641.)
Carriages without horses shall 90,
And accidents fill the world with woe
Around the earth thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling Of an eye.
The world upside-down shall be,
And gold be found at the root Ct q
tree.
Through hills men shall ride
And no horse be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black and green.
Iron in the water shall float
AS easily as a wooden boat,
God shall be found and shown
In land that's now not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a foe.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one

Wesleyan college, Macon, Ca, will de-
liver a-series of addresses on this oc-
casion.
DR.. Ainsworth stands at the very
pinnacle of his profession, and isl
quite celebrity in school and church
work. DR.. Horace NJ. DuBose, gen.
eral secretary of the Epworth league
board and editor Of the Epworth Era,
| will deliver a number Of addresses.
! DR.. DuBose needs no introduction to
South Carolina leaguers, as he has
addressed league conferences in the
State on several occasions. He is one
Of the few scholars Of the Southern
Methodist church. The Rev. G.. G..
Hounshell, missionary to Korea, will
also be present and enthuse the mis-
sionary spirit as never before. Prof

! day evening, June 16, at $780, o'clock,

between this snake and the Old high

any other snake, but as before stated,

Jessie Mae Hunt was born August
3, 1908, and departed this life May 21,
1910, making her short earthly So
iourn one year, nine months and Is
days. She leaves devoted father
and mother, and many relatives and
friends to mourn her departure:
Another little lamb has gone, :.
To dwell with Him who gave,
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst His shiny band,
And so He bent with loving smile,
And csasped little Jessie's hand.
And now, dear parents, the only
consolation that is vouchsafed you Is
the sweet realization of the fact that
your precious babe is at peace. The
one upon whom you have lavished
your affection is now in that land
"wbsre the weary are at rest. And
the. poor little framezwill never more
be racked with the agonies Of pain,
and suffering is at an end. Just think
twill only be little while until we
ell will cross the dark river and join
our loved ones among the hosts Of
the saved on the other shore.

IS n. Y. SOLONs FIGURE IN
INSURANCE AND TROLLEYs
Seven Received Money From
the Head of Street Rail-
way Association

NEW YORK, April 7.-As the result of
the latest turn which State Insurance
superintendent Hotchkiss has given to
his investigation of fire insurance scan
dals here. he has disclosed that 10 men,
Republican assemblymen and senator's in
the state legislature between 1890 and
1904, had stock accounts with the broker
age house OF EIlingwood g. Cunning
ham, and that seven of these men re.
ceived large sums of money from G..
Tracy Rogers, a special partner of that
firm. Superintendent Hotchkiss charges
that the books of the brokerage firm,
which failed in 1904, will shed much light
on the acceleration of certain insurance
legislation.
George Tracy Rogers. thus brought
prominently into the investigation, is a
we'll known traction man, being presi-
dent of eight corporations and director
in fve more, according to the last edi-
ton of the Directory of Directors.
HEADS TROLLEY MEN.
He is also president of the Street Rail-
way association of the state of New
York. His name came up some time ago
during the investigation of the INTERIOR
ough- Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pdny Dy JnS STATE puDllC SeTNlCe CoIIliilS-
sion. Lemuel Z. Quigg, "accelerator of
public opinion" testified at that time that
Rogers was the legislative agent in AL
bany of all the street railways in the
state.
Superintendent Hotchkiss was quoted
as declaring The is not sure that six Of
the 10 legislators who received money
through the firm got it for their votes in
aid of the traction interests" he says
that he feels confident that the evidence
in his hands will leave no doubt as to
the other seven. The names of the 13
legislators are still unrevealed-with one
exception.
Louis Bedell, OF Newburgh, n. T., a
former member of the state assembly, is
shown on the brokerage FIRMS books as
a considerable customer, and he is one
OF those who received sums of money
from Rogers, according to the evidence.
Bedell was chairman of the railroads
committee in 1901 and 1902. The late f.
II. Hartman made a contribution of
$4,000 annually to the Republican COM
nlittee OF Mr.. Bedell's district as long as
Bedell was in the assembly.
