Just to Be Glad.

Oh! heart of mine, we shouldn't
wOrry,sO!
What we have missed of calm we
couldn't have, you know!
What we have met of stormy
pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
! We can better meet again,
If they blow.
We have erred in that dark hour,
we have known;
When the tears fell with the show
ers, all alone,
Were not shine and shadow blent
AS the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For we know not every sorrow can
be sad
So, forgetting all the sorrow we
have had,
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming
years
Just be glad.
- James Whitcomb Riley.

TAFT PICKS
POKER SHARK
Col. Thomas D. Murphy Postmaster
of Atlanta.

Washington, June9. When Pres
ident Taft nominated Colonel"
Thomas D. Murphy to be postmas-
ter at Augusta, Ca, he named the
champion poker player of the pres
ident's trip to Panama just before
his term began.
Colonel Murphy is a clever
rOunder and an Augusta newspa-
Der man, Because of these traits
he was invited to make the Pana-
I'M trip on which the president
started from Augusta.
Before Charleston was out of
sight, a poker game in which were
the newspaper men and the naval
officers, was organized. Colonel"
Murphy, to whom long-distance
travel was new, had directed his
wife to sew two 500 bills in his
waistcoat. In his pocket he carried
something less than $50. The first
night Mr.. Murphy who was modest
about getting into the game, won
most of the money. On the second
night this was also the final result.
On the second morning. out the
colonel confided to a friend that he
should drop out of the game" that
night. He felt that as a southern
gentleman it was not right to win
money from the officers of the
cruiser on which he was in some
respects a guest, he said.
The friend demurred and Mr..
Murphy continued to play. The
third morning out Mr.. Murphy was
found in secluded part of the YES
sci, very downcast. He had won
again. This continued until the
cruiser was anchored.
Out of his winnings Mr.. Murphy
paid his expenses, bought silk kimo-
nos for his wife and various other
presents, played poker on the way
home, won regretfully and came
back without disturbing the two big
bills sewed inside his waistcoat.
Now he will be a leader. He is a
Democrat and did not seek the
place.

Mrs. Terrill Died in Columbia.


Relatives in this city have receiv-
ed the sad news of the death of
Mrs. A. Wood Terrill which occurred
in Columbia yesterday. For some
time she had been sufferer from
chronic rheumatism and heart trou-
BILE. Death was the result of heart
failure.
While driving on Wednesday
morning the horse became frighten-
ed and there was an exciting runa-
way. When he was stopped and
the occupants began to get out of
the vehicle Mrs. Terrill did not
move. 1t was then found that she
was dead.
She was the widow of Prof A.
Wood Terrill who was the only
brother of Mrs. Mary Quayle of this
city. She was also a sister of the
late Mrs F. B. Thomas.
The surviving relatives are a son,
James Terrill, of Columbia, two sis
tiers, Mrs. Brummall of Columbia
and Mrs. Gilliland of Colorado; two
brothers, H. H. Wayland, of Ham,
mond, La, and Jim Wayland of
Salisbury. Also Lloyd Wayland
and Luther Thomas of this city are
nephews of the deceased.
Before her marriage Mrs. Terrill
taught in the Hardin College, Mex
leo. At this time the gentleman
who afterwards became her husband
was the college president. During
his lifetime their work was always
along educational lines. Until her
health failed she was one of the
ablest instructors in the Baptist
college at Columbia. She was
deep student with the rare faculty
of impartine her store of knowledge
to others. A lady of gracious per-
sonality and lover of humanity
her life work was in the field of in
tellectual development.
Those who knew her in her life
found her to be a fair minded, gra-
cious woman whose every influence
was on the side of right. But it
was in her home and among her
intimate friends that she was really
known and fully appreciated. She
was devoted wife and mother, a
true friend and an earnest christian
character. There will be many who
will sincerely mourn her death.
The funeral arrangements will
not be made until after her sister
arrives from Colorado. 1t is likely
| that the remains will be inferred il
the city cemetery at that place. -
Moberly Democrat.
Prof. and Mrs. Terrill conducted
the Institute of this city for severa
years and it was while a resident o
this city that Prof. A. Wood Terril
passed away. There are man!
friends and those who were student
under them that still live in thi
city that deeply regretted the sa,
news.

In Case Of Conflict.

One of the last amendments of
the Taft-Wickersham railroad bill
is that of Senator 0verman of North
Carolina, which is designed. to. eff
fectually lock the door against the
abuse in the meddling of certain
federal judges with the laws of the
states. This is not intended ex-
clusively for railroad corporations
nor is it inspired by them, but it
applies to all cases in which the
validity of state laws is challenged
in a federal court. Under this new
provision a proceeding by injunc-
ton to test a state law can be be-
gun only when granted by a justice
of the supreme court or CEcGit
court judge. When thus ni.,l;1i
the case can then be heard AM de
termined only by three judges oi

whom must be a supreme judge or

The Classification Of Rates.

IN this connection Il Director mas
issued to the census supervisors a de-
tailed statement of the classification
of rates adopted for the compensa-
ton of enu5nerators in the Thirteenth
Census, commencing April Is next.
There are three general rates-the
per capita, the mixed, and the per
diem.
The first anu second general rates
aave FIVE subdivisions each
The per diem rates range from IS
to $3.50, 81, $3.50. IS, $3.50, and Sc,
and are to be paid for a day of eight
hours work.
For enumerators on the per capita
basis, which will he that most widely
used, the pay for each inhabitant is;
Glass A, 2 cents; class b, 2h cents;
class c, 3 cents; class ID, 31a cents
and class E, 4 cents. Such enumera-
tors will also be paid for eacn farm
as follows: Glass L., 20 cents; class
B., 22k cents; class c, 25 cents; class
ID, 27h cents; and class E, 80 cents.
These rates are in each case 5 cents
more than those paid in 1900, when
the range was from Is to 20 cents.

industry the rate for each class is 30
cents. For each barn and inclosure

CENSUS ENUMERAToRs'
RATES OF SALARIES.

Washington, d.. c., Jan. 25.-The
varying wage scales in different parts
of the country and the differences in
the nature and extent of the local diff
iculties confronting the enumerators
in the larger geographical divisions
of the United States have Influenced
and guided United States Census Di
rector Durand in the adoption of a
classification of enumerators' rates of
compensation, within the limits pre-
scribed by the United States Census
law enacted by Congress.
The different classes of rates will
be SO applied that in general the av.
erage e~nuTnerator will earn substan-
TALLY the same actual amount in one
district as in another, even though the
population may be more sparse in the
M than in the other, with other o
ditions also different. Regard is paid
to the fact that prevailing wages n
salaries are higher in some parts of
the country han in others, but aside
from this, the Directors aim is to ad.
just the rates so as to make the a
nings OF enumerators substantially
uniform. Where the percapita rates
would not give sufficient pay the per
diem rates are prescribed. The rates
in general will be SO adjusted as 10
give a slightly higher average mount
of the entEnerators than they receiv-
in 1900.
Per diem rates of pay will be paid
to census e~nuRnerators in the sparsely
rural districts of Arizona, Cal
Colorado, Idaho, Montana.
Texas, Utah, Washington and WY.
The rate will range from IS to s.

raj areas outside of cities and towns.
