THE OLD swlMMIN, HOLE.

Oh! the old swimmin' hole! WHARF the
crick SO still and deep.
Looked like baby river that wa!
lynn half asleep,
And the gurgle of the worter round the
drift jest below
Sounded like the laugh of something
we onc't ust to know
Before we would remember anything
but the eyes
OF the angels lookin' out as we LEFT
Paradise;
But the merry days of youth is be
yond our control,
And it's hard to part forever with the
old swimmin' hole.
Oh! the old swimmln' hole! In the
happy days of yore,
When I ust to lean above it on the
old sickamore.
Oh! ii showed me a face in it's warm
sunny tide
That gazed back at me SO gay and
glorified,
1t made be love myself, as 1 leaped
to caress
My shadder smiling up at me with
sech tenderness.
But them days is past and gone, and
old Times tuck his toll
From the old man came back to the
old swimMnin' hole.
oh! the old swimmin' hole! In the
long, lazy days
When the hum-drum of school made
SO many runaways,
How pleasant was the journey down
the old dusty lane,
WHARF the tracks of our bare feet was
all printed so plain
You could tell by the dent of the heel
and the sole
They was lots of fun on hand at the
old swimmin hole.
But the lost joys is past! Let your
tears in sorrow roll.
Like the rain that ust to dapple up
the old swimmin' hole.
Thare the bullrushes growed, and the
cattails so tall,
And the sunshine and shadder fell over
1t all;
And 1t notified the worter with amber
and gold

And the snake feeders four guazy
wings fiuttered by
Like the ghost OF a daisy dropped out
OF the sky,
Or a wounded apple blossom in the
breeze's control
At 1t cut acrost some orchard lords

Oh! the old swimmin' hole! When /
last saw the place,
The scenes was all changed like the
change In my face;

A Century of q. o. o. F.U

The death of King Edward eclipsed
| ana caused to pass almost unnoticed
| the celebration in Great Britain of the
| Tooth anniversary of the founding of
the great organization commonly
known as the Odd Fellows. The Prince
of Wales, now King George, was to
have presided at the centenary ban
quet at Southampton thus manifest
ing continuation of the interest in the
| society which royalty notably showed
during Queen victoria's reign.
There is some doubt concerning the
casual date of the founding Of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows
Manchester Unity" with its motto of
Friendship, Love and Truth" Ger
talnly 1t, or a society OF similar name
existed much more than a hundred
years ago, since Defoe makes mention
OF Odd Fellows" 1t is also certain
however, that in 1910 two citizens of
manchester, Messrs. Naylor and Boil
ton, organized or reorganized the or
der and started 1t upon the career
which 1t has so successfully main
famed to the present time.
Mutual support, protection and
ADVICE" were the purposes for which
the various lodges were associated
from the beginning. In 1854 their
system of benefits was put on
scientific actuarial basis of graduated
tables, and this In turn furnished the
basis upon which in 1875 was franz
ed the general friendly societies act
OF Great Britain, which regulates all
mutual benefit organizations. At the
present time the order in the United
Kingdom has more than a million
members with an aggregate canitaI
OF more than $7,165, 900, and is by
Tar the greatest of all the friendly
societies. 1t is of course, a promin-
ent organization in the United States
and other lands
Ihis estimable order and a few 9TH
ers present a striking contrast to the
numerous pretentious organizations
which flourished for time a score Of
more of years ago. and then went ont

siderable deficit in the accounts Of
their. members. Their is no doubt
that friendly or mutual benefit So
ciety can be conducted profitabIv hu,
easy TO conduct one unprofltably. The
century-long record of the Odd Eel
lows Is highly creditable and the secret
Of Its credit lies largely in the fact
that 1t was established a hundred
years ago on the conservative princi-
pies which then prevailed. In these
later days of ''get rich ouiclx"

Twenty Negroes Released

Some 20 negroes, charged with gaming, were acquitted yesterday in the second division of the criminal courts where Judge w. E. Fort is this week hearing the non-jury cases. The evidence did not tend to show that the alleged offenses of gambling charged to the negroes were committed in public places. Most of the dens frequented by the negroes were houses in alleys, which, in the opinion of Judge Fort, are not public places. Only gaming in public places is mis- demeanor according to the law

OFFICERS HOT ON TRAIL
 OF TERRY'S MURDERER

The local sheriff's office was notihed yesterday that the negro, Isaac Glover, who killed Captain Terry at Spring vile Sunday morning, had been seen to board a train at Oneonta and was com ing toward Birmingham.
 Deputies Chew and Steele were at once sent to meet the train at Mt Pinson, and were prepared to capture the negro if he was on the train. When they boarded the train they went into the white coach and sent negro through the colored car to see if he could spot Glover. He was unsuccessful, and the deputies were baffled for the time ana returned to Birmingham
 They learned later that negro an- swering the description of Glover had been seen sitting beside the railroad track near Oneonta, and they now believe that the negro was never on the train. The authorities at Oneonta were notihed ano
