The Lay of the Man

Let my lady grid my armor on, if she will:
let her put her favor on my helmet: let her
bring me the golden spurs, and buckle on my
sword that is all that she may do, save to
think of me when [ am gone.
Into the melee | will not let her ride: that
part is mine, alone. Her little white hands
were never meant to ~hew with battle-axe, or
hold the lance in rest. Her sweet voice was
never meant to shout the onset, or roar with
the rage of combat. Those tender arms were
never fashioned for the grim bear-hug of war.
Those dainty feet were never shaped to strike
spur to flank Of war-horse, or tread the wine
press of battle.
No, no: mime, NINE to take the soldiers
arduous task: mine, the scaling of beleaguer-
ed wall: mine to raise the battle cry and
press into the thick of the fight. AS I come
home on my shield, let my lady weep for me,
and cherish my memory: if NTH my shield,
let her pour balm into my wounds, and re-
ward me with her eyes and lips and arms.

ViCe-Pyesident Bodenhamey

When the Farmers Union leaders we're
urging me to accept the Presidency of the
National Farmers Cooperative and Educa-
tional Union, they told me that would have
to resign from the directorate of our local
State Bank. Greatly tempted to take advan-
tage of what seemed to be an opportunity to
do good work for the farmers, / actually
handed in my resignation. Further reflection
convinced me that my acceptance of the office
aforesaid would embarrass the Union, and I
finally said ''No," to the overtures.
But here is a pretty kettle Of fish they
allow Bodenhamer to remain, as one of the
Large likes at Union City, when he unites in
his own we'll groomed person the attributes
of a city printer and a country banzer-for
Bode is one of the Vice Presidents of Mr.
John D. Walkers bank at Union City.
Funny, isn't it? The Constitution of the
Farmers Union doesn't seem to amount to
much between such friends as Bode, Duck,
Lee and Ladson. Didn't John Lee have to
take a solemn oath to uphold the Constitu-
ton of his organization? Is he doing it,
when he allows city printer and bank officer
to continue to be member of the Union?
| wonder how much money Bode put into
that bank. In 1908, he certainly did not seem
to have any wherewith to start into the
money-lending business. Must have made
something out of the Percheron stud-horse.

A Little More of Little Ellis

Our amusing friend, w. T. Ellis is reso-
lutely determined to be seen, heard and
laughed at. Some folks are built just that
way. And when that is what they want, they
''most ingenerally" get it.
The United States Government brings me
the following letter from our Pennsylvania
Loud Racket:
Mr.. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Mr. Watson:-It takes long time ap-
parently, for the echoes of your trumpet to reach
this far North. Somebody has just sent me clip
ping from Macon newspaper, of the date of
January 80, containing your statements concern
ing the speech made at Macon on January 21st.
I am amazed at your persistence in that Siegal
SANDER In all frendliness, I want to advise you
to get hold of facts that will stand testing,
for I coming South again.
AS to the statement which you repeat and
dwell upon with fine scholarly eXactitude and re-
straint that have misrepresented the matter of
your book and my interview with Mr.. Bryan, [
wrote to you from Macon, as I got hold
of copy of your paper and learned of the mis-
take in date had made, freely admitting that it
was several years after your candidacy that I saw
Mr.. Bryan and mentioned the little book to him.
I sent you this letter for publication. I assume
that you published it.
I know way of ever getting to see copy Of
your Jeffersonian except by subscribing for it for
three months Nobody down South that I cor
respond with seems to be able to get hold of
copy. I have not seen an issue since was South,
although I have repeatedly written for it; SO
enclose fifty cents, which I trust will pay my sub
scriptiOn for three months. Then | shall, in my
idle moments, afford myself the diversion of fol-
lowing your utterances upon this missionary
question.
May I enclose, for your edfcation, copy of
editorial from the New York Independent and
another from this weeks Interior of Chicago?
Sincerely yours, VIM T. ELLIS.

that's all right, Ellis. There is no law "agin
it,, so far as know. If the missionaries can
stand it, I can. We can put up with lots,

ovation in the city which he sacked and

we thankfully listen to Fl. c. Fricl1, when the
Steel Trust magnate tells us, in effect, to work
more and talk less. So, co1ne along, Ellis;
and abuse Watson, again. 1t does the mis-
sionaries a world of good, and me no harm.

The next time Henry launched into Jour

1t was Clark who put me on to those new
rules of the Hoke Smith Committee, in the
spring of 1908. The country counties were
to be quietly put under the feet Of our big
cities, Just as the bosses of St. Louis and
Kansas City have reduced the country coun-

gel, who was ruined, and then choked to death
by her Chinese ''converts'
[ have the New York papers which pub
hshed all the facts, the day after her body
was found In the trunk. Her own family
stated that her father had strongly opposed
her answering ''the call'' to devote herself to
missionary work among the Chinese. Her
uncle had taken the same position But the
girls mother was as foolish as her daughter,
and the women had their way. Elsie went to
work 1nstructlng and converting young Chi
namen, who pretended to be interested in the
Christian religion in order to get the chance
to seduce the girl.
All the New York papers put her down as
one of the missionaries. None of the preach
ers who made statements denied that she was
a missionary DR.. McArthur's interview in
the New York World would be meaningless
If Elsie Siegel had not been missionary So
would the statements of Rev. Asa Blackburn,
and the other ministers. who spoke out, de-
mouaca1ag the system aohich had brought poor
Elsie to her ruin and tragic death.
When DR.. Paul Wakefield lectured in
Charlottesville, last June, his references to
the case of Elsie were based upon the fact
that she was missionary He declared that
1--WE missionaries" had long known of the
perils to the white girls which individual in
struction of Cinnamon involved; and, there

prised to learn Of Elsie Siegez's tragic fate"
Not until DR.. Taylor sent me marked re-
port of that awful admission, and I began to
use it against the fanatics, did they deny that
Elsie was a missionary The DENIAL IS as IN
famous as their conceaznaent Of the dangers
into aohjch they sent innocent, unaoa1med
ach5te girls.
And at least one disguised and despairing
missionary cOnfesses that there are Elsie Sc
gel cases an China. Who can doubt it?
Mrs. Florence Todd discussed the New
York girls case, and so did Miss Helen Clark:
neither denied that she owed her fall to her
mission work. Miss Clark spoke of the
ruined homes" that she had seen, all around
her, as the result of such mission work as
Elsie had been doing. She had not known of
murders like that, but of consequences NOR
ally as bad

The Legislature.

Chronicle Bureau, Columbia. S. C. Jan.
.9.-The South Carolina Legislature meets
this week.
First of all, and uppermost in the minds
of many. is the question of statewide pro-
hibition. This question, if it is decided at
all, will very likely be decided very quick
There is going to be a hot fight on the
compulsory education bill, which was car
ried over from the last session. There
will be strong supporters and lighters OF
this bill.
Talk of Clemson College will never cease.
There is going to be some discussion con-
corning it, and some changes.
The Legislature will meet on Tuesday,
and the message Of Governor AnSel will be
sent in.
1t is believed that an attempt will be
made to repeal the repeal of the lien law.
OF course this is going to cause. a:big fuss,
because there are many who think that
the adjustment of the lien law is an OK
cellent thing.
State Superintendent of Education
.S~wearingen, in view of the fact that $780,
900 has done the weak schools of the state
so much good, will ask the solons for the
.snm of 500, 900. Whether he will get that
amount or not can not be fOrecaStcd, as
the financial end of a Legislature is Il very
uncertain problem.
Comptroller General Jones wants tax re-
forms, and will reccomend Il tax commits
sion, to be composed of five members, to
take the place of the state board of asses
sors. Commissioner Watson is going to
fight for a food inspector and a highway
engineer.
Attorney General Lyon will reccomend
that a permanent Injunction law he passed
that is to enjoin the individual and not any
place of business.
Both houses have been set in order for
the reception of the senators and lcgiSla-
tors. Everything is as neat as a pin. and
Columbia is waiting for the lawmakers.
