dover;
So long we've waited, yet SO short
a while,
Our eyes forever on the shadowy
hand
That nearer brought the parting OF
our band
This chapter in our book of life is
DER,
AS schoolgirls leave the convent
walls for aye.
The page is turned and sealed for.
evermore.
Upon an unmarked leaf we start to-
day
To prove ideals, cherished long, we
The untried world to meet as friend
or foe.
We stand the futures yelled arch be-
fore,
With eye alert to pierce the dim
unknown;
Disconsolate the vision We implore
OF garnered sheaves before the seed
is sown;
For, blinded to the blessings of today,
Tomorrow's treasures only do we
pray.
If we could sleep and dream a dream
of years,
And angel hands the curtains wide
should draw.
We'd gain no hopes to palliate our
fears,
But would behold a sight of wond-
'rous awe;
Enscrolled across the sky in words of
flame:
upon myself. alone, depends thy
fame"
And so within ourselves we feel the
thrill
OF latent powers all unknown till
now
We anxious press our life work to
fulfill,
The teeming annals of the world en-
dow,
For bright or sad we all shall play a
role,
And in that playing each must prove
her soul.
AS Jacob, slumb'ring, saw the stairs
uprise,
A multi-tinted light to heavens
gate,
So rung by rung a ladder to the skies
May builded be from direst gifts of
fate;
The hardships will uplift the plane of
life
And aid to prove our worth through
toilsome strife.
When earth her deepest treasures
doth unfold,
What wealth awaits the workers
magic art!
For oft the common clay's transformed
to gold,
And black ore crushed displays a
diamond heart.
But stones there are that stones must
ever stand,
And soil that nothing yields to
labor's hand.
So, too, our souls within some powers
hold
More plastic far than aught the
earth enspheres.
To each the gift is given to mar or
mold.
And fortify each one throughout the
years;
And time alone shall tell and shall dis
play
If we the metal prove or prove the
clay.
Dear mother, sisters loved, before we
part,
Before our lips have murmured our
farewell,
We'd couch in words the secrets of
the heart,
And all our love and gratitude would
tell.
The future will our loyalty attest;
In word and deed twill ever stand
confessed.
Throughout our lives we ask thy low
ing prayer,
That when realities invade nor
cease
To storm our filmy castles of the air,
AS fragile as a clouds unstable
fleece,
We may not, when the structures fall
we've built,
Discard the gold while mourning for

THREE LYNcH1NGs LAST YEAR
Two Negroes Were Hanged Near
Smoaks and One disappeared -
in Lexington.

Columbia, Jan. 1O.-The report
of the compilation Of lynchlngs dur
ing the year, sent out from WASH
ington, appeared to have done South
Carolina an injustice. Three lynch
ings were given. The Governor did
not recall any at first, but it appears
that the report is correct, for two
men were lynched near Smoak's IN
June, as stated in the compilation.
The negro Elost in the woods
near Lexington should not have been
counted in the list. However, he
was believed to have been lynched.
Once before a story was sent out
from Chicago saying that there we're
lynchings in this State when during
that year there had not been any.
Except for the two named above
there have been only three lynchings
during Governor Ansel's administra-
tion.

How Pat Counted Them.

Racial pride is kind of patriot
ism that lasts as long as any sentl-
ment. The story is told Of a stran-
GER in Milwaukee, who, seeing an
Irishman at work in the street, asked
him what was the population Of the
town!
"Oh. about forty thousand,' was
the reply.
"Forty thousand! It must GER
tainlv have more than that,' said
the visitor.
"Well," said the Irishman, "it
wud be about 275.O0 if We were to
count the Dutch. .''-Youth's Com

that the board had already bought a
lot in Martin street and had let the
contract. Well, I'm not mind read

another lot. But it is all right with
me. Nv onlv interest in the graded

council will now pass some thou

".thou shalt keep thy premises and
the sidewalk in front thereof clean
and in good order.'' ''Thou shalt
find a new wagon yard'' so that the
public square around the old court
house, at least on the east side,
might be made into a little park.
'''Thou shalt permanently improve
the streets and sidewalks' so that
the work will not have to be done
over after each April shower. "The

at 9 o'clock and every minor shall
