"A TRIBUTE OF LOVE.
In Memory Of Mrs Anna Jourdan

They never quite leave us, our
friends who have passed
through the shadows of death
& TO the sunlight above,
a thousand sweet memories are
holding them fast
To the place they blessed with
their presence and love.
The work which they left and the
books which they read
Speak mutely, though with an
eloquence rare,
And the songs that they sung, the
dear words that they said,
Yet linger and sigh in the des-
olate air.
We too, will go home over the
river of rest,
As the strong and the lovely
before us have gone,
Our sun will go down in the
beautiful west,
To rise in the glory that en-
circles the throne.
They have passed beyond sight
at the touching of death,
But they live like ourselves,
in Gods infinite care

Agricultural High Schools

We have been Investigating what
the a ii S have done in those
counties where they have been es-
tablished. So far we find that
they have done great work. The
free school, the A H S then the A
s& M, the I | & c. the University.
Suppose your boy does not attend
amy of these higher schools. He
Can get a high school education
from the A H S and at cost that
any real live boy or girl can meet.
The cost in the Olive Branch and
Kossuth schools is about $4,000
per session of ten months. This
can be reduced if.,a boy-is willing
to work. Some of Gooch's and
Anderson's boys and girls are
paying only $2.O0per monty. No
doubt Congress will pass bill at
its next session giving aid to these
schools. on the ground that they
are necessity to better farming.
How much better use this would
be than to spend it dredging some
mud hole or creek in Maine or
Mass. The boys corn clubs have
demonstrated what can be done
n that line and school of that
ind would be of vastly more ben
't t'lan many corn clubs. With
..elp from the National Govern
ment and the state, it looks al
most criminal to me to miss the
chance of an A H S in our county.
Remember that we pay our part
of the tax whether we have the
school or not. We are going to
give soon some of the monthly re-
ports from these schools. This
wiz show what they will mean to

blanc when they reject a good

Obituary

OF flittle Beulah Maye Wood aged
6 years, 6 months and Is days.
The death angel visited our home
and took from us our sweet little
Beulah. She is dead to us but
alive in heaven. She was sweet
obedient child and our home is
saddened but the Bible has prom
ised us that we can live with her
again some day. We all feel
heart broken with grief. 1t was
50 hard to say farewell to her
when we laid her in the Lindsey
cemetery but dear children we
must grieve not as those who have
no hope. Our pastor, A T Whit
ten conducted the burial services
and then they sung those sweet
songs, No Not One." and What
A Friend We Have In Jesus" and
then placed the little casket in the
cold icy grave, to wait till the
sweet coming of our Savior when
we can strike hands with our
sweet little blue eyed Beulah.
Dear Beulah thou art gone to rest
To mingle with the dead;
Thy spirit dwells among the blest
Where tears are never shed.
No more we meet her here below
And join in words of love.
No more her words we shall hear
Till we shall meet her above.
In the sweet land of pure delight
Thy little happy spirit moves;
Mid scenes of joy land, heavenly
light,
Where all is joy, peace and love
Her Mother.

LESSON OF GRAFT HERE.


London Cor. New York Times.
The Standard. in an editorial article
ON the New York police scandals,
says:
"Iniquity taking less melodra-
matte form than assassination by
hired bravoes fiourishes rankly under
the forms of law. The abOminable
white slave traffic Is .connved at and
even actively assisted by policemen
greedy for graft.
=" Mrs. Warrens Profession is no
mere creation of fancy. In New York
people OF wealth and subsistence, draw
Ing large revenues from the degrada-
ton OF humanity. by immunity from
the people whose business it is to ex-
tirpate such centres of corruption. and
there can be little doubt that the DO
lice system or New York is saturated
with venality and tanned with crime.
~'All the scandals OF American pub
Vic life come from ore taproot-the
degradation Of politics. In the United
States. with the estipendary politician
omnipotent In the Legislature and the
party hack monopolizing the judicial

ernment OF the people, for the people,
by the people. resolves itself into a
saualid struggle for graft. Carlyle
called it anarchy plus a police con-
stable Now even the police consta-
bic fails in his duty

tunity Of pointing a warning finger at
the path which, ii declares, the pres

THE TREMENDOUS VOTE.
Where Did All the Great Flood OF
Ballots Come From?

The Columbia State discusses the
extraordinary large vote cast in the
primary on Tuesday as follows:
According to the census Of 1910 the
white population Of South Carolina
was 679.162.
For the ten years, 1900 to 1910, the
white population Of the state IN
creased little less than 22 per cent.
Assuming 22 per cent as the rate
of increase for the decade, or 22 per
cent as the annual rate of increase.
the white population of the State
should be at this time 7O9,O45.
Reckoning that for every five per-
sons there is one male Of voting age
there should be in South Carolina at
this time 141,SO9 white males of vot-
ing age.
At II o'clock last night 13S,SO4
votes had been reported as cast in
last Tuesdays primary. Thirty-three
boxes remains unreported.
AiO'CA anu nlnety-olRnt
boxes alreao, reported had averaged
115 ballots each. Taking 115 as the
average for the remaining 93 boxes
$500 ballots would remain to be add
ed to the ballots reported, making a
total for the State of 142,1O4.
In other words, the inference would
be that every white man above 21
years old in the State voted last Tues
day plus 295.
If the white voting population Of
the State is 141,S09, every white man
whose name was not on a club roll,
every white man who was sick, ev-
cry unnaturalized white foreigner,
white imbecile and lunatic of voting
age. every white convict, every white
man who was outside Of the State on
election day, every white man who
did not go to the polls, every white
Republican and every white Social
ist must have counted to make the
aggregate Of 142,104 ballots reported
and to be reported as cast, plus 295.

dealer. and 1t is very seldom that he
fails to make an accurate estimate.
In writing to Mr.. j. f. Luke, of the

had the following to say regarding
the crop throughout the belt:
II have just gotten back. I find the
crop out as far as Little Rock almost
a failure. Greenwood to Elberton 90
per cent failure. Elberta Atlanta to
Alabama line not over 55 per cent of
a good crop; entirely across Alabama,
