My Peace.

(By Rev. John Lake,
There is Joy, "South Carolina"
In heart that knew but pain;
There is rest, "South Carolina, "
4 For a weary, throbbing brain:
s~ All the aching,
All the breaking,
All the longings unexpressed,
Wild and tragic,
By the magic
Of thy touch, have fled my breast.
l can pray, "South Carolina,
AS / never prayed of yore;
And forgive, "South Carolina,
AS ne'er forgave before:
For ambition,
Comes contrition;
Out of strife a peace, so new!
And the pruning,
And attuning,
God hath used thy hands to do!
And my dreams, "South Carolina"
That'thy face and favor fill,
All are sweet, "South Carolina,
And the waking's sweeter still
For the waking
Is the breaking
OF brighter day for me:
Sternest duty
CLOVIS with beauty,
Toiling side by side with thee!
Chorus:
O "Carolina, "South Carolina,
So true and tender, so dear to me!
NV Carolina" +" South Carolina" )"
My heart is singing love to thee
to thee!

Farmers Should be Independent.

Everybody who knows anything at
all about the actual cost Of growing
cotton knows that instead of declining,
the price should steadily advance.
W hen the supply of western hogs is
short does the price Of lard and bacon
decline? No. When western beef cattle
are scarce do the products Of the large
packing houses steadily fall? No.
When western mules and horses sre
SC arce do we find that they sell for
less than when the supply is plentiful?
No. Why then in the name of reason
should there be a decline in the price
of cotton when the present crop will
hardly keep the spindles of the world
running for twelve months?
The difference between the western
. acker and stock raiser and the
southern cotton producert is this:
The former fix their prices and will
ell for no less, while the debt-ridden,
dependent farmer is forced to sell the
product of his labor at whatever price
is offered.
Such situation is truly deplorable.
The idea of man working six or eight
months making crop and then hav-
ing absolutely no voice in fixing the
price. But such a condition will exist
as long as farmers are forced to sell
as soon as the crop can be harvested
in order to meet pressing demands.
Southern farmers have practically a
MONOPOLY in supplying the world with
cotto-l, but they are so impoverished
fina, ally that they can not avail
Themselves Of the advantages, which
tl:v .1nnopoly afford.
Tleu, too, there is something wrong
with southern farm management. Sup
pose the present order of things was
reversed. Wers .he southern man the
manufacturer and the shrewd Yankee
the cotton grower, it would only be a
few years before the staple would be
selling for some thing like 20 cents year
after year. Just as the keen-witted
Yankee is now fleeing the cotton
grower, under this change of condi-
tions he would fleece the manufacturer
by storing cotton, letting it go only
when the price which he fixed for it
was paid.
The one great need is for the south
ern farmer to become Independent so
he can hold cotton until satisfactory
price is offered. Just how this inde-
pendence is to be gained is problem
that each Individual farmer must solve
for himself. AS the advantages, limi-
tations and handicaps of farmers diff
fer widely, no iron bound rule or sys-
tenn OF management can be universal
ly adopted. Let each one work out his
own fin ancial salvation. Not until this
is done, however, can the cotton grow
er expect to be otherwise than bound
hand and foot.

South Carolina.

(By Rev. John Lake..
South Carolina! dearest, sweetest
A million loyal hearts with one acclaim
Do honor to thee, proudly sing thy
fame
To one another!
Illustrious in the royal sisterhood
Of states and nations, stand, as thou
hast stood,
So fair and fearless, glorious and good,
A queen, our mother!
The savage tribes would slay thee at
thy birth,
The bondmaid's son would crush thee
to the earth,
The sisters of thy house despise thy
worth;
But God, most holy,
Thy fathers God, himself hath chosen
To fill high and holy destiny,
And bless the children of the bond and
free,
High born and lowly.
And strangers sons, now citizens in
stead,
And docile sons of red men, share thy
bread,
And dusky, care free myriads are fed
From thy full table:
Peace smiles away the battle cloud OF
wrongs,
The anvil beats the time for harvest
songs;
And church and school bells call to
willing throngs,
Fair skinned and sable.
So, towering like thy tall palmetto
there,
The southern sunshine Furnishing thy
hair,
Atlantic kissing soft thy feet 80 fair,
Stand, like thy mountains!
Nay storms but make thy roses closer
twine,
And store thee up the music in the
pine,
Drive song birds from the forests heart
to thine,
Brim-fll thy fountains.
Peace, peace to thee! May every bat
tie field
Give up thy heroes blood-a glorious
q yield!-
TO be a b!ood-bought covenant, God
sealed,
s5I In every garden.
May every crimson petal peace declare,
May every autumn leaf message
bear,
The red in sky and rainbow, every
where,
OF peace and pardon.
May every rugged cross of trunk and
boughs,
Attest thy living faith, recall thy vows,
And twine fresh garlands for thy chill
dren's brows,
0 Carolina!
May every cross put forth living
crown,
Of evergreen, of victory and renown,
And bloom and bear and drop rich
blessings down
To Cardinal
