Inc door swings wide on the threshold

And silence everywhere:
The garden lies a wildwood
OF bloom where the roses rare
Are waiting the foot Of childhood

OF the great house in the square.
Age sits in the lonely parior
OF the great house in the SQUARE.
With Youth, that aches and PAGES

1heir hearts a garden wildwood

Lest motherhood and childhood

Mr.. Editor, l hope you and the
readers will excuse this long, scatter
ing communication. You shall have
the best at the last. It is from the
Spartanburg Journal, and was copied
by the Greensboro Daily News. Don't
let US forget the brave and true Wom-
en- of fifty years ago. What they
and the old veterans endured cannot
be described in words. The Confed-
crate veteran will soon be out Of the
way.
Here follows the expression from
our South Carolina friend:
Honor Due the Confederate Veterans.
FOrty-nine years ago Lees army
was beginning their retreat from Get
tysburg. Slowly they made heir way
over muddy roads to Falling Water on
the Potomac and got on Virginia soil
again.
Memorial day has passed, but while
a few veterans are left and a few
women full of patriotism who offered
their lives for their country the wom-
en- who suffered at home will not be
forgotten. AS the years pass there
is a smaller attendance at the re-
union of soldiers, but there is no
want of appreciation and gratitude
Of the people who have a reverence
for highest valor and patriotism.
IL oIlC l1dS AOl (lIC Rdt4Sk(C 1 LAAC
patriotism to lear the words of the
orator, or the sentiment to lay flow
Ell or the grave Of some veteran, at
least something can be done in every
home to tell the children about it.
TeV them what their grandfathers
and g~randmothers did to sustain an
unseIfish cause! Don't forget grand
mas part! Perhaps it was h great
er!
NJ mon con nnccihlxy fool
what that moment must have been,
when h veterans, threats choking,
tried in vain to say good bye, and
took their last looks at weeping wives
and daughters and mothers.
There is little in our lives that cor
responds to the strength and courage
Of the mothers Of Israel, who brave
the younger women with a strength
and hope they did not feel in their
own hearts,.
The lot Of the soldier must have
been preferable to that Of the dear
n who stayed at home. In danger,
action is far better than inaction.
When not in imminent peril, the du-
ties, the humors, the companionships
Of camp life occupied the mind OF
the soldier. Morbid thoughts did not
enter much. even in actual battle,
the mind could hardly stop to realize
the a situation.
At home, how different! Every step
was dreaded. 1t might be the bearer
Of a letter or a telegram bringing
fatal news. Every ewspa was
opened with shaking hands.
1t is harder to get the citizen of
1912 to turn out to the c-aucusSes on
a rainy night, to save his state and
country from grafters, than it was to
persuade the boys of 81 to stand up
to be shot at.-Spartanburg journal

New Orleans, June 5-Cotton fu- points on poor cables. The weather map showed scattered showers over the belt and was called unfavorable by the long side. It did not stimu- late buying to any extent, but did check the selling movement. Crop accounts continued favorable, a- though fear was expressed that con- tinued showers would result in grassy fields. With the rains, late planted cotton was reported looming up to good stand. At the end oi the first half hour prices were D points under yesterdays close.
 The weather forecast promised more rain in portions of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia This was called unfavorable and led to some buying, although at no time during the morning session did the market show much life. The most active months gradually improved until they were unchanged to 1 point up compared with yesterdays closing level. July was inactive. The duii- r,ess finally told against the market and at neon prices were 3@4 points under yesterdays final quotations.

To Survey
 Overflowed Lands
Southern Commercial Congress Plans
 To Reclaim Millions of Acres.

To Reclaim Millions of Acres.
 Washington, June 5.-Congress has heen petitioned today by the Southern Commercial Congress to provide a complete survey of all swamp and overflowed land in the United States, to be followed by a plan for draining each individual project as part of a complete system of reclamation.
 The survey would include an exam ination of the soil of swamp and over flowed lands, showing their value from an agricultural standpoint, adaptibility for growing crops and an estimate of the cost of such reclama- ton. There are more than S0,00O,0O0 acres of such land in tn ecountry.
 The petition was presented to the Senate by Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, president of the Southern Commercial Congress, at Nashville, Tenn, April S-10. resolution intro duced by John M. Parker, of New Orleans, first president of the Southern Commercial Congress, that Congress be petitioned to provide for reclamation of this land, was unani- mously passed. The resolution also provided for nationwide education al campaign by the Southern Com mercial Congress to show the econom- ic value of retaining this land, and calling on all commercial organiza- tions to assist in the campaign.
 A commission to standardize drain age laws of the various states was provided for in the resolution. This commission was appointed by Senator Fletcher last week. It includes J. O.. Wright, chairman, Tallahassee, Fla; A. w. McKeand, Charleston, s. C.; s. C. Joseph, Hyde Pratt, Chapel Hill N. O.; Justin F. Denechaud, New Or leans, La.; Wm. w. Old, Jr., Norfolk, Va: Walter Clark, Clarksdale, Miss; A. K. Purdue, Nashville, Tenn; A. A. Stiles, Austin, Tex; Charles F. Barrett, Shawnee, Okla; and Senator T. P. Matthews, Oakland, Tenn.
 Senator Fletcher, following the pre- sentation of the petition, has arrang- ed for publication as a public docu- ment the address on drainage of J. O.. Wright, chief drainage engineer of Florida, delivered at the Nashville convention of the Southern Commer- cial Congress.

Boston Has Troop of
 Chinese Boy Scouts

Boston, Mass, June 5.--BostOn has troop of Chinese Boy Scouts. It is as large and thriving as the one ill New York under Ralph Chant. The Boston troop was organized on March l, and in two weeks, 16 of the boys passed the Tenderfoot requirements and received their badges In short time more boys became Tenderfeet and there are about 10 other boys preparing for the Tenderfoot degree. Concerning the troop, Ormond E. Loomis, Field Secretary of the Boy Scouts of America in Boston and one of the organization of the Chinese troop writes: They are particularly fortunate in having the help of three Chinese studentsl MT. Howard s. Moy who is the most active Scout Master, MT. Chang and Mr. Ii. It is most interesting and pleasing to see the en- thusiasm and earnestness with which they are working For the past month they have been having four meetings week, two in the evening, and two in the afternoon, the afternoon meet ing always being a hike with some attractive feature included Their services to the Public Recreation Lea que as guides on hiking, trips through the parks has already created quite little attention. This they give with out self-consciousness or affectation. The eagerness with which they work and delight in giving some pleas- ure to others is contagious. Those who go with them are abundantly rewarded. 1 believe these Scouts will be ready to meet their second-class requirements within two or three weeks, as they are working most faithfully to this end. About half of them are already uniformed. They plan to take advantage of the Scout Camp which is to be conducted in the Blue Hills this summer, and probably will be there two or three weeks. Their American brothers will have to work little harder or they will show up to poor advantage in some of the competitions that are to be held dur
 ing the Camping Season."
