The daylight and the darkness are
song;
The clouds that fieck the summer skies
with white,
The stars that CLEAN above US all night
long,
Are symbols of the song of love and
light.
And deeper chords there are. and har-
monies
The which no mortal thought has ever
found,
Because they are eternal ecstacies
Too marvel-sweet to be blurred into
sound.
Beyond the pulsing cadence of the breeze,
Beyond the throbbing monotone of rain,
The Tilt of bird songs and the hum of
bees,
There surges up vast, unfathomed
strain
Which we may hear all family in the
When all the world has left US quite
alone,
Or when in awe we stand upon some
height
Yet never is that song completely
known.
Aye. times we sense it when we feel the
thrill
OF looking Ger the meadowlands in
spring,
Or when the snow makes of the tree
crowned hill
An worried stillness-then the shadows
sing
AS do the sun-kissed fields, and distant
haze,
And all things-all the sky and sea and
land;
It is the song of all the nights and days
That we may hear, but may not under
stand.
The daylight and the darkness are song.
And all the unknown heights and depths
of space,
Where myriad systems whirl and wheel
and throng,
Each fieck of star-dust in its given
place
All these, with blades of grass and Or
chard bloom,
And gale-tossed SHOWS and winding
Powered ways,
And great sea pillows. and the rose-per-
fume,,
All blend into the song of nights and
days.

WHERE THERE'S NO DANGER.

The people of South Carolina are not likely to
take seriously All outcry against South Carolina
members of Congress because they voted for the
amendment providing for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote. The adoption of
the amendment in the form in which it finally
passed Congress, to be submitted to the States
for ratification, gives to the Federal government
no more power to interfere with senatorial cleo
tons than the government already has in respect
to the election of members of the Lower House.
The last 36 years have proved conclusively
that there is no danger of negro domination in the
South, and if the danger of "force bill' could
be escaped quarter of century ago, when both
Houses of Congress were still full of Northern
ers of the generation that had participated in the
War Between the Sections, it is ridiculous to talk
about the existence Of such danger now.
The people of South Carolina are suffering
from the oppression that the election of Senators
by machine controlled legislatures in many States
causes. What is desirable now is that the Senate
shall be restored to the people. The people of the
South can be depended upon to keep it out of the
hands of the negroes-Edtorial appearing in Co
lun1bia State June 20, 1912.

but am glad that voted with majority of
them against him. He voted for Loriner and
now has opposed to him Capt. Richmond P Hob
son, who will most likely defeat him. Certainly,
one of the other Senators who voted against this
measure, has already been defeated, Foster, of
Louisiana
When Mr.. Calhoun says or intin1ates that he
fears negro domination again in South Carolina,
he does not mean it, He does it for votes.
When in 70, with half the manhood of the State
left lying on the fields of Virginia. those who re-
n1ained, poverty stricken though they were, and
surrounded by Yankee soldiers, overthrew negro
rule and established white supremacy, they estab-
lished it forever; and today no man with red
blood in his veins will admit the possibility of his
being ruled by an inferior race of negroes If
feared it I would not admit it, and the mere
statement is an insult to the white people of the
South, and unworthy of man who boasts of the
glorious name of CALHOUN and the military name
of Colonel.

the payment out of the public funds of compen-
sation for the use of the highways over which the
rural mails are carried Though interrupted and
questioned by several city Congressman Mr..
Byrnes sustained himself excellently in running
debate and made an argument that showed his
accurate and entire acquaintance with the bene-
fits that would come to the farming interests of
the country And what helps the farmers helps
everybody-The Barnwell People.

Hon. Harry D. Calhoun,
Barnwell, S. G.


Since debating a hasty reply to your letter of
the 18TH inst enquiring about certain vote of
Mr.. Byrnes of your District it has come to my
knowledge that | was not the only recipient of
such letter, which led me to conclude that you
must feel some peculiar interest in Mr.. Byrnes
and that perhaps for that reason your letter de-
served a more careful and extended answer. So
[ have taken occasion to verify the impression [
had entertained of Mr.. Byrnes' course in Con-
gress and my opinion is confirmed that his record
has been most excellent one, and he has display
ed marked ability on many occasions and he is
faithful, able and upright representative; that
the vote you complain of is the only one of i'm
portance on which have differed with him, and
that iii that he had the company of nearly all the
Democrats in the House, including most all of
the leaders, | could not get my consent to fall
out with him or discredit him for that vote. Un-
der the circumstances he may be right. While
am fully satisfied with the recttude of my course,
admit that it is possible for him to feel the
same way about his course. He certainly has
the advantage of me in having two-thirds of the
Democrats of the House with him besides many
OF the leading Democrats of the country out of
the House. I SHOULD REGARD 1T VERY
FOOLISH POLICY TO DEFEAT HIM
BECAUSE YOU DIFFER WITH HIM
ON THAT VOTE. IF YOU DO, YOU
WILL TURN OUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE
DEMOCRATS IN THE PRESENT HOUSE
AND RETIRE FROM BUSINESS EVERY

Dear Sir:
have your rather peculiar inquiry Of the 10th
inst, and hasten to advise you that | was not
solicited by Mr.. Byrnes to write you the letter of
the 2oth instant, or any other date, nor did he
suggest that write that letter any other letter
for his satisfaction or any other purpose. After
writing you on the 27th, | learned that you had
written similar letters to mine, to other members
of the House, among them one of my colleagues
from Georgia. Then it occurred to me perhaps
in writing you hurriedly had not expressed my
self as fully as should, and thought it right to
send you supplemental letter.
Since learning that you are candidate against
Mr.. Byrnes, have deemed it only fair to him to
furnish him copies of the two letters which
wrote you.

Mr.. Harry D. Calhoun,
Barnwell, S. C..
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 24th inst received appre-
ciate very much your complimentary reference to
my remarks on the Bristow Amendment. You
say Il notice that Mr.. Byrnes of our District
voted for the final adoption of the Bill. How do
you reconcile his vote with others in this matter
The arguments advanced by those favoring the
Bill were that it was extremely unlikely that the
power given by the Amendment would ever be
exercised, that the danger if any was very re-
mote; and that, unless this amendment was
adopted, no resolution could pass providing for
the election of Senators by the direct vote of the
people.
The demand for this reform has become so
great that many good men thought it best to vote
for the resolution as amended rather than have it
fail altogether A majority of the Congressman
from the South took this position My feelings
and judgment caused me to vote the other way;
but feel sure that these gentlemen were as
honest and sincere in their conduct as was
With reference to Mr. Byrnes, | will say that
am serving on committee with him and have
had good opportunity to study and to know him.

conscientious and intelligent. He is active and
energetic. He devotes himself untiringy to
his work From what | know Of him, say r1l-
hesitatngly that no constituency has representa-

constituents or one who is more unremltt1ng IN
his efforts than has the one represented by Mr..
Byrnes.
