the finances will warrant, yet this of it.
self will not make good schools. There
is a work for each parent to do. and you
are charged with as much responsibility
towards the success or failure of a
school as are the officials and teachers
| in charge.
If you keep your child out of school
during the fall to pick cotton. and be
attends irregularly short part Of the
winter, how can you help to build uo
your school and community and to get
the results which rightfully belong to
you? The vast majority of the children
of this county never get beyond the
fifth grade, while hundreds drop out
from year to year, never having gotten
that far.
Many ardent educators have for years
been advocating compulsory attendance.
Doesn't it look like we need something
of the kind when parents are so care
less and Indifferent towards their chill
dren as to regard them as commercial
assets?-so much stock in trade?
Your children are entitled to rhc
very best educational advantages you
can give them and should not be ex-
pected to be the support of the family.
I am not arguing that a child should
not be taught nor made to work, but I
am arguing against keeping your chill
dren out OF school when they ought to
be there and kept there every day the
school is in session. This is an age OF
sharp competition and the individual
best able to cope with varying coldi-
tions is the individual with good edu-
cation. Your child needs all the advan-
tages iu reach to fit and prepare him
for the responsibilities that lie out be-
fore him. Parents, without going into
an exhaustive argument, the truth of
which you would be compelled to admit
let me implore you to arrange now to
send your children to school promptly
and for the entire session. You know
you ought to do it-you owe it TO your
child, to yourself, to your community,
to your State. II you will do SO, you
will soon be able to measure results-a
thing you can hardly do now when at.
tendance is so poor Think, then act.

The He'll Bound Train.

tom Gray lay down on the bar-roou
floor
Having drunk So much he could drink
no more,
And fell asleep with troubled brain,
To dream that he rode on hell-bound
train.
The engine, with blood was red and
damp
! And dismally lit with a birthstone lamp.
An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones,
AS the furnace roared with a thousand
groans.
The boiler was filed with lager beer,
And the devil himself was the engineer.
The passengers made such a motley
crew
Church member, Atheist, Gentle and
Jew,
Rich men in broadcloth and beggars in
rags,
Handsome young ladies and withered
old hags,
Yellow and black men, REQ and white,
Chained all together, a horrible sight.
Faster and faster the engine few,
Wilder and wilder the country grew.
Louder and louder the thunder clashed,
Brighter and brighter the lightning
flashed.
Hotter and hotter the air became,
Till the clothes were burned from each
quivering frame,
And in the distance they hear such
yell,
'Ha! Hap croaked the devil, We're
nearing hell.'
And Oh! how the passengers shrieked
with pain,
And begged the deyil to stop the train.
But he capered about and danced for
And laughed and joked at their agony.
My faithful friends, you have done my
work,
Ar the devil can never payday shirk.
Yo" have bullied the weak and robbed
the poor,
And the hungry brother turned from
your door;
You have gathered up gold where the
canker rusts,
And given free vent to your hellish
lusts;
You've drunk, and rioted, and murder
ed and lied,
And mocked at God in your hell-bound
bride;
You've paid full fare so I'll carry you
through,
For it's only right that you get your due,
For every laborer is worthy his hire,
So III land you safe in the lake OF fire
Where my fiery imps will torment you
forever,
And all in vain you will sigh for Saw
ior'
Then Tom awoke with an awful cry,
His clothes soaked wet and his hair
standing high,
And be prayed as he never prayed be-
fore
To be saved from hell and the devils
power.
And crying and praying we're not in
vain,
For he never more rode on the hell
bound train"

A Comrades Tribute.
Editor The Manning Times.

Editor The Manning Times:
1t has been my privilege in so many
instances to pay a tender tribute to my
dear brave old war comrades whose
deaths reach me through the public
press. II is labour of love and can
not refrain from putting on record for
posteritY, individual deeds of heroism
done by the dauntless soldiers that wore
the gray, which I actually witnessed.
Just today I read in The Times the
death of Capt. David ST. Pierre Du Bose,
born at his ancestral home, Spring
Grove, this county. At the sound OF the
war drum ne joined the Manning
Guards. and at their baptismal Of fire

spicunus "allantry and was severely
wounded. On recovering he joined The
Boykin Rangers: and returned 10 Fir-

condition threatening Richmond by the
enemies line OF approach closing in on
the devoted old city. South Carolina
gave TO the COnfederacy 10 this hour of
need and adversely five splendid regi-
ments of cavalry sp!endidly equipped
and mounted. Their arrival in Virginia
was received by Richmond with an ova-
ton, and it was manifest that great
achievements were expected of these
splendid troopers.
This was the campaign of 1864, the
most desperate and bloody ever fought
by the cavalry OF Virginia, led by their
peerless and intrepid commander, Gen
eral Hampton. He time and again dis
mounted his entire command Of nine
thousand troopers, assaulted the enc
mics breast works, running them out
and capturing a.! OF his artillery: notab-
" at Reams Station. This was new
departure for cavalry and without a
record, but Hampton realized the des- |
perate condition prevailing around
Richmond. and won every battle fought |
by his cavalry in that cam paign. Hunt

routed him on sight. Sheridan troopers

Poor Children Have Best Teeth?

Journal makes the statement that the
most perfect teeth he has seen have
been in the mouths of the children of
the very poor-children who never
possessed a tooth brush, This physi-

more carbohydrates and less deter

their organizations which resists beth
