Two hours before Wallace died

of it in sailing down hogs killed
that day, Saturday afternoon
Mr.. Owens went there to get salt
for his horses, and as it did not
scrspe freely, he tilted the barrel
and gave 1t two or three hard
shakes. This broke the Jumps
up somewhat aud he began to
pull them out. Finally he pulled
from toward the bottom lump
about six or eight inches long and
several inches in diameter. He
saw some strange object encased
in 1t, and upon making an in
vestigation, found regulation
size stick of dynamite and q fuse
over a foot long. Subsequent
close investigation shows that
the fuse had been burned to with
in half inch of the cap. The
trail of the burning showed in
the closely pressed salt. How
the dynamite got there is, Of
course, u mystery, but that it
was put there when the salt was
first packed in the barrel at some
distant point and it was sealed
up is evident. The fuse might
have been much longer in the
first instance, extending to the
outside Of the barrel, and the
burned part not noticed by Mr.,
Owen when he opened the barrel
last November.

Obituary.

Each day has lite call to duty;
sometimes it ia a joy to answer
this voice and sometimes q sor.
row. Today it is my duty to pay
a tribute of respect TO one of our
departed members of Pelham M.
E. Church, South. As the sun
was slowly sinking to rest on
Jan. 5, 1913, the spirit of Miss
Dora Brashear crossed the silent
river of death and returned to
God who gave it. She was the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. @.
Brsshear. For several years she
has been in declining health. She
was 81 years old.
Not now, but in the future years,
1t will be in q better land,
Wen read the meaning of those tears,
Sometime, up there, we'll understand.
Yes, it is hard for her load
ones to realize just why this life
so full Of hope and promise was
thus taken from her home and
loved ones, but, thank God, up
there in that better land we will
understand. Of course the hearts
of her loved ones are deeply
grleved when they realize she is
dead, but she is gone; her sweet
voice is still in death. The glor-
ious sun of her life is set; it has
gone down behind the aged hills
of time, but it has left behind u
trail of light that will guide the
feet of her loved ones that are
left, to that fAr.off shore where
she and her angel friends stand
! awaiting their coming. She bore
patiently her suffering till God
released her from her pain and
her soul fled to that far-away
home, where there is no sickness,
no pain, 40 death.
Miss Dora will be sadly missed
by her homefolk, friends and co.
| workers in the church, for be it
said to her credit she was faith
full Christian. But now she has
joined church where angels are
her associates and God her pas
tor. No more her feet will tread
earth's green sod, and in casting
our eyes around, her form no
more we see. But we can be in
spired by the hope of meeting
her in heavens bright world
where we meet TO part no more.
She lived q noble life and won
the praise of all who knew her.
Her many virtues form the nobl.
est monument to her memory,
and our loss ia her eternal gain.
Let US prepare to meet her in
heaven where she stands await
ing her fIiends and loved ones.
BY her pastor,
LANNIE W. STEWART.

Defective Vision in School Children

An examination of forty chill
dren from two public schools in
New York City show some strik-
ing results. The forty pupils ex
amined were the worst that could
be found in the two schools ;
eighteen of them being so stupid
that they were in ungraded class
es, eleven were so stupid that
they required three terms to do
the work Of one term and eleven
were delinquent. All Of the forty
children had defective vision.
They were fitted with proper
glasses and after six months it
was found that thlrty-two Of
them had made astonishing pro-
These thirGy-two were under as
many different teachers. A re-
port Of this work has been made
to the Board of Education recon-
mending that the entire care of
the school children, mental, NOR
al and physical, be vested in one
department with 3 single head
and that that should be the Board
of Education, that a sufficient
number Of doctors be trained to
deal with all defects of school
children who are at present in
the category Of ungraded, back
ward or disciplinary cases; that
a,.y child whose work is unsatis-
factory for one term should be
examined and all defects of
structure aud habit corrected as
fer as possible. A report appears
