In MemOriam

William Earnest, fourth son of Capt.
and Mrs. r. N. Hall, was born April
26, 1879, in Grenada; died in Colon,
Panama, April 2, 1913.
His childhood and school days were
passed in Grenada, and when quite
young he began work and soon became
a fine cotton buyer; which business he
continued until he left for Panama,
Aug. II, 1910, since which time he had
been in the employ of the U. S. Gov
eminent on the great Canal, where he
was true and faithful to every trust
and duty, as always characterized his
life.
In January he had a 42-days furlough
due him, which showed his continuous
and faithful service there.
On March 4, last, he resigned his po-
sition, intending to return home, This
two special Mississippi friends having
returned home months before); but
misfortune and illness befell him and he
died almost two thousand miles from
''home and mother" without the
ministering hands of dear ones to
soothe and cheer him, but the loving.
tender Jesus, and his elder brother
were there with arms far stronger and
love more gentle thar earthly ones car
| give, and Earnest was not alone in the
"valley of shadows" Jesus, with His
convoy of angels, dispels all shadows
and answers the call of a contrite heart;
He knows all human souls and His
love and mercy are limitless.
Earnest, as he was called by all who
knew him best, was a loving and low
able son and brother; was so thought
full and helpful to his devoted mother
and little sister. Whether at home or
far away they were always remem-
bered by him in many ways.
During these years in far away Pan
anna, he tried in many ways to make
amends for past mistakes, and show
his gratitude to those who had be-
friended him in the past. He bravely
withstood the longing to come home,
until his ~furlough was due.
But when God calls, all His children
must ~obey-for God is love and makes
no mistakes. Now generous. brave,
impulsive Earnest rests beside his gal
liant, brave father, the Confederate
Captain R. N. Hall, and two noble
older brothers; and when the glorious
resurrection morn shall call the dead to
life, may there be the unbroken fam
lily circle to hail the Lord in glory. l
knew Earnest in early years, and we
know the child heart is an index of the
soul within. Tread lightly, speak soft
ly, judge kindly, is Gods message to
all humanity. A Friend.

The Little Knee Pants.

The Little Boy came into the room just
With a proud little look on his face;
! turned with a wrinkle upon my brow,
But it fled at his pristine grace.
He seemed to have something to let me
see,
And oh, how his eyes did dance
When ! saw through the light of his
golden glee
That he had on little knee pants.
The Little Boy strutted around just
As a c%onqueror might who'd won
Some battle of old in the rowdydow
Of sword and banner and gun.
But he caught me looking away, fear,
Through a mist that was in my eyes,
For | walked in a dream of the yester-
year
And the blue of my boyhood skies.
The little boy thinks it is fine to grow,
And he yearns for the day to dawn
When he can be master and he can 20
With pants like his fathers on.
And then afterwhile he will sit him
In a reverie just like me
And wish he was lad in a little town
With breeches that came to his knee.
Wish it as often as we have done,
We men who we're boys on a time,
And lived in the beautiful valleys of
sun
Meath the hills of the childhood
cline.
And it will not matter when that day
comes
What glory the world may hold,
Nor lthe music of flies, nor the roll of
drum,
Nor the legions that march in gold.
The Little Boy will look far away,
As l am looking now,
And something way down in his heart
will be gray,
And the wrinkles will lie on his brow,
And he'll wonder and wonder if ever
again
His heart will be happy and free
AS those of the lads who have wished
they were men
When their little pants stopped at
the knA.
Baltimore Sun.

Quoted. This startling policy of
wrecking an enterprise solely because

new lot of Federal statesmen
In effect the Attorney General
wants to upset the decisions of the
Supreme Court which directed how
the Tobacco Trust and the Standard
Oil Trust should be dissolved.
If Supreme Court decisions are to
be thrown to the winds by any legal
gentlemen who may be placed at the

WILSON WON'T ANSWER
CHARGE OF LOBBYING"

WASHINGTON. June There is
resentment in the White House of the
charge made by Senator Townsend at
the Senate lobby hearing that Presi-
dent Wilson is the most effective lob
byist. There is doubt however, that
the President viii take official notice
of the criticism of his methods and
appear before the investigating COM
mission
Senator Reed, acting chairman. de-
clareS that he will not calf the PreSl-
dent to the stand.
''He will be welcomed, if he desires
to appear, but | see no reason why he
should deny charges that never have
beer made, and until some Senator
makes a specific charge, naming
some Senator who has been infiu-
enced. the President will not be
called" says Mr.. Reed
Senator Reed made his statement
upon his return from the White
House where he had a conference
with Secretary Tumulty.
Senator Cummins, who with Sena-
tor Nelson. of Minnesota, represents
the minority. has made no definite
plans. He declares that inasmuch as
the Democrats started this inquiry,
upon the direct charge by the Presi-
dent that a lobby existed. it is their
duty to pursue il to the end.
But" said the Iowa man. Il in
tend to insist before the hearings are
over that President Wilson furnish
the committee with the facts or in
formation upon which he based his
statements as to the 'insidious lob
bying' in Washington
This is taken to mean that it is
probable the President will be asked
to appear before the committee in
person instead of transmitting his
statement in writing. If this be tine
case, his friends declare he is primed
with sufficient material to establish
his charges.
The committee was in recess to-
day. preparing for the resumption of
the hearing Monday, when the last of
the Senators will be called to testify.
There are about a dozen of these.
and then will come the long list of
outsiders whose names have been

AMERICANS IN MEXICO

"once for all" whether they can ex-
pect protection from their home Gov

says, in part:
Having been left without any pro-
lection whatever on the part of both
sides of the pending controversy,
therefore we can look for protection
only from our own country. We
must know once for all if we can eX-
pect same Having been subjected
to sights and a great variety Of in
dignitieS and gross abuse during the
last few days. the situation calls for
most serious preparations for our per-
SOnal safety and the defense OF our
families and our interests. There
fore We have assembled for the pur-
pose of considering the best way. We
consider protection necessary now.
since after death il will be of no
utility"
The message declares in addition
that the petitioners have borne finan-
cial losses silently. but that many of
them can not obey the advice to get
away if in danger" as their depart
ure would mean the abandoning OF
the Accommodations of a lifetime.
We consider the lives of ourselves
and our families in danger. and the
situation has justified this petition
several times in the last few days

MRS. TOMLINSON DELEGATE
FROM SUMTER CHAPTER

The meeting of General Sumter Chap
ter ID. A. X. Wednesday afternoon with
Mrs. John w. Tomlinson was one of the
most successful ever held by the chap
ter, for As members were present and
the transaction of chapter business was
attendant with especial interest.
The chief purpose of the meeting was
the election of a delegate TO represent
General Sumter chapter at the d. A. Il
congress In Washington during April
Mrs Tomlinson was unanimously chosen
for this distinguished honor. Mrs. Joseph
V. Allen, who was recently elected state
regent of the D. r. for Alabama
will go to the congress, where she viii
be formally ordained in her duties as
regent, and she will probably represent
Mrs N w. Tremble, regent of General
Sumpter chapter, though Mrs. Trimblt
may find later that she also can attend
the convention, Mrs. Rhett Goode oi
Mobile, will be at the congress and
Mrs j. Morgan Smith of this city, vice
president general, is another who con.
templates attendance.
The meeting with Mrs. Tomlinson was
a delightful incident. The tea houl
which concluded the session brought the
chapter members together in congenia
fashion in the dining room of her home
where United States flags and Ameri
can Beauty roses made a tasteful and
appropriate decoration for the tea table
One of the pleasant features of the aft
ernoon was the group of songs sung by
Miss Lucy Dickinson, who played hel
own accompaniments.
