The Conquered d Banner.

Furl that banner; for tis weary,
Round its staff it's drooping dreary; @
Furl it, fold it, tits best: 20
For there's not man to wave it, "
And there's not sword to save it,
And there's not one left to lave it,
In the blood which heroes gave it,
And its foes now scorn and brave it; &
Furl it, hide it, let it rest.
III.
Take that banner down; tbs tattered,
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered
Over whom it hoated high.
Oh! tits hard for us. to fold it,
Hard to think there's none to hold itss
Hard that those who once unrolledit
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Furl that banner; furl it sadly
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly, 81
And ten thousands wildly, madly
Swore it would forever wave;
Swore that foeman's 8 sword could never
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that flag would float forever s
Ger their freedom or their grave
Nv.
Furl it! for the hands that graspt it, 81
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And the banner, it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
Of its people in their woe.
For, though conquered, they adore it.
Love the cold dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those that fell before it, SS
Pardon those who trailed and toreit,
And-oh! wildly they deplore it NJ
Now to furl and fold it so.
Furl that banner; true tits CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And 'twilllive in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down the ages,
Furl its folds though now we must
Furl that banner! softly, slowly,
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above the dead;
Touch it not, unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead.

and 1861 and boarded with Mr..
Kiah Edwards, made our fires,
brought wood, blacked shoes, etc.
He disappeared, whether bv death
or fright, l do not know. After the
election of 1916 / never heard Of
him again.
1t was now after midnight.The
moon high in the heavens looked
down peacefully one the deserted
town and dead negroes, whose lives
had been offered up as a sacrifice to
the fanatical teachings and iendish
hate of those who sought to sub
stitute the rule of the African for
that Of the Caucasian in South Caro-
lima.
The party with which / left
Hamburg was the last to leave the
place. Young Meriwether's neigh
.bors crossed the bridge and return
ed home on the Georgia side. We
got our horses and when we ap.
preached the outskirts Of the town
we stopped at the famous Spout
Spring, whose waters gushed from
the bluffs back of the town. In the
better days of the town this spring
had been provided with granite cop
ing and cover and was always
place for travellers to slake their
thirst as they came in, or to guard
against it as they were leaving-the
roads leading through a dry and
sandy region. The names Of the
men in the party, as | remember
were: Henry Getzen, chief of our
drumhead court martial, Milledge
Horne, who lived two miles below
me, James Lanham, Gus Glover,
j oe Mays, Sam Mays, Henry Simp-
son, John Swearingen, Joe Wise,
Dunlap ,Phinney, William Cook and
myself. Many of these are dead.
When we had drank and washed,
John Swearingen stepped up on the
bank behind the spring and
seizing the post upon which was
nailed notice, Five dollar fine
for dipping any unclean vessel in
this spring." broke it off at the
ground and threw it into the middle
of the road saying with an oath
that Jim Cook would never arrest
another white manrfor drinking at
that spring.
This was an allnsion to an Incl
dent Of the preceding year wen Rev
Mahlon Padgett, who vas carrying.
cotton to Augusta, having no cup.
had stopped at the spring and drank
and had been arrested by Cook and
hurried before the town council,
charged with having broken the or
dinance of the town because having
drank from the spring he had Dip
ped an unclean vessel in it. He was
found guilty and 9hHed hVe dollars.
This had beenta momentous and
strenuous days work. We were
all tired but more than satisfied
with the result. When we reached
Henry Getzen's house be asked US
to stop aud eat some water melons,
which we very gladly did; and as
all of the others except Horne lived
further up the road than myself, we
kept company as we wended our
way homeward. The first streaks of
dawn were reddening the east when

Thoughts That Iniure

There is one class of newspaper publ.

pie who are not Of our mind. We refer
to such publications as the Menace"
the "National Rip.Saw," the Beacon
Light" and the "Appeal to Reason"
They feed ON slander and flourish on
abuse. They appeal to prejudice, stir up
class hatred and saturate the mentality
with that which is low and vicious and
false. Their extreme radicalism, their
hatred and their preconceived ideas that
will not admit of reason or logic, utterly
disqualiies them to present subject in q
fair and unbiased manner, and prompts
them to enlarge upon the truth or resort
to falsehood to carry their point. The
purpose of their existence is to traduce
and destroy, and no character, however
unsullied, no motive, however pure, no

1t is probable that only the drum

Vernacular are used in this country
and which are the faVorite pastimes..
Tor the average man is confused by
those which come to his attention in

tell the cobbler that you want your

not make the mistake of using that
phrase in the New England region
devoted to the pursuit of the frisky
mackerel and the somnolent cod, for
the shoemaker won't know what you
mean. The proper phrase to use
whereabouts is 'heeled and tapped.
Why tapped? Why, because that is
relic of the time when sewed sole
was unknown and the cobbler tapped,
tapped all day long with his little
hammer on the wooden pegs that held
the shoe together.

down and the contents roll out on the
floor or ground, according to where
the owner is playing. The bottom por-
ton of this toy cart is fastened to the
axles of the wheels, and an upwardly
inclined portion is pivoted to the sides.
The sides and back of the cart are
stationary. The back end of the bot
tom portion is connected with the
back of the cart by means of springs,
and can be released by quick, slight
pressure. When this is done the
weight of the contents of the cart
force the bottom down from the rear
and roll out, the upper portion of the
body of the cart being raised a little
in the process. This makes no diff
ference, however, to the position of
the horse, which trots along on its
single wheel in the same attitude as
before. Any little teamster will tell
you that this dump cart is a big inn
provement over one that you have to
pick the load out of by hand.

WHEN THERE WAS NO SHADOW
interesting Occurrence in Midocean on
February 10, fe13-Sun Was
Vertically Overhead.

Every one knows that when a per-
son stands in the full sunshine his
body casts a shadow which will be
either short or long, according as the
sun is high up in the heavens or near
the horizon at sunrise or sunset. A lit
tie thought will bring it home to the
reader that obviously, if the sun is ex-
actly vertical over a persons head
there can be no shadow. But the prob
lem is to determine when and where
this shall be the state of things. AS
regards the where" that must evil
IDENTIFY be at some place on the earth
in the tropics, and the when must
be the hour of midday. To. get these
two things to concur by prearrange-
ment is a matter of no small diff Guilty.
But AS matter of fact they did occur
on a day in February, 191S-namely,
the 18th, when a scientific friend Of
mine, w. B. Gibbs, was in mid-ocean
in latitude Is degrees south, the suns
declination being also about 10 de-
grees south A photo, reproduced In
the Strand, represents Mr.. Gibbs and
another man standing bolt upright on
the deck facing one another, and
clearly shows the absence of any sign
of a lateral shadow-in other words,
it proves that the ship was in such q
latitude that the sun was vertically
overhead, and that the time was noon,
when the sun was at its highest alti-
tude as between east and west.
