A Song of Days
BY JANE MLEAN.

OF days. that long remembered l should keep
For mine alone from dawn to twilight gray
And then through the night and hours of sleep
The sun thought must shine, and every hour
Would tell ITSELF away, golden bead
No cloud must come no sudden racking shower,
No warning that suddenly take heed
OF life, but meath the honeysuckle vine
Counting my hours I'd know the day was mine
But, OIL 1t was not SO; my day was filled
With thought of others-one who thirsted came
And stood without; brought him water stilled
From the clear spring; had no time to blame
The for hiding, work there TO do.
Sweet marjoram and rosemary l culled
And carried to the sick; scarf of blue
fashioned for a head whose hair was dulled
And when at length 1 weary scanned the gray

JUDGE THOS. S. SEASE
Charges the Grand Jury on Com
pulsory Education.
L l. I ]
(Spartanburg Herald)


If there is any one man. :.!,ve
others in Spartanburg court, who
enjoys the respect and confidence of
the people of this county, it is Judge
Thomas S. Sease, of the circuit
',"ro1. who until his eleva lion to tnat
position was the able solicit.r If
this district. Yesterday, ii ii eh':g'
to the grand jury of this covr;y, he
departed somewhat from the esta!'-
lished order of things and spoke tt
the men who form that important
body of the needs of education
among the masses Of the people, ad
vocating compulsory education as
the step that should be taken by the
state as the only sure means of its
future strength and progress.
The men he addressed are intelli-
gent, patriotic citizens of this, the
leading county in South Carolina
and, while he addressed them direct
ly, in effect he spoke to all the peo-
pie.
1t gives this newspaper great sat-
isfaction to commend his utterances
because the time is at hand, in our
judgment, for the men of South Car
olina, who may speak to the people
from places of authority, to take e
positive stand for those things that
mean most to the state and to the
progress and happiness of the peo-
pie. A word from such men will
have wholesome influence and
counteract much that is being said
to the people by those who seek po.
.itical preferment through appeals
to prejudice and by the offer of IL
cense and immunity from the penal
ty of the law. There are through
out South Carolina many men, not
seeking office, who have the conf
ience of the people, who should in
this time step boldly forth for the
right and the progressive thing. The
people have so long been fed upon
the cheapest arguments of designing
politicians they are hungering and
thirsting for honest advice. They
have asked for meat and have been
given a stone.
