.Dad, Here's to You"

We happened in a home the other
night. and over the parlor door saw
the legend, worked In letters Of red,
What is Home Without a Mother .
Across the room was another BRIEF,
God Bless Our Home"
Now, what's the matter with God
Bless Our Dad?"
He gets up early, lights the fire,
boils an egg and wipes off the dew
of the dawn with his boots, while
many a mother is sleeping. He makes
the weekly hand-out for the butcher,
the grocer, the milk man and baker
and his pile is badly worn before he
has been home an hour
II there is noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
to 20 downstairs to find the burglar
and kill him.
Mother darns the socks, but dad
bought the socks in the first place
and the needles and the yarn after
wards. Mother does up the fruit
well, but dad bought it all, and Jars
and sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself anu
draws the neck from the ruins after
everyone .else is served.
What Is Home without Mother"
Yes, that is all right; but what Is
home without Father? One chance
to one it's a boarding house, father
is under a slab and the landlady Is
the widow. Dad, here's to you; you've
got your faults and you may have
lots Of 'em, but you are all right, ana
we will miss you when you're gone.

If YOU WANT TO BE
HAPPY LISTEN TO YOUR

"To thee, my master, offer my
prayer:
Feed me, water and care for me,

Your voice often means az much to
me as the reins. Pet me sometimes.
that l may serve you the more gladly
and learn to love you. Do not jerk
the rens, and do not whip me when
going up hill. Never strike, beat, or
kick me when / do not understand
what you mean, but give me chance
to understand you. Watch me, ana
If I fail to do your bidding, see II
something is not wrong with my mar
ness or feet.

eat. | may have an liberated tooth
and that, you know, is very painfui.
DO not tie my head in an unnatural
position, or take away my best de-
tense against flies and mosquitoes by
cutting off my TAIL
And finally. my dear master "heH
nv useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze, or
sell me to some cruel owner to be
slowly tortured and starved to death,
but do thou, my master, take my life
in the kindest way, and your. God VIII
reward you here and hereafter. You
may not consider me lrreverent II l
ask this in the name Of Him who was
born in a. stable. Amen"

Four White Men Sent to the Gang.

A gentleman remarked that he
saw 8 sad thing Monday when four
white men with stripes on were be-
ing carried to the chain gang in the
upper part of the county, but he add
ed they brought it upon themselves.
These men were on their way To
serve sentences for selling liquor.
AS it appears to us, it is q splen-
did object lesson, and these men are
only getting what they richly de-
serve. There is no more reason why
a white man should not be sent t.
the chain gang when he commits
crime than there Is for sending
colored man. Indeed, we are inclsn-
ID to feel that the white blind tiger
sh ,uld have the preference in this
matter. But We are for no distinc-
tons on account Of race or previous
condition in matters of this kind.
The chain gang in the best medi-
cine that can be prescribed for the
tiger. 1t is the tonic that Will cure,
if given in sufficient doses. Blind ~
gers have had their sway, and their
day in Greenwood, and we are rather
inclined to be put out Of business

In Hemoriam.

Maggie Lena, the little daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Malcolm Shealy, died
March 3, 1917, after a short illness
of pneumonia and was buried at st.
Lukes the following day, service by
the Rev. Cronk.
Maggie Lena was four years and
eight months old and leaves to mourn
her departure a devoted father anu
mother and two brothers and one SIS
ter.
Our precious little girl will no more
be with her friends and loved ones
here. We hope to meet her on the
other shore beyond the river OF death.
All that loving hands and medical
skill could do was done but God saw
fit to transplant her to Drlghter
world.
So. loved ones, you do not weep as
one who has no hope, for you know
where to find her, for your loss Is
her eternal gain.
In our blindness we cannot UNDER
stand it, but God knows best, and al
last. when all Of life's lessons nave
been learned and we. too, have oeen
called up higher We shall see and un-
derstand. Dear ones, your home 1s
sad and lonely since your precious
little darling has been called to ner
blest home in heaven. Now we part
in tears, on earth to meet no more
but We hope to meet in fairer land.
MAY the God Of all peace, comfort
the bereaved ones and help them to
say, "Thy will be DONE

The Long. Sad Journey.

When the army, Of Northern Vir-
ginia had surrendered and the men
paroled at Appomattox, Va, April 3,
1865, General MCGOWAN addressed
the remnants of his brigade, saying
if they would keep together be would
march them in body to South Caro-
lima, giving as the reason that they
could be better provided for as a
BODY than as individuals looking out
for themselves.
Late in the afternoon Of April 12tn
he marched the men few miles from
Appomattox, where they went 1nSe
bivouac for the night. On the morn
ing following, Sims, Of the Twelfth
South Carolina; Young bore, of the
Fourteenth South Carolina; Robt. n.
Land, Of the Thirteenth South Caro-
lima, and B. F. Brown, Of the First
South Carolina, got together and de-
cided that they could fare better as
individuals ard parted from the
marching column at the first road
leading to their right.
The four footed it all the wa yfrom
Va, to their homes IN
