RIPPLING RHYMES.

WAR Is HIDEOUS.

My breast Is full of panics, and
sore distraught am, for all the good
mechanics now work for Uncle
Sam. They've taken all their
wrenches and iourneyed to the front,
and somewhere near the trenches
they do their loval stunt. They fix
the martial lorry, repair the L. S.
truck, and am sick and sorry, and
sadly cuss the luck. For who will
fix my motor, when valves are out of
whack, or when the gas tank
fioater is ruptured up the back?
The men who piled the spanner
with more than human skill, have
gone, in warlike manner, to sew up
KAISER Bill. Our village vet is try
ing to heal our motor carts. and

ANTI-REFORMERS
ARE STAMPEDE

Columbia, March 4.-The anti-re-
form faction of South Carolina is
wildly stampeded tonight, with no
leader to rally them. The news has
come down from Washington that
Senator Tillman will make his an
nouncemect For reelection tomorrow
morning and it is persistently rumor-
ed that Congressman Lever will prob
ably be in the race.
If Mr. Lever enters the bars will be
let down and other anti-reform candi-
dates will probably get in the running.
With Mr.. Blease leading the solid
ranks of. the reform party and the
anti-reformers hopelessly mystlfied,
scattered anti-reform leaders are to-
night sadly asking themselves where
are we!''
There is another persistent rumor
that Governor Manning may be a can
didate for Congress to succeed Mr.
Lever if Mr. Lever gets into the SEN
atorial race. The situation is be-
coming more complex and the anti
reform skies are dark and laden.

In Memory Of Horace z. Harmon,
Who Died Nov. Is. 1917.

Death at all times and under a.!
circumstances is sad. 1t is sad for
an old man or woman, who has live"
his or her three score years, to die.
It is sad for an innocent little babe
that has just lived long enough to
gain the fond affection of its mother,
to die. But when a sweet geptle life
like Horace P. Harmon just groWi[
into manhood, is called into the great
eternity. surrounded as he was by
host of admiring friends. it is
doubly sad. They admired him fcc
his own. true self admired him for
his happy disposition and cheerful
words Of encourag cement to his CON-
panions. and, because of his true and
faithful service as a w. o. W.
He was gentle. kind and true. what
more could he be? May God heal the
many broken hearts and help them
to say. "Thy will be done"
In our blindness We cannot under
stand it. but at last when all life's
lessons have been learned and we too
have been called up higher we shall!
see and understand. God will reveal
all to Us if we only watch faithfully
and wait patiently, we shall see his
face again. but oh. so changed. not
as it was when we saw it last. pale
and lifeless, but it will be bright ard
shinin" never to bear the marks of
pain again.
No more on earth shall we hear hi;
footsteps. but may we meet his bright
and shining face at the pearly gates
above where no parting tears are
shed but all will be brieht and happy
