MARsToN OF. BALTIMORE.

Col. MarSt0n, OF balClmOre, III Ill
the city Saturday afternoon. He has
had a strenuous time since last we
saw him. Reading an account in the
Press and Banner of the "1u" medi-
cine which he brought his friends on
his last visit, he has had time keep
ing on good terms with those who
look after transportation matters for
beverage purposes only.
This time he only brought grape
juice, as he has found variety of
this which is as good for the 'fflu"
as his former prescription. And
then there were some persons who
did not like to take the other remedy,
even for sacramehtal purposes. We
are not. talking now about friends
Kerr and Stark. =. :. i
Not many people knew of his arri-
val, in fact nobody knew of it ,until
they saw the two friends above-nam-
ed, as the lawyers say, walking to-
wards the hotel at much faster
gait than they commonly employ on
trip to the post Office, or when 60
ing to prayer-meeting. Mr.. jamie
son, at the hotel, had hardly assigned
the Colonel to Room. 13 when these
gentlemen called to know whether
the man with the medicine had got
ten in, Obtaining the number, they
called, stayed awhile, after which all
appeared on the street, feeling some
better. -; ..-',- .':t< -.
AS president Of the Greenville
Street Setback College, Uncle Jim
Immediately called faculty meeting
for eight o'clock announcing that he,
in his own proper person, would be
present to make a few remarks on
the relation existing between set
back and "tlu." He and friend Kerr
then left for home to dress for the
meeting. .r../ 49,. 49,,
Mrs. Kerr was standing on the
front piazza as Furniture Kerr am
bled up the street in that direction,
and when he got in speaking distance
she asked whether Col. Marston was
in the city. And it may seen q
strange coincidence, but as Uncle
Jim turned the corner and started
down the lane to his home, member
of the family saw him coming, and
said, "Here comes pa, and think
Mr.. Marston must be in town."
When Uncle Jim got home it was
decided that the weather was too
bad fer him to get out for the night,
but he did not think so. He didn't
say SO though, but sat quietly for
awhile, and complained of being
worse with the flu, saying that he did
not believe he could leave the fire
long enough to 60 to supper. While
the others were gone, he suddenly
improved, however, and putting on
the gown and his beaver hat, and
getting his speech out of his every
day coat pocket, he lit a rag for the
faculty meeting, where having called
the meeting to order he delivered
his speech, which will be. published
in full in a future issue. -,

The legislature raised the salaries
of the state officers because Of the
high cost of living, it is said. Under
the constitution these salaries may
not be lowered during their term of
office, now that these officers have
taken the oath of Office. But as
things, including cotton and the cost
of living are getting cheaper, there
is nothing to keep the members of
the legislature from lowering the
salaries of all county officers and
magistrates.

seemed, I am sure, to, those who
heard or read what he said an avow-
al at once manly and touching. But
it was something more than this. It
showed willingness and ability to
learn, admirable and essential capa-
cities throughout life, and especially
to be cherished in old age. It also
showed the courage to admit that he
had been wrong, and this. is loftier
and rarer attribute and a very fine
quality indeed.
But if Senator Tillman learned to
know the Senate and his fellow Sena-
tors better and to like them better
as the years passed, the Senate also
learned much about him. Everyone
was aware that he was able, force
full, and possessed of unbounded en-
ergy. But Senators found also that
the blunt words and the stormy man.
ner when he was reused were far
more in evidence in public than in
private life. Behind all this was a
kindly nature, plenty Of humor, a
serious outlook on life, and real sim
cerity of purpose. One at least of
those who came in the process of
time to know him well discovered
that Senator Tillman had knowledge
of and genuine fondness for litera-
ture and poetry-good literature and
good poetry be it said-and above
all. that he was a lover of Shakes
peare,. phase Of his character not
generally appreciated. He was a
conspicuous and active Senator for
many years and worked hard and
faithfully until he was stricken by
illness some years ago. After his
partial recovery he went on with
an uncomplaining and an unfailing
courage which commanded every
ones admiration until the end came.
Never did he appear better than in
his attitude toward the war. He never
had any doubts. He recognized what
Germany meant, and he was for the
right and for the, war with all his
strength. During these years of ply
sical trial and endurance he turned
more than ever toward the friends
with whom he had been long in ser
vile, and grew ever gentler and more
kindly. The affection and sympathy
which think he craved, for he had
an emotional nature, were freely
given. After long day Of many
conflicts the evening was calm and
peaceful. As I talked with him and
watched him amid the lengthening
shadows when the sun Of life was
slowly setting often thought Of DR..
Holiness lines written for his own
SEVENTEEN birthday: -, ...."
Still as the silver cord gets worn and
slender,
It's Eghtened task-worn tugs with
lessening strain,
Hands get more helpful, voices grown
more tender,
Soothe with their softened tones
the slumberous brain.
So when the iron portal shuts behind
us,
And life forgets US in it's noise and
whirl,
Visions that Stunned the glaring
MONDAY find u.s.,
And glimmering starlight shows
the gates of pearl.

might be worth while to inquire
whether he is still holding, or .wheth-

that these roads will make cotton go
up. With good roads all the farm
ers who own "tin pan nancies" will
be riding all the time when they

thus reduced and the price will be
better. The argument appeals to us
