Country Life.

At break of day, first thing l hear
The ROSTERS crow so loud and clear;
He wakes the world in pleasant way,
To begin another day.
From the kitchen can smell
The ham that mother cooks so well;
| / think of work planned for the day,
So Jump from bed without delay.
Breakfast o'er, the sun peeps out;
The restless cattle walk about;
I hear the song of distant lark,
And Rover greets me with a bark.
Our works begun, and most too soon
We hear the bell that says tits noon;
Potatoes, fruit of every kind,
It's Just the feast that suits my mind.
Back to work when dinners over
The summer sun has withered the
clover;
It's rays are hot, the sweat does roll,
Oh, to dwell by the far North Pole!
Down by the spring where the cool
water flows,
And through the elm the soft breeze
blows;
Ia while I sit, thinking how grand
Is Nature in our own fair land.
At close of day when all is still,
II hear the song of the whippoorwill;
The little squirrels go to nest,
And all of Nature is at rest.
Oh, Nature you are wonderful,
With vine-clad hill and stretching
plain;
Beautiful rivers and stately trees,
And oceans whose wavelets never
cease. I.
Oh, for the pen of Longfellow great,
|of the mind of Edgar Lee,
That 1 might put in words and song,
What Nature is to me!

ministers children. We do not believe
this charge has any real foundation,
but has gained credence in some
quarters because of the fact that
when the son of a minister falls
short of the Hooper cent standard
he is at once held in the spotlight by
carping critics and not infrequently
his short comings are greatly exag-
gerated.
Would that fault-fnders were as
prone to give a minister credit for
rearing strong, manly, upright, hon
orable, ambitious and altogether
praiseworthy boy as they are disposed
to criticize when he has the misfor-
tune of having an unworthy son go
out from his home. Were the Golden
Rule more generally practiced in
the lives of men and women, no such
unjust charge would have gained a
footing.
Ir this connection it gives the writ
er &. peculiar pleasure to reproduce
the following from the Aiken Journal
and Review concerning the achieve
ments and true worth of the splendid
son of DR.. and Mrs. Phillip j. Mclean
of Aiken:
0Phillip James Mclean, Jr., who
graduated with honors from the
Charleston Citadel last week, had a
busy senior year in addition to his
regular college work. He was the
associate editor of ''The Sphinx" :"
the college annual, a member of the
debating team, manager of the can
teen, acting secretary of the college
"Y.," editor of "The Bulletin" the
state organ of the Student Volun-
teer and delivered many addresses
before minor organizations. He was
the Second Lieut.. of Co. D., and grad
uated 9Th in class of 46. He has
been recommended for a commission
as second lieutenant in the o. R. c.,
Coast Artillery and WILL be COM
missioned when he reaches the age
of 21, being only 10 years old now.
Next year he will leave for Crozier
Theological Seminary where he in
tends taking up his studies for the
ministry and at the same time do
post graduate work in the University
of Pennsylvania"

two white ants dodging about and

the big fight will look like from an

A National Disgrace.

The slugging match which will take
place between Dempsey and Carpen-
ter Saturday afternoon, July 2, across
the Hudson river from New York
city is national disgrace. If the
State of New Jersey has no law pro-
hibiting the holding of such brutal
combat within its borders, it needs
one. The ideals of a nation which en-
ioys the worldwide distinction of be-
ing a model for the other nations of
the earth should be so high and the.
public conscience SO quickened that
such a spectacle would be impossible
in America.
Leaving out of consideration the
demoralizing influence of such a
sport, if such slugging match can
be so dignifed as to be classed as
sport, from an economic standpoint
alone in this financial crisis it should
be outlawed. With millions of people
literally starving in the remote cor
ners of the earth, who nevertheless
are our neighbors; with hundreds and
hundreds of thousands of people in
our own country out of employment,
many of them heads of dependent
families; with want and suffering
widespread in our congested cities
because of business depression now
with countless schools and
churches lacking in adequate support
because of the existing conditions, it
is nothing short of crime before
God and man for millions upon mil
lions of dollars to be spent upon
sport so useless and so harmful. 1t
is national tragedy which in our
opinion will not go unrebuked.
Notwithstanding the fact that
hundred words can be truthfully ut
tered in condemnation of the brutal
contest to every word that can be said
in it's, favor, yet it is quite probable,
that one person out of every hum
dred of the country's population will
either be spectator or a party to
the crime by being in close proximi-
ty to the arena. Upwards of $4,000
seats have been provided, at a cost
of more, than s25O,Oo0, the price of
each seat ranging from SIS to $50. 1t
is shame that such an enormous
sum is to be spent upon a contest to
decide what?-which of the two men
is the more brutal. Simply that and
nothing else. The cost of admission
and the making ready for the contest
are but small part of the actual
money to be spent. Think of the thou
sands who journey from the far off
Pacific coast, from the lakes and from
the Rio Grande, and the sums they
will spend in railroad fare, hotel
bills, etc. Then there will be gamb-
ling in connection with the contest.
Hundreds upon hundreds of thou
sands of dollars will be staked upon
the outcome.
The following dispatch sent out
from New York several days ago
shows what elaborate preparations
have been made for the success of
this shameful contest:

are to weigh, class, seal and certificate

AS q matter OF fact, It was frat

the grade is established by the best

argument about the price basis. On
the other hand, it has been the expe

protected on price by means of the
certification to the extent of from
twice to five times its cost. Though
the company has been operating only
short time, 1t has already handed
several thousand bales to the entire
satisfaction to both banks, and cotton
owners, thus proving the practicable
