Another happy home has been vis- t ited by the Aogel of Death, aDd J bereft of that one whose place can never be filled. There is now a vacant chair whose occupant was Ihe embodiment of love and devotion to ^ her family and friends and whose life j was spent in acts of benevolence and words of comfort and cheer to those about her. ^ Mrs. Elizabeth B. Geiger, the beloved mother, the Christian exemplar and beacon light of a large family, is no more. The tie that bound her to this earthly sphere has been broken ar d her angel spirit has crossed over the river and winged its flight fo meet ^ with loved ones on the other side. Though irreparable her loss and t deep the grief that crushes cur hearts, we sorrow not as those who f have no hope, for we know that she q is not dead but transformed from a life c of probation to one of perfect bliss, t where the flowers bloom forever and the weary are at rest. She was born at Sandy Kun, S. C., . on the 12th of February, 1830, and : j departed this life at Cedar Grove, her winter residence near the Congaree, on the morning of May 22nd, 1901. She was the daughter of the ^ late Joseph Archibald and Mrs. c Caroline A. Wolfe, and lived to be ! a the oldest surviving member of their c large family. In the beautiful blocm of early womanhood she was happily married to Captain Abram W. Geiger, for many years a well known and successful planter, and who preceded her to the spirit land. Her funeral ser- j vices were solemnly and impressively j conducted on May 23rd, by her pas- j ; tor, Rev. J. N. Wright, .'at. Shilob, * church where her remains, were laid to rest beside her beloved husband, there to await the resurrection of the just. ; 1 She remembered her creator in the i i days of her youth and at an early i age attached herself to the Metho- 1 dist Episcopal Church, South, of j 1 which she remained a faithful and 1 J consistent member to the end. < As the scent of the roses -will hang round j ' xne vase, i j Tho' in pieces all broken and shattered j it lies. { So the waters of Lethe can never erase j ] The Jond mem'ries, which as burning incense arise. ( Many friends will long cherish her memoiy ' well, < And in fond recollection the years will recall, ' When her sweet name, like music, threw round it a spell, And her smile, like a halo of brightness did fall. She was descended from one of the oldest, most wealthy and influen- I tial families in Lexington county and, J indeed, her ancestors, who were i German and English, were among 1 the first settlers?the pioneers of this f country, some of whom were actively ! ] engaged in the American Revolution ! ] and who helped to gain the indepen- j $ dence of this great Republic. On the < maternal side coursed through her J veins the blood of South Carolina's wrPfttPRt, dfluprhter. the vouthful hero- ( h * o ine Emily Geiger. Her husband, also, | < was an heir to this proud heritage. ^ When the ominous cloud cf war I darkened our suDny land and the plow share was laid aside for the sword, her five brothers left their beautiful home and went forth to battle for Southern rights. Two of them, Maj. Jacob G. and Lieut. James D. Wolfe, gave their lives to their country; the remaining three fought from Sumter to Appomattox and only returned when the "Conquered Banner' was furled forever. During those dark and never-to beforgotten days, her widowed mother remained at home with her little daughter, and under the protection only of her faithful and numerous slaves, managed, in a superior manner, her plantation as well as her household. She lived to welcome bom9 her three sons that God, in bis mercy, bad spared her, orly one of whom survives and who still carries Bmbedded in his arm the minnie ball with which he was wounded at the oattle of Cold Harbor. He and the ittle sister (now Mrs. H. C. Franck) ire left to mourn the dear one just departed. Seven children, two daughters Mis Elizabeth Leaphart and Mrs. Darrie Nunamaker) five sons, twenty *rand children, six great grand children and a large number of relatives >nd friends are left to mingle their ;ears ever the bier of the sainted lead. May they all find grace suffi 'ient to sustain them in this their ;our of great bereavement, and may hey remember that, "Severed hearts iball be united in that blessed homeand?heaver!'' May her children be enabled to ex:laim, as did their mother: UI know hat my Redeemer liveth." Aod at ast, when they, too, are called to go, n that tar-away beautiful laud may they meet, When the vict'ry is won and the battle is o'? r, /v Here tneir lovea ones ana ioss ones m heaven will greet, And the tie that wiil bind them will be severed no more.

The following description of a touching incident of the Chattanooga ceremonies, was written by Colonel I Rlor,r! irtrr fo nno nf Viio flrrflnd rtftlioh iyiauu?u^ tu vuv \/* I ters who kindly gave it to the press for publication: One cf the most appropriate and pathetic incidents at Chickamauga happened at the beginning of the ! ceremony of the unveiling of the monument. It was truly typical of two leading thoughts of the occasion ?war, peace. General Capers, a noble specimen of the South Carolina soldier of 1863, ; still full cf the fire of patriotism, had reached the last clause cf his address; up to this moment he was the representative of war and carnage, of ' man's inhumanity to man." But one thing more was to be said or j done. He called for the four little girls who were to unveil the monument. The second brought forward was little Ethel, grand daughter of General Walker in command of the j South Carolina U. C. Veterans, who had been in battles from Gettysburg t<-? rj-.l^cctrin SVio vena on hrioVif on one of the gay flowers that bedecked ; the battlefield. Her childish timidity j made her shrink back till she was hidden by two of her compeers; and as she could not be seen, Col. Holmep, A.. A. G. pulled a chair to stand her on it, when General Capers, j prompted by his big, but tender | heart, picked her up in bis stalwart ! arms, held her aloft, the perfect type j of peace and purity; and himself, now converted from the stern warrior to the man of God, proclaimed by actions louder than words, "Peace on esrth, gocd will toward men." "Of such is the kingdom of heaven." The contrast was so impressive j that tears flowed freely down the i bronzed cheeks of many old veterans, i Would that eome poet had been presj ent to pen a companion picture to that, in "The Peri at the Gates of | Paradise," of the rough warrior, a : prostrate penitent, and the Peri flying to the Heaven's Chancery with 1 the muttered prayer and demanding j admittance as bearing the gift most | acceptable to the God of mercy. Those of us who have followed wars, now that the fires of youth have burnt out do hate bloodshed and love ; the peaceful fireside. { Standing, as we were, under the shadow of a magnificent monument : to so many of the Confederato dead of South Carolina, and in view of grander monuments to many more of the gallant dead of our former Fede, ral foes, with the Stars and Bars and | Stars and Stripes floating above our i heads, General Capers, representative j of the one, aDd General Boynton of ; the other, graBped hande, with the | little girl, the dove of peace, uncon; sciously chantiDg the refrain in words | inaudible, but louder than could fall j from her cherub lips, "I come, I come! j the Angel of Peace to cement this i bond of brotherly love between fori mer foes." May the incident be truly typical j of the future of this great republic. 1 I sincerely hope that Colonel Hender! son may prove as true a prophet as | he is a great orator, when in capping J the climax of soul stirring thoughts, 1 which crowded each other so closely j through his address, he declared, this mighty, reunited people can never again be divided into hostile . ranks?the great republic of States never again be separated one from I the other?nevermore; nevermore!" : Chattanoga.

The Piatt Amendment Swallowed. i HabaDa June 12.?The Cuban con' n i i stitutional convention today accepted ! the Piatt amendment by a vote of 1G | to 11. A resolution to accept was carried without discussion. Irame diateiy after the opening of the Session Senores Tayamo, Villuendas and Quesada, constituting a majority of the committee on relations, submitted as a substitute for the committee's former report the Piatt amendment as passed by Congress, recommending that it be accepted and made an appendix to the constitution. The news of the adoption of the : Piatt amendment by the Cuban con; stitutional convention was received I with genuine gratification in Washington. The admistration officials i all along have felt confident that its ! ratification would be accomplished when the Cubans realized that this government was firm in its attitude regarding the amendment and that j its acceptance would be necessary before the United States would ccn| sent to withdraw its supervision frcm ! XTr\rrr P.!lV\Qnfl have demonstrated their good faith I in the United States it is expected that a fairly speedy evacuation of { the island will follow, contingent only upon the establishment of a stable government in the ieland.

Since creeds are fashionable, it will be a good idea for farmers to adopt one and strictly observe it. Following is a farmers' creed said to have been furnished by Henry Ward Beecher sixty years ago, when he was editing the Indiana Farmer: We believe in email farms and thorough cultivation. We believe the soil loves to eat as well as its owner, and ought therefore to be liberally fed. We believe in large crops which leave the land better than they found it?making the farmer and the farm both glad at once. We believt in going to the bottom of thiDgs, and therefore, in deep plowing, and enough of it. All the better with a sub soil plow. We believe that every farm should own a gcod farmer.

Without ibis, lime and gypsum, bones and ?reen manure, marl and guano will ae of little use.
