NIGHT
By Grace Noll Crowell
Thank God for night—with its great
gift of sleep—
More wonderful than all His gifts to
men:
For stars that walk the dream-ways
and that keep
Their wide-eyed watch until dawn
breaks again;
Thank God for blessed silence down
the land,
More soothing than the drip of sum
mer rain;
For darkness—soft and cool as some
dear hand
Laid on a forehead feverish with pain.

Oh, only those who carry sleepless
scars
And know how sweet sleep is that
comes at last.
And only the eyes that have looked
long at stars
Have learned night’s secret as it
marches past;
Have learned to know how quiet God
must keep
To guide an earth through stars—
that men may sleep.

formally made today by H. C. Miller

J. R. Thomas, held in the county jail
here charged with poisoning and
drowning his son, Maxie Thomas, 15,
that the body of the boy be exhumed
for further examiation of its vital or
gans.
The petition was made before Judge
M. L. Bonham, and was unopposed by
Solicitor Leon W, Harris, who named
one physician to join with another
I named by defense counsel in a post-
j mortem.
I Maxie Thomas’ body was taken
I from the Saluda river on the night of
July 30, after he and his father had'
gone on a fishing trip. Thomas ex
plained that his son had fallen fi*om
a rock in the river and drowned be
fore he could reach him.
In an investigation that followed,
showing Maxie’s life was insured for
more than $30,000, the boy’s father
was arrested on a warrant sworn out
by Coroner J. M. Clark. At the coro
ner’s inquest. State Chemist Robert
son testified that traces of poison
were found in the viscera of the dead
youth.
Thomas, in his petition through
counsel to the court, alleged that “in
the circumsatnces in which the exami
nation of the viscera was made, that
the result thereof could not be relied
upon as accurate, dependable or con
clusive.” Contention was made that in
addition to the stomach various other
vital organa should be examined for
traces of poison if the test was to be
considered accurate and definite.

or absence of poison in the said body;
and that said physicians be further
authorized and directed to carefully
and properly seal said parts so re
moved, and personally transport and
'deliver the same, under seal, to a
competent chemist, designated by the

FURNITURE
TO AN IDEAL
PAINTING by Rembrandt, a chair by Chip
pendale ... each is something more than just
a painting or just a chair. They* are the work of
masters.
we call yomr
particular attention
to the new creations
by Simmons. tA spe
cial display in The
^eds and ^eddin^
department
But all of the masters c!;d not live in the past.
There are painters today whose works will one day
be "old masters." And there are cabinet makers as
good as Chippendale.
And these craftsmen of today . . . they, too, are
building furniture to an ideal.
Of such furniture are our stocks composed.
