OUR CONFEDERATE DEAD. (JWritten fo- Morial Day.) Beneath their country's Sacred Sod. Their wars forever ended; Our soldiers rest, their soul's with God, With earth their bodies blended. On distant fields amid the pines, Where winds are softly sighing; There side by side in long dark lines, Confederate soldiers are lying. No roll or drums, no call to arms, The solemn silence breaking; No clash of steel, no rude alarms, The woodland around awaking. Their guns are covered o'er with rust, Their banners now are trailing; Their cause is mingled with thei2 -dust, Their valor not availing. No sentry tramps his lonely beat His anxious outlook keeping; For reasting are those weary feet, And he is sleeping, sleeping. But o'er them Nature holds her reign, And guards them in her slumber For all attendants in her train Act sentinels without number. At early morn the bright sun beams Light up the leaves so tender That each dew-drop upon them seems To shine with martial splendor When night relieves the lingering day, To watch the earth io vernal; Then brightly gleams the milkj way '-'i'at Bar of Stars eternal. No vision of the morrow's strife The warrior's dream alarms; No braying horn, nor screamin fife At dawn shall call to arms. A id when the last dread trum] shall sound O'er fields far-famed in story, An army formed upon thii ground Shall march straight on to glory -J. H. N. White Oak, May 6, 1901. THE HISTORIC SUANNEE RIVER ( Written for The News and Herai This noted stream has its source among the marshes. and morasses of the Okeefinokee swamp in the southern part of Georgia. From here it winds its way tly-ough the best, most fertile, most valuable lands of sub-tropical middle Flor ida, until it empties itself, in creased by many of the most beautiful springs that ever bub bled from mother earth, into the grand old Gulf of Mexico. Come with me now with your imagination and let's take a fly ing sail down one of the most poetic streams that adorns this terrestial ball; one that is not - ~ surpassed in grandeur by the Rhine with its vine-clad hills, nor by the Moselle with its trans parent waters. As we have but a limited time to make this voyage we will not launch our boat at its source, but at White Springs, about seventy-five miles from its m'outh. At this little town is one of tha many medical springs that empty their health-giving waters in the river. Now our boat is launched and all ready. We glide along on the smart surface of the clear water ini such an ecstatic manner that we are compelled to forget the trials and troubles of this life, and ask ourselves, "What is life .but ease?" It is now that we think ol the rough and perilous passage down the stream of Time, and almost shed a tear when we think of the contrast of that stream, and the ever-inspiring Suannee. A soft zephyr now fills our sails and we glide rapidly past flowers, massive pines, huge oaks and forests of all kinds. Now we come to a portion of the river which is straight. We look forward and the water looks as if it was one large mirror, with its smoothe sur face decorated here and there with superb mermaids' water lilies, and as if it was framed by rich green forests of magnolia and che beautiful restless river in front of us pants along the level stretcher and dodges around the good natured shoulders of the hills. The water ripples and sings below us, and out on the sunny, sandy curves the beautiful'-silver finned fish are taking a bath in the golden sunlight. By this time we have the real laziness of spring in our yains and would like to stop for .a rest. But we must move along as rapidly a our boat will take us'becadse we will soon have to stop for the night. We now travel about ten miles down the same easy, quiet flowing river, and between the same grand irregular banks that we have fol lowed since launching, until we get to our place for a silent night's repose. This stopping place is one of the many beauties of the stream Suannee Springs. These springs are near the little city of Live Oak. There is a fine hotel and bathing house here. The forestry around the place is mainly live oak trees, growing here and there in natural irregularity, with mel ancholy drapery of long grey moss. The rest and stillness of a Jew ish Sabbath prevails everywhere, and the old moss-draped oaks in our imagination are much the same in stateliness of appearance as the historic tree under which Abraham entertained the angel. Conversation at Suannee Springs is always carefully modulated in tone, never argumentive in char acter, and rarely animated in ex pression or interest. The river flows by in silence. The old mule that pulls the car to meet the train at a distant trunk line station, hangs his head when at rest between trips as if in mel ancholy meditation on the wor ries of the outlying world from which he is restfully isolated. The spring is a pool of the clearest and purest sulphur water. We walk up to the palacial hotel, registor. order supper and rooas, and after drinking heavily of the (Spring water,) repair to dining room. The waiters here all negroes-black, sleek, fat and shiny-dressed in uniform. They perform their duties with as much dignity a'nd leisurely deliberation as a U. S. Supreme judge. We now begin supper. Some order ox tail soup; some a slice of the other end of the animal, perhaps the tongue; some other dishes of Florida luxuries. All the while a negro waiter, dressed as fine as a fiddle, washed, combed, and shaved as clean as a whistle stands by to receive or ders. We do not know their names, but they look so stylish, clean and sweet that the nicer, more fastidious portion of our crowd fairly primp their mouths to call them honey. After supper we went at once to our respective rooms, as the long day's ride made the thoughts and 1ooks or" our beds quite agreeable. We awoke at early morn, while out across the river the owls were hooting, we felt as if we could remain there in our beds for an age; but we must arise and con tinue our highly interesting voy age, so immediately after break fast we were off down the river in the refreshing coolness. We now sail more rapidly be cause wve are nearing the Gulf and the wind has more velocity. While our boat is furrowing the smoothe surface of the river, our attention is called by the appearance of a magnificent mansion just away fromn the bank. Beyond this man sion is a vast farm. On this the old negro who composed the song, "Way Down Upon de Suannee Riber," worked during his younger eriod of life. After we pass this place, we see several historic towns along the banks. We now come to the broad mouth, and just as the famous old alchemist is touched with magic fingers the grey robes of the sky, we glide alongside the dock at the beautiful port of Cedar Keys and receive a warm welcome by the mosquitoes. I remarked to a gentleman just before we had started our sail that I thought the mosquitoes very annoying. He said, "These are just mosquitoes here, they are galinippers lower down, and they are hell-rippers at Cedar Keys, and can bite a pumpkin to the hollow every pop." He did not exaggerate.

THE SUF1MER SCHOOL. An Opinion of the Programme That is Worth Something. To the Editor of The State.r I have recently receives the eading it I am moved to express y profound thankfulness that ~uch an oppcrtunity can be of ered to the teachers of South Jarolina. The variety and scope f the instruction and the distin uished ability of the instructors ould not easily be surpassed any where-it is a rare good fortune hat such a course of studies, at mee scientific and practical could ave been secured from as many rained experts of the highest eputation. It is a privilege for all our teachers, which none should 2eglect, to attend such a school; and it is an honor to the State ,hich could provide such oppor unities, as well as to the woman's ollege which has so generously offered its large hospitality. I do not wish to speak of dis redit duo to those who have rganized this summer school, for that is needless, but I would note the rapid advance in our public school work when such a school can be conceived and realized, ad-best of all-draw a crowded attendance. This is a fact, and n omen, of the highest signifi ance. Debarred as I am now, y special misfortune, from any ersonal participation, I wish still to express my deep interest n the work, and my hope that its value will be appreciated by the eople, as well as by the teachers of the State.
