Mr. Editor: It stems probable that old Fairfield will show the white feather in .h3 matter of volunteers for the Cuban war. Th:3 was not to be j expected of a county which ha3 heretofore been high up amongst the foremost in the Revolutionary war, in the war of 1812, ia the Florida war, in the Mexican war and in the la3t bloody conflict for States rights. In all these i 1 1- i J rV,. wars iier peup:e were prumpi ?uu had her companies, all of which reflected honor on the old county. What change has come over the spirit of her people?" Are not the sonij of their sires still within her borders? Are they not as good as their fathers? With her throe companies of malitia which sprfcu/ so promptly into existence at tiie/all of bloody Ben Tillman, and usurped the position?, arms, and old clothe3 of companies which hesitated to butcher Carolinians at Darlington who were fighting for the fundamental principle of Ameriean liberty, for which our forefathers went to war with the mother country. Not content with this they have since borne these arms secretly to el ection precincts to slaughter brethren who differ wiih them in nolitiea'. I reDeat. it was not lo be expected that th83e thirsty warriors would flank in this crisis and make the old county what she never was before, -the laughing stock to the oatside world, atrd a term of reproach to the people of the State. Can it be that Tillmanism has changed the genius of oar people and that patriotism, valor, and honor, have given place to renegades, cat throats, and skulkers? God forbid, for one I do not believe it, but it may be well to see ourselves as sncharitable people may view us. T. W. Woodward. Ridge way, May 1st, 1898. 1 AIRFIELD'S PEN8IOX ROLL, 1898.

Tutfs Liver Phi THE PHOH1BITION QUESTION. Mr. Editor: I think that the prohibition question is the most important one demanding the attention of the Democratic party in our State. And the fact that the expression of the people at the polls in 1892 in its favor of about 12,000 majority goes to show that their wishes about their wanted measure has been ignored bo their i representatives. This is the only way I can comc in contact with my fellow Democratic friends who voted for this j in 1892, und hope that they will do I their best to remedy the wrongs of the liqaor traffic. I send you a few lines from the Universalist Herald, which it capied: Vices, remarks a contemporary, is the mo6t expensive luxury in which man indulges The expenditure for one vice arill feed and clothe a family of children. America's bill for religion i3 only $1-1,000,000. a year, while her annual liquor bill is $952,192,874. Tobacco comes next to it, $625,000,000. These two items are not only useless but deleterious, and nearly equals everything else purchased. Men complain of taxeB and then expend on two useless articles enough every year to pay tk3 national debt twice over. Abolish the saloon and times would improve. Men complain of poverty and yet they drink and burn up and chew up enough every year to make them all rich, or at least well to do. J. C. F. aster. Buckhead, April 26,1898. Many old soldiers now feel the effects of the hard service they endured during the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossville, Yorkcouoty, Penn., who 6aw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. "I had a severe attack lately," he says, and procured s bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did S3 much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as everv familv should have a bottle of it ia their home, not only for rheumatism, bat lame back, sprains, swellings, euts, braises and burns, for which it is unequalled.

It is a very creditable analysis of Longfellow's famous poem: When one to whom we are very much attached is taken from us, there is, invariably, left in our lives a void, which only time can fil], and which time itself too often fails to effectually obliterate. It was thus with Longfellow; his child, who was, no doubt, dearer than any on i' else, having died, it was only natural for him to give expression to his eommingled emotions of love, grief and sadness. This he did in his poem "Resignation," ihe sentiment and language of which is simple and earnest, j flowing directly from his grief-stricken heart". In the first two verses of this poem the purpose of Longfellow is to show forth the inevitableness of death, which mast come alike to all. There is no fireside, he says, but has a vacant chair, and no flock, however watched and defended, bat has one dead lamb. In bringing oat this idea, he does not confine himself strictly to the literal, bat makes the fact all the more forcible by jadicious- exaggeration. Longfellow, a3 a man, wa9 sympathetically human, and on account of the loss of bis child was, we may well suppose, sad and despondent. He no doubt felt "the air fall of farewells to the dying" and bis heart went out to the lost little one. By nature he was gentle, affectionate and sympathetic, easily touched by sorrow and pain; thus he was made all the more susceptible to feelings of sadness and den-? s^ion when his loved one was tak- n f.um him. Bat in it all he reaogiiizeo the fact, and expresses it in the most beantifal yet simple language, that our afflictions are fi ?m God; and that sometimes those which strike us hardest are but celestial blessings in this dark disguise. Therefore, we should exercise patience, seeing that our severest trials may be for our owr. personal good. He says that we see only diinlv through all the earthly mists and vapors which surround U6, au<i fre nnoniitr ?ro nnf. ahlA fn understand how what seem to us to be "funeral tapers" often may be the "distant lamps of Leaven." He expresses bis belief iu immortality and says that there is no death, but simply a transition; and that this mortal existence is but a suburb of that life elysian and death but the entrance from the one into the other. To him, his child is not dead, but i simply gone to be under Christ's io1 fluence and protecting care; where in the stillness and seclusion of "that > great Cloister," directed by guardian angeJ?, 9he will be free from tempta* - ? ^ t?? ?u: tion anu sin, ana yet live uu , wunc uc ' each day continue# to think of her, as - in "the brightest realms of the air3' I she pnrsues year after year her tender steps, growing each day brighter and more fair. In mind he still walks with her, thus preserving the tie which nature , had given, believing that his thoughts ' tbouyh unspoken may reach her and J be understood even where she is. t Not as a ii*tie child shall he again see her, but when in j>y slw will again be clasped !0 hi-? bosom, it will not be the same little girl whose deith had rended his heart with grief, but a fair maiden, grown iuto celestial grace and beauty; with her soul also expanded and magnified under the divine in mii vtib i r "irinirrffrir fiaenccs thrown around bcr in the "Father's mansion." Longfellow close9 the poem with the resolve that, though his heart at times, overwhelmed with long suppressed emotion and anguish, may be i ? iv ~-B i ?4. v. Ull 11JC YCI U1 VlCaHlLlg, vcu Will lie be patient and although he can not conceal, he will sanctify by silence the grief which overpowers him. While the thought throughout th? poem is not original, yet it is 6trikiag; rendered all the more so by the beautiful language which be uses. Even though be recognizes that death must come to all alike, he sees also that it to the believer is the greatest of bleisin?s 'in disguise; .1 >fppping stone, as it were, lrom Uie trials and hardships of this life to the honors and the glory of the next, where one in that "great school" will, under the influence brought to bear upon him, become more and more perfect, nn'il he shall at last have reached celestial perfection. Tbe poem's chief beauty lies in the sentiment of submission to divine authority, and also in the thought of a so much better existence beyond the grave. Tbe relation which death bear# between Ibis life and the next is also beautifully and graphically depicted, ' illustrating the argument that just as each period of our lives has its own distinctive pursuits and interests which we do not feel the lack of in the nexi period; so the time comes when all , earimy pursuits ui uasics aie luiuga uf the past, and then we hare h&d euough of life, and can leave it with as little regret as we have left each stage of it before. By tbis view death is robbed of its many imaginary terrors, and we are made (o realize more and more fully that Life is real! Life is earnest! ' And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou *rt, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Deafness Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they caunot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

Theie seems to be a great many peace soldiers in the South Carolina militia. The South Carolina militia is not coming up like we would have liked to have seen it Too many holiday soldiers in it. If you boys in uniforms and brass buttons can't stand uj> to the racket like men worthy of bearing the name of South Carolinians resign and get out and make room for others who can do so.
