The Passing of a Monarch. Red Russell's brow is clouded Red Russell's face is sad; His walk no longer stately And his smile no longer glad. His form is bent with sorrow And his shoulddrs stoop with shame. His eyes have lost their lustre Tho' his head be still a-flame. Once his voice was full of gladness, Like the warblings of a bird; But since the coming of this sadness His song is never heard. Red Russell's rule is ended, Red Russell's power is gone; For into Russell's kingdom A greater king is born. A greater man is ruling And a taller man is seen, A man whose stride more kingly is Than ever Red's has been. But, the cause for all this sorrow, And the reason for this grief? Why has Russell's power ended? Why is Red no longer chief ? This is the cause they give us; This is the reason we ee; That Wilson's height is six feet four While Red's is six feet three. R. M. T. Address of Gen. "Dilly." Special to The Gamecock. King's Mountain, Oct. 8.-Stand ing on the historic battle field of King's Mountain within a stone's throw of the new monument and near the grave of the brave Fergu soil, General C. K. "Dilly" delivered the address of the occasion, in which the general recounted the valor in the clays of old. The general was dressed very appropriately in an old Continental uniform, which showed clearly that it had seen active service in the old storly days. He wore at his side his sword presented to him for gallantry in the battle of San Juan Hill, and oil his noble breast gleamed the medals and honors re cently conferred upon him by con gress. To hear the general tell in his in imical, thrilling style the story of the battle made one almost wish that the lay of Revolutions were here once more and that we could partake of the hardships and dangers that our forefathers bore. From the eyes of the Civil war veterans tears could be seen to flow slowly down their battle scarred checks as they thought of the clays when they were in the army of Northern Virginia with Lee and Jackson. Yes, it was a great oration. It was inlspiring. General "Dilly" p)aid a b)eautiful and touching tribute to the memory of tihe slainl. IHe said, "My friends, we live ill a progressive wvorlcd and our life rulshes on like a flaming meteor through the air, b)ut we never forget to pay tribute of re spect, hlonor anld esteem to thlose brave forefathlers of ours who gave up1 thleir lives thlat we mlighlt live inl an age of peace aind quiet. 'lThus I stand today on hallowed grondc, ground that is soaked withl tile life b)loocd of our forefathers, and pay tribute to their glory and greatness. "Tile pathl of glory leads but to,the In conclusion, the general paid a tribute to the. work of the Daughters of the Revolution who have toiled so hard and earnestly to perpetuate.the history of our forefathers' battles in bronze and marble. He ended with a peroration on "the liberty of the South." The general stood on the stone that marks Col. Ferguson's grave and watched the sham battle. As the soldiers would pass him on the way to the battle line their cheers would almost shake theground and the general would acknowledge their greetings by lifting his hat and bow ing as bowed Lord Wellington or Napol'on. After the sham battle was over General "Dilly" returned to take the train to Columbia, but his steps were slow, showing that he was visibly affected by the memories of the past glorious days. -From the King's Mountain Aston isher.

A sorrow shivers in the air, And chills the heart of me At the passing of the Boneyard And the death of Silver Tea. The merry A-spots and K-boys Desport not as of yore Across the glittering festive board The Boneyard is no more. And no more Carwile Specials stir The spleen of votive youths; And no more fives top fours and cause The utterance of bare truths. The members of the P. D. A. Are scattered far and wvide, But fewv of those belovedl ones Among us still (10 hide. No more the slug horn rallies them To meet in Numb)er Two. No more ring out the b)attle cries Of that sweet rollicking crew. So heed the sorrow in the air, And join now with the Bard Who sings the death of Silver Tea, The p)assing of Boneyard. Bunco.
