Some action should be taken by Ai

tension of the Cumberland Gap road
to meet the Knoxville road that is
soon to show its head over the moun
tains via Kabun Gap. Charleston is
backing a route but it leaves Aiken

most direi-t route conies by Aiken and
the matter should be properly agita
ted.- Viken Journal end Review.
Well said, contemporary, and a road
from Edgefield to McCormick, about
22 miles, would give us, Aiken and
Edgefield, not only a connection with
the Knoxville road of which you speak
but with several other roads, the Sea
board Air Line among others. What
say you brother Carpenter of the Mc
Cormick Times, shall we build tIn
road ?-E d ge 1 i e 1 d Advert i se r.
Yes, let's build it. We bilieve that
if the Knoxville road is built they will
use the Savannah Valley road from
here to Anderson, which is in the
hands of a receiver and is soon to be
sold, and they will then doubtless
want to go by Edgefield and Aiken on
to Port Royal. Orin case the Knox
ville road comes by Abbeville, the

?nd then our Aiken and Edgefield
friends would have direct connection
with three of the most important
southern systems. Talk up the mat

ple interested, and we assure you that
when called upon McCormick will
respond with a liberal subscription for
the road.-McCormick Times.
[For the Advertiser.]
Why, Oh Why! A Few Points
Pithily Put.
EDITOR ADVERTISER: Please an
swer a few questions for the sat
isfaction and general information
of the public :
1st. Why will some run down at
the heel anti papers continue to
nag and insult, reformers and then
clamor for peace? 2nd, Why are
some pop-gun editors of these anti
sheefs so rejoiced over the recent
decision of the United States
court and claim that the law was
a crime when the framers of that
law are their ring leaders? 3rd.
How can some peopto claim to he
full of patriotism and shout Hal
lelujah when the laws of their
State are violated, or set aside hy
some federal authority, and are
decrying and fighting their State
administration?
4th. Why is South Carolina so
far ahead of any other southern
state in manufacturing? And why
are the bonds of South Carolina
selling at such a high premium
is it because the antis are so pa
triotic?
5th. Has Judgo G?ll* repented of
his sin and bad conduct in Wil
mington North Carolina in 1805,
when he was in command ol* that
run-away-negro brigade which was
such a terror to the defenseless
women and children of that grand
old city?
Gth. Do the antis know that this
same Golf was always a strong ab
olitionist and that he was egged
on hy some whom we South Caroli
nians delighted to honor in days
pass'-d?
7tb. Why has Columbia lost tho
Slate fair, was it because the
"State" did not want the country
people to come there ann did all
it could to drive them away
by calling them idiots eic.
8th. Do the editors of some
newspapers think the Reform pol
iticians are afraid to speak in
public upon the situation?
9th. Where were all the smart
Elie anti growlers in "76." Are
they anxious for those Irving limes
to return so that they may seek a
safe hiding place like they did al
that lime?
10th. Why vas Charleston cut
oft" in the black district? And why
did those Cbarlestoiiians try to
kec,> our State officers from re
funding the State debt at 4$ per
cent, and why did the majority of
the antis wag their heads whenev
er the State gained a case in court?
11th. Why oh why will some
I ?i>( ii* en!! list h:?'-!V.8 men-f
born straight autis,'act ro strange
ly. Verily it is strange.

** Lorena.
Greenville Newe.
The memorial day exercises at
Anderson the other day included
the singing of ''Lorena." Proba
bly the majority of those who were
prosent had never heard the song
before, "'Tis years since first we
met, Lorena." The people who
used to sing and whistle "Lorena,"
who knew and loved every note
and word of it, in whose heads
and hearts it rang, are passing
away from here in increasng
numbers every year now. It will
not be so very long uutil the last
of them bas gone, but we hope it
will b?i a long, long lime before
.'Lorena" is inst.
In the River of Time, sung of
in one of the sweetest and niosl
majestic brief poems in the En
glish language, there is, we are
told, aii island of Long Ago in
which things broken but made
beautiful by memory and love,
forgotten by the many but prec
ious to some hearts, linger aud
live a life of their own. There are
fragments of songs which nobody
sings, pressed aud dried and with
ered flowers with^volumes of love .
and loss and longing "and infiui
ties of pathos folded within their
poor, lifeless petals-flowers which
bring back the fragrance of days
which tbs years have swept into
the far past, of the gardens of sea
sons long gone. There are rib
Irons and gloves and buttons and
broken toys of children, large and
small, locks of hair and fading
pictures. Probably the songs
which nobody sings live longest.
Their melodies are woven among
the heart strings. Considered as
works of art few of them, we sup
pose, would be very highly valued
by skilled musicians. The works
of the masters are immortal, but
the numb*?r who can understand
them will always be limited.
The bumbler composers who make
the popular songs reach the pop
ular heart, and confer the bless
ings of love and hope and memory
on multitudes.
We do not know that there is much
in "Lorena." It. will never be a
classic. Probably tho writer of it
had no thought it would live long.
But it was boru in time of trouble
and chauge when sentiment and
passion were strong and hearts
were vibrant to impressions and
impulse. Like a melodious echo
from a dream-an echo ti tender
sentiment, of pathos and vain
longing and lost hope-"Lorena"
comes faintly, part of a vanished
past which seems so unreal now
that we may hardly understand
that it was not a fleeting vision.
The old life of the South was just
breaking and departing as the
beautiful clouds of sunset time
fade into the n.ght. The long
pr-'uee was ended and men gather
ed from thousands of bornes, each
carrying with him'memories and
hopes. In the camps where the
soldiers gathered about the fires
each heart had in it the pictures of
familiar scenes and loved faces
left behind, for they had all left
home, many of them for the first
time. Around all the camp fires
voices sang of "Lorena." The
bands played it and where there
were pianos and the harps which
used to stand in the corners of
parlors its notes floated upon the
air from beneath white fingers.
As months went by and battles
were fought and marches made, as
the armies struggled and the tide
of war rolled hore and there,
'L -rena" lived, and tho tattered
and worn and scarred veterans
without tents, blaukets or food
sang it. To the very last, all
through the last days when hope
gave pince to grim desperation
and the black cloud of defeat gath
ered ever closer and blacker, the
men sang "Loi ena" as so many
who would sing no more, whose
lips were silenced and whose stur
dy hearts were cold forever, had
sung it,and to the last it carried
thoughts back and enveloped souls
in the mists of tender memories.
So "Lorena" comes now to thou
sands like a faint, far away, me
lodious echo from brave bright
days, from youth departed, from
hopes which have gone long ago,
from a life of which nothing re
main* but m^m ri'-s. Ii brings
with it the restfulness ol the old
South and many a glimpse of
things once so familiar, now so
strange and so distant, encom
passed with a dreamy haze like
that of an Indian Summer. A
love song, very simple in words
and composition, each note and
word of it is freighted with
thoughts of camp and battle and
comrades, of storm and battle
smoke and danger and happiness.
It is a song from a dead country,
a dead army and a dead past. *
. * We hope somebody
will always sing "Lorena" now and
then. We do not know who
''Lorena" was. Like the singing
of Annie Laurie, each heart recall
ed a different name with "Lorena."
The story of it is ordinary enough.
Perhaps that is why the song was
loved so-so many men could hear
or sing "Lorena" and understand
all about it and respond to its
measure with their own experi
ences and knowledge. Everybody
could learn it and in the days
when all of us ill the South were
dreaming dreams destined never
to be realized and hoping for
things impossible everybody knew
it.
