Time will soon remove from us a
type of character that is respected
and loved, not only by the children
but by the elderly ones as well..the
faithful and kindly old negro "mam
my." There is scarcely a person of
the past generation who has not
known the love of such a mammy,
and her passing away is a real sorrow.
Such is the case in the death of good
Mammy Margaret Cobb, who lived
for many years with the LoMs. She
had been in the employ of Mrs. P. N.
Lott for thirty years, and proved her
self a good Christian woman. Her
death occurred on Saturday evening.

during the coming week. The money
for this was subscribed by the mem

on hand. The chapter was delighed to
have several prospective members,
and one new one reported. Plans
were made for Memorial day for
which a sermon is to be preached on
Sunday afternoon, May ll, 1919.
The Children of the Confederacy had
a fine report, as given by the leaders,
Misses Holland and Abrams, the re
cent meeting being held with Miss
Loisa Watson. Their chief work will

half of the funds being on hand.

Visit to Sfate Capitol in Boston.

Dear Adverser :
An Englishman made this comment
about the: Massachusetts State Capi
tol, "Far,t|(e most beautiful city in
America, asearas I have seen is Bos
ton, and the|(State House is the most
beautiful ini.>the country. At Wash
ington, ?t:?AJbany, at Chicago, and
elsewhere, you see much grander and
more co3tty;8tructure, but this is per
fect in tast<f and proportion. The sit
uation is nope and has been made the
best of." ~
Charles-, bulfinch, the architect of
the Capitol was also the architect of
the Capitol^?t Washington. Th J glis
tening, gUdcid dome is visible a long
distance aw?y and a visit to the inte
rior is waU worth the time of even a
historian.,'or . teacher. Massachusetts
has the largest State reference li
brary of any-of the other states in
the Union. { I walked through the li
brary. There were shelves for every
state, but since South Carolina was
represented^ only by huge volumes
containing laws and reports, I didn't
bother to take the books from the
shelves. We are all secretly bored by
reports even from our own state and
I didn't expect to come in contact
with any of its laws. I was interested
in the battle flags and historical mu
ral paintings..
Memorial Jlall, near the center of
the building, has a circular gallery a
bove supported by marble col?mnns.
In four -niches in opposite sides of
the* rooms are groups of richly color
ed battle flags carried by the volun
teers in the War Between the States.
Though every now and then we see
relics or monuments in reference to
the late Civil War, the trophies and
statues more often have reference to
the war of American Indepe idence.
One picture-represents Paul Revere
hurrying thraagh-the village calling
"the country-folk to be up and to
arms." Anj)therjs_ a picture of th.2
jgds^;;3?i^aft,fjpas the -' a^t-vp;ef
turedit to-be, with the cofbnist dis
guised as Indians. Certainly our fore
fathers did their uprising pictures
quely. A few days ago I saw the spot
where the Tea Party took place. The
place is now dry land, since the beean
I has been pushed out and the street
?built up so that the exact scene of the
I Tea Party has been covered. A bronze
?slab is the only mark and by the dim
I light I could just read the inscription.
?The verse was rather funny." I re
member the gist of it ran something
I like this, "never was such a drink
?compounded as the colonist brewed
and the tyrant" drank that night in
I Boston harbor." Certainly, at least,
{they drank the humility of being sur
prised by the restless patriots. We re
I call that George the Third was a Ger
jman and that a great many of his
British disagreed with him, so that af
ter all our grievance was with Ger
many and not with England. The At
lantic Ocean washes the shores of
?many states, but who shall say that
Massachusetts and South Carolina
are not among the greatest? Daniel
Webster said : "Let me recur to pleas
ing recollections, let me remind you
?that in early times no States cherish
ed greater harmony both of principle
land feeling than Massachusetts and
?South Carolina."

KIL?.S THE COUGH. CUKES THE LUNGS-'
John E. Agner Sends Interest
ing Letter to His Mother.
March 3, 1919.
My Dear Mother:
How are you all today? This
leaves me feeling1 fine, and we are
having some pretty weather over here
now. I 'sent you all some souvenirs
recently, which I hope you received.
I received your letter written on the
9th of February, and was glad to
hear, but sorry to know that you were
not getting on so well. It looks as if
you and Papa are having a right
tough time. You say that Sister is
coming down to stay a while and help
you. Mother, I am sending yod a list
. of the places where the Third Bat
talion of the 81st Division, has been.
I was with them all the time, except
while I was in the hospital, and I am
still in the 'company which I came
from the States with. They have just
called the roll of those who have
mail, and I have a letter from you.
I am sorry to hear that Aunt Sallie
is sick. I am sending you some post
cards. You notice the building where
?the cross mark can be seen. There
are two large trees near it, and that
(building is our Y. M. C. A., and where
j I go to school every evening. The
i other cross mark ?hows the street on
\ which I walk post, 2 hours on and 4
'off. I saw Tom Burnett and George
?DeLaughter a few days ago. They
j were well, and were telling me about
i Jim being at home.
I have not seen Bill Doch or Fred
|Mims and do- not know where they
;are. I know where George Miller and
Earle Prince are, but it is too far for
me to go to see them. I met one of the
boys from McCormick a few days
'ago. He asked me if I knew Mr. Har
jvely at Modoc. I told him I did and
?that I only lived within five miles of
i him and knew all the rest of the peo
ple around there. I must have talked
with him an hour and a half.
Names of places I have visited:

A Poem.
The Lord watch between me and
thee, when we are absent one from
another. Gen. 31:49.
,'Go thou thy way and I go mine:
Apart,;yet not afar;
. Only - a thin., veil hangs ..between
The pathway' where We arel
And 'God keep watch 'tween the?'
and me,*
This is my prayer.
He looks thy way, He looketh mine,
And keeps us near. /
I know not where thy road may lie,
Or which way mine will be;
If mine will lead through parching
sand,
And thine beside the sea:
Yet 'God keep watch 'tween three
and me,'
So never fear;
He holds thy hand, He claspeth mine
And we are near.
Should wealth and fame perchance
.be thine,
And my lot lowly be:
Or you be sad and sorrowful,
And glory be for me:
Yet 'God keep watch 'tween thee
and me,'
Both be His care.
One arm 'round thee, and one 'round
me,
Will keep us near.
I sigh sometimes to see thy face,
But since this may not be,
I'll leave thee to the care of Him,
Who cares for you and me.
"I'll keep thee both beneath my
wing"
This domforts, dear.
One wing o'er thee, and one o'er me,
So we are near.
And though our paths be separate,
And thy way is not mine,
Yet coming to the mercy seat,
My soul will meet with thine,
And 'God keep watch 'tween thee
and me,'
I'll whisper there. .
He blesseth thee, He blesseth me
And we are near."
