hour and lift high the song of praise
for you and your dead comrades. You
bore the awful shock of suffering and
battle and through the deadloug night j
of civil war, unflinching, saw the bitterness
of death and blood.
Shall we not have a part in th?
strains that tell your heroism for a
beloved Dixie and our pure gratitude
to you? You are survivors 01 a nngnty
conflict and the ^mnants of a devoted
band, and in your honored company
our lips and souls, unused as
* yet to lofty themes, would learn from
you and your example how to sing the
song of high courage and disinterested
virtue and to be brave in the day of
danger.
Southern Soldiers, Men and Fathers,

ours surely when we recall the glad
release for you from the wretchedness
of that strife in which you shed your
blood for home and country. And may
that day be bright, more effulgent far
than this, in which you shall hear the
captain's voice call you on high to take
* your places in the now waiting ranks
r?f vour brethren in Heaven!

Hush! They're coram'! Don't you hear
'em?
Hear the rhythm of their tread?

See the banner overhead?

When ihe war and time worn heroes,

In the gray uniforms go by?
Don't your soul swell up within you,
With a rapture you can't tell,
When the band starts playing "Dixie,"
Don't you yant to up and yell?
An' go chargin' them old heroes,
An' go shaking of each hand,
Or stand quiet, with your hat off,

On this Memorial day, we, the children

want to bring our greetings to the
veterans here who wore the gray.
We greet you as those who have
heard of the fame of the brave men
who left their homes to fight and bleed
and die upon the battlefield.
We greet you because you followed
such men as Lee and Jackson, and
did your best to win the victory.
We greet you, soldiers, who learned
to do your duty in the face of rattling
musketry and booming cannon.

We greet you as children who want
to keep alive the memory of the courage
of our fore-fathers in the time of
war, without remembering the bitterness.
We greet you, old men, whose Hair

will not forget you nor the great host
that have already heard the last bugle

May his son in blue prove him as true,

As the man in gray fought for defeat

throughout Southern Louisiana today
cheered the hearts of those who are
concerned over the high flood stages
of the Mississippi river. State and
federal engineers announced that the
few reports received today from points
north of New Orleans where gangs are
repairing levees were encouraging, although
it was admitted that the situa

But glory keeps step by his side,
When he rests above in the tents of
love,
May his spirit with us abide.

At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Columbia, Newberry &

offices here yesterday, J. F.
Livingston of this city was elected general
manager and acting president to i
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of W. G. Childs. A president could
not be elected under the boy-laws of
the company until the regular stockholders
meeting in the fall. Those

A committee was appointed to draft

to be presented at the next meeting.
The news of the promotion of Mr.
Livingston will be received with pleasure
by his hosts of friends in Columbia
and in t'he upper part of the State,
where he is well known. Mr. Livingston's
railroad career dates back 20
years, when he began work in the Columbia
office of the old South Carolina
railroad (now the Charleston division
of the Southern). He was later made
agent for the Columbia, Newberry &
Laurens road at Newberry, and in 1895
was transferred as agent of the same
road at Columbia. Later he was
made commercial agent 01 ims roau,
and the Atlantic Coast Line jointly,
which positions he held at the time of
his election Friday. Mr. Livinnston
for a long time was the confidential
assistant and right-hand man to Mr.
Childs, the president of the road, and
his promotion is natural, as he is already
in close touch with every deparment
of the business.

The cotton chopper can be pullec

BRYAN INVADES OHIO

lay, Ohio, that friends of Gov. Harmon
had sought to purchase Bryan-pledged
delegates to the 1908 convention, stirred
the Ohio executive'to a telegraphic
denial today and brought from Mr.
Bryan the publication of the letter on
which he says the charges are based.
The letter was made public here by
^ 1 ^ ,A/^_
Harvey liaroer, who saiu it ??> addressed
to State Senator Frank T.
Dore, of Tiffin. It was signed Michael
Devanney, of Cincinnati, and was in
part:
"Cincinnati, June 29, 1908.
"Dear Sir: In a conference with
our mutual friend, Mr. ,
of he advised me you were in
touch with the two delegates from
the district He advised that
you see Mr. , of , and have
him see the delegates of that place,
whose name he did not remember and
have him, together with Mr. , of
, meet Mr. at Columbus
on the evening of July 2, so that arrangements
may be made for the trip
to Denver.
Mr. , of Cincinnati, will meet
them and take care of their transportation
to Denver.

, you will see there is "something do.
in' and whilst endorsements have been

( ballot at Denver."
Mr. Garber is a member of the "Dem:
ocratic national committee. He de;
clined to .nake known the names ol
. those involved in the letter.
Gov. Harmon today sent a teiegram
to Col. Bryan denying cl arges made
by Mr. Bryan that friends of the governor
had tried to purchase Bryan
delegates in 1908. He said:
"I repeat that no one authorized bj
me or with my knowledge or consenl
ever tried to purchase delegates. ]
never heard of such a thing except
I
from your statement yesterday. Ai
, the date you mentioned I had accept
ed the nomination for governor anc
r was making no effort for the presidi
ential nomination. If you have a let5
ter showing what you say, why don't
- you publish it? The people are enI
titled to the facts and I wish them tc
be known."

r Cincinnati, May 9.?Michael Devan1
ney, campaign manager for Gov. Har"
mon, made an emphatic denial tonighl
I of the charges brought against him b)
; Wm. J. bryan.
3 Mr. Devanney, however, did not den}
1 writing the letter, but said that h<
" would have nothing to say until h<
f saw it.
""When Mr. Bryan says that I at
s tempted to purchase delegates in Ohic
for Governor Harmon," said Mr. Devanney,
"he is telling a plain, unvar
j nished lie, for never, either directly oi
indirectly, was there any attempt mad<
by me to purchase any delegates foi
anybody."
g For Wilson in Ohio.
Lima, Ohio, May 9.?Wm. J. Bryar
_ last night spoke to a large audienc<
here in denunciation of Judson Har
mon as prince of reactionaries.
"I am for Wilson in Ohio," Mr. Bry
an said, "but I am for Clark wherevei

want to make my statement as stronj
as possible. When the governor of <
great State deliberately repudiates th<
platform of his party, as Harmon die
in opposing the initiative and referen
dum he becomes unworthy to have anj

Mr. Bryan referred to President Taf
as a "political bankrupt."

partraent of agriculture, who was in
party from Columbia on Friday to attend
the meeting of the boys' corn.
club, is very much interested and very
enthusiastic on the subject of growing \
vetch. He says that it is the most imporant
crop which the farmers in this
county should grow and that it grows
as well here as anywhere, and in fact,
he says that Mr. Welch Wilbur last
year had one of the finest fields of
vetch that he has ever seen. Mr. A.
D. Hudson also grew some fine vetch.
Mr. Wilbur has a number of acres in
vetch this year though it is probably
not quite as good as the crop was last
year. In company with Mr. S. M. Duncan,
demonstration agent, and the visitors
from Columbia, we drove out to
Mr. Wilbur's farm on Friday afternoon.
This is the first time that we
have had the pleasure of visiting this
farm. Mr. Wilbur is a model farmer
and it would pay every farmer in this
county to make a visit to this farm and
see what he is doing. Mr. Wilbur is
not a Ncotton farmer, but grows fine
corn, vetch, aua aUo in connection
witn his brother conducts a model
-dairy.
He had just installed on Friday afternoon
a twenty-horse power gasoline
motor plow, the only one of its kind
that we know of in the county. It
was at work preparing some land that
was in corn last year which Mr. Wilbur
says he intends putting in cotton
this year. The work was satisfactory.
it travels about' as fast as an
' ordinary mule and does about the
work of twelve mules and as many
hands. When the motor is not in use
i for plowing, it will be utilized in run!
ning other machinery on the place. Mr.
Wilbur deserves commendation for
l another thing which is necessary to
pleasant and comfortable life in the
r country, and that is, he keeps the pubt
