A sentinel angel sitting high in glory Heard this shrill wail ring out from purgatory: "Have mercy, mighty angel; hear my story! "I loved, and, blind with passionate love, I fell. Love brought me down to death and death to bell, For God is just, and death for sin is well. "I do not rage against his high decree Nor for myself do ask that grace shall be, But for my love on earth who mourns for me. "Great Spirit, let me see my love again And comfort him one hour, and I were fain To pay a thousand years of fire and pain." f Then said the pitying angel: "Nay! Repent That wild vow! Look! The dial finger's bent Down to the last hour of thy punishment!" But still she wailed: "I pray thee, let me go! I cannot rise to peace and leave him so. Oh, let me soothe him in his bitter woe!" The brazen gates ground suddenly ajar, And upward, joyous, like a rising star, t She rose and vanished in the ether far. But soon adown the dying sunset sailing, And like a wounded bird her pinions trailing, She fluttered back, with broken hearted waiing. She sobbed: "I found him by the sumrner sea Reclined, his head upon a maiden's knee. She curled his hair and kissed him. Woe is me!" She wept: "Now let my punishment begin! I have been fond and foolish. Let me in To expiate my sorrow and my sin." The angel answered: "Nay, sad soul; go higher' To be deceived in your true heart's desire Was bitterer than a thousand years of fire!" -John Hay. I t DYNAMITE AND MINERS. Long Immunity From Accident Re- I sults In Contempt of Danger. "After a miner had handled dynamite for eight or ten years without a serious mishap it is a good idea to put him to doing something else about the works," said a gentleman of this city who has t had a great deal of experience with high c explosives. "The chances are a hundred ( to one that his long immunity from ac cident has given him such a contempt for danger that he is an unconscious menace to everybody on the premises. He will do things that not 6nly imperil his own life, but the lives of all his comrades. To give you an illustra- I tion, once I had an old Cornishman at I work at a mine in which I was inter- S ested and had intrusted him with a 1 general supervision of all the blasting. He had' been handling dynamite for twenty years or more and was justly regarded as an expert. During that entire period he had never had an ace dent worth speaking of, and by de- s grees the care and vigilance that were responsible for his excellent record had worn away until he was beginning to entertain the delusion, common to old hands, that the danger of the stuff was very much exaggerated. "One day I was passing through a I cut where some blasting had been go- I ing on and noticed the old Cornishman t hammering a drill into what seemed to I be a boring in the rock. I asked him t what he was doing, and he told me 1 coolly there was a cartridge in the hole that had failed to explode and he was 'just knockin' out the tampin' to re- t prime it.' I was horrified, for at every t blow he was liable to explode the dyna- t mite, and I ordered him sternly to stop . and never repeat such a performance. E The proper method would have been to have drilled a new hole near by and exploded the first charge with a second blast. He obeyed sullenly, grumbling 1 to himself, and less than a month after ward was blown up while doing exact ly the same thing. He lost his left arna - at the shoulder, his left eye and part of his left ear. He also lost his contempt. for dynamite, and when he finally emerged from the hospital I gave him back his former job. I never had a 1 more scrupulously careful employee( than he was from that time on. It I seems a brutal thing to say, but there is nothing that does an old dynamite hand as much good as to get blown up once or twice."-New Orleans Times Democrat. The Proofreader. An anonymous writer in the Ameri can Printer of New York says: "The Ideal proofreader for a small prntshop ought to be an accomplished printer, a sensible person, a person un derstanding the scope and limitations I of the English language, one compre- - hending the true offices of punctuation, - one with a keen and true appreciation of literature, a storehouse of exact knowledge, a perfect grammarian, a perfect speller and with a fund of hu mor sufficient to enable him to do his whole duty along these various lines without making for an early grave. If he does not really knew everything, he ought assuredly to be able to scent out an eryor and to know how to get at the 1 truth. If he reads the proofs for aC weekly newspaper also, he ought to know all about local affairs and all about the town or city in order to pre vent the reported marriage of the girl who merely acted as bridesmaid and untangle the mixed topography of the reporters' articles." Henry Ward Beecher's Wit. . On one occasion as Mr. Beecher was in the midst of an impassioned speech some one attempted to Interrupt him by suddenly crowing like a cock. The orator, however, was equal to the occa sion. He stopped, listened till the crow- I ing ceased, and then, with a look of surprise, pulled out his watch. "Morn ng already!" he said. "My watch is only at 10. But there can be no mis-t take about it. The Instincts of the low er animals are Infallible." There was a roar of laughter. The "lower animals" in the gallery collaps ed, and Mr. Beecher was able to re sume as if nothing had occurred.

J I tinkr I'll +tk Mitke"-Chlcag Post j LATIMER AND THE ENQUIRER. 'he Congressman Admits Some Charges and Denies Some-The Enquirer Replies. The Enquirer is in receipt of mother letter from Mr. Asbury 3. Latimer, Representative in longress from the Third district, nd candidate for a seat in the Jnited States Senate. This let er is in reply to the information hat was published for the bene it of Mr. Latimer in our issue of )ctober 9. We expected an an wer sooner, but presume that he delay was occasioned by Mr. .atimer's having hastened to Vashington in the hope of being )> assistance to the President in he distribution of Federal pat onage. However, here is Mr. ,atimer's letter as received, pelling. punctuation and phrase )logy being reproduced without hange: Belton, S. C., Oct. 14, 1901. 7ditor The Yorkville Enquirer: I find in my mail to day your paper in rhich is contained an article headed, Information for Nir. Latimer." , You quote from certain letters from )r. J. Wm. Stokes, statements with re rard to me not true. I had a right to )elieve him a true friend of mine. I hrough personal effort saved his seat n Congress at a critical time when it Vas contested, and never did him any njury during his life. He is now dead. .nd I presume left tlis record behind, iowever: protesting in the same letter gainst appearing in the role of infor nant. You are so anxious to defend -our unwarranted atack on me at Tir ;ah that you put in print this dagger hrust at me in secrecy, and now cover d by the shadows of death. I never lairned anywhere or at any time that I ms the author of Free Rural delivery. either was Dr. Stokes the author. If n his reference to "defense of title." ie means to claim the authorship of F. 1. Delivery, nothing could be more .bsurd: the Congressional Record, nd every member of Congress who :nows anything about the subject will ear me out in the statement that everal appropriations had been made o the service, and it had been in opera ion several years before I went to ongress. But I care nothing for his laim on that line. I deny that I ever ifered him a free pass. I did solicit a arty of members of Congress and: en-tors to visit Due West when Bryan poke and to visit this State and Cuba. Ve hired a pullman car at so much per lay, the different roads pulled the car ree of charge. M1y object was pleas re and to bring representative men in outact with our people. I invited Dr. tokes with the other members of the . C. Delegation to join us. For this I ave no-apology to offer, and will do it is often as opportunity offers, and I >elieve good can be accomplished. Sec. Vilson visited my home and suggested hat he would like to experiment in his section with clovers and grasses, .nd proposed if I would furnish the and he would make an experiment. I greed not only to furnish the land but o bear all expenses, if he would furnish he seed and expert to do the work, his was done, and for this I have no pology to make. He has made mpmy xperiments of a similar character in ther States. A. C. LATIMER. It is true, as Mr. Latimer says, hat Dr. Stokes is dead: but it is ~qually true that he was not dead when the letters were written. Ye have always considered the loctor as a man of exceptional ntegrity, who would not utter a rerbal falsehood, and the idea hat he would be s;o silly as to ~ommit a falsehod to writing Qver is signature is a bsurd, in our >pinion. We observe the com >laint that Mr. Latimer makes bout our "putting in print this lagger thrust at me in secrecy, tnd now covered by the shadows >f death," but we are unable to ee what that has to do with the act whether or not Mr. Latimer )fered Dr. Stokes a free pass. Upon reference to Dr. Stokes's ublished letter it will be obser ~ed that Dr. Stokes said of Mr. atimier: "He also had sent me nD annual pass over one of the ~reat trunk lines. which I return ~d." Mr. Latimer, it will be >bserved, says of Dr. Stokes: 'I deny that I ever offered him .aI ree pass." Technically there is 1 -issue of veracity here; but if dr. Latimer had a free pass sent .o Dr. Stokes, then the doctor's barge holds good. In the ab ence of a more specific state nent from Mr. Latimer, the eader will draw his own conclu ion. We have never understood Dr. tokes to claim credit for the uthorship of the free Tral de iveries. We have all along up. erstood, however, that he was esponsible for the arrangement hat secured free delivery along tar routes in South Carolina. ndividuals who attended the ~irzah meeting of.August 3, 1900, epresented to us that in his peech Mr. Latimner attempted o claim credit fo' this, and a ote of the fact was made in our ssue of August 4. Referring to his in his letter of August 21, 900, Dr. Stokes said: "I note that you~ use in your riticism the term 'Star Route.' do not know that; he has ever aid claim to that s;pecific phrase f the delivery, bu; there is much onfusion in the public mind, nd his claims have been so ouched as to leave the impres ion that he is responsible for ural delivery. He would pro ably get from undler your stric ures on the verbal inaccuracy f the indictment, Better use he generic term rural ddivery a any future references." We observe that while the free MANY RE3SID)ENTS ~our cty are thoroughly acquainted with, and know miraculous cures that Dr. Thacher's Liver and ood Syrup has made.

If ho junkets to Due West and Cuba are admitted with the claim that their object was pleasure and to bring representative men in con tact with our people, nothing is said about the many smaller trips to New York 'and Niagara. Dr. Stokes says these were for "fam ilv and friends." As explained by Mr. Latimer, the clover and grass experiment incident sounds both reasonable and plausible. Dr. Stokes, how ever, did not look at it exactly that way, as is evidenced by his letter of August 21, 1900. This is the way the doctor saw it: .His farm was set in grass by a government expert last fall. He was at it for several weeks, and I believe is still in charge. Of course the ostensible ground is for the purpose of testing grasses for that section, but be ing within a short distance of the State farm at Clemson, there would seem to be no excuse for expending public funds on pri vate property, and especially would it appear reprehensible when the private property be longs to a Representative who has to vote the funds for the purpose. Doubtless, if private property had to be used, any number of farmers in that sec tion would gladly have granted small plats for experimentation. and so have avoided the appear ance of putting permanent im provements on private proper ty at public expense. The prin ciple here seems too elementary for argument." As to how, if at all, Mr. Lati mer saved Dr. Stoke's seat in Congress we have no informa tion. If Mr. Latimer's claim is true, it was certainly a remark able feat. We are doubtful, however, as to whether the fact even came to Dr. Stoke's atten tion. If it had, the doctor would not have been ungrateful: but at the same time we have no idea that his gratitude would have ever descended to the point where he could have gotten the consent of his conscience to sanction transactions that lie knew to be wrong.--Yorkville Enquirer.

"What's bred in the bone will come out in the flesh," is a good old proverb which is illustrated many times over in daily life. President Roosevelt posseses an inherent desire to openly defy public opinion, but if he does not exercise some control over those desires public opinion will not only defy them, but will stren uously condemn the reckless Teddy. By entertaining Booker T. Washington at dinner at the White House the other day, the President comnmitted an act of idiscretion that will bring down upon his head a fearful tirade of abuse and advers~ely affect his chances for reelection. It was eminently proper that he should receive Washington as the rep esentative of the colored race in religious, educational and po litical affairs, but when he enter tained him at dinner he was neither performing the duties of1 the President of a white Repub' lic nor setting an example worthy o emulation by those over whom he exerci~s executive authority. The only reason we ca n assign1 for the indiscreet act is that th~c President's inherent desire to rebel against public opinion ove-mstered his better judg ment. No saae pierson who ex ercises authority over seventy six millions of people does any thing impulsively, no matter how trivial it may be, and .as Mr. Roosevelt is a inani of sound, common sense, it is to he pre sumed that he gave the matter some forethought, which proves concuswly that his innate de sires will always show a tenden y to prevail in deliberation~s .fecting the nation and its af fairs. Whether we are fortunate or unfortunate in having such a President is a debatable question. [f fortunate the expense of ro taining a cabinet is unnecessary id its dissolution should speed ily follow, while the reassembling >f Congress would be an expen sive and useless hardship. A pliant will is feared by everyone, but an unbending will-one vhich will not yield to reason is to be greatly dreaded, most aspecialy when it is possessed by one who is expectpd~ to prio teet the lives andc proQperty of seventy six millin p~aBut I tt us hope that the new Preli lent will realize the full imnpor Lance of the responsibilities at bached to his~ great office and in Lhe future will allow reason in tead of innate desires to prevail n the consideration and acc'om pishment- of all his public as wvell as private acts.--Dillon Ejerald.

"The rumor in Washington that Senator McLaurin will likely join President Roosevelt's cabinet probab ly is the result of the prominence the Senator has attained in the scheme of the President's new Southern policy. and there may be nothing substantial in it. At the same time. it is not a fantastic proposition by any means, and is certainly not without tne bounds of possibility. Should it come to pass, of course, Senator McTaurin would leave the Democratic iarty and Tillman and his allies would be spared the danger ous undertaking of throwing him out, and the impossible task of stillin- his argunients.-- (harleston Post. Senator McLaurin may be in vited to join the Roosevelt cabi not and he may decide to accept the position for the benefit which he may be able to confer upon the south, but our Charleston contemporary is entirely mis taken in saying. "Should it come to pass, of course, Senator Mc Laurin would leave the Demo cratic party, etc." In the first place if President Roosevelt should extend such an invitation to Senator McLaurin it would be as a distinct compli ment to the South, which is solid ly Democratic and will always remain so. He will be reques ted to join the cabinet, if at all, as a Democrat, representing the progressive. broad, up-to-date views of the Commercial Demo cracy as opposed to the anti quated, anarchistical. revolu tionary tendencies of Bryanism and Tillmanism. Senator Mc Laurin will not be asked to change his party, nor would he accept a position in Mr. Roose velt's cabinet upon any such condition. Nor will his accept ance of such a position as a Dem ocrat be without ample prece dent. Judge Key., a Democrat, was a member of . President Hayes' cabinet. Mr. Gresham was a Republican member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, The cabinet officers are the Presi ident's advisors, touching the several branches of the govern ment. President Rosevelt has indicated unmistakably that he intends to carry out President McKinley's Southern policy, the key note of which was the per fect reconcilliation of the two sections, by a non-partizan, equi table distribution of the federal offices in the South. It seems to be impossible for the Southern press and more es pecially a large number of the newspapers of South Carolina to realize that a Republican Presi dent can truly be in earnest when he announces his intention of appionting the best men to office irrespective of party. It is not unnatural, with the eXperience of a long line of Republican par tizan Presidents before us, that we should be a trifle incredulous when fair play and proper re cognition of our peculiar politi cal condition is promised. But we believe that with the McKin ley administration an entirely new .era opened for the South and that it only remains for the Southern people to throw off the narrowminded prejudices of the past and accept the proffered hand of friendship in good faith. We are not asked to surrender either per'sonal or party princi ples. We are simply invited to join in obliterating sectional lines and in harmoniously work ing towards the common pros perity of our country. We believe that President Roosevelt is moved by neither selfish nor partizan motives when he appoints Democrats to federal offices in Alabama and South aolina as he has recently done; inil we believe that if he should tender Senator McLaurin a cabi net position it would be simhply that he is convinced that in Mc Laurin he would find a Southern Derocra.t. best qualified by his broad, liberal views to aid himn as a member of his advisory board in solving the Southern problem, by methods entirely outside of party lines.-Green yille News. It Rappened in a rug Store. -One day last winter a lady came to my ugu store and ask-ed for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock." says Mr. c. R.

I said to her that I could freely recommead Chamberlain's Cong Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after iing it a fair trial If she did not rind it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid.
