OF THK CRIPPLED CHILD?
,
(Printed at the suggestion of 1). A. G.
Ousts jn the intereat of The Shrin
??!?*' Crippled Children's Hospital.)
Have you heard the cry of th? crippled
child? ;
With Ml* pleading tones, sp soft and
sweet,
Then heed its' cry, it is wojjjjth' your
white,
For thf child to walk erect on its feet.
^ ou'd heard U*ll of the "Golden Stair"
-And the wonderful shining Wings?
Of the plaoe where nil the folks aroi
- Klad ' " ' Z ?
Vnd never need earthly things."
Mift the cripples are asking for some
thing today; ,
They want it now, not then;
I. ilce a worm, it crawls on earth they
* ' * ? t
i , i ? t ' m help them t<> rise and walk like
men. > ; .
"1 do not ask for ships of the air,
Nor the car on its rushing wheels,
Hut I wish for once that all folks
who pass,
Could just know how a cripple teels."
"There's- them might get me the
? things I want,
The feet that's bought and sold,"
Hut to buy a poor little cripple can't,
"Who's never had silver nor gold?" .<
"There's heaps of money the rich,"
foolishly spend,
'Never thinking, on selfish joys?"
"f would build such a beautiful "Mira
cle Inn,"
For the cripple girl ^ and boys."
"And some they'd cure and all they'd
help,
And with the dear Christ they'd say:
"Arise and Walk," to the crawling
worm,
For such 1 ant today."
'The wings? all right tor the golden
streets,
Hut help me now, who can?
i am crying today just for the chance,
To rise and walk like a man."
Such Cattle in Every County.
The other day a Union county citi
?/.< n said: "I don't see why our county
pays out money for a woman to go
'round tell in* the children how to keep
their. teeth clean, their finger nails
Rimmed, examinin' their ears and
Poking down their throats and tellin'
' m to keep their fingers out of their
mouths. We didn't have (\o sech car
? yin's <in when I went to school, and
?Wi ? got along all right, too."
The man's teeth, I observed were
conspicuous by their absence ? a snag
or two only left of his molars. And
he would cup his hand over his best
ear and time to ^>ni?, exclaim,
"Hey!'* IitCaVHo^^'tfrnos quite a bit
l^f real estate umlcr his finger nails.
He is a tit subject, for almost any dis
i ai^ going \\}l rounds nowadays.
No, a health nurSfie was unknown
when he was a kid. Didn't need non"

Stoe Just Talked Too Much,
Ladjes who bring damage suits
should not be ten) pleasant and com
municative when the members of the
jury a ?*0 around, unions they want to
ox pc r ii;iuo t'urtlu'r law's dola> s.
Down in Aiken last week, Judge Mem
minger had to call it all off just be
fiiusf the lady plaintiff in an action
for damages was jfou nd chatting plea
santly with the jurors who were to
sit in judgment of her claims. It is
quite evident that the lady did not
"moan anything" by her friendliness,
but chatting with jurors is not just
the thing you know, in the beat regu*
la tod tribunals. . ' ,
Wlun Judgo -M? -mminger arrived in
the court room he discovered the wo
man plaint ill iii a damage suit chat
ting pleasantly with several members
of the jury which had been empanelled
to try the case. The woman evidently
had not intended any breach of court
vuU : , and was, possibly, unaware that
she was doing anything wrong.
The jurors wore in the box, and she
was sitting several feet away, await
ing {he opening of court. Just how
the conversation began no one can
tell, and theVsubject of it was, in no
wise reluted to the cast^ before the
court. Hut Judge Memmiriger, when
court was convened, stated that in
view of the fact that she had held con
verge with t)ic jurors, even should
they return a verdict in her fav?r it
would be his duty to Het it aside, and,
therefore, the case was continued and
court adjourned.--Spartanburg Her

Ex-Slave Dies at Age of 91.
Klow Henderson, respected negro
of the city died last Saturday at the
remarkable age of 91 years. Ho was
in good health until a short time be
fore his death. He had been in the
employ of the Southern Railway for
about *16 years, being flagman at the
Broad street crossing for some six or
eight years until advancing age forced
his retirement. He was held in high
esteem bv the railway officials and by
all who T$new him.
Henderson was one of the few re
maining ex-slaves born in Africa. He
said lie did not know the exact year
that he was brought to America but
that he was six years old at the time.
He and a twin brother were sold to a
man named Martin, and were later
sold to a man named Henderson, on
the coast of South Carolina. After
he was given his freedom in 1865 ho
kept the name of Henderson. In "tell
ing of his' childhood he said*/*. he re
membered the voyage across the At
lantic with a great company of other
negroes who were being sold into
slavery, i but he did not remember the,
number. 11c thought ho was brought
over on a ship that .smuggled slaves
into the country, but he was not sure
about* this. Soon after being sold in
to slavery he lost sight of the others
who came with him, and he did not
remember the part of Africa that he
came from.
Henderson lived an upright life and
was respected by all who knew of
him. He left several children, two
of whom are ministers. ? ^.Carolina

"Technically and strictly speaking,
1 am guilty of the charges preferred,"
Mr. Hilbo said in entering his plea,
"and it is not my purpose to play
with the Court with any frivolous de
fense. No man in Mississippi has a
higher respect or more profound re
gard for the process of tins c&urt
and all other courts than 1 hav^ and,
in ~ entering a plea of guilty, I want
to assure this honovable court that
1 am profuradly sorry that my abhor
rence of having any further connec
tion with the dinty controversy to
which I was subpoenaed tempted me
to evade the process of the court."
