ATTCTDS OONYOmON AT SUM “DEATH Of LITTLE RUBYE THOMAS” A beautiful little bud ha.« l»evn plucked from the garden of this world and has been transplanted in the paradise of God. t<» bloom in Heaven. Little Rubye infant daughter of Mr and Mrs Frank Thomas, of Hells, was born Dec. 21. 1905 and died Oct. HO. 11*10. She was a bright lieautiful little girl, and bid fair to make a ,useful woman. The little darling is sad!} I wish to relate some of my ex perience* while here in one of the best* and'cleanent towns I ever visited. First. I had a very pleasant ride before breakfast on the little branch road from Walter boro to Green Pond, but Oh. my just such a lovely wait at Green Pond; Then on the Charleston with a three hours va t with plentylof them to see several places of interest. Here I am joined by more of the delegation, and we soon find ourselves changing cars at Lanes for Sumter, where we are met by a committee with car riages and automobiles and taken to the church where we heard a very good sermon by Dr Buckly of Char leston, after which we were taken to our Intarding place. The writer was well enterta:ned at the lovely home of Mr. Wesley Weathers. There will l»e a meeting of the King's Daughters and Sons, at the Baptist church next Monday after noon at 4 o’clock.

I had never been strong; and this, with the shock of her death, was too much for me. “I failed in health. 1 was tired all the time and did not want to go anywhere, nor care for company. 1 had the headache all the time and such bearing-down paint. “A very dear friend advised me to take Cardui, as It had done ker so much good, so I commenced .to use it and now 1 am in good beatth.” The Woman’s Tonic Women’s pains are relieved or prevented and women's th is quickly restored, ou^eurself know best strength is quickly restored, by Cardui, the woman's tonic You^eurself know best if y If you do need it, do not delay, but commence to use fou need it, or not it at once. Every day of delay, only lets you slide further down the hill. Don’t wait, then, but begin to take Cardui today, for its use, no matter how prolonged, cannot harm you and will- surely do you good. A GLANCE AT POETRY. . In one of the most beautiful of Hawthorne’s sketches. “A Royal Poet,” occur* the oft-quoted tab- ■age: “It ia the gift of poetry to hallow every place in which it moves; to breathe around nature an odor more exquisite than the per fume of the roee, and to shed over it a tint more magical than the blush of moriling.” We feel inclined sometimes to ask why it is the rule that people are so unfamiliar with poetry—-why it seems to be so com pletely left out of their calculations. I do not think this is doe altogether to want of appreciation, for we find (sometimes to our surprise) that almost every one is capable of being touched by the beauties of poetry, and that while all kinds do not ap peal to everybody, and of course a certain degree of education, and even of natural talent, is necessary for aa enjoyment of the beat, yet there are few Ihdeed who are alto gether unaffected by it. Perhaps the gist of the whole matter ia contained in what I once heard a man of culture say: ”1 enjoy short poems, or choice pas sages from long poems, immensely; but amid the practical work of life I have scarcely found it possible to cultivate poetry as it ought to be cultivated, consequently have not formed a taste for consecutive'poeti- cal reading. I could not read book after book of it, as a few of you can.” On the supposition that this con dition of enjoying the occasional poem is rather especially true of women, 1 have thought that one or two extracts of good poetry mfeht be of interest to the women, of our Department, and without more pre face I shall let such specimens speak for themselves. The little poem. ‘First and Last,’’ which follows is from the pen of a gifted Gharlestonian, Mr. G Herbert Sass. Mr. Sa*» is remarkable for the grace and finish of his style. His love-poetryis of exquisite deli cacy. "They sat together, hand in hand; The sunset flickered low; The fickle sea crept up the strand And caught the after-glow. He tang a song, a little song No other poet knew; And abe looked up and thought him strong. Looked down and dreamed him true. The fickle sea crept up the strand,, And laughed a wanton laugh— Took up the aong the poet planned And sang the other half. Times change; the two went diverse wap. The evening shades increase On him grown old in fame and praiae. And her in household peace. The echo of the false sweet words He sang so long ago Has passed as pass the .summer birds v Before the winter snow. But as tonight the angel’s hand Loosens the silver chord And bears her to that other land Of love’s supreme reward. She hears but one sound—silent long, A whisper soft and low— The echo of that false, sweet song He sang so long ago.” Of the ghostly march of the dark to day. There are sounds too mystical to repeat; Eager voices, hurrying feet. Ribald laughter and jest—and then The pmvers and pleadings of 1 risoned men. At deaa of night, when the wind is still. There is life in the shadows at • Andersonville. When the hills gloom black in the midnight shade, There are signs of life in the old stockade; ” The phantom guards in the prison bounds Resume their sorrowful, silent rounds; ‘ While the glow worm’s lantern gleams and waves Adown the aisles of a thousand graves; And then to the listening ear there cornea The mystic roll of the muffled drums. b ' The drama ends and the dreamer wakea; In the flowering fields and tangled brakes The. birds are singing; the liquid notes Rise to heaven from their thrilling throats; And the sunlight falls with a soften ed beam On the voiceless graves when the dead men dreem; While hill and valley and prison sod Rest in the smile and thef peace of God. But at dead of night, Wind is still. There is life in the Andersonville.” when the shadows at Standard:—I waiting and Write to AJy.mitt Dti* .

Editor Press and have been patiently looking for an answer to my ques tions through the columns of your paper, hut have failed to see the an swer. One of the boys writes that he endorses all that tax payer has said and more too, but he does not answer the questions. Now if Col leton county has not lost anything why don’t the Grand Jury say so. The law provides for them to look after the counties interest and if the law provides for them to look into the Treasurers office and find shortage and publish same. Why not they anawer the questions I ask? Has the county lost anything? The anawer.would be yea or no, and this would satisfy the mind of tax payer and one of the boys, and if nobody else is concerned about this matter, the; question will end. One of the boys that writes suggest that *e petition the 'Court to answer the question if it can’t be had otherwise then I my so too, but I propose for this to be the last resort, for I feel that such steps would not reflect brightly on CoBeton county. He that would smile at any misdoing deserves no credit, and there will be a turning point, and can we boast upon the rich resurces of our county-- her good schools, her fine intellect, and have a cloud of mist hanging over a public office, like hangs over the county treasurers office? Tax payer has ask the question for in formation /knd no body has yet answered, yes or no. Now it is a fact that some body knows whether these charges against the office are trur'or not. and some body knows whether the county, has lost any tl . , , , money or not. So the fight must be Ro*>etti. I quote one of the most turne{ j on an( ] w j|| U, t urne( } on.no From “The Blessed Damozel,” by exquiste bits of description that I know of. It is a perfect picture, bright, and yet full of a holy and beautiftil solemnity: / “The blessed damozel leaned out From the gold bar Heaver>; Her, eyes were deeper than the depth / Of waters stilled at Avon; She had three lilies in her hand. And the stars in her hair were seven. sv / Her robe, ungirt from clasp to hem, No wrought flowers did adorn. But a white rose of Mary’s gift. For serv ice meetly worn; Her hair that lay along her hack Was yellow like ripe corn.” It is hard to believe that these lines were written by a nineteen year old boy. A poem of quito a-different order ia Mr Frank L Stanton's “At Ander- sonville,” which from its admirable adaptation of sound to sense, and of both to effect, seems to me one of Mr. Stanton's best: “When the wind, wandering wind is still.
