Lover* Still. His lialr as wintry snow la white; Her trembling jtteps are slow; His eyes have lost their merry light, Her cheeks their rosy glow; Her hair has lost its tints of gold, Ills voice its joyous thrill; Ami yet; though feeble, gray, and old, They’re faithful lovers still. Since they were wed, on lawn and lea, Oft did the daisies blow, And oft across the trackless sea Did swallows come and go, Oft were the forest brandies bare, Anil oft in gold arrayed; Ofl did the lilies scent the air, The roses bloom and fade They’ve had their share of hopes and fears, Their share of bliss and bale, Since first he whispered in her ears A lover’s tender tale. Full many a thorn amid the flowers Hus lain upon their way; The’ve had their dull November hours As well as days of May. But firm and true through weal and woe. Through change of time and scens, Through winter's gloom, through summer'r glow, Their faith and love have been. Together hand in hand they pass Ferenely down life’s hill, In hopes one grave in churchyard grass May hold them lovers still. Chambers’ Journai.. IN THE INTEREST OF WOMEN SOUTHERN Their Writin*s to be Collected and Exhibited at The Tennessee Centennial. To the Editor of Tim News: As chairman, for South Carolina, of the library board which is seeking to secure the work of southern women writers to exhibit during the centennial exposition of Tennessee, I ask for space in your paper to make known to sister workers of my State what is desired of them. Mrs. Ann E. Snyder, of Nashvill, well known as the author of “The Civil War,” is chairman for the South, and has asked her assistants to leave no stone unturned, but to do their utmost toward securing a large and varied ex hibit. Only through the aid of the press can we hope for assured success, and we hope it will give us such assistance as lies in its power, and until no worker will miss the opportunity of having her name enrolled as a southern writer and her whole work shown at the great ex position. We are authorized to collect not only books and published works of all kinds, hut manuscripts and scrap hooks as well, for the former—pen-written ones, at least—no provision was made at either Chicago or Atlanta, and they will not be neglected at Nashville, but regarded as an interesting feature of the literary department. The scrapbooks are preferred gotten up in tablet form, and especial and at tractive arrangements for their display have been made. They may contain much fugitive work—of whatever nature and along whatever line—as a writer collects from time to time. In the salesroom, which will be in charge of a competent lady, books may be placed for sale, a percentage of 25 ‘ cuts being charged on all sold, "Work must be sent in not later than the first of December, although the ex position does not open until May of next year. They are needed thus early that the catologue may be gotten ready to issue in January. Mail all works to Mrs Ann E Snyder, No. 315 Ashe street Nashville, Tenn., who will attend per’ sonally to its return, at the expense of the committee, and see that no neglect occurs. Some books—their writers being dead or married and their present ad- die» os unknown—will not be procur- ahle unless persons, whether writers or not, who own copies will, for the sake of the writer's name and the glory of her State, offer to lend them. They .till be returned in good order at the • lose sf the exposition. Following are the titles of some of the beoks we have not yet obtained and would be glad to get. They are copied from “Living Female Writers of the South," published in 1872, and since then their authors may have brought out others that would be as thankfully received. We have not copied from the above-mentioned volume titles of books by writers whose addresses we know am' which can thus be gotten di rect from their authors.

Muller committed suicide at 8.15 o’clock this morning at his house in this city. He placed a 32-calibre SinPh A Wesson revolver to his head and blew his brains out. The ball passed diago nally through his bead, coming out near the back, on the left side on a line slightly above the ear. Death must have been Instantaneous, for when his wife found him, a few minutes after he had shot himself, he was dead. No sne was present when the deed was done. Mrs. Muller having left the house a few minutes before and gone into the yard. While in the yard she heard the report of a pistol, but thought that some one was shooting In the woods near by When ahe returned to the house she found her husband dead upon the floor, with a bullet hole through his head, from which the blood was trickling and forming a puddle on the floor Mr. Muller was a German, bat had been In this country for many years, having first settled in Mayesville and afterwards In this city. He was a har ness maker by trade and was quite suc- cesssul in business until recent years. Financial embarrassment and continued ill health caused him to grow melan choly, and the supposition la that In an aggravated fit of despondency he took the rash step which ended his life. Mr., Muller was insured for $2,000 in the A. 0. U. W. He was a member of the Lutheran congregation and the fun eral services will be conducted by the Rev J C Trauger to-morrow.—Newm dt Courier. PROF W. L. McQEE MEETS A VIO- LENT DEATH. While Showing a Clast the Workings of a Corn Shrader He Was Fatally Cut by the Saw*. Charleston, Oct. 22.—A special to the News and courier from Clemson col lege says: Prof. W. L. McGee was fatally injured about 12.30 today and died at 5 this evening. He was at the bam show ing the senior class the working of a new corn shredding machine, when his coat was caught by th* saws of the ma chine and he was instantly cut in the side by the saw teath. It was soon seen that he was fatally hart and he began giving directions as to his bnrial and the disposition of his property. His father was telegraphed to, and he asked that his old friend and preceptor, General Stephen D. Lee, should be notified also. The latter sent the following reply te President Craighead: “Tell McGee that I am shedding tears that one so beloved and prominent shout meet such a fate.” This message fitly expressed the senti ment here, for professor McGee enjoyed the respect and friendship of all and his death is greatly deplored. He was 84 years old, affable and quick and of com manding presence. He came to Clem- son as assistant professor of agriculture in March r 1894, and was elected professor in 1895. His remains will be sent to his home at Lexington, Miss., tomorrow, escorted by two members of the faculty. Prof. McGee exhibited remarkable calmn-ss throughout, knowing that he could not live, and died peacefully. HURRAH for that HILL STORE at Society Hill 1 ! !
