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.

SUICIDE IN SUMTER,
Mr. d. J. Muller. Probably in a Fit of
Despondency Over Financial Embar
rassment, Blowa Out Hia Brains.
Sumter, October 23.—Special: Mf-
J- J. 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.
