The list of the counties paying j
income tax as compared with the
- \ . ...
counties that pay nothing is an interesting
study. The presumably
rich counties of Darlington, Marll>on>,
Dillon and several others pay
not a certt of income tax, and yet in
i
at least one of the counties named
there are several reputed semi-mil
lionaires. Compare Darlington,
Marlboro and Dillon with Dorchester
and Bamberg, and yet both of
the latter counties pay income tax.
Surely some counties' wealthy men
.v are greatly over-rated or they are
very modest in acknowledging their
possessions to the county Auditor.
GOVERNOR BLEASE'S MESSAGE.
Brief Synopsis of More Important
Recommendations.
Columbia, January 14: -The an-1
JJUOI message ui jviciuvi
contains several thousand words and
fills a pamphlet of thirty-six pages.
The message carries statistical information
about the property of the
State.
The Governor recommended that i
the rate per mile for passengers on
all railroads be reduced to two cents.
"I recommend,"said the message,
"that an act be passed making the
Medical College at Charleston the
? .1 n l!
Medical UoUege ot Soutn Laronna,
x and making it a branch pf the South
Carolina University, ana appropriating
the sum of 810,000 for the
purpose of defraying the ordinary
expenses of the institution."
The Governor also recommended
that the name of Clemson College
be changed to Calhoun University.
The Governor defended his pardon
record and called attention to
what he said was a monopoly for
raising the price of ice.
He recommended that an act be
passed annulling all exclusive franchises,
that water power corporations
be taxed, and that the legal
rate of interest be reduced to 6 per
cent.
He recommended that an act be
passed forbidding any bank to
charge exchange on checks.
He recommended that express
companies be prohibited from charging
for returning money collected on
COD packages.
The message said that a menace
to the white race lies in selling too
much real estate to negroes.
T*he Governor advocates the repeal
of the concealed weapon law,or
amending it so that people can carry
pistols for 30 days by paying a fee
of $5 to the Clerk of court.
He also recommended that all do- ]
tectives operating in the State be
required to register with the Secretary
of State.
W He urges that an act be passed
making it a misdemeanor for news- (
papers to publish a false report of

[ LEE AT JACXSOn GRAVE, j |
I've a picture in my attic, hanging on 5
the dingy waii.
And 1 oft times go to see it when the \ %
length'nir.g shadows fall;
I lift it from the rusty-nail and brush !
the dust away. I j
And there 1 see a soldier in a uniform "
of gray: j
T 1 i 1 _ ??? i,
in nis nanu a wreaui ui msca^vn mo brow
a look of care, , "
As he lays it o'er the bosom of his com- ,1
rade sleeping there.
At the margin of the picture just above
the classic mould, I 1
There appears a faint inscription on the d
canvas gray and old: v
But I should not dare restore it, 'tis the ?
dear old name I'd save,
And my heart aches when I read it? ,1]
."Lee at Stonewall Jackson's grave!" ,
Seems a phantom voice is speaking.and
I hear a faint good-by; i
Seems across the common stillness zeph- j
yrs bear the sweet reply: a
O, Jackson, I am wat 'hing J
'Neath the shadow of thy tomb; j<
But, Jackson, I'll be with thee 1 u
o here eternal roses bloom!

I saw thee in the valley where the vapors
kist the sun,
As gorgeous as old Austerlitz that .
charmed Napoleon; *
0, that beautiful May morning, on us o
ambient sunbeams fell? t
Fell upon the last fond meeting?0, my v
comrade, fare-thee-well. ,
But in spirit I was with thee, felt thy
throDbing heart a-tune P
To the song of Shanandoah, rippling
'neath me silver moon;
With thee on the eve of battle when the
camp-fires lit the sky, *
And the soldier in his bosom pinn'd his (
sweetheart's last good-by! t
At the sounding of reveille when the ^
shells around thee screamed.
I beheld the empty saddles where the ;
belching cannon gleamed; t
Yes. I saw thee in the valley where thy
blood the verdure kist, v
Bivouacked beneath the starlight there
my soul was keeping tryst. *
0. Jackson. I am watching t
Where the myrtles round thee creep, <j
But, Jackson, I'll be with thee v
Where none sorrow and none weep. v
There atChancellorsville I watched thee, s
raised to Heaven thy cherished name, o
When thy dash at Hooker's right engulfed
it in a sea of flame;
But. oh, that fatal reconnoit'ring when
thy comrades knew thee not, v
There thy soul received the summons, j
and thy noble breast the shot;
There the steel thy bosom shattered?0, k
forgive, they did not know? h
Would that thou had'st died in batt'e j(
with thy face against the foe.
"(Wilburn, Wilburn, he is falling. See,
he droDs the bridle rein! t
Lend thy shoulder. Blood upon it? Thou
art honored by the stain!
0, Fatality, thou mystery; why should q
love destroy her own?
Little wonder that the blonder turned e
their loving hearts to stone!) li
I saw thee reeling from the saddle.saw p
thy last forgiving glance, _
As the trusty arm of Morrison bore thee
to the ambulance; 1
Heard thee give the last stern order that d
thy death with glory crowned: a
"To the front and hold vour ground,sir;
Pender, you must h< >Id your ground!"
0, Jackson, I am watching
Where the fading roses lie, n
But, Jackson. I'll be with you r
Where the roses never die.
r
But to-morrow, there is Hooker: who b
shall meet that valiant foe? ^
Thou art sleeping, comrade. sleeping;who
shall cope the "Fighting Joe?
Ah, 'tis Goa's whose loom is weaving. ?
and it weaves the fate of man; e
Who th' inscrutable shall fathom? Who a
divine th' omniscient plan; *
Not a sparrow falls without Him. not a
hair unnumbered is;
Thou hast fallen, thine the honor,infinite
omniscience His.
0. my Pythias, there at Round-top,Get- e

But thine ear heard not the summons of f
the rolling reveille; o
For He heard thy last petjtion, as thy ?
comrades round the prest? * $
"Let us go across the river, 'neatlt the C
shady trees to rest!" p
Thou art resting, oh, my loved one and r
the birds their requiem sing.
But I'll meet you o'er the river, where '
war's tocsins never ring. v
Now the sword is sheathed forever that ?
upon the shield of fame, j
Carved thy deeds of peerless valor and

Honey Hill vs Hell Hole.
| The following notice appears in
the latest issue of the Southern
Christian Advocate:
"Rev J C Taylor of Newberry has
been appointed to serve the Honey
Hill circuit in the Kingstree district
for the year* 1913. R L Holroyd,
Presiding Elder."
And thereby hangs a tale?as to ^
i thp name of that circuit. A few
years ago while Rev J E Carlisle of
Central church, Newberry, was presiding
elder down that way. a new
circuit?a long and narrow strip?
was formed- in the district he was
serving. The Bishop asked Mr Carlisle
what name * should be given to
the circuit. His reply was:
"Well, Bishop, one end of the territory
included in the circuit is known
as Honey Hill and the other end as
Hell Hole."
"Then let it be Honey Hill," said :
the Bishop.?Xetcberry Observer.
