REPUGNANT TO SOUTHERN TASTES.
It is just a little bigger pill
than Southern ethics , can swal
low that Admiral Dewey not
only accepted the home to be
purchased forr him with the 1he
jnoney urged ' and pressed from
43,000 of his countrymon, most
of whom doubtless could have
. f ouhc more judicious disposal
of it had they not fallen into the
gush of hero worship, but actual
ly shows that' he wants the house
furnished for him and quickly
at that.
With a Southern sense of man
hood, as exemplified recently by
Gens. Hampton and Gordon, who
scT" magnanimously remembered
that if the hat were passed
around there would be many a
dollar sentimentally thrown - in
that outght to be judiciously ap
propriated elsewhere; and re
fused to receive aid, preferring
to, share poverty with their
comrades, Dewey cannot be an
object of Southern Admiration
and pride.
7ith the magnificent salary, of
$13,000 per year and a fair pros
pect of $100,000 or more for
' sinking that Spanish fleet, to
practically, tell the world that he
will tke all that comes and
looli for more, is repugnant to
Southern tastes. -
Has that hero not been right
neatly honored and sufficiently
paid in dollars and cents so that
he may be comfortably shelved
while the country proceeds to the
due consideration of others
equally deserving?
' We have honored Dewey, we
still honor him. but. it is
so unlike Souther chivalry that it
is as well to refrain from both
condemnation . and : fulsome
praise. ' :: : - i- . : K '
The Robinson Circus got into
trouble at AsLevillefor gambling
at Marion. Two or three par
ties got in legal proceedings and
the circus people left $400 in de
posit to meet the full penalty of
the law if the court finds guilt.

Seems strange to think that
when I'm gone
- This world '11 wag on just the
same " ' ' '
The hull machine '11 run alone
Just like it did afore I came.
I've got so us't to watchin' things

v goes,
It kinder seems as if the wings

When I am gone. v

Seems 'sif all the -clocks 'd stop,
- The milk turn sour, the streams
run dry, . .
The axles break, and sum thing
drop -
Without my ever watchful eye;
The turret on the City Hall,
And all the 'lefetric towers
bond v ,
'Nd sway 'nd totter, pitch 'nd fall,
And time itself come to an end
' When I am gone.
Tis hard to realize that sun
'Nd moon 'nd stars, 'nd land
'nd sea,
And lakes and rivers, every one,
uan still exist all without me !
That all the ' tribes 'nd nations
will . .! -;
In every clime and every land;
Continue tc perform, 'nd still
'uo ousmess at tne same oia
stand"
When I am gone.
Bnt then, of course, it will be so,
For, near as I can ascertain,
The livin' will keep on the go
When I am m, out of the ram.
J4y the dreamy light of the same
old moon
The restless feet unused to
: stand,
Will trip and dance to the same
old tune
Keep time and Step with the
same old band V
When I am gone.
WHEN YOU ARE GONE.
The sun will rise and set the
same,
Men will .work, and strive for
fame,
Forgotten soon will be your
, name,
When your are gone.
Flowers : will -blossom in the
spring
And silvery wood notes loudly
ring,
As feathered warblers sweetly
sing,
When you are gone.
Friends will grieve above your
bier
A n(J on your grave will drop a
.tear,
You'll be forgotten in a year,
When you are gone.
Above you ever and anon
Will pass the long years, one by
one,
Remorseless timesweep on and
on,
When you are gone. .
And millions yet will follow thee
Grave age, glad youth nd in-.
1 iancy,
Will join you in eturnity,
When you are gone.
The' cradle, coffin and the
grave

brave.
When you are gone.
Age will mourn ahd youth will
laugh ; ' . x

Many of the justice-loving
people of our land opened
their eyes and were ready to
place their fingers on the lips
that had indignantly reproached
the French nation on account of
i . ...
Dreyfus, when some one sounded
. : : I
the note that we had a paralle
case in that of v Capt. Carter.
Attorney General Briggs has
been moved to give his views of
the case after approving the
findings of the court-martial.
There seems no room to doubt
that Cart. Carter is sruiltv and
that his sentence was just. We
are glad that the president gave
Carter every opportunity to show
his innocence which he failed
to do. Let the . verdict of
the court have" its full force.
There is hardly room to fear
that our nation has' a Dreyfus
stain on it. . " ,
