THE TEMPLE OP FAME.
"How far away is ihe Temple of
Fame?"
Said a youth! at the dawn of day;
And he toiled and dreamed of a death
less name :
But the hours jwent by and the even
ing came,
That left him feeble, old and lame.
To plod on hlis cheerless way.
For the path of Fame is a weary
. climb
Ud a mountain step, and high;
There are many who start in their
r youthful prime;
But the battle with fate and time,
For one who reaches thos heights
sublime,
Are thousands who fall and die.
The youth who had failed could
never guess
The reason his quest was vain ;
But he sought no other to help or
bless ;
He followed the glittering prize Suc
cess.
Up the narrow pathway of Selfish
ness.
And this had been his bane.
"How far away is the Temple of
Good?"
Said a youth
at the dawn of day;
And he strove
in a spirit of brother-
hood,
To help and succor as best he could,
The poor and unfortunate multitude
Oa their hard and dreary .way 4
He likewise strove with adversity,
To climb to the heights above ; ,
But his dream jwas ever of men. made
free,
Of better days in the time to be,
And self was buried in sympathy
He followed the path of Love.
He was careless alike of praise or
blame, j
But after his work was done.
An angel of glory from heaven came
"And ' wrote on high his immortal
name,
Proclaiming this truth, that the Tem
ple of Fame
And Temple of Good are one.
. i
For this is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began ;
mat those whose memories never die.
That shine like stars in our human
-sky.
And brighter grow as the years roll by
Are men wno nave uvea for Man.

By Cable to the Moraine Star.
LONDON, jOctober 21. -The earliest
dispatch regarding yesterday's battle
conveyedi the impression that the
whole .Affair was over in a couple of
hours; the British artillery silencing
theBoer guns and iafantry and then
imply charging right over the hill.
According? to tne latest aa vices, uow-
ever, the battle lasted eight hours and
nearly seven hours elapsed before the
last Boer gun was put out of action.
The Irish Fusileera and the King's
Rifles meanwhile had advanced to tne
assault and were shooting their way
the hill, driving the Boers bacfc
from shelter to shelter, until the final
rush of the British carried them to
the summit.
It was a bright clear morning, whicn
enabled the operations to be followed
by the staff officers witnout difficulty.
A curious fact was that several times
lull occurred in the. firing on botn
sides, the British infantry apparently
tftkinc breathing1 space m tne sun
climb and the Boers also holding back
their fire.
British Artillery's Fine Work.
The maerhificent practice of the
British guns was an immense help and
the success of the assault was greatly
due thereto. An enormous quantity
of ammunition was expended.
Once the British bayonets showed on
top of the kopje, the Boers retreated,
and when on descending the other
side they found a British battery and
British cavalry outflanking them, the
retreat became a rout, xne tsriusn
guns followed, and from time to time
threw shells among the flying foe.
The latter did not wait it'o try conclu
sions with the hussars and mounted
infantry, who apparently seldom got
near enough to deliver effective
volleys. The pursuit was continued
until dusk, when the Boers were com
pletely demoralized. A heavy rain
began to fall late in tne aiternoon.
whicn naturally impeaea artillery
work.
It is a striking coincidence that yes
terday was the Second anniversary of
a similar teat ot xsntisn arms in inaia
when the Gordon Highlanders stormed
Dargai Heights.
The Killed and Wounded.
The War Office announces that in
the fighting yesterday between Glen-
coe and Dundee, in jNatai, tnirty one
non-commissioned officers and men
were killed and 151 wounded.
A later dispatch from Sir George
Stewart White says that Sir William
Penn Symons is brighter to-day, but
that the doctor can give no further
opinion.
Cheers for Americans.
Lonpok. October 21. There was a
pleasing incident to-day as the-Ameri
can line steamer St. Louis passed the
British transport Gascon, about to sail
witn tne Uoldstream Guards for South
Africa. The passengers of the liner
cheered lustily, waving their hats and
handkerchiefs., and the soldiers re
sponded with three cheers for the
Americans.

the north. The exact destination was
nbt revealed, but probably it is some

Orange Free State, where the Boers
are assembling.
A Basuto Movement.
London, October 21. The para -
mount chief of the Basutos, accord
ing to a dispatch from Cape Town, has
asked permission to assemble the other
Basuto chiefs, with a view of inviting
them to pledge loyalty to the Queen.
This is assumed to be a forerunner of
a Basuto movement and the Orange
Free State burghers near the Basuto
border are said to be in a state of con
sternation, fearing that at any mo
ment the Basutos, despite imperial
instructions to the contrary, will take
the field and invade the Free State.
Heavy Loss Among Officers.
Londoh, October 21. The War
Office has issued a list of casualties in
the battle between Glencoe and Dun
dee yesterday received from the gen
eral commanding in Natal, Sir George
Stewart White, dated Ladvsmith.
October 21st, 4:20 A. M.

Symons, . who is mortally wounded,
two colonels, ..three captains and five
! A A - 1 Ml .
lieutenants were Killed and a colonel,
three majors, six captains and ten lieu
tenants were wounded.
This heavy loss among the officers
was due, as the latest dispatches from
the front show: to their valiant but in
sensate conduct in sticking to the
traditions of the Britsh army and re
fusing to use the cover of which the
men availed themselves in storming
the Boer position on the summit of the
kODje. t.
Among the rank and file tha hiiRKnra
had seven wounded; the artillery, one

fourteen killed and thirtv wounded:
the Dublin Fusileers, four killed and
forty-one wounded, and the Natal
police, two wounded.
Boers Demoralized.
The Outlook publishes a disnatah
from Cape Town, dated yesterday,
alleging that the Boers are not likelv
to make any further considerable
off ensive movement. The correspon
dent says: "They are utterly demor
alized and the men refuse to take
risks. They are growing to distrust

of Rhodesia.

. London, October 21. The War
Ufflce is still beseiged late to-night by

fied tothe War Office.

lettable news from boutn Africa is
'leae-rer the wires being so overloaded
with official dispatches that others filter
through in the slowest possible man
ner. The latest advices from Cape Town
show that all was well at Kimberley
on Thursday. Although the usual
water supply of the town was cut off,
there was ample water for the needs
of the town. -
The police garrisons of Fourteen
Streams and Trungs have arrived at
Kimberly. Everything tends to con
firm the statement that Colonel Baden
Powell temporarily worsted the Boers
at Maf eking, and it appears true that
upwards of three hundred wounded
Boers have arrived at Johannesburg.
The Boers, however, appear to have re
occupied the secene of the fighting, as
an attempt to recover the bodies of the
British failed, owing, it is alleged, to
the Boers refusing to recognize the
Red Cross flag. .
The news from Glencoe aroused im
mense enthusiasm among the British
resident of Cape Colony, and this is
rapidly spreading to Basutoland, where
it is feared it will further inflame the
desire of the r. a lives to participate in
the operations against the Boers.

CONDEMNED MURDERER'S -
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.

ward C. Flanagan, the DeKalb county

DeKalb county jail this morning. As
dashed through the door, and
past the guard who had the mur
derer's breakfast in his hands, he
snatched up the two-year-old baby;oH
Sheriff j Talley. Drawing a long
knife from his sleeve and clasping the
child to his half clad breast, the pris

Down one flight of steps and
through a corridor leading to the sher

cape from the prison, Flanagan sped.
holdine tne screaming child in his left
arm and bandismnsr his knne in his
ight hand.
But for the presence of the sheriff in
the corridor Flanagan would have es
caped. Sheriff Talley happened to be
in the room into which Flanagan
dashed. Mrs- Talley, the child's
mother, was also in the room. The
father and mother simultaneously
sprang upon the escaping prisoner. Mrs.
l'allev wending a broom and the sheriff
clutching Flanagan by the neck.
The guard came running down the
steps at the same instant in pursuit of
the prisoner and the three of them
over powered Flanagan and tore the
child from his grasp. The sheriff then
drove him back up the steps and into
the cell at the point of his pistol.
Flanagan has been confined in the
DeKalb jail since last February, await

RAISING COTTON RATES.
Central of Georgia Pots Up Freights to
North and Sooth Carolina Mills.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Atlanta, Ga., October 21. A
special to the Constitution? from
Dawson, Ga., says:
f The Central of Georgia Railway to
day, without notice, raised the cotton
rates to North Carolina and South
Carolina mills from 51 cents to 75
cents a hundred pounds, making an
inciease of $1.10 on every bale of
cotton shipped to these markets from
this point. It is claimed that the
purpose of this actian was to
make the rate to the Carolina mar
kets virtually prohibitory, throw
ing all of the cotton from this sec
tion which has heretofore been pur
ohased by the Carolina cotton mills at
better prices to Savannah for export
This would be considerable loss to the
farmers as well as business men of
Dawson, and indignation at the action
ot tLe railroad is general. The raise
is in direct violation of the recent or
der of the Insterstate Commerce Com
mission equalizing Dawson freights
with those of Albany, Americus and
Eufaula, and Dawson will appeal to
that body for redress.

his small hands were able. With an
angry roar the beast thrust its paws
through the bars, grabbed the child's
head and nearly pulled it off before he

is seriously injured. "

THE MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY.
Five Persons Concerned in the Murder of
the Qambrel Family Two Have Been
Lynched Others Arrested.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star
Memphis,1; TenBt., October 21 A
special to the Commercial Appeal
from Carthage, Miss., says:
Por the fiendish murder of the five
members of the CJambrel family at
Saint Anne's, in this (Leake) couoty,
two men have paid the death penally
one by burning at the stake, the.other
by hanging. Two negroes ar under
arrest beyond the confines of this
county and a posse is said to be in
pursuit of two white men. This last
statement, however, is contradicted
from another point and developments
must be awaited. I
Last night John Oliver Gray, a ne
gro, was captured after being chased
for miles in the swamps. Heconfes
sed. that he was one of the party that
did the murderous work and the posse
made short work of him. He was
hanged and his swinging body riddled
with bullets.
Gray in bis confession implicated
two white men, land these men, ac
cording to report?, are being pursued,
having, it is saidl, left the neighbor
hood.
The information that three negro
women were brought to Carthage by
the sheriff is not true.' The women
were at first taken into custody, but
later were released.
The negro Robert Smith is now in
jail here. Be was placed on a pile of
faggots, but afterward it was thought
that be might be innocent and he was
accordingly turned over to the sheriff.
A physician states that he is danger
ously burped. j
The storv of thecanture of two ne
groes at Yalpo City reached here to-
mgnt.
So far as information now goes, five
persons were in the party that attacked
the Gambrel family. Anderson
Smith, who was at first in the hands of
the mob and escaped, has established a
complete alibi. The entire county is
aroused. i
Id view of the fact that information
has been received that there were sev
eral cases of smallpox in Richland,
Ga , Mayor- Woolfolk, of Albany,
Ga., has ordered a quarantine against
that place. I
