All thia li very aolemn and very tad, but it haa ita counterpart when they wrote of love. Boott aaid : "In peace tov tune the shepherd's reed, In war he mount the warrior'! iteed, In eourt 1 eeen In it attire. In hamlet danoes on the green. Lore rule the camp, the eourt, the grove. And men below and aalntt above, For love to heaven and heaven I love." Solomon lays, "Love is as strong death," and "God from necessity love," and "Love thy neighbor as thy elf." And Wordeworth save, "A mother's love it the holiest thing alive." A mother's lovel I was watching the eagerness with which our neighbor, Mrs. Munford, was cherishing the memory of her lost daughter, the sweet girl who had charge of the library books committee and whose memory now seems like a beautiful dream a , dream to us, but not to the mother who never will forget. When the Cherokee Club prepared to make a memorial for Mary she pleaded for the privilege of placing it where Mary was wont to sit and have sweet companionship with those she loved. Her beautiful home was nothing and money was nothing. She said the library is in debt live or six hundred dollars. Please let me pay it off, for Mary felt like it was her debt. Let me have the floor varnished and have chairs bought instead of benches, and I want some nicer tables for Mary's Bake. Please let me have a memorial for Mary here and give it her name The Mary Munford Memorial library? And so it was done. Who could refuse a. mother's tears for the memory of her loving daughter, and so it was done and the sign over the door will be the Mary Munford Memor ial library. But this is not all of a mother's love. She is going to buy the books that Mary would have bought and made a donation each and every year. Now, ?ood people, all who tarry or pass through Cartersville stop a little while and see what love has done a mother's love. I wish that committee appointed on Mr. Stovall's bill would come and see this model library and go back and plead for that $6,000 wherewith to build the Winnie Davis Memorial Hall. The patriotio women want it and to do the veterans whose time is nearly oat. May it be your last and beet work for . Miss Winnie, whom we all loved. Bill Arp SCTIOJALIIX A T rum Banmora.ua. ". ' No longer ago thaa laet Thursday a negro convenlioa la Memphis, rep presenting U Bute of the Union, adopted a reaolption thanking the newspapers of the Booth for their atti tude toward the recent lynching in the Northern States and denouncing the Northern press. Bight upon that comes on Saturday the account of a double lynching of negroes in Danville, 111., accompanied by an anti-negro race riot. The officers of the law were thrown aside, the walla of the county ail battered down, one of the negroes slowly strangled and the other beaten and kicked to death. Then the dying wretches were cut and hacked to piece, and finally their bodies were burned by mob which must have included almost the total population of the town. When a particularly fierce lynching has taken place in either Illinois or Indiana the Northern papers have derived some comfort from the fact if it was a fact that it happened to take place in the southern part of the Bute, adjacent to Kentucky or Missouri IT is not because of the proximity of those Southern States that lynching take place in Southern . Illinois and Indiana, hut because it is in that end of the States that the negroes, or most of them, live. But in this latest North ern lynching; even that consolation is denied our New England oontempor riea. Danville, the scene of the tragedy, is on the Indiana frontier and north of the middle of the State, bun dreds of miles from both Kentucky and Missouri. We are therefore compelled to seek some other moving cause for these uprisings. It was the fashion when a jiegro lynching occurred in the South to blame and denounoe the South- WW VlallliTi Gen. Cassias M. Clay, of Kentucky, whose death wag noted In The Sua last week, was man of inordinate family pride. He thought so much of his pedigree that when he was the editor of a newspaper at Lexington, before the aril War, kept standing at the head of his editorial page the following an nouncement: Although I regard Henry day as one of the greatest men our country has produced, and esteem him personally fur his many virtues of mind and heart, I feel that it is onlv lust to my own family that I let the world known we are not in the remotest degree related by consanguinity. I come 'of a long line of landed aristocrats stretching back to the dawn of history. I did not found my family. Henry Clay is the founder of his own race, as he ia the splendid architect of his own great for tune. While he Is worth of all respect in Kentucky and the world, it should be known that none of the blood of my family courses through his veins." - The name and fame of Henry Clay will survive long after General Clay has been forgotten. That magnetic states man, who was "the founder of his own race," possessed varied accomplish rnnr or tub clbu coat, lean, Chartoo Cbean . There was somewhat of an exodus of colored fancies from Charlotte to New York last night, good colored people, who were doing well here, but who had listened to the stories of big wagea and easy life in the North and took the bait They are leaving the best friends they ever had to locate among a people of whom they know nothing and who know nothing of them. The Observer remembers reading a few weeks ago of the experiences of a colored- woman who went to New York to better her condiUon. one tu promoted 119 a month wages a cook. When she got there she waited a month before the employment agency oould locate her in a family and then the price of hei ticket to New York and other expenses which the employment agency had advanced had to be deducted from her wages before anything was coming to her. She was in a strange place among strange people, without employment for a time and after she got employ ment her wages were not her own until she had earned enough to pay off the people who took her to New York. By the time she had satisfied theee claims CAT aroaui The cat ia mentioned ia liter tore frequently thaa any other but the refereoeee are not always of an affectionate nature. Buf- foo says: "The cat k an unfaithful animal, kept only from necessity in order to suppress a less domestic and more unpleaaant one, and, though thee animals are pretty creaturea, especially when they are young, they have a treacherous and perverse dispo sition which increasea with age and ia only diaguiaed by training. They are inveterate thieves; only when they are weO brought up they become a flattering and cunning as human ras cala." Shakespeare also makes several unkind remark about cat. "Hang off, thou cat, thou burr, thou vile thing!" cries Lysander in "A Midsum mer Night's Dream." 8oottish cats were accused of witch craft as far back aa 1591. In that year when Jung James of tngland was crossing from Denmark a great tempest arose at sea. Thia was supposed lo have been caused by a "christened cat" being placed in the vessel by witches. The following is an extract from an old pamphlet: "Againe it is confessed that the said christened cat was the cause that the kings maj estie's shippe had a eontrarie wind to the rest the shippee in his companie, for when the rest of the shippee had a a nofsa, svasosirru. she was ready to return South. It took menta and was endowed with a mental a month's wages and a little over to vigor with which, so far as is known, buy a ticket home.
