The Old Twine String.
BY MARIA LOU EVE.
[From the Atlanta Constitution.]
Not a bouquet of rare exotics,
Made by a gardener’s cunning skill;
Only a bunch of common roses,
Withered and dead, but fragrant still,
Tho’ it’s full four years, in the coming
spring,
Since he tied them with an old twine
string. • 0
“A bunch of roses, dead and dry;
And why,” quoth I, “should it be kept,
When even the day that.made it dear,
Is dead to me, and all unwept?”
“And surely, I said, “’tis a worthless thing,
With the stems tied up in an old twine
string.”
But somehow, then, that simple knot
That held thro’ all those changing years,
Touched, all at once, a tender spot
And tilled my eyes with sudden tears—
"He tied it,” I said, “like a ’trothal ring.
Tied a true-love knot, in the old twine
string.”
“Alack!” I said, “the twine is strong,
It holdeth fast, thro’ time and tears.”
I put the roses softly back;
I’ll keep them yet, a few more years,
(I wonder I did such a silly thing)
For the foolish knot, in the old twine j
string.

Presidential Calculations—The Tote
by States.
Now that every important election pend
ing the vote for President has been held
we have accurate data upon which to base
calculations as to the true result of that
contest. Let us look into the matter dis
passionately and try and see accurately
and truthfully which party will elect its
candidate next year. The Democratic States,
with their respective electoral votes, are as
follows:
Alabama 10
Aikansas. 6
California 6
Connecticut 6
Delaware 3
Florida 4
Georgia 11
Indiana 15
Kentucky 12
Louisiana 8
Maryland 8
Mississippi 8
New York 3)
New Hampshire 5
Tennessee 12
Texas 8
Virginia 11
West Virginia 5
North Carolina 10
Democratic electoral vote 198
The Republican btatos, with their re
spective electoral votes, are as follows:
Colorado S
Illinois 21
lowa 11
Kansas 5
Maine 7
Massachuset ts 13
Michigan 10
Minnesota 5
Nebraska 3
Nevada 3
New Jersey . 9
Ohio 22
Oregon 3
Pennsylvania 29
Rhode Island 4
South Carolina 7
Vermont 5
Wisconsin 10
Republican electoral vote 170
In the above tables we have given the
Republicans the bene lit of every doubtrul
State. We have put nothing down for the
Democrats which does not belong to them,
either by oft-repeated votes or recent vic
tories. We, by no means, concede that
Ohio, Oregon or Pennsylvania will vote the
Republican ticket, when the real issues of
the Presidential campaign are presented
to them. Nor do we concede Illinois or
New Jersey. But give them all to them, ,
and still the Democratic party will tri
umph.
All in the world we have to do in order to
hurl the Radical party from power is to
close up our ranks and unite the party
upon a great, wise and noble platform
which contemplates tho resurrection of the
country from all the woes into which the
Republicans have plunged it during the
last fifteen years. We must thrust aside this
useless cry about haid and soft money,
a veritable apple of discord thrown by our
enemies into our ranks for the purpose of
distracting us. We must fight the enemy
upon their meiits, holding up before the
world their venality and corruption, call
ing attention earnestly’ and truthfully to the
ruined trade, the bankruptcy, the decline
of commerce, and general prostration if
not actual destruction, of every vital inter
est in tho United States, each and all di
rectly traceable to the misgovernment of
the party in power. We must ask the peo
ple if they want four more years of such
dreadful times as we are passing through
now. is thei e a single hope to be derived
from the Republican party? Can it give
the country a single guarantee that if it is
continued in power times will be better? —
Can it assure more confidence between
capital and labor, a revival of eommerceby
land and sea, work for our mechanics, now
almost either universally idle or laboring
for a scanty supply of food and clothing,
work for the common laborers, better
prices for factory products, better prices
for farm produce? It is notorious that
the whole country Is on the retrograde.
Nobody is prospering. Great interests are
breaking down and going to ruin by the
hour. Wo charge that the Republican
party is responsible for all this. We be
lieve that a Democratic administration
would restore our ancient prosperity. Will
the people continue the medicine which
has brought them to the verge of the
grave, and instead of curing one ill has
produced a thousand more ?
Having enduring faith in the wisdom of
American citizens, we hope not. Though
often carried away by excitement, we have
faith in that grand declaration of Martin
Van Buben who rose to the full measure of
a statesman when he said, “The sober sec
ond thought of the people is always right.”
What sometimes becomes of a man
whose chief ambition is to shoot at a
mark; “ The crack shot of the Swiss
marksmen present at the German Fed
eral Rifle match, held at Stuttgardt in
August last—Staub, of Waedenswell
(Zurich)— is now in a mad-house, suf
fering from mental aberration induced
by the success that attended his shoot
ing.”
Gapt. Joel W. Anderson, who died in
Greenville county, was buried at Smyr
na Church, in this county, on Tuesday,
26th ult., by the brethren of Cross Hill
Lodge, No. 159, A. F. M., the deceased
being a member of the same.
Why is a fashionable lady on the
street like a neat chambermaid ? One
is tidy around above, while the other is
tied around below.
And now approaches that delightful
season to the young and ardent, when
coal fires are started in the parlor and
the old folks grow sleepy at an early
hour.
When Blobbs’ wife brought out his
rubber boots and rubber overcoat,
Monday, he remarked, enthusiastically,
“Waterproof this is of your affection,

Mention is made of a"veteran in Al

Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very oomplete. Over forty per
cent; in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its seourty against fire.
