Moreover there cumo to the

the New Yorker waa a passenger

Parham concerning the truth of the

treasure hunters, who opt fitted at

of the Mayflower, In which the party
sailed from New Tork In Heptember.
The old cup defender went to piece*
In a hurricane October 1 and her pas
senger* wer* picked up two day* later
by th- steamer Advance and landed
In Ifsltlmore.
On the He* (lull with the diver were
several Bin Rlaa Indian* who, like
him. could go naked over the elde. dart
like trout to the bottom and swim be
low there, say for flv# minutes, with
out rising to bregthe. Kvrn the “akll9**
diver does not know why the treasure
hunters shaped a courae south, south
west of Kingston, 90 miles, nnd drop
ped anchor between Banner Reef and
Robinson's Reef, They had a oharl
apparently, which guided them to the
spot where tradition says the Spanish
galleon foundered In 1190 on her way
from Banto Domingo to Spain with *0
mule loads of gold-17.000.000 worth.
A score or more of expeditions have
sought the treasure, but failed.
Found Wreek of Galleon,
Bo tho Bea Gull dropped anchor
xitnoty miles south, southwest
Kingston.
Every morning at sunrise, for fifteen
day*, tbs treasure hunters aped over
the breakers and Into the calm water
beyond where they sought the sunken
gallron. They were equipped with
water glasses with which to epy Into
the depths, and thus half a doxen
wrecks were discovered. One eeemod
to be a modern brig, or possibly a
ba rti en tine, steel sparred. Another
was the famous wreck Prince Rupert,
fend In the path of thte they came
upon the "find.**
The Prince Rupert lay tn a .coral
pocket, through a rim of which II had
plowed until cut wide open. The'hkln"
diver one day dropped Into the waters
of the pookrt and followed along tho
rent made by Ibe Prince Rupert. He
nays ho cams upon the skeleton of th*
gaheon and found the copper bolt,
which he brought to the surface.
The treasure hunters were elated.
Their dugout* were anchor* over th*
pocket and the water glasses lowered.
Through them them came Into vlow
two small guns of BpanlUh typk, nil'
except their mutates being Incrurted
In coral.
Millions Seemed at Hand.
Further along the gmlleon'a Long

necklace. The party waa thrilled by
the discovery. If tradition were true,

*u*d in Inspecting the troops:
ATLANTA, Dec. 12.—At tbs next
session of the legislature a bUI* pro
viding a modified form of the Austra
lian ballot to be used In all elections
In the state of Georgia will ba pre
sented. Meantime, efforts arp to be
mede toward oocuring a general sen
timent In favor of Its adoption.
Th* last legislature made notable
progress in the matter of enacting
pure election laws, but without some
form of secret ballot the state's sys
tem will never approach tho perfect.
The laws on the statute hooks make
nearly all kind a ot election offenses
crimes, and were they enforced to tha
letter there would bo no need of fur
ther legislation. Despite the drastic
nature of the new laws. It was proven
tn the recent contest In Atlanta that
they amount to practically nothing In
tho way of preventing Irregularities.
There Is not one of them which esn-
riot he made a nullity by subterfuge.
The use of a specially designed bal
lot. by which It could be told almost
unmistakably how every person voted
In the recent Atlanta election, has
called attention to the need of a bet
ter system. One of the generally ad
mitted reasons why Mr. Maddox ob
tained such a big majority fa bis use
of the blue ticket, while those of his
opponent were white.
Thar* was nothing Illegal, or. more
over, morally Irregular In the clever
scheme of tho Maddox managers. The
success of tlielr candidate was the
thought uppermost in their minds, and
naturally so. Tricks of the trade are

. Office and Governor's
on the life of Sidney Lanier, Geor
gla's great poet. His life was one of
sweet song. He saw the beautiful in
everything. His poems have carried
sunshine and hope to many a h»*rt,
and ho boa gone down In history as
one ot America's greatest poeta. The
program at the last meeting of the
chapter consisted of ten question* on
the life of thla famous man, the an
swers being embodied In Miss Need
ham'* paper:
Nothing but the peculiar conditions
In the south can account for the neg
lect into which southern literature ha*
fallen. These condition* grew out of
tho Civil War end the xtormy periods
Immediately preceding it, when more
attention had to be giv/-n to political
subject* than to literary pursuits, and
our poet*, though they sang ever *o
sweetly, wero passed unnoticed.
Bom* of America'* very beat litera
ture ha* come from southern writers,
yet that need of praise which la Justly
theirs has been given most sparingly.
What spirit la it that premptr cer
tain hlatorlan* to give Grant twice as
much space as his great rival, Robert
E: Lee?
South’s Literature.
Wo claim that tho south, renowned
In statesmanship and milltan; valor,
has contributed her full share to the
common literature of th* country, and
when full and Impartial Justice ts
given her writers they will rank with
tha beat.
Among those who have, reached the
height* In American poetry, tho one
who*# work ha* most strongly Im
pressed the critical consciousness of
the period. Is Sidney Lanier, whose
poem* are rated by a noted critic a*
‘‘the rarest product of English or
American literature, within the last
quarter of a century. He who wn* at
once, poet, critic. lecturer, musician
and prose-writer, the aweeteat singer
during the war; tho Incarnate spirit
of the south.“
He is now generally recognized «*
the moat distinctive figure In American
men of letter* since the passing away
of the New England poets. William
Hayes Ward ha* said. ‘‘When
rends Lanier, he I* reminded of two
writers, Milton and Buskin. More
than any other great English authors
they are denominated by this beauty
of holiness. Lanier Is saturated with
it. It shines out from every line ho
wrote.*'
Something of Lanier’s Life.
Sidney Lanier was bom In Maeon.
G*m, February 3. 1S42. 'HI* mother
was Mary Anderson, of Virginia.
who*a family supplied members of
house of burgrasc* of Virginia for a
long time, annd In more than one
feneration had been gifted In poetry
and music.
On the Lanier side he deMcended
from musicians and painters, ft fa
not surprising, then, that when quite
tt young cnlld he showed unusual'tal
ent for mualc and played well on
flute, piano, guitar.‘.‘banjo, violin nnd
organ before receiving any Instruc
tion*. He played the piano before ha
could write legibly.'
HI* school years were spent In Ma
con. Go. At the age of 15 he entered
Oglethorpe college, at Midway, near
Mllledgevllle.
HI* parents were very strict Pres
byterians, and this was their denom
inational college in the state. Here
be come under thf' Influence of Dr.
Gharle* W. Lane, professor In math
ematics; but perhnjSa. the teacher who
most Impressed Lanier's life waa Dr.
James’Woodrow, wfho had the depart
ment of science. He was greatly In
fluenced . by Professor Woodrow, for
he came into close companionship
with this able man at a formative pe
riod In his career, which turned his
mind 1n the direction of scientific In
vestigation, and revealed to higi the
value of nefonce In modern life and Its
relation to poetry rtod religion.
Lanier's mind wax* decidedly math
ematical and he became a. leader In
that department, as well ns prominent
In his philosophical nnd scientific
stgdleft. but ho testified that
greatest bebeflt was derived from
literary debating society which he at
tended while nt Oglethorpe college.
Ho graduated In 1860 with first bon
rs of his class.
That summer he vlsltrd his grand-
legend, on tales of Greece, nor’ myths
of ancient Rome; not on mysty wars
and loves and griefs waa that which
waa la hi* time best bestowed. It was
consecrated to symphonies of the south
nnd the Immortalizing of that which
Is southern. He fought for his be
loved south with both pen and sword;
and the pen waa mlghter than the
a word.”
He married Miss Mary Day, In 1667.
and had not been married a year be
fore a violent hemorrhage of the iungi
alarmed his wife and friend* and
caused him to resign bis prlnclpalshlp
at Prattville.
His father begged him to make Ma
con his home and eater his law firm,
this he did, and for five years studied
and practiced law, but the terrible
struggle against consumption had fair
ly begun and his suffering frame was
only held here a llttlo whll® by his
great force of will.
Ho was driven to Texas, to Florida,
to Pennsylvania, to North Carolina seek
ing health from-pine breaths and clover
blossoms.
Literary Life Began In 1876.
His literary life really began in the
winter of 1873, and his first poems were
written to his absent wife. He left her
and hi* two boys with his father in Ma
con to accept a position In the Peabody
orchestra In Baltimore. Asger Hamerilc.
his director for six years In this orches
tra. thus speaks of him: "I will never
forget the Impression he made on me
when he played the flute concerto of
Emil Hartman at a Peabody symphony
concert In 1478—his tall, handsome,
manly presence; hi* fluto breathing no
ble sorrows, noble Joy*, the orchestra
aoftly responding. The audience was
*pelll>ound. Such distinction, such re
finement! He stood, the master, the
genius.” m
•At this time he put hla knowledge of
Anglo-Saxon to a practical use by deliv
ering a course of lectures to thirty young
ladles in private parlors.
I/o alfio undertook a course of Shake
spearean lectures whirl), though they
taxed Ms waning strength to the ut
most. brought no financial reward, but
were the means of procuring him the
chair of English literature at Johns Hop
kins, and with this appointment came
the notice tliat he would receive a reg
ular salary; this stimulated his flagging
energies and aided him to give utterance
to hi* songs. Chief among these were
the "Hong of the Chattahoochee,” "A
Hnng of Love,” ‘The Revenge of Ram-
Truly, as some writer has said, they
were written with his life-blood. Also,
that his “Ballad of the Trees and The
Master,” and “The Marshes of Glynn.”
are “religion set to music.”
Hie Two Masterpieces.
Had I^mler written nothing more than
“Tho English Novel.” and the "Prind-
E les of It* Development,” he would have
r en known as a scholar of deep and orl-
S inai thought. He wrote several works
i prose, mostly pertaining to If
criticisms, and mediaeval history.
Among the former Is “The Scle—
English -Verse.” which has been consid
ered one of the most valuable contribu
tions to the subject of verse structure
yet produced; for In this he demonstrates
h theory of versification, musical and
rythmical, yet entirely his own. And
yet, It Is not aa a prose writer that he
as at his best.
Weakened by exhausting hemorrhages.
. 5 went for the summer to Rockingham
Springs. Vu., and here In his feebleness
"did the full work of a strong man." A
severe Illness seised him here, hut rally
ing he returned to Baltimore. The
amount of work which the dying man
then accomplished waa marvelous. He
opened three lecture courses In schooln,
attended constant rehearsals, lectured on
the university, and all thla time wns
writing poems.
