For tho moment she forgot her little missive and did not read its contents, but ere long her thoughts returned to it, and she drew it from her bosom. Theso are the few words it contained : "My Dear Little Sweetheart: I was unable to bid you tho farewell I desired, as so many unconcerned persons were present, but you will frequently, bo the subjcot of my meditations when we are separated by many miles, and my earnest de sire is that I may occupy a prorainont position in your thoughts, though I feel confident that your sympathetic and affectionate heart will never allow you to doubt such sincoro love as I humbly place at your feet.

"From your devoted lover, "Irby Wallace. "June 26, 1889. "W. P. C." Her had just completed tho nott and was pondering o'or its contents when she was suddenly aroused fron her revery by a slight noise, follower by a gentle tap on her shoulder Imagino her astonishment when sh< observed Arnold stationed near ber "Will you not extend to mo youl welcome, Her?" cried the boy. "(), Arnold ! is it you ? I am de lighted to seo you after our length] separation," she replied, as ho cor dially grasped her hand. She was distressed when she ob served his altered appearance an< her quick eye at once detected melancholy expression which ha< settled upon his brow. His fae maintained a manlier and more seri ous appearance. Ile occupied th vacant portion of the seat, by he side, and they at once entered a con vcrsation. They informed cac other of their school work. II( also, had just graduated, at Jackso University, with highest honon lie was an intelligent boy and mad a success of any task assigned bin Her spoke of her progress in ai and she drew from her telescop quite .a collection of her colleg friends' photos and placed them, on by one, before Arnold. Suddenly hectic Hush covered her cheeks, r she threw another in his lap an awaited his opinion of it. At fin he did not utter a syllable, but final! said : "Her, this is a handsome gentb man, and L fear, judging from a] pearances, that bc is dearer to ye than a mere friend. Who is ho ?" She rapidly covered it with tl photo of Mary Etta, as she replied "He is an intimate friend of mir and appeared happy to render me ar possible service and to make my co lege life ono of. pleasure. Of conn I would have no gratitude within n should I not appreciate it all. Ho President Wallace's son, and this my dearest friend and room-mat Mary Etta Jackson.

"That is a master-piece of a Her," replied the boy, ns he gaz earnestly at the girl's handsoi work. Among tho numerous photos p sented to view ho observed one Her. "May I be the happy possessor this?" ho questioned ; "it is ind* splendid." "I bnvo no objection to you ov lng it," replied the girl. "Thank you, little sister. I sh always highly prize this gift a think of the donor." And ho placed his treasure in pocket. "If you do not deem me impei nent, please bo so kind as to Offer information concerning \ho miss you were pondering over as I ontei icc T ' KKOWBK COUKIKH.] the coaoh. You appeared quite happy in your meditations and I re gretted to disturb you. I am natu rally interested in you and feol con fi dr ut you will never refuse to tell this to me, your brother." A orimson glow oame into her oheeks and not a syllable did she utter until several momenta had elapsed. - "Is it true that you have ceased to bestow your confidence upon me ? Will you tell me where you obtained thc lovely diamond ?" be oontinued, suddenly spying the ring. It occasioned much pain to inform him of these sacred feelings and a great confliot arose in her heart, but she felt that it was her duty to tell him all, as sho would a brothor. "Yes, Arnold, I consider it right, as a sister, to inform you of my in-' tentions-I am, ere long, to bo Prof. Wallace's bride. Ile is kind to rae and humors my every whim. I shall endeavor to bo his affeotionate and obedient wife, for this he deserves. I feel confident that we will be con genial and happy. You all will be rid of quito a charge. This is a token of his sincere affections." And sho placed tho sparkling jewel into bis hands. Aftor reading the few words engraved upon its sur face, he replaced it upon her finger and his ?face becamo pnllid, as he sank upon the seat. His attitude alarmed Her and she immediately obtained a glass of wator from tho rear of tho car, and aftor placing his head upon ber lap, gently bathed it with the cold liquid, but ho had only swooned and, ere long, returned to consciousness. His eyelids slowly unclosed and, for a moment, bo ga/.ed at tho fentures of ber face, now bend ing anxiously abovo him. "Are you well ? If so, you may sit up," murmured tho girl. "Yes, thanks to you, I am all right once more, except a tittle faint, but allow my head to remain thus for a few moments, hero whero I may gaze into the depth of your lovely brown eyes. It was only the awful shock that caused this slight attack, and you were so kind to me." "Arnold, you must not stay in this manner, and if you have any respect for my feelings you ?viii obey at onee. I am delighted to know that (his illness did not terminate more severely and regret, more than words can express, causing it." "You have nothing to regret ; I am quite well and should bo willing to faint again, provided I might obtain that inexpressible pleasure that I, for a moment, experienced and have so faithful a nurse as your self," continued the boy, slowly rais ing bis head. "Darling Her," he moaned, "I can not realize that ere long you will wed Irby Wallace. No ; this shall never be. I shall yet win you, though at present no hope remains." lier was soon wrapt in a deep revery, but her meditations were disturbed by the voice of Arnold. "Look, little sister! Is not tho sunset o'er the hill lovely, and does not the summer breeze remind you of the fact that we aro approaching dear old 'Sunny Side' once more, after our long absence ? The peo ple, the birds and ?von tho houses seem to welcome us homo. It is pleasant to near Hennctsburgh again, especially so for one after having been away for almost two years." "Yes, indeed," she answered, gaz ing at the throng of people assem bled about ibo train. She observed many familiar faces present to meet them. Aftor ex tending greetings to all of their friends present, Her and Arnold entered a cab and wore soon bound for "Sunny Side." CHAPTER IX. As Her and Arnold approached "Sunny Side" a lady, also Aunt Fanny, appeared on thc front ve randa waving handkerchief in tho air. Tho old negress wore a broad grin. Her and Arnold roturned the salutation. It. was pleasant to ap proach tho home of their childhood, after so long an abscenco. A thrill of joy penetrated bis frame as bo offered Her his assistance in ascend ing thc steps and her dress slightly brushed against bim. Ho was near bis ideal once moro and was enabled to bear ber voice, which seemed as music to his ears. Apparently no hope remained for him and sho offered no encouragement ; yet bo continued to trust, for perhaps tho future would bring a change. Press ing bis lips tightly togethor he mur mured to himself : "I shall win her yet. Tho affec tions I endeavor to crush increaso | daily." The greetings of welcome extended to Her and Arnold by relatives and friends were numerous. Mrs. Edroncs gave them a reception soon after their arrival. Her was arrayed in a new robe of pink satin, made for this special occasion, and if possible appeared to Arnold more beautiful than ho had over before beheld her. Uer robe was made so aa to display her lovely neck and arms and the gems of her chain sparkled as the rays of light geutly kissed them. A simple bracelet of gold, voe gift of a college friend, bung loosely upon one arra. The gem of her engage ment ring glittered as the illuminat ing light fell upon it. Arnold appeared quite obarming in his evening toilette. He smiled SB he thought of tho waltzes he would enjoy with Her, but this pleasure was not in store for him. She was popular and every man de sired to waltz with her, and previous to finishing one set she was engaged for the next. Thus it continued for almost the entire evening, and Arnold was una ble to obtain a waltz with her. He being host could not show his prefer ence for her company, so he was compelled to either select another partner or rofuso to danco. He be came quite jealous of his guests and waB unable to enjoy tho company of the young ladies, chosen as his com panions. Ile endeavored to listen to their merry chatter and pretended to have a pleasant time, as he wore as broad a smilo ns possible and answered their questions solemnly, attempting to be as happy as the others around him. At length timo for tho last set arrived, and Arnold rushed wildly toward Her, who was at this period minus of a partner. This was to bo a gorman. "O, Arnold !" she cried, ns he joined her, to partake of thc next dance, "I thought you were not going to choose mo as your partnor for a single sot, but was determined to dance with you, oven though I should be compelled to ask you for it," sho continued, ns a gentle laugh escaped ber, "and I suppose I've refused at least a half dozen offers, using, as my excuse, that I bad promised tho danco to another. As for you, naughty boy, apparently you do not appreciate it in tho least." "Do you really care to dance with mo ?" he replied. "Why certainly," she continued. Too soon approached tho time for thc guests to depart and there was a great hustle in thc hall, for thc crowd was dispersing and bidding the kind host and hostess adieu, de claring tboy had spent a most enjoy able evening, thc memory of which would long dwell in thc hearts of all present. When tho guests had departed Her entered the drawing room, and there, beside tho window, gazing earnestly at the moonlight, whieli fell in soft rays upon the dark waten of thc lake ; with bis head resting upon his hands, sat Arnold Kdroncs lost in rovery. At first she thought she would not disturb him, but bet heart wan touched when she observ?e him thus, and upon farther medita tion she decided to find the cause o this, for, in thc moonlight, his fact showed signs of secret grief, or : great conflict raging within him. "Arnold, my dear brother, wh?? are you depressed in spirits? In form mc of your troubles and allov mo to offer my sympathy." Her voice trembled ns these word fell from her lips. "Only a severo headache, which trust will soon pass away. You ad dress mo as 'Brother Arnold ma I have a brother's privilege, if onl for once ? You have never allowe me that pleasure ?" Not waiting for reply, bc genii folded her within his cm braco an kissed her repeatedly. Sho romaine quito still ; astounded for a momen and presented tho appearance of statue of inarlilo as she was st? tioned near him, not a muscle mot ing, neither she herself showing sigi of having observed thc evonts trai spired. Ile called ber several time but received no reply. She was loi in meditation. "Ile had no right to thus offen her, and sho would not suffer th to continue. She was no longer lu own, but betrothed to another ar would not accept Arnold's advances Such waa tho revery of Her Stephen and suddenly she faced Arnold 0" said in quito an angry tone : "I'm surprised that you. should ii dulgo in nu net so rude, nnd if th is what I must receive for callir you brother, I assure you that I slit: never address you in that mann again, and you aro well aware of tl fact that I am soon to wed anotlu I am Irby's betrothed. Why shou you thus offend mo?" And with sweep of her dress she left tho roc before he could realise what he hi said or done to wound her feeling Ile heard her rush up tho steps, ai when *be had reached her bi chamber, the slamming of a do was audible; to him. When she entered her privr apartment she quickly jumped int< pale blue kinnua and threw hers into a large rocker and wept bitter lier whole frame trembled wi emotion. Why should such troui bo placed upon ber? She could 1 understand tho reason, but mi face it nil with a bravo heart.

Slanders by a Northern u3a??uin? Writer. Mr. Klbort Hubbard, the editor of The Philistine, a magazine rightly named and living up to th? standard of the anoient enemy of Israel, has made a vicious and unwarranted attack upon the cotton mill Industry of the South, after a week's visit to this section of the country, whioh is in keeping with the reckless and audacious character of a writer whose chief oharactor and aim is to viihiy sud traduce other people. It is questionable whether lt is wise to con trovert the statements of such writers in regard to the South, but now and thou it may be well to flatly contradict them with the existing facts, and in this in stance the editor of The Philistine has been bandied with gloves off - by Col. Jas. L. Orr, president of the Piedmont Cotton Mills, whose letter to Mr. O. H. Sampson, of Boston, Mass., is herewith printed: Dear Sir: Please accept thanks for the oopy of The Philistine containing tho article, "White Slavery in the South." lt is a vile slander on the management of tho South Carolina cotton mills and a wanton and unjust attack on the Massa chusetts capitalists who have invested their money in the South. The statement that the mills in South Carolina are mostly owned and operated by New England capital is a mistake, and very little inquiry on the part of the writer would have prevented suoh a mis statement. In many of the mills less than 10 per cont of the capital stock is owned in the North, and very fow of them indeed have ac much as 50 per cent of Northern capital in them. Tho man agement is almost exclusively by South ern men. The executive officers, with one or two exceptions, have been born and raised hero; three fourths of the super intendents also. Tho statement that in many instances tho machinery of the cot ton mills has beon moved entire from Massachusetts to South Carolina is without the slightest foundation of fact to sustain it. In 1801 South Carolina had about 14 mills and IK),000 spindles, in 1901 she had 130 mills and 2,000,000 spindles, so it must be soon that tho mills are of comparatively recent const-motion and they nave boon boned ted by the experience of New England, boon built by Now England engineers aud equippod with tho latest Alia most modern machinery. Perhaps tho host illustration of this may bo found in the fact that the agent of tho Draper company recent ly st at ed that there woro as many Draper looms running in South Carolina alono as in tho whole of tho Now England States combined. Tho most thoroughly up-to date mills that may bo found in this country or in Europo either, are in South Carolina, and the slightest investigation would| have shown this fact, for it has boon commentod upon by newspapers and periodicals all over the country. Tho statement that tho mills run from J o'clock in tho morning until 7 o'olock at night is false, for tho law limits tho hours of labor to 60 por wook, and run ning over timo is an indictable offence. Tho statement as to tho company stores is grossly incorrect, for in some sections of South Carolina tho mills do not run such st ores at all, but ront tho buildings to merchants and have nothing whatever to do with tho sales of tho goods or tho solle?.lion of debts, and this rulo applies to tho majority of tho mills in tho State, it is almost universal in tho northwest om part of tho state at suoh mills as ri ed m on t, Pelzor, Bolton, the Anderson mills, Abbeville, Greenville (with ono oxcoption), Newberry, oto. In nono of tho company stores are tho operatives required to trado at such stores, lt is purely voluntary on their part. Tho stat ement that nine! cen families out of avery twenty never soe any cash is utterly [also, as they aro paid off ovory two woe ks. Tue stat em.Mit thal tho hoad of tho family can get whiskey and pay for it with an order on the company store shows tho voracity of tho other state ments given. If it woro possible to do so there is not a company store in South Carolina that would permit it ; but to .?stablish thc utter falsity of tho charge it is only necessary to refer to tho fact that in ?South Carolina liquor is only sold from tho Stat? dispensary and cannot ho bought tlu i o oxcopt for cash, and tho party io gets it must sign his namo to tho rev? s?f!->u w here tho whiskoy is ob tained. While all of tho largor mills in this State disapprove of working children under twelve years of ago and most, of thom luive passed rules forbidding it, oxcopt in cases of absolute necessity, still children as young ns ten aro worked in some of tho mills. This is occasioned, not from the cupidity of tho parents or mill managers, but from necessity. Wo havo no laws in this State limiting the years in which chiidron may bo worked. England had no such laws until she had boon mauu facturing 100 years, and Now England had no such laws until they had boon in tliis business 50 or (10 years. But, not withstanding tho sneers and vilifications of our people, South Carolina will havo a law regulating tho working of chil dren long beforo ci t her of those had it, in proportion to tho longtb of timo they havo boon engaged in cotton manufac turing. Tho only placo t hat child ren aro worked in tho mill is in the spinning room and for swooping, and while. 0(5 hours a week is a long time for a child to work, it is not confining or arduous labor, and tho host illustration that it Is .ot so regarded by the children themselves is that 95 por cent of thom would rather work in tho spinning room than on tho farm or go to school. Spinning is paid for by tho sido: that is, tho number of spindles oporatod by a child or a grown person is paid in exactly tho same proportion, and any ono with tho slightest oxporienooof man ufacturing knows that the children mako far more waste on account of inattention and lack of skill than tho larger hands: BO instead of being economical ovory mill man knows I hat it is tho most, expensive labor wo havo. As our people becomo ed neat cd ill this chai actor Of work and moro skilled tho children will bo wooded out, but now, on account of tho scaroity of help, they aro used in this department. Tho st a i ement that tho operatives aro debased, wort bless ,'uiil cruel is most Un just. They aro all natives and all of thorn havo como off tho farms or from tho towns where Uley havo been engaged in various occupations, and will compare favorably as to intelligence, moral char acter and industry with any other com munity of laboring people in this coun try or olsowhoro. Thoy aro far superior to tho foreigners who operate tho Now England mills; in fact, thoy aro exactly tho samo class of people that wero en gaged in tho mill business in Now Eng land fifty years ago, and those who re member tho condition of thc mills in that locality at that time as compared With tho p i es e 111 condition Call judge our peoplo correctly. The statement that children fivo and six years old aro em ployod, mado frequently in tho article, is utterly false-indeed mendacity must bo a disoaso with any man who makes it. Tho nssortion that children aro shaken, kicked and othorwiso abused in tho mill is absolutely falso, and any man who undertook it should, and most assuredly would, got out of tho town moBt quiokly with a coat of tar and foathorB, for if there is ono thing peculiar to Southern operatives it is their solf-rospoot and willingness to resent all injury to their persons or that of their chiidron. Many of them carno to the mill becauso thoy havo to work at manual labor and thoy cannot only earn moro wages, but secure many social, educational and religious advantages which they could not obtain on tho farms. They aro descendants from tho peoplo who mado the narho of South Carolina glorious in the revolu tionary war, and they aro tho children of tho mon who fought four years for what thoy bolievod to be right, and thoy havo not in these few years become tho besotted, Ignorant and oruol d?g?n?r ?tes pictured in this article. They have tho samo feelings of affection and ambi tion for the success of their child ten common to all Caucassians, and any ono who had the slightest regard for truth or justice would not have pict med thom as this man has done. I cannot imagino what object he has in view save to gain notoriety and vent Ids spleen against a whole people. His statement that children do not go to school, cannot learn, and are utterly neglected at the mills is completely re Mexican Hustang Liniment don't star on or near the surface, tnt goee ia through tho muscle* and thauas to the bon? and drive? oui ali tor un ?ai andi f For a Lame Back, Sore Muscles, or, in fact, all Lameness and Sore ness of your body there is nothing that will drive out the pain and in flammation so quickly as Mexican .
