den Jubilee of the M
Way to the W
D.cr Lodge, Mont., July 22, 191?.
.-Kui tor Keowee Courier: The year
is more than hall Kout1, and I have
just now found time for my annual
lei ter, freighted with good wishes for
The Courier and all its readers.
The climate In Montano hs? ebtuig
c'd greatly in the last few years. In
winter and spring it is almost as
damp as Oregon, and iliis causes
much sickness. There is very little
sunshine, and rain fell every day or
nigh! during Jun?-. Last week lhere
was frost, which injured the crops
thal had been planted during the
sunny days.
During April lhere was buried in
the Deer Lodge cemtery ?1 man who
was foreman of tin- gang of men that
const incl ed the first railroad across
the Isthmus of Panama. He was !)6
years old and his name was Patrick
Cahalin, hut he was known in seve
ral Western States as "Panama Pat."
Me was hale and hearty, und might
have lived many years yet If he had
not met wit li an accident a fall that
caused his death.
I have written of the pioneers of
Montana once before, hilt would like
to tell something ol' how they cele
brated the 50th anniversary ol' dis
covery ol' gold in Montana. Thc
meeting was held in Deer Lodge.
Livery pioneer in the State who was
well enough to come was here, and
they had the greatest tim?' they ever
had at an annual meeting. Three
thousand dollars were contributed by
some of the wealthy ones for their
entertainment, and they had nothing
lo pay for board and lodging, and
automobiles wer?' al the station io
meet incoming trains, and all were
carried io a store, where they regis
tered and received badges before be
ing shown to their lodging places.
'Those coining to Montana in lS.">t?
had while badges, and there were
very few of those. Prom that date
to I St,:: tlie badges were of red rib
bon. Those arriving in I si;;; had
purple badges: tho next two years
pink ribbon, and from that year l<
ixr.7 (the limit to membership as a
pioneer) the badges were of gold col
ored ribbon. A purple one was giver

It was an inspiring sinlit as these

shaking hands and talking to peo
ple. I mei a few that I hadn't seen
since my first year in Montana. Most
of the .old timers" are accompanied
by their Wives, and when called upon
during the after-dinner talks, both
men and women can iel! many stir

miles in wagons, mostly drawn bj

would like io tell something ol' thes<
experiences, but my letter would ix

hardy and brave men and womel
have a righi to be proud of their rec

The third and last day of the re

displayed; some had miniature
cabins and campfires ready for light

tols used by pioneers crossing the
plains, when (hoy stood guard at
nigh) or fought Indians. One old
nu is the property of a man in Deer
Lodge, now ?S years old. In tho pro
cession were old covered wagons with
?-amping utensils hung behind and on
the sides, and children pooping out
from under tho cover; old stage
coaches, in which old-timers were
riding, carrying nuns. Of course
one of tho coaches was attacked by
"road agents" (robbers) and there
was a vivid picture of the real old
style of robbing -bands were hold
up, and one old fellow threw his
? purse out. A long line <>f pack
i mules followed. They were used lo
carry supplies over the mountain
trails before roads were made. Ono
wagon, drawn by six oxen, guided by
long whips, had a banker for one
driver, a merchant for another,
j (However, for safety's sake, the
lowlier of the oxen sal up in front ol'
the wagon and held the lines.) Tho
drivers wore overalls, big hats and
high boots. Tin- rear was composed
of Pioneer mon and women and
grandchildren, some walking, some
riding on horseback.

TOKKKON FALLS TO KKHKLS.
Six Day? Kequired by Rebel? I? Wrest
city from Mcxb?" Federals.
.Juarez, Mexico. April 2. Torre?n
fell completely Into the h.nuls of the
rebels at 10.20 o'clock to-night, ac
cording to announcement made here
to-night by Qen. Venustlano Car
ranza.
Tho news first was announced to
the world when the bugler in front
Of Carranza'S residence blew tho
staccato notes of victory. The paean,
Carranza said, was sounded here
even before it was heard In Torre?n,
Villa delaying out of compliment to
his chief.
Tho meagre bulletins excitedly an
nouncing the victory after the blood
iest series of battles known to mod
ern Mexico said that Villa capturad
a large number of prisoners and thrt
the fleeing Federal remnant was be
ing pursued.
Whether Veiaseo, the Federal com
mander, was captured was not stat ld.
There was heavy fighting to-day, it
is understood, and the end cairo
when, after capturing the three re
mailling barracks held in the city hy
the Federals, the rebels stormed the
trenches and barbell wire entangle
ments of Canyon tie Huarache.
The (prisoners captured are be
lieved to have been the defenders of
the barracks, while the troops in the
canyon, which forms an egress from
tho hill-girt city, were able to escape.
Two Weeks Ago.
The campaign against the Federal
stronghold of Torre?n, the main ob
ject of the rebel campaign, began
suddenly two weeks ago after (?en.
Villa had spent months In making
most careful preparation.
The rebel loss in this campaign ls
saitl to be more than 2,000 killed and
wounded. Trains loaded with wound
ed hive been arriving daily at Chi
huahua for the last week.
The rebel commander moved w'th
a rapidity hitherto unknown in Mexi
can warfare. He worked his men in
shifts, and as one shift became ex
hausted he sent fresh hosts against
the enemy. A number of small towns
of lesser importance In a military
sense fell first-Mapimi, Xoe and Sac
ramento, where a bloody battle was
fought. This opened a path for the
main attack.
Next came Lerdo anti Gomez Pala
cio, populous suburbs of Torre?n,
and all three connected by a belt
street car line. I ?ordo was not de
fended, but it took three main as
saults, in which the rebels lost heav
ily, to take Come/. Palacio.
In the final attack on the city
troops were withdrawn from Lardo,
whereupon the Federals occupied it
and another sanguinary conflict was
necessary to retake it.
j The First Dash.
Last Friday, six days ago. Cen.
Monclovio Herrera, with his own
brigade and part of Benavides' Zara

first dash against Torre?n. He en

To-night came tho I' '.3 call of
victory. Mexicans rece /.ed it in a

instantly. Out of thc- saloons and
I gambling balls the crowds rushed
? until all places where crowds congre
gate were empty and the throngs
stormed up the street to Carranza's

Repeatedly the bugler sounded the
call and a great wave of cheering
I arose. The electric lights strung
abont the Carranza residence last
Sunday to welcome him were turned
on.
By Carranza's orders all the town
was illuminated, soldiers of the gar

only amended by the House to the
amount of $8:'..7">. This is a record
that has never been equaled by the

Ile does not care particularly how
this ls brought about, so that every
white Democrat can voie in our pri
mary. Ho-vioes believe that ?.:"h re
strictions should be thrown arounu
the primary as will prevent dead
men. radicals. Hull Mooses and resi

ll? is in favor ol" a thorough te
fe-.,! of our school laws so that it
shall become the duty of the State,
and not of the various counties, to
educate the children or the State, lt
ls contrary to all public policy that
negro children in one county shall
receive more per capita for their ed
ucation than white children of ano
ther -minty as is now the case. All
are the children ol' tho State ot' South
Carolina, and not ol' any specific
[county; therefore, it is the duty of
the State to soe that pach child has
an equal opportunity to obtain a
common school education.
Ho is in favor af a thorough re
1 form of our taxing department so
.hat tho burdons ol' government will
I fall on those most able to boar it and
who receive the greatest benefit from
I it. As at present organized, tho tax

j every mangy pig, lousy calf, baiik
I rup! Stock of goods, and all half
I worn household and kitchen furol
; lure on tho tax books, while many
inst sources of revenue are loft un
touched.
In other words under our present
tax laws, our tax officials aro, with
devoted zeal, catching tho measly
revenues that drip from the spigot,
while tho bung Is loft wide open, and
just revenues, that should enrich tho
coffers of the State, are allowed to
flow into tho pockets of private Indi
viduals and corporations.

Ile also believes that our present
laws in regard to land titles work a
great hardship on the owner, when
he wishes to hypothecate his lands
to borrow money. Ile is in favor nf
adopting the Torrens System of land
registration as rapidly as tho needs
of the poople require.
There are a number of other re

these he will also bring to tho at
