BILL A RP' Bill -?Lrp Tells of Hih zer, .limnfa Ct A few days ago I received a letter fr.un a friend and it was post-marked ! I'elzcr. Ile said I was wanted there j to talk to thc people, aud he ventured (.. ?ix the day and the compensation lor loss of time and waste of tongue, j I had never heard of Pelzcr, nor could i lind it on my antiquated map. But I did lind it on one of later date, and i -.imposed it was some little village that ; lind a cotton mill and dam on thc Sa- ? lu.ia and some tenement houses. * Nevertheless, I accepted the call, for ; the oiFer was liberal. The next mail j brought a similar invitation from ; Piedmont, another mill town, only six miles from Pelzer. So I journeyed from Atlanta to Greenville, and there changed cars for my destination, which ls only twenty miles away. It was night when I roached the place. My good friend, Mr. Padgett, who is the democratic postmaster,' took mc to his house. I had not seen the town, for it was quite dark. "What is the prospect for an audience?" I inquired. "Verygood," he said. "I think you will have sev ei il hundred people out to hear you." I ' Why, how large is your town? What j js your population'/*' "About 7,000," I he said. I was amazed. A town fl twice as large as Carterville and 1 I never beard of it, and it is not on my 1 map. He explained by saying it was ? only twelve years old, and had four H large cotton mills that empl >yod over ? 2,000 operatives, and consumed nearly I 100,000 bales of cotton, and the com t pauy owned some 3,000 acres of land, fl aad all the houses und stores and j I churches and several miles of the riv I er. "Did you advertise me pretty H well?'' I inquired. "Oh yes," he I said. "We church folks told it toev I erybody we met, both in the town and I in the country, and they all said they I were coming." "Publish it in thc H papers?" said I. "No, no. We have H no papers here, aud no printing office, ja We didn't have a poster or a hand j I bill, but wc talked it a good deal." | H Well, I listened und wondered, and j 5 ay confidence was shaken. After a R bountiful supper and a little mixing I up with the children, we went to the ? large church where I was to hold ? forth, and found it already pretty well I filled. In a brief time I stood before ? more than 500 people, and was in I spired to make my best effort, for I I had an orderly and attentive congre ga gat ion, aud wo all fell in love with ?g one another. I have never had a more gratifying lecture occasion. Next morning was spent in viewing the city and the mills and library. The merchants carried immense stocks in large stores, and there were many nice residences for the managers and the heads of the various departments, but they were all built and are owned and leased by the mill company. This company owns and controls every foot of land and everything that is on it. Captain Smythe, of Charleston, is the king, tho czar, a big hearted and brainy man, and everybody respects and loves him. His the son of that celebrated Presbyterian miuister of Charleston, who during his ministeri al life was a notable man in religious !circles. I remember that ho was one of my father's friends. "Who is your mayor?*' said I. We have none; no mayor nor aldermen, no municipal corporation, no marshal or police. Captain Smythe runs the town. Ev erybody who comes here for employ merit is investigated carefully. His j antecedents must bc good or he can't | stay. Wo have no lawyers nor edi tors; don't need any. We allow them toc?me in and look around." Bid R you know that I was a lawyear?'' said * 1- "Oh, yes; but wo learned that nt you had quit the practice and reform ed, and so we invited you." hf "I don't see any negroes about ,ni here," said I. "No, we don't want b them. They are a few, but they live jc outside. Some of them cook and wash a for us, but Captain Smythe don't want ) us to mix with them or depend upon them. He wants everybody to depend upon themselves as much, as possi ble." "And 80 you have ruled out lawyers, editors and negroes ?" "Ves," said he, ,fand there are no sa ja loons or blind tigers or cigarettes." "How shout'doctors?" I asked. "Oh, of course, we have doctors; yes, we ? have'two dociors'and bue dentist and four preachers, all select, and one photographer." The company has a good pablio library and.pays a man to keep it, > I visited mill No. 4, an up to dato ^ mill in all respects. It is operated by electricity that is generated two miles ' distant at some falls of the Saluda * Ri ver This mill amazed me. No Vcoal nor no steam. It is 128 feet wide ??land 528 feet long and is fonr stories (Jflhigh. In one groat room I raw 60, ?000 spindles turning. In two others DtSthere were 2,400 looms. . IC requires ?1,100 operatives to attend to this mill, pitad it takes 56,000 bales of cotton for 9 Hayer r's supply. Just think of it. S LETTER. ; Heceiit Visit to IJel S. C. institution. The superintendent. Mr. Guy, had the elevator stop about half way up be tween Hours so that 1 might have a good view of thc machinery and busy boys and girls in this spinning room. This room he called bis children's roeta; not the children's room, but iuy c lildren's room, he said. Seores of little chaps, not more than ten years old, who looked their love fur him. They were the brightest and healthiest children I ever saw in a mill, and earn from 2.") cents to CO cents a day. Many of the grown girls carn from GO ceuts to $1.23 a day, and the average pay of them all is 02 cents. This is good wages, for their work is easy and healthful. The rooms are never too hot or too cold; for the temperature is kept uniform by fans and heaters in the basement. No grease or fatty matter is used on the machinery nothing but pure mineral oil. These children are required to leave the mill at certain periods aud go to their pub lic schools, which are supported by the company. I visited the school and found 300 of thc pupils gathered in the large room to receive mo and listen to a brief talk about my old school days and some words of encour agement to cheer them up. Mr. Guy, the efficient superintendent of mill No. 4, is an Augusta man, and has been in the mill service for forty-four years. In the packing room I ob served that all the bales are marked to Shanghai, China, and I heard that China is the best customer of South ern mills. That government used to buy from Mew England and old Eng land, but they bought their goods by weight and not by the yard, and in course of time John Bull and the yan kee got to mixing white clay with the starch to make the cloth weigh heavy, and so they turned their trade down South, where people didn't adulterate everything they make to sell. Said Mr. Guy to me: ' There is no sizing in these goods except that made of pure boiled cora starch.'' Nearly all the capital iu these great mills is from the South; and there's millions in them, for Piedmont is on the same river and is only five miles away and has two large mills and an other is going up at Belton, a few miles below. In fact, the traveler through upper Carolina is hardly ever out of sight of a smokestack. In a few years that State will consume all the cotton that is grown in it. What a glorious prospect. AU around Pelzer and Piedmont the farmers are prosperous; for they have a regular, eager market for anything they grow, and I saw their wagons coming in on every road. I visited Piedmont and stayed a day and night. It is a duplicate of Pelzer, though not so large; having about 5,000 people. It is most efficiently managed by Mr. James L. Orr, Jr., a son of the gov ernor and statesman. Ile, too, is a king and a czar, and his word is law about everything. He is respected and loved by every man, woman and child iu Piedmont; and the stockhold ers have nothing to do but look on and receive their dividends semi-an nually. Piedmont is more elevated than Pelzer, and thc views from her hills are charming. Aud . then her flowers; oh', the beauty of them. Out door chrysanthemums -and roses were in all their glory, Mrs. Richardson sent my wife a box full by yesterday's express that excelled anything that I ever saw in a conservatory. She gave a caution to the expressman in theso lines on thc box: "If you desire to climb tho golden stair, Handle these flowers with exceeding care, If you expect to play tho golden harp, Speed them with safety to Mistress Arp." The lyceum and public library at Piedmont ia an interesting place to visit and is liberally patronized by the workers in the mills. Connected with it is a home-made insurance or benefit association, a kind of savings bank, where for a deposit of ten cents a week the family of the depositor gets forty dollars whenever a death occurs This is of course to provide for funer al expenses and a decent burial. In this library is the finest collection of Indian relics that I ever saw anywhere. Fortunate peoplo to have such phil anthropic guardians. Old Father Pelzer does not live there, but he is near enough to keep a fatherly eye on these numerous children. He is a Charleston millionaire, but lives at his up country home, not far from the beautiful Mill City which he founded and which bears his name. Just think of it, my Georgia friends; 60, 000 spiudles turning in one room, and 1,400 looms weaving in two others! Why should qot every cotton growing oonnty iu Georgia, yea, in South Car olina, do likewise. Our Conaty pro duces ten thousand bales annually, and sorely our farmers can build a mill large enough to manufacture it and double its value. BILL ARP. ACROSS THE (?ltKAT DIVIDE. UV WILLIAM BITTKNIIOI sr. j Which of us does not remember thc i celebrated drop of water which, fall ing on thc very summit ul'tho great continental divide, eau take its choice of going cither to tho Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean, and which has served to point au obvious moral ever since the geography of America has been known? The Great Divide is ??tamete figure of speech, either, but a very imposing reality, as all thc transcontinental railroads have found; and its interest is not ut all confined toits watcrshedding qualities. The story of the advance of the railroads across its crest is one of the romances of history, and would require a volume to do it justice. It was in 1841 that Asa Whitney, a New York merchant, first began to dream of making a road across thc American Divide, lie had been in China a few years before, and became convinced that thc trade of China, India, and Japan could all he gained for the 1'nitcd States by a transcon tinental line. He proposed to con gress to build, at his own expense, a railway from Lake Superior to Puget Spund if he were granted a strip of land sixty miles wide all along the route. For twenty years he strove to push his plan, but thc government considered it a fantastic dream, and Whituey died, poor and disappointed. Not until 1804 was a bill finally pass ed, through President Lincoln's influ ence, which authorized thc building of the Union and Central Pacific Rail roads. The Central waa to lay its rails eastward from the Golden Gate, and the Union to commence at the Missouri and advance westward. Wherever the rails met, between thc river and coast, they were to join. As there was a heavy subsidy, how ever, granted for every mile of road forty eight thousand dollars a mile across the Rockies, for example each road was anxious to outstrip the other, and thc garders, working like ants, passed each other, and still kept on until two hundred parallel miles of roadbed (but without a rail) were finished. The tracklayers, of course, had to stop as soon as they met, which wa? at Promontory, Utah, where, on May 10. 1800, the last tie was laid. It was made of highly-polished Cali fornia laurel, bearing a silver piate with the names of the olficers aud directors of each company, and the rails fastened with four spikes, two of gold, from California and Idaho, and two of silver from Nevada and Montana. The original idea of a line across the continent was that of trade with the East, as has been paid. For many years, indeed, it never entered men's minds that the land between the Missouri and the Sierras was worth anything at all. It was con sidered a barren, rainless desert, fit ODly for the buffalo and the Indian. "Money invested in the Great Amer ican Desert will never come back," was the phrase of one cautious capi talist. Yet nowr.days exactly ninety five per cent, of the earnings of these roads comes from local traffic, and only five from that through trade from which Whitney hoped so much. It is even an actual fact, that "with the advent of? the railroad upon the western plateaus the climate has be come milder, the cold less destructive, and the rainfall greater," for the planting of trees aud ploughing of fields everywhere has broken the force of thc wind and increased tic evaporation. All this, of course, has not been done without' infinite toil and sacri fice. Many "pathfinders" of the engineering force lie in forgotten graves along each mighty track across thc continent. Thc ludian, painted, feathered, and treacherous, has hung about the camps of the surveyors, the garders, and the track layers, as they havo followed each other steadily into the wilderness, and has left a bloody record of massacre behind him. Grasshoppers have clogged the wheels and stopped the locomotives, and snow has buried the crews to starve. This problem of snow, indeed, has been one of the vital questions upon all the transcontinental routes. For two and three years before each one was laid out the engineers have lived in winter camps along the proposed route, observing every summit, slope, and valley, learning from the currents where the snow would drift deep and where the ground would be blown bare. They had to study the secrets of the avalanche and the "flurry" or local hurricane produced by the passing of the soowslide. The result of it all was thc snowshed, a purely American invention, of whose interior construc tion our picture gives an idea, but of whioh the outside is really the impor tant part. In building a snowshed the engi neer first considers the slope on which it is built. Sometimes, when this is too abrupt, he banks his shed on the upper side with a cedar orib filled with rock, and above and round that is placed a baoking of earth and rocks, until the whole hillside is a smooth and even grade. Sometimes, on the other hand, he hollows out a eurve farther up the mountainside to turn the snowslide when it comes, <T ho surrounds his shed with trestlcwork. Generally an open summer track runs outside thc sheds, as th?' traveler likes to sec the scenery. Along tho top of the sheds a trough is often i nih, through which thc water of thc mountain springs run. to housed in ease of tire. (Jpen breathing spaces are left here and lhere between the shed>. as othcrwi.se the smoke from the locomotives lilis them, making them dark and dangerous for the train-LOU, und hiding Menais. These open places must ho especially pro tected from the avalanche, and the engineer build-a . split"' -a i.?an gular pon, like au inverted " V,' lilied with stone, above the gap. This will cause thc slide, if it comos, to pan and pass harmlessly over the tops of tho sheds. Thc Great Divido is not an even one by any means. Thc Colorado Midland road crosses it ten thousand feet above sea level, the Union Pa cific at eight thousand, and the Can adian Pacific at only about five thous and. But suow falls every month in the year on thc northern divide, while in Colorado, at very high eleva tions, the valleys arc steeped in sun shine for half the year. Yet thc Cen tral Pacific has sixty miles of snow sheds to the six miles of them on the Canadian road. This seems hard to explain, unless by the superior deter mination of the American road to pre vent possible delay, and the fact that where the passes are so much higher avalanches arc more frequent. Thc Canadian Pacific road, though built after ours, was built under even greater difficulty. It runs through magnificently rugged mountains-the Selkirks, the Gold, and tho Cost Ranges-and has, besides, to deal with "Jumbo," a mountain quicksand that oozes out of thc cuts and covers the track, and with boggy "muskegs," on whose elastic surface tho track "creeps" or follows the cars, some times moving two feet forward during the passage of one train. It is esti mated that the road was twenty per cent moro difficult to build than any of our transcontinental lines; but, like them, it has been worth far more than it cost. America and Canada, us one writer puts it, may have made thc railroads in the beginning; but nowa days it is truer to say that the rail roads have made Canada and America. - Forward. - A well known cleric was address ing a congregation of seamen at a waterfront mission. Thinking to be impressive, he pictured a ship trying to enter a harbor against a head wind. Unfortunately for the success of the metaphor, his ignorance of seamanship placed thc ship in several singular positions. "What shall we do next?" he cried. "Come down off the bridge," cried an old tar in disgust, "an* lemme take command, or ye'll 'ave us all on the rocks in another 'alf second 1" The Words of a Famous Mission Worker.

It's much thc same way in the detec tion of disease. While the amateur is blundering along over misleading symp toms, the specialist goes right to the real cause and puts an arresting hand upon the disease. It is in such a way that Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi cian to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, buffalo, N. Y., succeeds in hunting out and arresting diseases, where the less experienced practitioners fail. More than thirty years of special study and experience have enabled Dr. Pierce to read symptoms as easily and as truly as the Indian reads a trail which is without a hint for a less acute vision than his. Any sick person can consult Dr. Pierce hy letter absolutely without charge. Each letter read in private and an swered in private. Its contents are held as sacredly confidential.
