Wouliln'1 il bo a good idea for 1 he
young ladies of Newberry to follow
tiie example set by lire young- men,
and organize a gymnasium association
! An hour spent, each day in it
would l>o of great, physical benefit
to tlies young women who are contined
in the shops, stores, ollices and
school-rooms.
Senator (iraydou of A.bbeville has
introduced a hill denying any person
the right I<> set up the plea of
sell' defense in homicide case where
a pistol was the instrument, of deatili
unless l.lie defendant was at tin; time
of the killing' on hi< own premises.
Are we l<i infer that if this measure
becomes law ili.it lie who kills on his j
own premises with a pistol is entitled I
t'> lie acquitted on (lie plea of self
defense ivyacdle> of the eircuin- |
stances.' Tin re i- as niueh reason in j
tlie latter principle as in |he former. I
It is rallier strangi. that so many
distinguished citizens of Sout h Oaro- 1
lina, men who are know to be honest, <.
honorable, men who are cultured and
polished, should care to he elected 1
to the t'niled States senate, where
tlrev would have In associate with '

what to do w irli the oTd count, house
biul.ling. don't forge! that Newberry
needs a wagon yard?not on t.he
public square, however.
If vou are a progressive citizen of
Newberry, he sure to contradict a'.iy
report Inat may be in circulation that 1
a man got stuck in the mud on lilie [
street so j? that he had to be pull- i
v?d out. It w'as a horse, not a man. j
And at the same time, can't, you say
to Iiic members of the town council !

IN A STEEL MILL DISTRICT.
Life of Men Who Ddlv Face Death
for a TiW Deilais.
I
Chicago Tribune.
linn, M.ilciv west 01' tiie nulls of j
the Illinois Steel company, ai South i
Chicago, there is a colony about 1
three-quarters of a mile long, and a
quarter of a mile wide, which lias no
count'er-parl anywhere on the globe, j
There are in that colony from 7,000
to 10,000 men of thirty different nationalities,
and living in thirty dif-i
fereni ways.
To the sttrangvr it might seem as
if these thirty( countries had each ;
sent a number of their men as exhibit.-!
for a sort of international living
museum. Hut this is not the case.
The men were driven from home by
]>overty, and they came to South
Chicago to work in the steel mills and
(better their conditions. Nearly all of
them are men in the prime of life-?
n ml til* thirty. The greater part of
1ihem are unmarried, and of those
who are married but a small number
have their families here.
Most of them stay hero a certain
period, save a few dollars, and return
to their native land, where they
spend the rest, of their lives filling
the soil six days in the week and
in "Ameritsa" on the seventh day
over a glass of vodka or a jug of
kvas.
The few having families in this
country work until they are incapacitated,
tMitlu'r by accident or through
natural causes, or until Chey reach
ttlio ag'O limit?forty-five to fifty.
Then (hey live on what their children
earn or else they keep boardMi's.
Of the (5,000 or 7,000 immigrants
of the Slavic races, about 500
aro listo.1 by the company as being
able to speak English. To the rest
the Knglish language and American
customs the sealed books.
To tiie superficial observer the
life of most of these immigrant;* may
"seem primitive. They wear the same
shirt for weeks. They seldom undress
"when th'ey go to bed, especially, those
working at night and sleeping in the
vlny-'imo. Bathhouses ar? unknown
in that vicinity and the congestion
in 'the louses where 'hvy lives is
more than most civilized men having
an income of $10 to $12 a week, as
those people have would submit to.
But- this unnatural life, unnatural
even to them, is the result, not. of
savagery, hu1 <xf the strange conditions
and harsh surroundings with
which they are confronted upon their
arrival here. America to tlmm is not
a country for people to live in, to
have homes, iiud la mi lies, hut merely
11 country work in, to make a
lew dollars in, and to yet out of as
last ;?. > one can.
Legendary heroes braved tiro drag<> '?
in their search for golden hoards.
Those mill workers, men ol" more or
less primitive instincts, comiii^* from
primitive, environments, hare the

the most complex and dangerous
machinery, to earn a C.iw dollars

other nationalities, as they were enterin::'

'Much home, life among them?"
he was asked.
"Ilome life? 1 should say so. They
live Iwculy-live and I lurly-ilive in
one room, so there must he home

shudder. The policeman then told of
certain places in the neighborhood
where nearly 100 people lived in Ihe
same space and number of rooms
which an American working-man's
family of live would occupy.

"Let I hem defend Ihe cigarette as

dead.
"Then Tom. diirusted with Hill's

"Why. Hill.' he said. 'I gave my
horse a pint of turpentine and it
killed hi:f .'
" 'So it did mine.' said Hill."?

When Secretary ('ortclyou left the

to iisuine direction of the pustollice

diyuiliied and gentletnanly old darky

A day or two after Mr. Cortelyous'
assumption of his new dignities
the old messenger was d'O/.i.ig in his
chair just outside the anteroom of
the postmaster general when another
messenger approached him. saying:
"There's a gentleman in the room
acros the hall who wants to see
Mr. Contelyon."
"He can't see him.'' was the
tirm reply.
"Hut he says lie must see him."
persisted tho second messenger.
''I do.1 't know nothin' about
d'at." returned the old chap; "but T

acquaintance Pound Jamie, lying al

"Ts that you. Jamie?" asked th*
acquaintance in a voice of the greatest
astonishment.
"Aye. it's me" replied Jamie in a
tone of complete resignation.
"Have yon fa'en doon the stair?"
was the next question.
". T fell doon. but- T was comin'
