They got here on Saterday even ing, an as pa steped frum the trane, West End band struck up Dixie, an played it awl through the huggin, kissin, an handshakin. I shore wuz much obleeged to em fur showin pa an ma sich grate ,honer. I expect to treet them boys awl bi myself, when I git rich-if not sooner. Sunday we had so much cumpany that Jeems called^me out to won side an axed if he hadn't better go out summers an borry sum cheers. But I ,told him it wood never do to borry on Sunday, an fur him to jest bring in the wash bench, milkin stool an a'few boxes an set em in the parler, an I thought we could make out all rite, and we did. Won day we awl feasted at Mr. Cecil Thomases, an Jeems et till he bursted the top button offen his britches. Them at bad to wate tawlk ed about gittin fence rales to prize the rest up frum the tabel. Atter we had et till 'we couldn't, we wuz made to git outside of a big slice of cake an a sasser of ice creem, fur fear it wood melt later on! We went through the same perfor mance down at Mr. B. P. Murray's at Mollyhorn, an pa et ice cream fur ma, till she sed she had- enuff an beg ged him to stop. Mrs. Murray shore set a fine t*ble fur us-but I'll bet her hart akkd before it wuz over with! We intended to spend a our or too with Mrs. John Darby, but she wuz gone off to a weddin summers. I tuck dinner with her won Sunday-so did Jeems, an we shore injoyed it. . As we went down to Mollyhorn, we stopped in the ice facktery. an Mr. Wicker showed us awl over the hull thing, an explaned the misteries of ice makin. He made snow fur u4, too, an treated us mitey'nice. I'll-not fergit that pleasant trip soon. When we started, I 'mplaned to him that we1 wuz tryin to show pa an ma awl the good things in town, an thanked him tur his curtesy. He ansered: "Well, Mis Becity Ann, I'mi glad you awl cunm to see me. You air worth sumthin to the town-any body is, who takes a interest in boomin a good thing." SAs we started out, there wuz a wag in standin at the dore loded with ice, an* hitched to the biggest gentleman cow I ever seen, Mr, Wjvcker laffed an sed if his carridge wuzen't 'loded he'd take us to ride. We told him We'd take the will fur the deed that pop, and see him later! We had anuther big feast at W. M. Thomases on Thursday, where Jeems tride to brake awl previous rec.ords fur eatin. He busted too buttonsof that day, an I told him he'd have to sew em on his self-that I .wuz plum tired of his crazy doin's. We air ,indebted to Mr. Jesse Jones fur won big treet. He carrid us awl on top of the mill, where we could view the hull city at wonce. We had to go up sum mitey steep narrer steps an crawl through a leetle scut tIe hole that opened on top, an I had no idee we could git ma to make the venture, but she wuz game an clim up nimble as eny of us. Mr. Editer, the1 scene frum up there is shore grand an inspirin, an we. awl appreshated the kindness of Mr. Jones. As pa Crawled through that scuttle hole the wind wuz a blowin his tong beard ever which away, an he looked fur awl the world like a jack-in-the-box. Mrs. Cecil laffed an told him so, an we had a big laff at his expense. We intertaned won nite, in honer to pa an ma, an had sich a crowd that Jeems axed If we needed the washbench agin, but I told him I thought we could make out by doub-1 blin up. Mr. John Franklin brung his fornigraf an amused,us with sum. fmne sarmonts, speeches, dialogs an resertations, an we awl injowed it fine. I tell you them mersheens git by me,the way they can talk an go on fur awl the world like a human.

Like everbody else, they wuz peterfide with amazement to see what a fine place West End wuz, ani how we awl injoy life-thanks to our good president and -superintendent. who air detarmined to make West End a perfect leetle Eden. I don't be leve there is anuther sich a mill or sich intellectual an Intelligent mill peepil, in the hole South, an I take specil pride an delite in boomin West End. Through the kind invertation of Mr. Eugene Werts, won of the finest men that ever had a spell of perli tickle fever, we had the pleasure of goin awl over the new court house, the pride of Newberry. Mr. Werts showed us how he keeps books an file papers, an I tell you it wuz fine, the way he had things arranged in order. He carried us awl over the bildin, an we admir ed it to our harts content. Mr. Gog gins insisted on assistin Mr. Werts, an kindly showed us over his depart ment, which is shore a nterestin place. There is a place fur every thing, an everthing in its place, up there in that court house. Mr. Gog gin shode us much curtesies-also the turrible weepons taken frum prisoners. We never teched em-jest kinder peeped at em in. a drawer. Sheriff Buford wuz in there two. I wuz shore glad to have pa ai, ma meet that extinguished man. Atter we got hom I told em a lot of his explites an doins. Pa he wuz jest plum carried away with Newberry an Newberry peepil an horspitality.

To each and awl who helped to make pa an ma have sich a good time while visitin us, we extend thanks. Yours trewly, Becky Ann Jones. LEVER ON WICKERSAU. Fires Big Guns of Oratory at Attorney General-Cotton Litigation Text. Washington, June 13.-A criticism of the adininistration's proceeding in New York against certain cotton- op erators and Southern spinners, on ac count of the alleged cotton pool, wa~s voiced in the house today by Repres-1 entative Lever, of South Carolina. Mr.1 Lever declared the suit was "rush to the relief of a clique of reckless cot ton gamblers threatened with a dis aster into which they put themselves." "In the~ years to come," said Mr. Lever, "I suspect this interference of the attorney general in behalf of those who had combined to depress the price of cotton as against, those who may have combined to raise will be pointed to as one of the chief glo ries 'of this administration-this, andr h.is prosecution of the tobacco grow ers of Kentucky and Tennessee who in self defense and when driven to the last extremity combined to tear the grip of the tobacco trust from their throits. "He had a fertile field to employ the machinery of the department of justice in breaking up the beef trust, butter trust, -sugar trust, steel trust and other trusts world without end. Why' not try the temper of his steel against these thick-hided .' old sin ners?" "Let the attorney general feed all out of the same spoon and not make the mistake of believing that high priced cotton is a criminal and low priced cotton a divinity." Mr. Lever contetided that (he opera tons of the New York exchange tare a constant serious interference with commerce.. -He declared that a great change would come over the spirit of the dreams of members of the New York cotton exchange "if Henry W. Taft, its attorney, who is a brother of President Taft, should announcp one evening at the close of the market that he had been called to Washing ton to consult with Attorney General Wickersham about the affairs of the exchange, and that the attorney gen eral had directed him to return to New York with a. message. to ex change members that he had made upj his mind to stop illegitimate trading in future contracts.". "Turn your guns on the big crimi nals," urged Mr. Lever, "and scourge the temple of high finance." HOTEL ROW IN SPARTANBWRG. Alleged Attempt to rTrow Young Wo man Fromi Second Story.
