We have installed at this mill one of the mbst up-to
date ginning outfits that money can buy. It consists of
[four 80-saw, ball bearing Munger gins with ajl the lat
est attachments. This gives us a daily capacity of
eighty bales of cotton.
We are anxious to ' gin- your cotton this season and
buy your seed, and we expect to be able to meet com-,
petition on seed and all oil mill products. Our price
for ginning will be 2I> cents per hundred pounds of lint
cotton, which we believe to be a very reasonable charge
in view of the amount of money we have spent to in
stall this outfit.
? Any time you are in ; Camden call on us and look over
.the outfit. We appreciate your patronage and will be
to talk business - with you.

pro|HTty, where wo say many unusual
HjKH'imea* ?>f iiowern and fruits. we
pawned (^rougu Held Hftor field of al

pa rent ly lielng mole abundant than
other crops, Oqr route also lay through
Knglish walnut, orange, lemon and !
|M?aeh groves. Some of the Xrult*, es
pecially the lemons, hear the year

ed fruit on the same hoes. We notic
ed an advertisement of a farm which
read : "Karly vegetables and late lem
ons," The alfalfa Is apparently fine
In California. It Hells, I am Informed,
at $H per ton and yet we imy some
thing like $20 for It In the Kast. Af
ter passing through a fine fruit coun
try we began to approach the coast
range of the Hlerra Mad re mountains,
I noticed before we Itegan the ascent)
; on a sigu board we passed, that the
i elevation above sea level was 200 feet,
but when we reached the (Spp we were
at an elevation of 1,500 feet. The#a?
1 cent of these mountains by the cars
reminded me of the climb I once made
J on the Clinch field road from Marlon,
N. C., to Alta Pass. The train made
several distinct loops and It took three
engines to pull It. On the entire trip
from Los Angeles we passed through
i20 tunnels, some of them being a mile
anil a half in length. We traveled for
hundreds of miles right along the Pa
cific ocean, sometimes being as near
to the water as 100 feet. Parallel with
f. . '<? t .
the railroad track are fine asphalt
roads, along which countless automo
biles were si>eedlng.
I took a dip in the Pacific ocean at
Santa Cruz, where we Kpent the night,
hut did not enjoy it so much us the
water was too cold- After leaving
Sabta Cruz we passed through a re
gion fine from a scenic standpoint.
One canyon we saw is very celebrated.
The mammoth California redwood trees
at "Big Tree" station, where we left
the train to see these wonders, *are
celebrated the world over and Justly
so, for no one can get the faintest idea
of their immensity until they see them,
l^he largest is called "The Giant." . It
381 feet high originally but a wind,
-storm broke off 65 fe,et of the top* but
it still stands the ?'monarch of the
forest" at a height of. 806 feet. .. It In
65 feet in circumference and 22 feet
in diameter. Another is the Cathe
dral, which is 300 feet in height and
110 feet iu circumference. This tree
stands in, the center of group of 17
other smaller trees, all of which
sprang from its roots. The Redwoods
are classed as males and females. The
mfcles like the "Gen. Grant," send up
no shoots from their roots. The fe
male tree, on the other hand, repro
duces other trees from Its rooms. Oth
er notable trees are the l^cKinley,
Ilnrrison, RooSevelt, Bryan, Sherman,
besides many other notables. One pe
culiarity about these trees, is their
longevity, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000
years. From the largest 482, 000 fee*
of lumber C9uld be cut. One of the
trees is named for Gen. FremofijW
known as the 'Tathflnder of the E efcjP
Mountains," and has been hollowed
out by the decay of its heart so that
25 persons cfin easily get inside. The
tree has been in this condition, it is
said, for hundreds of years. General
Freemont had his headquarters in the
hollow of the tree in 1846, when in
Service in the United States army de
fending California during the Mexican
war. There is nothing to divert one
from the sight of the trcfes at Big Tree
station for there is nothing there but
the trees and ? the railway station, It
hT a beautiful shady place. /The San
Ixirenzo river, a small stream, winds
around through the forest making it
very picturesque. Otf the whole, pext
to the Grand Canyoit of Arizona this
was the most wonderful sight we have
seen thus far.
We can understand now why Cali
fornia is called "Golden," because of
the predominating color of things glv
??n by the grain at harvest time. It
}vas a unique experience looking from
the cafr wlndo\v with the tall moun
tains on one side of the train, a short
distance away, and on the other, the
ocean. Before reaching San Francisco
we passed through the rich Santa
Clara fruit country. Apricots, prune*,
onions and peaches seem to. be the
principal products. We passed through
Palo Alt^the seat of the Iceland Stan
ford university located in the famous
Santa Clara valley. I find the weath

paid Dr. Williams no more than the

he removed himself from bin profes
sion, and when In the course of time
he may wish to return it will not be
readily that he will pick up the clien
tele that he threw away to come to
the call of the state of Houth Carolina.'
And for what end? To be abutted by
tl great many |>eople who conduct them
selves as if they should lie, under hUt

The Charleston Medical college pays
lecturers for al>out nine months of
,eaH.v work salaries ranging as high as
$4,000 a year; there are numerous phy
slcfans In South Carolina earning*more
than $10,000 a year. Railroads and
other corporations in this state pay
mere attorneys handsome salaries for
looking after their business and pro
tecting them from "ambulance chasers."
Governor Manning, realizing the pe
nuriousnesH of the state, which de
mands the best service of her- sons and
gives but poor recomjwnse, called this
young man to the colors ? and Fred
Williams is making good. He will
' j
earn, has already earned, hi paltry
dollars and cents more by far than his
salary, and he is starting a revolution
for the sake of humanity, j>erhaps for]
the' saving of souls as well as, of bo I
les and minds.
And it was not the state's money,
which Governor Manning agreed to
pay to I>r. Williams. It is the per
sonal-fund of It. I. Manning, accumu
lated through a life of common sense
and business foresight, combined with,
activity, honesty, fair dealing ant^
clean living. He saw the wretched
ness, the suffering, the degradation of
the inmates of th4 state hospital, and
his heart was wrung. He determined
that their sufferings should be alle
viated if it were within his power to
accomplish it
It is a great straining of the Eng
lish language to say that Governor
Manning has broken the laws of South
Carolina in this instance. If this be
the measure by which his administra
tion is to be gauged, we think the peo
ple of South Carolina should rise and
shout the long meter doxology in
praise and thankfulness. But there
are other credits opposite his name.
South Carolina will be a better state
..for Richard I. Manning having been
governor.
f The state hospital will be a better
institution for C. Fred Williams hav
ing been superintendent
The people of South Carolina will
l>e a better people for showing more of
humanity to the mentally distracted
who have been treated so ill, even as
criminals.
No law has been broken., A lot of
IK'ople are disappointed because Gov-,
ernor Manning is keeping campaign
promises, or striving manfully to do
so. aud because the administration is
making good lit real achievement ? and
that is about all there Is in the cane. ?

Rudd. alias liurglar lien. "It'a a shame,
Mi Wilton! I'm of a discredited sort,
but I'm your friend for what you've
done for me, and I aay It'a a ahaiue
to aee a man of your talent throw up
the chance of a lifetime."
"Why. I've demonstrated some abil

Adrian Wlltoo In Ma smiling, con

"1 ahould aay so!" cried his client
enthusiastically. "The papers have
been full of it. 'Rlalng young crimiual
lawyer of the day!' All yOu've got to

"That waa becauae you were Inno
cent. Ben," reminded Adrian.
MFor once ? by accident!" retorted
the ex-burglar with a chuckle. "Any
how, it gave me a scare ahd I've re
formed square and straight."
At all events Adrian bade good -by

Client and returned to Fordham Yes,
the town had heard of hla splendid
record in the city, Nellie Wade es
pecially, who ha& ahown the newspa
per clippings to all her friends. The
town, however, had half a score ?of
veteran attorneys, lock-rooted in the
estimation of the people.
One morning Fordham awoke to the
eenaatlon of a half century. A skill
ful burglar had broken Into the local
bank at midnight Bllla of a large de
nomination representing $40,000 had
been taken. There waa no definite
clue to the. robber or the money.
At the end of a week, however, the
county sheriff received a . mysterious
tip by telegraph. It told him that the
telltale handkerchief bearing the
initial "R" and a falae beard found
in the bank belonged to a certain Ben*
Jamln Rudd and named his residence.
It further stated that a Fordham res
taurant keeper, if confronted with the
burglar, would recognise him as a
stranger with a mysterious satchel
' whom he had seen the evening of the
burglary.
Adrian Wilton lost a good deal of
hla faith in the reformatory process
as appertaining to Burglar Ben, when
the next morning he was sent for by
Rudd. The latter grinned at him be
hind strong iron bars.^
"Why, Ben," spoke the young law
yer, "you have fallen from grace, It
seems."
"Not the man!" decla&d Rudd posi
tively. "I hire yon to defend me. Get
to work and make a record for your
self." V
BURGLAR m BOOSTS
By WALTER J. DELANEY.
-""Burglar Ben practically directed the
case. He dictated- the policy to pur*
sue. Adrian waa amazed at his clear
and forcible outline of evidence. When
.the ease came on, both |ils wife and
Child, a golden-haired little cherub of
eight years, were in the court room..
. Adrian made good use of the evi?
dence ' at his command. He proved
that the false beard, worn by any.
body, would so obscure the natural
features that later positive identifi

that the initialed handkerchief might
have eom?~ accidentally Into the pos>
session of some of Ben's former crim
inal associates. Then little Sura was
placed on the stand. The date at
which the bank robbery was commit
ted was her birthday. Her father was
at home, ,200 miles away, when the
crime was committed.
For all this, the hard-faced farmers
on the jury looked grim and preju
diced. It was then that Adrian came
out in full force. He depicted the
former life, the reformation of his
client He described his changed fam
ily life. He pointed to the weeping
wife, to the innocent little child.
Oratory, eloquence, sentiment ? he
swayed the audience with a mastei

men looked grave and sympathetic.
The thrilling appeal moved every

"Why ? *' began Adrian, wonder

"Do as I. say. Gentlemen," spoke
Ben, as the persons in question were
summoned, "I have a confession to
make. I did not rob the bafck, but 1
directed the robbery."
"Ha!" glared the backer. - * -r
"Yes. I did it to put on his feet my
