THE LE'S J6ui7 R VOL. 7.---NO. 44. PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER x, 1897. ONE DOL A THE PitINVETON INN. A College Ar-angeiuent that Has Created a Large A mount of Ex ltteiuent Throughout the Couu try. The fight against the Princeton Inn, a hotel established at Princeton, N. J. for the special use of students and patrons of P'inceton University, has attracted the attention of thousands all over the country. It is said that the New Brunswick synod will take some sort of action upon the matter, especially in the case of Prof. Shields, who was one of . the signers of the petition upon which the inn was granted its license to sell liquors. Another of the bigners was ex-Presi dent Cleveland, whose signature it was that gave the inn management - - the necessary number of signatures to Insure the issuance of the license. Professor Shields, who is a minister of the Presbyterian church, and bears the title doctor of divinity, has been severely criticised by-parts of the coun try, and a resolution condemning him will be introduced at the meeting of the synod. If it is adopted, he will resign his professorship and his con "neotion with the church-at least so it 4 -is reported. He has for thirty years been a professor In Princeton. Many synods have condemned the professor and the inn. There has been raised all over the country a hue and cry against the inn; Presbyterian ministers and Presbyterian associa tions have been particularly active ; and so great has been the clamor over tte matter, that it hae become almost a national issue. In view of all which, some facts about the inn and the university may be r' interest. For time out of mind, Princeton students who desired to drink alcoholic beverages have been forced to patronize veritable grogshops in Princeton town. These saloons have been of the worst imaginable kinds. The thous inds of students at * - tending the big school have ever had among them a certain number who would drink. These spent their nights in the saloons of the town, where the proprietors would serve any sort of liquor demanded, and whence boys came forth staggering and dazed from the use of spirits. Such was the state of affairs when four years ago Moses Taylor Pyne, a -trustee of Princeton and an alumnus, determined that Princeton men should not be subjected to these indignities. He went among his friends and the friends of Princeton and raised enough money to build the splendid hotel that ': is now called the " inr.." A doui!e purpose was in Mr. Pyne's mind when he caused the hotel to be built. Not in all Princeton was there a hotel which might be called what is known as first-class. Of course, there were hotels, but they were of the cheap kind, and it was in these hostelries that friends and parents of students were compelled to put up when they visited Princeton. Mr Pyne conceived the idea of kiiling two birds with one stone. He would build a fIne hotel to accomnodate visitors to the university and he would supply a place where the students could be served with beer and ale under the supervision of the university. A stock company was formed, the. hotel was built and a manager was secured who had com petent.ability.as a hotel man, and wno also knew the wants and the vagaries of college. students. This manager is a very sedate appearing gentleman, who rules-the famous grillroom with a rod of iroi. To this man was intrusted the task; or duty, of seeing that no " fresby " or " soph " got into the grill room-the place downstairs where the " ale and cakes" are sold-without being accompanied by a senior. The grillroom is open until 11 o'clock every ..t" inight, and any student in "O-d Nassau" may enter so long as these rostrictions *are obser"ed, drink as much beer as: -he may desir-e to consume, and smoke innutnerable pipefuls of tobacco, while. the roof tr-ee sends back the echo of the very beat songs that Princeton talent can produce, S--hat, is. the sinn and its purposes. ~ ~~ fight...s directed particularly to ward the griliroom. Upstairs. in the inn is a room where students of any class may/-when with their relatives, obtain any kinati. of alcoholic beverage they. wisp to order. This part of the piograrnme is so. purely a personal inatterthat.no .orie has objected to it, *fzd dt n general principles. The a S imperative-students can get o pthing here except with their rela 681~e.' This part is a hotel, nothing '2tn9Qo; - * Nbw, Trustee Pyne believes thoroughly in the institution and so, it may be said, do most of the authorities -of Princeton, who contend that the real issue is between the temperance oif a licensed hostelry where there is the strictest regulations and the in temperance of the bad barrooms of the town. Pyne declares that if the grill room is to be closed the whole thing must be closed-that the closing will start at the top andi strike the grill room last. The alumni are generally with Mr. Pyne in his position andl it is generally understood that Pr-esident Patton and the other authorities agree -with them. In this connection The Chicago Times-Herald furnishes an interesting phase of the controversy. It tells of the strong criticisms that are coming from Pres.byterian ministers in general and some of them in par-ticular, and " The university authorities have no: hesitancy in speaking tacItly, if noti overtly, about the peculiar and deli cate debt that is dlue to them from the ministry of the Presbyterian church. This debt is a remarkable one in some ways, It is worth referring to in cx tenso. " From the very beginning of the university the-sons of the Presbyturian ministers have been educated free of . charge at Princeton. There are many hundreds, nay, thousands, of Presby terian ministers' 50ns who have been graduated from 'Old Nassau,' with not a cent for- tuition. Not alone that. Scores of eminent Presbyterian min isters have been given their education in the arts In this old school, for Princo ton not only educated the sons of Pr. s byterian ministers free of charge, but she has also given free education to young men who proclaimed their (de sire to become Presbyterian ministers themselves. And this is not the end of Princeton's generosIty. Although has consistently opened her doors with out charge to the sons of ministers, n< matter what the denomination, and has so broadened her polity that an, young man who wished to become a minister, whatever his denomination, had free access to her halls and to all that she had to give. "In view of these facts, certain members of the faculty, the alumni who own the now famous 'inn,' and the friends of Princeton who are teetotalers themselves are somewhat surprised, to say the least at the attitude of the p"esbyteries that have openly and harshly criticised the university for maintaining what the clergy call a ' grog-shop' in classic Princeton. President Patton and others have not come out flatly on the subject, but it is known that the feeling in this respect is running high, and there are rumors that if the church continues to attack the university as it has been doing for the last two weeks, the 'free list' will be suspended, and clergymen's sons and prospective clergymen will be forced to seek out some other university for their education, or 'pay up.'" Ex-President Cleveland has been severely criticised for the part he took in signing the petition for license. and he has sent the following characteristic telegram to the Chicago Times-Herald in reference to the matter : "I don't care if all the synods and presbyterles in the country were to offer an adverse decision, it would be no good reason why I should alter my opinion. I am very sorry that Dr. Shields has been bothered over this matter, as he is an old and very dear friend of mine. Otherwise, the action of the presbytery does not affeot me in the least. When I signed the petition for the liquor license of the Princeton inn, I in no sense committed a wrong, and if the same proposition came up for my consideration again I would do the same thing." THE PIRIUH: OF CO I TON. A New Explanation About, the Cause of Low 'r[ces for the Great Staple. . The cause of the reduction in price of cotton has been explained variously, but the following article presents a new view altogether, and cotton dealers are disposed to accept this view to some extent. Farmers can take choice of the explanations given, but the fact remain-, that cotton is below the cost of production. Here is the letter : To the Ed.tor of New York Evening Post: Sir .-The price cotton is selitng for is a great disappointment to the South. It was not anticipated, as consump tion and production were clus3 on each other's hcels, and the stock on hand was of extremely meagre proportions. Judged in the light of past experience, it looked as if the crop would bring two cents per pound more than it is now bringing. However, in the factors that formerly fixed the price of cot ton, onn element differs now, and to this difference, in the estimation of many, is due the low price now ruling. The difference consists in the way the bulk of the cotton crop is now marketed as compared with the me thod in vogue seven or eight years ago. Formerly the crop was marketed through the cotton factor in the citit s of the South. Now it is done largely through the local buyer at the "cross roads" depot. The advent of the local buyer was hailed with great rejoicing. The farmer could then sell direct to the " spinner buyer." Tho cotton factor would be eliminated as a use less expense, and the one-half cent per pound cost of marketing saved. In the light of recent events it looks as if the farmer had to a considerable extent accom.plished his purpose of saving the t'wo and one-half dollars in com missions and charges, and lost ten dollars per bale in the value of his cot ion ; a delightful bit of rural finan ciering. F'ormeorly the crop was concentrated in the large cotton centres with cotton factors. It was in strong and compara tively few hands. The higher the price of cotton, the better it was for both factor and grower. Factors having control of the spot cotton, de clines in price could often ho success fully resisted and advances in values maintaIned. How different the con d itions now The Cotton is scattered in the hands of many, many thousand cotton farmers, each marketing hi8 cotton alone and without reference to the ot-her in the hands of parties mainly who ar-e in debt and must 8(11 their cotton to pay the country mer chant's store bill. The thousands of little railroad stations each has its little local buyer. Each country buyer is a force con tinually acting to lower the price of cotton. He is either endeavoring to get the farmer to accept the extremely low bid of the shrewd spinner at a p)rice that will net the buyer 25c. or i.0o. a bale, or ho is flooding the dif forent markets with telegr.,phic offers, wildly endeavoring to pluck orders from his almost innumerable comp)eti tors. The number of offers alone cause the amount of cotton offered to be largely magnifled. In many in stances the lcoal buyer is impecunious. and has adopted cotton-buying after having failed it every other line. This has, however, not prevented bim tn is year- from &>lling a head thousands of hales of spot cotton, which it would bo0 imp1ossible for him to deliver were the market to advance. Ho can readily (10 this, as ho has nothing to lose ; andi if the market goes his way, as it has done, lhe is so much the gainer. During the present crop the price has boon put down note.h by notch by the enormous olfor-s of spot cotton by those local buyers, in spito of the fatt that the size of the crop is p)urly Fro spectivo and the actual muovemnent. is smaller than with the crop~ last, yeiar, a crop which although a lar ago one, lacked 300,000 hales of supplyinlg con sumptive requirements. That cotton should bring the host possible price is a matter of national concern. Many schemes have been proposed for marketing the cro p, but, on account of the large area of terri tory involved and the number of parties in interest, nothing, feasible has been p)roposed. Laissez-faire must be trusted to bring a solution of the pro blem. W- COLLIER EsTEs. BILL ARP ON THE RtOAD. Iough Experience on a Circus Train --Protecting a Sweet and Teniler Young Woman trom Wildi Beasts, but 'Twas All a Dream. "Hard, hard, indeed, is the contest for freedom and the struggle for liber ty.' "There is no rest for the wicked." This world is all a fleeting show and Jordan is a hard road to travel, I be lieve ! There are other ejaculations I might utter, for of late there has been trouble on the old man's mind. You see, I was invitea over hero to talk to these people in a humorous and philo sophic way and my wife said as the larder was getting low and the girls needed some more winter clothes, and the tax man was bobbing around and the grand-children would be expecting something for Christmas, she thought I had better go. So she packed my valiso with my best clothes and forti fled me with a little drug store of camphorated oil and flannel and liver medicine and paregoric and cough drops and quinine and headache powders, and so forth and so on. We kissed good-by all round and I departed feeling like I was being driven off from home by sad necessity. I took the Sea board Air-Line at Atlanta bound for Charlotte, via Monroe, but our engine broke down about dark and this de layed us three long, dreary hour s, and when we reached Monroe it was way after midnight and the Charlotte train had gone. There were three nice ladies aboard and several gentlemen, who were greatly disappointed, but the conductor was kind and sympathe tic and said there was a circus train near by that wits going to Charlotte right away and if we didn't mind rid ing thirty miles in a cab, he would got us the privilege. 'Ite ladies said yes, and we did too, and climbed in. It was as dark as Erebus. We felt our way to find seats but there was pothing but some long tool boxes whose lids were hard and cold. There was no fire and the wind blow through a broken glass on the back of my head. The ladles chatted away merrily, for they were going home, but I wasn't and I couldn't chat to save my life, for 1 was very tired and thought of tl.at .good, soft bod at home. By and by the con ductor came in with a lantern and took up our tickets and left us in the' dark again. About that time the animals got restless and the -lion gave an un earthly howl. You see this was a menagerie train. "The animals went in two by two, The elephlant and the kangaroo," and every time the cars careened about or swung round a curve we could hear some devilish noise ahead of us. "Oh morcy," said the youngest gi-l, "sup pose th.y break out '" "They will eat the sweetest and tendercs,. first,". salau 1, "lions always do." I pulled my cloak up over the back of ni head and ruminated. For two long hours we jogged along, for thetrain was running slow to suit the wild boasts une: we were of no cons' (ue,n3ce. I '. was near 3 o'clock when we got to the suburbs of Ubarlotte and stopped. Nobody was looking for us-nobody rushed forward to meet us, no porter nor hackman no omnibus or street cars, not even a wagon or an ox cart or a darky. The moon had bid herself to keep from see ing our misery, but we seiz -d our grips and wraps and satchels and made a march for the electric lights. My companions soon separated from me and I marched in single file with my big valise full of clothes and 'he drug store, and struggled for three quarters of a mile up the long and hard side walk. I am not used to are lights, and the flickering shadow of overy tree and telegraph polo looked like a man in amhush who was fixing to hold nc up. I had forgotten where the hotels were, and unconsciously passed them, for the doors were all shut, and there was no sign. By and by I mnot a polIce man and he conducted me back to the hotel, andl I was as thankf li as I was tired and humble. Mly pitiful tone of voice secured me kind attent,ion and a bed. When a man is far away from home, his warmest welcome is an inn. But I did not rest well. A 10 o'clock supper, en fried sausage and scrambled eggs and stale oysters, disturbed my corp)orosity and I dreamed that a'tiger got loose and camne prowling and howl ing around the car and somehow I got a hatchet out of the toolbox and lifted the young lady through the port hole upon the roof, and volunteered to de fend her with my life and my sacred honor. The tiger muade desper ate leaps to get up there, but every time ho got a paw on the cave, I cut it olf and let him fall hack again.' I don't know what became of the other ladies, but think that other wild beasts got in and eat themi up. The men had all fled prematurely, but I saved the prett,y girl, the sweetest and tendei'est, hefore I woke up. Who wouldn't, In a dIrer my? What cnrious things are dreams, any how! The next trouble on the old :man's mind came over him at Sails bury, where I was billed to lecture that night. On my arrival 1 found that august body the Presbyterian synod in session. Preachers and elders 'nnume.rable were scattered among the good people all over town. They were holding night sessions, and wouldn't have adjourned for McKinley or Grover Cleveland or the yellow fever or a fire. But this was not all, the Episcopal bishop was to lecture on the Holy Land, where he had been recently, and I knew that I would fall between andl get smothered. Mr. Marsh seemed to feel very bad, and ap"logized by aaying that when he booked me he did not know of these meetings. "Well," said 1, "the saints will all go to these meet Ings, but you have sinners in this t,own." HIe admitted that there were sume. And so 1 went ahead and( lectured, and was surp)rised to see be fote me a solet andl cultured audience, solcet, anid I 1h0p) elect according to l're sby terian theology. 30o all is well that ends well. The next evening found me at the nice lit tie townu of Marion, in western North Carolina, away up) in the land of the sky. They are good people there, I know, for thmey tilled the courthouse that night and gave me an ovation. The old soldiers are thick in that region, and they came out to hear me, aind vome of us got tagether andl tailkod of old Bob Lee and. Joe Johntstoni and Genoirais Early andl It indler andl Whiting and Hloke and Riansomn and Pett,igrew and Olingman and others. Their eyes watered and their hearts burned with in them, and they got closer and closer togeth'r. What a peoplo these tar' heels are--these descendants of the Scotch ! About every other name Is Scotch, a MLane or Me'all or Mc Iaurin or McArthur or MeSomething else, and tnen thoro are Aloxandera 1 everywhere and Caldwells and Car lyles. After the lecture we had a mush a'o at the hotel by the gifted t Gruber family, who keep the hotel, t Mr. Gruber and Mrs. Gruber and their % seven children. I have heard much I music during my long life, but I never t heard any better anywhere. How the i old man's lingers did dance upon the r e:tring; how swet tly did the still hand some matron sing the, "Last Rose of I Summer" and other old-time songs of t Scotland! Wbat delightful chords 1 came from the piano under the touch e of the young ladies and the sweet little v black-eyed girl of only ten summers! i And when they played "Home, Sweet I Eome," with variations, I could hard ly restrain my tettrs. I felt like we all ought. to bold a seance if we could with John Howard Payne and tell him how tno world loved him for his song. I i had sweet dreams that night. I am still on the grand rounds talking to the unpretending peole of this grand old state. It seems to have got out, how ever, that I had joined John Robin- t son's circus and gone il with it.

Must middle-aged persons remember u well'when corn bread was served upon < nearly all tables in the South and West at le$tst twice a day. Sometimes it ap- 1 peared in the form of " hoccake," or t "dodgers," at other times as egg or t " batter bread," and again in " pones." < It .was par excellence " the " bread of 1 the negro, and every man who served r in the Confedorate ai"rny was also a it well graduate in the use of it.

There is no 1 trouble about the meal, but we doubt ) whether the art elf ")cki'g t ha e ben t preserved.

No sulf-resp'aetirg pan of dough ( woutd be conjured into shape by such a unskilled hands. And then we niy i doubt whether corn bread can be cooked in a stove as well as ain oveni J lireplaco. n The Indians laid their dough cakes t between layer's of forest leave's, or in upon the hard ground, and cooked b them in the hot ashes. Hence " a,h- a cake," a very luscious product, indeed, I when one has whetted his appetite for '1 it by a long da3's 1-tnting.
