PICKENS S. C.
AN OFFICE IDYL.
The bookkeeper sat behind his little
sliding window covertly watching Miss
Dolly over the top of his ledger. She
was leaning rather djectedily over her
typewriter with her bead on her hand
and her eyes gazing wistfully through
the window.
The regular scratch, scratch of the
shipping clerk's pen was the only
sound in the olice, and presently Miss
Doll 's eyes wandered in that direction
and fingored on the curly head bond
ing over the desk in the cornor. 'hey
lingered there a long while, then she
roused herself with a little sigh and
began to fold her letters.
The bookkeeper nodded to himself.
"There is something wrong with
Miss Dolly. She hasn't been like her-.
self for a long time. She used to sing
and rattle away so cheerily, and now
she sighs and looks witoful and is too
quiet. I have watched her. And I
know what it is. She is in love with
the shipping clerk. I was a young fol
low myself once."
The bookkeeper was not yet foi-ty,
but care and hard worr had brought I
little gray into his hair and his youth
seemed very far away.
Presently he opened the door of his
cage.
"Miss Dolly, you may as well go cow;
you don't look well, and lIr. Si ry
will not be back this evening.'
Miss Dolly looked u) gratefully.
"Oh, thank you she said. and
closed up her typowriLtor and put on
her hat.
When e had gono the bookkee'er
sat for a long while thinking hard. 11'
was meditating a plain of attack, for
Miss Dolly was too nice a girl to waste
her affections on the shipping clerk.
The bookkooper had fal len into the
habit of walking homo with her in thew
evening, their roads lying together,
and he knew what a sweet, Ioale,
womanly nature she had. The Ilip
ping clerk must be nimde to rcal.ze
this ; he must have his eyes ope-ned.
In his corner that young gentleman
scratched away, blissfuI ly unconscious
of the schemes darkoning over hlis
blonde head. He looked up when the
bookkeeper caino over and sat down by
his desk.
" I think Miss )ollj is a very sweet
girl, Jon't you, Wel ls " said the hook
keeper.
" Yes, she is rather a nice little
girl," answered the shipping clerk, a
ittle surprised. Teio bookkeeper ,el
domn had anything to say. I4at lie went
on.
"She Is moco than 'r..ther nice.'
She has a lovely d is position and is
very pretty, too. I have bei walkinig
bone with her at nights and hutve had
a good opportunity to judge. I think
she is a girl in a thousatnd."
" Falling in lovewith her a" asked
the shipping clerk.
tOh, no, no. Nothing like thiat for
me. She didn't look wltl this after
noon, and I was thinking of her, that's
all."
The shipping clerk hat d lis sus pi
clons, however, and Miss )olly au.
quired a now interest for him. lie
talked to her whenever lie could get a
chance and found her ratha- dignilied
and reserved, which only made him11
more eager to draw her out. The
bookkeeper hel pe( matter's aiong al
he could. lie left Lhema alone togetheA

dropped little j udicious words arid h<
gave up his evening walks with NI is:
Dolly, being al ways too) busy to leavu
when she did, so that it soon haippenet
that she and the shipjping clerk begar
to walk home together. T'hat yoarun
gentleman haid come to the concl usior
that lie was miistaken in sirpposi ng 'tha

od him into the ofllico and found him
sitting on the table rind Miiss Dlly
laughing and taikIng gaiyly, with
flushed cheeks and starry eyes.
After that Miss Dolly wvas rio loager
dignified with the shippirng cler-k. Saint
smiled at him bewitchingh~ and gavt
him shy, coquettish- ilances arid 101
him button .Aitr gloves, lie thouighti
her char.;ating and matters were goiny
alor'.ig swimmingly, hut soriehow thi
-~bookkeeper- did rnot feel so cirited over
his success as might have been e xpect
ed.
Thorec was ai curious ache at. hai
heart arid he began to feel a mcoit, un
ireasonable dislike to .var'd the shippingi
clerk. What ran Impudent, young fol.
low lie was ; lhe positively for-cedl hi l
attentions upon iles Dollhy :Was lie
the mian for her -' The hook keeper
had meant It aul for hier goodt, but . hiad
he done the wvise-st thing ./ lie never
could manage ito walk home with her
at all now anti lie rmissed the Ilittice
confidences she hat been went, to give
him. She hardly over spotke to) him a
nowadays, she eveni appheairedl to aivoid
him antd lie turnedtt t his wornk with a
sigh.
One evening lie watched thieri goling
sway together arid lie noticed what, a
han~dsome clerai-l iibed yotrng fellow
the shipping cler k w'as rind how darin
tily Miss DXlly lifted heri skirts, aned
what a hanirdsome co~uple they made
and he turned awayv to tha. lIttle mnir
ror and scrutinized with ear-nest eyes
the face thait greetedl him there. Hie
noted bitterly thae gr-ay spr-inkledi in the
dark hair arid the wrinkales iabouit the
eyes andi the grave motith.
''What ai fool I have been '"he cried,
passionately. A h, poor, e lurisy, yreaOtl
hearted s;'lder, cauught in the wet) he
had so cairefully woveni for the urisus
pecting fly.
But now that lie had begun this
work tie would riot go back, no, riot if
it brought the keenest tortur-e into his
life. Be haid deliberately br-ought it
upon himself and must bear the conse
quences. And if Aliss D~olly loved the
shipping clerk, why, she riust have
him-her happiness canme ir-st of rall.
So he crushed his hqnart sterulhy arid
bore the ainguish as silently as lhe
could.
But it was hard, hiard wor-k ras the
days went by. Miss D~olly hadt gr-own
gay again, sometimes It scemedi almost
a feverish gayety, she was soa bright
and restless. 'rho bookkeeper caught
himself watching her antd wait aston
Ished to remomber- how long lie biad
unconsciously been doing so.
Once he came upon thorm standing
close together and the shipping clerk
was bending over her slim, gloved
hand fastening a most refractory but
eyes. Miss Dolly started and then
dropped her eyes, flushing rosily. And
the bookkeeper clenched bis hands, a
mighty impulse came over him to fling
the shipping clerk through the open
door, and he took one quick step.
Then he controlled himself by an effort
and went on to his desk.
After that he hardly dared to look
at Miss Dolly and seldom trusted him
self to speak. His only safety lay in
work, so he toiled away from morning
till ovening with the tireless energy of
i machino.
Then ono day came the news of the
shippiug clerk s promotion, a good po
sition, a snug salary. The bookkeepor
inow what that meant. He wondered
lully how long it would bo before the
shipping clerk took her away. Oh,
vhat would the oilcob be liko without
ior ? However, she woald be happy ;
tic was Pv glad that she would be
lappy.
Lie stood beside her at the window
ks she was getting ready to leave, and
hought what a lucky fellow the ship
ping clerk was. All things had come
LO him.
"That promotion is a line thing for
Wells," he said. "I am so glad it
camo."
" Yes, I am, too," Nliss )olIy answer
ed, pausing to watch the sunset... 0he
lobked subdued and thoughtful in its
red glow.
Slie deserved it," the bookkeel)er
said gently. " And I am so glad for
your sake."
Miiss l)olly turned on him.
" And why are you glad for my
sake ?"
" Well, because, of course, it Imust
IDHII ho nuch to you.'
Miss )olly flung out her hand imnpa
tiently.
" And why should it mean so much
fur me ? she demanded.
The hookkeeper llounderod stupidly.
114 (id not understand these bewitch
ing woman's mood'.
" I thought. you know, you acted as
if, it reemcd like you cared. 1-1
thought you were in lovo with him."
You seemed determi ned that I
shoAld he '' llashed1 Nliss )olly. Then
sh e said softly : I was in love-but
not with him."
lier eyes were fixed dreamily on the
purple clouds in the west, but there
was somnething In her face that made
the book keeper tako a sudden stride
toward her and cry out liorcely :
" I)olly ' I have a right to know

Tl'henI 11oly13' diro0ipIed her coquetries
and ,ifthl hlar clear eyes to his face

ALIANCX DAY AT SMXXCA
CI% EBRATING THEt FOURTH.
The Oconee County Alliance Has a Gran,
Rally--ThousandS Flocked From Al
sides.
Spetial to The Cotton Plant.
SENECA, July 4, 1899.-The Allianc(
enthusiasm has not died out in Ocone
County. The thousands here assembled
show that the farmers of this section
with their families are yet interested in
a gathering intended to produce a re
viyal of interest in the great farmer's or
ganization which swept the land ten yeara
ago. Not less than two thousand are lis
telling to speakers in the beautiful grove
near the depot, while hundreds of others
are scattered in every direction. Sena
tor Tillman is a drawing card, Qf course,
and all the morning he has been the
contre of admiration at the Oconee Inn,
where the " wool hats " gravitated with
the certainty and full assurance that
their old-time leader was still in liar
mony and sympathy with the men who
made him Governor of South Carolina
in 1890.
The stand for the speakers was draped
with the national colors, supplemented
by sheafs of grain and cotton plants
w':th squares and blooms, thus inter
twining the patriotic and the practical.
The presiding ollicer was Hon. J. It.
Earle, former editor of the Oconee
News, who is chairman of the committee
of arrangements, and he mado an intro
ductory speech explaining the objects
of the meeting and asking that the best
order shall be preserved. Prayer wai
offered by R1ev. J. M. Maguire, and then
the chairman stated the order of the
(lay.
Mr. J. 11. Make, the i. eturer of the
State Alliance, wais Lhe first 1eiker in
troduced. His subjuct was " Lend a
lelping Hand," and he developed thi
idea that the Alliamice was for the uplif
of humnmity, for the improvement o
society, for the better understanding o
government and the relation of its citi
zens. lie paid a generous tribute to th
tidelity of the farmers of Oconce Coun
ty, who had been the earliest advocate
of the Alliance, and who had though al
vicissitudes proven true to the prinfciple
of the order. These principles did nc
interfere with the rights of others, no
had the Alliance sought to raise an
prejudices between themselves an
those who are engaged in other occup
tions. The social, fraternal and tinancia
features of the organization would ac
be discussed by him, as others woul
doubtless devote time to these, and 11
dwelt with emphasis upon the fosteriit
of patriotism by an organization that
co-extensive with tho country. Ili
strong exposition of the evils growin
out of tihe rapid formation of trusts an
monopolies was well received by ti
audience.

National Farmers' Alliance and of tli
State Alliance, was introduced by J1m

doubtless organized more Alliances thai
any other man in the Btate. When h
wais introdulced by the chairman, th
crowdi instantly recognized him an
knew that some lively anecdotes werei
ordler, and Tralbert never disappoint
his friends in this respect, at least. 11
began with a good story and1( endedl wit
another, and sandwiched stili othei
between the points of an admirab
speech, in which lhe showed the advai
tages of the Alliance and thme disadvai
tages under which the farmers labt
withiout an organization. Ilo has im
forgotten how to make ani Alliance tall
j uicy anmd rich, and said if there was an
difference lie was a stronger Alhianc
man thian when lie was campaigningi
its early days.
Senator TIillmian was unidoubtedly grai
itied at his reception by thme large and
ence. If lhe had any doubt sa to l
staniding with the "'conmmon p~eople,
the uncertainty wvas quickly dispelle
when Chairman Smith introduced him
as the " great imogul " of South Cart
lina, andl the old-time yells greeted hii
as they did in 1890 and 1894. Thme seal
tered crowd came (quickly together, an
ini a few minutes the, atudienice wa
larger than at any time during the meet
lng, for those on the outskirts were any
ious to hear Tillmnan, and in fact som
heard him at Beneca who had p~urposcl
avoided that pleasure in all thme pasi8
The Senator began by saying thait tim
crowd had been listening for severs
hours to speeches of wit. andl wien~i
and that the time was already past foi
the dinner horn to blow. It had beer
five years since he had met the citizenf
i of Oconco and Anderson, and thor<
1 were such hot times then that few ladiec
were present at the meetings. Ile wai
glad to see the change, and to have the
opportunity of addressing such a large
gathering in which so many ladiPs were
interested participants.
Senator Tillman stated that the topic
assigned him was " National Conditions
and Tendencies," and It was a big sub
ject. The masses -,f tho people were no
longer freemen, and the words were
hardly out of his mouth when a man
dircetly in front asked, " Who made us
that way ?" and quick as lightning came
the answer, "'I he fools who vote to put
scoundrels into ollice," at which the
crowd checered lustily. Ile followed this
reply with the declaration that the con
dition with which we are now confronted
is that everything we buy and every
thing we are too poor to buy has got
into the hands of men who fix the
price of what we eat and what we wear,
and this is why we are not frecmcn.
How can w e restore the former order of
things when capital competed with
capital, and not as now when capital Is
combined with capital to oppress the
people ? We cannot buy the necessaries
of life with the cotton grown iII the
South, for there is no surplus money
made from the cropq, and the wheat far
mer of the West is in like condition.
The great trouble in rectifying such ex
traordinary conditions is that the men
in the Northern States vote the party
tickets without regard to fitness for
office, and the bosses in both partie
control the men who a:e elected.
Ile called attention to one hopeful
sign, which is that the American )eol)i(
have change(l Presidc,:ts at every elec,
tion since IM4, at which time the Dei
ocrats had been successful for the firsi
time in almost a generati-m, and hat
put Grover Clevel'tnd into the Whit(
llouse lie wits ousted in 1848 by Hen
jimin IHarrison, who in turn was de
feated by Cleveland in 1 92, at whiel
time lie (Tillnan) told the people tin
there was "1 something dead up th
creek," and four years later there wa

We look into a cradle and behold a male
child. At the ago of ten he is a noisy
kid, with half the buttons off his pants
and an eye for meanness. At the age of
15 he is devil in a printshop; at 25 the
publisher of a country newspaper, at
the head of every enterprise calculated
to improve the town or enrich the
business thereof; at 35 he is an ewa
clated and wornout man, with holes in
his pockotH ana a bald head; at the
age or 50 he is a corpse in a cheap cof
fin, and hisonly resources left behind
are two cases of long primbr type, a
Washlington handpress and a subscrip
Mon book with 500 delinquent subscri
bers, who line up and march past the
collin, saying "H1e was a public-spirited
follow, but he couldn't save anything."
-Prominent mon engaged in the
shipping busineos at Noav York have
prepared a unique gift for presentation
to Adiniral George Dewey en his arri
val. It is to be a mammoth albun,
containing assorted clippings from the
principal newspapers and publications
that have mentioned Adniral Dewey
since last May, so arranged that they
give a complete history of the pa'rt that
Dewey took in the war. Frbdorick B.
Daizeli, treasurer of the committee
which had the memorial in charge,
said that the money to pity for it has
been subscribed, and thatl he thought
tie volume would give the admiral a
better idea of how he is regarded by
the public than anything clso i1e
hopes to Include in the collection auto
graph Itoters from President McKin ly
and other prominer.t neu. Tlie volume
will be illustrated by leading artists.
-The story is told of Gen. Wiliian
Ludlow, now Military Governor of
Havana, that when he was stationed at
I) troit, somo years ago, in charge of
river and harbor work, he was visited
oy a.coutractor who wanted to do some
Government work. With hi visiting
card, by way of further int;"'.luction,
the contractor pit down on the table
a criep $50 b,1. Lud!o . m:d0e no Qign
as to whothe he had noticed this or
. not ; but say ing they had better snioke
while talking drew forth two cigars
and gave the contra tor oce f them.
Tiren, turning to the table and not
seeing a match, he took the i'0 no;t',
Lv isted it inLo a ighter, set it alliiu1e
at the open grato tire, and lit hils cigi.r
with it slowly and carefully. Then lie
handed the burning stiump of the bill to
the contractor.
-A recent discussion at a dinner
table whether "gotten " or "got" were
tbo preferable participle, received a
practical solution, at least for the tole
graphic servico, from an experience
related of a college professor who Ire
fcered "gotten." IHe had telegrahed
to his wife: "Ilave gotten tickets for
tho theator tonight. Meet me thero."
telograph operator rendered this
into "Have got ten tickets," etc. Mrs.
Professor was deligliied with the op.
portunity of entertaining her friends
aid accordingly made l) a party of
r eight b.sides herself, whose greetings
to the professor at the rendezvous
were probably more cordial than his
feelings until matters were explained.
le now makes an exception to his
8 customary use of "gotten."
