The People's Journal, PICKENS S.oC BROWN BESS. "I wish I could sell Brown Boos, said Suoy Ross rinsing the dishes sh had just washed. "Oh, Susy !" cried her brother. "What in the world do you want t( sell Brown Bees for ?" her motho asked, looking up from the dough oh' was kneading. "I could go to the academy, mother for two more terms," was the answer "Then perhaps I could-get the schoo at the Corners." " Nonsenso, Susy. I need you to hell me," her mother said. " Keeping school is a thankless business." " It's money," said Susy, " and I dc long to help myself, and you, too Money will do everything that nod to be done." " Yes, that's a fact," spoke up Tom, "and there's lots want" to be done I'd like to clear that live-acro lot foi potatoes and corn, but I can't do it." " And the house wants shingling, her mother said, plaintively her care worn countenance taking on anotho shadow. " The front door's got a crack al the way across," Tom spoke up again "and there ought to be a firoplace It granny's room. Then there's th barn ; it's all we can do to keep the ha, dry." , I know all that," said Susy. " know the house is getting to be L scarecrow, and the barn is worse, an< that's why I want to be earning. A for the shinglos, I should think yoi could put them on yourself, Tom; yes and mend the roof.' "Where's the sbingles ?" Tom asked in his matter-of-fact way. " Where' the nails? Where's the hammer The old one is broken past mending And where's the money to get then with. I should like to know ?" " Sure enough," said Susy, " unles I could earn it. That's why I want tj soll Brown Bess." " And if you do s0ll her you won get much," Tom said. " She's so ful of her tricks-the craziest colt I eve saw." " I'm more and more afraid to hav you ride her," her mother said. " Bu if you should sell her, there's the mori gage to be paid in October." "If I soll her," said Susy, quiotly "it will be to finish my education." " That's always your cry," her moth er went on, in plaintive tones ; "n matter what's needed ; but I s'pose w must give in. Bad as the roof is, I shelters us. What would we do with out a houso over our heads ?" "I'd sell the cow," put in Tom. " And then grandma would jus about starve," the mother supplemen1 ed. Susy turned away from the tabl< angry and gr loved, but she said noti ing, only ran upstairs to her own roon After helping her mother about th house she donned her sunbonnot an ran into the barn. Tom was rubbin down Brown Bess, whose bright, gloss coat shone like satin. " Much as I can do to take care c her," said Tom. "She wants a rogula groom who would break her of he nasty little tricks. bee how she throU her head up, and look at her eye fiasi ing fire. Are you going to the store Mother wants sugar and molasses an vinegar-and I've got to go in th fild." '"Yes, I'm going," said Sue y, "thoug I dread It, the bill is so large.

It was a warm Septembi day. Even in the midst of her anxiei the beauty of the ride to Hillst< soothed and delighted her. Every d tail of the way was familiar to he yet when she came to Bilver Ledj falls and saw the white spray leapir over granite rocks and dancIng amos tiny islands she stepped old Dick ai sat enjoying the sene as if she ha never beheld it before. "Good morning," a voice said t2 hind her. " Oh, Charlie I" she exclaimed, wi a start, " I didn't hear you coining." " No ? The falls are so loud. I s you at the bend and followed. Goir to town ?" " Yes, Charlie," she made reply, ai in spite of herself her voice held a c rious tremor. " You're worried over something he said, the keen lover's eyes notir the shadows. " Yes, Charlie, a little-the san old trouble. I want to set things1 rights-and-it's hard work," she sal in a low voice. " I knew it. Why won't you leas all these matters and come with me The house is waiting for you-and am I. Susy, darling, mak~e up yos minad.' He held out his hand, a look of unu tenable love making his rugged fac beautiful. " If father had only lived," she sal, " But you krow it is impossible nov Charlhe. I can't leave mother--not yi -and I must finish the course at tb B---academy, and keep school at leal a year before I get things straightene out." He gave a long, low whistle, the urged on his horse, but stopped agal till Susy came up with him. "You know I'll wait for you, Sue; as long as you say, but it's rather' har on me, as I'm forehanded and ready I marry. Susy, come, make up yes mind. My house is a large one. I' take your mother and granny. Toa can run the old farm, and-" " What I Lot you support me an the family, too'? Never I" and hc eyes flashed. " I would never perm " Well, Susy, I've declared m willingness to help you, if only yo would let me," said Charlie, " bul since you won't, don't look so sa and worried, my daring, It's wont serving and saving for seven years I can only win you at last for m wife." " Oh, Charlie I" she said, brokenl3 "your love is priceless. Only be pi tient." " I'll try, and keep on hoping," hi said, and they parted at the store. The grocer met her with a smiic Everybody liked Susy. No girl mor genial than she under ordinary eircum stances, but to-day her face wa clouded, her manner preoccupied. " Mr, Lee, I have made up my mini to sell Brown Bess," she said, af to getting the things she needed. "UD you know anybody that wants I horse?" "Dear me I Going to sell Browi Bess I Well, I was thinking of buying a young horse for my Alice, Is ohe safe for a girl of ten, do you think ?" the grocer asked. cipated a question of that sort, but she answered, after a moment's inde cision : "She is fond of taking her own head sometimes. No, Mr. Lee, if I ilnd It hard to manage her, she would never do for your little girl." "Ah, I'm sorry for that, Miss Susy," said the storekeeper. " But I known a man who wants a spirited horse. What would you sell her for ?" "I leave that to the purchaser," Susy made answer. " Papa paid $75 for her more than a year ago, and I wouldn't want to take less than that, for I need the money very much," she went on, "and If you will be so kind as to take an interest in the matter-" She stopped, her eyes wistful. " Why, of course I will," the grocer responded. "I'll send my boy to your house with the groceries, and he can bring the horse back with him. If anything is done in the way of a sale I'll let you know at once." Susy thanked him and went on her way home. As she came in sight of the house, an old-fashioned, two-story butiding, where dilapidation was ren dered picturesque by a profuse growth of Ivy that covered the front porch and much of the exterior wails, she felt more comfortable as she thought over her prospects. In imagination she had her mother quite reconclied to all her plans, her school life assured and all things going on swimmingly. For who knew but that Brown Bess might bring her $100, she was so spirited and handsome ? Work and home seemed brighter. The grocer's boy came for the horse, and though it was hard parting with the pretty creature, Susy, in expecta tion of results, bore the separation bravely. " Can't we take a little of the money you got to shingle the roof ?" her mother asked as the horse was led away. "I hope so," Susy replied blithely. " And you still thinking of going to school ? Ain't you too old ?" " I'm not 18 yet," wao Susy's answer. "Many girls go to school tili they are 20." " And there's clothes, to think of, dresses and bonnets and shoes." " Oh, they'll be provided," Susy said, t with a little laugh. " An' winter's comin'-an' it's two r or three miles to the 'cademy," her mother went on, each time throwing a e more plaintive cadence into her voice. " %Tom's clothes are terribly patched, . an' mother needs flannels. I ain't so young as I was once, but I ain't sayin' anything about myself, on'y it's kind o' hard to spare you," and the lines in her mother s weak face deepened. " Mother, I wish you could see it as e 1 do. I must go to the academy," Susy t made reply. " It's the opportunity of . my life. But I tell you what I will do. If I get $100 for Brown Bess I'll divide even. Fifty dollars would go a long t way, wouldn't it ?" " Well, yes, $50 would get every thing we need," was the reply. " But you're never goin' to get $100. You'll be more than lucky if youget $50. " Well, mother," said busy , desper e ately, "If I only get $50, 1 11 divide a even. It will be $30 coming in every g month if I only get the school." " I don't see's there's any chance of that," said her mother, with a woe-be gone face. r Day after day Susy waited, but no word came about Brown Bess. Tom declared that he believed there was no . prospect of selling her, but one day .a Charlie Grant drovo up to the house, his face fairly beaming. e he Ihught I'd bring you the news," hesaid, as he came in the bright a living-room. ~ Have they sold Brown Boss ?" Busy 1asked, her voice trembing in her ex citement to hear. " Well, yes--that is, if you'll take the price they offer," Charlie made answer. " Oh, I hope it's a hundred," said r Susy. A hundred I" laughed Charlie. ''I8 in that what you value her at ? Lucky 3., for you that I was in at the bargain. ,'That horse will be worth thousands or re dollars before long. The man who gbought her trains horses for the race course. He has discovered remark dable qualities in Brown Bess as a id trotter, and is willing to give you $1,000 for her." e-A thousand dollars ! Susy stood for a moment like a statue ; then she flow h into the kItchen, w here her mother was making the daily batch of bread, ex~ wclaiming: " A thousand <dollars, mother ! we're rich ! Brown Bess is sold for a thou id sand dollars ! You won't have to work ~hard this winter. Tom can get two suits of clothes If he wants them, and ,buy the flye-acre lot. Grandma can have all the fire she needs ; the roof gshall be shingled, the mortgage paid Soff and-and-" o " What am I to have ?" Charlie Sasked, as she stopped, out of breath, 'he having followed her Into the Kitchen. e She turned round, and, blushing ? beautifully, held out her hands. He o clasped them both and drew her to his "What do you think of this mother?" . he asked of the glad-hearted woman e at the bread pan. " Susy is to be my wife." " Why, I think it's a good deal better Sthan keeping school," she said. e NoT A WELCOME ADDITION.---A t couple of tourists who were journeying d on horseback in the rural district of the South had ridden many miles when n they came to a small log ceabin, out of n which children of all sIzes and ages came swarming out like bees from a r, hive. d The tourists were tired and raven ,o ously hungry.

ARP TAKUS A VACATION BILL TECLLS ABOUT HER THIP. His Wife Had a Pleasant Time Until the News Came that lie Was Sick -11cr Visit Was Shortened Thereby. My wife, Mrs. Arp,hadent been away from home for two years. It is said that a sotting hen never gets fat, but those human hens do, and so '1h girls thought their mother ought to rouse up and go somewhere and take a rest. It was a great undertaking to got her otf. It took a whole week to got her apparel In tirst-class condition for she wasont raised on common clothes and won't.woar them now, ospeoially when she goes abroad or to church. Wo flnally got her off, though the train liked to have left her while she was saying goodby and kissing all the little grandchildren. One of the girls went with hor, but I was to scatter around at home. Two weeks was the time she gave herself, for she says that is as long as anybody ought to stay any where on a visit, for some times folks wear out their welcome and don't know it. In fact one week is the safest. She went to Home, where our oldest boy and his family live and where she lived for twenty-seven years. Some of her early friends are still thore and they came to see her, of course, and talked about the dear old times until their eyes got teary and they drew their chairs a little closer and were merry and sad by turns as they talked of the living and the dead. On Sunday she went to the same old church and eat in the same old pew and drank in music from the same old organ, but the preacher and the choir were changed. After sorvce she was forced to hold a reception in the vestibule where old friends and their children and grandchildren gathered around her, the friends to greet and their children to look upon theis matron of the olden time of whom they had heard. Yes, this wonderful woman who so gently dominated her lord and aaster and kopt him so sweetly sub dued that he liked the subjugation. She spent. a delightful week and the programme for another was already arranged when on Saturday some bird of the air told her that I was sick and she could hardly wait for the evening train. I had been sick, very sick, but the crisis had passed and for fear she might hear it and cut short her stay I wrote her that I was getting well and to finish her rest. She Is not that kind of a woman or wife, and sure enougi about 6 p. m., I happened to look out of the window and saw her coming ui the lawn like she feared I would die before eho got here. Then I had tc cell her as how I was taken down oi Wednesday, for my same old kidneye got belligerent again and wrestled with me and throw me, and I had vertl go and lumbago and embargo and my eye ba!ls ached and how the doctor treated me heroically and scandalously and dosed me with something every two hours-all different- and nobody can tell what cured me. But all's well that ends well, and noA I am in for another lease. Of coursi an old wagon will break down evei and anon aud has to be patched up and kept greased, or it can't go. By and by it will e'il collapse and turn to dust like the one-hoss shay. And now hire comes The Philadel. phia R-cord just to disturb my tran quility and aggravate me into using more language on those Yankee edi, tore. J have already used up all my adjectives on Boston and never dreamec I wouldi need any for the Q 2.akor City The Reccord pretends to be a Demo. cratic paper., but it has got a wholi column abou'. the Andersonville prisor and Its horrors, which it says havi created a sentiment that will last ai long as time, and how the poor creat ures wvoro shot down like dogs and starved, and had to dig wells twenty five feet deep with their hands anm scraps of shells in a vaIn effort to go Iwater to drink, etc. Well, it ia awfu to read, but I would like to know Iwhere those shells came from-muel have fed the boys oni oyster-. Yes, Bliaine charged all those her rors upon us in a terrible speech, anm Ben Hil11 replicd to him in one of thi greatest speeches of his life and re. futed every charge and did it from the war recordls and proved to the werk that Grant anid Stanton and Lincoli were reoponsi'~W for cvery death anm ali the distress that occurred at Andor sonville. They utterly refused to ox change prisoners with us when im portuned to do so for the sake of hu inanity, for Grant said that our men ir Northern prisons would go back to fight ing again. We begged them to send us rations and medictrse for their meri and told them that both might, be die. tributed by their own omllcrs and sur, goons. They refused to do this, and 0o course, their men died like sheep, :or we had no medicines and our own ra tions were corn meal and salt p)ork But those prisoners had just whal their guards had. Ask the guards whc still live. Ask Captain Hudson, of Marietta, one of the best of men, ant1 he wIll toll you that the prisoners had everything that he did and there was nc Inhumanity, but pity and sorrow for them and indignation at the heartless nes of their government. R~ead Percy Gregg's chapter on this Andersonville and you will wonder that such indif ference to the misery of their own sol diers could he found in any government upon earth. Mr. Gregg declares that if the great powers of Europe had have known it they would have been horror struck-that the authorities at Washington were really the murder ers of their own soldiers and they had to appease the kindred of those sol diers by making a scape goat of poor Wirt and hanging him after a mck trial. And yet a man who signs himself an Atlanta Yankee writes me an insulting letter and tells me to hold up awhile and lot the Yankees alone, for the war is over. Well, then, lot him call off his own dogs and write to his peOople to stop) their lies about Andersonville andJ about the negro, and let us alone. I will quit when they quit, and until the.9 repent and apologine I wIll cry aloud and spare not. Solomon says that, a slanderer is a coward and I wouldent reply to their slanders if it was not a maxim of the law, that silence under accusation is a partial confession of guilt. P nid lot me tell you, my brethren, tha the fire still burns in the bosomds of the Confederate veteorans and their children, and if disaster and conflict, como again to the peop~le of the South it will not be saved by the politicians or the mongrel money-lov ing p)eopl1 of the cities, but by the commnon people-the honest,, fearless yeomanry who make up our rural pop ulation. Dr. Andron . that gifted andt noble Northern man, told the p)oople of Chicago andl again at New Orleans that the Su~preme Court of the nation had decided that every p)rinciple we fought for was just and legal and justIfIed by the constitution, and Percy Gregg says they dident dare to try Mr. Davis for treason, for they know that. no curt. wnn1,1 cnvict him. But enough of this for this time. I see advertised a medicine that is war- I ranted to overcome that tired fooling which sometimes overcomes a man, and I'm going to buy a bottle and try d it, for these Northern slanlers make me tired half my time. And as I read them I unconsciously whisper that's a lie, that's another lie and another. David said : " And I said in mine haste that all men were liars." U U might have said it at his leisure if he v had lived up North till now and read t the Northern daily papers. And we see that McKinley has ap- I pointed another negro postmaster in I Alabama. Tried to shove it on him, i but the togro wouldent accept it. a That's the man our bootlickors were slobbering on while he was marching t through Georgia. May the Lord have mercy on us and protect us from our own politicians. Bi.LL Aw. P.

YORIK'S CHIAMION WHEAT FARM (no Thonsanal Bushels Raised on Ninety Acres--Dry Weather Cut Down the Yield. The Yorkville correspondent of the News and Courier says: Probably the largest quantity of wheat ever raised on one farm in York County was threshed last week, on the farm of Mr. b". 13. McClain ; and, while the average yield per acre has often been exceeded in this section, still the result Ia very encouraging when ail the circumstances in councution with the preparation of the land, the weather, etc., are taken Into considora tion. Last year almost the entire farm was planted in cotton and corn, and an extra large crop was made, but owing to the low price of cotton the profits of the year's work were not satisfac tory to Mr. McClain, and lie concluded that he would try wheat. The stalk crops were not finally gathered until about the 1st of December which is con sidered full late for wheat sowing, but nevertheless the land was prepared and the seed wheat put in the ground, the work not having been completed until about the middle of January, owing to continued wet weather, which rendered it impossible to prosecute the work of seeding without interrup tion. Ninety acres in all were sown, and the yield, measured, was 913 1 2 bush els. The standard weight of a bushel of wheat is 60 pounds. A number of measured bushels were weighed and oach one tipped the beam at 66 pounds. On this basis, and it is the commercial one, there were 60,181 pounds of wheat, or 1,000 bushels, which makes th3 average yield per acre 11 1-9 bush Ole. The varieties sown were " Virginia red chaff" and ' purple straw. A number of experts have pronounced the quality as being as Il no, if net the finest, they have ever examined. One speccial patch yielded at the rate of 40 bushels to the acre. The ground was carefully measured with a tape line, and the wheat with a standard half bushel measure. There was a small fraction over three-fourths acre of the ground and 31 1-2 bushels of wheat. .The fraction over three-fourths of an acre was not suflicient to have pro duced mere 1 1-2 bushels. Part of the 90 acres was good land, part average, and ten to fi fteen acres poor. On the latter Mr. Mc~lain did not expect to raise over seven or eight bushels to the acre under favorable conditions, and did not realize over - yie, his object in sowing it being to place himself in position to sow peas on it after the wheat was harvested, and thus improve and build it up. Hie said to your correspondent, in discus sing the matter, that, he reasoned this way : " That land will not pay much f sow in wheat, but if I do not sow it the chances are that I will put it in cotton, therefore, I will sow it in wheat, -and follow with peas. In the end the land will be better and, while the wheat may not pay, the improvement of the land will." In regard to the net profits on this crop your correspondent is net pre pared to make an accurate, detailed statement, but will give an approxi mate estimate which will not mies the exact cost materially one way or the other. The total cost was not far freom $425, which amount includes expense of preparing the land, fertilizer used, seed, sowing the same, harvesting, twine, hauling, fuel used by engine in threshing, etc. On this basis the net prodlt is at least $4'T5, as the wheat will readily bring $1 per bushel. Three-fourths of the straw was acci dentally burned by sparks from the engine used in threshing. Its com mercial value was in the neighborhood of $100. There was no rain of suflciout volume to wet the gr-ound on which the wheat grew thoroughly after April 10, and it Is generally estimated that this cause alone decreased the yild not only of Mr. McClain's wheat, but of all in this section, not less than 25 per cent. TuE TEXAS l"LOO).-The weather bureau has issued a special bulletin on the recent flood in the Brazes River dlistrict, Texas. The bulletin is accom panied by a map and tables showing phenomenal rain falls. Prof. H-. A. Hazon, in an introduct ory article, says : "It must be said th at after allowing for all the conditions we still have a most serious difliculty in accounting for tuch rains, which are analogous to so-called cloudbursts, about which almost nothing is known." I. M. Cline, the Texas forecast oflicial, says ia his report that in places the river was more than twelve miles wide. The damage to crops has been very great. There was a large acreage in cotton, corn, sugar cane and other crops. Cotton pilantors have suffered most. Sugar cane plantatonsd in the Braszos bottoms have sutfered much. in some places half the crop has been destroyed. LFarming implements, stock and many of the small tenant houses in the bottoms have been washed away. Total loseo, judging from reports and other available information, will ag gregate nearly $10,000,000. Action has already been taken by some farmers to plant other crops whoe cotton and1 cor'n have been de stroyedl. Somo cotton will be planted, but to what extent cannot be even ap proximnated. it is dlesired to make the district self-sustaining as soon as pos siblc, andl many who have interests along the Birazos Rliver consider this the best course to nursunn STATIC NEWS AND NOTES.
