The People's Journal PICKENSS. o -4 RO5A OF TANNENBURG In a great stone castle In the midst of the deep pine forests of Germany, there lived, a great many years ago, the knight of Tannenburg, and his daughter, losa. It was in the days when the lawless nobles of the country were constantly quarreling with one another, each burning his neighbor's grain and stealing his cattle wl lie the owner was fighting in distant wars. The castle of Tannenburg was like all castles of that time, strongly forti fled and surrounded by high walls and a deep moat. In an upper room one warm summer day, Hosa and her father satetogether. The knight had just come home from the wars, badly wounded, and Rosa, a fair-haired girl of 17, sat by him working over her gayly colored tapestry. ap, ather, ' she said. " Tell me the story of how you got the chain round your neck." Rosa had heard the story a hundred times before now, but she never tired of hearing it any more than the old knight of telling it. "When 1 was a page at court," began the knight, stroking his long, gray beard, "a great tournament was given in honor of a Frnuuch prince who came to visit our emperor. There I saw your mother for the first time and so lovely was she that she was elected to be the queen of beauty, and was to give the prize, a golden chain, to the victor. I loved her from the moment I saw her and her beauty gave me such strength and daring that I came out first in the gamos, much to the chagrin of the young baron of Odenwald, who opposed me fiercely in the tourney. He was like myself, a suitor for the hand of the queen of beauty, and when 1 finally won her for my brido he swore that he would have hib revenge on me." "But," interrupted Rosa, "his castle is only tifteen miles from us, and he has done us no harm yet." "Yes," answered her father, "that was many years ago, and he has now a young wife and two children, but he still hates me bitterly and-" A loud clamor in therourtyard inter rupted the story, and on looking out of the window to their consternation they saw the very man they were speaking of, the baron of Odenwald, and his sol diers marching up to the castle doors. The knight's soldiers were still at the wars and the few old men left to guard the castle had been easily overpowered by the fierce baron. Rosa screamed with terror. She heard the tramp of armed feet coming up the stairs. in came the haughty baron of Odenwald and ordered his men to bind and c rry off the wounded and helpless knight of Tannenburg. In vain woro Rosa's tears and prayers. The unfortunate knight was hurried olf, Rosa turned out of the castle, which was looted, and then locked up, and the poor girl left weeping and dis consolate. All night she wandered through the dark pine forest till she came to a char coal-burner's hut, where she was taken in and kindly treated. Days passed by and Rosa longed to see her father cnce more, and perhaps help him to escape. Accordingly, one day she stained her face with brownberry juice, changed her own pretty dress for a peasant's coar-se cotton gown, and with a large basket of mushrooms on her arm, start~ed elY for the castle of Odenwald. The sentinel, seeing only a harmless little peasant girl, let her pass over the drawbridge and through the castle gates. She walked up to the porter's lodge, where the porter's wife stood in the doorway scolding her children. The baron of Odenwald was extremely fond of mushroomns, and the basketful was soon bought and paid for by the porter's wife. "Will you not stay with me and hell me look after the children and cook the food for the prisoners'?" she ask~ed af ter a few moments' chat with Rosa. "] need a young, strong girl like you and will give you a new dress every year il you will stay." Rosa accepted this offer eagerly, and her duties, none too light, began thai very day. She had to light the ire ir the mornIng, dress the children, hell the porter's wife cook the most un savory soup for the prisoners of the castle and do many other things. On, day the porter came to his wife an< told her that he was obliged to go awa, with the baron for ,some days and tha she would have to 'take the prisoners food to them, besides cooking It. "No, indeed," replied his wife promptly, "there are murderers ant thieves in those cells and I will not g< near them." "Let me go," begged Rosa. "I wil do it for you." "Very well," saidl the porter, rathei surprised at her request, "come witi me andl I will show you how to unloci the doors." Together they went down a windini flight of stone steps, opened a dooi heavily bolted and barred and down r long dark corridor, dimly lighted by the porter's lantern. On one side wort small stone cells behind whose iror gratings wild, cruel faces gleamed ir the light of the passing lantern, tide ous oaths and fearful laughter followe( them, and Rosa shrank, frightened, t< the porter's side. "Do not fear them," he said, "thea cannot possibly escape. This man however, is good and getie, and yet can go right into his cell." Hie stoppet in front of one of the gratings and holi up his lantern. Rosa's heart beat f as and loud. There, on a wretched heaj of straw, lay her father, asleep, pait and emaciated. She longed to cal him, but remembered she must b< silent before the porter, and they lef him sleeping and walked back througi the long corridor, bolting the hoav door behind them. The next day Rosa took into the pris on the bowls of unappetizing so'up pushed one under every ,grating an( finally came to her father's coil. Un locking his door she rushed in ant knelt by the sick man's sie "F'ather lather 1' she cried. "Rosa !" exclaimei the knight, recognizing his daughte in spite of the brown stain and rougl dress. tie took her in his arms an: together they wep t over their terribi, misfortune. Then Rosa told her fathe all her adventures since he had beel carried off, until the sound of the grea bell of the castle coming dim and mul fled through the dark dungeon wall warned her that It was time to go bacd to the porter's wife.. Twice every day R.osa brought foct to the prisoners, and thus saw he father. Escape, however, was not pos sible. The walls were too guarded and as the days slipped by the poo guests flow from mouth to mouth. So ex "tcd wet they all that the nurse maid forgot her precious charges, the baron's; two little ons, who were play fiAg In the courty ard, while she gossiped with the scullery maid over the com ing event. - A bright blue and yellow butterfly flow across the yard, and away went the two children after it. The butter fly settled for a moment on the edge of the bucket dangling over the well. The eldest of the children claimbered up, stretched out his little hand to reach the gay plaything, lost his bal ance and fell in. The baroness at the window saw and fainted at the sight. Men and maids rushed up, and among them Rosa. Down into the dip mal depth of the well they peered and saw that the little follow's coat had caught on a sharp stone projecting halfway down the well. R'sa saw that the coat was already beginning to tear; that there was no time to be lost, and, jump ing into the bucket, told the men to let her down gently til she reached the boy. Soon the child was safe in her arms and the bucket with its occupants, carefully brought up to the mouth of the well. It was not many hours after that the baron of Odenwald, sitting in the great hall of the cast~l with his g uests, heard the story of his son's narrow escape from death and of Rosa's plucky act. "Bring the girl here !" he coin. manded, and Rosa was brought in, her rough peasant dress contrasting with the gay costumes of the knights and ladies in the hall. "Girl," said the baron, "you saved my son's life. Ask what you will of me and I will give it you." "Baron of Odenwald," answered Rosa, bolrly, "there is one favor I will ask of you. Give up your prisoner, the knlgbt of Tannonburg, to me." "No, no! Not that !" frowned the baron. A murmur wont around the hall from the guests-"your word ;" "your hon or"-and the baron turned pale with chagrin and roge. Ry his order the wounded knight was brought up from the dungcon. Astonished and almost blinded by the bright light he gazed around him whilst Rosa quietly put her hand in his. "My daughter, what does thIs mean W" he said. "His daughter," murmurod the guests once more. The whole story then came out, a re conciliation was affected between the knight and the baron and the property of the former restored to him. Some days later R'sa and her fath-er sat together in an upper chamber of the castle, the knight with the glow of returning health on his face, Rosa in a pretty little silk gown and the brown stain completely disappeared." "Father," said R sa, "this is a happy ending after all of the story of the gold en chain." "Yes, dear," answered her father, "I began the story, but it was my bravo little daughter who brought it to this happy termination."-The Record. WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. COLUMIA, S. C., Aug. 15th, 1899. The week ending Augubt 14th. 1899, gave a continuation of the excessively hot weather that has prevailed almost w ithout cessasion since u pu inU-g UA i the crop season. The weekly mean temperature was about 5 deg rees above the normal. Thlunderstor-ms occurred on the 8'.h, 10th and 11th, quite generally over the State, with, however, localities that had no rain or insuflicient amounts, while generally there was enough, and in Colleton and Edge field coun ties ex cessive rains occurred. In the latter county, at Poverty H1111, nearly 9) inches fell during two showers, liooding bot tom lands, and damaging crops there on. High winds and hail also did some damage by blowing 'down corn, and beating down other field crops. Army worms continue to destroy young corn and grass, and were report ed from more counties than last week, but their number is applarontly do creasing. Horn worms on tobacco have spread over three counties and are very troublesome. -Early cotton is opening over the en tire State, and picking has begun in localities. There is somewhat less shedding than last week, but rust is sp~reading. 'rho bottom crop is a heavy one, the middle cmop very poor, hav ing been shed, while the new growth is putting on a top) crop in places. As a whole, its present condition cannot be said to be promising, nor yet ex Itremely poor, both conditions prevail ing according to locality. Sea-island cotton shedding some, still blighting, is well fruited and beginning to open. There is general improvement in 3 corn that has not reached maturity, with a few reports of exceeding fine ) crops, but the contrat y is the rule. Fodder pulling is well under way, and being finished in southeastern coun Lies. A fair yield of fodder has been saved. Tobacco cutting and curing is about finished In the eastern districts. The quality of the crop has been further injured in places by excessive heat and worms. In the western districts cut ting h as only begun. Rice is heading and some is ripen lng, whle harvesting has begun on a small scale. Many report upland rice very poor. Sugar cane, sorghum, peas Iand pinders doing well generally. Turnips being sown, and lands prepared for fall truck crops. I1APPENING;S ON FlIuAY.--Moscow burned on Friday. Shakespeare born on Friday. Mayflower landed on Friday. Bastile destroyed on- Friday.

Bill Arp Says the Old Lady Will Find Out When She Is Not Conx. suited. Mr. Lincoln said, "You may fool some of the people all the time-you may fool all of the people some of the timo, but you can't fool all the people all the time." That's so, I reckon, but I will add that a man can't fool his wife at all. She catches up with him by Instinct. My wife has been away to Rome and so I took advantage of her absence and had two trees cut down. One was dying at the top and the other was crowding two other trees and doing no good. But she is utterly hostile to cutting down a tree and so I have to do It while suo is away. One of them was cut down low to the ground and after every chip and twig was cleared up I had grass put Dver the place where the tree was. I was going to do the other the same way, but I got sick and she came home prematurely and there was the stump grinning with its fresh cut edges. I was getting better, but 'when I saw her coming I took a horizontal attitude en the couch and tried to look sick and sad and melancholy. It was two days before she noticed that stump and when she called my attention to it I told her that it was an old stump and had been there for years. She never said anything, but there was a doubt ful expression on her tranquil coun tenance. If there were no grandclil iren around here I could get along, but they let the cat out of the bag every time and I am the victim. " I don't remember ever seeing that stumnp before, " said she, but I persuaded her that the late rains had colored it. When she found me out, I assured her that the tree was hollow and was bound to die soon and that its proxi mity to tie other trees prevented thoir Lxpansion and that expansion was now the policy of the country. " Yes," said she, "I suppose wAe must cut do vn the smaller trees so that the larger ones can have more room. We must kill oif the 'ilipinos for the same rea son. I wonder how many of the poor Dreatures they have killed. If our people kill a black brute down here they make an awful fuss about it, but they are killing thousands because they are defending their native land. It is all very strange to me." I don't like some of our Governor's late utterances. The daily pai~er prints in big lines that he said the man or men who lynched a negro wcro as guilty in the sight of God as the negro , hey lynehea. Surely he didn't say that. The reporter must have misquoted him again. It doe riot sound like him. There is no such theology in the books. If God had not have pat a mark upon Cain anybody might have slain him. Moses had to p'.ovide citie-s of refuge for those wio aciuentally killed anybody, lest th avengrn's of blood should pursue and overtake and slay them. The avengers of blood were recognized factors in the administration of the law. What would have been the punishment of these black brutes in Moses's time for their outrages we cannot imagine, for with the Jews no such crimes were known, and to this day no such crime is known among tbem. As a race they are the purest people in their do muestic relations. Husbands are lo0 al and true and kind to their wives and wives to their husbinds ; children are obedilent to their parents and affection ate t~o one another. But ihere among us are a numerous people who seom utterly devoid of those family virtues that arc the safeguards of all geod government. Within the last, thirty years they hava grown from childhood to manhood and have become infinite ly worse than their fathers and moth ers were while in slavery. There are muore bastard negrees in and around this city than those born in wedlock. They are not mnulattocs, but they are negroes of full blood. The moral do gencracy of thle race is abermming. Trhe State convicts and county convicts now aggregate over four thousand, and all of them have come to maturity since the close of the civil war. Trhe morals of these negroes gets worse and worse and their outrages upon white women more frequent and more brutal. Our psople are shocked and whisper to one anoths r, who w'll be the next victim. When the savage Indians burned the homes and tomnahawk{ed the women and children our forefathers pursued them by day and by night and had their revenge. We have a people among us many of whom are worse than savages, and every man among us who is loyal to his wife or mothber or sister or daughter Is an avenger of blood and should never stop) until the brute is caught, and slain. ["or such there are no cities of refuge and no horns of the altar for him to lay hold of. This Is one crime that makes a man an outlaw and the peopleO have no more fear of provoking the vengear.ce of God than did Governor Candler when he was leading his brave men against the enemy and crying at the top of his voice, "Shoot 'em, boys! Shoot 'em ! Kiil the last rascal ; come on, boys ; Come on and follow me !" Hie never thought of giving them a trial by jury nor of being guilty of murder. Let governors proclaim In their perfunctor:;- fashion- let preachers and judges speak ex-cathedra from the pulpit and the bench, our people will lynch a brute as soon as they can catch bim, and it is no sign of lawlessness, either. You cannot [ind in any State a better citIzenship than In Early county, and my letters from friends who live there defend them most heartily from all their slanderers, lI you wish to hear the truth, just, sound the common people- the country poo0 pie, the working people, who live In the peril of these outrages-the peCo pie who are too poor to move to towns or cities-the people who are of all 1)00p)1 the most obedient to law-the p~eople who serve on our juries and work the reads, and nurse their sIck neighbors and bury their dead, and who gather at the humble church on the Sabbath day and worship God. Trhese are the lynchers for this parti cular crime and always will be. if a thoughtless, reckless element joins them it cannot be helped. The people of our county of Bartow, I supp~ose, are a fair sample of the people of Geor gia. There has been hut one hanging in twenty-two years. We have no white citizens in the chaingang, no body ever shoots or lights in our streets. Sometimes at long intervals there is a emal l ght, between lawyers in the courthouse, while court Is in session, and the judge en hand to stop It, but nothing mere. But nine out of ten of our grand and l).tit juries would lynch a negro for this crimio as soon as they could catch him. Ex-Governor Jones, of Arkansas, has got sense common sense-and he says : " Al thIs stuff about the law's delay provok ing lynching is the merest nonsense. When thIs crime is committed no man stops to think or to care whether the brute will be tried next week or next year. They want vengeance right, now and they are going to have it and that is human nature in all civilized countries and is to be commended rather than condemned." And so lot Governor Candler recon sider and tako back, if ho said it. He can with propriety teach us patriotism and the purity of politice, but hE " obtier dictum," as the lawyers call it, on our guilt or innocence before God Is "ultra viros"-it I9 beyond his juris diction and hence goes for nothing. But wo are all getting along pretty well. Two woks ago it looked like starvation was staring us in the face. The garden had dried up, the corn was perishing away ; everything save cot ton had withered, but the trains catne in with the dog days, which this year began on the 20th, and the change ii wonderful. it looks like a miracle of grace. Verily, God moves in a myste rious way and, as the poet.says, " Behind a frowning providenco Ho hid',s a smiling face." Our second crop of garden vegetablet Is botter than the first. We did not count on any more beans or squashm or cucumbers and the tomatoes were nearly dead, but everything Is on a boom. Our roses aro more beautiful than ever before and every morning I fill the vases with a fresh supply, and my wife smiles her sweet rewards. Verily, we cannot foresee what a kind Providence has in store for us. Now, if the Philippine war will be honorabl alosed and our northern brethren will apologizo and be reconciled to us, and our negroes will bohave and vote the Democratic ticket, wo will all be happy. 111,1, A RPi. - -------- ow.*.
