THE Cutton Mills are going sto be
built, and you need have no fears
aboat it. Our bsiness men are i:: dead
earnest. This will be great help not
only to the town, but to the surround
ing country. The installment plan
will make payments easy. The farm
ers sh.u'd take stock. They make the
cotton, and they should h:ave a hand
in nanufaicturing.
Ex-'-uInF JUSTICE BLECKL.EY, of
Georgia, has annou'aced ithat lie cannot
m ike a support for his family in the
practice of law, and he will try some
thing else. He ought to ha e come to
South Carolina and joined 'the move
ment." All the -lawyers, who got in
on the ground fipor, are doing a very
profitable business. One is Governor,
two got on the Supreme Bench, six or
seven got on the Circuit. beuch, two or
three got in Congress, oke Superin
tendent of education, and, in fact,
pretty much all of them are right com
fortably situated. Besides, "the move

litigation for its attorneys.

IT WON'T GO.
Cru ade Against Kissing Started by a
Chicago Doctor.
From the ew York Horning Journal.
Dr. Reilly, of the Chicago board of
health, has perpetrated an outrage
which calls for the fiercest denuncia
tion of which any language is capable.
Not having the fear of God before him,
and being instigated thereto by the
devil, he has issued a circular in behalf
of ibe board denouncing the practice
of kissing. We de not know Dr.
Reilly and therefore cannot speculate
as to his-motives. If he is an old
fenleman hemay have lost his memory,
There may be here and there an old
man who delights not in kissing the
girls, and he may be one of them.
This, however, would not be a suf
ficient explanation unless it can be
shown that be has lost his memory.
If.be could look back to the -days of
his outh and of his robust manhood
he would be thrilled by the recollections
which cluster around those days.
Poor Dr. Reilly. He is so far re
moved from the sensations and from
the delicious. memories of the sensa
tions which are related to kissing that
he now goes. into a cold-blooded cata
logue of all the diseases which flesh is
eiro~SUd- undertakerAwsb~o9s
snd husbands,' that this delightful
method of,closing the electric current
may bring, with it tuberculosis and no
iud of bacilli diseases. His scheme
will not work ; the kissing will go on.
It will gather momemtum from the
discussion. Dr. Reilly has taken
refge from the storm of ridicule
which has burst upon him by publish
ig opinions of certain other doctors
of renown upholding bis teachings.
Who cares? The doctors who endorse
him simply write themselves down as
fossils and dred remains of the man
ood lof an earlier age. Until they
can abolish human nature and take the
roses from the cheeks and lips of fair
maidens youth and manhood will still
be ready to sing, with Tom Moore's
ero, to the fair objects of their de
votion:
"There's one, win but to *kiss thy
cheek,
Would climb the untrodden solitude
of Ararat's tremendous peak.
And think its steeps, though da'-k,
Heaven's pathway, if to the they led."
An eery old man and old woman
whose memory is greeni will applaud
this sentiment.

A NEW AFRICAN ROMANCE,
We k'ent up the valley, following the c
ourse of the stream for-about a mile;
then Indaba-zimbi made a sudden turn
to the right, along another kloof, of
which there were countless numbers in
the base of the great hill.
On we went through kloof after kloof.
Indaba-zimbi, who led us, was never at
a loss; he turned up gullies and struck
across necks of hills with the certainty
of a hound on a hot scent. At length,
after about three hours' march, we came
to a big, silent valley on the northern
slope of the great peak. On one side of
this valley was a series of stony koppies;
on the other rose a sheer wall of rock.
We marched along the wall for a dis
tance of some two wiles. Then sudden
ly Indaba-zimbi halted.
"There is the place," he said, point
ing to an opening in the cliff. This
opening was "'about forty feet from the'
ground and ellipse-shaped. It could not
have been more that twenty feet high
by ten wide and was partially hidden
by ferns and bushes that grow about it
in the surface of the cliff. Keen as my
eyes were I -doubt if I should ever have
noticed it, for there were many such
crags and crannies in the rocky face of
the great motintain.
We drew near and looked carefully at -
the place. The first thing I noticed
was that the rock, which was not quite
perpendicular, had been worn by the
continual passage of baboons; the sec
ond, that something white was hanging
on a bush near the top of the ascent.
It was a pocket handkerchief.
Now there was no more doubt about
the matter. With a beating heart I be
gan the ascent. For the first twenty
feet it was comparatively easy, for the
rock shelved; the next ten feet was
very difficult, but still possible for an
active man, and I achieved it, followed
by Indaba-zimbi. But the last twelve
or fifteen feet could only be scaled by
" THE BRUTES sTREAMIED ON TOWAnD ME."
throwing a rope over the trunk of a.
easy. A foot or two above z y head the
handkerchief fluttered in the wind.
Hanging to the rope, I grasped it. It
was my wife's. As I did so I noticed
the face of a baboon peering at me over
the edge of the eleft, the first baboon
we had seen th~at moraing. The brute
gave a bark and vantished. Thrusting
the handkerchief into my breast, I set
my feet against the cliff and scrambled
up as hard as I cogild go. I knew that
we had ggp time to lose, for the baboon
would quickly alarm the others. I
gained the cleft. It was a mere arched
passage cut by water, ending in a
gully, which led to a wide open space
of some sort I looked through the
passage and gaw that the gully was
black with baboons. On they came by
the hundreds. I unslung my elephant
gun from my shoulders and waited, call
ing to the men below to .come up with
all possible speed. The brutes streamed
on down the -gloomy gulf towards
me, barking, grunting and show
ing their huge teeth. I waited till
they were within fifteen yards. Then I
fired the elephant gun, which was loaded
with slugs,right into the thick of them. In
that narrow place the report echoed like
a cannon shot, but its sound was quickly
swallowed in the volley of piercing'
hman-soundinlg groans and screams
that followed. The charge of heavy
lugs had plowed thr-ugh a number
of the baboons, of which at least a1
dozen lay dead or dying in the passage.
For a moment they hesitated, '.hen they]
came on again with a hideous clamor.]
Foitunately by this time Indaba-zimbi,
who also had a gun, was standing by my
ide, otherwise 1 should have been torn1
to pieces before I could reload. He fired
both barrels into them, and again
Ihecked the rush. . But they came on
again, and notwithstanding the appear
ance of two other natives with guns, which]
ey let off with mere or less success, we
should have been overwhelmed by the
eat and ferocious apes had I not by
,this time succeeded in reloading the
elenhant run. When they were right
on to us I-fired, with -even more deadly i
effect than before, for at that distance I
every slug told on tlheir long line. The
howls and screams of rage and fury
were now something inconceivable.
One might have thought we were doing <
battle with a host of demons: indeed in <
that light-for the overhanging arch of 1
rock made it very dark-the gnashing I
nouts and somber, glowing eyes of,
the apes looked like those of devils as 1
they are re;pesented by monkish fancy. <
But the last shotwas too much for them; I
they withdrew, dragging sonme of their
wounded with them, and thus gave us t
time to get our men up the cliff. In a I
few minutes all were there, and we ad- C
anced down the passage, which pres- o
mntly opened into a rocky gully with fl
shelving sides. This gully had a water- i
way at the bottom of it; it was about a 1
hundred yards long, and the slopes on l;
either side were topped by precipitous t.
cliffs. I looked at these slopes; they S
iterally swarmed with baboons, grunt- t<
ing, barking, screaming and beating
their breasts with their long arms in I
fury. I looked up the water-way; along '
It, accompanied by a mob, or, as it were, b
aguard of baboons, came Hendrika, her 0
long hair flying, madness written on her e
face, and in her arms was the senseless ce
form of little Tota.
She .saw us, and a foam of rage burst t
from her lips. She screamed aloud. To
me the sound was a mere articulate cry, jb
but the baboons clearly understood it, b
us. One bowider leap: Ua1p Ie a
tuck down a. a licr.lz-blu;uother
-11 from' the roof" t1%d:ch 6n to a
ian's head and killed ..imi. indaha
.mbi lifted his gun to shoot. llciidrika;
knocked it up, so that'the shot went
ver her, crying that.he wiould kill the
ild. Then I shouted to the men to
pen out and form a line from side to
ide of the shelving gully.. Frious at
he loss of -their two- con-'ades, they
beyed me, and keeping in the water
ay myself, together with intaba-zimbi
nd the other guns, I gave the word to
arge.
Then the real batle began. It is
ifficult to saf' who foight the most
ercely, the natives. or th b aboons.
'he Kaffirs charged along the slopes,
nd as they came, encourag1d by the
creams of Hendrika, who rushd to and
ro holding the wretched Tot"a before
Ler as a shield, the apes b-bounded at
hem in fury. Scores were killed by the
ssegais, and many more -fell beneath
ur gdri-shots; bift still thby came on.
for did we go scatheless. Occasionally
man would slip, or be pulled over in
he grip of a babon. Then-'the others
rould fling themselves upon him like
ogs on a rat 'nd worry.li'fi to death.
Ve lost fivOen i'this .s% and I my
elf received a bite. through the fleshy
art of the left arm, but fdrtunately a
.ative near me essegaied tho. animal be
?ro I was pulled down.
'At length, ind all of a "sudden, the
aboons gate up' A ptanic' see'med to
eize them, Notwi*thstanding the cries
f Hendrika they thought~no more of
ght, but only of escapd; .some ee'Vn did
ot attempt to get away fr.Qm the as
egais of the Kaffirs, th(y "imply hid
heir horrible faces in their paiWs, and,
oaning piteously, waited to be slain.
Hendrika saw that ~thd 'battle was
ost. Dropping .the child from her arms,
5he rushed straight at us, a very picture
>f horrible insanity.' I lifted my gun,
ut could not bear to shoot. After all
he was but a mad thing, half ape, half
woman. 'So I sprang to: one side, and
fhe landed full on Indaba-zimbi, knock
ng him do'/ But she did not stay to
lo any more. Wailing terribly, she
rushed down the gully and through the
rch, followed by many of. the surviving
baboons, andvinished from our sight.
CHAPTER XIII.
WUAT HAEPPENED TO STELLA.
The fight was over. In all we had
Lost seven men killed, and several more
were severely bitten, while but few had
scaped without some tokens whereby
be might remember what a baboon's
teeth and claws are like. How many of
the brutes we killed I never knew, be
ause we did not count, but it was a vast
umber. I should think that the stock
must have been low about Babyan's
Peak for many years afterwards. From
bhat day to this, however, I have always
ivoided baboons, feeling more afraid of
hem than any beast that lives.'
The path was clear, and we rushed
rorward up the water-course. But first
e picked up little Tota. The child
was not in a swoon, as I had thought,
ut paralyzed by terror., so that she
ould scarcely speak. Otherwise she
was unhurt, though it took her many a
week to recover her nerve. Had she been
dder, and had she not remembered
endrika, I doubt if she would have re
~overed it. She knew me again, and
lung her .li~tle arms, about my neck,
et on with her in my ars SThe
ears that pierced my heart may well be
Lmagined. Should I find Stella alive or
lead? Well, we should soon know now.
We stumbled on up the stony water
ourse; notwithstanding the weight of
rota I led the way, for suspense lent
n wings. Now we were through, and
n extraordinary scene lay before us.
e were in a great natural amphithea
er, only it was three timcs the size of
y amphitheater ever shaped by man,
nd the walls were formed of precip
tous cliffs, ranging frem one to two
undred f.eet in height. For the rest,
the space thus inclosed was level, stud
ed with park-like trees, brilliant with
lowers, and having a stream running
through the center of it, that, as I after
wards discovered, welled up from the
round at the head of the open space.
We spread sourselves out in a line,
3earhing everywhere. for Tota vwas too
ivercome to Ue able to tell ..is where
tella was hidden away. For nearly
alf an hour we searched and zearched,
icaning the walls of rock for any pos
lble opening to a cave. In vairn. we
ould fiud nonoY I applie tN ol In
aba-zimbi, but his foresight wa~s at
Eault here. All he eculd say wa that
this was the place. and that the Star
was hidden somewhere in a cave, but
here the cave .was he could not tell.
& t last we came to the top of the amphi
heater. There before us was a wall of
ck, of wvhich the lower parts vwere
Lere and there clothed in grasses,
ichens andi creepers. I walked along
t, calling at-thie top of my voice.

and marveled at the power wielded by a
savage who could not even read and
write.
Now I could see Stelila ulearly. Ier
face was scratched and hagard with
fear and w1epin', her clothes wero al
most torn off her, and her beautiful hair
was loose and tangled. I sent for water,
and we sprinkled her face. Then I
forced a little of the brandy which we
distilled from paeahes at the kraals be
tween her li-ps, and she opened her eyes,
and throwing he.r arms about me clung
I to me as little Tuta had don,, sobbing:
"Thank God! thank God:'
After awhile sho grew quiete'r, and 1
made her and Tota cat a little food from
the store that we had brought -with us.
I. too, ate.-and was thankful, for with
the exception of the mealic cobs I had
tasted nothing for nearly four-and
twenty hours. Then she washed her
face and hands, and tidied her rags of
dress as well as she was able. As she
did so, by degrees I drew her story from
her.
It seemed that on the previous after
noon, being wearied with packing, she
went out to visit her father's grave,
taking Tota N;ith her, and was followed
there by 'ho two dogs. She wishcd to
lay some flowers on the grave and take
farewell of the du,: it covered, for, as
we had expected to trek early. on the
morrow, she did not know if she would
find a-later opportunity. They passed
up the garden, and, gathering scme
flowers from the orange trees and else
where, went tn to the little grave
yard. Here she laid t'n on tho -rnve

baboons, that seemeid to obeyv her im-.
plicitly. Moreover. she would not allow
them to touch either Stella or the child
in her arms. Oinee erne of themn
tried to do so, and sihoe s:ized a dead
stick and st'uck ir, so heavily on the
head that it .fell senseless. T1hrice
Stella made an attempt to escape, for
sometimes even Ilendrika's giant
strength waned and she had to set them
down. But on eachi occasion she caught
them, and it was in th 'se struggles that
