PHIL DENNETT'S
"HIGHBACK."
hy john DO yd CLARKE.
Copi/riuM, 1000, hu John Uoyd I lathe.
DOTTED over the great grain
prairies of upper Minnesota
nru many little communities
of unpalntcd plank cottages
or even of "soil" houses whose Inhab
itants possess more of the characterls
tlcs of the old time Yankee thiiu the
present occupants of our New England
homesteads. And the reason for this
it? plain. These western Yankees au>
lineal descendants of our best Puritan
stock and In migrating to their prairie
homes from the rugged New England
hill farms took the peculiarities and
homely virtues of their ancestors with
them. Boston "culture" has been 111
tered over tho New England farm
steads, nnd the old time Yankee or the
old fashioned Yankee community Is an
Impossibility In tho east.
But these westerners display tho In
dustry ami frugality of their ancestors.
They are a hardworking people whose
pleasures come laboriously. For eight
months In tin' year It Is a tug with na
ture for the necessities and a few of
the luxuries of life. The other four
months they are snow bound. It Is In
this season, when the snow mantles
the prairies ami the Ice king fetters
the water courses, however, that tho
Minnesota boys ami girls Und most of
their pleasures.
It Is In winter that "school keeps,"
and some of the pupils are well grown
youths ami maidens. There Is llttlo
time for education durlug the rest of
tho year, ami the ambitious are not
ashamed to show their anxiety for
"book learning." Tin- sehoolhouse, usu
ally lu tho center of the widely scat
tered community. Is the headquarters
for all junketings and frolics. If the
schoolmaster happens to bo musically
Inclined, bo much tho better. There is
at once a singing school established
for one evening lu the week.
Several years ago In a community of
this kind known as Sassafras Bottoms
the young people formed a singing club
which met at the sehoolhouse on Fri
day evenings. The people of the Bot
toms made up a typical Mlnuesotlan
community- there were none very rich
and few very poor. The young people
had all met each other In the common
school, that great leveler of class dis
tinction, nnd there were few cliques.
There was one family, a recent ac
quisition to the Bottoms, which wus
rather an exception to this, however.
They bad lived some years down St.
Paul way In a much more thickly set
tled part of the state nnd were Inclined
to look down a little upon their new
neighbors. Especially was this true of
the son and daughter. Hiram Ball was
a little spick and span fellow, with
dark complexion ami eyes and hair as
black ns coal. He was very gallant
with the Indies and was Inclined to
snub some of the boys in a way which
they could not resent excepting in
their hearts. His sister Mira was a
pretty little brunette, but she, like her
brother, had such an exalted opinion
of her own importance that she was
not very popular. In fact, the coming
Of the Balls to Sassafras Bottoms was
the sowing of di scord in the social life
of the community.
The winter of which I write began
With a good fall of snow the day be
fore Thanksgiving, and at once tho
boys got out their sleighs nnd planned
to take the girls to ride. There were
all sorts and conditions of sleighs,
from the wood sled with a carrlago
seat affixed and the ordinary "pung" to
Phil Dennett's old fashioned "high
back." Phil Dennett was the acknowl
edged leader among the young fellows
of tho Bottoms, and It was considered
something of an honor among the girls
to be Invited to share bis slelgl) to nnd
from singing school. Tho old highback,
a huge box affair which had often held
a merry party of six quite comfortably,
was an Institution In the Dennett fam
ily. It had belonged to Phil's great
uncle, nnd Phil patched and painted It
every fall with a sort of veneration.
Phil was a merry, good tempered fel
low, and, as I have hinted, the girls of
his acquaintance were glad to go
sleighing with him. But for two or
three winters past there had been few
er frolics lu the old highback. Phil had
seemed to prefer taking oho young
lady at a time, ami that fortunate per
son was always the same?the doctor's
daughter, Myrtle Kemp. Other girls
who may have secretly "set their caps"
at the big, good natured young farmer
bad to turu their eyes elsewhere per
force.
Hiram Ball happened to pass tho
Dennett placo the morning after tho
first snowfall and saw Phil's box sleigh
In tho yard.
"Hello, Dennett!" he exclaimed.
"Where'd you get that ark?"
"Don't you like the looks of It?"
quelled Phil coolly.
"It looks like a relic of the mound
builders," said HI, with n laugh.
"Don't s'pose your sister would caro
to go sleighing with me, eh?" respond
ed Phil.
"Well, hardly In that thing."
"All right; I shan't ask her, then."
"Pay, you don't really mean to sajr
Thk Mormon Tabernacle-?A
\ visitor to Salt Lake City describes the
great Mormon Tabernacle and its fa
mous choir of ?OO voices as follows:
To the stranger in Zion this taber
nacle is a constant source of wonder.
From the outside the. immense build
ing with its curved roof looks liko a
giant, sleeping turtle; within, a ceil
ing without visible support other than
the walls, arches over seats enough to
acconimodato 1.'1,000 pcoplo comfort
ably. It is a marvel of engineering
and architecture, and tho idea was
evolved from the fertile brain of
Brlgham Young. The acoustics of the
atrucluro are unequalled, and no
i prllgrim in this land of the Latter-day
^Saints can forgot tho experience of
that you'd ask a ?Irl lo go to ride \vl(Ti
you in that?" demanded hi conflden-1
tlally.
riiii looked at ititu calmly, but with
a spark of lire in bis eyo. "if you wait
till Friday night, you'll boo the nicest
girl in these bottoms riding lu It," ho
said. ?'Myrtle Kemp, I mean."
The sliot told, for It was an open se
eret that I'liil was not the only fellow
who worshiped at the shrlno of the
doctor's daughter.
Myrtle Kemp uns almost the only
girl In the neighborhood whom Miss
Ball put herself out to become friendly
with, and It was whispered that that
was entirely for her brother's sake.
Most of the young men of the Bottoms
had loug since decided that Phil had
outclassed them in Myrtle's favor, but
[I Ira 111 Ball was bound by no such be
lief, in truth, although IMlll had made
ni> his mind regarding Myrtle, he was
not at all sure that she had made up
her mind regarding him, and the poor
fellow it it 1 not dare risk coming to the
issue with the doctor's daughter.
Most of the boys were too busy mak
ing all secure about ihe farmsteads for
the winter (that first fall of snow had
come a little unexpectedly) to do much
sleighing previous to the ulght of the
singing club, The heavy wagons and
WOOd sleds had by that time beaten a
very lair path in the snow, l'hil had
not seen Myrtle, but It was quite un
derstood between them that he was al
ways to stop for her on his way to the
Bchoolhouse. The day before, Th?rs?
day. Homebody told him In the store
thai Hi Ball had not a new sleigh.
? Ii s coiih up on the last trip of the
rlyer steamer come 'way from St.
Paul," said his informant. "An the
say it's a hummer. All red an yalier
an silver bells on to the shafts. He'll
cut some of you boys out with the ?als
this whiter."
l'hil scarcely thought this able,
howev. r. Hi was most unpopular with
the boys and was hardly liked by the
girls despite his gallantry. But Phil
! had yet to learn that the glitter of gilt
is often mistaken for the gleam of pure
gold.
He harnessed his best horse into the
box sleigh at the usual time and set
out for the doctor's house, fur up the
read. Blowing oul of a side lane which
led to the Ball farm. I hero was a Hash
of red and yellow. I' was Hiram's new
sleigh, and behind 11 rum's pacer it
quickly disappeared Olli Phil's sight.
He jogged along moderately. There
was plenty of time before the singing
school began.
When ho reached the doctor's front
gate, he noticed that a sleigh had slop
ped there before llllll, for he could see
the tracks, but he siili hail no sus
picion of the disuppeiutment which
awaited him.
The Jolly little doctor met. him at the
porch door.
"You're too late, Phil!" he exclaim*
ed. Iiiughing in his usual boisterous
manner. "Myrt's gone."
' Hey:" drawled the astouished Phil.
"She ain't gone alone?"
"Bless you. no!" cried the doctor.
"Hiram Ball Just came lu his new
Blclgll and took her. I tell you what,
Phil, Hi's going to cut all you hoys out
With t hat new cutter of ids."
Phil climbed back into the old high
back and drove away without a worth
lie was dazed and bitterly disappoint
ed. He was half minded to turn back
'You're too lato, Phill" he exclaimed.
"Myrt's yo/ic."
and not go to the schoolhou.-;" at all.
But then, pride coming to ills rescue,
he would not do that. He thought once
of going around by some other girl's
house and "spiteing" Myrtle in that
way. But I'liil was first of all just.
There might be a mistake. Myrtle
might have thought ho was not coin
ing. Perhaps she had been told he was
not. He believed HI thoroughly un
scrupulous. So ho drove on alone to
the schoolhouso and hitched Black Boh
to the rail beside Ill's handsome new
turnout. It was a pretty cutter rath
er too light for country travel?and ho
could scarcely blame any girl for want
ing to ride lu It.
The other fellows had gathered
around and "thought" many things
when I Mill drove up alone, but nobody
cared to chaff the big fellow. A mas
tiff Is usually good natiired, but there
are some liberties that even a mastiff
will not allow.
The boys and girls seldom sat with
each other- unless it was n well under
stood fact that they were engaged?
and Myrtle was in the midst of a bevy
of chattering friends when l'hil enter
ed. She seemed to talk all the faster
as he appeared, and an unmistakable
blush arose to her cheek. Secretly the
doctor's daughter knew she had treat
ed her old friend meanly.
l'hil calmly took ids seat, but before
the evening was over he found an op
portunity to speak a moment with
Myrtie In private.
"Will yon ride home with me, Myr
tle?" lie nsked.
"Oh, I must go back with Mr. Ball,"
?be said nervously. "1 liavo prom
ised."
"You knew I was coming for you,"
lie said quietly. "Will you go hack
with moV"
"I'll he glad to come with you next
week, Phil," She said.
"I don't want you next week," ho
said, flashing lire. "1 want you to
night."
"Very well. If you don't want mo
next week, you aro not obliged to have

In this fact lies tho secret of the
power and beauty of Tabernacle mu

fullnoHS and purity in the degree f! <\t

The red nnd yellow cutter stopped nt'
the doctor's gate the next Friday night.
Phil's highback went around by the
other road. There was nothing more
said by either; neither could their '
friends pump anything' regarding the
estrangement out <>r them. And EHrnui
Ball, wisely, sealed his own lips nba>.
Phil did not miss a session otWhe
einging club, lie seldom called former
drove any of the girls home. If he j
did, It was always somebody who oth
erwise would have been ueglected. He !
told himself that Myrtle should BOO he
was no weathercock. And, in truth,
If he could not have the girl of his
choice he wanted none at all.
The winter drew toward spring.
There had beim a thaw in Februar?'
which almost spoiled tho sleighing, but
when It grew cold again the hard pack
ed snow froze solid, and the runners
fairly hummed over the mads. The
wiseacres, too, declared that the win
ter was by no means over. There was
a big storm due. and the longer it de
layed the more severe It would prove
when It finally came.
One Friday late in the month the
snowbank* began to pile up around
the horizon, and the farmers hastened
to get their sheep into the folds and
make all secure for the night. There
was little wind, however, and the
Storm grew slowly. Phil was late at
the sluging club that night. It was
Well under way when he entered, and
as be came in be brought with him a
BUddcn c<>id blast of wind. The first
flakes of the coining storm sparkled on
bis bearskin coat.
"You bad better close early, Mr. Ihn
ery," he whispered to the master as
he passed to a seat. "There is going
to be a heavy gale."
But It Is bard to break up a merry
party of young people. 'The line snow
sifted down about the sehoolhouse and
packed hard over the door stone. Had
they been without they would have
heard now and then the snapping of
the overladen branches of the forest
trees behind tl i building. The school
house stood upon the verge of a wood.
By the tint" tho session broke up
the wind had risen and was moaning
angrily through the forest. It swept
the snow fiercely into their faces as
they breasted It too. It was astonish
ing how much had already fallen.
Everybody but Phil and the master
hurried to get away. 'The latter lived
at the nearest farmhouse?almost with
In stone's throw of tho school?and
Phil had n question or two in algebra
he wanted explained. Although the
young fanner did not attend the regu
lar sessions of the school, he neverthe
less spent his evenings at home in
studying such books as be bad pre
viously bad no opportunity of dipping
Into.
"Come, Phil, you'd best hurry along
yourself," said Mr. Emery, going to the
door nnd receiving the full strength of
the gale in his face. "Why, it's a bliz
zard!"
"I'll see you home first," said Phil,
laughing. "Black Bob is the best horse
in a storm in the Bottoms. I shall get
home all right."
TllOV dug out the old box sleigh ami
backed the big black out of the horse
shed. The others were already on! of
sight and hearing. Phil and the mas
ter tumbled Into the sleigh, ami Black
Bob quickly drew them through the
fust drifting snow to tin; master's
abode.
"You'd better spend the night here.
Phil," said Mr. Emery.
"Nonsense!" responded the young fel
low, with a laugh.
"Well, you've a good horse ami just
the sort of it sleigh for the storm. 'The
wind will ho behind you most of the
way too. 'That light cutter of Ball's
will fare hard tonight."
The teacher's last sentence repented
Itself over and over in Phil's mind as
he drove toward home. Perhaps that
was why he turned Into the road which
passed the doctor's hotISC instead of
taking the mot'C direct route home.
Black Boi. breasted the sm>w nobly
and responded to Phil s verbal encour
agemeut without his recourse to the
whip, ami he was almost past the doc
tor's before ho knew it. lie could not
see the house the driving snow hid
that- but he recognized the big black
gum In the fence corner. Hi ami Myr
tle must have got nlong before, At
least be had not passed them on the
road.
"(let up, old boy!" said Phil. '"They'll
keep him all night, so he's in no dan
ger. If he Is, it Isn't any of our busi
ncs8."
Fifteen minutes later Black Bob sud
denl.v stopped of his own accord.
"Well, what's up now'.'" demanded
Phil In wonder. The old farm horse
whinnied loudly, ami borne to Phil's
ears lu reply faintly yet certainly was
the. whinny of another horse.
"By George, It's a horse!" cried Phi)
He stood up and listened. 'The whinny
was repeated, and added to it were the
tones of a human voice.
"It's somebody off the toad." thought
Phil. "And dollars to doughnuts It's
that fool. Ball!"
Bid as much as ho bated Hiram be
could scarcely leave him unassisted in
such a storm as this. 'The road ran
through an tin fenced prairie. It was
very easy indeed to get off tho trnck.
Phil pulled Black Bob out of the road
nnd urged him through the drifts in
the direction of the cries of distress.
The snow swirled about them In n
mighty shroud. He recognized the
' risk he took In leaving tho trail, but
what else could be do?
lie shouted as Black Bob pressed on,
but the voices in front seemed to re
cede. It was ten minutes or more ere
he enme In sight of n mistily outlined
object In the snow?a horse and cutter
half burled in the drifts.
> Phil burst out nt once. "What the
dickens did you want to run away
from me for?" he yelled. "Hey there!
Do you hear inc. Bnll? Cnn you turn
your horse around?"
But It was not Ill's voice that re
plied. Instead somebody cried, and In
a voice of almost rapture:
"Thank Cod, It Is Phil!"
Phil was otd of the sleigh nnd had
struggled through the snow to the cut
ter lu an Instant. "In heaven's name,
how came you here, Myrtle?" he gasp
ed. Hiram was h iddied upon the seat
by the girl's side, speechless from cold
nnd fright.
"Oh. Phil," she riled, "is It really
you? Can you sin c us? We went by

"I reckon you did g<> by tbo bouse!"
exclaimed Phil. "And you're a long

lowing you for i? minutes. Black Bob

"What shall we do?" demanded the
girl. "We can't turn this sloi {h around.

"What's tiux matter with ' Im?" ask
ed Phil, Pointing - ? the sile.lt Hi.
"He's half fro/ell."
"And he's got more than half of the
robes, too!" said Phil in disgust.
"He needs them more than I do,"
apologized Myrtle. "You won't leave
him here to freeze?" she added, in sud
den terror.
"That's just like a woman when sin
loves a man," thought poor l'hil. "Al

ways thinks of him first." Aloud he
said: "We're none of US going to freeze
if I can help it. Sit where you are until
I unhitch your horse. We might as
well give him a chance for his life."
When lie began to do this, however,
Hiram aroused himself.
"What are you doing. Dennett?" lie
cried, "if you let the horse loose, we're
lost!" He seized the w hip and tried to
reach l'hil w ith It The horse began to
plunge.
Phil sprang forward and caught the
whip from the other's hand. "Keep
quiet," he said Sternly, "or I'll warm
you with this lasli myself."
Hiram fell back and swore. Myrtle
Shrank away from him, hut l'hil did
not see her. He had turned his atten
tion to the restive horse again and soon
bad him fit".
"I'm afraid," he said gravely, "that
we cannot get out of hero til', it stops
allowing. I am golug to unhitch Black
Bob, ami wo will all come back into
my sleigh."
"I'm going to stay here," growled
Hiram.
"We'll do whatever you say, Phil,"
declared Myrtle.
I'liil loosened Black Boh from the
Shafts, and the two horses plunged
away Into the storm. Then, after vast
labor, lie partially cleared away a snow
bank and turned the huge, old fashion
ed highhack over. It would have shel
tered half a dozen quite comfortably.
"Come back here now," he shouted
to the couple half buried In the smaller
sleigh.
The girl struggled out, hut Hirum re
fused to move. "Stay there, then, and
be a denied fool!" l'hil exclaimed
Wrathfully, ami he half carried Myrtle
to the overhanging sleigh nud placed
her among the warm rubes.
"You will not let him stay there to
freeze to death," she whispered plead
ingly. "Make him come."
"All right." responded l'hil bitterly
and went back and drove Iliram out of
the cutter, secured all the robes and
made him Join Myrtle under the high
hack. Then the brave fellow crawled
in himself and let tho box sleigh settle
down about them, in a few minutes
they were buried by tin? driving snow.
"We must gi't Myrtle between us,"
said l'hil. "She will bo wanner there.
If this old blizzard doesn't last too
long, somebody will lie along to dig us
out tomorrow."
Ball yielded the wanner position to
the girl with a very 111 grace. The
common metal underneath the gilt was
showing very plainly. Myrtle turned
tier back upon him completely. She
and l'hil spoke together only in whis
pers.
"Dear Phil," she said, "we should
have died had you not come."
"Humph! The old highhack Is good
for something at a pinch," remarked
l'hil, with pardonable maliciousness.
"And old friends prove the most
faithful in the end," whispered the doc
tor's daughter.
l'hil simply grunted. But when, a
moment later, he found she was softly
crying, with her nose buried in ifio
collar of Ids bearskin coat, he threw
Injured pride to the winds and Just
put his arms around her. What he
said and what she said after that was
none of 11 Irani Ball's business, nor is
It any of yours. Inquisitive reader.
In the morning, when tho storm had
censed, a searching party discovered
tho horses in a little grove oIT the trail.
Where they had taken shelter, and soon
Afterward found the overturned sleigh
and the three castaways all warm and
secure. Hiram Ball left ids useless
cutter where It lay, but l'hil dug out
tho old highhack and drove? Myrtle
home In it, and when the sleighing
was good the next whiter he brought
the doctor's daughter to singing school
as his wife. , .
?There is a great deal of talk about
the necessity for some change in tho tax

The need for such a law is generally

Mr, Thomas IS quoted as follows In the
daily newspapers iu regard to the meas
ure which was introduced by him and
which is known to have tho hearty ou
dorscmont of Mr. McMahan :
When asked for some explanation of
bis bill relating to public education. Mr.
John P. Thomas, Jr, stated that the
main object of the bill is the improve
ment Ol the country schools. Ho said
that since the beginning of the last ecu
lury it had become a recognized i axim
in OVciy civilized country of the world
that expert supervision of public schools
is absolutely essential to their successful
conduct. This princip e is recognized as
a fundamental proposition by everybody
interested in education throughout this
I entire country. Mr. Thomas further said
i that Ulis principle has been recognized
as the true principle of education in
South Carolina in its cities and towns
during the past fifteen years and ever
since the establishment of special school
districts in this State A graded school
in a special school district really means
that it is a school directed and managed
by an expert, trained and educated for
I the purpose.
I Ho said that the main object of his
bill is to put Hie people in tho country
on an equal footing with tho people in
the cities and towns If expert school
supervision is absolutely necessary for
city schools and this necessity univer
Baby recognized throughout the whole
civilized world, llion why, said Mr.
ThOtttaS, is not this same intelligent su
pervision necessary for country schools?
I No ono would think lor a moment of
trying to make clolli or to manage a
bank without the supervision of persons
trained in the business of manufacturing
or banking. Vet some people seem lo
think that any person, irrespective of
ids training or attainments, is lit to direct
tho training of tho tender minds of tho
children of our State, which la admitted
to bo a work requiring a trained intelli
gence great discretion and tact and deli
eaoy of administration. It is submitted,
says Mr Thomas, that these ipia lllua
lions cannot be secured iu a school su
penntenden' where (I) tho Choice is by
popular election, (2) the tenure of ofllce
is short or uncertain, or (lij the salary is
Inadequate
The bill proposes to carry out the ob
ject in view by providing for a county
board of education, consisting of five
members, to be elected at tho general
election, two members to be elected
ovory two years, tho board to have tho
right to employ a superintendent of
schools, who must boa man ski lud in
the art and scionco of teaching and of
school management, who shall supervise
all the schools of tho county, instruct
tho teachers, counsel the trustees, and
serve as secretary of the board. The
bill leavis tho compensation of this
superintendent of schools to the county
hoard
While tho bill takes away from the
peop'S tho election of tho superintend
ent, it places in their hands the election
of Ovo additional ofllcors.
It may bo said that ono man, Whether
expert or not, could not intolligemly s 1
porviso such a la/go number of schools
as would necessarily fall undor his juris
diction. Tho answer to that objection
is, that a person specially trained in
school work In tho management of teach
ers could como nearer carrying oat tho
object in viow than a person who has
had no training in this lino.
TIlO bill does not propone to i nterf ere
with the terms of olllco of tho sovoral
county superintendents of education
until the expiration of the terms to
Which they have been elected, to wit:
1902.
Since tho favorable report by the com
mittee on public schools, Mr. Thomas is
very hopeful of the passage of the bill
when its merits are understood, al
though there is some opposition to it.
THE CHILD LABOR SUBJECT
A Memorial from the Cotton Manu
facturers of Oconee County.
The presidents of the cotton mills in
Oconee County have prepared a state
ment in regard to child labor in the
mills, wuion I as been sent to the legis
lative delegation froUl that county, and
is as follows :
Walhalla, s. c , Jan. i, 1001.
To the lion Senator liorudon, Kenro
set tatives Brown and Thompson- Gen
tlemuu: Representing, as \\c do, huge
manufacturing interests in < Icouoo Couu
ty, we deem i. our duty to lay before
you certain matters relating thereto,
which we are sure will engage your at
tention.
1. Of course the rapid growth of the
cotton mill industry in South Carolina
and in the South has limited mill extcn
s'on in New England, and as such in
vestments have been much sought after
there in the past, the change to South
ern mill building is much deprecated,
and all sorts of efforts have been, and
WO doubt not will be, attempted to
handicap our triumphal progress by un
friendly legislation under CUUUiugly de
vised pleas
?J. Very recently an agitation has been
begun at home, under humanitarian mo
tives, in regard to children in our mills,
and looking to future oducational tests
for relief from what is believed to he a
great grievance. As a matter of fact
there is not a mill manager in our State
who iloes not heartily approve of the
age limit of 12 years for work >rs in our
mills ; this would insure better help and
leave the children from U l<> Vi to go to
school and prepare themselves for the
duties of life.
:i. Legislation aimed at the inilis alone
to accomplish this result will, however,
ho fruitless unless parents can also he
reached ; our daily experience show.;
that parents in.-ist absolutely upon con
trolling their respective tatnilics, and
unle-s the Legislature can intervene and
enact a compu'sory educational Kw,
compelling parents to send their chil
dren to school, up to 12 years of age,
and affixing penalties for violating the
smic, a very serious result will swiftly
follow Qoorgia and N >rth Carolina
have no such laws; it will Inevitably
huppen that when a South Carolina mill
agrees to employ a family, but, accord
ing to the proposed new law, rejects
workers under 12 years of age, the fain
ily will quietly take the train, and in an
hour or two will be in a mill, and in a
ne ghboring Stale, where all can get
work.
4. We cannot help reminding you that
some very positive social conditions
have to be known and considered in
this complex mailer ; work m our mills
is hugely by families, not separately, as
individuals: some lake their ten-year
old children into the mil) to have them
Undor their own eyes ; others carry 'hem
there to keep them oil' "le streets and
the chances of bad company; Others from
dire necessity for Securing their share
of the family living Willi all these ao
tual conditions duly weighed the Geor
gia Legislature has recently defeated
similar legislation by the decisive vole
of more than two to one Speaking for
our mill in vestments in Oconee County,
now rapidly increasing, and as well for
the enormous investments in the Statt
at large, we take occasion to rctuaik
that it is a condition, not a humanitarian
theory you are to deal with. Hasty log
[elation, aimed only at the mills, ma)
transfer a large percentage of our work
ers to neighboring Slates that are fret
from such legislation. It will ho a sad
day for South Carolina if her industrial
progress is arrested by partial legislation
' enacted by her own sons.
As Oconee County is on Georgia's
border, with partial legislation as indi
cated, our mills Will be much exposed to
labor losses
Confiding in your conservative view
of these important ma ters, an . 1 asking
for your careful consideration of this
proposed legislation, we are very re
spectfully : Win A Courtcnay, Newry:
K K Lucas; W. K OliCSnoll, Westmin
ister: L. VV. Jordan, Soncca
Win it the American army was in
Cuba the 'sland was almost depleted ol
cattle, a vast number of animals having
been killed for food. Now the ranch
men and fanners arc busy stocking up
again, and have made heavy drafts oi
Florida, which, as a conscqtienco, has
about been stripped of its better grades
of cattle.
