NOVEL INDUSTRIAL SCHEME.
f ew .Msnufacluring Idea Developed at
Pinebiuff.
The following arfi' lp from the Washington
Times gives an account of a new 1
Industrial system to be put into operation
at Pinebiuff. N. C.. by the industrial
department of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway:
A philosthropic project on a practical
basis Is about to be put in operation
at PineblulT. N. C. The institution :s
founded upon the right of every man to
earn his own living, and the necessity ,
that exists of giving to persons weax
ened by diseasfs some employment that j
will enable them to earn their livlihoorl.
The institution is called the Fi e
liive an.I hefcre the summer is very
far along it will be tilled with
workers, who are helping themselves
an-.l are at least keeping themselves
veil employed. The building will be a
factory and a sanitarium at the same
lime. At the head of the enterprise is ;
J. T. I hit rick. Industrial Agent of the
Seaboard Air Line, a man of such
force that a story about him alone
would be interesting. The undertaking
is founded on his love for mankind,
and the Railroad is giving a good deal
in order to put upon a sound basis this
13oe Hive in which sick people can
work to the best advantage at their 1
chosen trade.
PinebluH is situated in the very heart j
of the pine woods of North Carolina J
and in the section of country which |
has been found most beneficial to all
persons suffering from lung diseases, j
It staifds among rather high moun
tains, upon a sandy sail that is tho
most healthy possible. The climate is
balmy and equable and so mild that ;
outdoor work is possible nearly ail the j
year around. The conditions are favorable
t > fruit growing, which was at
first the main intTuutry undertaken by
the colonists who have been forced 1 y
dread consumption or other pulmonary
troubles, into the woods. But when the j
L Hive is started other industries ;
wiil take the place of this one.
The Bee Hive is intended to shelter
workers at mechanics of many sjr:a
The promoter intends that every man
who has a trade shall be allowed to
work at it as much as he likes, and for j
this reason has ptit up a big building i
ami has furnished it with power. Two |
large tuibines will generate power,
which will be a public commodity. Any- j
one who can get a machine, will be al- I
lowed to set it up on the-floor of the
building, and take the power to run it. j
The structure is of wood, four stories j
high, and will accommodate a great ,
many workers. Not only does the j
builder of the house furnish the power ;
by which the invalids may run their ;
machines, but undertakes to find a
market for the product. In other words j
the sick and aillihg who come, pro- I
vided they show an anxiety to work. 1
will be able to contribute a share to
their own support, and will not be tonipletelv
dependent upon others.
Tl.e Bee Hive is only one step in the j
system of industries which llie Sea- i
board Air Line .s developing. Mr. Pat- J
rick is the commercial agent of the i
Seaboard Air Lifto Railroad and by |
good fortune happened to gain posses- |
sion of a fine tract of land in the pin" j
district, part of which he J using as
this industrial colony for con's;;mp- j
lives and people disabled by otner siow i
or chronic diseases. He began by giving
the people who came to him agricultural
work to do. and he hopes in the
end to be able to furnish any sick person
coming to him an occupation fitted
to the latter's fingers. A great
many people are sent to him every j
year from the Invalid Aid Societies al! I
over the country. Many under the j
steady occupation and fine air get well I
quickly and come away. This arrange- j
ment of the Seaboard Air Line enables j
even the poorest and sickest to seek a '
healthful climate .because they can do 1
a little something toward their o*.vn |
support.

?Two Warm Letters.
Columbia. S. C.. Special.?Guv. Meiweeney
has sent the following letter
i) Senator Tillman:
" Sir: Your letter of June 1 has been
eeeived. I have carefully noted its
ontents and the most charitable vie v
rhich I can take of it is that i". was
written in the heat of passion and
ithout due consideration. I no*c that
on say that I have 'transcended nty
nth ority' and that the Governor canot
compel a member of the Unite 1
tatc? Senate to 'hold his commission
ad exercise the functions of that ofcc*
if he chooses to surrender it, and
bat you 'decline for the present *o
ithdraw* your resignation. Had you
end carefully my letter addressed to
on and Senator McLaurin. you must
ave seen that I did not ex pi ess any
c-ire to compel a member of the l*n ?d
States Senate to hold his comir.is
ion and exercise the functions of that
uice if he chese to surrender it. My
nle purpose in returning the resigrvton
was to ask you gentlemen to conider
calmly and thoughtfully the conCim-nees
to the people of what :
id red to be a hasty act and what you
:l;nit to have oren a hasty act. an; I
onfess that I am somewhat surprised
r uio tone or your answer ro n < renest.
I consider the course which I
ook in this matter to he for the best
iterfst of the people of South Carol!a,
and I am responsible to thorn alone
)r my action and. furthermore. I sti'.i
clieve that my course has met t. e ap
roval of a majority cf -the citizens of
;e State: nor do I consider them uu
linking citizens, but men who know
n.i recognize as fully as any people on
arth the rights and duties and reoonsibilities
of citizenship and who do
ot need the services of any one to tcil
lem their duty.
"Your insinuation that I have been
mportuned' to 'await the convenience'
f any present or would-be. aspiranus
ho are not just yet ready, for various
asons, to enter the contest brought
n so unexpectedly, that for this reason
jy action has taken the direction it
as is unworthy nfa man holding tin;
igh commission which has been given
cu by the people of South Carolina
nd deserves no notice in this conneron.
However. I may say. for your
enefit. that I alon* am responsible for
iy reply, and will give account for
to course I have taken to the people
'ho have honored me and not to any
r.e individual. In this matter 1 have
one what I thought best catenated to
rnmoto t'ln rvrospnf nrncnir'tv nn 1

nd shall oont'n.ie to do so re-vi-d'oss
i" what any one may say or think of
iv course. 1 did not think that a potieal
campaign this summer .'o\ild do
ny good and arced according to my
elief. However, had the resignation}
een unconditional and unrestricted,
ly action might have been otherwise.
"With due respect to your opinion. I
link I have as high conception of the
Rice of Senator and its powers cs you
r any other citizen of thi3 State ar.d
ou must have known that the brief
iter view to which you refer meant
:iat I would simply meet the respon
bility and perform my duty under the
mditions. If you still wish to re.-itn
our commission and will send to this

ilj exercise the authority and power
estcd ia me by the people.
"Respectfully, o:c..
"W. D. McSWEENSY.
"Governor."
Tillman Protests.
Senator Tillman, protesting against
ie Governor's right to reject the i
pnatorial resignations, has withrawn
his resignation. In his letter
> Governor McSweeaey, Senator Tiiltan
says: "I have Senator Mcaurin's
communication, in which
raciously consents, at your request.
) hold on to his -. otaniission as Uni?J
States Senator and continue to

years of our national life, with

illing to occupy the despicable attude
now assumed by Senator Mc.aurin,

of one thing: that the executive

when that body meets in Decern-1
er, and hold their seats until the

V
' J
?
Legislature should act in January. Mr
chief regret is that I am forced by
your action to engage in what '.he
outside world will consider a game of
opera bouffe, by withdrawing my owa
resignation after Senator McLaurin's
undignified and puerile action, but tl.o
Dumose for which it was tendered has
been thwarted by Senator McLaurin's
precipitate acceptance of executive
advice. Bob Acres has been outdone
for once. I have ilready said I had
no motive or purpose in resigning except
to force McLaurin's and there U
nothing for me to do but accept the
