OPTIMISM IN THE PIEDMONT
The News and Courier quoted recently
from the Spartanburg Herald
the opinion of that newspaper that
Spartanburg is entering the fail with
scarcely a vestige of depression in
business left." In Greenville the same
spirit of optimism appears to prevail.
At a luncheon in Greenville on Saturday,
at which addresses were made by
a number of leading mill men and
textile leaders of the Piedmont country,
sentiment was general that the
tide has turned in the direction of
prosperity and that the worst of the
business depression is over.
Mr. B. E. Geer, president of the
Judson mills and the American Bank
of Greenville, gave it as his belief
that "by January 1 all legitimate
business will be on a profitable basis?not
the phenomenal earnings ex-i
s ? -
iciiccu uuiiii^ tiir vvni aii(t up iu
eighteen months ago, but a fair earning
in the textile industry." Speaking
of^the cotton mill situation in particular
Mr. Geer said: "I believe that
by the 1st of January every mill executive
will be able to tell his stockholders
that he is making a fair profit
and paying a fair dividend on the
capital invested."

one for white people, one
tor-Monaghan mill, and Mr. T. M.
Norris of the Norris mill, told of 2000
orders following immediately upon an
advance in the price of cottjn goods
corresponding with the advance on
the cotton markets. Mr. J. E. Sirrine
of Greenville, one of the leading mill
architects in the county, .-aid that
on a recent tnp to New York the
president of the National Association
of Cotton Manufacturers gave him
prices which showed the cost of production
of print cloth in the North
to be I"00 per cent, higner than it is
around Greenville. Mr. Sirrine spoke
of the admirable spirit which exists
between workers and the management
in the mills of the Piedmont section
and declared that .in his opinion
"the day of expansion in New England
has passed," that is to say, the
future growth of the cotton mill industry,
in Mr. Sirrine's judgment
will be in the South.
We do not think that there can be
any doubt that the'position of the
cotton mill industry in the South has
undergone a most remarkable im
provement as a Result of the changes
brought about during the war period.
The cotton mills are th?^ backbone of
the Piedmont, they are firmly cn their
feet today, with a great future ahead
of them, and as conditions generally
improve they can scarcely fail to enjoy
an expanding prosperity,the benefits
of which will be reflected far and
wide in the Piedmont and beyond.?

word. But it didn't matter. John K.
Dale understood perfectly.
Then he took his arm away, faced to
the right, and drew his hat rim low
ever his eyes. For two minutes he
tood there and looked for the little old
cabin down near the foot of the north
end of the mountain, and he failed te
find It. His mind had gone back once
more to that woeful night that had cut
his life in twain. He remembered
plainly waking In the early morning
wiui id acmng neaa ana witn tne
rankling taste of much dead whisky
In hia mouth. Reqiemttyered seeing David
Iforeland, with a bullet bola
through and through him, lying on tl^e
floor beside him. Remembered his
herror, his smothered cries of anguish, .
and his hurried flight. . , .
He had wondered, he remembered,
why the law made no attempt to track
him down. He had not known that the
mountaineer's code of honor demands
that the mountaineer himself collect
that which la due him.
. "Tell me," he said in tones so low
1 that Kllzabeth barely heard, "where Is
1 David Moreland burled?"
He had turned, and stood facing her.
She pointed to the southward.
: .j.'They burled him out the crest o*
the mountain a little ways, on the
highest place, by the side of his
wife. That was always a touchln'
thing to me, that he buried his wife on
the very highest point of his own
mountain. ion Knew wny, don't you?
David Moreland believed In God and a
hereafter, and he believed that heaven
was up. ' He wanted to get even his
wife's ashes as close to heaven as he
eould." ->
"I?I'd like to go out there," John
Dale said, his voice almost a whisper.
"I'd like to see the place."
"I wouldn't," replied Ben Littleford's
daughter. For she knew?oh,
she knew.
r VYflS, yes, my dear?I must see the
plaqe," declared John K. Dale, hoarsely
whispering?"let's go out there."
. There was never any disobeying htm
when he was determined, and he was
determined now. It is strange, that
dread human thing that drew him? x
Elizabeth turned and started out
the snowy crest of the mountain, wending
her way here and there between
clumps of snow-heavy laurel and Ivy
and under snow-heavy pines. Aftcg* a
quarter of an hour of this somewhat
difficult traveling, the two drew up before
a small inclosure made of reund
oaken posts and round open railings
and hand-split and pointed oaken palings
? high as a roan's shoulders all
of which were gray and weatherbeaten.
Elizabeth knew the spot well. She
swung the gate stiffly open on It* wooden
hinges and stepped Inside. Old Dale,
trembling In every fiber, followed her.
His face was very, vfery pale.
Before them were two snow-covered
mounds bordered with the dead stalks
of flowers of another year?marigolds,
pretty-by-nlgbts, zinnias. Near the
two graves there grew bare-branched
wild honeysuckle and redbud, and j
green-leaved laurel, which in the sum- j
raer not w?rt coywot with beautiful
and fragrant Alossoms of golden yellow,
royal purple, and waxen whit*. At
the head of one mound a great, roughly-shaped
slab of brown sandstone
marked the last resting place of David
Moreland's young tvlfe; It had been
loitered by David Moreland hlmaelt
ana tt was a rrude but sincere tribute
to womankind.
On the faco of the other greet slab
of brown sandstone were chiseled other
111-ah aped letters and misspelled
words. The bands of John Moreland
bad done this. Old John Dale stopped
unsteadily closer and road:

ap to mo tho giant figure of John
fclorol&ad, whom fooo woo white and
whose eyes wore filled with the fire of
note end anger, who held a rifle in his
cold, hare hands. The rifle's hamnftkr
came back, and the fine trigger caught
It with a faint click.
Moreland took another step forward
ind leveled the weapon across the
palings.
"Ef it was any ose fe* ye to pray,
arlyle," he said, and his voice was
ihaklng and hoarse and choked, 'Td
ye time. Bat It ain't no use at all.
Look up. Face It. Try to be a man fo*
>ne second in yore lew-down life." ,
Old Dale raided his bead, saw David
Moreland's brother, and realized al)
there was bo realize. His eyes widened
a little; then a look of relief flitted
across his heavy countenance.
"Shoot and even up the score," he
said bravely, and his head was hlgL..
"According to your code, it Is Jqst. And
frl be able to forget at last, at last. So
hoot and settle the account"
Moreland winced perceptibly. The
big, crooked finger/came way from the
hair-fine trigger. He hgd never expected
to hear the man whom he knew as
John K. Carlyle say that which he had
Just said. It had never entered his
mind that John K. Carlyle could be

revenge rushed Into his brain again,
and his head went down, and his keen
right eye looked along the sights and
to the kneeling man's breast His trigger
finger began ?lowly to crook?
Until thlB instant Elizabeth Littleford
had been as one frozen, had been
as a figure carved in stone. Now she
sprang to her feet and went between
Moreland and his ancient enemy. (
"fut 'at gun down?wait ontel I telj.
ye, John Moreland, what I've got to tell

old dialect in her excitement While
Moreland stared, she went on:

She caught' her breath again and
continued tearfully; "Oh, he don't

you're too good a man to kill him.
He's dons v&id?you don't know, like

The big mounta'neer's eyes were
wide with amazement, for Elizabeth
Llttleford's every word had bofne the
ring of truth. He was too dazed to
understand her allusion to Hill Dale
as his oid enemy's son. The rifle came
back from across the palings, and its
Steel-shod butt fonnd a place In the
anow beside John Moreland's foot.
Slowly John K. Dale arose and
drew close to him, and then from
John K. Dale's soul came pouring the
pent-up anguish of remorse that had
seared it through the years. The torrent
of words flowed on, while the
mountaineer stood rigidly regarding
him with a strange light in his piercing
eyes.
"I can't ask you to forgive see,"
Dale finished brokenly. "I don't expect
forgiveness; my crime was too
arrest. But can't von. for the ?nk*
the boy, let me keep on trying to
atone for my sin?"
John Moreland looked long and
searchlngly into the face of the pleading
man before him. s The bitter
truggle that was going on within him
waa mirrored on bis rugged countenance.
But gradually the bttterneaa
faded; his huge frame trembled; be

Night had fallen when they reached
Ben Llttleford's cabin heme. The girl
was welcomed with much Joy; old
Dale was received With almost affectionate
cordiality. rearing dire was ,
soon going In the bc?t room, and old
Dale was given the cosiest of the
sheepskin-lifted rockers. Ben Littleford,
washed scrupulously clean of
coal smut, sat near the guest of honor.
John Moreland, who was so thoughtful
that he seemed to hear and see
nothing, sat close to Ben Llttleford.
Suddenly Dale looked toward his
host and asked: "Where Is mv snnt" '
At that moment Dale the younger.
In boots and corduroys, appeared '.a
the outer roorway and answered (or >
himself:
"Here he Is, father. Are you well?"
Dale the elder arose, and their
hands clasped warmly. Young Dale
then shook hands with Elizabeth, who
blushed in spite of herself as she
faced htm. -?
To hide her- confusion, Elisabeth
turned to the tall and lanky Hy Heck,
who had come In behind Bill Dale.
"How are you, By?" she greeted
him.
"Hongry," grinned By Heck, taking
her hand awkwardly. "I never e't
nothln* but a couple o' baked 'possums
and a peck or two o' sweet 'taters fo'
dinner, and I've been as busy as the
dev?as thunder a'doln' nothln' ever

me hongry, M-M-M-Mlss Babe."
h Supper was announced, and they
went Into a long, log-walled room that
served as botjt kitchen and dining
room.
Bill Dale sat beside his father and
talked of nothing but coal veins?big

Dale bade them all good night aud

night. ?...
A little later, John Moreland drew
old Be* out to the cabin yard. The
skies were clear, and the moon waa
shining brightly; everywhere there
was beauty and peacefulness.
"Ben," softly, "I've got to bother ye
a minute, as lath as It Is. .1 wanted ye
to And me a hammer and a chisel and
a lantern."
"I've got 'em all three right thar

When the work was finished David
Moreland's brother arose from hie

and the chisel Into his pocket, and
spread open his cold, cramped fingers.
"Kf David could know," he said
wearily, "I believe he'd be glad 'at
I done It. Anyway, It makes me feel
better."
Ben Llttleford nut ??-*?
John Morelttnd's shoulder.
"Yes," he agreed, "ef David could

it, Johi\. The' hain't no doubt o' that.

Elisabeth learned ef It early on the
following morning. When brealcfaat
was over, she whispered to John K.
Dale thkt there was .something she
had to show Mm. Hhe wouldn't tell
him anything In advance. So he went
with her to see for Mmself.
When at last they stood Inside the
weatherbeaten palings, Elizabeth
pointed and said:
"Look there, and thank God!"
Dale looked and saw. The color left
his face, then came back. Be shut his
eyes, swayed a little on his feet, opened
his eyes, looked and saw again.
He turned to the ytamg woman with
a great Joy shining on his face.
"1 haven't been so glad," he told
her, "for twenty-flve years."
