they were thin, when we paid ten
cent each for fried cackea, of which
j it would take six or ten to make a
"V
cup of coffee. It was almost ini-
possible to get vieal at the hotel,
for they had nothing to feed people'
on, n"t having made preparation for
so many. It was no use-trying to
sleep away starvation, so we did us
the others got up and made the best
of what we could get, and pretended
to enjoy circumstances. But my; it
was a miserable day. The ground
was covered with snow and wc could
not go anywhere. In fact we had
seen all that was to be seen there.
Later in the day, lady Tuttlo ami 1
decided we would hunt up the
Indian village, which was nearby.
With seven or eight friends, we
started off through snow and rain
for the search. The first hut we
found looked exactly like a potato
hill. Tho foundation was of tree
limbs run up to a point in the centre
I guess you would cull it the fram
ing. I am sure I do not know any
way, this was covered over with
broomsage and earth. The door was
made of t-vo wide planks. Nearby
tied to a tie, was a fery thin horse.
An Indian's norse is not at home in
a stable. No onewus at home here,
so we started in search of another as
a rule they live far apart and have
no roads except a nairow trail
through the woods. There were
trails leading in every direction. We
traced and retraced our steps, before
we found another hut. The second
one was not so well built as the first
and all opened at one side it was oc
cupied bv a family of nine. They
sitting in a semi-circle (their feet ex
tending from under the shelter) eat
ing their supper, which consisted of
bread, meat and coffee. A sack
spiead on the ground, served us a
table, an old tin can for a coffee pot I
and a tin cup to dip it with. All I
drank fiom this cup. They did not
ask us to eat with them, nor did
they stop eating. They ate on as
though no one was about. The old
Indian talked finite a lot but the I
sipiaw and sons would only grin and I
shake their heads. It was quite late I
when we eot back to the canon. Our I
train conductor greeted us with a ,
promise, to get us away before the i
next morning. We retired expect
ing to wake up in a new place, but '
to our disappointment' wc epened I
our eyes, the next morning ut the
Grand Canon. Things were not j
seen lint; very grand by this time. O!
I was so hungry for a good square
meal. Karly iu the day learned that '
we could not get away under eight
or ten hours. There was more at
traction ut the Indiun huts for Miss
1'uttle and mo than unv place else,
so wc went ugain hoping to Sue the
siiuw cook dinner, and sure we did.
She cooked the meat, dirt and all
together, on a tire built out from the
hut. They cure their meat ny nang
ing it in the trees to dry.
About four o'clock in the after
noon, onr train pulled out. Well;
you never saw such a happy crowd
of folks in your life. Going some
where to get something to eat. We
got supper about ten o'clock, at
Williunis, An, utter which we gave
impronilu concerts, (wc had one every
night) The quartette, comported of
four ministers, sang Mie.- Tuttle
read some selections from "Uncle
Ueinus" then every one was required
to tell a story. The party that fail
ed to do this, soon retired. My; I
nearly racked my brain, for some
thing to tell. By the eighth night I
had told every joke l had ever heard.
Nearly every member of the party
U8 or had been a school teacher, so
we had something iu common , to
talk about. You had better never
ask any of them what "tales" I told
out of school. By the next morning
we are well into the great American
desert.no mountains to climb, no
canons and rivers to cross, nothing
but sunbaked plains as far as wc can
Here we saw the mirage (an
optical illusion presenting an image
of water in the deserts) once we saw
a most perfect one. It looked just
like a lake of clear water, but when
we reached the spot, there was
nothing there but sunbakeil sand.
Once I leaned out from tho steps of
the coach to look in front of the
engine. 1 could scarcely ocneve my
eyes. It seemed as mougn we were
nluntrinir ncht into the nugnty sea.
There was no wattr in lifty miles of
us, or perhaps further away than
that. ' We were traveling then at the
rate of sixty-live miles au houi. There
is one thine I must tell you right
now, before it ! crowded out of my
mind. In this country, oil is used
on tho trains, instead of coal and the
streets of tho towns in Arizona and
California are kept lamp with a cer-
taiu kind of oil, I did not learu the
name eiveu it. Well, I will jump
aloug to Needles, Cal. It is a thriv
ing little town, in a fertile spot of
the desert. Uere we stoppeu ior
breakfast, and when we got off the
train about fifteen Indian women,
gayly dressed and carrying beautiful
strings of beads were standing there
crying, "two bits," "four bits" and
two dollars!" Two bits is equal to
twenty-five cents. While Miss Tuttle
and 1 were purchasing gome of this
finery our folks left us. Of course
we went in an opposite direction of
or friends. We spied a restaurant,
across the way and went bounding
over, we had not yet had our square
meal. It proved to be a Chinese eat
ing house. Had f on been a mouse
in the earner, yon would have laugh
ed at us I know. We rotild not
nnilnis'Aiul'a word the waiters said
nd they could not understand us.
Guest they knew by our looks that
we needed square meal, to they
brought ut aa excellent breakfeast,
which we enjoyed hugely.
By ten-thirty, at night we had

RALEIGH LETTER.
The SI. Louis Convention. Will There
be i Joint Canvas Between Glenn
and Harris? Reform ol Loose
Divorce Laws. Good
News for Legisla- ,
lure.
The North Carolina tlelegalcs to
the Democratic National convention
urrived in St Louis today (Monday)
having left the State Saturday after
noon, hut just how they will "vote on
the nomination of a candidate for
President cannot be accurately pre
dicted. The contention opens Wednesday
and will be in session at least three
days, uud it may he Satuulay before
it completes its woik. Interest iu
tho outcome is intense here, and
doubtless it is widely ami largely
shared throughout North Carolina,
us it is throughout the country. For
there is a strong and genuine belief
thut it it ucts wisely the nominee of
this convention will he the next Pres
ident of the United States.
One of the most interesting
features of the situation is the fear,
to which prominent Republicans
give expression, that G rover Cleve-
laiid may be the nominee. I here is
unquestionably a grounded belief
held by the enemy that, in that case,
iioosevelt would he defeated. 1 hey
say they do not fear any other man
we could put up. lint Democrats
believe that Gorman or Parker could
defeat him, also the prospects of
tho- latter largely deteiulmg, ot
course, upon the healing of parry
diffeiences in the State of New York.
Senator Simmons, although not a
lelegate, is attending the convention.
He is favorable to Parker, ulthougli
originally u Gorman man, uud if the
tormer does not pluck the persim
mon he would probably be iHad t i
see the great Marvlander nominated.
There is some curiosity manifested
ver the question of whether Tanner
Harris, the Republican candidate for
;oernor, would he willing to can
vass the Stale iu joii.t debate with
Mr Glenn, lint the chances would
seem to be against it. Mr Ilarn.i
probably has enough sense and judg
ment to keep out of such :i scrape as
that. So the prospects of uu excit
ing campaign are not favorable.
It is probable that those who are
taking iui interest in the proposition
to "reform" oui existing "loose di
vorce laws," and especially to refuse
the abandonment feature, will llguie
xtensivelv in the nominating county
conventions when tile selection of
islalive candidates is taken up.
There was a hot tight in eacli of the
two last legislatures over this subject,
and those opposed toallowingdivorce
iibanilonmetit say they expect to win
next time. Many will light to re
peal all the amendments since the
Adoption of the Lode ot lJ, anil
thus leave the Scriptural one as the
ly legal ground tor divorce iu
North Carolina.
There urea number of important
matters which- the next General As
sembly will be called upon to deal
with and it behooves us to place
strong and good men on the legisla
tive ticket in every etniutv this year.
There have been entirely too many
numbskulls sent to Raleigh in the
nist.
The second annual session of
Kaleinh's bur Summer School was
formally opened out at the Agricul
tural & Mechanical College this
ifli-rnoon by President Winston, ami
it promises to be the largest and
most successful one of its kind ever
held in North Carolina. It will
continue throughout the month of
lulv und visitors can come to Kaleigh
during that time for half the regular
rates on the railroads. Prof Palmer
Cobb, tif the Washington, D. C,
Columbian University, is filling the
uur of French ami iiermun.

of the Wilmington graded schools, is

Hon John Temple u raves, inc
eminent Atlanta editor, will deliver
a lecture before the Summer School
on July 12. He is reported to be
the most eloquent lecturer iu tne
South. Other addresses by eminent
men have been arranged, and the
laiiL'hter-provikin'' Polk Miller will
appear on the l'Jth instant. It is
estimated that there will be un aver
age daily at tedance of over 1,1'OU
teachers truiu all over ine niaie.
Raleiirh's municipal liquor dis
pensary has just completed the fird
half-vear of existence, ami it is the
simple truth to eay that it has prov
ed to be a much greater success than
most people anticipated, both financi
ally and morally, and if un election
should be held tomorrow on a propo-
tion to return to the saloon system
the maioritv against it would be
much greater than it was six months
ago. 1 He oltl argument. oi -iireo vi
revenue, wnicti ine neenscu oar
room advocates used (often effective
ly) in absolute prohibition campaigns,
bus bin eliminated entirely; tor tne
city and county are now both rea'i'.
itte three are four times more "reve
nue" from the profits of the dispen
Bary. But, although a great deal of
lipuor is sold and drunk, it is un
questionably true that drunkenness
public drunkenness -has- greatly
decreased. Every obs. rv.iut titiuu
of Raleigh can be safely summoned
at a witness who will testify to this
fact The police records, too, show
that the arrests for intoxication and
the commission of offenses and crimes
growing out of drunkenness, have
decreased more than half since the
Open bars were closed. At the same
time the allurements and tempta
tions which, under the saloon tys
tem, beset the pathway of the boys
aud young men have been largely re
moved, ami us a natuial consequence
the new crop of drunkaids will this
year he very mush smaller than
formerly. Iu my opinion this latter
fact furnishes the dispensary with
lis strongest argument.
1 presume that there may be
few "blind tigers" iu operutiou here,
as elsewhere under like conditions,
lint if there are they ure certainly
conducted on the deud quiet, und do
not llout tlitir offenses in the face of
the public. Llkwxam
Sketch of Robert B. Glenn.
Robert lirudnux Glenn, who was
on June 24 nominated for the next
governorship of the Old .North State,
was born ut Richmond Hill, latlkm
county, North Curolina, August 11,
lH'i-l, at the home of his maternal
gruntlfather, Captain James R Dodge
hut was reared on the "baura Town
Plantation," in Rockingham county,
the home of his great-miclo, Dr E T
Broil n ux.
His father was Chalmers Lanier
Glenn, a lawyer and soldier of dis
tinction, w ho met his death at the
battle of Boonesboro.
Captain Glenn married Miss Nina
Death-rick, of Knoxville, Tenn., u
niece of Chief Justice Deaderick,
of that state, and they have two
children, Chalmers Glenn anoflioer
of a bunk ut High Point, und Miss
Rebecca Glenn, u lovely duughter.
Captain Glenn's mother is still living
and he also has two brothers, State
Senator und ex-Adjutant General
James I) Glenn, of Greensboro N C,
and Ed mini T B Glenn, u traveling
auditor on the Central of Geoigia
railway, w hose home is at Macon, Ga.
Mr Glenn was prepared for David
son College by Miss Cornelia Skinner
now of Marietta, Ga , and Prof N S
Smith, now of leuksville, and thenec
In; studied law under Chief Justice
Richmond M Pearson, of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
.Mr Glenn has always been success
ful to u marked degree in his pro
fession, tiling recognized as having
fe.i superiors ut the bar of bis state.
Courteous, generous and able, he is
the idol of the people; he has been
solicitor, n captain in the State
guard, memln-r of bo'.h senate und
house of the slate legislature, dis
trict elector, twice elector at large,
United States district attorney under
Cleveland, and assistant division
counsel for the Southern Railway.
It was "Bob" Glenn who met and
defeateil Marion Butler, the chief
lain of populism, and it was again
'this golden-voiced son of the Dan,"
ns he has often been called bv the
North Carol ina press, on account of
ids li i ill place's contiguity to the

The Value of a Sunny Soul.
The world is too full of sadness
and sorrow, misery and sickness; it
needs more sunshine; it needs cheer
ful lives which radiate gladness; il
needs encouragers who will lift aud
not hear dow n, who will encourage,
not discourage.
M ho can estimate the value of a
sunny soul who scatters gladues.-
ind good cheer wherever he goes, in
stead of gloom and sadness? Every
body is attracted to these cheerful
faces and sunny lives, and repelled
bv the gloomy, the morose, and the
sad. Wu envy people who radiate
it w herever thev go anil lling out
gladiiiss from every pore. Money,
houses, and lands look contemptible
beside such u disposition. The abil
ity to radiate sunshine is u greater
power than beuutv, or than mere
mental accomplishnieiiU. t From

HI
SAM JONES' LETTER.
The Nomination of Roosevelt anil Fair
banks.
Along w it h the plutform, is a good
deal like the disposition of the con
test in the Blue Ridge circuit before
the Democratic executive committee,
when they Bimply passed the type
written resolutions and adjourned.
Whatever else the national Republi
can convention may do or liiuy not
do will be governed entirely, not by
their convictions or whut they may
think is good for the country, but
by whut they shall determine will
offend the trust magnates least, on
the one hand, uud gull the rank and
tile of their own party most com
pletely and pleasantly on the other
hand. To Bay the least of it, there
will be no friction nor irreconcilable
faction with the Republican party.
I wish as much could be said for the
coming Democratic convention. The
The Democrats, under the best con
dition, can only hope to defeat the
Republicans, and under condition
brought on by factions and division,
they won't be in it ut all. One fac-1
tiou is known us the sune Democrat,
the other faction must be insane, or
words to that effect. Aud sano and
insane people won't mix. In Geor
gia we send our lr.sune people to
Milledgeville, hut in national politics
there is no law or rule bv which thev
can be silenced, detained und shut
up.
And then, we prohibitionists, we
ure going to have a convention and
nominate candidates. I belong to
that crowd. I noticed with a good
deal of surpiise that Geuerul Miles
will be nominated for the presidency
on the prohibition ticket, und my
self, probably, his running mate us
vice president. That announcement
is very much like the old woman's
dream, when she said she dreamt
somebody had given her u brand new
frock, and when she woke up she
had dreamed u lie. If General Miles
is u prohibitionist ut ull 1 don't know
it. 1 never saw a man who did know
it, und 1 am sure I would not vote
for any man us a prohibitionist it he
was not u prohibitionist from snout
to tail, inside und out three hundred
and sixty-live und one-quurter days
in the year. My platform us u pro
hibitionist is short und brief, und
reads tliusly: 1 um for everything
that is against whisky, aud against
everything that is for whisky, with
the linn belief that whisky is God's
and man's worst enemy, und is the
best friend of the devil, the Demo
crats and the Republicans. As a
mutter of fact, 1 think General Miles
hud rather be nominated for the
presidency on the Democratic ticket
than on the prohibition ticket. I
have heard that lie has asked prohi
bitionists why they did not delay
their convention until ufter the Dem
entis uud Republicans hud made
their nominations.
1 have read with some interest of
the organized labor troubles ut Crip
ple Creek, Col. There you have the
union laborism gone to sesd, and 1
iee from the later report that the
citizens and employers have determ
ined absolutely to do away with union
labor, not to employ a single man,
woman or child that belongs to any
union. Labor unions dictate und
demand, then they are dogmatic,
then they ure dictatorial, and then
the thing has gone to seed. Labor
has a perfect right to quit its job;
employers have u perfect right to
discharge an employe if they sec lit,
mil right at this point the whole
thing ought to end. henever labor
iuvs I won't work und nobody else
shall, then you have anarchy with
the devil fitting on top. YV henever
capit'jl savs to u man you shan't
work for me uny longer and more
thun that, you shall not work tor
mi v other niun, men capital needs
its head wrung off. V hen either
capital or labor coes beyond an
agreement to disagree, one with the
other, then whichever does go furth
er than that goes beyond the law
and into the realm ot unurchy aud
devilment. But I keep Buying thut
we have more to fear from demagog
ues und dirty politicians than every
thing else combined.
These fraudulent elections and
he rascally candidates who violate
the law, and the dirty ollicwls who
wink at the violations of the law,
throw down the gap aud open the
gates to every species ot lawlessnes
thut rascals want to perpetrate. We
have got to begin ut the fountain
head and put pure men in office. 1
hud rather have a good man on a
bail platform than a bad man on a
good platform. I hud lather have a
pure man with no enemies to punish
and no friends to reward than to
have another class of men in office
who me bound to cliques and ma
chines on the one side and have tome
debts to pay on the other. The man
that is trving to find Bomething that
will bent "doing right or the party
that is toying to hunt up something
that will kat doing right is like the
fellow that tried to take a nigh cut
on u straight road the thing cannot
be done.
The hope of our country it not to
nint h iu the platform of partiet or
resolutions of conventions, but lt
the Hi.ple themselves rally around
the ballot box on election days and
see that upright men are put into
office from bailiff to president. What
ever is done ia done virtually by the
people, tor the people are the biggeet
thing iu this country, and whatever
they want they can "have, and what
ever they don't want they need not
have, and the eooner thit tremendout
fact it known and read of all men,
the better it will be for our country.

LETTER FROM INDIANA.
Frankfort, Ind., Juno 29, 1904.
Editor of Courier:
It was hard to leave the old home.
It ulwuys is. And yet, it was a jov
to come to the new one. For sucn
this is, most truly. Although I have
lived in Indiana almost niue years,
Frankfort is a strange place to me.
It is fifty miles northeast of Indian
apolis, about a hundred miles farther
north than Bloomingtou, our former
home. I had thought I would tell
you about the interesting things on
my trip, but, as there are but one or
two thut stand out in my memory
now, I shall full to the most present
and most engaging thing, our new
home. I know you will forgive me,
if I compromise and give you a fow
instances of the trip first. -1 will
tell you the most amusing thing that
occurred.
At Clifton Forge,. West Virginia,
about four hours from Lynchburg,
where I changed trains for Cincin
nati, I weut into the waiting reom
with some other passengers. I hadn't
a very clear understanding of ho
inn t chnnld hnva to wait for mT
tra;ni j weut and 8tood before what
looked like the ticket window, but
it was closed. I went away, and
then back. This was repeated sev
eral times. At lust the window
opened and a man's head was in
sight. I asked, "How long till I get
a train for Cincinnati?
"Nouah 'n two minutes."
I walked rrliblv back to my cripa
und got hold of them. Near them
sat an old man with his wife, oa
their way, by Cincinnati, to St Loan,
whom I had been talking with be
fore. I said to them, "We get onr
train in two minutes."
"What !" exclaimed the old man,
"why that train doesn't leave here
till nine twenty-five."
Well, I asked the ticket agent
and he said, "Now in two minutes."
"He misunderstood you, said the
old man.
I went back. "Did von misunder
stand me when I asked how long till
we get a train for Cincinnati!"
"Ao, no, madam; nouah n, well,
it's just one houah now."
"Oh, yes, an Hour sixty min
utes." And then we laughed.
The thine that was not very in
teresting, however, was that I had
expected to have tome time in Cin
cinnati, but, on transferring to anoth
er depet tho bus hai to "drive up
bit" to get me across in time. I
thought I should be left sure, and
would rather have bad no such ex
perience. I can also tell you thut I taw the
best wheat in North Carolina than I
saw at all on the way. Wheat is
not good in Indiana, the unusually
cold winter having killed it almost
all. What there is I suppose, will
be alright. It was very green last
week, lint corn, all the way, in
Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and
Indiana is looking fine. You folks .
in Carolina may be proud of your
crops, however, for they compare
well with those of other Btates.
Frankfort is a beautiful city of
about fifteen thousand. The coun
try around is level and the land is
good, selling ut a hundred and twen
ty-live dollars per acre. This does
not mean the land immediately join
ing the city, but, far out, it sella for
this price. Nearer the city it it
higher still. The look of the peo
ple thut come into the city from the
country shows that they are prosper
ous, and the look of people generally,
snow s that me standard or living, in
both city and country, is high.
W o have been met by tome ot tne
best people in Frankfort, and bidden
welcome within their gates. I think ,
we shall like exceedingly well. Of
course, this place does not come near
the heart like the old home at
Blooniington, or the dear home
umoug the hills of Carolina, nor
does it yet wear the appellation,
"home," but, if kind hearts and
good fellowship count for anything,
we shall soon be able, in our hearts,
to give it thut same, and feel that it
is good to be here.
When I have learned more about
this splendid country perhaps I may
tell you more about it.
lo all those with whom 1 met
often in Sunday school through the
spring, I send kind remembrance.
Yourt very truly,
Ida 1-nuolp Mastek.
