The "Blue-Back's" Enormous Sales.
Tbe sales of some modern Ameri

of which is modem, the other a

may not have been as exciting as
these novels, but as a "seller" has
surpassed them all so far as to be in
a class by itself. The history, re-"
ccntly published, of the firm w hich
printed the "Spelling Book" for a
great many years contains some in
teresting figures. The smallest num
ber sold during one year was more
than a third of million, in 1802; the
largest, more than a million and a
half, in 1866; and during the entire
thirty-five years when tho firm in
question published the books more
than thirty-one million copies were
sold. It is doubtful if any book ex

Rev. Sam, P. Jones Writes of His Trsv
els.
Lawton, Okla., Oct 28, 1903
To the Editor of The Journal:
After two months of enforced rest
and recuperation at home I find my
self at it again, taking in Oklahoma,
1 Indian Territory, etc. 1 am more
aud more astouished tit the growth
and development of this wild western
country. I wonder how this fertile
country, now so thicklv settled
could have been filled up so quickly,
as much as 1 wonder that it was
neglected so long. Almost ever
quarter section (160 ucres) is ownet
and run by a competent little farmer,
Cotton and corn do well when the
seasons ars-propitious, but Oklahoma
is a small grain country. Wheat is
the smest and most abundant crop,
Oats grow to perfection. Alfalfa is
coming into favor, and grows lux.nr
iantly. The stock business has gbne
farther west, though there are still a
great many cattle, horses, mules and
hogs in both Territories. Indians
are growing less and less in number
and in importance. He will soon go
the way of all the earth; would per-
liups have been gone before now but
for his pension. Pensioners outlive
anything mortal, except gray mules,
The survival of the fittest has not
only put the Indian out of business
in this sectiom, but will soon put
him out of existence.
This country is more aud more
settled by a sturdy, hardy, lndustn
ous people. Very few of the run
ner (those who come out aud run for
these lands) remain. They have sold
their holdings to some others and
run again somewhere else or other.
Une of the most astonishing feat
ures of this countrr is the raDld
growth of railroads. The Santa Fe,
the Hock Island, the rrisco, the M.
K. & T. railroads have vied with
each other in their efforts to stretch
out and get there first, and they
cross and recross until railroad
junctions iu Oklahoma territory are
almost as numerous as in Indiana.
The water problem is yet to be
solved in the teriitory. It's all
brackish; they call it "gip water." It
must be hard on the stomach and
kidnejis. Though the people seem
well and heurtv, you see but few fat
people.
i he cotton crop is very short out
here. Corn is better than for the
past three years, perhaps. Wheat
was abundant in yield this year, so
it was last vear.
Tho Hearst congressional special
train cut quite a swath out here a
few days ago. Oklahoma wants
statehood badly, aud one state made
of both territories, with Oklahoma.
viiy as tne capiiai. unisxy is
abundunt in Oklahoma, and contra
band in Indian teriitory. Though
some say it's about as plentiful in
one as iu the other. But it's the
fellow who is for liquor who talks
that way every pop.
.Lawtou, Ukla., is a great town of
8,000 inhabitants. It has sprung
up here a mushroom. It is two
years old. Eighteen mouths ago it
had a fourth-class postoffice, and it
never had a third-class one; it lump
ed into the second-class, with its let
ter carriers and fiee delivery system,
and a $2,400 salary for the " post
master. Lawton is the magic city of the
west and that gives one some idea
how they grow out here. Lumber,
brick and all building material is
high out here and that accounts for
the numberless "shacks" as they
call themln the way of temporary
stores and dwellings. The farm
houses are very small and stables
roor in most instances. 1 he climate
is about as the cliuiate of Atlanta.
But wind blows all the year around,
sometimes cold aud sometimes hot
They have Hoods unJ droughts out
here that would frighten our people
and stampede them. But things
move on aud -they get rich iu spite
of short crops, droughts aud wind,
aud seem to think they have the
greatest country iu the world.
The territories remind one much
of Texas, twenty years ago, when
she was in the crude state.
When Oklahoma aud Indian Ter
ritories shall be made into a state
and a wise administration of her af
fairs shall regulate railroad rates
and commerce it will some day be
one of the leading statesof the great
union. Uotton, corn, wheat, oats,
alfalfa, potatoes, melons, peaches,
apples, larar com, and all the
smaller fruits ano vegetables grow
in this territory in great abundance.
They have timber and coal a plenty
in the Indian Territory and some in
Oklahoma, and the foundations are
already laid for great wealth.
If 1 were a young man without
means or with but limited means,
and no special training for the af
fairs of life 1 would come out here.
But if I had a home aud a family in
Georgia I would stay there. Pluck
and energy give about as good re
turns in Georgia as in Oklahoma.
Wages are higher here but everything
else is higher, and what a fellow
makes extra here in dancing be loses
in turning around.
A lazy fellow will do well here,
fur he will soon be so louesomo that
be will go to work rather than gang
bv himself.
I came west via St. Louis' aud I
found with much pleasure that Folk
is gaining ground every day. His
speech last Saturday at St. Joseph s
was immense as was also his crowd,
and their enthusiasm. The dirty
old politicians of Missouri are al
ready running for cover, and well
they may. Hon. Joseph Folk is
death on corruption and a terror to
rascals, but with the masses of Mis
souri his name is the symonym of
goou government and a guarantee ot
honesty. All eyes are turned
i towards Folk and he will be the
next governor of Missouri.
They are having it warm just now
in Kentucky and'Ohio. Two giants
are wrestling in Ohio and the fur iB
flying iu good shape. In Kentucky
they nave no giants there any more
except the democratic machine,
That's a big thing. A machine is
bigger than the people when it can
put men in office who were defeated
at the polls and keen a fellow on
who was elected at the polls.
I suppose Beckham will be elected
whether he is or not. He is a small
fellow and it don't take much to
elect him. He is even small for hie
age.
1 he elections of next week may
mean something in the next national
election. Mr. Cleveland is growing
in popular favor every day as
candidate. If Mr. Bryan would
hush I see some little hope for the
Democrats, but if he won t hush,
the Democrats just as well shut up
snop until uryau dies.
Yours truly.

Southern Factory Girls.
"What the Factory Has Done for
Women Workers" is a very interest
ing article by Hon Carroll D. Wright
the Uctober number of the
LadicB' Home Journal. Mr. Wright
says that his first school teacher was
a weaver in one of the Lowell, Mass.,
cotton factories, who taught the,
short summer term of public school
She was a remarkable woman, "the
contemporary in the factory,'' saysl
Air. v right, "oi LiW.j Jjaicom, the
poet; of Harriet F. Ciutis, one the
reformatory spirits of ber day, and
the organizer of the first known wo
man's club; of Harriet Jane Hansen
(now Mrs. Harriet H. Robinson),
author of "New Pandora" and "Loom
and Spindle," and of others who
made for themselves names m the
great world of letters and philan
thropy.
This woman by her factory earn
ings sent a brother through college,
supported an insane mother, and at
her death left $2,500 to establish a
freo library in her native town. In
her day and m ber town, however,
factory labor seemed to have reached
its high wuter murk. The null girls
of Lowell published a magaziue,"The
Liowelf Offering," which attracted
the attention of the literary men of
that day tho 30s and the 40s. Chas.
Dickens was notably impressed with
it, and of the few complimentary
things that ho said about this coun
try in bis "American Notes" was his
tnbute to the girls who published
this periodical. The Lowe" OrToriLcr
was quoted far aud witk' to snow tnat
there might be "mind among the
Spindles." It is little wonder, there
fore, insists Mr. Wright, that he
grew to manhood with the feeling
that there was nothing in the life ot
a factory operative that detracted in
uuy seusc from chuiacter -f a noble
womau. This very bit of history
shows the posibility before the
factory girls, and The Chronicle
wishes that it might be related to all
the mill girls of the South. It would
set before them a high ideal. The
girls that published this Magazine
were gathered from the farms ana
homes of New England, and had re
ceived a common school education,
while some of them had attended
academies. The girls that go into
our Southern mills today are also
largely from the homes and farms of
the South, but they have not received
such educational advantages as their
Aew England fellow-craftswomen of
olden day mentioned had enjoyed.
Education jj) the South, however, is
making rapid strides. The girls that
are receiving it are just as capable as
those ot Massachusetts were then.
They have keen minds and strong,
healthy bodies. 1 hey are descended
from the early settlers of the South,
and have in their veins the good
blood of the Scotch-Irish, and the
Anglo-Saxon. They may have suf
fered through the proverty of their
pareuts for some generations past but
they have great possibilities within
them and great opportunities ahead
of them. Charlotte Chronicle.

I once knew a jolly maiden lady
of a certain age, und no idler was
she iu the world s vineyards, but
sturdy supporter of herself and her
widowed mother and family of
younger children. This feminine
family pillar was wont to give a cer
tain reply when the ancient question
"Why do yon not marry.' ' was put
to ber by elderly busybodies. There
are always people obtuse and stupid
enough to propound this silly conun
drum. The answer ot my Heroine
invariably was, "I am determined not
to marry until 1 can support a hus
band in the style to which he has
been accustomed." August Woman
JIM YOUNG PROPHESIES.
Yesterday afternoon James II.
Young, a prominent negro of Ruleigh
and North Carolina, wired Theodore
Roosevelt the following:
"The President, Washington, D. C:
"The glorious results in the North

presage your triumphant election next
year.
"I congratulate you.
"JAMES H. YOUNG.
"Raleigh, N. C. Nov. 4, 1903."
Today he received a reply from
the telegram, which reads as follows:
"White House, Washington,
November 4, 1903.

"Very truly yours,
"WM. LOEB, JR.,

Some People Will Burn.
A little girl 14 years old, who
looked not over ten years old ran
away from her father James Smith
in Reidsville, the other day. She got j
to Greensboro and was taken home, i
We give her story below and after
that there ought to be a place ot lire
and brimstone to burn some people.
The little gwl told a pitiful story,
We give in full:
"I was treated so bad ut home so
long I could not stand it no longer,"
said she. "My father's name is Jim
Smith. He will not work, and be
drinks, aud he often abuses us ter
ribly when he needs more money
than we can make. It was not so
hard a year ago when my little
brother, 12 years old, was at home
working, but he was treated so bad,
he run awav find went to work in a
cotton mill in Danville, and ever
since then, my little sister and me,
she is 8 years old, have hud to sup
port pap by ourselves, aud we can't
half do it We work in the cotton
mill there and he gets all our wages.
My mother died when I was 8 years
old. She was mighty good to me
but she died. Then I was made to
work iu the cotton mill and I have
been working there for six years, and
never had auythiug, and never suw
any chance to get anything but cruel
ty, aud 1 made up my mind to mn
away and work somewhere in peace.
My little brotner was gone, and it
was too hard for me at home, and he
would help me to leave, 0111 ne
idn't
I had a good friend 111 Wilming
ton, who used to work iu the mill ut
Reidsville, aud 1 wrote to her 1 want
ed to get to work there, and she sent
me enough money to pay my way.
So I left home aud come to Greens
boro yesterday, and at the depot I
took a train they said was going to
Wilmingtou, and when the conductor
took my ticket he said it was the
wrong train; I would have to pay to
Gibsonville and then come back to
Greensboro. So I hud to do it. Aud
it left me without enough money to
stay here till today or to pay my way
to Wilmington, and so I heard I
could get work at the cigar mill and
nt there soon this moining, and
they gave me a job, and I was hop
ing to save enough money to get to
Wilniiiifrton to Mrs. Ragan in a week
or two, with what I already had, and
now tbe oflicer has got me, ana 1
have got to go back to lteiusville. 1
hated to leave my little sister, and I
will be glad to see her again, but
lust know 1 am going to ue nearly
kilt when pap gets a god chance at
me, and I wish sometimes I was dead
and gone."
Editor London on Watts Law.
At Yadkin court, last week, four
men were convicted of violating the
Watts law and were sentenced to the
roads for terms varying from four to
ten months. The papers have been
publishing that whieR'ev distilleries
were being operated in Yadkin and
some other counties in open violation
of the Watts law, and that the offi
cers of those counties were afraid to
execute the law. The conviction
and punishment of these Yadkin
"moonshiners" will open the eyes of
some people and may convince them
that the W atts law will be rigidly
enforced. If this does not convince
them, they will be convinced when
they see other violators of this law
sentenced to a similar pnuishment
Persons who think that the Watts
law is, or will be, a dead letter on
on our statute book will find out
that they are awfully mistaken. The
temperance advocates in every county
in this State are determined that this
law shall be enforced, and if any man
doubt this we dare him to violate it
