An old man showed me the spot at
Mt. Vlruoa where the old log school
house stood in which my father taught
school some eighty years ago. Father
need to tell ua his varied experience
therej How some bad boys bad ran
thice teachers off in succession and
broke up the schools and how reluctant
ly he undertook the work of reforming
them i He had about sixty scholars,
boys and girls, and their ages ranged
from eight to eighteen years. The old-
eat hoy was six feet tall, a sapling with
ong arms land legs, a red head and
freckled face. He was the ringleader
in running the teachers off and father
was cautioned about him. The first
day he made Inem a good, friendly
talk, told them he came to do them
good, to teach them books and morals,
ud manners, and he wanted them to
obey the rules aud help him to make
the school a success. You can t afford,
be said, to grow up without some edu
cation. No uice young man would
marry the girls, and no smart girt would
marry an uneducated boy. Now, boys,
when you come into school after di oner
want you to -come m good order.
Don't rush and crowd the doorway like
you did this morning.: .You ran lover a
lttle girl and threw her down and hurt

take your seat make a little bow to me.
flat s nice; that s good manners. I
will like that and I want all of you boys
aud Kiri? to do that. Will you do it?
f you will Dleaae bold up your hands.
All hands went up promptly except
those of Bill Jenkius, the red-headed
rebel. Sext morning he declined to
make a bow, but looked sour and de
fiant. When school turned out that
eveuing, f&tuer hwtrd him say: "l lj
be durned if I U make a bow to aoy
yankee." Next morning two other big
boys failed to bow. bill Jenkins had
worked on them. That evening father
told BH1 to stay in a little while, as he
wished to see him after school broke
up. i He stayed anI the door was shut
The other boys peeped through the
cracks between the logs to Bee and to
hear what was going on. rather talk
ed to Jenkins kindly and told him of
the bad example he was setting and so
forth, and begged him to conform to
the rules. "Now" said he, "William,
wrll you promise, to make a bow to j me
tomorrow morning?" "No, I'll - Le
durned if I do," said Jenkins, j That
settled it. The crisis that father had
dreaded had come. He got between
Jenkins and the door and said- firmly:
Well, sir, you have got to do one of
three things You have got to bow, or
quit school, or take a whipping. Which
will you do? "I'll be gol durned it I'll
do airv one," said Bill. Father s hick-
orv was wit in hia reach between two
logs. He seized it and began on Jen
kins with stinging strokes and Jenkins
made for him' with long arms, and
used cuss words - abundant. They
fought like wild cats, turned over ben
chee, broke the water bucket and for
tfen minutes the con met raged, ior iatn-
er was stout and was-.in the right and
kept the hickory going and feuded off
the Btrokes of Bill's long arms. After
a while they clinched and father got
him down between two puncheon seats
and 'pummelled him good. He hollered
enough and to let him up, and after
they got their breath father 6aid : ' Aow,
Jenkins.! what will you do." He blub
bered out: "l m gwine home and slay
there'. 1 11 be gol durned, if I'm gwine
to school to jouany more." "Well,
why didn't you say that at first and
save tbe.whipping?'' said father, j AH
thiaj time there were . a hundred eyes
peeping thro igh the cracks between the
logs,, but not a word wa3said. Jenains
never came back and the crisis was
over, i l! rom mat time on ior two years
there was a good, orderly school and
mv father's reputation was made; The
tankee had whipped Bill Jenkins and
that settled him in the favor of hi pat
rons.
I wjsh everybody could visit the little
village pf Lbngpond. j It 13 in thecoun
try, eight miles from Mt. Vernon, and
eit?ht miles from a railroad. 1 never
was iii k better setteraent pf farming
oeopleLlbi sinike there in the day time
and those country people came from far
and near and spread before us the huest
picnic dinner I ever saw. It is a Scotch
settlement, and their faihera and grand
fathers all came from Robeson county
in North Carolina, i At least three
f mirths of the names beein with the
prefix of Mc, I made a memorandum
of the many Mea I was introduced to
all different such as t McArthur, Mc-
Rael McAlhster, McLuug, ; McNair,
McLauhh. McLemore McUuffie, Mc
Duffie,iMeC4nuel, McDonald, . McDtr-
iel and "forth. There were thirty
vH.n rf iliem aud many of these had
sons and brothers and
same name, aud so it
thing every where. If
kindred of, the
was, Mc some
a man's name
begins with Mc in that
region it is
triiarantpfi of wood stock. It is a fine
farming region and these people are al
most all farmers. -I never saw finer
corn or cotton in upper Georgia. The
womenj matrous and maidens were all
well arid peatly dressed and were good
looking, good size and healthy. They
could handle their skirts as gracefully
as a city lady and as my old friend Bill
Rainey usedto say, "Major, these wom
en are well coupled and stand up square
on their) paster joints.", Rainey bad
dealt in) horses for fifty years and talked
horse talk about women and everything
e'se. He was a genuine David Haruai.
I hive most pleasing recollections of
Longpond and its people,
My next call was to : Hagan-Claxton,
a double town ouly three miles apart,
but whose people work" in harmony
and haye a very fine high school and
school buildiDg called the Hagan-Claxton
institute, that is just midway between
them and is sustained, by both. The
teachers' conventioa was in
there about a hundred teachers form
latin II and other counties and I say ;
truth folly I never looked npon more
tnoughUul, lnttlligeDt and earnest body ,
or teachers, both
men and women.
By request I made some fatherly
remark to them and then had to
stand up and receive a hearty hand-,
hake from every one. That night I
gave my lecture) "Behind the Scenes.

good people from the twin ' towos and

The standard of teaching is raising higher
m . this region. The county school
commissioners j : are good scholars,
graduates of our colleges, and they are
exacting in their examinations. Nine
teen applicants were rejected recently
in one county. ( This is an interesting
region and farming is eapy and
prosperous. The long staple cotton is
grown here. I did no know until now
that the bloom was first yellow a
bright canary -f and then turned red.

harder to pick this cotton from the bolls

work. It is now 20 cents a pound.

most luxuriant crop I know of. But
It is the turpenitiue and lumber busi
ness that scatters money so freely in
all this region, j) I visited the Perkins
mills. They are up to date in all
respects and cut and kiln, dry- arid
dress 75,000 feet in a day, and give
employment to several hundred hands.
l ine lanus are now bringing $s tof 1U an
acre lor the timber and the owner keeps
the land after the pines are cut away.
It is right sad j to see these beautiful
forests passing tway, but this is desiiny.
While sojourning here I was the guest
of Judge Williams. I felt very much
at home; for his lovely wife aud twelve
children adorn the large, inviting
home. These children are from two to
twenty years and are well behaved,
obedient and kept their fa e .clean.
The two youoger ones began to call me
grandpa as soon as I arrived. Beauti
ful fruit abounds and I get as much of
it as I wish and
it keeps me iu good
health.
Yesterday I
visited McRae-Helena,
the twin city:
McRae is the boy and
Helena the girl, and they get along in
harmony like Winston-Salem iu North
Carolina. , There is but one college and
one of the newspapers is The Twiue-
City News, published by two of these
Scotchmen Mcintosh and Mi-Rae.
lhis is a new, lively . and progressive
town adorned with pleasant homes and
cultured peopl?. It is high dry aud
gently rolling and quite a resort .sick
and, tired people. I forgot to mention
that Hagan-Claxton, the other twin
towns have nor corporation and don't
want any. No mayor or aldermen,
no marshal or (police. . It is like Pelzer,
in South Carolina. Judge WiluamB
said why should the good people of a
town require these officials any more
than the good people in the country
If they behave they are needed and
they do behave here. I've been living
here six years and have not yet heard
of a faght or even a quarrel, and if a
blind tiger or one that wasn t blind
should come here we would strap him
over a log and run him off in two hours
This Scotch blooded stock has ramified

Harry Stillwtil Edwards author
of "Two Runaways and i Other
Stories,' ha recently brought oat a
new volume of stories, called "His De
fence and Other Stories." They are
very good stories, toeae written by Mr.
Harry Sullwell Edward. Ue'writec of
the South, and bis negro stories are a
delight. One of the shortest wen titled,
'Charley and the 'Possum."
It seems that Charley Brood tud been
arrested for larceny,; the partlcu'.ar
charge being that he had stolen a : 'pos
sum and steel trap, the property of
eter Thompson. "Charley baring de
manded that he be tried by a jcy-y. of
his peers, the Justice, with that accom
odating spirit peculiar to some tack-
woods officers, nadcalled in Bi?otAomi
gentlemen as a jury, arraigned the pris
oner, and pat the prosecutor under oath
to tell the truth the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth.",
Peter Thompson's story was that he
had set the trap, had found it missing
the next day, and had found Charley
Brood carrying a bag in which be found
his trap and a 'possum. . '
Charley came forward smilingly.
V Hit's des lake dis, Juedge," he be

This appeal to the prj'ulic--s i.f the
country negro had an immediate eif:t
upon the jury, .
'Hit sho zde tr -f, replied r in-
ga!; and his companions seeiuel to coJ
incide with him. The nrisouer c n-

"Juedge, I sorter like iKssum mer-

A flight Bbudder shook the form of
the Reverend Septimus Smith, and a
momentary sensation swayed the other
jurymen, it was as a ntue breeze wan
dering among sleepy rushes. :
" I seed dem split s weet taterarouu

. This explosion came from Fingil Cave
Scotland, who doubled up, and would
have failed out of f he chair but for the
restraining hand of his next neighbor.
The sensation was complete: the -htt.e
breeza had becomca whirlwind. I
The court administered a-ponderous
rebuke, and the witness proceeded :
" 'Hit was des dat way, juedge; an

repreaued. The J notice, put ting: oa fats

net earnings for the eleven month
ending May 31st show an increase of
$842,000, and it is believed that for

on more mileage than was operated
during the year ending June ,1899.
After deducting interest and rental a
balance is estimated of $3,323 000,
which would be equal to net earnings

Oqr Home, of Beaver Dam, begins an
editorial in its issue.of this week with
these words: "The disintegration- of
the Frnicrsr Alliance in this State
means a set b:ick to the firming classes
of at least ten year. It is doubtful if
attotner urgtn!zijion as strung as tne
Alliance can be established iu the next
ten years."- This is quite fue. There
were elements of the utmost usefulness
in the Far out's Alliance. Its written
priuciplcs were great and noble, and if
they had been lived up to, the agricul
tural in U resis r f the country would
have been greatly promoted. But the
order had scarcely been organized he
fore it fell into the hand ti politicians,
and this was the beginning i f the end.

and thentajBoihila.ti(irj. It was a gtxal

warning in these case, it wou'd be a
pleasure to see the farmers of the

their legitimate interes's, Imt the les
