Under Sealed Orders.
Out she swung from her moorings,
And over the harbor bar;
As the moon was slowly risino-
She faded from sight afar,
And we traced her gleaming canvas
iy the twinkling evening star.
None knew the port she sailed for,
A or whither her cruise would be;
lier future course was shrouded
In silence and mystery;
She was sailing under "sealed orders,"
lo be opened out at sea.
So souls, cut off from moorings,
(Jo drifting into the night.
Darkness before and around them,
ltu scarce a glimmer of light;
1 hey are acting under "sealed orders,"
And sailing by faith, not sight.
Keeping the line of duty
Through good and evil report,
1 hey shall ride the storms out safely.
Be the passage long or short;
tor the ship that carries (JcrTs orders
Shall anchor at last in port.
A Mother's Influence.
In the training of children there
is no influence more potent than that
of the mother. She is brought into
the most intimate relation with the
children at the most impressionable
period of their lives, and if she is
gentle and just the memory of the
care she took of them lasts in the
children's minds throughout their
lives. The father's authority may
be respected, but that of the mother
is most willingly accepted. Of the
lives of,most men we know little or
nothing, but of those who have so
distinguished themselves that the
smallest details of their early train
ing and experiences have been sought
out, a very large majority exhibit
traces of motherly training having
great influence upon the conduct of
the sons. The mother governs usual
ly, and properly, through the affec
tions; the father more often by force
or threats of punishment. Men are
good upon compulsion only while the
compulsion lasts or when there is
dread of exposure to punishment.
Dut men are good at all times when
they are guided by right principles
instilled in them by a loving mother.
The boy who is restrained by fear
of punishment from his father if he
should be detected in the commission
of some offense will take the chances
of detection sometimes. The boy
who thinks of his mother, and what
she would feel or say or think if he
should go wrong, runs little risk of
falling under temptation. If he
should be detected in the one case
he could stand the punishment; in
the other the sufferer would not be
himself so much as one whom he
loves. In the one case the only bond
to hold him to right living is fear of
punishment which he may brave; in
the other he has to stifle his con
science and consent to bring sorrow
to one who has nourished and cared
for him. The mere existence of af
fection between mother and child is
a safeguard in the latter case. What
would mother say ? is a query that
has saved many girls and boys from
wrong courses. They all know what
a good mother would say, and if they
sin at all they must do so in the face
of such knowledge.
A gentle, kindly, sympathetic
mother may shape the destiny of her
children. Her influence extends far
beyond the age of maturity; that of
the father terminates as a general
rule at a fixed date. It is, of course,
possible for the father to assume
with his children the relations of a
mother, but as a general rule the
father is too much occupied as the
bread-winner and in various social
duties to become the companion or
friend of his children, especially dur
ing their early years. Rightly or
wrongly the mother alone is brought
into close relations with the children
during the formative period of their
lives, and they learn to love her with
a fur different feel'ini? from that
which is inspired by the father.
The mother's iufluence becomes,
therefore, much more potent than
that of the father. He may be obey
ed as a matter of duty, but. the
mother is obeyed because she is
loved. Both have authority, but the
mother has in addition the claims of
deep affection. Hence the influence
of the mother, if wisely exercised; is
.rreater than that of the father in
the formation of character, and it is
an influence for good throughout the
life of the man who has been blessed
by an intelligent and affectionate
mother. Long after he has reached
maturity the son of a good mother
remembers her precepts, keeps her
memory as his guide, and exhibits

in nis uprigut me c mv,..i.v.. -

Bill Arp Tells of His Recent Visit to
Pelzer, S. C.
A few days ago I received a letter
from a friend and it was post-marked
Pelzer. He said 1 was wanted there
to talk to the people, and he ven
tured to fix the day and the compen
sation for the loss of time and waste
of tongue. I had never heard of
Pelzer nor could I find it on my
antiquated map. But I did find it
on one of later date, and supposed it
was some small village that had a
cotton mill and a dam on the Saluda
and some tenement houses.' Never
theless, I accepted the call, for the
offer was liberal. The next mail
brought a similar invitation from
Piedmont, another mill town, only
six miles from Pelzer.
So I journeyed from Atlanta to
Greenville, and there changed cars
for my destination, which was only
twenty miles away. It was night
when I reached the place. My good
friend, Mr. Padgett, who is the dem
ocratic postmaster, took me to his
house. I had not seen the town, for
it was quite dark. "What is the
prospect for an audience?" I inquired.
"Very good," he said. "I think you
will have several hundred people out
to hear you." "Why, how large is
your town ? What is your popula
tion?" "About 7,000," he said. I
was amazed. A town twice as large
as Cartersville and I never heard of
it and it is not on my map. He ex
plained by saying that it was only
twelve years old, and had four large
cotton mills that employed over 2,000
operatives, and consumed nearly
100,000 bales of cotton, and the com
pany owned some 3,000 acres of land,
and all the houses and stores and
churches and several miles of the
river. "Did you advertise me pret
ty well?" I asked. "Oh, yes !'' he
said. "We church folks told it to
everybody we met, both in the town
and in the county-, and they said
they were coming." "Publish it in
the papers?" said I. "No, no. We
have no papers here, and no printing
office.- We didn't even have a poster
or a hand bill, but we talked it a
good deal." !
Well, I listened and woudered, and
my confidence was shaken. After a
bountiful supper a little mixing up
with the children, we went to the
large church where I was to hold
forth, and found it already pretty
weil filled. In a brief time I stood
before more than 500 people, and
was inspired to make my best effort,
for I had an orderly and attentive
congregation, and we all fell in love
with one another. I never have had
a more gratitying lecture occasion.
Next morning was spent in viewing
the city and the mills and the library.
The merchauts carried immense
stocks in large stores, and there
were many nice residences for the
managers and heads ot the various
departments, but they were all built
and are owned and leased by the mill
company, i his company owns ana
controls every foot of land and
everything that is on it. Captain
Smythe, of Charleston, is the king,
the czar, a big-hearted, brainy man,
and everybody respects and loves
him. He is a son of that celebrated
Presbyterian minister of Charleston
who during his ministerial life, was
a notable man in religious circles.
I remember that he was one -of my
father's friends. "Who is your may
or?" said I. "We have none; no
mayor nor aldermen, no municipal
corporation, no marshal nor ponce.
Captain Smythe runs the town.
Everybody who comes here for em
ployment is investigated carefully.
His antecedents must be good or he
can't stay. We have no lawyers nor
editors; don't need any. We allow
them to come in and look around.
"Did you know that I was a lawyer?"
said I. "Oh, yes; but we learned
that you had quit the practice and
reformed, and so we invited you."
"I don't see any negroes about
here." said I. "No, we don't want
them. There are a few, but they
live outside. Some of them cook and
wash for us, but Captain Smythe
dnn't want us to mix with them or
depend upon them. He wants every
body to depend upon themselves as
much as possible." "And so you
have ruled out lawyers, editors and
negroes?" "Yes," said he, "and
there are no saloons or blind tigers
or . cigarettes." "How about doc
tors ?" I asked. "Oh, of course we
have doctors; yes, we have two doc
tors and one dentist and four preach
ers, all select, and one photogra
pher." The company has agood public
library and pays a man to keep it
I visited mill No. 4, an up-to-date
mill in all respects. It is operated
by electricity that is generated two
miles distant at some falls of the
Saluda river. This mill amazed me,
No coal and no steam. It is 128 feet
wide and 528 feet long and is four
stories high. In one great room I
saw 60,000 spiudles turning. In two
others there were 1,400 looms. It
requires 1,100 operatives to attend
to this mill, and it takes 56,000 bales
of cotton for a year's supply. Just
think of it. The superintendent, Mr.
Guy, had the elevator to stop about
half way up between floors so that I
mitrht have a good view of the ma
chinery and the busy boys and girls
in this spinning room. This room he
called his children's room; not the
children's room, but my children's
room, he said. Scores of little chaps
not more than ten years old who
looked their love for him. Tbe3' were
the brightest and healthiest children
I ever saw in a mill," and earn from
25 cents to 60 cents a day. Many of
the grown girls earn from 60 cents
to $ 1.25 a day, and the average pay
of them all is 62 cents. This is good
wages, for their work is easy and
healthy. The rooms are never too
hot or two cold; for the temperature
is kept uniform by fans and heaters
in the basement. No grease or fatty
matter is used on the machinery
nothing but pure miueral oil.
These children are required to
leave the mill at certain periods and
go to their public schools, which are
supported by the company. I visited
the school and found 300 of the
pupils gathered in the large room to
receive me and listen to a brief talk
about ray old school days and some
words of encouragement to cheer
them up. Mr. Guy, the efficient su
perintendent of mill No. 4, is an
Augusta man, and has been in the
mill service for forty-four years. In
the packing room I observed that all
the bales are marked to Shanghai,
Ch ina, and I heard that China is the
best customer of southern mills.
That government used to buy from
New England and old England, but
they buy all their good by weight
and not by the yard, and in course
of time John Bull and the yankee got
to mixing white clay with the starch
to make the cloth weigh heavy, and
so they turned their trade down
south, where people didn't adulterate
everything they make to sell. Said
Mr. Guy to me : "There is no sizing
in these goods except that made of
pure boiled corn starch."
Nearly all the capital in these
great mills is from the south; and
there's millions in them, for Pied
mont is on the same river and is only
five miles away and has two large
mills and another is going up at
Belton, a few miles below. In fact,
the traveler through upper Carolina
is hardly ever out of stent of a
smokestack. In a few years that
State will consume all the cotton
that is grown in it. What a glorious
prospect.
All around Pelzer and Piedmont
the farmers are prosperous; for they
have a regular, eager market for
everything they grow, and I saw
their wagons coming in on every
road. I visited Piedmont and sta3'ed
a day and night. It is a duplicate of
Pelzer, though not so large; having
about 5,000 people. It is most effi
ciently managed by Mr. James L.
Orr, Jr., a son of the governor and
statesman. He too, is a king and a
czar, and his word is law about
everything. He is respected and
oved by every man, woman and
child in Piedmont; and the stock
holders have nothing to do but look
on and receive their dividends semi
annually. Piedmont is more elevated
than Pelzer, and the views from her
hills are charming. And then her
flowers; oh, the beauty of them. Out
door chrysanthemums and roses were
in all their glory. Mrs. Richardson
sent my wife a box full by yesterday's
express that excelled anything that
I ever saw in a conservatory. She
gave a caution to the expressman in
these lines on the box :
"If you desire to climb the golden stair,
Handle these flowers with exceeding
care.
If you exjK'ct to play the golden harp,
Speed them with safety to Mistress Arp."
The lyceum and public library at
Piedmout is an interesting place to
visit and is liberally patronized by
the workers in the mills. Connected
with it is a home made insurance or
benefit association, a kind of savings
bank where for a deposit of ten cents
a week the family of the depositor
gets forty dollars whenever a death
occurs. This is of course to provide
for funeral expenses and a decent
burial. In this library is the finest
collection of Indian relics I ever saw
anywhere.
Fortunate people to have such
philanthropic guardians. Old Father
Pelzer does not live there, but he is
near enough to keep a fatherly eye
on these numerous children. He is
a Charleston millionaire, but lives at
his up-country home, not far from
the beautiful Mill City that he found
ed and which bears his name. Just
think of it, my Georgia friends; 60,
000 spindles turning in one room,
and 1,400 looms weaving in two
others. Why should not every cot
ton growing county in Georgia, yea,
in South Carolina, do likewise. Our
county produces ten thousand bales
annually and surely our farmers can
build a mill large enough to manu
facture it and double its value.

National Capital Matters.
From Our Regular Correspondent,
Washington. Nov, 21, 1S99.
Republican members of the House
are scrambling as eagerly as though
the big prize the Speakership had
not been awarded months ago. The
chairmanships of committees and the
patronage of the House are the
prizes for which they are now strug-
ling. Cannon and Hitt, both of
Illinois, have been assured of retain
ing their places at the head of the
Appropriation and Foreign commit
tees; consequently there is no fight
upon either of them, not because the
selections are acquiesced in but be
cause they know that fighting will
be useless. The biggest fight is over
the chairmanship of the Ways and
Means committee, which carries with
it the floor leadership of the party.
Payne, of New York, was chairman
of that committee, after the death of
Mr. Dingley, in the last House, and
he claims it again. But several
other members, including Dalzeil, of
Pennsylvania, and Hopkins, of Illi
nois, think they have equal claims,
and as Mr. Payne is not over popular
with members they are getting strong
backing. The fact that Illinois is al
ready booked for two big chairman
ships will probably operate against
Hopkins. A big shake-up is likel3T
in the membership of the committee
on Banking and Currency, which
was packed by Reed for the especial
purpose of preventing its reporting
a financial bill. In this House it is
to be packed for the purpose of re
porting a financial bill, the one de
claring for the single gold standard,
to which Mr. Henderson is thorough
ly committed. The job of reorganiz
ing the committee was made easy
for Mr. Henderson by the failure of
some of its most prominent mem
bers, including its chairman "Joe"
Walker, of Massachusetts to return
to the House. The old Reed officers
of the House are all fightiug for re
election. The cruiser Charleston, wrecked
off the coast of the island of Luzon,
although one of the oldest ships of
our new nav3r, was worth more than
half a million dollars, and that sum
may now be added to the large and
rapidly growing amount that this
country is paying for imperialism.
What readers of this paper have
known for some time that Boss
Piatt was scheming to get Governor
"Teddy" Roosevelt on the ticket with
Mr. McKinley next year is begin
ning to be fully understood by
friends of other would-be running
mates of Mr. McKinley. That Piatt
was working with the knowledge and
consent of Roosevelt has been sus
pected from the first, and now it is
practically certain. Roosevelt told
a prominent New York republican
the other day that if the party man
agers wished him to run for the
Vice-Presidency he would accept.
Humph ! of course he would accept,
and be almighty glad of the opportu
nity, too.
According to what seems to be
trustworthy information, the admin
istration is secretly dickering with
Aguinaldo. It is said that General
Otis was instructed to open commu
nication with Aguinaldo and submit
certain propositions from this gov
ernment to him, and that Otis re
plied that he had forwarded the
dispatches to General Maexrthur,
with instructions to get them to
Aguinaldo, if he could find him. Not
a word of information as to the na
ture of the propositions submitted to
Aguinaldo, or rather which this gov
ernment is trying to submit to him,
can be had in official circles, further
than a statement that they relate to
Spanish prisoners.
Why the preliminary report of the
Philippine Commission, which was
forced by Mr. McKinley for use in
Ohio, did not throw any boquets at
General Otis has been ascertained
Admiral Dewey put his foot down on
the report containing a single sen
tence of praise for Otis. And that
isn't all that has become known
Admiral Dewey, while declining to
criticise Otis, told Mr. McKinley
that if the American army had been
commanded by the right sort of an
officer there would have been no war
with the Filipinos. That is said to
have been the principal reason for
curtailing the authority of Otis, by
fixing it so that Generals MacArthur,
Lawton and Wheaton would be left
free to fight the troops under them
in their own way during the present
campaign against Aguinaldo.
Very few democratic Senators and
Representatives have yet reached
Washington, for the session of Con
gress shortly to open. But those
who have been in Washington since
the State elections have all been dis
posed to regard the outlook for dem
ocratic success next year as decidedly
favorable. With a majority of votes
in the President's own State, where
vast sums of money were used,
against his party's candidate, they
do not even regard that State as sure
to go for McKinley. It is, they be
lieve, merely a question of uniting
the anti-republican vote to elect the
next President, and the republican
Congress may assist materially in
doing that.
Negotiations are now in progress to
