Lord Bacon said, "Wives re young
nieu's mistrowes, oontpanions for mid-"
die age and old men's nurses." There
is truth in that and my wife is nursing
m now. Our girls fcae gone off, one
to a wedding and the other to Atlanta
on a visit. I told them to go, for they
had been penned op here with me for
tour long months and their mother
said she would take care of me until
they returned. I get along pretty well
during the day, but at night my cough
is distresting and my wife has to dose
me with various remedies until I get to
sleep. The ruin has come At last and
puriQed the air and I feet better. Yes,
we two are alone in a great big house.
She sits in her accustomed corner and
sews moat all day long, while I ait op
posite in mine and write or read aloud
to her and when meal time comes she
sits at one end of the table and I at the
other, and that's all.
Old Father Gibbons came 9 miles
yesterday to see me and to invite me
and . my wife to his birthday dinner.
Next week he will be 89 years old 'and
still gets about lively and takes a com
fort in meeting his friends and abusing
the yankees. It is hard to r construct
these old veterans, especially when they
come from Virginia. lie and his
brother moved to Georgia Just after the
close of the -war. He settled in this
county on a good farm and his brother
located io Home. I never was at the
old gentleman's house but once and
that was in 1866. His brother was a
game man and had been a colonel in
the confederate army. When the. carpet-baggers
and mean niggers overrun
their section and plundered every rebel's
home the colonel organized a band of
avengers and played kuklux among
them and whipped them and ran them
off and later they came back with fed
eral officers and the colonel and his
band had to leave to save their lives.
Not long after ,the colonel had se ttled in
Rome the Virginia carpet-baggers got a
military order for his arrest and trans
portation to Virginia for trial. ' A
deputy marshal and another fellow
came secretly to Borne, but the colonel
had already been advised of their com
ing and so one dark night about 10
o'clock he came to my house and told
me his peril and said he could go to his
brothers place in this county and hide
out until the pursuit had blowed over.
So I hitched my horse to our rockaway
and we left in haste. I knew the road
to Kingston and he knew the rest of
the way. It was about 8 o'clock when
we reached the place and saw the gin
house out in the field. There we
stopped and he took refuge in it and
told me to tie my horse ont in the
bushes and then go down and rouse up
ids brother. This is the old man that
asked us to come and dine with him.
When I knocked at the door he came
in his night clothes and said, "Who is
that and what do you want?"
whispered my business and told him to
talk low, for we didn't want the family
or the negroes to know anything. He
put on his clothes and went t his
brother and I got .in my conveyance
and made for Home, where I arrived
about sunrise. The colonel kept hid in
the gin house under the cotton for
nearly a month and then dared to re.
turn for the officers had departed. -1
never see this fine old Virginia gentle
man but what I think of that ride and
the narrow escape his brother made,
Verily reconstruction was worse than
war. But it is all over how, thank the
good Lord, and we can hold our re
unions and carry our battle-torn ban
ners and build our monuments and lay
the corner stone for Winnie Davis and
lynch the brutes that assault our wives
and daughters and as Governor Oates
said to our , detainers in- congress.
"What are you going to do about it?"
And as" for lynching; I repeat what I
have said before, "Let the good work
go on. ' Lynch 'em I Hang 'em I Shoot
'em ! Burn 'em " Israel jrntnam went
into a cave with a toroh to shoot the
wolf that had devoured the lambs of
his flock, and just so I would lynch the
brutes who outrage our women. He is
not a human. He is a brute, a beast
and all these demonstrations by gover
nors and judges and sheriffs are hypo
critical and perfunctory. In their
breasts they rejoice in the lynching. -And
there is another set of hypocrites
who infest our southern land. I mean
those who for the sake of filthy lucre
and nothing else invite Eooaevelt to
visit their city and they promise him
an ovation, lie comes nearer being a
figure-head of a president than any we
have ever had. He is a confirmed
slanderer of a great and good man and
he 1 new he slandered him and will not
ret- ict or apologize. Our women have

I had no idea that he could sell of
hardly give away a thousand copies,
for our old men and cultured men and
patriots were nearly all dead and this
generation does not care whether Gen
eral Jackson made a speech or not. I
asked a college man if he bad ever read
it and he seemed surprised and asked
who was General Jackson. Our people
who have grown up since the war have
fallen into northern lines and are for
money. Money la their ambition,

have done more to corrupt the young
men of this country than all other

smart are looking for some short cut to
fortune some scheme, some tricky
way to shear the lambs and get some
body's money for. nothing. This is
sad, but it is the truth.
Well, the election is over and we are
just where we were. We didn't expect
anything else. Senator Morgan can
take comfort, for he said long ago that
it was best to let the republicans hf
the house as long as they had the
senate. Give them rope, all the rope,
and let the country tee where they will
run to and by the next presidential
election the people will be alarmed and
turn the rascals out. bo mote it be.

Mies Dora Meek quarreled with her
sweetheart on Sunday, September 23,
and then went to sleep. She slumbered
until Siturday, October 18, and then
regained consciousness. Every remedy
known to science was tried in an effort
to awaken her and failed. ' '
During the entire time of her sleep
her pulse and respiration were normal.
The pupils of her eyes retained their
normal condition.
What puzzled the physicians was her
wonderful power of resistance to the
remedies that usually brought such
cases to an end. Ammonia fumes, ioe
applied to her back, smart slappings,
all were endured without flinching.
Not once did she give signs of knowing
what was being done, yet later develop
ments show that she was largely con
scious of what went on about her.
. As she tells it now, she was conscious
much of the time, but when every
thing was quiet her mind would
wander. All of the time she was heir
less and uuable to make a sign. , . -w
During her sleep she had many
wonderful dreams.
' The history of the case goes back
several years. She had an aunt, ac
cording to reports, who was the victim
of long sleep and never fully recovered
her mental strength. The girls father
had an attack of yellow fever in bis
soldier days, and his nerves had never
recovered entirely.
Two years ago the girl quarreled with
her sweetheart. The next morning she
was found in a wood lying by a log, al
most frozen and in a sleep similar to
the recent one. Drs. Las well, of Alma,
and Murfin, of Fatoka, treated her and
brought her out after almost a week.
This last time she quarreled with her
sweetheart on the Saturday before she
went to sleep.

One of the features of the recent
campaign has been the re-appearance
of Grever Cleveland as a Democratic
leader. For the first time since Bry
an's nomination he made a campaign
speech for his party. We shall not be
surprised if a formidable effort is made
to secure his nomination of President
two years hence. On last Tuesday
night we heard two Democratic lawyers
of more than ordinary prominence
declare-for him. The great obstacle in
the way of a Cleveland boom by the
anti-Bryan element is the "no-third-
term" precedent that not even Grant
himself was unable to break. It is in
teresting, therefore, to see that in a re
cent New York special to the Rich
mond Dispatch, Mr. Cleveland (all the
while protesting that he was not a
candidate) was quoted as saying: - -
"Recognizing the faot that, through
President twice, I did hot have two suc
cessive terms, and that the precedent
set by the Father of his Country related
entirely to the "holding, in a continued
succession, three terms as President, I
do not see that the precedent relates to
me at all, or that if I were calledupon
by my fellow-citizens even twenty years
from now, I could not serve yet another
terra as President of the United States
without violating the precedent very
properly set as a safeguard by our great
est American.".

M. V. Richards, the land and indus
trial agent of the Southern Railway Co.,
is a worker rather than a talker. But
a few days ago the writer, meeting Mr.
Richards for an hour or two on the cars
while passing through the Carolinas,
turned naturally to a discussion of the
progress of the South, and without at
tempting to quote his exact words,
some of the points made by Mrr Rich
ards may be summed up at follows:
"At last, after many years or teea-
sowing, often under great discourage
ment, the South is beginning to reap
the harvest. To get capital to come
South was for a long time difficult pro
position, but it was much more ditucult
to induce oeople to locate here. To the
great mass of Northern and Western
people the South was an unknown
remon. ' So deep were tne preiuaices
gmnst ' this section that the people
were more inclined to accept every laise
or sensational statement against the
South than to believe any good of it.
The men who in the early days blazed
their way through the forests, crossed
the'Alleghaniea and opened up the
West and the men who later pressed on
fron Ohio and Indians and Illinois to
Iowa and Minnesota and the Dakota s
were not in one tense greater pioneers
than were the men who twenty, fifteen
or even ten years ago moved from the
West and the North to Ihe boutn.
That the anticipated dangers were
never encountered by the latter does
not alter the case. They thought they
were going into a far and dangerous
land, and except for those who, driven
by an inhospitable climate At home,
sought health here the majority of the
people who formerly came might, if
you use the word in its better sense, be
called adventurers. Jfioneers they cer
tainly were, and very generally in the
dame financial condition of the pioneers
who made possible the creation of the
mighty West. Home of them succeeded
and tome failed, but back in the North
and West", whence they came, the
failures were promptly widely heralded,
while not to much was heard about
the successes. But after a while the
story of the men who had come South,
often with no capital but brains and
brawn, was told back at home, at first
with some skepticism, since there was
still a disinclination to believe that any
good could come out of the South.
Now, thought, these reports are being
everywhere accepted. Men are saying
if John Doe could sro South and suc
ceed, surely we can do so. And just
about the time when this conviction
was speadiDg over the country the great
prosperity of the West caused sucn an
enormous advance in the price of farm
lands that every Western paper is filled
with stories of farmers selling their
high-priced land at $50, 175 and $100
an acre and moving South, where they
can buy cheap land and thus repeat
the success made in the West. At least
100 Western farmers are today going
over the country tributary to the South
ern Railway between Washington and
the Saluda river looking lor larms,
while we have just soli to a Western
man for $35,000 cash a noted Virginia
farm. Alone other parts of the road
the same activity in hunting for good
farms is going on. But it is not alone
farmers who are moving this way in
great numbers. Timber-buyers, lum
ber-operators, pleasure-seekers having a
competence, and who want now to
make a permanent home in a section
having such a genial climate as much
of the South, and many others are mov
ing this' way. The immigration and
industrial development work of the
Southern Railway has grown to rapidly
that is is difficult to keep up with the
enquiries from prospective settlers."
Thinking over Mr. Richards' enthu
siastic talk about the great southward
movement of population, the writer
could not but recall the lrng and often
times weary fight of the pioneers in the
eudeavor to press upon the world's at
tention the claims of this section, the
doubt which even Southern people had
of these efforts ever being crowned with
success, of the time when the Southern
Railway managers determined to take
an active part in this work, and called
to this uphill fight Mr. Richards, a
Western man, whose father, like so
many others, had gone from Virginia
to make a home in the then almost un
known West and whose son was de
stined to play such a prominent part in
bringing to Virginia people from all
the West, which he was so closely iden
tified. This work of the Southern Rail
way Co., hat been aggressively pushed
for some years, the managers of this
company realizing that immediate re
sults could not be secured, but now the
whole South is beginning to reap the
benefits from the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars thus expended. The
seed have been sown sometimes in un
promising soil, sometimes in good,
but the seed-sowing has never ceas d,
and often the upromising soil has
yeilded even a larger harvest than that
what was supposed to be the most fer
tile. The Southern Railway Co.,
through its industrial and immigration
bureau, has done a great work for the
South. .... - -

Three) Year.
A. W. Machen, General Superin
tendent of the Free Delivery system,
in his report for the fiscal year 1902.
estimates that "within the next three
years, when the extension of the rural
free delivery service is completed, there
will be 40,000 carriers employed, who
will cover a territory of 700,000 square
miles and make necessary an annual
appropriation of about $24,000,000.
The territory cf the United States avail
able for rural free delivery embraces
about 1,000,000 square miles, or one
third of the country's area, including
Alaska, and the 11,650 routes now in
operation cover a little more than 800,-
000 square miles, to that almost one
third of the available territory has been
provided with service. ' -
Mr. Machen says that while for the
last five years the annual increase in
the appropriations for the rural services
has averaged over 200 per cent, in two
or three years, when the complete ex
tension shall have been effected, the
rate of increase ought not to exceed 8
or 9 per cent., the rate maintained in
the older branches of the service. The
report says:
The sooner the service is completed,
the mora quickly will the full effect
of its influence on the postal revenue
be felt. Hereafter the extension of the
service should be made at the rate of
12,000 routes a year until it becomes
universal. To do this the Department
will require such largely increased ap
propriations that the annual postal defi
cits for the ensuing two or three yean
will probably reach $8,000,000 or $10,-
000,000, if not more, but once the ser
vice is thoroughly organized, the pat
ronage from 20,000,000 of our people
who have thus far had little opportunity
to enjoy the full benefits of the mail
service will increase to such a marked
degree that the additional revenue de
rived, will soon reduce the present
figures, if not entirely wipe them out.
An additional approprition of $500,
000 is asked for the current year to en
able the" Department to carry out its
plans for the uninterrupted extension
of the service.
On July 1, 1901, 4,801 rural routes
were in operation, and during the year
4,165 routes were established, the ser
vice practically doubling.itself in twelve
months. On July 1, 1901, the num
ber of petitions for routes received t
the Department since the establishment
of the hrst route in 1896 reached
10,243 while during the year 1902,
12,403 petitions were filed, exceeding
by over 2,000 the total number filed
during the preceding four years. Since
July 1, 1902, about 2,400 petitions have
been received or about 600 a month
a large average for this season of the
year. ,
The observations made by the De
partment of the working of the rural
free delivery system in Carroll county,
Maryland, where a cqajiplete and model
system is in operation, shows that rural
free delivery causes a healthy and
steady increase in the gross receipts of
the post offices in the locality in which
free delivery is general, and is also re
sponsible for a portion of the increased
revenues of the larger offices accruing
from the stimulated use of the mails by
merchants and others who are now able
to reach patrons of rural free delivery
throughout the Country.
Supt. Machen recommends that ruial
carriers be authorized to pay money
orders to patrons as well as to issue
them. In several localities postmasters
have at their own risk permitted rural
carriers to pay money orders, v The in
novation has proved most satisfactory
and in no case has there been a wrong
payment of money by the carrier or
loss to the postmaster on account of the
practice.;- -!-'
Mr. Machen recommends that fif
teen day s annual T leaver tor granted
rural carriers and that substitute, car
riers be paid a fixed living salary in
place of the $1 a year they now receive
from the Government. 1 : .
