Boms Sam pi 8 Product of the Old "Wheel and Loom. This is a great government. We don't know very mach about it until we go bebird the scenes behind the soreens as it were and see what is go ing on. Xbe doings of congress tt we read them in the papers are very noisy and exciting, but it is mostly rontine work end tells ua nothing of what is going on in the various departments oicbtiflo and industrial. We used to get th patent office reports that bad a world of curious information and ex planatory pictures, but they seem to have stopped coming. And there wero " books oa agriculture and horticulture and pest iferous insects and books that told about cattle and sheep and all the diseases to which they were subject, All thefte used to be distributed among the people like the garden seeds are distributed, and- pretty much for the same vote-tasting purpose, but they oost a big lot of money, and now are given only to the scientific. The men of soienee make bat little noise in the world. They care but little for fame or fortune, bat they are ever at work studying nature and solving mysteries and Ironing the burdens of life. It do's seem to be a dispensation of pro "Violence that great men oare but little .for money. What they disoover or invent soon becomes common proper ty. I am not speaking of the small man who takes out a patent on nub. books or hairpins, but of great mem, Sike J enner and Pasteur, Agassiz, i nl ton, Watts, Newton or Morse. But I was ruminating about a visit I had today a visit from Professor Tucker, the United States agent for the labor department. He came to find out about how the silk business was oonducted in Georgia fifty years go. So I told him how my father in 1837 got fome morns multicaulis cut - tings from Washington and in two Years had several aoresof young trees. und then built a house forty feet tatlare and two stories high, and filled it with hurdle frames and got some silkworm eggs, and when they hatched the worm soon filled the honse and eat up all the mulberry leaves and wanted more. We got enough from a neigh' bor to finish cp with, and we boys 'were glad enough when the nasty things began to wrap np in their mummy like shrouds. But my curiosity wag excited. What does the United states want to know all this fort So he explained by say log that his department is comparing the old with the new the primitive methods with the modern and the cost c! each, and which was the best 8'1 gave more happiness, and other 'economio questions. - He bad a leather grip full of samples of the handiwork of the women of western North Caro lina and northeast Georgia. Every little square or scrap was pinned to a printed sheet, that gave the name of the weaver and her age and residence. There were samples of woolen and cot ion and linen and silk, samples of lin ear and jeans and counterpanes and . quilts and wagon sheets and curtains and table cloths; and some of them were gems of beautiful fabrios, and in those mountain counties the humble people are still spinning and weaving in the old-fashioned way and are hap py. In many families their handi work is piled np on the - shelves and clothes presses, awaiting the marriage of sons and daughters, to whom they were to be given as bridal presents. Professor Tucker had some epeoimens of silk sewing thread and flax thread that were made at home. He fonnd good people up there who seldom bought anything and were able to give a hirauger a good bed and plenty to cat and a sincere hospitality. He told me of an old man in Rabun who said be never fell out with the United States until the revenue offioers began to sneak around his little still, where he had been making peach brandy for fifty years, and had the re spect of bis Maker and his neighbors, and he told them' that the United States waaent big enough to stop him, for the right to make it was handed down to him from his father and grandfather. He said they threatened him every time they came abont, but he kept two pitchforks in the house one under the front door and the other at the head of his bed, and they dideftt dare to arrest him. But after worrying with them for three years things kept get ting hotter and hotter, and his neigh bors advised him to quit stilling and be did, for he was getting old and wanted to live in peace, bnt it was a bad government that would let a rich man still and not let a poor man. . These big distilleries, said he, swindle the government ootof more tax money than all onr moonshine stills put to gether. All thjy have to do is to bribe the storekeeper. I know of one over in North Carolina that sold 3,800 gal lons in one year and never paid a dol lar tax on it. He told Professor Tucker that the revenue men broke np' forty stills in -that segion last year, but to. his knowledge there were abont hnndred that were still running on a mall seal. "The boys sorter like the . danger of it," said be, "and the in former catches it when found out.. He generally leaves this part of the country as soon as he pockets his bribe. The mountain people are not as honest and honorable as they used to be, and it all come of tLis bribe-taking business. 'The United States ought to be ashamed of it" The professor ' said it is im possible to convince those mountain eer who are seventy-five miles from pwkV tht it wrong to convert their oorn into whiskey, when one bushel will make three gallons and they Ban haul a hundred dollars worth with a little yoke of tte.rs. uut tney can't run a still on the government plan, for it would cost two or three hundred dollars, and they havn't got the money. He wanted to know if there was anv old fashioned wheels and looms used in this oonutry. Yes, a good many. A good old man died near here last year whose family never wore any other clothes as long as he lived. I knew another man who was nulla well off for a farmer, ho was a deacon in the church and eoiuo times foreman of a grand jury, who never boneht store clothes and he alwavs looked well in his home-made leans. He tanned leather and made shoes for his family. His socks and suspenders and turkey red handker chiefs were all made at home and so was the bed ticking and the feather beds and mattresses. "Kai6e your girls to work," said he, "and they will make good wives and good mothers, During the war the women of Column bus, Ga., swore off -from wearing yankee goods, but mine do the same wat in riflftnfi " That is pretty hard on the girle.and I should think would nt them lor a con vent or to be sisters of charity. I had a tenant once who believed so strong in working the children that they grew up without any schooling. They dident bave any themselves and dident see the need of any. iney naa bright little girl whom they called Thelbv. "What is that child's name?" I asked the mother, and she said "Her name is Othello." "Why, that is a boy's name," said I, but she insist ed that some man who staid all night at their house said it was a party name for a girL "What is your boy's name?" 6aidl, "the one you call Dee?" "Ob, his name is Desdemony, but we call him Dee for short." The poor woman had got the names mixed Othello and Desdemona. Some of these rude people do actually love to work. They get up before day and oook and eat breakfast before sunrise and are off to the field. One of my tenants told me he was always sorry when Sunday came, for it was a mighty long day to him. Bat the old-fashioned wheel and loom were very useful and pleasant t nines to work with. My wife still loves to tell her children how she used to spin and weave on Saturdays and sometimes when she came from school in the evenings, and how Ailsey Tip's mother was the best weaver and could make ten yards of plain oloth a day or six yards of jeans. Becky was the brag spinner and my wife was taught to spin and weave by these family lie groes, for they all loved her and were good to her and she was good to them. She nsed to spin awhile and weave awhile and then practice awhile on the piano arid it was a pleasant mixture of musio all round, and she . looked mighty pretty in her home-made lin sey dresses ehe did that's a fact.-r-BiLii A bp in Atlanta Constitution.

It is said the people of Mitchell, Caldwell and Watauga counties are very uneasy over the appeal anoo thero of Messrs. Cochrane and Tate, ' with a party of surveyors. These two men have surveyed 106,500 acres of land in these oounties, and say that it belongs to them. They are armed with deeds and land grants dating 101 years ago, wherein the land that they olaim was deeded to their .grandparents by the government for services rendered. Grandfather Mountain, the Cranberry Iron Works and the whole town of Lipville are included in the claim. At first the people thought it was some wildoat scheme, but the .confidence Coohrane and Tate exhibit and the documents they have lately brought to bear, have put a serious aspect on the matter,'1 and many of the people now think it quite probable that they will have to give up their homes or re buy them. Mr. Cochrane was born in Watauga, but in early life moved to Alabama, and later went to California. Mr. Tate has always lived in. the West tin part of the State. They Bay that their claims are undoubtedly genuine. The Medal Convention.

Blaokwelder, the tall po liceman, of the Charlotte force, was in Washington a few days ago to look after some money which, like a will-o'-the-wisp, has danced before his vision for two years. The story is this: Col. Blackwelder's mother was a Miss Fish er, her parents being from Germany. When her great-grandfather died, he left an estate valued at $60,000,000. The heirs have never been found.
