SOUTHERN MOUNTAINEERS. Have Been Most Unjustly Criti - cised. On many occasions m Ike part The Post hat had goo words to say, for those much misunderstood and must unjustly criticised fellow-creatures of ours, the Southern nioun. taineera. We Lave protested against the commentators who dwelt extravagantly al most always falsely, upon their imperfec tions without once paying tribute to their virtues. Circumstances, unwise laws op press! vely administered, climatic and phys ical conditions have, made them a people apart, but the fact dovs not excuse their m aligners or divorce I hem from the sym- i Jill mi . . paiuies 01 open-minueu men. tne truth is that they have changed very little in the process of the succeeding generations which intervene between them and their Scotch and English ancestors who came to America ia the seventeenth century with Oglethrope and through the medium of the London Com. pany. They have kept unimpaired their love of freedom, their simple standards and ideals, their rude chiralry, (heir religious practices, their feuds, their passions, and their creeds. They dwell among the moun tains, they are hunted by , a swarm of rev enue agents, they know none of the so-called refinements and exaltatious of our latter- day civilization, liut Disliop Hose, of the Methodist Church, who has worked among them for many years and who knows them well has this to say as the result of his long experience and enlightened observation: "The great majority of the mountaineers, as I have before said, are excellent citizens, loving their and its nag. obeying its laws without reluctance, and ready to light for it whenever any fighting needs to be done. They are the descendants of the men who rode with Sevier ard Shelby to Kings Mouo tain in 1780 and for those who followed Jacksou to New Orleans in 1815. In the civil war they divided sharply. Neutrality is foreign to their nature?. They are al ways on one aide or the other, and have a perfect capacity for partisanship. The bulk of them till their own land with their hands. They are great lover of their homes and their families. Honesty, courage, and hos' a .a - tkAel iiftiwAvan f ft tViravsu-- 1 Corncribs go unlocked the year round, and I families work in the field, leaving their houses unoccupied and wide open all day long. To be known as .a coward is to lose Bianaiog. lo iara w7niiigw "w food or shelter is unheard of. Anarchists and communists are, of course, out of 100 question. Belief in Christianity is wide- spread, and-ia foUowed by membership some church. I They have not soared to monkey dinners and uog recepuons, neuuer uo iuej iui their neighbors, lamilies or permit any one to invade their own. They keep honor, dignity, the virtue and the name of women out of the pelice court, and, far away from the protection of organized society, they maintain standards of purity, fair dealing, troth, and loyalty for which many of our luxurious communities would be the better if they were only both able and willing to imit Latham. The mrmntaineers nave a place in our civilization, whatever wander-- ing busybodiea and docf rinaries may say or think to the contrary, moreover, a is a place that would, be more widely valued were it better understood and more honestly defined.

The other day I went into the office feel ing a little tired, or what some folks would cftll lazv. and sea tine myself ia the editor's easy chair, with my feet on the desk, had inat filled and lighted mv pipe, and under the mystic influence of the magic weed, was growing forter mellow, when Mr. Thompson he!

There are times when he enjoys life. He has such a splendid opportunity to loaf without the boss catching on. - Out by some country roadside, under the spread branches of a grand old oak, flat on his back, he snoozes the hours away. The gentle breezes softly sighing through the branches is music to his soul. While from over the meadow the "Dob ,W hite" of the quail sends greetings to Ret! Ereast as he aits on the rail.

We often hear people say thai their ootra- I ty paper is not worth the money, that there is so much that does not suit them. Be a little considerate, my friend, it is well to remember that, in the parlance of the street. "We are not th only shirts in the laundry,'' and what doea not suit us, may please others.
