COLONEL 7. B. KEoGH, Chairman Of
the Republican State Committee of North
Carolina, and one of the most popular
men who ever visited Washington, was
recently in Charleston, S. c., and while
there fell in with IN ardent Dem ocrat oil
the last-ditch school, who, knowing OF
his radicalism, kindly offered to show
him over the town. 1t was beautiful
night, and :he Colonel consented.
As is usual in the South, politics were
Il great deal discussed, and the Democrat
true to his faith, frequently assured keogh
that "since dc wah. sab" the people of
the South had nothing to live for. Al
last they reached the Battery, and the
Colonel, looking out on tho beautiful
moon lii bay, grew tired OF hearing his
guides complaints, and exclaimed:
"Well, now, it seems to me that you
gentlemen Of the South have much to
be thankful for. You have most pro-
ductive soil, a magnificent climate, and
that moon just look at that beautiful
moon!"
For moment the South CaroliEian
was silent, but he was not vanauished
Equal to the emergency, he at length re-
piled: "Oh, of course, there's some truth
in what you say. sab; but you ought to
have seen that moon before de wah!"

AWAY UP.-The Visalia Delta faith,
ers this yarn, which in its way, may be
said to be of salty favor: A repor:
Comes from the Sierra Nevada mountains
ofthe discovery of the tim bers ola strand
ed vessel resembling those of Chinese
junk, high up in the mountains, be-
tween Mineral King and the head wat
ers OF Kings river. The sound portions
OF the timber resemble camphor wood
and, 1t is said, still retain faint smell
The fsstenings are OF copper; the rig.
ging, etc., are, Of course, all gone. A
number Of bones, supposing to be human
were also found in the vicinity, and upon
the adjacent slopes there is abundant
evidence OF the previous occupation of the
waters, in the shape Of shells, as well a:
the occasional finding of petriHed fish.
That this valley has at one time been an
inland sea is admitted by biologists, but
that these waters were nayigated by CO,
.estial seamen one or two thousand years
ago has never been claimed even by the
Chinese themselves. But these same
people do claim to have been the original
discovers of this country, and this find
seems to give color to the claim. 1t has
also been claimed by them that vessels Of
theirs have beer wrecked on this coast
and that portions of the crew have re.
turned TO China. but that the wreck itsel
should be located, and that this location
should prove 70 be in Tulars county, i,
surely an interesting fact, inviting the
inspection Of the curious and the solution

A STRANGE ExPERIEScE.-There re-
sides near Oak Hill, in this county, a
man by the name of William Garrett,
who has remarkable history as one Of
the few survivors of the Mountain Mead
CIV massacre, in 1858, where nearly 200
men, women and children were slain by
the Indians and Mormons, under the
leadership of John d. Lee, who recently
expiated his crime with his life. At
that time Garrett was boy 10 years of
age, and with his sister NJ elinda, then
six years old, was captured by the In
dams after they had butchered his par
ents, and for twenty long years he re-
manned captive. During the Indian
campaign in which Gen. Custer was
killed he was captured by United States
soldiers, and, being found TO be white
man, an investigation finally resulted in
establishing his identity. He was taken
TO the home of his childhood, and at once
recognized the place. He has an uncle
living at his old home in Henry county,
in this State. The girl long since has
become the wife of Red Cloud the we'll
known Sioux Chief, and has by him three
children. She prefers remaining with
her Indian friends. When rescued Gar
rett had forgotten his mother tongue, and
was as wild as an untamed savage. He
remenknGed only his own and his sisters
nameyaHd the horrible scenes OF the
massacre, which nothing could blot from
his memory. He visited the Mirror Of
fee on Tuesday last, and gave US some
interesting incidents in connection with
his twenty years life among The ssvages.
In appearance he is little above the me-
dunn height, erect and muscular, with
dark hair and beard, forid complexion.
and bright, keen blue eyes. He says the

Garrett was adopted by the medicine

mysteries Oft treatment of disease by
the Indian method, and became great
Indian doctor, a fact which he has turned
to account since his restoration to civil
lied life. He has the reputation of pos

married wife, purchased farm, and
now resides. He has sufficiently mas.

LAWYERS FEE. "A case was re
Gently pending in ono of tho courts in
Chicago against lawyer by one OF bis
clients, showing that the plaintiff had
placed in the hands of the defendant, the
said lawyer, for collection, a demand
against third party for $73. The de-
mand was collected by the lawyer on
presentation. When his client called on
him for the amount collected, the lawyer
answered that there was nothing coming
to him; that the amount collected was
barely sufficient to cover his fees in the
case. The client thereupon sued the
lawyer for the amount, 1913. At the trial
the latter interposed set-otf of 1913 25.
Among the items were four "consuta

A WORD WITH SAN Francisco. We
gathered our household goods and gods
and fled from Sudom to the remotest parts
of thy domain where we might live in
virtue, peace and quiet, and acceptable in
the eyes of the good. We have subdued
the forest, drained the lowlands and bored
that we might bring moisture to the parch-
ed plain and desert; we have broken the
virgin SOIL, sowed and have harvested
we have built and are happy in this
peaceful country, we enjoy our rural
simplicity, and try 10 love ourselves as
our neigheors. We send you of our
abundance of the cereals, fruits and wines
and humbly take your liver, be it more
or less, as you are disposed paying
freight. We are willing to continue to
do this, that you may revel in you
wickedness and grow fat. In our strug.
| gle to keep you up in vour dissipation
and wickedness and feed your idle, lazy
and dissolute we have somewhat neglect
ed the culture OF our minds, but we give
full development to our physical culture
our muscle-of which you have to ii
very limited extent, for all we have done,
and are doing and will 90 for you, we
pray you, in the name OF all the gods in
mythology, keep your blackguards at
home. Send no more of them into our
quiet and peaceful midst, for, if you do,
as sure as the sun rises in the east, we
shall smite them. Yea, verify, we shall
punish them severely. Every commun.
ity, however quiet and peaceful, has it's
turbulent, restless spirits, whose mission
seems to be to keep stirring up strife be-
tween neighbors. They do not need your
assistance.
Again, keep your roughs at home; we
want none of them, and we shall ever
pray-and feed yod at your own price

For BETTER OR WORSE The old

his daughter Mary, and many a would-be

The old man had one more shot in his

the bill and saw 10 certainty that it was
genuine. The incident over, the young
men resumed their hlsrity and the train
boy wendell his way back to the baggage
car, evidently in deep thought.
A few minutes later young Edison was
again in the car that contained the CO.
centric customer. This time he had on
his arm basket of apples. They we're
not the largest apples in the market,
neither were they altogether free from
defects.
What are your apples worth, young
:aller ?" shouted the old customer.
"Seven cents apiece" replied Edison,
proceeding to dilate on the superiority OF
these particular apples over all others in
the market.
How many have you got ?" contin-
ued the customer, taking the basket in
his hand and balancing it.
"Sixty>two," said Edison, just as the
basket and apples sped through the win
dow into an open field.
" He>e's your money said the prodi-
gal, handing the train boy five dollar
note.
Edison again returned to the baggage
car and once more the hilarious quartet
resumed their chatting.
Five minutes later the train boy again
appeared. This time his stock consist ed
of newspapers. Both srms were filed.
To appearances they were the papers OF
the day, but the young news agent knew
that seven-elgh this of them were old dis
carded papers which had been lying in
his box for months.
How much for your papers, bub ?'
shouted the young men.
"Six dollars for the lot, said Edison,
somewhat timidly, however. as though
fearful that the bonanza might be drain
ed.
" Here they go I" shouted the GUS
toner. snatching them from his hands
and sending them, like their pred
through the open window. Here's your
money!" and the train boy pocketed six
dollars additional.
Once more he left the car. By this
time the passengers were wrought up to
n high pitch of interest at the unusual
departure in political economy which
they had witnessed. The lavish young
men laughed aloud at their course, and
one of them WAS heard to say, Well, /
guess we've bought him out at last"
The prediction seemed to be true
Fifteen minutes passed away and the train
boy did not make his appearance.
But the prodigals did not know the boy
with whom they were dealing. At the
end of quarter Of an hour they looked
up to see coming down the aisle OF tho
car Edison and anotf err boy, bearing be
tween them large box. at which they
tugged and painted in their efforts to get
it to the seats of the young men.
Hell ! What in thunder have you got
here ?" SAID they, rising to look at the
curiosity. Young Edison wiped the per-
spiration from his brow as he said,
"Well, you've bought out all my stock
and now I've brought my store and tx
lures along. Give me twenty dollars
more and you can chuck them all out Of

This was too much for the capitalists.
