Perished in the Cold.

CLAYTON, n. NJ, November 15.-
Don Louis Baca, a prominent Spanish
sheep raiser of Ute Creek, has just
arrived at this place. He gives very
sad account of the late blizzard in that
region. Five Mexican sheepherders
perished in his neighborhood, the
bodies of four having been found. The
snow completely covers the ground
from Clayton to the Canadian river, a
distance of 125 miles. Many Mexican
families are in a destitute condition.
Owing to the heavy snow they are un-
able to move from their places in order
to lay in a supply Of food. Mr.. Baca
says other bodies will be recovered as
soon as the snow melts, as several men
are missing.

The Negro Woman Postlnas tor.
TCheraw Reporter.

There is great complaint among our
subscribers at Chesterfield about getting
their papers. A subscriber, who began
taking the Reporter last September,
told US the other day he had received
but one paper in all that time. Why
the postmaster refuses to give him his
paper, we cannot say, for they are GER
tainly in the Office. We do not care to
make man pay for a paper he does
not receive, neither do We care to send
papers week after week, and not have
them delivered. This case is only one
of many similar, and we would like to
ask how much longer our people will
be compelled to put up with such
inefhciency in the Chesterfield Office?
If the Republican administration de-
sires to appoint colored person to the
Chesterfield post Office, all we'll and
good; but at the same time, the people
have right to demand that one who
can administer the office shall be ap-
pointed.

/ ROMANCE OF THE NORTHWEST.
Pioneer in the Last Century Welded to
an Indian Girl to Save His Life.

QUEBEC. Nov. H. Quite a romantic
story has been disclosed by the evil
dence given here in the Court of Review
in a case involving the ownership of
property valued at over million dol
lars, and including the seigniories of
Temisconata and Madawaska. One
Beaulieu of River du Loup, who says
ne is the great-grandson of Col. Alex
ander Fraser, claims possession Of
share Of the enormous estate left by
that gentleman, and now enjoyed by
the defendant, Alexander Fraser, who
settled in the Northwest in 17ss, with
an Indian girl named Angclique Mea-
dOws, through one of whose children
the claimant contended that he was
heir to the disputed estates: After
being with Angelique Meadows for
some years in the Northwest, Col.
Fraser, in 1901 returned to Canada and
acquired the seigniories of Telniscon&ti
aud Madawaska. ADgelique followed
him to Quebec in 1903, and. with her
children lived with him for some time
at River du Loup, first in the manor
house which he himself occupied, and
later in small lodge at some distance
therefrom, built specially for her ac-
commodation.
The claimant produced number of
witnesses who had known the late Col.
Fraser prior to his decease in 1886, and
who testified that he had Frequently
described in their hearing the cere-
monial which attended his marriage in
the Northwest with his Indian wife,
the first Protestant missionaries to the
Northwest having only reached these
Indians in 1918. Fraser told how he
saved his life by his marriage with An
gelique, which was celebrated in ac-
cordance with the formalities practised
by the Northwest Indians.
The defendants contested the legality
of this marriage, urging that, even if it
had been celebrated in the then GUS
tomary manner, it was only forced
alliance. They produced a petition
presented to the Canadian Parliament
in 1862 by the present claimant, in
which it was alleged that Col. Fraser
was forced to contract an alliance in
the Northwest with Angelique Mea-
dows, who had saved his life on an oc-
casion when he would most certainly
have perished without her protection.
Two of the three Judges composing the
court gave judgment for the defendant
on:the ground that the marriage had
not been shown to nss~e--Deer
tracted according to the usages then
prevailing in the Northwest; and that
even if it had been, the consent of
Fraser thereto had not been free, since
it was shown that he had been forced
to it in order to avoid certain death.
Judge Plamondon dissented from the
decision of the court, from which an
appeal is to be taken to the highest tri-
bunal of the empire.

A Thrifty Young Earmer-

Young farmer, J.;5impson Dominick,
of Prosperity, S. c., writes an admira-
bic letter TO the "Agricultural depart
ment" of the Charleston News and
Courier, in which he says: "Some Of
our farmers complain Of hard times.
but if they would only make their own
hog and hominy at home, times would
not be so hard. Instead of buying it
from the merchant and depending on
the West and Northwest for it, why
can't we raise our own pork as cheap
as they can, and have our own sugar
cured hams at home without buying
them? -. --
~ am only young farmer Of about
ten years, experience, and I have sold
more hams and bacon than I have
ever bought. Some men say the farm
does not pay, but I say the farm does
pay. It is not the farm that does not
pay. It is the men that are Oh them
that does not pay. They lose too much
time and waste too much money is the
reason the farm does not pay. Farm
implements have got too cheap. We
can't afford to make or to have them
made, consequently there is a great
deal of valuable time lost, and time is
money. The plow-stocks, swingle-
trees, clevices and all are bought, be-
cause they are so cheap. Yes, and
they are very poor, too. The wood is
brittle and easily broken, consequently
a new one must often be bought. The
farmer, that is a farmer, should have
him a shed and shop, and do all that
work himself on rainy days, and have
extra swingletrees and plow-stocks of
his own make and save all that ex-
pense.
''One word to young men. Don't
leave the farms to find more. honora-
bic position, but take hold of the plow
handle yourseles, for I consider farming
one Of the most honorable positions
that. 8 young man can follow. There
is where the bread of all other profes-
sions comes from. IF I were to tell
your readers what I made clear on my
farm last year they would say that it
paid me. On the five acres that I made
six bales on last year, I am going to
make ten this yeaf, and I want to make
my crop average bale to the acre this
year, for have concluded it is as easy
to make a bale to the acre as it is half
bale.

Trouble Among the Kings Daughters.

CHARLESTON, 8. g., Nov. 10.-There
is row in the order of the Kings
Daughters here. The Royal Chapter,
which is composed Of delegates from
the various circles in the State, met
here yesterday, and was very slimly at
tended. The slim attendance was at
tributed to the publication in news
paper Of card supposed to have been
written by prominent Kings Daugh-
ter, and in which the writer urges the
Kings Daughters to get up a petition
to Queen Victoria for the pardon of Mrs.
Maybrick.
1t is said that the publication Of this
letter kept many delegates away from
the meeting. The matter was not
formally discussed, but the ladies who
were present were very mad at the
publication.

A Woman's Pretty Foot.
T"Bab" in st. Louis Republic.

["Bab" in st. Louis Republic.
"Such a beautiful foot-white and
and slender and firm, withouta a blotch
on it ~ That's what the visiting mani
cure said to me the other day. She
usually combines with the care of your
hands all responsibility as to your feet
which means, not only removing the
painful blotch, but keeping the nails
trimmed so exactly that for them to
grow in becomes an utter impossibility.
She is talking about one of her clients,
ard she is telling how this woman al.
ways keeps her foot unmarried by bump
or discoloration. "She always wears
close fitting shoes, and even when the
evening comes and her slippers are put
on, they fit her foot just as closely~ o. Z
it never has an opportunity c>se its
shape in wide, loose-ftting Shoes" I
sit and mediate and I think what
world of shams this is.
We call the most uncomfortable shoe
in the world the common-sense shoe,
and the only reason that | can possibly
find is, that so-called common sense
possessed by Tom, Dick and Harry, is
not worth the ink used for writing it.
A common-sense shoe is ill-shaped, un-
comfortable and ugly. If human beings
had their toes made square it would be
quite proper to have shoes built in that
way, and if the Lord had made the hu-
man foot utterly without instep it
would be equally all right to cater to
the lack of it. In common-sense shoe
your foot shuff1es all around until corns
and bunions are the result, while on a
wet day you are plump down in the
mud rather than helped by high heel
to get out oft.
l cannot imagine woman walking
with any satisfaction with such mon
strosities on her as good, broad vamp
and sole protruding from each side
that makes her look as if she were
shuff1ing around on canaisboats. Now,
instead, put her in a pretty boot that
fits her foot-let the heel be tolerably
high, and let the arch of her instep be
brought out. She will look down; she
will see how we'll dressed her feet are,
then she holds her head little higher,
walks little quicker, gets a pretty
flush in her face, and is not afraid to
step in a street car, or go up the ele-
waited stairs. Now, this is because she
has uncommon rather than common
sense.
To women whose feet are large and
whose shoemakers are stupid, would
suggest that they do not wear patent
leather shoes; the glitter Of the bright
polish attracts attention to their feet,
which ought, because of their size, to
be booted as quietly as possible. She
who has short, plump foot should
never put on black, velvet slippers
they will make it look thicker than
ever. and only the woman whose foot
is long aud narrow can afford to wear
large buckles. Blessed is mankind, for
he doesn't care whether bis foot be big
or little, and he has two costumes for
it-one for the day and one for the
night-whereas the fashionable woman
must needs have her walking boot, her
driving shoe, her house-slippers to
match tea gowns or dinner dresses, and
her Turkish slippers, with their curved
and pointed toes, in which to potter
around her dressing room.

NORTH CAROLINA GOLD.
The Untold Wealth Discovered on the Land
= Of tho Three Sanders Brothers in
montgomery County.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Nov. 15.-Great
excitement prevails in the gold mining
circles throughout Western North
Carolina, on account of the heavy gold
find just made by Tobe Sanders, Mont
goEery County. Sanders now has
hundreds of hands at work, and is get
ting gold by the peck. He gets so much
gold that absolutely no pretense is
made at weighing it, except on large
pair Of grocers' scales. The find has
created profound sensation, and the
people in Montgomery and adjoining
counties are digging for gold by the
hundreds. Experts who have ex-
amined the gold fields in this section
say there is as much gold in Western
North Carolina grounds as California
ever dreamed of. One mine alone, near
here, is said to be worth $1,000, 900.
Syndicates are being organized, with
plenty of cash, to open up these mines,
and developments are expected at an
early Gay that will startle the world.
THE STORY CONFIRMED.
RALEIGH, II. c., Nov. 15.-The Caro-
lima Watchman, published at Sails
bury, has sent a mining expert to
Montgomery County to Investigate the
rumors of the important gold find
there, and the reports that all the
statements about fabulous wealth hav-
ing been discovered there are true.
The find is said to be the richest ever
discovered in the State. Three parallel
veins have been found, about half an
inch in thickness, only few feet apart.
One pans out a large per cent. Of pure
gold and the Watchlnan's representa-
tive ascertained that a bushel of solid
gold had already been taken out of the
deposit. The place is owned by the
three Sanders brothers. Two of them
have been living in Texas, but have
started for Salisbury in response to q
telegram.
Great excitement is reported in the
neighborhood, and people are leaving
their work to search for gold.
1t is stated that one man in two
hours work got out 1000 pennyweight
of pure gold, and was then compelled
by the owners to leave off work.
