'The spread of American enterprise
and Yankee ingenuity is nowhere seen
to better advantage than among the
guileless natives of Alaska" said Cap
tain Anderson. of the Bertha, to a re-
porter of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The captain thereupon proceeded to
throw new light upon the results of tho
fad of relic-hunting pursued by Alaskan
excursionists.
THE captains of the excursion
steamers are pestered by the passengers
for information as to the best place to
procure relics" said he The arrival of
excursionists creates as much of stir
among the natives as steamer dav did
in San Francisco in the COS. They are the
legitimate prey of the children of Alaska
Years ago it was possible to get real
relics at I moderate price. but now it is
hard to tell the difference between real
and false relics.
Some time ago some ingenious ma
tives used to take half-dollars. hammer
them out very thin, and manufacture
them into bracelets. These curios were
sold for $3.50 or 50 at the most When
ing to Alaska in the summer they
bought up the bracelets as fast as they
were made. The native Alaskan is a
very speedy individual He saw fortunes
in store for him. The bracelets could
not be made fast enough TO supply the
demand, and he formed a sort Of syndi-
cate with his brothers. This syndicate
sent 20 San Fran cisco and had hundreds
of these bracelets manufactured here and
reshiDped TO Alaska. There they were

Oconeo Teachers Association.

. . :. . il 1 . . Z u 4 . af =
RIcnLAND, 8, c., February 1, 1890.
The Oconee County Teachers As
sociation met at the new academy,
the chairman, S. ~. Stribling, in the
chair, and half-dozen members pres
ent. The meeting was opened with
prayer by Prof. Alderman. The
calling of the roll and tho reading of
the minutes of the last meeting wore
dispensed with.
The subject for discussion, els the
giving of rewards beneficial"
was opened by Prof. Ackerman.
He favored the offering of rewards.
We all need somc stimulus to work;
in fact, we do nothing without an in
centiye. That stimulus is either the
hope of reward or tho fear of pun
ishmcnt. A child needs more incen-
tive to study than an older person. If
a prize is offered there is an increased
effort on the part of most of the
pupils, which, perhaps, ceases as
soon as q child realizes that he will
not get the prize. 1t would be best
to keep the pupil in the dark if pos
sible as to who ranks first. This is
almost impossible, for children will
know or suspect who will get the
prize or who ranks first.
Mr.. Smith related bit of expe-
rience in which prizes had been
offered, and taken by pupils, who, it
was foreseccn from the beginning,
would take them. He favored the
giving of rewards provided that the
prizes are attainablc by any and all
of the pupils. Then there could be
no charge of injustice, and no one
need be discouraged.
Mr.. Stokes Striblng favored the
giving of rewards and his experience
upheld him i'll his belief that the offer
ing Of rewards is beneficial. Books
should be offered in preference to
medals.
Mr.. S. p. Stribling related his OK
pcricnce, tending to convince him
that the giving Of rewards is bcncf-
cial. The men who have taken first
honors and medals have generally
been called to posts of honor.
Miss johnson stated that she had
always given prizes, especially for
punctuality, in which all could COM
pete for the prize and be on an equal
footing. She found the offering of
prizes worked we'll.
The Executive Committee selected
the question, "To what cxtent ought
boys and girls to minglc in school,"
for discussion at the next meeting,
to be held ut Seneca, the first Satur-
day in March, Mr.. Stokes Stribling
and Miss Lucy Stribing to lead in
the discussion.

High Moral Ideas.

If the Republican leaders would
all initiate Speaker Reed and boldly
announce that they arc gang of rcck-
less rascals, determined to carry
things their own way and promote
their own ends at any cost to the
country, they would command more
respect of those who know them
than they now do. The prctencc of
respcctability, morality and sanctity
with which they cndcavor to cover
their wickcdness makes them en-
tircly dcspicablc and adds contempt
to the hate the honest and thinking
people feel toward them rs their
real motives and methods become
known
The latest discovery of the inner
working of the party of high moral
ideas is made in Brooklyn and comes
from "Al." Daggctt, the Republican
boss of Kings county. Daggctt was
backing a banker named Baldwin for
Chairman of the Republican General
Committee. The opposing candi-
date, Franklin Woodruff, ware
houscman and representative of
"purc politics." as understood by
Brooklyn Republicans, was backed
by the Federal administration.
Daggctt had 50 pulled the wires to
secure clear majority Of the dele
gates elected by Baldwin. There
upon Woodruff and his managers,
with the active help of Secretary
Tracy, proceeded to buy over Bald
win delegates with Federal Offices.
Ten of these delegates who were
elected to vote for Baldwin have
been appointed to places in various
departments and voted and worked
for Woodruff.
Daggctt confesscs that he gave one
man who controlled ten votes his
notes-endorscd by State Senator
Birkctt-for $4,000, on condition
that he would use his influence for
Baldwin. The recipient of these IA
vors-a local Republican magnatc--
then proceeded to sell out to Wood
ruff, who stole the notes from him
and cndcavorcd to use them to
frightcn Dagectt so that he would
withdraw Baldwin.
The feature of the affair which
concerns the public is that the Fed
al administration, which prctcnds
to represent the intelligence and
morality of the country, took active
part in the peculiarly foul mess and
a Cabinet officer readily supplied all
the appointmcnts--thcoreticaily in
tended for the public scrvicc-nccded
to bribc men TO break their words,
bctray their trusts and vote against
the man they were chosen to vote
for G,eenUiUe Nea0S.

True Inwartincss Of Speaker Reeds
Ruling.

Last Wednesday in the lower
House of Congress, lively parlia-
mcntary discussion was cngcndcrcd
ny the attempt of the Republicans
to call up contested election case
from West Virginia. The Clerk, on
the roll call, announced that only
one hundred and sixty-thrcc mem
bcrs had voted, which was two short
of a quorum for the transaction Of
business. The Democrats, though
present in person, refused to vote,
and under the rules and prcccdcnts
which have been in force ever since
the foundation of the government,
they could thus have prevented the
calling up OF the election case.
Speaker Reed, however, was equal
to the emergency, and as he saw
more than one hundred and
sixty-thrcc Congressman in their
seats, he quietly announced that Il
quorum was present. The Demo
Gratis, OF course, protested in the
most vigorous terms, against this
unwarrantcd assumption of authority
on the part Of the presiding officer.
But "night makes right" ii, politics,
and Speaker Reed triumphcd. The

Hard Times for the Trusts.
BETWEEN spREcKELs AND THE
COURTS THE MONOPOLY
IS DEAD.

Brokers and speculators who went
down to Wall Street yesterday OK
pecting to see a repetition of Mon.
days excited movements in Sugar
Refineries certificates were doomed
to disappointment. The trading
amounted to only $4,000 shares,
against $4,000 the day before, and
the fluctuations were confined within
narrow limits. The price after open
ing a point higher, at 65, declined to
838 and closed at Cd, with a good
deal of quiet selling to realize the
profits of the late advance.
Boston having gorged itself, is
now awaiting market here to unload
on, but in this city, where some
accurate knowledge is had of the
hostility of the courts and the deter
mination that in New York State at
least, the sugar monopoly shall be
discontinued, there is no anxiety to
take Boston's loan. The case for q
receiver comes up before Judge Bar
rctt, February /, and it is highly
probable that representative of the
courts will wind up the trust affairs.
Whether the IIavcmeyers stay in or
go out of the trust will not effect
the action of Congress nor sway the
Judgment of the courts,
1t is an open secret that the trust

barrels a day in consequence of the
settling of his building and other
drawbacks incident to a new refinery;
but he announces that in week or
two he will double the output, and
his plant when completed will be
equal to an output of 10000 barrels
day. Moreover, with every new
appliance and invention he will be
able to make sugar cheaper than
any other retncr in America.-.Ncac

The Only One In America.

James H. Drake, saysfhe St. Paul
Pioneer Press, possesses a very
unique scarf-pin. It is nothing more
or less than a knight of the Garter
pin, of which there are none in this
country with this exception, and
but thirty-two in all England. The
pattern is a garter of blue enamel,
on which there are the well-known
words in gilt lettering, surmounted
by cross whose points are set with
diamonds. Some years ago Mr..
Drake entertained party of Eng
lish capitalists in the Northwest:
among whom was the Duke of Suth-
erland. When they took their de-
parture, greatly pleased with their
visit, the Duke drew the pin from
his cravat and placed it in Mr..

Needles and Thread.

On the plains of New Mexico are
forests of a growth known as thread
and needle trees, says the New York
Telegram. The tree partakes of the
nature of the gigantic asparagus
and has large, thick, heshy leaves,
resembling one of the cactus family
known as the "prickly pear" The
needles of the needle and thread
tree are set along the edges of these
thick leaves. In order to get equip
ped for sewing it is only necessary
to push the thorn or needle gently
backward into the heshy sheath
this to loose it from the tough out
side covering Of the leaf-and then
pull it from the socket. A hundred
fine fbers adhere to the thorn like
spider webs. By twisting the needle
during the drawing operation this
fiber can be drawn out to an indefi-
mite length. The action of the at
mosphere toughens the minute
threads amazingly, to such degree
as to make a thread twisted from it
no larger than a No. 40, capable of
sustaining a weight of five pounds,
about three times the tensile
strength of common 6-cord thread.
The scientific name of this foreign
wonder is Tentyana Mucadica.
