bought for three dollars, and
charged to the state at sixty, the
surplus ffty-seven dollars going
into the pocket Of some brawny
politician from the cotton or rice

So, then, there was a strong de
sire, on the part of the delegates
to the convention TO rcpress or
minimize the negro vote. Hence,
they were not satisfied to make a
property and an educational quail
fication simply, but they defined
what the education must bo-not
merely to own three hundred dol
lars worth of taxable property
and be able to read any clause of
the constitution, but also to I'M
derstand it. This was the pivotal
point, and just here the fight was
made.

The law may seem cruel and un-

vinced that it will be blessing to
him IN the end, and twenty years
hence the Negroes franchise will
be as universal as the white man S.
But twenty years hence-what
will the white man do then, if he
finds that there are as many black
voters as there are white? Will
it be necessary to call another
constitutional convention, and
change the law, SO as to continue
to keep down the negro voter The
answer given is, No. the white
man will be willing for the negro
to vote as soon as he has the
double qualification of being in
telligent and property holder.

could scrape blueino from human
countenances. and it looked like it
was so. Cotton was selling at
four and five cents, corn was
scarce, and it really seemed that
the end of all things was ar hand.
Under the combined influence of
dobt and despair, the farmers
sowed their seed in the spring.
Having planted it in that expecta-
ton, be lived accordingly, and
multitudes have come to rejoice
over the enforced economy of '05.
Expecting to have but little money
at the end of the year, they spent
but little, and incurred very few
debts. To find now that cotton
brings eight cents, instead Of five,
has put a new aspect on every
thing, and there is life in the old
land yet For nearly two years
the farmers have bought no cloth
ing, nor blankets, nor shoes; but
now they are supplying themselves
freely, and the dry-goods men are
hardly able to keep stocks suffi-
c1ent to supply the demand.
Meanwhile the great constitu-
tional convention has been drag
ging itself along from week to week,
as if it intended to do something
before it adjourned. The liquor
law has been SO far fixed as to
make it unlawful ever again to sell
the article in this state, except in
half pints, That virtually abolishes
the old-time barroom and the des-
tructive custom of treating at the
bars. Surely this is a good long
step towards better things.
The knotty question before our
Solons was the law of suffrage.
AT once it was decreed that
women could not vote. The only
argument | haYe heard of as be-
ing used against it was that they
have never voted, and hence must
not now begin. That was clinch-
er with many, and there was moth
ing beyond it. The same argu-
ment held good when the Solons
came to the question of divorce.
They all agreed that our Lord had
said that there was one ground for
granting divorce; but no matter
what the Lord had said, South
Carolina had said something else
during many years, and SO Christ's
teachings were set aide in order
that we might maintain our pres
tige and the reputation we had
won in the past.
But the general suffrage
was the rub. You may have

The following is a story of Abraham
Lincoln which, if it is not true-as il
probably is not-is at least entitled To q
place in legendary literature: Lincoln
was once riding along lonely road
when an i'll looking man, who held a

What do you want, my friend?"
Lincoln asked.
I am going to shoot you, a" answered
the man.
We'll, " said Lincoln, 81 don't mind
being killed, but should like to know
your reasons.

are, then for PHYS sake shoot!'

A STOLEN SECRET.
How Minister Jewell Learned to Mako
Russia Leather.

Russia Leather.
Jewell. like all men brought up to
learn trade, and who afterward gained
prominence in affairs, made now and
then unconscious revelations of his early
training. During one of the campaigns
in which he was engaged he found him
self at a country hotel where the table
was bOunteOus, but the rooms few and
small 1t was necessary i'll order that the
whole party might be housed for each
bed to be occupied by two persons. The
governors roommate was a young poll
tician, who could not hide his surprise
when the governor just before retiring
rolled the sleeves of his night shirt even
as far up as his shoulders, and then
bathcd his arms in cold water
You wonder why 1 do this" said
the governor well, l couldn't sleep
unless 1 did When 1 was a youngster
learning the tanners trade, / used TO
have my arms in the watts all day long,
and at night my skin would smart as
though 1 had been stung by nettles. /
could not bear to have any cloth touch
them So / got the habit Of rolling my
shirt sleeves as far rs could, and thus
l have slept ever since. -
When Jewell was minister to Russia,
he played Yankee trick upon the Rus
slams, the benefits Of which we are reap
ing even to this day III this country.
Like every other American tanner, he
had long wanted to know the secret Of
the process of manufacturing Russian
leather BE had experimental with n
few dollars himself, only to learn that
the secret was not to be discovered.
When at the court Of st. Petersburg
he profeSSed great interest in Russian
industries and was shown through many
of the manufactures there. By and by
there came an opportunity to go through
a factory where Russia leather was man
ufactured. Jewell was all smiles and
ccurtesies and seemed profoundly inter
ested in those things which really did
not interest him and wholly blind to the
very things he went TO that place TO
see. But he was not so blind as they
thought. When he came out of that fac.
tory, he had discovered, rs he believed,
the process, and he brought the diScOv-
cry back to this country with him, sd
that by and by the United States began
to turn out a very good article of leather
resembling the Russian product. Phil

A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story of General Jackson's Cotton Bale
BreastwOrks a Pleasing Fiction.

The Story of General Jackson's Cotton Bale
Breastworks Pleasing Fiction.
There are few Of the schoolboys Of
several generations preceding the pres
ent who do not remember being taught
that General jackson won the battle OF
New Orleans by throwing up breast
work Of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
a dramatic account Of this was in all
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty of the affair appealed
vividly to the imagination. The cold
facts Of later history prove this all to
have been fiction. Henry Adams in his
history of Madison 5 administration, de
scribes the battle of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature McMastcr,
III his latest volume. refers to the story
in note only To say that there We're two
or three cotton bales used III one place.
and they We're either set ON fire OF
knocked out at once
JacksOn's line of breastworks was of
earth irregularly thrown up and Of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpShooters of Inc west did great work
as marksmcn behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the American line.
The schoolbOok story used to be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded. McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded at 20. The Brit
ish, 1t seems, Were not all repulsed ac-
corCling to the popular story. The right
line Of the American troops was drive
