the day appointed for the moving.
Bright and early there came four la Dor
ers and a smell of beer to the Hyde
Park fiat. They had big wagon and
iron-shod shoes, and they awakened the
man Of vested authority. Then they
hogan to pull things to pieces and scat
ter the bits on the sidewalk after the
manner of furniture movers From
force of habit the man of authority
stood around and bossed the job until
the four laborers got mad and went out
to get q drink. The man got madden
waiting for them to come back. When
they came back they had an air Of indie
'pendence and several ropes with which
they raked down few pictures and en-
tangled the baby.
Then the man in authority stood
up and spoke, while the laborers
listened in silent awe. When he
stopped for breath they fled out on tip
toe, remarking that q man who could
talk like that was to be respected. The
man waited for them TO return, but
they never came back, and the hoof'
beats of their team melted in the dis
tance. He telepEOned the warehouse.
but the man there had nothing TO say.
He tried to hire another set Of laborers
and another wagon in the intervals OF
driving the neighborhood children of
the parlor furniture, but he couldn't
lure workingman into the house. Be-
ing resourceful and mad he went into
the alley and found wheelbarrow. 1t
was not far to the new house, and at
the last report he was wheeling load
of furniture down Lake avenue with
baby perched on top and the family dog
,trotting contente6ly alongside.

There is talk of higher prices for
shoes and straw hats. The man who
thinks of wearing a straw hat during
the heated time this summer is al
ready trying to make up his mind what
kind OF hat he viii wear and what the
style viii be.
Some people wear straw hats and
everybody wears shoes. and they are
quite an item in the years expenses,
particularly the shoes. There is, there
fore, nothing fascinating in the re-
ports in the newspapers that the China
Japan war will cause higher prices
for straw goods, that most of the straw
used in this country to make straw
hats is raised and prepared in China
and Japan. Then every day people
have it pOked under their noses that
beef has gone sky high and ultimately
shoes must follow suit in the upward
flight.
The price of what we have to buy
effects the profits at the end of the
year quite as much as the size of the
income and consequently people are al
ways interested in the price Of shoes
if they do not lay awake of night study
in the price of straw goods.
What have the people of Kansas and
Oklahoma done that they should be
punished by being compelled to pay
a higher price for straw hat just be-
cause China and Japan chose to get
up a scrap and go to shooting; and
why should the same people now be-
compelled 10 pay higher prices for
shoes after they have been for many
alls IA fnf al
These are the questions the people of
this section are asking, and in order
to answer them a reporter for the
Eagle yesterday called on some of the
prominent dealers in shoes and straw
goods and propounded the question.
How about China-Japan war and
straw hats?" That was the first ques-
ton, and the next was: How about the
beef trust and the price of shoes %
1t is rather remarkable the similari-
ty OF their answers. If the reporter
had not absolutely known different he
would have supposed that they had
held a caucus and agreed upon line
of answers. On the other hand it
shows that these merchants are onto
thesr job. In other words they under
stand their business.
The following are the answers of the
men 10 the above questions:

day that leather is going up. | can not

New York Capitalists Watching Col.
Boone's Movements.

Mr.. Charles j. Pogue was the hand
soonest looking man on the streets yester-
day. He is Just back from Washington
and New York and was logged in an up
to-date fashion. Hesaid he was surprised
to learn how universally known Col.
Boone is in both Washington and New
York, and the fact that he is engaged in
a railroad enterprise. 1t is solemn fact
that heavy capitalists are keeping both
ewes on Boone and his enterprise. They
consider him one of the most successful
railway promoters in America and un-
hesitatingly say so, and they are as contl-
dent as Boone himself seems to be that
he will put the road to full realization.
They understand that if his road is 90
that it means the L. & n. for Knoxville
also, and that future promise of the Mar
BILE City is very bright indeed.
But the most encouraging and interest
ing man be met was gentleman from
Anderson. S. C.. He met him on train
and he said that when the people in South
Carolina heard how unanimously they
had voted 100000 of shares Of stock to
Boones enterprise, they simply went
wild all along the line. Judging from
past experiences, dating over century
of time, they feared old Knoxville would
not wake up ana enuOrSe tne ne" oppui
tunity presented by Boone, and that the
enterprise would be blocked BY apathy
and self contentment on this side of the
mountains. So the result of the city and
county elections on the Boone promoting
fund set them on fire with enthusiasm as
they have never been before.
Capitalists and railroad men in the East,
by the way, do not regard Boone's double
track scheme as it is regarded by people
in Knoxville. Railroads are doubling
tracks everywhere, and all the best roads
in tho East are already double-tracked.
Railroad men realize that the cheapest
plan for railway construction from now
on is to build double track at the start.
Boone, being thoroughly up-to.date in
such matters, has merely sprung an en-
terprise little bigger than the people
through whose country 1t will operate
can comprehend and consequently dis:
credit. a double track right of way will
command railroad capital much more
readily than single track enterprise.
Mr.. Pogue says that any Knoxville
man may, by visit among Eastern capi.
talists, become thoroughly convinced
that il Boone's plans culminate there will
follow period of developments in this
section of the South which will mark an
era in our history.-Kno1Utue Tribune,

Making Ready for Atlanta.

COLUMBIA, July 1S.-Commisaioner
Roche has gotten the machinery for MAX
ing creditable exhibit for the Atlanta
Exposition in good working order. He
has had sucha large and varied expert
ence that he knows exactly how and
when to act, and he is now satisfied, after
careful review of the prospects and per-
sonal visits to all parts Of the State, that
South Carolina will have creditable e1-
hibit.
The preliminary work has been we'll
done, aud the remainder of the work will
have to be done in Columb bia and Atlanta
for the most part. To-day's express
brought in some splendid sheaf oats from
Mr.. w. s. Sanders, of Ninety-Six, and
some fine apples from Mr.. M. r. Speig-
ner. A most encouraging letter was
also received from Mr.. s. Y. Stribling,
announcing that Oconee County could be
counted upon to do her share, and that a
fine exhibit was now being prepared.
Lexington County sent in to-day por-
ton of its cash assessment to Mr.. w. A.
Clark, chairman of the finance commit
tee.
Commissioner Roche sent out to-day
the following circular letter to, the COM
missioners of the various counties, and 1t
indicates what arrangements have been
made with the railroads for the free trans
portation of articles for the exhibit:
"Dear Sir: I have established head
quarters in this city and am now ready
to receive contributions to the State ex-
hibit at the Atlanta Exposition. Please
advise me what articles may be expected
from your County and the approximate
quantities of each that will be sent
am especially anxious to receive at an
early date specimens Of woods and min
erals, as they will have to be prepared
for exhibition. Specimens of building
stones, especially granite, must be large
enough to be dressed to cubes Of eight
inches. Ihave arranged with the railroad
companies to bring to Columbia free of
charge all articles intended for the ex-
hibit and addressed to me as commits
sioner. Perishable articles, such as fruit,
should, however, be sent by express col
lect. mail you package Of shipping
tags to facilitate you in your work.
Please SEQ that the blanks are properly
filled out before shipping.
: "Itis extremely important that should
receive full and early information as to
what your County will do towards max
ing the State exhibit a success, and l
will, therefore, be obliged to you ifyou
will communicate with me at your earli-
est convenience. Yours very truly,

The passage of the Jews through the
Red sea is now explained in manner
which takes that event out of the list of
miracles. General Tulloch, it appears,
has recently been conducting survey for
the British government of that part Of
Egypt through which the route of the
exodus was laid, and in one of his reports
he tells of storm which occurred last
spring and which reproduced almost
identically the conditions under which
the Jews are described in the scripture as
having escaped from Egypt into the
promised land. He says the wind was 30
terrific that within few hours the waters
had been swept away out of sight, leaving
the vessels stranded high and dry and the
sand exposed 30 that an army might have
walked across in perfect safety.

Poor Mrs. Leland Stanford. widow

Poor Mrs. Leland Stanford, widow
of the California senator, has made bad
break. In her desire to help good cause,
she recently offered to dispose of l 900, 900
gallons of brandy from her vineyard for
the benefit of the Stanford university.
This has drawn upon her the censure Of
the Chicago preachers. "Her excuse that
it will be used for medicinal purposes is
a mask, ;" declared the Rev. G.. L. Mitchell,
of Calvary Presbyterian church. IA
nice college, indeed, to send young men
to! Do you think any professor would
dare advocate temperance there? I most
certainly would oppose sending any
Christian youth to a college supported by
the sale Of liquor" At a ministers
meeting resolution was adopted con-
demning Mrs. Stanford's course. The
brandy will now be destroyed, and the
young men in California who want an
education will have to hustle for it.

&c. The Constitution was framed in
March, 1868, and in April following
was ratified by those who were quail
ified to vote. This candidate further
claimed that a number of States in
the Union had framed their Constitu-
tions end adopted them without submit
ting them to the people for ratification,
but when pressed to name then he could
not do so. We have took some pains to
carefully investigate the question and have
consulted some of the oldest members of
the Anderson Bar (who should be good
authority, and they tell as that they
never heard of State Constitution being
adopted without being ratified by the
people. Such thing is against Repub-
lican form of government; it is strike
at the liberties of the people who COM
pose the government. Tillman, Irby
& Co., however, have decreed that the
Constitution to be framed for South
Carolina next September shall not be
referred to the people for ratification. and
all the candidates who are running in the
primary election, we are told, are on that
platform. This is serious matter, and
our people should think about it. Shall
We entrust all Of our rights, liberties,
property and even cur lives to few men
who shall make the fundamental laws to
govern us for perhaps generations to
come? No, never. tits too much power
to delegate to any set of men, no matter
how upright and honorable they may be.
The men who will compose the Ccnstitu-
tional nCovention are the servants of the
people, and the people have right to
pass judgment upon their work. If the
men who are elected to the Convention
frame just, equitable and honest Con-
stitution, there need be no fear that 1t
will not receive the support and vote Of
every true CarOlinian.
