Sam Jones 70 the Girls.

He Makes Short Talk at the Fe,
male College.
Columbia State,
The Rev Sam Jones was at the
Columbia Female College yesterday,
Thursday, October 29th, and dc
livered a short lecture to the young
ladies. His presence in the city was
generally known, having been an
nounced in the State, but the fact
that he was to talk was keep secret,
as it was intended only for the stu,
dents. He was tired and sat while
talking.
Diligence and truthfulness was the
subject on which he spoke. These
two characteristics were resiquite in
the right sort Of woman. If there
was one bad girl in the college at the
beginning of the year, her influence
would make several ones at the end.
A bad girl had the same effect on
other girls that one rotton potato bad
on a heap or pile Of potatoes.
The modest girl was the kind that
were loved by the young men and old
men alike. A modest girl was known
by the way she dressed. She but
toned the collar of her frock close
up to her neck. But these girls who
fasten the collars around the waist
won't do; for then she is getting in a
bad way. A girl should be as trans
parent as pane of glass. There
should be nothing secret about them
It seemed to him that all Ameri
can boys of this day thought about
was having good time and the only
thing girl thought OF was being
pretty little things. He pointed out
the temptations Of pretty woman
and then added that be did not think
there would be any danger to the
crowd before him on the score OF
beauty. Beauty was said to be skin
deep, and if that was the case, he
had seen many good sisters who were
so hard featured that skinning would
help them.
The biggest fool in this world is
the girl who would 60 back on her
good old mother, who had done so
much for her, and take after one OF
these little dudes. II girl was
told TO select from q row OF
sensible young men Of every profes-
sion and vocation, at the bottom OF
which was dude, who parted his
hair in the middle, wore red cravats
and tootbpick shoes, then the giddy
headed thing would fly at once tothe
dude. He was so irresistible, she
would say. If he was a girl and
married such a man, and coming
home and finding him out, would not
ask where he was, but would say
where is "it," meaning the dude.
But the highest type Of girl was
the one who stood by her mother.
These dime novel reading kind would
not do. Talk about cultivating the
brains of that girl would be as sensi-
BILE as talking of cultivating hole IN
the ground. Before concluding he
told them never to do anything with
out first asking if they would DO
that if mother was there II they
never did anything that they were
not willing for mother to know all
about, then they were good gills
That sort of boy or girl was, after
all, the best kind and in fact the only
true kind. It was always great
pleasure to him to see a girl treat
her mother gently, with love and re-
spect.
In conclusion he admonished girls
never to treat their mothers harshly.

The Trust Breaks.
Cation Ties Can Now be Purchased
at Reduced Rates.

Atlanta Constitution.
The high price of the trust tie has
at last been broken and cotton ties
can now be obtained at greatly re-
duced price.
The price was broken by the fact
that Western concern has begun
the manufacturing of the same ties
and are selling them at lower price
than that demanded by the trust.
The trust met the new price, and this
has caused the new ties to be cheaper
now than before.
The tie trust has been fought all
summer by the Commissioners OF
Agriculture and by the farmers
throughout the State. New ties
were invented but they failed to take
the place Of the trust ties, and the
old price continued to hold sway.
Late in the season tie that could
take the place of the trust was in
vented, but it's lateness caused it to
be of little use.
Mr.. Frank Davies, confidential man
to Mr.. w. w. Bierce, of New Orleans,
who has broken the trust price, was
in the city yesterday and was asked
about the matter Of causing the trust
to reduce its price on cotton ties.
"Yes," said Mr.. Davies, "Mr. Will
liam W. Bierce, of New Orleans, has
broken the high price of Gotten ties.
Mr.. Bierce manufactures cotton
congresses and comes in contact
with the cotton trade. Early IN
the season his correspondence was
flooded with requests for cotton ties
at reasonable prices. and finding all
the Eastern manufacturers were COM
bined and all quoting the same price,
or quoting no price at all until all
last years stocks were exhausted, be
set about to find some one who would
go into the business with him. And
it was no easy task, either. The
making of cotton ties is big busi-
ness to undertake, takes very ex-
tensive mill, but the Illinois Steel
Company with their thirty millions
of capital expressed themselves as
anxious and willing to go in the mar
ket.
The bagging trust Of couple of
wears since is still fresh in the minds
of the farmers, but had no comparl-
son to the enormity of the trust that
has recently forced the farmer to pay
exhorbitant prices for his require
ments.
"Why, the first day Mr.. Bierce
went upon the market the trust re-
duced their price 80 cents. The
trust was forcing prices higher and
holding their stocks until there were
no outside ties to be had, and then
proposed, and it was no open secret
either, to force the prices to sl.5O.
I'VE realize fully, as we'll as any
body, that we are late in getting into
this market for this season, but it is
beater to remedy existing evils no
matter how late the change may take
place.
The farmers have hard enough
time now to live without being COM
PEELED to pay more for an article than
it is actually worth, as they have
been doing in the case OF the cotton
ties.
And not only this" continued Mr..
Davies, "but the trust in a great
many of the cotton States We're COM
pelling the farmer to buy his bagging
