SCHOOL TROUBLES.
Two Sets of Teachers at Spring Valley, ILL.,

side peered at them through the fence

The new teachers hired by the Spring
VALLEY Coal Company faction of the
school board, many of whom do not
live here, have many things against
them. The old teachers, who were re-
instated by the anti-company men,
bers, seem to have the sympathy of the
Pupils. In many rooms the children
|refused to recite their lessons for the
NEW teachers. The fight between the
contesting janitors are also warm.

Special Correspondence.
HENDERSON, NORTH CAROLINA,
September 18th, 1897.

September 18th, 1897.
DEAR NEWS Places connected by
wire and steel rails, though separated
by thousands OF miles, are not far apart
after ali. Henderson must be over $500
miles from BIackfoot, and / can hear
from Blackfoot by wire in an hour and
by letter in four or five days. How close
the wires and rails bring Us together.
With these connections the Rocky
mountains and the A,leghanies and
Blue Ridge are mere partition fences
dividing the yards OF one section from
those OF another. And more than that
they make neighbors and acquaintances
OF all the people. During my short stay
here have had many enquiries about
Hon. Jas. w. Reid, of Lewiston, Idaho.
MANY OF this people know him. They
knew him when he was Carolina con-
gresham, and they speak affectionate-
IL and kindly Of him. They never fail
10 praise his speeches or to express
their admiration for his talents as an
orator.
While writing Of Mr.. Reid as an ora
tor. should not fail to say the Old
state has some brilliant orators at home
today. A few days ago l had the pleas
ure Of attending picnic given In honor
Of the old Confederate veterans OF the
county at which 5000 people were gath
cred. and the orators of the day made
the grove and welkin ring with their
matchless eloquence. One speaker
chose as his theme: "The lessons to
be learned from the war by reviewing
and studying the bravery OF our sol
diers and the heroism of our women
| IL was splendid theme full OF great
thoughts and living truths, theme
worthy OF the best efforts OF the geEius
OF man to fittingly portray in song OF
story, and as he measured up to hi'
subject, you in Idaho who love 10 hear
MIR. Reid would have said, he has M
advantage over this speaker In gifts o
oratory and eloquence.

remember the day as great day down
in old Carolina.
While writing Of Confederate re-
union Of such enthusiasm and magni-
tude. must tell you OF the sad fate of
q distinguished Carolina Confederate
General, T. L. Clingman. He was COM
mitted 70 the insane asylum at Morgan
ton few days ago, not from acute in
sanity but senility.
The old general is 81 years old. He
had served his State in the Legislature,
in the lower house Of congress, in the
U. S. Senate and was brigadier gen.
eral in the war of the States. Now aged,
infirm, poor, mentally and physically
gone, the State extends 70 him home
and its hand Of protecting care. Alas
What q sad end TO greatness, honor and
glory.
The weather has been unusually and
uncomfortably hot since my arrival
The heat has been too much for the
day and would extend far into the dead
hours of the night. A Klondike winter
day and Henderson September day,
mixed sshalf and half would make a
compound that would be charming
while it lasted. But then, the frosts
will soon be here. The roses are fading
and the gold is on the leaf.
The month Of September is the great
harvest month for tobacco and cotton
growers. and every planter is busy ''the
livelong day." The tobacco grower
must have his crops in the barns before
the frosts come and the cotton grower
wants the first opening picked before
the fall rains come and stain it. The
town of Henderson is almost depopu-
lated OF its negroes during the day as
they hire themselves TO work In the
harvest fields. But whether in their
cabins or in the cotton fields they are
the same happy race. Today / heard
q party Of pickers singing new words
TO Dixie. They are something like
these:
in Dixie's land. the land Of cotton.
Hard times am mos forgotten,
PICK away, pick away,
Pick away in de field Of cotton
Ever since I reached Carolina have
been In the midst Of genuine feast of
fruits and melons. My Idaho friends
are great lovers OF peaches and melons,
but they know nothing Of the rich flaw
or Of the luscious, juicy peaches and of
melons as find them here. And they
are in such profusion; fruit and melons
everywhere. It is too early IN the sea-
! son for nutting parties. When the
frosts come and the ground is covered
with dry and withered leaves, then
there is sport to which Idahoans are
total strangers. learned to love the
sport OF hunting nuts and sloes and wild
grapes In my first girlhood days and |
shall not miss the first opportunity to
indulge In that sport again. What q
great State Idaho would be II 1t could
have the fruits, melons and forests with
> their acorns, nuts and wild fruits that
r are found in Carolina and other South
ern States. But perhaps 1t is best for
us not 70 have everything we want, II

LOSS TO THE FARMERS.
New Hog Rules That Will Be
Very Costly,

The Kansas City Live Stock Ex-
change met Friday afternoon and
adopted a new set OF rules governing
understandable hogs. The new Kan
sas laws prohibiting dockages made
this necessary. The exchange issued
the following bulletin defining the
purport Of the new rules:
'ln view Of the fact that unmer-
chantable hogs in any lot offered for
sale hlnders the disposal Of the same
in that it impairs the value Of the lot
and therefore works injury to the in
terests of the owner, 1t is provided
that any sale or purchase as between
members Of this exchange shall be
made subject to an inspection made
for the purpose Of ascertaining and
separating from the lot any and all
understandable hogs. which shall be
disposed Of without any reduction Of
weight and sold upon their own
merits. This rule Of action will
govern the purchase and sale Of hogs
here until experience and observation
shall enable us to Improve the sys-
tem."
10 carry out and enforce these
rules force Of inspectors, one for
each scales, will be appointed and
charge Of fifteen cents per car will be
assessed to pay for them. All hogs
formerly docked will hereafter be
classed with crippled and diseased
hogs, and sold as such. This means
q great loss to farmers and will cost
Dickinson county alone thousands Of
dollars. 1t is one OF the beautiful re-
suits Of the Populist legislatures
work.
