Ann Pamela Cunningham ,

Mrs. Loudie Norwood Speer, a
native C~arolinian, and the grand
daughter of the celebrated Able
william, Doctor Norwood of vera
trum fame, and herself the wife of
Mr.. George Speer, the influential
banker of LAGRANGE, Georgia, re-
marks in one of her correspondence
appropos of Miss Ann Pamela Cum
hingham--A chapter of the d. A.
Il. and also a society Of the G. A.
r.. have been named for Dolly
Madison because she saved the
Declaration Of independence from
the flames when the British in
vaded Washington, and yet none
has been named for Miss Ann
Pamela Cunningham who saved
the home and grave of George
Washington from spectators and
decay by years of labor and devo-
ton and who really was the first
person to arouse the people to
their duty, as regards the preser-
walton of everything associated
with the life and use of that great
and good man. She adds: "Just
think If Miss Cunningham had
been a New England woman what
honor would have been shown
her."
81 have recently met a great
many people from the New Eng
land section and can personally
testify as to their enthusiasm of
Miss Cunningham and her work.n
Mrs. Speer's suggestion was
taken end the La Grange Society
of the @. A. r. named their organ-
ization after the distinguished
daughter of South Carolina.
The La Grange Reporter of July
9th inst. has the following:
"The children of the American
Revolution celebrated the Fourth

There is a very ridiculous debate go
ing on between the Trustees Of Glenn
son and DR.. Tabor, Of the State Board
of Health. An epidemic OF typhoid
fever broke out and of a number of
students sick five died. This was no
great matter among 300 boys. The
cause is usually local and no man is
wise enough to locate it. 1t happens
every day and the wisest is unable to
find the locality of the pest. A similar
visitation may not affectthe locality in
a century. Tillman and DR., Tabor
should shut up.

Governor Ellerbe.

The constant nagging at the Cover

is worse than ugly-it is tiresome. 1t
is old straw. Let 1t be an issue

elsewhere said Congress should let 1t

he inherited from former administra-

If you have a loathing for food

SHORT STOPS.
what the People Are Saying.

w nat the <AAO AooSAho'
The question of foreign pauper and
contract immigration is revived, be-
cause of the recent activity of the
Federal authorities in making arrests
of foreigners arriving in violation of
our laws.
The placing of Mr.. r. V. Powderly
at the head of the labor and immigra-
ton bureau, gives emphasis to the de-
termination of the present administra-
ton to enforce the acts intended to
protect our laboring classes from for
eign pauper labor.
In the late kilograms we are inform
ed that a special government inspector
in Memphis, had arrested twenty-eight
alien stave-cutters, illegally brought
into this country under contract and
would go to Mississippi to arrest TWEEN
ty=three more. These people are in
telligent white men, and 1t is stated
that they will be deported back to
Austria at the expense of the steam
ship company that brought them.
Mr.. Powderly's attention is called to
Texas, the paradise of the pauper alien
labor from Mexico. 1t is estimated
that there are today in Texas over
10000 alien Mexicans, who are here in
violation of our labor and immigration
laws.
The twelve hundred miles of Mexican
border is unmatched except to catch
the heather Chinee.
These Mexicans cross over the river,
either on the bridges or by boat or
wade over, with nothing to their name
but a sugar loaf shaped hat and two
bits worth of clothing and Immediately
assume the grab of American suffra-
gans and furnish the cheap labor to
our railroads, to our contractors on
city jobs and to our cotton planters.
They are not only aliens in blood, in
language, but are illiterate and entirely
wanting in all the attributes of Ameri-
American citizens.
Yet these people are used to stuff
our ballot boxes with spurious votes
and to control our elections.
West Texas particularly is cursed by
Mexican cheap labor. If our labor
demand was open to white men, we
would gladly exchange the ignorant
Mexican peon for the intelligent Aus
trian.
Contract labor has been supplied
from the Mexican border by the hun
dred and it has never excited any at
tention from our United States author
ities.
Our labor associations have quietly
witnessed the invasion year after year
without a protest.
Our Federal court has held that the
Mexican Indian is entitled to United
States citizenship, no matter how IL
literate he is, or how ignorant of our
institutions.
OF course, it is all political. From
congressman down to constable they
are all afraid to touch the Mexican
alien-he is so convenient on election
day.
Mr.. Powderly's attention is called
to this matter.

THE MENDOCINo ASYLUM.
President Hatch of the State Lu-
macy Commission Visits It.

On the 4th of June, Dr. F. w. Hatcn
of the State Lunacy Commission paid
an official visit TO the MendocinO In
sane Asylum, and has finished his re
port, which will be submitted for the
approval of tine Commission AT the next
meeting.
AT the time of the visit 412 patients
were being accommodated at the in
stitution. The wards, according to
the report, were clean and we'll kept,
while the lavatories. closets. bedding.
clothing, etc, We're in good condition.
The patients appeared to be well tax
en- care Of and no complaints as to
food or attendance We're made.
In the opinion of DR.. Hatch the asy-
lum should have more land. There is
at the present time only 133 acres, and
he submits that more land would, if
properly farmed, materially cut down
the annual expense of the institution.
1t was further found that the pres
ent water supply is insufficient for do
mestic purposes, and wholly made
quate for eXtinguishing fires or for ir-
rigation. DR.. Hatch will recommend
that an eight-inch supply pipe be laid
from the dam to the asylum, which viii
he thinks, give sufficient water for
every purpose.
