WHAT THEY THINK OF IT.
The Cataract City Newspapers DO
Not Favor Going to Alaska Now.

Men are pouring into the Klondyke
country in alarming excess of sup
plies, and far beyond the capacity of
the steamer lines to take in merchan-
disc. The consequences can be easily
predicted. Before the next long Arc
tic winter is broken there will be
frightful suffering and destitution and
many an adventurous spirit will long
for the comforts and plenty of the
home land. 1t is great risk for men
of ample means to venture into the
new Ell Dorado. 1t is the widest folly
for men of restricted resources. .-Spo-
kane Spokesman Review.
It is, however foolish to think Of
going into the Northwest Territories
at this season of the year. Long be-
forerthe prospector or gold hunter can
arrive at Klondyke the winter will set
in aud winter there is far different
from what it is in these parts. The
mercury drops down to from 80 to 60
degrees below zero and remains there
for weeks at time. Daylight in the
winter months only lasts few min
utes each day and the nights are long,
cold and disagreeable. If the gold
fields are as rich as reported they will
be Just as good opportunities and prob
ably better then than there are at pres
ent. 1t never pays to throw prudence
to the winds even over such an inter
esting and exciting matter as gold. A
few months of waiting will not be a
bad thing, especially as the real and
definite facts as to the extent of the
gold fields have not yet been received.

Still Protesting.

The Register again refers to the fact tha
some printers copy from that paper without
giving credit.
We do not know who are the sinners in this
particular respect, but we believe that about
three times out Of four the country printer
makes mistake in copying anything
credit or no credit AS rule, pieces that are
copied to fill up country weekly paper, are
not half as interesting as local items or edito-
rails written on subjects which are ofinterest
to that particular community. A paper that
Is largely made ofpieces copied from other pa
pers cannot answer the demand for local
news. When a country paper makes It's edi-
tion country edition of the city dailies mis-
take las been made.
A daily newspaper that aspires TO be a
State paper can advantageously copy short
pieces from its country exchanges, as show
ing recognition OF the different communi-
ties, and editorials that are copied from the
country press may tend to show the trend OF
public sentiment.
We are unable to understand how any edi.
tor can object to the use of his matter by any
other editor. The fact that such matter Is
used by others often furnishes the best evil
dence that the borrower ought to do little
more hustling himself. II he worked more
he would have less occasion to borrow.

pie of Charleston. Now, If Charleston can see
any good in people up this way, we will be a
united and friendly people.
But Charleston ought not to expect US to ca
pitulate entirely. We will hardly do that.
You recollect the story about the lion and the
lamb lying down together-the lamb, 1t will be
remem bered, lay down inside. There are too
many Of US TO lie down inside Of Charleston.
We have hopes OF the Post. That editor
seems 10 be willing 10 leta little light into his
soul, and as socn as that editor and other
Charlestonians can recognize that there are
other people In the State than those living IN
Charleston, the. e.dawn Of a better. day will ben
eft us ALL When the Post investigates fairly
and impartially into the facts that paper will
learn to It's wonder and amaZem en- / that there
are very respectable people in the country
who don't eat rice.
If the Post cou Id once manage TO get into It's
head that it would be we'll for Charleston to
give the rest Of the State no cause for "abu-
sing" the city, it would be well.
We would not do like the Post in laying
down rules, but would suggest that herea fter
we don't rake up old things. Let the Post
recognize the rest of the State as people, and
for the sake OF harmony let the good old city
yield the externals which would lead US to
believe that the city would deal fairly with US
that fairness which is based upon the equal =
ity of citizenship with equal rights in every
respect.
Nobody has made war on Charleston, ex.
cept for cause-real or imaginary.

Suggestion.

If our esteemed brethren of the Georgia
press will now expend half as much ener-
gy In behalf of the convicts OF that State as
they have heretofore given to South Cardinals
whiskey business, they may be able to stop
brutal system of treatment of convicts which
has disgraced the State of Georgia for the last
few years.
II they will cease to intermeddle with our
whiskey, and sweep before their own doors as
to Georgia convicts, they might do good
work. We have plenty OF whIskey advocates
in South C,rolina, and the foreign stillers OF
cora liquor have many missionaries doing
their work In this State. But II the temper
ance people remain true to their nvictions
they will come out all right.

"Tru.hfully advertised and honorably con.
Quoted Is the motto that the Great Wallace
Shows claim to live up to. This tented ex-
hibition W III exhibit In Abbevile Tuesday,
November End, and If half of the promises set
forth by the management are true the Wal
lace Shows then deserve TO be classed with the
largest shows OF this kind in this country.
This aggregation has for the past Is years
toured the south and west, and their reputa-
ton In this section of the country is of the
very best. Each year the enterprise has en-
Joyed steady and healthy growth until. at
the present time, the pinnacle Of q shoHman's 8
ambition has been reached. 1t Is said that
over one thousand people are carried, 640 hor
ses, so cages and dens OF wild beasts, 100 prln-
cipal acts and spread OF canvas, that will
cover over II, 900 comfortable opera chairs.
The shows recently exhibited In Ashevile.
\. Z. The Gazette has among other good
things the following published in its editorial
columns:
After all, there Is nothing In the amusem en- t
line to excel the circus, especially such a cir
Gus as exhibited in this city yesterday. AS in
ancient days, IL Is the show for all the people.
Nearly all the people went TO II yesterday, or
came to town to see its charlots and horses and
bands, dromedaries elephants and Gagged
beasts and riders and athletes parade the
streets Barnum used To say that the people
"liked 10 be humbugged, y but the people have
been humbugged a good many times, and
they like 1t better now when in the circus the
element ofhumbug is lacking. 1t was lacking
In the circus that exhibited here yesterday.
The managers advertised the show as a
"mora" one, and 1t certrinly taught lesson
in morality, In being honest In fulfilling it's
promises and decent In all its features. This
was so noticeable as TO be praiseworthy.
Wallace S show, under its enormous spread OF
canvass, is certainly the acme OF the man,
moth exhibition that now goes under the
name OF circus. Every performer was spe-
cialist In his line, and showed to a wonderful
degree the capacity of the human body for de-
velopment to do extraordinary feats. This
was specially true ofthe Nelson family, whose
remarkable performances were ont OF the best
features of the show The entire family
CRANE father and grandmother, their sons and
their sons chidren-Were "born in the cir
Gus" their ancestors before them being aero
bats, and their feats of strength and agility
are the result OF constant training that began
In early infancy. In the Wallace show, the
people OF this vicinity saw the first genuine
horce racing under canvass, and the chariot
races were truly thrilling. Mr.. Wallace's cir
Gus is deserving of much praise for It's refine
ment, honesty, excellence and enterprise. It
Is certainly the best OF the great tented shows
that has visited Asheville.

The Term "Rebel.o

Every soldier Of the Lost Cause must fee
proud of any part which he may have taken
In the greatest of all the battles-those be-
tween the South and the North.
While we respect the prejudces and con-
victons OF those who object to the word "Re-
BEL" and while We fully believe in their pa
triotlsm and In their desire to honor those
who fought for the Lost Cause, yet, as far as
this editor Is concerned, we have no objection
to the word Rebel"
According to our way OF thinking 1t is the
word, above all others, OF which Southerners
should be proud. We ''rebelled" against &C.
tual or imaginary grievances, and NO people
ever fought with more determination or were
ever more true to their convictions.

part in which we acted, but have no word of
complaint to make against those who object
to the word, Rebel. The word rebellion" '"
carries with 1t the idea of honor In resisting
oppression, and we are willing TO be forever
counted as a Rebe against wrong. That word
could not be used, except with Idea that
wrong was being imposed, and that 1t was re-
sented.

The Charleston Post.

Among other things that the Charleston
Post said Monday of last week was the follow
ing:
Our Abbeville friend further remarks:
But, neighbor, suppose we bury the past.
and let the city of Charleston and the rest OF
the state become reconciled? Can't we have
peace9 You have been relieved of the metro
politan police. Why try to widen the breach
between the city and the people,"
This Is In better spirit and we must regard
ing the breach between the city and the rest
Of the stale and we have every desire for har-
mony, but before this can be fully reached
the Press and Banner and others of It's kind
must cease its abuses and Misrepresentation
OF our people and we must have in our state
offices men of tact, ability and common sense.
Press and Banner will join in An effort 10 Sc.
cure such consummation, we will have no
quarrel with 1t.
Now. you see our friend will quarrel. When
we propose peace between Charleston and the
rest of the State, he charges US with "abuses
and misrepresen tatious," without saying
that he would lay down his arms and treat the
rest OF the State fairly.
He further says:
1--WE must have in our State offices men OF
tact, ability and common sense, instead OF
demagogues and weaklings."
The Press and Banner doesn't agree with
the statements above. We think our State
officers have common sense, and that they
are neither demagogues nor weaklngs, but
why raise Issues OF that kind, neighbor?
Just such course Is what keeps up strife.
One OF the State officers at least is Charles
toms choice-the Adjutant General, for in
stance. But We will not quarrel, even If
Charleston has changed her mind in that par
iicuar,
Let US all be friendly, neighbor. 1t is so
much more pleasant to as all. Get your peo-
pie to 60 out amongst US now and then. Let

the EVIL Eyer
At O'Clock was in the sheriffs Office
by appointment as he had promised me
an interview with his two most famous
or rather Infamous prisoners. Little
knots OF men were gathered about the
Office and corridors discussing the posi-
BILE verdict, and, at desk, writing, sat a
man in uniform whom recognized as
Captain Methven, captain OF the Queens
county police, and whom had seen in
court with Thorn.
Presently the sheriff came and after a
a few words OF introduction said. Cap
tain, | want you to take this lady to see
Mrs. Mack and Thorn" The captain
rose with u smile, saying, Mrs. Mack
won't talk much for me She doesn't
like me, and you know" he added signi6-
cantly, "they say she has the evil eye"
The Jail 10 in the courthouse building,
and under the captains guidance soon
found myself in large comfortable cell
containing three cots, and face to face
with Martin Thorn's partner in crime

OF the many pictures have seen OF this
self-confessed murderess, none resembles
her. They either represent her az being
very handsome or hideous. She is neither.

considered a fine looking woman, and
one can easily fancy that she would iasci.

Her skin is very white and fine, and
there ia Iaint suggestion OF color in
her cheeks. No doubt in her days Of free
dom she was the possessor of good
fresh color, She looks no older than the
age she has giyen-thirty-eigh
Her face is full and round. 1t is ordi-
nary but pleasing, and shows her Ger
man origin. Her hair is very dark az are
her eyes. There is certainly something
peculiar about the latter. The lids are
drawn down at the inner corners, giving
the eyes a singular expression. It ia this
expression, no doubt, that has earned
for her the reputation of possessing the
evil eye.
She has one undeniable point OF beauty
and that is her neck which is round
plump and white as milk. Her upper
teeth are fine specimens OF the dentists
art and she has pleasing smile.
One sees no trace OF the criminal abou,
