MEMORY Of OTHER DAYS.
Meeting 4 Carolina Woman in the Lost
River Country.

We had business with prominent
cattleman of Lost River country not
long ago, and rode up To little ranch
home 10 inquire ii it were known there
where we might find him. The raneher
was not at the house, but his wife par
italy opened the door in response to
our call and inquiry, and, from peep
ing posture, said:
I'm sorry stranger | can't tell you
where you'uus will find Mr.. A. We
are new corners, and can't keep up with
the people of this neighborhood yit
awhile.n
''You must be from the south land,
madam, If we judge you correctly by
your dialect we said, and she quickly
replied:
'Yes, yes sir, from Calina, North
Calina."
Aud to brighten her serious, sad APP
pearing and troubled face, we said:
''Calina is great state. We have
climbed its mountains, steamed up and
down Tar river, have eaten its grapes
and drunk its scuppernong wine, have
chewed rosin from its pineries and have
seen some of its women dip snuff, chew
tobacco and smoke corn cob pipes. It's
great state and we would like to visit
it again"
Then she threw the door wide open,
and stepped to the middle and with
elbows akimbo said:
You are right stranger, you are
right. Calina is a great state. | know
about its mountains, Tar river and
other rivers and the rosin and turpen-
tine You was talkin' about, and have
seen'm use tobacco as you said.n
Then we began to remind her of the
tea roses that grow so luxnriantly in
the gardens and of she thyme and the
hergamOt and the muskadines and the
hickory nuts and the pea nuts and the
wild grapes and the sweet williams and
the elders and the mistletoe and the
melons and sweet potatoes and the sing
ing schools and the swings in the lane
and the barbecues and the quiltin's ana
and the country weddin's and the May
day picuics, aud as our list grew she
began to descend the steps and approach
ms. and when near threw up both hand,
and said at high key:
''Them's the things what grows there
can seem all in my mind as if the,
was right here before me, right now
and wish 1 was right there to seen
with the naked eye agin. Stranger,
wish my old man was to home to hea
you talk like that. That's music to m.
SOUL
AND as we rode away she cried
,'Come back stranger, when wese all a
home. I'd ruther hear you talk abou
Calina than to hear gospel sermo
and the singing that goes with it. Hos
long will you be in the neighhorhood
Ill have my old man hunt you up, W
want to hear you talk more Calina
That brings back the sweet memory {
other days"

THE ROBERTS HEARING.
Debate in the House of the PoIygamist |
Cases.


Washington, Jan. 23.-The house
galleries were packed for the opening
of the debate in the Roberts case.
Three-fourths of those present were
women. Taylor, OF Ohio, chairman
of the special committee which inves-
tigated the case, opened the debate.
Washington. Jan. 23.-In the house
the opening debate on the case of
Roberts !, of Utah, Chairman Taylor be-
gan by citing at Chief Justice Waite
in the Reynolds case in rs, in which
the claim was made that polygamy
was religious practice. Waite de-
clared that under such circumstances
the government could but exist
only in name" Taylor also cited
Justice Matthews, in the Ramsey
case in 'S4, who declared that all po-
litical influence ought to be with
drawn from those who are hostile to
the esta blishment of a commonwealth
founded on the idea of family as
springing from union for life of one
man and one woman in the estate of
matrimony. Taylor declared the case
of Roberts presents the question of
governmental.life. the basis of which is
law. OF American citizens only
very small percentage believe in poly
gamy. He declared In order to make
Roberts eligible. the constitution
must be implied to read that any per-
son eligible as aEstate's representative
even though such person defies the
constitution and laws, denies their
validity and supremacy.
Littlefield, of Maine, then spoke in
behalf of the minority plan of seating,
and then expelling Roberts. and made
a vigorous presentation of the case.
