The Old Plantation. +"

"How we lived in the Great House and
how we lived in the Cabin in the South be-
fore the war. The Old Plantation, by James
Battle Avirett, of North Carolina, author of
Ashby and His Compeers, &C., with an in

d., chief surgeon to Stonewall Jackson
l2mo cloth, illustrated with portrait of the
author. $780,"
This book, written by the son of one of
the largest planters and slave owners in
Eastern North Carolina before the war, is
one OF the most important contributions to
the history OF the ante-belum period la the
Southern States.
1t does not descend to argument In de.
tense OF the Southern planter and his home
life at that time, but with faithful hand pre-.
sents picture ever true of the life among
these people as il really was.
1t is full of humor, and Its fund of anec.
dotes is almost inexhaustible. The charac.
ters of Daddy Cain" "Uncle Amos" "Old
Uncle Philip" and "Mammy Ferrebee" rank
ing in faithfulness of portraIture and pathos,
blent with humor, alongside the "Uncle Ed
lnbor" of Thomas Nelson Page and "The
Cute" of John Uri Lloyd.
With the humor runs serious vein which
shows the seamy side of the old planters
life, and its constant care to provide for and
regulate his family OF over "three hundred
grown-up children" as the author tenderly
calls the slaves.
There are side lights. too, on the politics
of the period, but no attempt to intro duce
them or argue the correctness of any per.
sons theory.
The great charm of the book is Its fidelity
to facts and these stubborn things" as Mr..
Grandgrind calls them, are what furnish In
this book the most effective answer ever
written to those who have traduced the ante.

Mrs Mary Il. Haslup, President Of the

A meeting at Spencervile on the 231 and
one at COlesvlle on the oath were well at

nights, as was also an afternoon meeting
with the Sandy Spring local Union.
Her presence at the Anti Saloon League,
at Brighton, on Saturday, was most welcome
Sunday her work at Brookevile and Oh

On Monday, the Goth, Mrs. Haslup, Mrs

from Sandy Spring to Potomac, where an
interesting parlor meeting was held in the
home of Mrs. Stone, Of that place.
They returned to Rockville, and Mrs.
Haslup spoke in the evening most effectively
to large audience in the Methodist church.
Her familiarity with the work in all its
departments, no less than her deep spiritual

Great Falls Power Project.

State Treasurer Murray Vandiver and
State Comptroller Joshua Herring, repre-
senting the State Board of Public Works, on
Tuesday sent telegram to Judge Edward
Stake, of Washington county, requesting
him to withhold his decision in reference to
tain water rights along the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal to the Great Falls Power Com.
pany.
State Treasurer Vandver, speaking of
this move on the part of the State Board of
Public Works, said;
ave have had our attention called to the
proposed lease OF certain water rights along
the Great Falls, for which the Great Falls
Power Company has offered the trustees
now operating the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal the sum of $4,000. We have care
fully looked into this matter, and | am of
the opinion that the rights sought by the
company are worth much more money than
it offers. Governor Smith was absent to
day, and we have arranged to hold meet,
ing of the board early next week, at which
the matter will be carefully scrutinized,
and such action will lie taken, am sure,
as will be to the best interests of the State"
One of the attorneys representing the OPP
posing bidders said 1.-THE syndicate which
represent is headed by Mr. James f. Nc
Laughlin, of Toronto, Canada, and is com.
posed of number of well-known capital
lists The rights we seek, to dam the water
above the Great Falls, are to be used for lie.
climate business purposes, and for this right
we are willing to pay the sum of 100000.
Should we be granted the privilege, we will
erect steel dam across these waters for the
purpose of generating electricity. This cleo
tricity we propose to carry to Washington
and to other points We feel confident that
we will be able TO generate at least 10000
horse power 1t will cost 81 100000 to 49,
100000 to put this plan into execution. The
capital has already been secured, and if we
can Obtain the lease work will be started at
once"
The Great Falls Power Company is rep
resented by Mr.. A. Lieb as president and
Mr.. James A. Lackey secretary. They pro-
pose TO operate under charter secured at
the session of the General Assembly Of 1894,

On delivery Phillips took 2 500, 900 bushels
of May corn and 100000 bushels of May

the corn and oats he took 10 day, and such
action will likely place him in almost ALSO

The Coal Combine.

The New York World claims to have dis
covered that the community of in terests''
in the anthracite cOaf trade will result in a
gradual advance of 81 a ton in the price OF
anthracite coal. Fortunately the time is
almost at hand when the average consumer
OF coal can extinguish the fire in his stove
or furnace and contemplate a rise in the
price of coal with unshakable equanimity {.
According to the World the men who con
troll the Anthracite Coal Trust have decided
to add $75,0O0,00 to their profits. One
third OF this sum they will gain through
methods OF economy. The remaining $780,
100000 will be taken out of the pockets of
consumers. Winter prices are TO be charged
throughout the summer 10 New York, and
as the community Of interests" controls 80
per cent. of the output OF anthracite, the
consumer is helpless, and must simply grin

ers had their coal put in at 81 rs ton during
the summer months. THIS rate prevailed
throughout August. when the price this year

tor of the OoH TRUE Journal, is quoted by
the World as stating that "the advance shown
by the circulars Of retailers is startling The
trade is in stronger hands than ever before
and the men in control can make winter
prices the year round If they wish" The
Community of interests" principle is not
one of which the American people will long

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance Of our uncle, Jas
Wbalen, who died at Layhlll on March %
1901, aged so years, a months and IL days.
Gone from his home forever,
Gone IL the one we love,
But God has said in the Book Of Lie
That we shall meet above.
Death came TO him like thiel In the night,
And broke the thread Of life,
And called him 10 that happy land,
Away from this world OF strife.
The angel of death Is lowering near,
AS through ths world we roam,
We ought 10 be ready when the message is
sent,
Bidding us now 10 come home.
Twas hard, 80 hard, 10 part from thee,
And lay thee down 10 rest,
But we must lift our hearts to God,
Who knoweth all things best.
For lie can heal the broken heart
And soothe the aching breast,
For in His holy word He says,
Come unto me and rest
We know the home Is lonely now
Without an uncle's love,
But we must bear our burden here,
And hope TO meet above.
Weep not, dear friends, for he Is free
From earthly pain and care,
For in the land where angels dwell
There'l be no sorrow there.
