the wicked prosper like green bay
tree" says David. An old darky
heard me say, II wonder what makes
the Lord smile on old Jim Wilkins so.
Jim is as mean as a dog, but every
trade he makes and everything he
touches tnrns into money. He uis
getting richer and richer every
year."
The old darky said: "Why, bess,
de Lord hain't got anything to do wild
Jim Wilkins. Lord haint. noticin
him. Lord dun give lin Up long tins

Providence spring. But it is nigh
ty strange to me that the Northern
people will let Goldwin Smith scandal
ize the founders of our government. I
thought tbat everybody North and
South idolized Washington and Jeffer-
son and Madison and Monroe. [
thought that everybody outside Of
Maseachusetts was proud of Patrick
Henry and Randolph and Henry Clay.
a:asnt know that Benedict Arnold
had an admirer or an apologizer North
or South or in England or anywhere.
dident know .aa: Goodwin Smith
was such q conspicuous historian uu-
til this last history appeared. Il ap-
pears that he is great favorite in
England and Canada and is contri-
butor to the leading magazines and CO.
editor of an English oyclopedia.
But we are making progress. Prov
idence spring! Those yankees say
that just in the nick Of time when
hope was nearly gone and despair had
set in for want Of water Providence
upheaved the ground and the water
gushed forth like it did when Moses
struck the rock with his rod. Mr..
Pillsbury, of Americus, an honorable
veteran, was there on guard aud says
the whole thing is made up lie, and
it can be proved 80 by many old citi-
zens of Sumter County. We will have
to nail that AnG .sonville lie to a
board and put it up at the forks Of
the,r ad. We will brand it when we
meet at Memphis. l want to meet
Colonel john Cussons there and thank
him for his little book. [ want every
|.yeteran to have one. The price is
only % cents, and it is worth ten
ltimes that much to have it in the
,house and refer to it sometimes when
we get cussin mad.
i. Providence spring! I'm going to
see if,Iscap.t, beat my nabors, Cary
and q arbroughand Corley and Mrs.
Fields, raising tomatoes. Mr.. Corley
Ehas put out only six plants and says
Eshey will givalhim twenty bushels Of
fruit. Ne. Yarbrough, the, preacher,
has six plauts He dug six wells
about TWO feet deep aud filed them up
with all sorts Of fertile and says he
will have wagon load. last year he
had eight on,one stem-all touching
each other, aud the eight weighed
twelve pounds! I've seen the photo
graph. ] We got out 1U0 plants and
am not done yet, and they laugh at
\ me, but want load or two to give
Away. My garden must keep me busy
1t won t do to sit .dosn and brood over
trouble aud slander and lies. / pick
strawberries every day, but I'm not
fond of the busineso. Have to stoop

FALSE ECONOMY.

The County Commissioners Of F1ko
county recently awarded the official
printing to the Wells Herald on a
competitive bid The other papers
bidding for the contract were the Elko
Independent and the Free Press. The
Independent is daily, the Herald
and the Free Press are weekles.
The awarding of the county Print
ing to a weekly paper published some
distance from the County seat, when
there are two other papersat the county
seat is very false economy. The
papers published at Elko issue six
times, where the Wells Herald issued
once. Therefore if the award was on
competitive bidding the bid Of the
Herald, all things considered was not
the lowest. Again the law provides
that certain county advertisements
should be published IN daily paper.
if there is one in the county.
e
to do about election time that
needs to be very carefully supervised.
The county clerk under the law at
tends to that and he must be close to
the office of the printer to read proof
and see that every thing is correct.
When this time comes he will have
to get o. train and go to Wells, a
long distance from the county seat,
and by the time he has gone back
ami forth few times the county will
discover that there has really been
no economy.
Again, if he decides to attend to
the matter by mail. and there is the
slightest mistake in the ticket, there
will be sure to be recount and a loI
OF litigation under the Australian
ballot law and this will cost more
There is but one place for the county
printing to be done and that is at th'
county seat, where the county officer
have their headquarters. and the Law
which compels county officers to liv'
at the county seat should also com2e
county organs to do the same.
For county organ the public is en-
titled to daily nnewspaper and on
published at the county seat.
The last Legislature was asked t
pass bill protecting the daily pres
from competition in bidding on count
work, but the members were to
obtuse in the matter Of printing t
see way to do it.
There seems to have been specis
legislation for everything last yea
but the press.
The County Commissioners of Elk
should have awarded the printing {
fair price to the paper that CORE!

$1oO0OO,OOO were paid yesterday bv corno-

tary centers of the country. The tota,
payments for the month will reach at lea Ct
$l7o,0OOOOO. As result of the great nav

yesterday broke all records, the totals he
ing $421,903, 600. This exceeds by Sti3 $50 :
40 the previous high record, made on
Thursday last.
These enormous exchanges were made by
the transfer of only 1864 600 in actual
cash. The clearing house system prevent
ed an amount Of detail which otherwise
would have paralyzed the entire financial
district yesterday. Under the system which
existed hundred years ago each bank
would have been compelled to send a sena-
rate messenger to each of the other si,tty-
two banks with currency and checks. while
the same messenger would have also had TO
collect the money due from each bank.
without clearing house It would prob
ably have taken several days to carry out
transactions completed yesterday In forty.

FEDERATION HAS ADJOURNED
After Deciding the Autonomy Question
md Re- Eiecting the Old Officers.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 16.-The Fedora
ton of Labor. in the last minutes OF
Saturday afternoons session put itself
on record ON two questions which have
been agitating the delegates, namely
trade autonomy and socialism. The
special committee on autonomy recon-
mended that where there are only a
few craftsmen in large industrial
concern the best interests of all would
be conserved by the few joining the
paramount organization in such estab-
lishment, and the organization of sub
divided crafts into district and national
trade councils, where all disputes
should be settled.
The recommendations Of the COM
mittee, to the surprise of many, were
unanimously adopted without single
remark being made by any one. The
report antagoniZed socialism by vigor-
ously unfolding trades unionism, and
the Socialist delegates did not antagon.
ize the report. All the old officers
were reelected.
At the night session many reports
We're presented and disposed of, and
the convention adjourned sine die at
1915 H. m. yesterday.

He took him out to the summer kitch

neatly folded and tied with string.
There" he said. "are all the paper

stores and other places. have had
your mother save them for you Every

Rain Comes Down and the Rivers Go Up
Great Property Loss.
Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 16.-While the
country west of Ohio and also south
of that state nearly to the gulf was
shivering in an arctic blast Pennsyl-
vania has been deluged with rain; her
rivers are booming, her towns and val
leys flooded and no end of trouble and
loss of property provided for the farm
er, the city man and the railways
these last especially. The rain ex-
tended into West Virginia, New York,
Virginia and Maryland, and it would
require columns of space to detail the
damage, which will mount up to mil
lions OF dollars. Four lives are known
to have been lost
The river at Pittsburg is above the
danger line and a big flood on the
Ohio Is expected. The rise has been
so rapid that it has caught the coal
men with their fleets in q bad fix, and
yesterday seventy-fve empty coal
barges and fifty loaded boats Of the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke company, which were tied up
at Browns Landing, broke loose and
were whirled away by the swift cur
rent. They went over the Davis ISL
and dam and did a lot of damage
there; some of them were sunk strik-
ing the piers of bridges; but most of
them when last heard from were still
going down the river.
