A MORAL TALE
With An Application Which Henry
v. VIII Easily Comprehend

Once upon a time and not so long time
ago there was an old foggie who had
been what is called in the Bible a scribe;
she was in the business Of jollying people
on some days and kicking them on others.
That is the business Of scribes.
After many years when she had gotten
still older and so old that she could not
work vigorously as she did when she was
young and handsome. she heard some one
use the word strenuous-and she marvelled
for she knew not from her inner self what
1t actually meant aud she found that she
was losing her influence. In one of her
growing fits one day when there was no
one at home she thought she would put a
pin in the bubble of the understudy for the
leading man did not care; he did not like
the understudy but had to put up with him
for the manager said so. Then the star quit
the job and the understudy came in for his
share of the press criticism. But the new
star was a hummer and Of the FIRST magni-
tude, and he knew how to ride horseback
and act streuuously He did not like the
cruel words of the old woman, but when the
gentle mists had settled over the river he
found that the old woman had fed aud re-
fused to say anything about the statements
she had made. Aud thus ended the story
about the old woman, who did not live
happy ever afterward.

The Zebu Cattle at the Zoo and Their
Superiority.

A representative of the GLOBE went
through the Zoo a few days ago with Or.
Burdette of east Tennessee who was at
tending the recent surgeons convention
here
He was accompanied by his beautiful
and accomplished daughter, Miss Harriet
Burdette, as fine a specimen of feminine
loveliness as even Tennessee, famed for
the beauty of its daughters, can produce.
The sight of the Brahmin, Zebu, or East
Indian cattle, as they are variously called,
reminded the doctor that there are strains
Of the same stock ia many parts Of the
South He said that in 1886 Dr. Davis of
SOGth Carolina touched at an English port
with a ship load of Angora goats, the FIRST
ever brought to the United States, and the
ship was boarded by the then Earl of Derby
who had fine estate in the neighborhood.
The earl desired to add couple of the ami.
mails to his park and proposed to buy them.
The doctor refused to sell but freely gave
the earl a pair Lord Derby, touched by
such generosity, insisted on the doctors
going into his park and selecting pair Of
any animals he might fahcv there, and the
latter took pair Of fine Brahmin cattle.
Or, Davis took them around to fairs, far
and wide, and won many prizes. At Lex
ington, Kentucky, he sold the bull to a
Texan for 5000 in gold. These animals
we're extensively crossed with domestic
cattle throughout the South, and they ist
today in great numbers.
When crossed with the native stock they
grow TO enormous size, and prove to be
very superior both for milk aud beef. No
matter how remote the strain they always
show we'll marked zebu characteristics.
Many Of the cross breeds are as spotted as
leopards. They can go a long time without
water, and no amount Of exertion in hot
weather seems to affect them, in which
respect they are in marked contrast to our
domestic breeds. The torrid climate OF
India, from which they originally came,
seems to have rendered them immune as 10

Later on learned that shortly after this he
was closeted with the major
Now Mr.. Ross you have told me that
you always found me on the side of right;
and Com. Macfarland has told me that he
always found me reasonable in my demands
therefore it is clear that never pursued an
aggressive course much less that of a bully,
as represented in that Infamous article.
You know too that it was by my request
the warrant for I.uscombe was not served,
that his wood yard permit was ordered to
be issued through my representations, that
the affidavit referred to by him was read in
his presence and handed to you, that if
changed after il went into your possession
I had nothing to do with il, that you never
branded any paper as false relating to a
breach of good behavior on the part of any
officer towards Mrs. Raymond, that you
never regarded any act of mine as an at
tempt to blaCkmail that instead of ex-
torting money from policemen under threats
to expose misconduct they idolize me as
one with an eye single TO their interests
as one who has done more than his share
TO create public confidence in and respect
for the force, but for which have been re.
Quilted by their chief with a stab in the
back again and again. You know every
circumstance in connection with the Lus-
combe case, that if he complied with the
law by respecting the rights of his poor
neighbors he would have had no trouble
You know too that his article is false from
start to finish and that circumstances point
to Ashford, Sylvester and Cross as the in
stigators of it. therefore do whatever your
conscience dictates, but rest assured that
what you fail TO do will not leave undone.
II believe in open, honest, fearless crit
icism, but consider one who resorts to the
black brush Of scandal coward and
knave, and after overhearing Cross and
LusCombe I told the major that whenever
he got ready to take il up would meet
him more than half way in giving him
chance to use it.
Sincerely and respectfully,

WANTS
SUGAR FACTORY
Interesting Mass Meeting In City
Hall Last Night
INITIAL STEP IS ADOPTED

A very interesting mass meeting
was held in the city hall last night
in the interest of the proposed
sugar beet factory
DR., Watson was chosen chair
man of the meeting, at which there
WAS quite large attendance At
ter briefly stating the object of the
call he requested each and every
one present to express his views as
to what would be the proper course
to pursue to get the proposition in
shape at an early date to insure
Florence of success in locating the
factory
ID. A Galloway, who has had
considera BILE experience in the
sugar beet industry, expressed
himself as being highly pleased
with the prospect. He believed
that the farmers of this community
could and would guarantee to raise
5000 acres of beets, the land on
Beaver and Hardscra bble being
peculiarly adapted to the growth
of the sugar beet; that water was
abundant, which was a necessary
requisite to secure the best result.
Others followed Mr.. Galloway,
each one being in favor of starting
at once and carrying the matter
through.
The idea of calling a meeting of
the farmers together next week in
order to get an expression from
them, WAS good one and will
prove the right thing Business
men must work in harmony with
the farmers to obtain results SO
a mass meeting will be held at
Beaver and Hardscra at an
early date to get from the farmers
an idea of how many acres of beets
they can pledge for the first season
On motion the chair was in
structed to appoint committee of
three, they to select sub-commit-
tees to arrange and perfect plans
for the work, as follows: II. Car
mody, ID. A. Galloway and w. L.
Hawkins. After the meeting adj
journed, the above committee re-
solved itself into meeting and
appointed the following assistants:
James Montgomery. Nat McCon-
nell, p. T Mcclure, s. g Kelso
and s. NJ Randall The chairman
of the committee called meeting
of that body to assemble in the
city hall this evening to arrange
plan of campaign.
Considerable interest was mani
tested at the meeting and The
TRIBUNE believes that if the bust
ness men of Florence will go to
work and all work in harmony, this
proposition will be secured. There
is no reason why it can not.
