Again the Short Line to the West

Again q project ie on foot to utilize
the gap through the Blue Ridge Noun
talns on the northwestern edge Of
South Carolina in order to make q
short railroad line from the west to
the South Caroline seaboard. And on
the face of 1t the plan looks more
feasible than those that have been
heretofore presented: The route in
almost an air line from Memphis and
Chattanooga to Columbia and from
Cincinnati to Columbia. Many miles
Will be saved. Furthermore it looks
from the connections at each terminus
that the Southern railway might be
more or less interested, though moth
ing Is known here as to what interests
are concerned.

Tenn, and below. Anderson, West
minister and Walhalla will be points
touched in South Carolina. 1t will be
noted that at Anderson the connection
with the Southern via the Columbia
and Greenviile division will be made,
and at Charleston, Tenn, the Memphis
divisions of the same line will be made,
and the link will be almost an air line
through the mountain walls. enabling
trains to come through without going
around by Knoxville on the one hand
or Atlanta and Spartanburg or Augusta
on the other.

ators whose names are attached to the

had been hurt in the mines. She said she
worked from am until pm. for 81 q
week. In answer to Chairman Gray, she
said her father expects to take her out OF
the mills. to which Judge Gray replied
that he should be commended.
Mr.. Darrow, for the miners. said II was
not altogether the fault of the parents. but
the employees are to blame for not paying
wages enough to permit man to keep his
children in school. Judge Gray replied:
THAT may be, but there are miners who
receive enough pay to enable them to keep
their children out of the workhouse.

also worked all night, gave her testimony

She worked twelve hours each night, and

that Speakers Reed and Crisp were bene-

The Negro Slaves Half Holiday.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Before the war, Saturday or the last
half Of the day, was called negro day. ="
said man with penchant for the curious,
land even now there are country folk who
still hold to the old idea. In some Of the
more rural sections Saturday is still looked
upon as negro day, and it is not uncom-
mon in some quarters of the south to hear
white persons being reproached for being
like the negro when they want to lay off
a half day on the last day of the week.
Time was when 1t was extremely difficult
to get the black man to work after II
o'clock Saturday. In some sections of the
country the negro still insists on the last
half of Saturday, and when he leaves his
pillow at the turning row at the noon hour
on this day, he doesn't expect to take up
the work again until Monday morning. He
may want to spend the afternoon fishing or
hunting, or he may want to spend the time
loafng and joking with the other negroes
of the countryside at the store some dis
lance down the road. But the idea is not as
general now as it used to be. There are
many negroes throughout the agricultural
sections Of the south who now would never
think of claiming the half-holiday Satur-
day They have outlived the old idea, and
when you come TO think of 1t the fact must
be put down to the negros credit for 1t

Hard Earned Dollars.
From the Youths Companion.


Distinguished literary men are Just like
ordinary folk. after all. They do not live
in a cloud of inspiration, and the incense
that people burn under their noses is likely
to choke them. Mark Twain once told an
hysterical admirer that he had writer's
cramp early in his career. When asked
what he took for it. he answered, Beef
steak"
Samuel Johnson. although not an ordinary
man in any OF his ideas or habits, took a.
very commonplace view of his profession.
He said that a man was fool to write for
anything but money, and when asked IL
he did not like to write. answered that 1t
is not pleasant to write, but 1t Is pleasant
to have written.
The other day, says the Argonaut, an In
quisitive woman was talking with James
Whitcomb Riley about the poor material
reward that comes to poets.
But, Mr.. Riley" she said you have no
cause for complaining. You must be very
rich man. understand you get dollar a
word for all you wr.>e"
