Said Text Book Combine Is After the
Certificate.
Helena. April 13.-An attack was
made on the union label, in so far as 1t
aplies to the text books of the state,
in the supreme court this morning.
John Hehfl, represented by Attor-
neys Robert b. Smith and Edward
Harskey, filed an application, asking
that that portion of the law providing
that the union label shall be placed
on all text books be declared uncon-
stitutional.
A request also was made for an or
der restraining the text book commits.
sion and the superintendent Of public
instruction from receiving any bids
for printing text books unless they
are willing to accept any and all bids,
no matter If the bidders are not able
to furnish the union label.
No action has been taken on the APP
plication as yet, and it is not known
when the supreme court will act in the
matter, which is regarded from a
union labor point of view as one Of
the most important that has ever come
before the court. ~
1t is understood this application is
to anticipate action by the so-celled
school-book trust, which is understood
to be anxious. to have the union label
knocked out for all time.

NORTHERN SECURITY SELLS OFF
SEVERAL POINTS.
MORGAN ANO HILL CONFER
Weakness Shown All Along the Line
Some Securities Lost
Ten Points.

New York, April 13.-Shares of the
Northern Securities company were ex-
tremely weak on the curb today, sell
ing of to 98h, decline of 5A points
from last Thursdays closing quota
tions during the early session. Much
of the selling came from stock ex-
change houses and there seemed to
b. no supper. There Is little DOUBT
that some Of today's selling was of a
forced character.
The course of Northern Securities
was not without it's effect on the gen.
eral stock market, prices yielding con
siderably. Declines of Q to 3 points
were common. Call money was quiet
at z per cent, but the demand was
slight.
During the noon hour, Northern Sc
curities broke to 81 and then rallied
a point.
The break in Northern Securities to
81 shortly after noon was followed
by increased weakness all through
the active stock list. A number of
standard railroad shares made low
records for the present move, includ-
ing New York Central. The decline
in these issues was less severe than
in a number of others, for example,
Atchison, B. & o., Northwestern, st.
Paul, Delware & Hudson, Missouri Pa
cifc and Rock Island, all of which
broke 3 or more points. Lackawanna
fell 10 points; St. Louis & San Fran
cisco, 6k. There al a 10-point de-
cline in American Express on sales
of 100 shares. Southern Pacific sold
to within a fraction of it's recent low
record, and many other railroads reg
istered declines. Common report at
tributed the break to heavy selling.
The banks were not calling
loans, but brokers were demanding
additional margins from customers.
In Conference.
New York, April 13.-J. p. Morgan
was in conference today at his Office
with j. ]. Hill, president Of the North
ern Pacific, and e. H. Hartman, pres
ident of the Southern Pacific. The con-
ferences were reported to have some
bearing in the Northern Securities
case, but no confirmation was obtain
able, as those present refused to talk
for publication.

Cleaning the Scalp.

For a number of years I was trou-
bled with a fine white dandruf which
formed on the scalp and would show
all through my hair. I tried many
remedies without success, such as
cleaning with egg, washing with
soaps that were recommended, and
combing with a fine comb, but the
more I combed the worse it got, and
the washing only did good for a few
days. A friend advised me to try
using kerosene oil. I first gave my
head a good washing, and then
poured out a little oil in a dish handy
to insert the ends of my fingers. The
ends of the fingers were dipped into
the oil and the scalp thoroughly
rubbed with it. This burned and
smarted for some time but it was just
what was needed to get up a good cir
culation In the scalp.
After three or four applications,
some time apart, the dandruf entire
~ disappeared, and never gives me
any more trouble. The smell of the
kerosene will disappear in a day or
two, but it is really no worse than to
have the hair filed with the dandruf.
This is such a simple remedy and n
that is always at hand and will sure
" do the work successfully.-Mrs.
Rena A. Osborn.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

l have only time to greet you this
week and say that I vas delighted to
hear from Mrs. Null, who has not
written in so long a time. Her let
tiers are always interesting, but this
n is especially so. 1t will be news
to many of our readers to learn that
some of the Indians in our own State
still trade in so primitive a way.
Now, will others follow Mrs. MulPs
example and tell US of their outings
this season? There are so many in
teresting incidents you could relate
and we would enjoy hearing you tell
of them.
This is preserving and jelly season
and a season in which you can save
dollars for the winter by preparing
an abundant store of canned articles
for use when it is impossible to get
fresh vegetables. Inspect the orchard
and garden with your eyes open to
this fact and see what you can do.
There is usually enough wasted on
an average farm to support a small
family provided, of course, the wo-
man of the house is economical and
knows how to save. There is a vast
difference in simple economy and
thrift and economy combined. Some
helpful hints for Gamers may be
found on page Is of last weeks Pro
gressive Farmer.
Let US hear from YOU.

quested the master to give that wo-
man to him (the young slave) for a
wife. The master would proceed to
ask some questions of the couple,
and then pronounce them husband
and wife. Generally a wedding sup
per was served in the Cabin" to
which the relatives of the contracting
parties were invited. After supper,
music and dancing or any kind of
hilarity reigned for several hours,
unless they we're married on the Sab
bath.
Aunt Jennie, I am always disap-
pointed when | find no Social Chat in

often as I can, but I have been quite
feeble for the past few weeks, and so
l have not felt like writing. And
this letter is not entertaining, but

Some Notes From BERTHE.
AUNT JENNIE.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-As education
SENS to be the only legitimate topic
at the present time, l will tell you
what some of the men around here
have done.
Some months ago a terrible temp
est swept over this section, leaving
destruction in it's wake, and while
tearing up trees and demolishing
houses, it threw some tall pines on
the church-house at Mars Hill. The
house is not damaged so very much,
but the brethren decided instead of
repairing, they would build a new
and a finer one. The church is Mis-
SIonary Baptist. So on last Confer
ence day the County Superintendent
was present and asked that the breth-
rem donate the old church to the
County School Board, for the pur-
pose of building an academy, and
said that the Board would CONSOLE
date the three surrounding districts
and have a high school taught
there.
The brethren with great unanimity
and seemingly much pleasure, agreed
to do so. So now we are living in
hope of having a fine school right
at our doors to educate the young
people.
While writing, 1 will just state
that the marriage ceremony of slaves

the Hiwassee where many varieties
of ferns and evergreens grow, along
the side of frightful cliffs where the
rhododendrons droeped over the
road, and we could gather them as
we passed, and no noise except the
singing of the birds and the murmur
of the river. After spending several
days in the country we reluctantly
babe our dear friends good bye. Miss
Harshan presented me with a piece
of my great grandmother's dress. She
was Mrs. Harshan and was born in
1853, and died near Morganton, N.
c., in 1885.
Cherokee County occupies the ex-
treme western corner of this State.
It touches the States of Tennessee
and Georgia on the est and south. It
has fine agricultural lands. Murphy,
the county seat, is a pretty little
town of about one thousand inhabi-
tants. They have a very fine court
house, which would be a credit to a
much larger place. Here in Murphy
on our return home we met Rev. Bay
lus Cade, so well known to readers of
The Progressive Farmer. He is pas
tor of the Baptist Church here, and
is much admired by all the different
denominations.
We took the train for home at ten
in the morning, and had an oppor-
tunity to see the country through
which we passed. We saw the Chero-
kee Marble Works and were given
some specimens of it. Many beauti-
full little towns and homes are scat
tered along the railroad throughout
the mountain country. The beauty
of the scenery is indescribable along
the whole way from Murphy to Ashe-
vile. We reached the latter place
late in the afternoon and stopped to
spend a day or two. We found the
view from the front verandah of the
Battery Park Hotel very grand, COM
handing prospects of the whole
country around. We also went to
Biltmore and then came on home,
more impressed than v e that
North Carolina has the finest noun
tain scenery in the United States.

A Trip in Western North Carolina.
BERTHE Co., N. G.

"A hip IN western North Carolina.
Dear Aunt Jennie:-I am a house
keeper and a busy woman, but / take
time occasionally to make a little
trip. 1t always rests me up, and l
feel better able to perform my usual
duties when l get back home.
During the month of June my hus>
band and / went out to Cherokee
County on a long promised visit. We
left Newton at a little past ten
o'clock in the morning and so had
the opportunity of seeing most of
the country through which we passed
in day time. At Hickory in this
county the South Mountains are in
full view, and when we reach Nor
canton they are very near, and Table
Rock looms up in the distance. We
next pass through Mcdowell Coun-
ty. Marion and Old Fort, the two
principal towns have been improving
very rapidly the last few years.. Old
Fort, at the foot of the mountains,
was, before the Revolutionary War,
the seat of a fort planted there to
hold the Cherokee Indians on the
other side of the mountains. It is
now a summer resort and has some
manufactures. The scenery from this
place on to Asheville is very fine. We
passed through seven tunnels. We
reached Asheville about two o'clock,
and we're delayed several hours, but
spent them very pleasantly with
friends who were s%ojourning there
for the summer.
After leaving Buncombe we enter
the large and beautiful county of
Haywood, remarkable for the long
extent of it's mountain ranges, the
height of it's numerous peaks, and
the fertility of it's soil. The Balsam
Mountains here attain their greatest
elevation. Here are fifteen peaks of
more than 5000 feet in height.
Waynesville, the county seat, is fine
ly situated in the valley of Richland
Greek, o~vertopped by some of the
grandest SUBMITS of the Balsam
Mountains. 1t is a noted summer re-
sort. I noticed many fine orchards
+broTph this county.
Next is the mountainous county of
Jackson. In the northern part along
the T~uckaseege River, and Soco
Creek is an Indian reservation inhab-
tied by Cherokees. They have adopt

vote.
We next pass through Swain Coun-
ty, down the banks of the Tucka-
seege, then up that of the Tennessee
and the Nantahala to the Macon
County line. As we passed through
here I thought of Mrs. Mckinney
who used to write for Social Chat
from here. At Bryson City the con-
ductor put all his white passengers
into one car, as he said it was not
necessary to take any more than was
needed any farther through the
mountains, and as it was getting
dark at this place I took off my hat,
and propped up myself on my seat
and tried to sleep for the rest of the
journey.
It was almost midnight when we
reached Murphy. We went at once
to the Dickey House, slept about five
hours, had breakfast at six (and a
very delicious one it was), and about
eight o'clock took a carriage to go a
few miles out in the country. What
a lovely drive it was! / got out once,
to drink some water from a spring
by the road side and gather a bunch
of ferns and rhododendrons.
We reach our destination in an
hour or two, and what a royal well

tress of the fine old mansion, gave US
1t was a large white frame building,
surrounded by nine stately cedar
trees, and in the distance flowed the
Hiwassee, and on either side of it
were broad bottom lands in a high
state of cultivation, and farther on
rose the grand mountain ranges.
Her place is known as the Jug
Farm as it was once owned by an old
Cherokee Indian chief by the name
of jug. Miss Harshan showed us
many old things that had been used
more than a century ago. One was
a large heavy solid walnut chest,
beautifully carved, which had been
brought over from Germany by her
ancestors one hundred and thirty
years ago, and it was packed full of
old family keep sakes, fine pieces of
china, old pewter ware, old silk
dresses made with pointed bodices.
with wide sheared skirts and elbow
sleeves, bundles of embroidered un-
d~ersIeeve; we also saw a heavy silk
shawl of beautiful design. And what
a lovely old fashioned garden she had,
part for flowers, and part for vege-
tables. In the shadow of the willows
on the near banks of the Hiwassee
she keeps her own boat locked, and
in the cool of the long summer even
ing she and her maid row up and
down the river.
While l was there l saw the Indian
women travelling around the country
selling the baskets they make, for
corn. The price of each basket, large
or small was the corn it would hold.
l was told the men we're very lazy
and imposed all the hard tasks on the
women. The women carried heavy
