"Home, Sweet Home"

Oakway, January 18, 1904.-Gentle-
men: notice in your last weeks issue
that one of your Oconee friends is visit
ing in the lower counties of the State,
and that he is trying to give your readers
some description of the "garden spot'
of the South.
The only criticism that have to make
is Q on what he says about our lands in
those parts; (2) what he says about our
water. He warns the Oconee boy
against his going down there to farm,
saying those lands are poor and sandy,
aud won't stand the test like our lands
up here. No doubt he was in the sand
hill region running from Weldon, N. c.,
by Cheraw, Camden, Columbia, s. c., to
Meridian, Miss, and dividing the Pied
mont Belt and tho Coastal Plain. If he
had crossed over this sand mountain
into the counties of Lee, Sumter, Dar-
lington, Orangeburg, Marlboro, &C., he
would have changed his tune; for in
these counties we have the best lands in
the State for farming purposes. Our
big farmers there hardly ever come
under bale per acre, and some have
made as high as three bales per acre.
Then, again, comes the advantage in
tobacco raising. We can, and have,
made fortunes raising tobacco, some of
it having brought as high as 40 cents per
pound in the rough. SO, boys, you will
not starve when you settle in these
parts, if you will constantly look at the
tail of your '.critter" through pair Of
plow handles.
Our water down home (Smithville,
Lee county,) is just as sweet and pure as
any I've found up here in Oconee. We
have our wells dug deep, thereby going
beyond the surface water and getting the
genuine article. We have no more sick
ness down homo than we have up here.
OF course, there is, sometimes, an out
break of the malarial malady, but it's
then among the class of folks who
wouldn't go otherwise than in dirt and
stagnant filth.
At home, where the song of the nook
ing bird is heard almost continually
from morn till night and from night till
morn, and where the magnolia blooms
and sends out her delicious scent, one
would think that spring time lasted the
year round.
If our friend is single fellow and
will stay till summer l doubt whether
he will ever come back or not; for when
he joins one of our fishing parties some
and enjoys catching perch,
jack, &C., and he and one of our fair sex
go out boat riding and gathering water
lilies he'll begin to sing: SIN Dixie's
land, take my stand and live and die in
of Sand Hills.
Oconee is fine place, and 80 is homo
down South. OF course, you know that
every crow thinks her "yungens" are the
blackest. W. DIN.

Connie Maxwell Orphanage.

Greenwood, January 22.-An-
nouncement has been made by the
Rev. A. T. Jamison, Superintendent
of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage,
that Mr.. j. X. burst, President of
the Bank of Greenwood and the
Greenwood Cotton Mills, one and
two, and member of the Board of
Trustees of the Orphanage, had de-
cided to make gift of money to the
Orphanage TO cover the cost of build
ing an up-to date Office building.
This building will contain safety
hre-proof vault for the preservation
OF valuable papers and records of
the Orphanage, and will also be used
by the trustees as meeting place
when they go to the Orphanage. 1t
will also be used daily as headquar-
ters of the Superintendent. The
cost will be between $1,000 and
$4,000. 1t is deeply appreciated and
is one that will fill long felt need.
In fact the Trustees decided at their
last meeting to have such building
erected and instructed the Superin-
tendent to have it done. Now Mr..
burst offers to make the building a
gift. 1t is another instance of the
deep hold which this institution has
upon acknowledgment

wALHALLA. soUTH CAROLINA. JAN. AZ. 1904
the able and accomplished President
of Adger College. Walhalla He


OF Adger College, Walhalla. He
lived in Dakota for two years after
this ne went to New York, where he
remained until the lamatable day OF
his death. Although absent from
South Carolina, the affection for the
cherished home of his adoption re-
mained unchanged. He continued
to believe in the righteousness OF
the noble cause he 80 ardently
espoused and 30 faithfully defended.
DIR. Mullally was strikingly hand
come, tall and finely proportioned.
He was magnetic in manner, cul-
tured and of gentle and generous
nature. His piety was of the purest
order. He was high-,nined and con-
soientious, firm in his opinions, bat
temperate and tolerant towards
others. He loved his fellow man,
assisted him when in distress, made
due allowance for his frailties and
aided him. too, in manner fully COM
mensurate with his means. His de-
votion to his native land was a pas
sion and a romance. In the South
he had many admiring friends, who
loved him when living, to whom he
had endeared himself by his warm
heartedness, manly and sterling
qualities, and who deeply deplore
his death. Among the many tributes
paid to DIR. Mullally during the war,
there was none more eloquent than
that which came from one of his
heroic army comrades, the late Judge
James S. Cothran, of Abbeville, to
whose assistance DR.. Mutually went
during the battle in which that gal
liant officer was seriously wounded.
Judge Cothran frequently said Dr..
Mutually was, like Bayard of old,
"without fear and without reproach." !"
DIR. Mutually was finished scholar,
thoroughly versed in the classics {;
his oratory was of the Ciceronian
order. There are survivors of Nc
Gowan's brigade in Charleston and
elsewhere throughout the State who
recall his rich and resonant voice,
his fertility of thought and felicity
of expression. During the winter of
1864 he delivered discourse on the
righteousness of the Confederate
cause which was a masterpiece of
lofty and inspired eloquence, learned
and logical. DR.. Mullally wrote a
series of able and brilliant articles
on the book of Romans, and was a
frequent contributor to papers and
magazines. He was domestic in his
habits and loved the happiness and
tranquility of the home circle. DIR.
Mullally leaves eight children: J. B.
Adger Mutually, Thornwell, Mande-
vile, Lane, William, Miss Elizabeth
X, Miss Susie d. A. and Miss Mary
Glare Mutually.

Coed Roads In Congress.

Washington, January 22.--Next
TO Panama and the canals the sub
Ject of good roads appears to be the
leading question before Congress this
winter. In fact the Panama question
had to stand aside while Senator
Latimer made a speech on his good
roads bill. He is the junior Senator
from South Carolina and an enthu-
siastic supporter of the Government
aid proposition. The scheme out
lined in his bill is quite similar to
that of the Brownlow bill, which is
now occupying such large share of
public attention. Each bill carries
an appropriation of $24,OO0,O0O, to
be used during the next three years,
and each provides that the Federal
Government may aid in the improve
ment of the roads to the extent of
one-half the expense but the Lati-
mer bill places three om,nissioners
in charge of the proposed bureau of
highways instead of one director.
Senator Latimer's speech was
clear and convincing. He discussed
the question along the usual lines.
He answered the charge of "uncon-
stitutionality" by citing the fact that
Congress had appropriated and the
Government had spent many millions
for road building in the early part of
the last century. He also pointed
out that the Government continually
uses the public roads as postroads
and argued that it was not only con-
stitutional, but just, that it should
help construct and maintain them.
The South Carolina Senator sum
married. the arguments for national
aid as follows:
First. Because the history of road
building demonstrated that a COM
plete system of public roads has
never been n>construoted in any coun-
try except by the aid of the General
Government.
Second. Because the revenues of
the Government are raised largely
upon articles consumed by all of the
people, thereby distributing taxation
equally, and as all the people could
contribute to the construction and
Improvement of the roads, it is only
by Federal aid that this can be ac-
complished.
Third. Because it is the duty of
the Federal Government to bear it's
just proportion of the expense for
the construction and Improvement of
the roads which it uses for the de-
livery of the mails and for military
purposes in time of war.
Fourth. Because better roads are
a national necessity; they closely
concern the general welfare of the
nation and are, therefore, proper
object of national aid.
Fifth. Because surplus of about
$2OO,OOO,OOO is lying idle in the
treasury, which belongs to the peo-
pie, and should be expended for their
benefit, In manner which will ac-
complish the greatest good to the
largest number.

Kiss OF Child Causes Rabies.

Chicago, January 15. - The kiss of a
S'yearold child may cause the death of
three persons now at the Pasteur insti-
tnte under treatment for rabies. One is
said to have a slender lease on life. The
child is dead of the malady. Although
the grief striken parents hurried the lit
tic one across the prairies of Iowa as
soon as they learned the nature of the
illness, they were too late. The victims
are Harold Latta, years old, who died
yesterday; W. v. Latta,s the boys
father, whose lips were infected from
kissing the boy; Forest Birdsall, 10 years
old, who kissed the child and was bitten.

Another chIoago Fire.


Chicago, January 2O.-Ili.fortune
OF Chicago theatrical people during
the past few weeks was again in
evidence at a fire in the Grand
Palace Hotel, Indiana and Clark
streets, early to-day, nearly two hun
dred members of theatrical troupes
being driven into the street. It was
with great difficulty that a panic
was averted and the frightened men
and women assisted from the struc-
tare in safety.
The fire originated in the second
floor, supposedly from crossed cleo
trical wires, and was carried quickly
upthe elevator shaft by a draught
to the top floor.
Joseph Northrop, a guest of the
hotel, saw the smoke in the shaft
and ran down stairs in the rear Of
the building to notify the night
clerk. The clerk Immediately started
awakening the guests, and Nor
throp stepped into the elevator, ran
it upward through the smoke and
flames and helped arouse the guests
on the top floor.
The halls were soon filed with ex-
cited men and women. The cooler
guests were compelled to force them
back from the windows and fire
escapes, toward which rush was be.
ing made.
A number of women were prepar-
Ing to jump from the windows
when policemen arrived and aided
the work of restraint and rescue.
The women were lead to a rear
stairway down which they escaped
through the smoke that was pouring
upward from the lower floors.
Few of the guests had time to
dress, but a number of the women
had thought of their theatrical ward
robes and stood shivering in the
lower halls of the building, holding
some gaudy decoration Of gauze and
tinsel.

A Valuable Tree--worih $1,000.

A dispatch from Charlotte, N. c., SAWS:
In the mountain district of the State.
near Waynesviile, N. c., recently was
felled one of the most remarkable trees
ever cut in this great lumber district.
The tree has an estim ated value of
$1,000 and contains $4,000 feet of first
class lumber. 1t is worth more than the
average farm in the section in which It
was cut. A part Of the tree has been en-
gagged for exhibition at the ST. Louis Ex-
position next year, and will be placed
among the North Carolina lumber ex.
hibits. The tree is curly poplar. and
