SCOTCH WERE NEVER TORIES.
They were True to Their Oath But Re
fused to Affiliate With Tories.

| To the Editor: l once heard of re-
viyal being started by the telling of an
| anecdote. The minister conducting the
meeting at last became SO much dis
couraged by the GOODNESS of the congre-
cation, that one morning he told them
/ that they reminded him of an old friend
who one morning coming across a land
turtle commonly called cooter) had
| brought it to the house and cutting off
| its head told his wife to have it cooked
| for dinner When dinner time came on
| enquiry why the turtle wasn't served.
She relied, that the thing wasn't dead
| and going to a corner she removed a
barrel under which the turtle had been
placed. and as it turned round and round,
| the old man exclaimed wife the thing
is dead but it don't know it." and sa'1
the preacher to his congregation, You
are all dead but you don't know it."
The truth of the remark seemed to have
/ taken hold of the crowd which eliminated
| III a glorious revival.
| This anecdote is simply given as in
| troductory to a little Revolutionary his
| tory Some two or more years ago, Or.
| McKelway in the course OF some remarks
about the Scotch settlers on the upper
Cape Fear. made the assertion that a
| Scotchman was never known to be tory.
Thereupon the Rev. w. NJ. Jones' of Red
| Springs took issue with him, and after
some correspondence forced the Dr.. to
admit Che wasn't doctor then tho that he
was wrong. eve all held our breaths to
fsec if it was possible for him to admit it,
But the doctor was right all the time but
| he didn't now it. The fact has recently
| been called to the attention of the writer,
| that these Scotchmen always called them
| selves Royalists, and spurned the appella-
ton OF the name Tory. They had but
recently emigrated from Scotland, AMI
being soundly whipped at Culloden, they
al took the oath OF allegiance to the Brit

themselves separate and distinct from
the Tories and would neither march with
them, nor fight under any but their own

Mrs Lusetta Saffel, Philippi, w. Va. is
the woman of the hour. She has attracted
widespread attention by her wonderful
insight into human nature. Many persons
owe their success and lives to the marvel
Gus powers of this remarkable woman.
Some, she found employed in vocations to
which they were entirely unsuited and
pointed out to them avenues in which
they would achieve success. Others were
found on languishing beds of sickness,
near unto death, and restored to their
friends and loved ones by her miracu-
lous power. Mankind to her is an open
book. She reads your character, abilities
and talents, and points out the path OF

bringing to justice no less than five MUIR

good in her community.
Mrs. Saffel says there Is nothing super
natural or occult regarding her ability.
She once was skeptical, but a friend in
duced her to send to the American Society
of Scientific Research, New York for a
valuable book entitled "a Powerful Secret
Science or Wealth Power and In
fuence" which they send free 1t was
this work that brought her the reputation

quickly learned to read the character and
lives of others from their hands. faces,
heads and handwriting. She says anyone
