All this brings up the subject of
the presidents railroad fare, which
the Republicans and Democrats are
fighting out in the house.
President Roosevelt Is quite will
ing to pay his own railway fare
and that Of his family. What he
objects to Is paying the fare of all
the official retinue which necessar.
! lily travels in his wake. The real
question, as he believes, is whether
1t is right to tax this expense
against his private purse, or even
to accept 1t as gratuity from the
public service corporations-the
railways.
The president would prefer as a
general thing to travel alone. He
would be entirely content to ac-
cept the accommodations enjoyed
by an ordinary citizen.
But this not possible. AS presi-
dent of the United States, he can
not move without a retinue. In the
first place he must be protected
from cranks. The public demands
1t. He must have couple of secret
service men at his elbow.

DENTS SPECIAL TRAINS.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Who
pays the presidents cook?
Nine people out Of ten, If asked
this question, would answer: The
government. And they would be
wrong.
The government pays the stew
ard, but the president pays the
cook. The government furnishes
the dishes, but the president pays
for the food which the dishes hold.
The government pays the plum
Der; the president pays the milk
man.
The government pays for the
horse which goes to the capitol
with the presidents messages; the
president pays for the horse which
he rides in the afternoon.
The government pays for the
flowers which decorate the dinner
table; the president pays for laun-
dering the tablecloth.
The government pays the secre-
tary who attends to Mrs. Roose-
velt's mail; the president pays the
printer who engraves the White
House invitations.
The government pas the man
who opens the White House door:
the president pays the man who
shovels the White House coal.
The government mows the White
House lawn, and clears the ice from
the White House sidewalks; the
president pays for the official din
ners which are spread for the for
eign ministers and ambassadors.
Somebody invented the fierce
system hundred years ago, and it
remains monument of antiquity
and obscurity.

Fire si'roiw;inlislila.' :,

Townville, October 25.-About s
o'clock Monday afternoon fire was
discovered in the press room at the
gin Of J. w. Shirley at this place
and in very few minutes the entire
building and it's contents were COM
pletely enveloped in flames, against
which nothing could be done. 1t
was only by continued hard work
that large stable near by was kept
from igniting, which, if it bad, the
entire town would have been in grave
danger, as the houses we're very close
and the wind from the east, blowing
directly against it. The loss is con-
siderable. The amount of insurance
on the ginnery could not be ascer-
tained, but it will lack much of COW
ering the loss.
The school at this place opened
upon the 10Th instant under the
direction of Roy L. Bowen and wife.
The indications are that the term
will be prosperous one.
@. D. Giles, who has been qnite
iii for week, is much better and
hopes to be up again soon.

line Sharp, of Pendleton, are on a

and her consort, and you never saw
the like of soldiers parading the
streets in their very flashy uniforms
of blue, trimmed with red braid.
This il the prettiest town ever
saw, and so very clean. All of the
houses are of red brick, with tiled
roofs, which make pretty show.
Everywhere are little milk stores,

two cents. People seem to drink
more milk than anything else.
This morning we visited the pic
ture galleries, and I really think it is
worth a trip across just to see them.
The collection was made by the
Princes of Orange, and they have all
the best works of Rubens, Rem.
brandt and VanDyke. They also
have Murillo's Madonna and Child,
which is said to be the most beauti-
full ever painted. The thing that
struck me with the pictures is the
expression. ] do not think that
photography will ever he able to pic
ture expression as these painters do.
The picture shat struck me most
forcibly was "The Descent from the
Cross" by Wander Weyden. 1t pic
lures Christ as dead, and you can see
the outs and nail prints, so that it
makes your blood run cold, and then
the faces of all the people standing
around the GROSS make it the most
realistic thing I ever saw. / could
have stood and studied that picture
for hours if had had the time to
spare.

woodland, and was formerly the

Holland, bnt is now owned by the

growth at all, 80 that such thick
forest of large trees is both beautiful
and rather gloomy. There are num-
bers of fine driveways all through
the park. After You have driven for
about two hours you come to what is
known as "The House in the
Woods" which was the palace of
Queen Sophie, grandmother of the
present Queen. The house is very
handsome, with large marble steps
and four lions on each side. D.s.L.

An Oconee boy, while travelling in
Europe, wrote several very interest
ing letters to his mother, and she has
kindly consented to let Us publish
a number of them in The Courier.
They will appear from time to time,
and we feel sure that they will be
read with interest by our subscribers.
The letter this week is the arrival at
Rotterdam and trip to The Hague
and the many things of interest
there. 1t reads as follows:
We landed at Rotterdam yester-
day about a. M, but have had very
little sleep since 2.3O, as about that
time they began rolling up the bag
gage.
The custom officers came on board
abou, 4.S0 a. m. and went through
all of our baggage.
We took a cab at the dock and
went straight to the railway station
and bought tickets for The Hague.
The trains here are the strangest I
ever saw. The engines are very
small, also the cars. They are d.
vided into four or FIVE compartments,
and when yoa'buy ticket they give
you compartment and look you In.

"Now, as to the fire. There is no
reason, 80 far as can see, for any
widespread belief that the fire was
started by the negroes, though there
is, of course, possibility that such
was the case. The fire was discov-
cred in the basement of Ellison's
Hotel. The basement had several
tons of coal stored in it and the out.
side door was locked about s O'Clock
the afternoon before the fire was
discovered. The cause of the fire is
not known, but there is no evidence
whatever of any incendiarism. The
theory generally accepted is that the
fire was purely accidental, though, as
l stated, there is possibility that it
was due to incendiarism. That pos
sibility is, however, very remote,
and all the people OF Seneca agree
to that. The Sensational stories
that have been circulated have been
wholly without foundation and have
been most unjust to the negroes of
Seneca and to the white people as
we'll. N8r' ~
seThere has been DO such race
prejudice at Senece as has been re-
ported. Up to the time of the At.
lanta riot I,had never heard anything
against the negro preacher, Williams.
Since then it has been said that he
had been teaching the negroes not to
werk for the white people. Will.
liams denies this bitterly, and have
never heard Of any good evidence
that he had been guilty Of the utter!
ances attributed to him. l am not
in a position, though, 70 authorisa
lively condemn him or to defend
him. I simply do not know. He is
still at Seneca, and nobody seems to
be trying to make him leave. '''

Half dozen negroes came to me as
soon as I reached the scene and
offered their services, and they
stayed with me until after sunrise,
and worked as hard as / did to check

"There is not excitement or ill
feeling at Seneca between the whites
and negroes now, nor has there been
any at any time. In fact, the rela-
tions between the races at Seneca
are as friendly as at any place that /
know of. Of course we have some
mean negroes there, just as there are
in every community. And we have
some mean white people, too, and
these cause as much trouble as the
mean negroes. But the mean people
are in the minority, and l do not
think there are enough of them to
cause any serions trouble. Our town
has been done a serious injury, and l
would like to have the actual facts

Birmingham, Ala, Got. 27.--
Eighteen -year.old Fannie Fennell,
regarded as one of the most beauti-
full girls in Alabama, has been kid
raped.
Both police and detectives are
searching the city from one end to
the other and absolutely no trace of
the missing girl can be found.
Miss Fennell, who is the daughter
of Mrs. j. III. Sidebottom, wife of q
railway conductor, mysteriously dis
appeared from the family residence,
729 North Twenty-first street, last
night.
For some time Miss .Fennell has
been receiving anonymous letters
from an unknown admirer in Colo
RADIO. The writer professed his love
and said he would kill her if he did
not get her.

o'clock this morning. aslna
An examination showed that the
girl had slept in the bed and had
left her clothes undisturbed on a
chair. A pane of glass was removed
from the window and there was an
odor of chloroform in the room"
AN UNKNOWN ADMrRER.
Mrs. Sidebottom and her daugL-
ter visited Denver, Colo, last Au-
gust and after their return, Miss
Fennell, it is claimed, began receiy-
ing letters from an unknown man,
who said he had seen her first out
West and had followed her to Birm-
ingham.
The letters have been turned over
to the police, who are working on
the case.
" 1t is said that mysterious man in
hack visited the house twice last
night, and gate man at the union
depot describes a young woman
much like Miss Fennell, who took
the o'clock train this morning for
Montgomery.
The police are greatly puzzled
over the case and are making every

ing girl.
GIRL OF UNUSUAL BEAUTY.
Miss Fennell has always been re-
garded as young woman of great
beauty and had admirers by the
score. In Colorado, where she Wis
tied, she attracted great attention.
The girls mother and her friends
are of the opinion that the girl was
removed from the house by the use
of chloroform and kept in semi
