THE POET.

He asked not worldly things nor cried for

But watched with musing eyes where idly
came.
And fretted on. his brothers OF far mart
And field and loom-and barred to thein
his heart.
Since they. with all their wheaton loaves.
still went
An-hungered with lifes old. grim discon-
tent.
Blithely at, times and solemn-swcct he
Upon his foolish pipe, and strangely
Swayed
Their hearts to easing laughter and to
tears,
Till narket-cry and loom-roac closed
their ears
And they forgot: For life. they he'd in
deed.
OF gold and much soft linen still had need.
And they had al! their lives to lire--and
yet
One old. vague want they could no, quite
forget.
So since with empty souls they went anu
came.
This musing idler. held once Up to shame.
His heart Of dream flung at their hurry
ing feet. ~
And they. in their great hunger. 10. did

Mothers Address.

Great was the excitement when,
after a years membership, mother
was invited to make an address be-
fore the club. The time came, but
the courage for the public appearance
did not arrive promptly. The mo-
ment arrived, when she heard, as in a
dream, the presidents announcement
of her name as the next speaker. The
poor little member arose, faltered out
her subject in a voice which shook
like a reed in the wind, began her
first sentence. read it twice, when
suddenly her young son dashed down
the aisle barehe&ded and in great eX-
citement, crying: Mother, mother!
the house is On fire!" lam glad OF
it," she shouted in return: Il am so
glad Of it, And both mother and
son departed in the twinkling OF an
eye. and the paper was never read

Parents up in Arms.

The parents of the thirteen cadets
of the South Carolina Military Acad-
envy. who were recently dismissed
by the faculty, following their vol
untary departure from the institution,
because the faculty had doubted the
word of several of the number, are
now making an effort to have the boys
reinstated, or at least to secure an
honorable discharge and the removal
of the stigma under which the former
cadets rest
The faculty is not Inclined to re-
consider the case and the disposition
OF several of the board of trustees is
to allow the faculty to have free
control of the matter. One OF the pa
rents is said to have stated that un'
less an apoligy is made to his son by
the faculty that he will whip the com
nandant or whoever is to blame. 1t
was Commandant w. H. Simons, u.
s. A., who made out the cases against
the offending cadets.

Huaaina Case Compromised.

The suit brought by Mrs. Suda
Franklin of Newberry for $4,000
against the Southern railway. was
compromised few days ago in COM
mon pleas court at Greenville. The
case has been hanging fire in the
courts for three years, having been
brought in 1908.
Mrs. Franklin alleged that she was
embraced while on a Southern train
en- route to Atlanta; that she was at
the time in a delicate condition and
that the rough treatment caused her
great suffering, etc.
At the first trial Of the case the jury
gave verdict for $4,000, but the
cause was appealed and new tria!
granted.
1t is understood that the settlement
was for sum not exceeding five thou
sand dollars, though no statement can
be secured from attorneys in the case.

Has Proved VeritabIe Bonan-
"a for Railways.
STARTLING DISCLOSURES
Roads of Country Charge Uncle Sam
More Than Thrice the Rate A.
lowed the Express
Companies.

A Washington dispatch says: Be-
tween the investigation that the CEN
sus bureau is making with 4 view
TO determining the relative pay the
railroads receive for the transporta-
ton of mail and EXPRESS matter, and
the investigation which the postal
commission is preparing to make with
view to determining further Wheth-
er rates of mail pay should be re-
duced or not, there will be much light
thrown on the subject.
Professor Adams, now statistician
for the interstate commerce commits
sion, investigated the subject for the
Wolcott postal commission. One OF
the mail routes he investigated was
that between New York and Buffalo.
He found that the government paid
s31.73 per ton for the transportation
of mail between these two points. He
then investigated the express bus!-
ness between the same points. He
found that the average rate which the
express companies make to the pubic
was s25 per ton, and that the con-
tract they had with tie railroads was
that the latter shoe:d haul their e1-
press at forty per cent of the gross
charges, which would amount to $lo
per ton. Thus, he found, in actual
practice on this road, the government
paid 3.173 times as much for the trans
portation of mail as was charged ny
TIE railroads for the transportation
OF express.
But in order to err on the Side or
goodness, if at all, Professor Adams
made his calculation on the basis OF
the railroads getting fifty per cent OF
the gross express charges, and found
that even on this basis the ratlrcaa
charged the express companies $3.50
ger ton for performing not dissim.
liar service than that for which the
government paid it s31.73 per ton.
1t is believed by many OF those who
have investigated the matter that the
FIRST duty of the government is 20 see
to it that the railroads take additional
precautions for the safety of the mail.
The long list of wrecks which have
occurred within the past year nave
resulted in the destruction OF many
thousands of dollars OF mail which
had it been carried in electrically
lighted steel cars, they declare, might
have been saved, as actual. experience
has shown the mail to be immune from
danger in case of wrecks, when car
ried in such cars. IT is contended
that the rates of pay are ample 10
Justify the government in requiring
ell future mail cars to be thus con-
structed.

FIRE SWEEPS TOWN.
Costly Conflsgration in Newherry, s.
c., Wipes Out % Residences, 10
Stores and Two Churches.

Fire at Newberry, =. c., Friday &c.
stroyed twenty-three residences, ten
stores and two churches, entailing a
loss estimated at between Si5U,10o
20 100000, with insurance OF about
5000. -.
The range of the fire was froIa
Adams street to Calhoun, east and
west, and from Friend to Main Or
Pratt streets north and south on one
side and about one b,ock on the other
side of Main street.
Most of the burned buildings were
negro shacks, and in their places viii
rise modern buildings.
Surrounded Oh all sides by the
flames was the residence Of Mrs. j.
B. Humbert, widow of a former
Methodist minister, which was never
touched, although the heat from the
flames Gcorched the house several
times.
It is related that Mrs. Humbert,
during the entire time of the contia-
grafton, prayed that her home nigh:
be spared.
The fire originated in the three
story building occupied by R. c. vii
liams, dealers in wagons and bug.
gies. A new and handsome two-story
building owned by R. G. Williams
and occupied by Shelley & Summers
furniture dealers, was in the path O!
the fire, and from there the confla'
grafton spread.
Among the most prominent build
ings destroyed were the residences
of o. L. Schumpert and Henry kinard
two Of the handsomest in the city, the
Presbyterian parsonage, residences
of James F. Tond and E. II. Leslie
both on the same block.
Aveleigh Presbyterian church, 4
handsome wooden building, is a totai
loss, as is the old Associate Reform
ed Presbyterian church, which would
have been torn down shortly to b.
replaced by a handsomer one. The
majority of the builnings were small
wooden orbrick structures, some OF
which would have been torn down in
the near future to be replaced by
more stables ones.

KEPT BY AND FOR WOMEN.
Only Cooperative Store Ct Its Kind in
the World

Sllty SS-SPCl 6lISC SSStC no t>'ro SO
the World.
The city of Stockholm, Sweden, can
boast the only woman's cooperative
store in the world Shareholders, man
agenent, buyers and sellers are al
women. Only two men are employed;
these drive the delivery wagons.
Miss Anna Whitlock, leader of the
woman suffragists in Sweden, was the
promoter Of this scheme. Her appeal
was to the cultured women of small
means. Her propaganda met with "a
vor and on April 5, 1905, the women s
cooperative society was incorporated,
with membership of 391 women and
capital of about $4,000. Quarters
were found and the women went to
work with will.
But they found themselves, as the
Americans say, "up against it," They
were boycotted on all sides. The re-
tail dealers made up their minds to
crush these women, who soon learned
that the markets of their own coun-
try were closed to them, for every
wholesale dealer had been warned. To
sell to these women would be nothing
short of suicidal.
It meant the loss of all other Gus
TONER'S Drivers who deliver to re-
tailers were also warned, says Good
Housekeeping, but they got around
the thing by making night deliveries.
They did not dare, however. to drive
boldly up to the women's store, as de-
tectives were always on the alert, but
they stopped in side street, some
distance away, where the women sent
their workmen to haul barrels, sacks,
ETC.. to their own storerooms.
These gentlewomen were deter
mined to succeed in spite Of all op-
position. Since the Swedish markets
were closed to them, they sent their
buyers TO Denmark, Holland, Germany
and England; they trade only in ports
where goods could be shipped by wa
ter route, as the heavy railroad freight
rates and high tariff in Europe would
eat up all their profit.
In the face of all these obstacles
they have made good showing.
Their sales have averaged more than
$12o a day for the year and their
membership is increasing steadily.
They are paying dividends on capital
and sales every six months. The last
report shows payment of 4 percent
on capital and 5 percent on pur-
chases.
Like the other cooperative soci-
cites. the women sell to members only
and on cEsh payments. So we'll have
these women succeeded with this first
venture that they have secured quar-
ters in another section of the city for
branch establishment.
Other cooperative concerns have
been watching these women with In
terest, and are assisting them by buy
ing in sugar, coffee and spices and
selling to the women under cover.
