1--WE shall soon have news" he said
quietly. For information that will lead
to his arrest, I have offered the police,
here and on the continent, a reward Of
FIVE thousand pounds"
He spoke the truth. News came soon,
indeed.
We were lunchins together in Graden's
chambers on the fourth day after their
departure, when the telegram arrived.
My cousin opened It. As he read. saw
the line Of his jaw set and harden. Then
he handed it across the table. This was
the message:
Fear We are in great peril Come at
once. Weston"
The realization Of those words must
have come to me slowly, for It was Ora
denis hand on my arm that woke ne
from the stupor into which had fallen.
Even then I could hardly understand

country that went sliding by, In its never

ture an active mind inficts upon poor
humanity! Grant q man the magma

Dawn stole out on Us at Basic, and
we stood upon the platform, our faces
showing pale in the tinted curtain OF the
sky that hung above the snow-clad ridges
to the westward. The air was very cold,
but not with the English bitterness In its
breath.
We had half an hour to walt. Graden

factory towns to work for wages" said
Mr.. Baldwin. .'They lived on their truck
gardens and their poultry and the credit
allowed them at the crossroads stores
which was settled when their crops of
cotton were sold. The cost of living in
town Is of course, much greater than in
the country, and their standard of living
has advanced i'll food, dress and the COM
forts and conVeniences of their homes.
Their condition depends very largely upon
their employers, however. The competent
hands naturally drift TO the well mana ged
mills, while the lazy and dlSsipated shltt
from one mill to another. Few of them
can read and write. and those who have
these accomplishments can do very little
more. They do not realize the value of
education. and are not anxious to educate
their children; although at the good mills
they are gradually learning that educated
operatives command better wages
Their morals vary with their environ
ment In some of the factory villages the
immortality is fearful; in others the peo-
pie are temperate INDUSTRIOUS frugal and
live exemplary lives. Birds of a feather
flock together down here as they do every
where else. Regardless of their morals
all of the people are very religious and
deeply interested in theology. They are
great On controversy, and love TO discuss
doctrinal questions Most OF them are
Baptists; the Methodsts are next in num-
Der, but they have odd SectS and queer no
tions concerning the Interpretation of
Scripture, which have become distorted
as they have been handed down by word
of-mouth from their ancestors, who were.
well-educated pioneers. These ancestirs
moved into the interior led primitive lives,
and did not share in the progress of the
world. which passed by them in their iso-
lation. They are very tenacious in their
UNCONVENTIONAL prejudices they want their
theology red hot: they are very emotional,
very fervent in prayer, and are great on
religious revivals and preaching, which
stir their souls.
They are not very particular in politics,
but are generally democrats and some
have been active in the prohibition move
ment.

CHARLOTTE. n. c.. November IS. 1907.
Charlotte is almost as much of an edu-
catioral as it is a manufacturing CEN
ter. There are two large colleges for
women here which have a high reputation
in the south. The Presbyterian College
occupies a building of massive proper
tions and imposing facade, in the cen
ter of the city, with a front of 320 feet,
and contains an auditorium that will
seat loo people a gymnasium and lab
OF a modern school for girls. Elizabeth
College for Women is interdenomination-
al, with curriculum similar to that of
the southern universities for men. 1t
occupies a group of fine buildings upon
a beautiful campus of twenty acres, and
has a faculty of twenty-four instructors
Special attention is given to music and
the other arts. The conservatory of mu-
sic occupies a handsome building and
has a wel-deserved reputation.
St Marys Seminary, conducted by the
Sisters of Mercy, is one of the most popu-
lar schools of the Catholic Church in the
south.
North Carolina Medical College is in
the center of the city, and Davidson
College for men. is in the suburbs. Biddle

lotte and offers industrial. normal. classi-

Poor Whites Drawn to Town.

The manufacturing development of
North Carolina and other southern states
has drawn out of the mountains and
from the isolated corners of the foothills
that class of the population Familiarity
know as the poor whites They have
furnished the operatives for the cotton
mills almost exclusively because the ne
gro cannot handle spindle or a loom,
and therefore they have become of great
Importance in the industrial prosperity
of the state. They must be reckoned
with hereafter in politics also, and their
future attitude on political questions is
a matter of concern. They were never
Shareholders and have no prejudices
against the blacks. They were largely
Unionists during the war and have no
sympathy with the southern aristocracy.
They have come to town because they
can make more money than by raising
of their families can get employment in
the cotton mills and they have more
diversions and amusements to illuminate
their lives.
Rev. ]. A. Baldwin, who has been en-
gagged in missionary work among them
for many years, and who knows them
thoroughly. tells me that many of them
who came in from the hill country to the
factory towns when the price of cotton
was very low, expected to go back to
their farms. But they have found the So
cial attractions of the factory villages
so great that nothing can induce the
young people to return to the country.
Another inducement for them to stay is
the recent increase in wages in the mills.
Men laborers are now paid from 81 30 to
500 a day; skilled operatives $500 to
500; women weavers S1.25 to S1.75; wom-
en- spinners 90 cents to $1.40, and children
from 80 cents to 81 a day. The law
allows children over twelve years of age
to work in the factories. The average
is eleven hours day. and these wages
are a fortune compared with the earn
ings of the farm life.
Standard of Living Higher.
Many of these people never saw any
cash in their lives until they came into the

OLIVE RETURNS
FROM OLYMPIA
Things Look Very Favorable for
the Passage Of the Bridge
Bill

Walter M. Olive is back after hav-
ing spend several days at Olympia
at the state legislature. In speaking
of the bridge bill he said. "Notwith-
standing the attempts of certain men
at Waterville to cast reflections upon
the sincerity of the people of We
natchee in regard to this measure,
the members of the legislature gen.
orally have looked into the matter
fully and there is good show that
it will be passed.
"It is generally known that the
attack made upon the bill from that
place is merely a matter of ignorance
as to the facts together with GER
tain amount of enmity, and the
status of affairs in regard to this bill
is very favorable

AS an example of the increase in
prices of land in the Wenatchee val
ley the following tract of land at
Cashmere is a fair sample.
Six years ago John Sullivan bought
25 acres of land short distance
south of Cashmere for which he paid
$40 per acre. One year later he sold
the tract, to a Mr.. Armstrong for
$500. Three years ago the land
was transferred back to Mr.. Sullivan
for $24O0. This was considered at
that time very high price. A short
time ago Sullivan sold ten acres of
this tract to Judge Tallman of Seat
tie for $1,000.
