L CHEEK.
BY w. d. S.



81 Twill bet one hundred dollars that
Col. Orris elected to Congress-" was the
exclamation of Willis Cheek at the old
Hickory Tavern muster ground years
ago.
what do you base your conclusion
on, Mr.. Cheek 2"
"Why, look at the two men! Col.
Orr is shaking hands with the boys
right and left and telling them good
tales, so that they are nearly splitting
their sides with laughter. Maj. Perry,
with his gold spectacles on and with a
gold-headed walking-stick in his hand,
is standing with a squad of the big
bugs around him. That's the way it
will be on election day-the many will
vote for Col. Orr; the bon ton will fol-
low Maj. Perry"
Later on in the campaign some one
covered Cheeks bet, and he won when
the election was over. The old man
was a fine judge of human nature.
All that level cotton land that Mahon
and Vance are making such big crops
on was then turned out by him. The
rail fences had rotted down, patches of
blackberry bushes were scattered oyer
it and pine old field was in possession.
The militia company was drilled on one
level field.
Like Philip Of old, Mr.. Cheek was a
great lover of horses. He had good
ones, and rode everywhere on horse
back. Buggies were scarce in those
days. In coming up from Laurens C.
H. one day his horse ran away with
him and threw the old man against a
stump that stood above the residence
of Captain Albert Dial. He never re-
covered from the fall.

TO GET COTTON TAX BACK.
Southern Congressman Meet to Agree on
Some Form of Action.

Washington, February 12.-An i'm
portant hearing was held here tonight
by the Congressman from the South
Interested in the passage of M of the
bills now before Congress looking tc
the return of 1858, 600, 900 to persons in
the Southern States against whom q
cotton tax was levied during the Civil
War.
At this meeting there were present
the following Representatives: Gambler,
of Mississippi; Clark, of Florida; Bell,
of Georgia; Wallace, of Arkansas; Hof-
lin, of Alabama; Lamb, of Virginia
Sims, of Tennessee, and others. Mr..
Legare was to be present as the Repre-
sentative from South Carolina, but is
now away in the Northwest.
There is now in the treasury of the
United States practically 500, 600, 600,
and of this amount South Cardinals
part is approximately ST., 900, 900. The
names of all the parties against whom
this tax was levied are on file in the
treasury, end there was no necessity
for the matter to go to the Court of
Claims for adjudication, nor will there
be any necessity for those against
whom the tax was levied to employ at
torneys to look after their cases. If
Congress passes the bill, and it is be-
lieved that such will be the case, the
money will be paid out direct to the
parties or their lawful heirs upon re-
ceipt of proper Identification.
The meeting was mainly for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon some form of
concerted action and to get in shape to
put the bill through at the earliest pos
sible date. The Legislatures of var
ious States will be requested by their
respective congressman to have resolu-
tons rassed as soon as possible request
ing Congress to pass this bill, in order
that these resolutions may find their
way to the Congressional Record and
be printed and aid in a campaign of edu-
cation concerning the matter. ez s5sa
Representatives Hefin, Bell and
Clark were appointed a committee to
take active charge of the bill now pend
ing, and, if possible, agree upon some
to be pressed. The outlook is be-
lieved to be bright for the passage of
the measure in the near future.

NEWSPAPER TRAININGS VALUE.
Now Regarded as a Desirable Part of
Business Mans Equipment.

A few years experience in news
paper work is now regarded as a desir-
able part of a business mans equip
ment.
Newspaper training gives one a bet
ter insight into human nature than any
other occupation. Moreover, it fur
nishes a liberal education to those who
are engaged in its pursuit, for it deals
with almost every department Of hui
man knowledge.
well established publication, says the
Editor and publisher, learns how to
approach people under adverse circum-
stances; how to get the news; how to
write tersely, intelligently and graph
cally about what he sees and hears;
how to size up important situations,
and how to get to the bottom of things.
He learns that the only way to sue
coed is to hustle; that the best way to
promote his own interests and those of
the paper he represents is to be honest
and just in all that he does.
He is in touch with the throbbing life
of the world. He interviews men who
are making history. He listens to the
wise ~utterances of the greatest teach
ers in science, in sociology, in art, in
politics and in religion. He gets a
broad view of life and learns his own
. limitations.
George E. Robert, in assuming the
presidency of the Commercial National
Bank of Chicago, paid a deserving trib-
ute to the work of the newspaper office
as a training for financial responsibility
when he said:
81 obtained my training in newspaper
work. That is the best sort of training
for any kind of work, in my mind.
Newspaper work gives a man more
adaptability; makes him a good judge
of men and gives him the power of
thinking and acting quickly and on his
own initiative. There is no better
training school than a newspaper office
for young men,
There have been many notable illus
t~rations Of Mr.. Roberts remarks.
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National City Bank of New York,
the largest bank III the United States,
was once a reporter and then financial
editor of the Chicago Tribune.
In the literature of finance the lead
ing authorities Of the day, Horace
White and A. ID. Noyes, who have
written books which are in almost all
important libraries of the world, are
men of active newspaper experience.
If a young man is to become a clergy
man, a doctor or a lawyer he will find
no better course of preparation than
that to be found in q newspaper office.
Much has beer said about the tempta-
tons of newspaper life. Perhaps they
are more numerous than those in some
other lines of work. 1t is certainly no
occupation for mollycoddles or weak
lings. Young men of ability and char
acter need have no fear of journalistic
work. If they cannot 60 through the
experiences they are bound to meet in
the business and keep themselves
straight they do not have the right
kind Of stuff in them to make a success
in any occupation.
