PAY OF TRANsLAroRs.
Some Foreign Books Turned into En-
.alish for From $25 to 500.

.'Hho' NJ ''Stfl F%S eNfV'NS'
The industry of translating foreign
authors in,o English has grown am
azingly in the last fifteen years. BS-
fore that time there was compare
lively a small demand by Americans
readers for the writings Of foreign,
authors, except of course, the famous
writer's. HY ptft a@otik hHt1
Commercialism had little to do with
the early translations, most OF which
were accomplished as a labor Of love
on the part of certain English liter
airy men. "
Now the situation is changed. At
the present time nearly every novel
OF prominence published abroad Is
printed also in English. Every one
that makes hit is snapped up Inn
mediately and thrown upon the AMI
erican market.
AS the quantity OF translation from
foreign authors increased the quality
declined At first the work was done
by men OF ability who had thorough
knowledge of the language tney were
dealing with. Now this branch or
literature has become mere drudgery
and is confined to writer's who work
with open dictionary. tfEg
From s25 to 500 is paid nowadays
for the translation OF a foreign book.
Some of these contain from 300 to GOO
pages, and an energetic translator
can accomplish his taskk In few
weeks. Keeping in mind the payment
he Is to receive, he hustles through
the work as rapidly as possible, with
the natural result
AS soon as an author makes a hit
abroad his works are thrown into
type here one after another On quick
ly as they can be turned into English.
The translator and printer alone read
them, and in many cases there is no
criticism passed upon the execution
Of the work. 'a 49,

ON THE REBOUND.
By aAatlELp nAcNEAL.

Lillian Treadwell awOke on the
morning OF her thirtleth birthday to
the sickenipg consciousness that she
was an old maid. She parted the
cretonne curtains Of her bed, curtains
covered with red roses, suggestive OF
summer sunshine, and turned her eyes
toward the window. Rain beating
against the panes and dull gray sky
proclaimed cheerless November day.
She sighed. Then. stretching out
shapely arm, she took silver hand
mirror from the nearby dressing table
and carefully studied her features.
In the language Of Shakespeare, she
saw mo deeper wrinkles yet" face
long and oval. patrician in outline and
expression, skin rather olive, eyes
brown, deep and luminous, a mouth
generously nodded and wealth OF
brown hair. Oh the whole, II was a
notable face and one OF character.
Dropping the mirror on the bed, she
called "Loisw A French maid, neat,

breakfast tray.
"Ah, nam sellel thousand con-

'Ma'm'selle is still young, and al

will be at your feet" said Lois, with a
comprehensive sweep indicating the
world.
''Oh, yes, the noyelw murmured her

Lois protested. She worshiped her
mistress. "Ma'm'selle has been sue

"Other women, too have pretty
apartments and everything they

"Ah, yes, but they did not work for
them" said Lois, with worldly
shrug, as she went IN response TO the
electric bell, which at this moment
buEzed loudly In the hall
She reappeared with a huge white
box. FLOWERS, mann 'selle and note,
she said gayly.
Miss Treadwell cut the ribbon that
held the box and disclosed mass of
yiolets. They seemed TO look up at
her tenderly, yet shrinkingly. as she
bent over them. With a sigh of pleas
ure she took the note and studied the
bold handwriting OF the superscrip-

was Jacks! Dear old Jack had re-

She slit across the end OF the en-
yeiope while her fingers trembled and
eagerly unfolded the paper.

had gone wrong since the Farmer
ceased to- visit him. His chickens re-

his grainary and his wheat ran out
and the birds ate it up. His wind

Finds Rine in Cabbage.

One day last week Mr.. M. D. Dick
ons bought cabbage at Charlie Sal
eeby's which he carried home for his
wife to prepare for dinner. When
Mrs. Dickens attempted to quarter
the cabbage she found that the knife
would not cut through. With the as
sistance Of Mr.. Dickens the cabbage
was finally cut in two, when it was
discovered that . heavy gold ring was
imbedded near the centre. The only
plausible explanation that can be
given is that when the cabbage was
young some person working at or near
it dropped the ring which lodged in
one of the leaves. AS the cabbage
cost only Is cents and the ring is
valued at $1s Mr.. Dickens is quite
well satisfied with the transaction

What About Hard Times?

In this State We believe in the
whole country there is great cry of
wolf when there is no wolf in reach
and none approaching. There is a
disposition to grumble and many
people are crying hard times. Some
raise that cry to conceal their thrift
less habits; others cry out hard times
when they have plenty of money and
do not wish to pay debts or purchase
desirable things for the family. There
is perhaps s4so, 900 worth of cotton in
this county in the hands ofproducers.
There is more corn in the country
than has been the first of January for
the last ten years. There is no unus-
ual pressure brought to bear on debt
ors. The merchants have had good
trade for the last four months. More
men are getting on a cash basis than
have been there for years. Get this
hard times idea out of your head.
Quit talking about it. When cotton
is 10 to II cents, corn 80 cents, peas
50. 90 and a strong demand for all sur
plus farm products, there ought to be
no hard times on the farms. Common
laborers on heavy work can get rs
cents to S1.00 day and skilled me-
.chanics $500 to $4.ooI a day. There is
work at fair price for all who wish
to work. Let all go to work and cease
this everlasting talk about hard
times. Carolina Spartan.
