Story of a Country Boy and
a Town Boy.

Anderson Mail Twenty-Five
years ago or more little coun-
try boy went to town, Que day.
He drove lean, raw-boned
mule, hitched to rickety old
buggy. His clothes were coarse, ,
of the kind that country boys OF
that day and time wore. AS he
was going along the street he
met a town boy who was driving
fat horse hitched to a new and
shiny buggy. The town boy
broke into laughter. "What
an ugly old mule!" he exclaimed,
And what a disgraceful old bug
gy. And did any body ever see
such outlandish clothes as that
country boy wears?" The town
boy was thoughtless, and he
meant no real harm, perha ps,
but his words and his laughter
hurt the conntry boy very much.
In all his life nothing ever hurt
him quite so much. That was a
long time ago, and the town boy
and the country boy are men
now. The country boy is now
one of the leading business men
of his section. He has many men
in his employ. Not very long
ago he employed the man who
was town boy and who had
Jeered at him that day, long ago,
20 fill a minor position at a small
salary. The man who has the
minor position, and who, by the
way, was very glad to get it,
has no doubt forgotten all about
laughing at the country boy, but
his employer has not forgotten
it, although he never speaks of
it. Did this happen in Ander-
son: you ask Perhaps it did.
We should be very much snr-
prised il it did not, for it has
happened, with perhaps some
slight change as to detail, in
every town. And it will happen
again. 1t is the way of the world.

appiau>e of "a thousand or more
delegates gathered in New

He said that meddlesome news
papers and busybodies had
sought to connect the farmers
union with the uight.riders. 1t
was illogical and unjust to ac.
cuse members OF the union with
the depredations of the night
riders. He said the union was

The union had no sympathy
with he night riders and would
taAe the initiative TO rid the
country of them, He said that
during this convention there
would come into the counsels of
the union for the first time, busi.
ness men and representatives Of
the South's commercial interests
and all would be welcomed, the
union viewing their Willingness
to cooperate in this campaign for
better priced cotton as evidence
of good faith. 1t is expected
that by the opening OF tomorrow
mornings session there will be
present at least 500 delegates.

How Electors Vote for Pres

New York Times: Electoral
college, we have all fallen in the
habit of saying, but each State
has its own college. The colleges
never have a joint meeting.
The whole body of electors never
comes together. BY the provi-
sions of the constitution the cleo
tors of several States meet at
the Stale capitals on a specified
day and vote by,supposedly secret
ballot for candidates for presi-
dent, OF the United States and
vice president, only one of whom
may be citizen of the same State
as the electors. A list is made of
the votes cast and this, alter it
has been signed by every elector
and duly certified, is sealed in
an envelope and sent to the pres
ident of the United States senate.
1t ls one of the constitutional
duties Of this officer to open these
envelopes, on specified day, in
the presence of the senate and
house OF representatives in joint
session. The electoral votes are
then connted. If there is no
choice, the house of representa-
tives elects president. The law
specifies the second Monday in
January after their appointment t
as the day foI the meeting of the
electoral colleges. Congress
codnts the electoral vote the
second Wednesday in February.
