In the strict sense and not including
the jewellers in the fertile coves and
vnlleys, can comprehend the depths Of
their poverty. Perhaps the cottager
on the steep declivity or rocky shelf
OF the mountain Itself, with his cab
bage patch and stunted apple trees,
has less of the comforts of American
life than any other white man In
America enjoys. For a number OF
Years since the scarcity of mill labor
has been felt the South Carolina manu-
facturers of the Piedmont section have
been in the habit of sending agents
among these people, who would bring
them to the mill towns, but their eff
forts have not been greatly successful.
The mountaineer loves his home, rude
and squalid though 1t be, and those
who have come little southwark or
eastward have In many instances soon
returned to their poverty, their brac-
ing air and the chill waters of the
springs, which is their chief boast.
When the mill Is built in the noun
tains the mountain jewellers will have
Its advantages and will still be az
home. 1t will place schools and church
es directly among them and will intro
duce civilization which agriculture,
it seems, could hardly bring about.
The manufacturer Is doubtless tempt
ed to make the experiment because OF
the prospect Of an unfailing supply of
efficient and satisfied labor. Addition
ally unlimited water power will be
available. While the raw cotton is not
grown In the mountains, it is produced
at their feet, and when 1t is remember
ed that Piedmont, South Carolina and
North Carolina now produce not moro
than fourth Of the cotton which 10
spun In that section it will be seen
that the item of hauling the entire sup
ply instead Of the larger portion some
twenty-five or thirty miles farther by
railroad is Of no Industrial Importance.
Writers who have made practice
Of bewailing the horrors Of child la
Dor In the South will have the oppor-
tunity Of learning something from a
mountain mill. Much as child labor
is to be deplored. 1t Is possible that in
spite OF 1t the conditions of life In
some parts Of the world may be i'm
proved by the building of cotton mills,
and it may be that they will eventually
be the instrument for the lifting Of a
considerable population from slough
of despond, from state which has IL
the past seemed hopeless.

CHAPTER XIV.

Angela and Major Butler were stand
ing on the platform at Janenne Station
when the little engine with its freight
of three carriages steamed in. Mrs. Spry
was so eager to open the door herself
when the train came to a standstill that
she gave O'Rourke no chance to render
her that small service. The widow fell
upon Angela with great fervor, kissed
her, held her at arms length to observe
her, and then embraced her. O'Rourke
busted himself in collecting )frs. Spry's
belongings and his own. Whilst the two
women were still locked in their second
embrace, the major caught sight Of him,
aud came to his assistance, unwittingly.
Hal" cried the major, heartily.
"You're back again? Glad to see you p
you know Mr.. O'Rourke, don't you p
said Mrs Spry, drawing Angela forward.
'You don't know how kind he has been.
I'm sure cayn't tell what should have
done if it hadn't been for him."
O'Rourke emerged from the railway
carriage and raised his hat to Angela
who responded to his salute somewhat
coolly, as he fancied.
"What?" said the discerning young gen
tleman to himself, Does she object al
ready to my travelling In the same car
rage with all those dollars? wonder
Il shall have trouble with her?''
During Mrs. Spry's visit Angela heart
more than enough of O'Rourke's praises
The fortunate young gentleman was al
ways doing something which, in the pref
tv widows fancy was worthy of admira
ton. or saying something which was wor
~, r., he repea ted Angela had genuine
liking for her guest and genuine unlik
ing for O'Rourke; but she could not Sc
bar way to exposing his tactics.

AN INTERESTING TRIAL.
Sharp Controversy Between Law
yers in Probate Court.

A notable trial came Off, Tuesday
before Probate Judge Fuller in which
Bert Rathbeen was plaintiff and &c
Chriswel was defendant. As it was
a criminal prosecution, Prosecuting At
torney Disney appeared for the state
and Harvey A. Thomas represented
the defendant. The parties in the suit
live near Clear Lake, in the southwest
ern part Of the county, and the eontro-
versy resulted from a dispute as to the
location of a boundary line between
Kathleen, whose title was a govern
ment patent, and Chriswell, who held
miners claim. II appeared that a
fence built by Rathbeen projected over
onto the land claimed by Chriswell and
the latter had removed the portion Of it
on the land claimed by him and Rath-
been had him arrested for the act on
a charge Of malicious mischief When
the case came to trial a sharp contro-
versy arose between the opposing at
torneys as to the admission Of certain
evidence tending to show an adverse
title to the land in dispute covered by
Kathleen patent The defendants .
attorney claimed that under the rules
of evidence he had right to contro-
vert every material allegation of the
prosecution and that the title to the
lard WA a material part Of the states
case. The states attorney maintained
that the question Of land title even in a
criminal action was beyond the juris-
iiction of the court and could not be
presented to the jury The defense set
up The pIca that ia the criminal action .
the probate court should admit the evil
lence Of the defendant showing mis- {
Slain of ownership OF the land in ques- c
ion In order to show that his intent G
vas not malicious in removing the Y
'ence. The court sustained the posi- {
ion of the prosecuting attorney and t
uIed the evidence out. On trial the t
ury returned a verdict of guilty, and a t
inc Of $50 was imposed t

AN APPETIZER FOR PASSENGERS
A Boy, WheeIbarrOw and a Biz
Bucket o. Dining Car SIOp.

An interesting incident occurs eacl
morning when east-bound passenger
train No. 2 arrives. 1t is usually quite
lengthy train and when it stops at the
depot the mail, baggage and dining
cars occupy the tract back as far the
railing around the little park. There is
a space about ten feet wide between
this fence and the train and all passen-
gers arriving or departing must walk
from one to three car lengths down the
grave walk between the train and the
park fence. The dining car stops
usually with its forward end about the
opening of this little lane. Judging
from what transpires at that point the
most important reason for which the
train is stopped is to enable the cooks
IN the diner to get rid of their slopss
the loading and unloading of passengers
being merely incidental. A boy with
wheelbarrow and anold iron tub always
meets the train just at the opening of
this lane and the slop cans from the
kitchen of the dining car are emptied
into the tub with a great and mighty
slosh that sends a spray of dishwater
and discarded grub several feet. Ere
luentiy there is more slop than the tub .
will hold and it is spilled over the walk.
The tub has grieyous rent in the side
md few other holes through which
he liquid slop spurts in Jets and streams.
The boy is full Of business and usually
inds it necessary to start with his load
own the path whore all passengers are /
assing to and from the train. the
lop from the holes in the tub squirt
lg entirely across the path. so that
very one must either climb the train
T. hike. 1t is understood there is a city
requiring the boy with his
'heelbarrow and leaky tub to receive
ne Stops from the other side of the :
AIN where no passenger could witness
ne beautiful squirting fountain from
lie leaky tub. The incident always at
acts the attention of passengers. so
nat they always go away with me-
ento of their trip to Shoshone.
