Sussex Good Enough For Him.

Hacket, Pa,
June s, 1905.
| EDITOR MILFORD CHRONICLE
II will probably be a surprise to you to hear
from me as 1 am a stranger to you, but not to
your people in Sussex County especially in
Nanticoke. ] write this for the benefit OF the
farmers who are not satisfied with their eli
mate and soil and are always wanting a
change
| / want to first describe the life of miner as
ne actually is in his everyday life at home.and
around the mines. He gets up about I'VE
o'clock six mornings every week and on the
seventh morning he don't generally get up.
for on Saturday night he has few cases or
kegs Of beer and satys up till it is all gone.
His house is a very fine mansion of about 4
rooms, no carpet on the floor; furniture con-
sists Of two long benches, one table, stove and
several empty soap boxes for a cupboard. You
see he cannot afford TO nave any better things
as he needs bis money for beer. For his bed
he gets straw from some farmer; if he cannot
Guy It he gets it anyway. There is no dresser
or washstaud; few old chairs and his truck
are in his bedroom. When ne gets up he dous
his pit clothes. They consist OF a pair of
pants; what the real goods was you can hard.
ly tell there are so many patches; his shirt
he had clean once will not say when; his
cap is brown canvas thing with a piece OF
tin in front of it, to keep the flame of his
torch from burning his head his shoes are
very heavy with hob nails all over the sOes.
They are called pit shoes and his torch is cali.
ed a pit lamp. By the time he eats his break
fast and gets to the pit mouth it is seven
o'clock, starting time. He does not go by his
name while working, but by a number given
him by the pit boss (mine foreman); or weigh
boss (the man who weighs coal for the COM
pany.) He generally fills six to ten wagons
or cars for a days work, S hours. This will
average him about $500. But look what he
pays out Ofthis; he pays the check weighman,
(this is the man who weighs the coal for the
menl, the blacksmith, his union dues, his oil
and mis- rent; now how how much do you
think he has left to live on?
Now his days work is done; he comes home,
puts on a kettle of water to heat so he can
wash and now is where the trouble common
ces. He uses some cheap soap and in hard wa
ter. When you would think he was about
through washing he really has not got start
ed right yet. Around his eyes and ears are
the worst. Well, when that soap gets In eyes,
his religion is soon all gone, if he had any and
then he is what he calls clean again. But you
ought to see him. His eyes and ears look like
some burnt cork comedian.
He is now ready for his supper and then
little walk to the nearest place where he can
get drink, or to the pluck store Company
store) to tell what big day work ne has
done.
Now have told you about all Ofthe miners
way Of living, but l have not told you any /
where's near all the hardships he is up against |
under the earth, sometimes hundreds of feet.
Friends, don't long to leave your farms, but |
long 70 make them better.
Respectfully Yours,
q. y, Fisher.

carefully prepared essay and
Bailey tearing up the boards in the
platform with TRADE against Mr..
Stubbs. Bailey is bitter against
Stubbs and everyone in kansas
knows why. But the voters have
indicated that they do not believe
personal malice gives license to pub
lie abuse. Many of Mr.. Leland's
friends have been disgusted by
Bailey's TRADES. Voters are willing
to listen to a discussion of issues
and principles, but not to an hours
discourse upon the faults of one
individual. Mr.. Balley's speeche,
are known to have made votes for
Stubbs. But Leland knows it too
and it is said that Bailey will make
no more speeches of that nature.
The Leland people have been
unfortunate in that everything they
have tried has fallen down. Every
thing has acted as boomerang. Fsl
two weeks they have laid still. Le
land has lost prestige. Stubbs ha.
gained and the political moves
inaugurated by Leland have beer
partially responsible.

DECORATION.

The annual memorial services oi
the deeds of valor of the brave
young men Of our country, who, In
the carly COS, rushed to the defencs
of the flag, which traitors would
trail in the dust, were celebrated 10
the usual manner in Chanute,
Saturday.
The stores were decorated with
flags and bnnting and the G. A. R.
and hundreds Of other patriotic citi-
zens gathered at the Standard theatre
and listened to an eloquent and stir
ring address delivered by Senator
Lamb of Yates Center.
The graves of the old soldiers in
Elm wood were strcwn with flowers
and in fitting ways their memory
was revived in the hearts Of the
people.
Each year there are more graves
to decorate, and fewer of the old
boys to engage in the service. But
when they are all laid to rest their
memery will still be cherished and
kept alive by patriotic Americans.

they grew up, for the sins OF 'Le
father.
His conscience. if it be not entire
| ly scared will ever rise up before
him like some hideous nightmare,
and he will constantly hear the
words, guilty, guilty of this young
woman's blood.
And though the courts of justice
may not find any way of furnishing
him for his crime, he will be punish
ed in this world and the world to
come.
This girls blood is upon his head
and try as he may, he can never
Danish this gaunt spectre OF accusa'
ton.
That shrek of death must ever
ring in his ears and those beseach-
ing eyes as they turned from MS
face to darkness must have indelioly
stamped themselves on his vision.
Though he has escaped the peniten
tiary, yet punishment ten times as
severe from which he never cav
escape, is his.
His life is ruined and sorrow and
remorse takes the place OF pleasure.
Scorned and detested by all good
people, he must become an outcast
from society. Go where he may
he cannot escape the ACQUISITIONS of
a guilty conscience.
The visions of that home whose
sanctity he has violated; the picture
of that old father and mother whom
he has bereft of a daughter, must
ever be present with him.
Truly, his punishment will be
fearful.

ABOUT THE TWC-CENT FARE

A report from an Iowa railroad
shows that the receipts fIem pass n
ger fares have been greater sir o
the rate was cut down to q straight
2ccnts per mile than before the redua
tion was made. We would also be. NslA
Ing to wager little somthi. 81 II We
we're dead game slort .aat what i
true Of the Iowa roa.s ia allo true Of
the leading roats IN tbe state of KaR
sac.
In spite sf the finap.cial furry which
neoe essariiy affected business inc udiRg
railroad traYel somewhat. we think
that an honest statement from the
Santa Fe, the Union Pacific or Rock
Island will show that the passenger
receipts have increased under the cp
eraUion of the 2 cent fare, Go either
east, west. north or south and YOU
will find the PASSENGER COACHES fAl
and sometimes running over and they
all pay their way.
II used to be q fact that frequently
from third to half Of the passen
I gers on passenger train wers dead
beats. 80 far as the railroad was con
cercerned, Now yeu see almsst no pas
ses, the only ones being In the hands
Of employees Of the road. 1t has been
said that the people who rode on pas
sss before the 2 cent fare and no pass
order went into effect wouei not ride
II they had to pay their fare That IS
nonsense. 1t 10 safe to say that not
one man 10 hundred who used to
carry a pass made practice OF riding
just because he had a pass. II he
needed to 60 anywh ere on business he
of course used his pass, bat he dldnt
as rule Just simply go about for the
sake of the ride, II he has TO go any
where now he goes and pays his fare
like little man aRd he goes as often
as before Mail and Breeze,
