Another new county scheme is
on foot to cut off portions of
territory from Darlington, Chester
field and Lee counties, with Harts-
Vile as the county seat. 1t seems
to us that in the face of the
universal cry of hard times it is
the wrong time to be forming new
counties to increase taxes already
so high.

But however fantastic the capers
cut by the hospi.able and ubse-

Highness to honor that paladisaic

that excites ridicule and derision
among decent and self-respecting

Hearken to the language of the

ciples of Jeffersonian and Bryan

of this opportunity to say to you
that if You knew the heart and

and particularly of Birmingham,
YOU would know that they regard
the result of the last election as
a benedlction from God Almighty
Himself to tie people of the
South over their own protest.

protestation ad nauseam. The

the abundance of your loving
kindness and mercy you should
deign to overlook the blind parti-
sanship of environment and see
fit to bestow upon me the bene-
dichon of your favor in tangible

General Rhodes should modify
the order. He not only does not
represent the ''men of the South,
but merely the hungry horde Of
camp-followers always to be fount

Millions I'm Flowers.

Horticulture has developed rapidly as
an American industry. Seventy years
ago one OF the largest seed and flower
firms found ample room for IFS business
in a small building in one OF our large cit
les. That firm today has acres Of stores.
warehouses and greenhouses, and has
agents in all paris Of the world whose
business II is TO secure the best seed,
plants and bulbs that may be had. This
is but one Of the many enterprises that
have been created by the general Amer
ican love OF flowers. The magnitude OF
OF the business is shown by the figures oi
the last census taken in 1900. Ten years
ago the retail value Of cut flowers was
estimated at $1,000 900, and Of plants.
sl0,OO0,0O0. OF all cut flowers roses led
in value at 81, ,OoO. 900; carnations, 1900
900; alloiher kinds, s., 10000. The pop
ularity Of the carnation, Is easily under
stood. as il has beauty, fragrance and en-
durance. Though native Of Europe,
more than 500 varieties. all Of American
origin, are now cultivated in this eoun-
try.

A Yirginian Solves Mystery.

"Who struck Billy Patterson ?" is the
question that has gone into history.
1t is frequently asked by persons who
have no idea who BILLY" Patterson was,
for it has become stock expression, sig
nifying mystery.
But now comes T. NJ. Lake, formerly
OF Fauquier county, Va, and now a re-
tired merchant of HigginsviIle, Mo, who
says he knows all about the striking Of
Patterson.
Mr.. Lake was a young friend Of the man
who struck the blow. "Billy" Patterson,
according TO Mr.. Lake, was the bully of
Richmond, Va, almost 72years ago. He
was big man, who loved fighting almost
as well as he loved whiskey, and pre-
ferred the two together.
The day Patterson was struck the blow
which thrust his name into Immortality he
had obtained liquor, but was finding It
difficult 10 get fight. He had taken up
a position in the center Of much travel
ed sidewalk and was making all pasSers
take to the street. He was particularly
insulting TO a crowd OF medical students
who passed on their way to a nearby
students hotel.
Among these students was Albin Payne,
a young man from Fauquier county, rel
alive OF Admiral Semmes, and a man OF
lighting blood. When the group OF STU
dents submitted to the indignities offered
by Patterson, Payne's fighting blood was
aroused.
"Let me at the bovine" he said, as he
walked up TO Patterson. Perhaps Pat
terson was TO much surprised to defend
himself, for only one blow was struck,
and BILLY" Patterson went down with a
thud. II was believed at first that he was
killed, and the students fled TO their hotel
and held hasty conference and vowed
not TO tell who struck the blow.
Hardly had Payne been taken out side
way to another students lodging house
when the police arrived, demanding the
man "who struck Billy Patterson" All
the students were questioned, but each
denied that he had struck Patterson.
Though it soon became apparent that Pat
terson WIS not dangerously injured, the
students kept their VOW, Payne prefering
10 avoid noteriety. Payne afterward be-
came widely known as a magazine writ
er, under the nom de plume Of Nicholas
Coirern -

How TO be Poor.

A lady walking with her husband, and
seeing a carriage 90 by, said TO him
"Look at that splendid carriage, Judge
H. and his wife are driving about in.
only wish we could be so lucky" Up
in the carriage the judges wife was say
ing TO him: al am getting positively
ashamed OF this old rig. Look how the
people stand and stare at us in contempt.
II you do not wish TO drive me TO despair
you must buy a new turnout"
A king riding along a highway passed
the stonebreaker by the wayside. Thought
the stone-breaker :;"Oh, that were like
that king, possessed Of all that heart could
wishp The monarch, glancing al him,
was murmuring TO himself: "Would that
were like that man, so free from anxiety
with so little worry and care !"
Did you ever read the fable Of the bee
tie and the weather-oock "How fine, !"
said the beetle, ito be up there; what
splendid views; how clear the atmos-
phere I" "Yes," said the weather-cock.
and iiyou were up here, you would know
how keenly blows the wind !"
The fancies OF life keep us poor. Dis
content is poverty. The less-favored
woman we have mentioned as walking
was poor. The judges wife was poor.
The breaker was poor. And the
monarch was poor. Poverty IS largely
matter Of fancy. The real poverty is
in the mind-in the minds attitude.
Goodness, with contentment, is great
gain"

What a Travelling Man Saw.

The Hagerstown Herald of a few days
ago says:
]. A. DenniSon, of the Dennison Lum-
Der Co., Hagerstown, has just returned
from trip through North Carolina. Mr..
Dennison covered the whole State thor
oughly well and visited the towns Of Raj
eigh, Durham, Sanford, Fayetteville, VII
son and many Of the smaller towns.
Mr.. DenniSon says that North Carolina
became dry territory last spring and that
he paid particular attention to this new
order of things in the State. He says
that if anyone says prohibition does not
prohibitin North Carolina, he is mistaken
A person can not buy liquor. Some is
shipped in from other States, but COM
paratively few people get liquor this way.
On his trip through the State Mr.. Denni-
son says he saw only one man under the
influence of liquor.
He said he had talked with a number OF
men in the State and asked their opinion
of the prohibition Of the sale OF liquor.
He said almost everyone told him they
would not have the old order Of things
restored if they could and that the State
was thoroughly dry. Many lumber men
told him that when liquor could be pur-
chased in the State, on Monday they
were often unable to run their mills be-
cause most of the crew would be drunk.
Now they run with full crews and they
have no drunkenness among the men.
Mr.. Dennison said he has travelled in
the State for some years and never before
has he seen so much building being done.
The buildings are also Of substantial
kind, being business places. Municipal
Improvements was another noticeable
feature, streets etc. being paved.
Mr.. Dennison showed Raleigh paper
in which, Fred A. Olds, secretary of the
Raleigh Chamber of commerce, made his
report, which shows that the city OF Raj
eigh in the past year has advanced along
lines of business. Among the improve
ments enumerated in the report were:
Electric power plant, new hospital, new
school buildings, public and private
brick making plants, new knitting mills,
increased fire protection, new railway,
new laundry and an orphanage and many
other business places.
