RED EYE REBUkED.
Notable Correspondence About the
Great Illusion Producer.

A few years before his death.
Robert G. Ingersoll, the inf1del,
wrote the following letter to his
friend, DR.. Buckley, and received
the appended reply:
Dear Buckley: / send you some
of the most wonderful whiskey that
ever drove the skeleton from the
feast or painted the landscape in the
brain of man. 1t is the mingled
souls of wheat and corn. In it you
will find the sunshine and shadow
that chased each other over billOwy
fields, the breath of June, the carol
of the lark, the dew Of the night,
the wealth of summer, an autumn's
rich content all golden with impris-
oned light. Drink it and you will
hear the voice Of men and maidens
singing the harvest home, mingled
with the laughter of children. Drink
it and you feel within your blood
the starred dawns, the dreamy,
tawny dusks of perfect days.
Your FRIEND,
Robert G.
Ny Dear Bob: l return to you
some of the most wonderful whis-
key that ever brought the skeleton
into the closet, or painted scenes
of lust and blood-shed in the brain
of man. 1t is the ghost of wheat and
corn, crazed by the loss of their
natural bodies. In it you will find
transient sunshine traced by a
shadow as cold as an arctic mid
night, in which the breath of June
grows icy and the carol of the lark
gives place to the foreboding cry OF
the raven. Drink it and you shall
have "woe." SORROW" "babbling,' y
and wounds without cause.
Your eyes shall behold strange
women and your heart shall utter
perverse things. Drink it deep and
you shall hear the voice of demons
shrieking, women wailing and worse
than orphaned children mourning
the loss of a father who yet lives.
Drink it deep and long and serpents
will hiss in your ears, coil them
selves about your neck and seize you
with their fangs. At last it biteth
like a serpent and stingeth ike an
adder. For forty years this liquid
death has been confined within
slaves of oak, harmless there as
purest water. I send it to you that
you may put an enemy in your
mouth to steal away your brains
and yet 1 call myself your friend.

STRIPES FOR MITCHELL.
The Governor of Georgia Refuses to
Extend Clemency to Prominent
Man.

Atlanta, Sept. 1.--.Gov. Brown this
afternoon announced that he would
not approve the recommendation of
the prison commission that the SEN
tence of William H. Mitchell, prom
inent citizen of Thomasville, Ca,
convicted of attempt assault on a
highly respected young woman and
relative of his wife, he changed
from a year on the chaingang to
similar period on the State farm at
Milledgeville. Sheriff Singleton OF
Thomas county was notified by tele-
graph to take Mitchell into custody.
The governors decision ends one
of the most remarkable cases in
Georgia's legal history.
Mitchell's friends have exhausted
every effort to save him from con-
vict's stripes and the executive rul-
ing came as a great surprise to them.
In denying clemency to Mitchell,
Gov. Brown said:
SHOULD the clemency asked for
in the petition be extended, there is
grave danger that it would bear
fruits of sorrow in every section OF
our State. 1t would set an example
pernicious beyond compare, an exam
pie embodying a daily menace to
Georgia's womanhood. 1t would say
that we have one law for the rich
another for the poor; one law fo1
the highly educated, another fol
those too poor to enjoy the advan-
tages; one law for the classes, anoth-
er for the masses"

Prohibition Prohibited.

This is the official statement of
the United States government, for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909,
the comparison being with the pre-
vious year. The drop in the produc-
ton of whiskey was 4,S2S,26S gal
Ions, sbeing more than 3 per cent of
the previous years production. The
decrease in the beer item was 2,444,-
1873 gallons, per cent of the pro-
duction. Uncle Sam lost nearly
eight millions in taxes, but the peo-
pie are ahead by nearly eighty mil
lions that did not go for beer and
whiskey. If it be true that more
liquor is consumed under prohibi-
ton" the moonshiners must have
made rivers and ponds of it that es-
capped taxation. But it is the claim
of increased consumption that is
"moonshine," and everybody knows
it-Cumberland Presbyterian.

Three Sisters in Triple Romance

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The three
beautiful Lamson sisters, Lillian, FL
sic and Agnes, No. 6s6 Jackscc
Boulevard, will be married in trip
ceremony at St. Jarlath's churcL
Jackson Boulevard and Ogden ave
nue. on Saturday. The Rev. Father
Kennedy, personal friend of the sis
ters, will oficiate.
The triple ceremony plans were as
great a surprise to the three brides
to be as to any one else. Each had
confided the date on which she
wanted the ceremony performed to
her mother, but had not told her
sisters. Mrs. Lamson was such a
secret keeper that it was some time
before the daughters knew that all
were to be married at the same time
and the same place.
Neither were the three young men
who will become the other principals
in the triple event told of the plans
before they were all laid.
The interesting trio, known as
:'the Lamson girls" each met the
man of her choice on the same day.
The eldest man fell in love with the
youngest girl and the youngest man
with the oldest girl. 1t transpired
today that the couples all became
engaged on the same day.
The young men say beauty runs in
the entire Lamson family, but each
says he had no trouble in picking out
the best looking sister. No two agree
on which one it is, however. The
young people relate several amusing
experiences they had while trying to
use the same front parlor for three
distinct courtships.:

daughters, but son aged fifteen, re-

FLOOD REPORTS CONFIRMED.
Estimates of Loss in Mexico Sustain
ed-Relief Sent.

Monterey, Mex, Sept. 2.-As com,
munication is gradually restored
with the flood-swept section of north
ern Mexico previous reports as to
losses of life and property are con-
firmed.
Belated dispatches received at the
headouarters of the Third military
zone in this city today tell of dam
age to the towns of Rayons and Ca
leana and of the practical destruc-
ton of the towns of Meier, General
Bravo and Carmargo. Meagre re-
ports of the damage at Victoria, the
capital of the State of Tammaullpas,
and other towns along the Tampico
branch of the Mexican Central rail-
road, to the southeast OF this city,
have also been received.
Great strides were made today IN
the relief work in Monterey and the
refugees are being taken care OF as
we'll as possible. Much money has
been received from all over the re.
public and the United States, but
principally from San Antonio and
other Texas cities. The destructlon
wrought by the food comprises lO2
city blocks in three different sections
of the city. These districts are
nothing but a mass of ruins and in
most cases swept clean, leaving moth
ing but deposits of sand. Z.
The stencil arising along the river
is almost unbearable and fear Is
now felt that much sickness will re-
suit. This stencil indicates that
many bodies are partly buried in the
sands and under the ruins.
The first relief car arrived lasl
night from San Antonio and the 1000
and wearing apparel will be turned
over to the relief committee working
in conjunction with Consul Genera
Hanna. Another carload OF supplies
arrived this afternoon.
1t was officially announced that nc
train will be run by the Natlona
line between Monterey and Saltille
for at least one month. Communi
cation will be maintained by way o1
the Paredon branch, which was open
ed this afternoon, and the first tralr
for Mexico City which has left here
since August 26 left tonight.
A regular schedule is being main
tanned between this city and Laredo
and supplies destined for relief are
now coming in.
United States Consul General P. G
Hanna has been appointed head o.
the Red Cross society in Mexico anc
will act in connection with the Mexl
can Red Cross society. Through nj:
efforts all goods intended for relie1
purposes will be admitted free o
duty when consigned to him. The
railroads will also transport goods
of this class free of charge.

COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.
lore Than One-third of Spindles Of
the South are in South Carolina.

Of the S115,717,O0O Invested in
ctton mills in the South, S40,010,-
80 is invested in South Carolina, or
ore than one-third.
Of the 11,720,100 spindles in the
762 Southern cotton mills, 4,404,679
are in the 1872 South Carolina mills,
or more than one-third the total
number of Southern spindles.
North Carolina, with 315 mills,
has a greater number of mills than
South Carolina, with 152 mills, but
the South Carolina mills are larger,
averaging $4,000 spindles for the
North Carolina mills; the capital in
vested in South Carolina is s40,010,-
900 against s34,9S2,000 in North
Carolina.
In other words South Carolina is
still the leader among Southern
states in cotton manufacturing, and
in the whole Union South Carolina
is second only to Massachusetts,.
The figures given above are COM
piled by the Textile Manufacturer
for it's Southern Cotton mill direc-
tory, which has just been completed.
The figures do not include ally WOOL
en- mills and no knitting mills except
those spinning their own yarn. The
territory embraced, it is stated, COW
ers Texas and Oklahoma 10 the west
and Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia
to the north.
There are 1852 cotton mills in the
South, with 11,720,100 spindles and
l267,430 looms. The total capitalize
tion is 115,717,0O0, which is re-
markably low, being only about $40
per spindle. On basis of $40 per
spindle, which may be said to be
the average cost, the amount invest
ed in Southern mills is estimated
at s240,000,000.
The average size of the Southern
mills is 15,400 spindles, but the av-
erage for South Carolina, as stated
above, is nearly double the general
average, being $4,000 spindles.
Georgia has almost as many mills,
l13S, as South Carolina, but they av-
erage only $4,000 spindles, which is
about half the size of the average
South Carolina mill and the total
number of spindles in Georgia is l.
908,564.
Alabama has almost an even mill
lion spindles, which divided among
her 66 mills gives an average size OF
5000 spindles or slightly larger
than Georgia.
These four States-South Caro-
lima, North Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama-together have 671 out of
the 762 cotton mills in the entire
South, and in the order named they
rank in number of spindles and cap
ital invested.
mill building in the South" says
the Textile Manufacturer, "has in
our opinion just begun and we pre-
dict that the next decade will show
remarkable advances. 1t is estimated
that between s15,000,00O and $2O,-
100000 will be expended for new
mills and enlargements this year
and should business boom this fall
the above figures will be greatly ex-
ceeded during 1910.'

MONUMENT TO VALOR.
Veteran to Erect Memorial at Gettys-
brg Recognizing no Section.

A monument in commemoration OF
American valor without distinction as
to north or south, which will be the
ssfinest memorial on any battlefield
of the world" is to be erected at
Gettysburg by C. N. Mcconnell OF
Chicago. The monument will cost
s15O,00O, according to recent an
nouncement made by Mr.. McConnell:
Telling of his plans, he descrloeo
what he says is the most remarkable
instance of valor on record-the
humiliation of one regiment by an
other.
s'The first day of fighting at Get
tysburg has been slurred over in the
histories" said Mr.. Mcconnell, who
paticipated in the battle, because
It was a decided union defeat. In
that first day the Twenty-fourth
Michigan faced the Twenty-six North
Carolina. At the close of the day
the Twenty-fourth Michigan, my
regiment, had lost 400 of its 500
men. The Twenty-sixth North Caro-
lima had lost 700 of it's 500. No such
fighting was ever known to the mod
ern world. None like it has been
known since.
"It is to glorify the American valor
represented by this little known en-
counter that my monument is to be
put up.
s"The monument will be a sort of
pantheon, with three domes. The
central dome will be gided and will
reach toward heaven. 1t will face
the east, so that the suns first rays
will fall upon it. The right hand
dome will be dedicated to the Twen-
ty-fourth Michigan, the left hand
dome to the Twenty-sixth North
Carolina. The central dome will con-
tain the names of all the soldiers OF
the so called Iron brigade-the sec
ond, sixth, and seventh Wisconsin,
the Twenty-fourth Michigan, the
Fourteenth Indiana and Battery B,
United States artillery-who partici-
pated in the battle, with the excep-
ton of my own name, which will
be omitted. 1t will call special at
tention to the unprecedented fight
ing which took place on the first day
of the battle and will, of course, be
put on the first days field, where
hardly anybody goes at the present
day.
''I hope to have the monument
done in time for the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the battle-in 1913. Artists
in Europe and America are work
ing on the design now. In case I
should die before it is completed /
have left a provision for it in my
will

AUTO PLUNGES INTO RIVER.
White Boy and Negro Went With it,
but Neither was Hurt.

Greenville, Sept. 1.-What came
near being a serious accident hap
pened at Piedmont Sunday after
noon, when the automobile o; Mr.. j..
J. McAlbee, manager o. the Hamp-
ton Mercantile company at Piedmont,
was accidentally run into the Saluda
river by Mr.. McAlbee's son, as the
machine was crossing the river on a
bridge. The automobile sank out Of
sight, but fortunately no one was in
jured. The machine was recovered
later.
The only occupants of the auto
at the time of the accident were the
son of the owner and a negro boy.
Mr.. McAlbee's son was driving the
car and as they were about the mid
die of the bridge the wind threaten
ed to blow off young McAlbee's hat,
and he released his hands from the
steering gear in order to hold his
hat on. The machine, unguided,
burst into the railing along the side
of the bridge and plunged into the
river, sinking Immediately out of
sight in 10 feet of water. While on
the downward plunge into the river
the machine turned a complete SOM
ersault, the boy and the negro be-
ing buried beneath the auto. Young
McAlbee swan out and reached the
shore in safety. 1t is said that the
negro pulled off his clothes while
under the auto and came out to the
bank almost nude. The automobile
was recovered after four hours
work.

ey, who claimed before her death to
be one hundred and fifteen years old,
died last week on the place of Mr..
Payne Henderson down near Phoe-
nix. She had certainly passed the
century mark, as is vouched for by
many who knew her. A few years

mother has gradually grown weaker
and weaker until her death last week
ended the career of one who had
looked upon three centuries.-Green-
