everybody was in good humor, and
Mr.. Stephens was reclining on his bed
and told anecdote after anecdote about
the old Wings and how he met the
Democrats on the stump, and what
they said and what he said, and he
most always got the advantage and
carried the crowd with him. I was
very much fascinated with his CONVEX
sation, but couldent help being re-
minded Of a circumstance that trans
pired some years before in the town
of Calhoun. The Wings of Gordon
county had sent for Mr.. Stephens to
come up and make speech and rally
the boys for the next election, for
Gordon was pretty equally balanced
between Wings and Democrats, and
the Wings wanted a big revival. So
Aleck accepted, and when the day
came the crowd was tremendous. The
DOAAoCA dIo udO IAAcu W ScL LOWELL
Cobb and Herschel Johnson to come
up and reply to Aleck, but they could
ent come, and SO little Aleck had it
all his own way. In the meantime the
Democratic boys had hunted up A. M.
Russell and got his promise to reply to
Mr.. Stephens. Russell was an origi-
nal genius. He was gifted in Ian
guage, gifted in Imagination, gifted
In cheek, gifted in lying, and was ut
terly regardless of consequences.
Mr.. Stephens made a splendid
speech. He arraigned the Democracy
and held them up to ridicule, and
when he got through the Wings were
more than satisfied, too-he came
down from the stand and was receiv-
ing the congratulations of his friends,
when suddenly Russell mounted the
rostrum and, rapping on the plank in
front OF him, screamed out one un-
earthly yell: "'Fellow citizens!'
Everybody knew him, and everybody
wanted to hear him, and hushed into
silence. After a sentence or two Mr..
Stephens was attracted to him, and
with curios and astonished interest, in
quired, "Who is that MANI" After
Russell had paid an eloquent tribute
to the glorious old Democratic party,
and given it credit for every good
thing that had been done since the fall
Of Adam, he then turned to Mr.. Steph-
ems, and, with a sneering scorn, said:
And what have you and your party
been trying to do?-what made you
vote away the public lands so that
yankees and furriners could get 'em
and our people couldent? What made
you vote for high tariff on sugar and
coffee and raise the price so that our
poor people couldent buy it?" Mr..
Stephens rose excited and irritated,
and stretching his long arm to the
audience, screamed out: 81 never did
it, my fellow citizens-I deny the fact
and call upon the gentleman for his
proof" With the utmost self-posses-
sion, Russell said, "You do-you call

| look at postage-stamp it carries me
away back. Back to the time when
my father was postmaster and I was
clerk, and had to make up the mails in
country town. The difference be-
tween now and then shows that the
world S progress in this department
is hardly .excelled in any other branch
OF improvement. We couldn't bear
to be set back again in the old ways
that our fathers thought were pretty
good. There were no stamps no en-
velopes and no mucilage. The paper
was folded up like thumbpaper, and
one side slipped in the other and seal
ed with wrapper. The little school
boys, you know, had to use thumb
papers IN their spelling books to keep
them clean where their dirty thumbs
kept the pages open. Girls didn't
have to use any, for they were nicer
and kept their hands clean, and didn't
wear out the leaves by the friction
of their fingers. Boys are rough
things anyhow, and 1 don't see what
a nice, sweet, pretty girl wants with
one OF 'em. Girls they say are made
OF sugar and spice and all that s nice,
but boys are made Of snaps and snails
and puppy dogs tails. Josephus says,
that when the Queen Of Sheba was
testing Solomon's wisdom, she had
fifty boys and fifty girls all dressed
alike In girls clothes and seated
around big room, and asked the king
to pick out the boys from the girls,
and he called for basin of water and
had it carried around to each one and
told them to wash their hands. The
girls all rolled up their sleeves little
bit, the boys just sloshed their hands
IN any way and got water all over
their aprons, and so the king spotted
every mothers son of 'em.
The postage used to be regulated by
the distance that Uncle Sam carried
the letters. 1t was II 1-2 cents any,
where in the State, and Is 3-4 cents
to Charleston, and Is cents to New
York. 1t was never prepaid. A man
could afflict another with a pistareen
letter that WASH t worth five cents. A
plstafeen, you know, was Is 3-4 cents
that is a sevenpence and a thrip.
We had no dimes or half-dimes. The
dollar was cut up into eighths instead
Of tenths. When countryman called
for letters and got one, he would look
at it some time and turn it over and
mediate before he paid for it, and
very often they would say, "Where
did this letter come from?" Well, I
would say for instance, cit came
from Dahlonega-don't you see Dab
lonega written up on the corner?"
Then he would say, "Well, I reckon
it's from Dick, my brother Dick. He
is up there diggin' gold. Don't you
reckon it's from Dick 20 ~ reckon

it and see?" Ono, I'll wait until I
get home. They'll all want to see it.

good, clever, honest people and paid
their debts, but they hardly ever paid
up in full at the end of the year, and
SO they gave their notes for the bal
ance and made their mark. My father
used to say that he had known cases
where man swore off his written
signature, but he never knew a man
to deny his mark. Our big northern
mail used to come in stage from
Madison twice a week, and I used to
think the sound of the stage horn as
the stage came over the hill was one
OF the sublimest things in the world,
and | thought that if I ever got to
be a man [ would be a stage-driver
if | could. Well, I came pretty near
it, for my father had hired man
to ride the mail to Roswell and back
twice week, and the man got sick
and so my father put me on a drome-
Diary of horse and the mail in some
saddle bags behind me, and l had to
make the 4S miles in day, and kept
it up all the winter. I like to have
frozen several times, and had to be
lifted off the horse when I got home,
and it nearly broke my mothers
heart, but I was getting a dollar
trip and it was my money, and so I
wouldn t back out. The old women on
the route used to crowd me with their
little commissions and get me to bring
them pepper, or copperas, or bluing,
or pins and needles, or get me to take
along some socks and sell them. and
SO [ made friends and acquaintance
all the way. The first trip I made, an
old woman hailed me and said, care
you a mail boy?'' Why, yes, man., /"
said |. "You didn't think I was a
female boy, did you?'' I thought that
was smart, but it wasent very civil
and it made her SO mad she never
told me what she wanted, and as she
turned her back on me I heard her
say, "1ll bet he is little stuck up
town boy"
My father was postmaster for near
ly thirty years. It didn't pay more
than about 5000 a year, but it made
his store more of public place. He
dident know that anybody else ham
kered after it or was trying to get it,
but all of a sudden he got his orders
to turn over the office to another man.

The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1909-08-26

Labor Day has become an established
institution, distinctly to the advancement
of the welfare of one of the most i'm
portant factors in the American prosper
ity and progress. 1t is wholesome
thing thus to set apart certain day In
the name of the workers of the country,
as recognition of their contribution to
the advancement of the country and
tribute to them. 1t arrests national
thought and concentrates attention upon
the fact that this is a highly complex
organization, with all the elements mu-
tually dependent. The day is more than
holiday for the sake of rest 1t at
fords an opportunity and it furnishes an
incentive for reckoning up the situation
as large from the broadcast possible view
point. 1t is calculated, too, to make for
a more intelligent appreciation by both
sides of the great productive combina
ton, the employer and the unemployed,
of the conditions which should in justice
and equity govern their relations. Every
celebration of the day should score an
advance toward practical lasting har
mony, and thus toward the ideal state of
social organization.

1t was established as holiday by the

OF the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co. by

Perkins testified that there was u
general feeling IL the Tennessee Coal

various loans 1t would prevent great
many failures and avert further
spread of the panic that had swept
the country over year ago. II was
suggested that the United States Steel
corporation take these securities and
relieve that part OF the situation. The
corporation furnished its per cent
second mortgage bonds in lieu o.
cash. and In this way put In lieu OF
these loans, securities that were mar
ketable.
The testimony OF Perkins agrees
with the story published some time
