growing ever attempted in
southern New Mexico. Both the
Turks are expert yineyardists
and have spent their lives in
grape culture on the little island
which produces the finest cranes
in the world. II there expert
ment proves successful it is
probable a number of their
countrymen will follow them to
the Mimbres valley since poIiti-
cal conditions in their native
land are now so disturbed as to
make residence there unpleas-
ant. The sale Of the place was
made through l.. G.. Britton,

never was a man who tried to manage
his plantation who could get anything
like the work out Of his hands that.
Senator Tillman can.
He remained on the farm, managing
1t for his mother, until 1884. By that
time the acreage of the Tillman estate
had increased from the 1900 or 5000
acres that his mother had to $4,000 or
10000 acres. TiIlman was running be-
tween thirty and forty plows when the.
seeding time came.
Bad crops. bad times and general
hard luck brought about crash, and

the classes in the eastern and western
parts of the state almost as complete
as that which the war had created be-
tween the land proprietors and the
slaves. Until reconstruction occurred
South Carolina never had real popu-

only. The coast counties had been set

unfair representation, and the city Of

to dominate state affairs. The farm

suffered and it was alleged that pref

body polite was wrong.

John A. Lomax, associate professor
OF English in the State Agricultural
and Mechanical college at College Sta
tion, near San Antonio, Tex, is pre-
pairing a compilation of native ballads
and songs Of the west, particularly
those known as cowboy songs" Mr..
Lomax says these songs have for the
most part never been in print, but, like
Che Masonic ritual, are handed down
from generation to generation by word
OF mouth. He has collected nearly
100 and is certain there are many 9TH
ers. which he hopes to secure. These
songs deal mostly with the range and
with heroes Of tragedy and despera-
does like Jesse James and Sam Bass.
They also include ballads Of buffalo
hunters, freighters and rangers. Mr..
Lomax does not draw the line and is
Ms anxious to secure those that are
crude and even vulgar as the printable
sort, like that one familiar In all cow
camps that begins, BURY me not on
the lone prairie-e."

the English language. He is particu-

the presence Of women and never uses
any phrases to offend the most deli

CLARA MORRIS POWER.
Famous Actress Remarkable Conn
nand Of Facial Expression.

Famous Actress Remarkable Com
mand Of Facial Expression.
An interesting story Of the power of
Clara Morris, the famous actress, Is
related as follows by J. H Etoddart
IN one OF his books:
"All the great actors I have ever
seen had mannerisms. Macready,
Charlotte Cushman, Kean, all Of them
had mannerisms in delivery, a certain
chopping of the sentences; they eiectri-
fed their audiences.
"Clara Morris had the most absolute
command of facial expression of any
actress that can recall.
"When / acted the part of DR.. Os-
borne with her in Miss Mutton had
one proof of this. In the death scene
she would be sitting there, her face
CHASTITY white with bismuth, and on
the delivery of the words, Maurice
for Gods sake-let me see-my chill
dren,' the tears would make a furroW
in the pigment on her cheeks.
1.-THE Maurice of the cast and I
would both weep. We could not help
it. In the audience in front Of us wea
would see many moved to tears.
I'm such a moment as this Miss Nor
ris has turned to me, made a grimace
and said, Look at Maurice and there
stood Maurice, as moist as a Scotch
mist. In flash she had turned her
face to the audience and begun her
lines, and the tears would go trickling
down her cheeks again.
"She was crude in those days; but,
as have said of Cushman and the
rest, there was something behind it all
that electrified"

Humorist Of Herculean Caliber.
Benjamin r. Tiilman has ever been
the despair Of analysts. On one point.
however, they are all at one-he is
humorist Of herculean calibef. Besides
being man Of great mental capacity,
he is endowed with keen sense OF
the ludicrous and talent for calling
attention to various incongruities as
they happen. When he first landed in
the senate there was disposition to
take him seriously, but it would not
do. Between Tillman in earnest and
Tillman in Jest there is vital differ
ence, and his colleagues soon learned
to discriminate.
One day, when the South Carolina
senator was engaged In spirited col
llo0uy with Senator Bailey Of Texas.
