HAMILTON NOT SO GAY
Former Whitman County Man Ian
gushing in Jail at Olympia,
Loses His Nerve

A report from Olympia where Or
It's Hamilton, who claims to have
been 1.-The first white man born in
Whitman county" is firing of his life
in jail breads to go to trial. The
report follows:
Within a few weeks Ortis Hamil-
ton, former adjutant general of the
Washington National Guard, will be
brought to trial in the Thurston
county superior court on charges of
larceny by enlightenment, forgery
and obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. In all he faces four indict-
ments.
During the past week or ten days
away, Hamilton has changed greatly.
The state has announced that it will
continue to fight all proposed delays
and Hamilton, who has been in Jail
since early in May, will without
doubt, unless the unexpected happens
be tried next month. He seems to
realize this, for he is no longer alert
and keenly interested He seems to
be depressed and his health has not
been of the best as he has complain
ed of feeling i'll.
He appears to be realizing the
seriousness of the charges against
him. Few visit him aside from his
attorneys and some friends who keep
him supplied with the late magazines
and papers. Now he is denied the
right of visiting in the sheriff's of
flee except for the purpose of inter
viewing his attorneys. Such a storm
of protest was poured into Olympia
against the liberties given Hamilton,
that the state official and Prosecut-
ing Attorney Wilson cook the matter
up with Sheriff CASTOR and the lat
ter decided to keep Hamilton in Jail
in the future.
At the jail he visits only oc-
casionally with his fellow prisoners.
There are four men in Jail aside
from himself. This number is about
as many as have been in since Ham
ilton was first turned over to the
sheriff.
The announcement made by the
state that ii intends to use every
effort to bring Hamilton to trial at
the November term, and that it is
now ready for trial is annoying to
the defense as 1t is believed that more
time will be sought when the cases
are called up"

Frank-my mother is the limit-still
quoting my brother Frank. We never
know what portion of our belongings
have been handed out to some one
who asked for them. Frank kept his
closet locked until the day he was In
vited to spend the night at Glenwood
and forgot to give the key to the
porter when he sent for his clothes.
Mother had always felt injured by
the locked closet and you should have
seen her face when Frank came home
in a state of foaming wrath. She
| looked like the cat that ate the
| canary. He hasn't locked it since
then. though he runs big risks.
Last week when l came home
found mother in tears. She refused
to explain for some time, | think she
had made up her mind never to tell
but she craved sympathy. 1t seems
that a young man in uniform-she
dwelt upon the uniform as an ex-
tenuating circumstance-had come to
| the door with an express package
charge of $1.55. She said she told
him she didn't know any one in New
York and she thought it queer any
one would send a present with a
charge on it and she thought $1.55 too
much and she had only $3.50 anyway.
The messenger refused the reduced
rates and was going away with the
package when mother managed to
scrape up four pennies, which he &C.
cepted.

pleased expectancy as she opened the

Poor innocent mother said with
great dignity that it wasn't a gold
brick, but a cake of soap, and that
she knew she didn't know much, but
she knew enough not to buy a gold
brick and that any one would have
been taken in by his uniform and that

The South Is Making Silk.

There are few people who know
that North Carolina, among its di-
versifed industries, has a number of
silk mills" remarked Mr.. Thos j.
Pence, a Raleigh man. who is stay
ing at the Stafford Hotel.
'In the growing town Of Wades
boro there are two silk mills, one en-
ploying white labor exclusively, the
other using negro operatives. They
are both prosperous, and their only
handicap is scarcity of help. The
raw material in the form of cocoons
comes from China, and costs from 81
to $50 pound delivered at Wades-
boro, but when spun into silk yarn
it brings the mill owners S. pound
and up, according to the state of
the market. The owners maintain
headquarters in Dover, N. j., but
the product of the mills goes to New
York. The work, which is light anc
clean, gives employment to many
girls and boys, who are able to carr
from S. to 81 week. In the plant
where the colored hands worked {
cheaper quality of silk is produced
the colored employees not having as
yet acquired the skill necessary tt
turn out the finest grades. There
are also other silk factories in the
state, located at Fayetteville, Kins
ton and High Point, and | believe
they are all making good money or
