founders Of the Republican party. Mr..
Bristol at SS was a mine Of history.
He had a keen sense Of humor, too.
Once / asked him If he didn't marVei
at the changes brought about by mod
ern times-at the glorious college girl,
for instance, with her swimming and
iumping and basketball and other ath-
letic attainments.
He said that the athletic girl wasn't
a novelty. She was a recrudescence
He said that in his youth, when
young fellow asked to marry farm
er's daughter. the farmer would pat the
brown cheek of his broad-shouldered
six-foot girl, and say gently:
1T amt everybody I'd trust my lit
tie wood violet to. But, thar, thar, take
her, Bill. But we must take good keer
of her. She's been raised kinder ten
der. Three acres a day, recolleck, 10
all ever ast my little birdie to plow,
and an acre Of corn day Is all she's
used to hoein'. She kin do light work,
sich as diggin' post holes an KILN
hogs, but she amt used to reg lar farm
work, and you mustn't expect too much
of her. It's hard for her old pappy to
give his little sunshine up. He'll have
to split his own wood and dig his own
taters now"

est attorneys do not do something for
the protection of the good name of
their profession. For instance, If a
client who has been cheated goes to
second attorney, and shows that
the first attorney has acted dishon-
estly and in violation of the ethics
Of the profession, is it not the duty
of the second attorney not only to
get Justice for his client, but also
to enter proceedings for the disbar-
ment of the attorney who has de-
graded himself and his profession?
It would seem so to the layman.
Lawyers whose sole objective is the
gathering Of money from clients in
any way possible have no place In
decent community. Men who rob ig-
norant negroes are apt to rob white
men also if they can. A man with
out conscience in one case Is apt to
be without conscience in another. OF
course, Charleston does not suffer so
much in this respect as do some other
communities, but Is 1t not true that
even in this day there are some at
torneys who ought to be defending
themselves instead of defending other
people? It is worth while asking the
question.-News and Courier.

and dishonest men, it would seem that
that of law should be able to do so.
Most of the lawyers work is open.
The courts have ample means of
knowing the character of the indi-
viduals who practice before them,
as have their fellow practitioners, and
yet it may be doubted if any profess
sion harbors so many quacks and
actually dishonest men as does the
profession of law.
We are not speaking particularly
of those skilled men who devise
methods whereby large corporations
may evade the law. Such men are
opposed by others equally able, and
while they may violate the general
moral law, it cannot be said that they
are out of accord with the ethics of
their profession. Our thought is par
ticularly of the little fellows who
make their living bleeding the igno-
rant. 1t is q saying that a poor man
cannot afford to go to court, but it
is not the court fees that cause this.
nor the legitimate fees due the attor-
ney; the reason is largely that the
general public has no means of sep
arating the honest attorney from the
dishonest attorney, and the latter has
small thought for his client.
The condition is not peculiar to
Charleston. 1t exists everywhere.
Generally the shysters have enough
political pull to protect them. but

REBUkED BY A BOY.
How President Lincoln Listened to a
Soldiers Complaint.

Ida M. Tarbell tells a story Of Lin
coin in the American Magazine. 1t Is
Billy Browns account of Lincoln and
his relations with the soldiers. Billy
Brown was an old Springfield, ILL.,,
friend of Lincoln's. Here Is something
that Lincoln himself once said to
Brown:
"A while after Bull Run met boy
out on the street here on crutches,
thin and white, and I stopped to ask
him about how he got hurt. Well, Bill
ly, he looked at me hard as nails, and
he says: BE you Abe Lincoln?' And
l said, Yes Well he says, all I've
got to say is you don't know your job.
enlisted glad enough to do my part,
and I've done it, but you amt done
yourn. You promised to feed me, and
1 marched three days at the beginning
of these troubles without anything to
eat but hardtack and two chunks Of
salt pork-no bread, no coffee-and
got us in one mornin' and marched us
ten miles without breakfast. Do you
call that providin' for an army? And
they sent US down to fight the Rebs at
Bull Run, and when we were doin' our
best and holdin' 'em-I tell you, holdin'
'em-they told us to fall back. swore
Wouldn't hadn't come down there
for that. They made me-rode me
down. got struck-struck in the back.
Struck in the back and they left me
there-never came for me, never gave
me a drink and I dyin' Of thirst.
crawled five miles for water, and I'd be
dead and rottin' in Virginia today If
teamster hadn't picked me up and
brought me to this town and found an
old darky to take care Of me. You
amt doin' your job, Abe Lincoln, you
won't win this war until you learn to
take care Of the soldiers
Il couldn't say a thing. 1t was true.
It's been true all the time. It's true
today We amt taking care Of the
soldiers like we ought"

TARE ON COTTON.
Looks Like There Is to be Some Trou.
BILE on the Subject.

Looks Like mere Is 10 Dc oone irou
BILE on the Subject.
There Is dissatisfaction in the Far
mers' Union over the tare rate on cot
ton. This matter Is reported to have
been considered at recent meetings or
the County Union in Richland. 1t seems
the foreign shippers allow tare mar
gin of 80 pounds to the buyers and
shippers The buyers and shippers
are said to have formed an agreement
among themselves to allow only q
pounds to the bale.
In this connection the Farmers Un-
ion has issued a circular letter In which
the grievance Is presented to the far-
mers with a view to taking some action
relative thereto. Some action was
taken at the last meeting Of the Rich
land County Union, but just what was
done has not been definitely stated, and
will not be until the next meeting OF
the South Carolina State Farmers I'm
ion.
In the issue Of The Farmers Union
Sun of August q, was published the
text of the agreement Of the buyers,
together with q reply by A. ]. A. Per-
ritt, president Of the South Carolina
State Farmers Union.
The articles in question follow:
Agreement Of Spinners and Cotton
Buyers of Columbia, S. c., Territory:
We find it necessary to take some
steps relative to the excessive amount
Of bagging and ties that is now being
put on cotton at the gins. The excess
bagging and ties put on at the gins
is Increasing, and 1t Is now the custom
of many gins to use an unnecessary
amount of bagging and ties in covering
the cotton. The merchant Is billed
back by the spinner with the amount
of excess bagging and ties, and, In
view Of this fact, 1t Is necessary to
take steps to protect ourselves against
this loss. All domestic mills and Eu-
ropean buyers are deducting for excess
bagging and ties, and we, the under
signed, will be forced to do likewise;
therefore on and after September l.,
1909, we will deduct for excess tare as
specified below:
on all cotton carrying more than six
yards bagging, we will deduct two
pounds per yard for each yard in ex-
cess Of six yards, and for bands in ex-
cess of six bands, one pound per band.
We reserve the right to reject cotton
containing a palpable addition OF ex-
cess tare.

Ths Deal Lambs Get.-The late
Francis II. Leggett, New Yorks larg-
est wholesale grocer, had a contempt
for the morals of the average Wall
street man.
Mr. Leggett often used to say:
II once hired an errand boy who. af-
ter l discharged him, no doubt went on
the street. There he should be doing
well.
"The boy was from the country.
He worked for me only about two days
The last day he was with me, 1 sent
him out for 81 worth of stamps, giving
him IS bill.
When he came back with the STAMPS
he didn't offer me any change.
WELL said impatiently, where's
the change, Alfred?
There amt any, sir said he,

A Decoy.

Asa Paine, vice president or the
American Automobile association, said
in st. Augustine Of the automobile in
dustry:
Cars are now made to last. The ricn
man no longer finds his 1907 car un-
fashionable, like his 1907 coat, in 1909.
At the beginning Of the industry, car
was antiquated in no time-so anti
quated that people laughed at it.
They tell a story in Detroit about a
dealer who had, in 1900, an antiquated
1895 car. He tried vainly to sell this
car. He put lower and lower price
tags on it-s1O0, $50, s10-and finally
he put on tag to the effect that the
car was to be given away.
Even then there were no takers.
so one evening, desperate, the deal
er left the 1895 car in a vacant lot be-
side his shop, hoping that some one
would steal it in the night. But when
he came down to work the next morn
ing, not only was the old car still
there, but another one of similar pat
tern had been placed beside It,"
