A PLEA FOR THE NEWSBOY.

My Dear Mr.. Watson while the
millionaire club women of Atlanta
are wailing over the ignorance of the
mountain boys, and our churches and
minister's associations are shedding
bloody tears about the heather be-
yond the sea- and the philanthropic
medicine men point out the dangers
to health and long life that is lurk-
ing among us, and thousands of dol
lars are being given to fight the great
white plague, no one seems to have
stopped to consider a large army of
boys in our midst who might truth
fully be called public servants but
who are today the most imposed on
of any set who are trying to earn
something for themselves. I have
reference to the boys who are car
riers of paper routes right here in the
city of Atlanta.
[ have often wondered if the we'll
fed, comfort loving men and women
who sit at ease in their palace-like
homes or offices and read their pa
pers stop to think of the faithful
boy who delivers it in sunshine, rain
or snow.
And, moreover, will you consider
that this paper route is a serious
business to the boy, for often what
he earns means food and raiment for
a widowed mother and fatherless
children.
To be denied the pleasures of the
morning nap in winter, and facing
the chilling winds of those early
hours, or being drenched to the skin
by dOwnpour in winter, and being
out late, is by no means the most
serious thing the paper boy has to
contend.
Finally, every newspaper and
reader in the city must depend on
these boys, and they should be paid
we'll and not be imposed on.
But let us see. We will take a pa
per, say, that covers Georgia like the
dew. A boy has from one hundred to
two hundred subscribers. A pretty
heavy bundle to carry, is it not? Els
pecially is it heavy on Sundays. Often
the greater part of route is in an
unreliable section of the city, and
the boy after carrying the paper for
a week, cannot collect more than SO
per cent. of his accounts. And what
does he get? He is paid 20 per cent.
of what he collects. He is fined by
the man at the desk for every COM
plant that comes in and every error
that is made, and as result I have
known poor, needy boys working
hundreds of papers for a whole
month-and never get one five cents
for it.
Is it not enough for these poor
boys to have their tender bones bent,
and their manly young forms stopped
and spoiled, and their health threat
ened otherwise, without being treat

SOME PERSONAL MEMORIES OF
BOB TOOMBS.


Dear Mr.. Watson:- have been
reading your articles on Bob Toombs
and Alex Stephens, and was greatly
amused at some of your droll say
ings.
Both Mr.. Toombs and Mr. Steph-
ems often visited my grandfather,
but this was before my day. How
ever, [ have heard my mother speak
OF them. On one occasion Mr..
Toombs came on a visit to my grand
father, riding horseback through the
country to Beall Springs, where my
grandfather lived. When grandfather
met him at the gate, he said, "Gus, I
have slipped away from home for a
while, for can't drink my dram in
peace. Now, don't let anybody know
l am here. If they ask you about
me, tell them I am in Washington,
D. c., or any old place. don't want
to see them"
He went into his room and stayed
till his spree was over, which lasted
two weeks. AS he walked in he
handed my grandfather small bas-
ket containing some old-fashioned
pink roses. When he took hold of
it, it was so heavy my grandfather
said, What is the matter, these are
the heaviest flowers I ever saw" and
raising up the blossoms he discovered
the Colonel's store of gold and silver
money. "Hush,'' said the Colonel,
'put it away till I get ready to CO."
My grandfather locked it up, and
when the Colonel departed for his
home fresh blossoms were placed
over the contents of the basket again.
The Colonel wore a large cream
SLOUGH hat and homemade boots and
black suit The horse he rode was a
large claybank, with black name and
tail, and, as I think, he called him
'MajOr."
I don't remember ever to have
seen Mr.. Toombs, but I remember
Stephens very well, although I was
quite young. | once shook his hand,
while he called me Sissy which I
thought was very ugly name, so [
told him my name, "Beulah." He
repeated it after me, and said, "She
was noble girl" I did not under
stand him then, nor for years, till I
read Mrs. Wilson's sweet, simple
story by that name, then | recalled
his look, which seemed sad while he
spoke those words to me.
am so glad you are writing about
the people we Southern folks love,
and I hope you will never tire of tell
ing us about them. Those stories
from your scrapbook are just too
good. I just want to go over those
old days when the world was hard
on you. 1t gives me more courage
to stand trial.
By the way, man came to see me
to take my Senses" and who do
you suppose he was? None other
than your friend, Mr.. Leveritt, at
Weston, Ca, who is working for
Uncle Sam. We had a long talk
about you. He said he used to be a
mail carrier, and when he had to
handle one of your Jeffs he would
throw them down in the foot of the
buggy, and thought while everybody
