An especially fine meeting of the
Home Missionary society of the Broad
way church was held in the church
parlorS on Friday afternoon. The sis
ter societies of the other churches
were invited to join in, making this
a union meeting, and representatives
from these churches gladly responded
in numbers so that more than one hun
dred were in attendance. Mrs. Ed
ward D. Fuller, the president, presid-
ed, graciously, and after a few words
of welcome called upon Rev. Edward
>. Worcester for devotional exercises,
consisting of Scripture reading and
prayer. Mrs. Fuller spoke of the in
terest Norwich ladies have in work
among the mountain whites, especially
near Saluda, and before introducing
bury. who told of these mountain peO-
pie, asked Mrs. Charles T. Bard to
sing some of the quaint and curious
hymns sung among the southeEa
mOuntaineerS. Mrs. Bard gave two
songs at this time in her beautiful
voice and two others at the close of
the meeting. finely rendered and re-
ceived with much appreciation Mrs
Fuller then introduced Mrs. Ida, Vose
Woodbury. of Boston, field secretary of
the American Missionary association,
who gave an intensely interesting IL
Illustrated talk upon the mountain peo-
pie. She confined herself to the peo-
pie of the Great Smoky mountains, in
which district are the Saluda and
Blowing Rock schools. The pictures
were all taken by herself or teachers
in the schools-several of them having
been taken 10y Miss Della Leavens,
when a teacher at SaIuda, and were all
real pictures of real people as they
are today in this region. Mrs. Wood
bury worked for fifteen years among
the mountain people and knows their
needs and conditions thoroughly and
in her fluent, vivid narrative brought
them plainly before her hearers She
emphasized their superior ancestry and
history over that of the poor whites,
with whom they must not be confused.
The first pictures showed the grand
scenery in the Great Smoky noun
tains. the highest peak of which is
Mt Mitchell $500 feet high. There
are 40 other peaks higher than Mount
Washington. This was the original
Cherokee country and a few Indians
live there still-the most highly adj
vancej Of any in our country. Many
Cherokee names of places remain, too.
Many of the mountains are very beau
tiful, with masses of laurel and rho
dodendron.
Linville gorge and the falls of the
Catawba were typical of the mountain
streams. Saluda mountain is less rug
ged than many and is always covered
with Verdure. The railway to this

Price of County's Mules,

Readers of the proceedings of the
meeting Of the Board of Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues, as published in

of the opinion that some one acting for
the county could buy mules far below
their market value. The article stated
the Commissioners had paid $105O.0O
for twenty mules. The figures should
have read $5O5O0O. Even at this price
the county got it's moneys worth, for
it is said to be one of the finest punches
of mules seen here in long while.

New Hand Out to
Youthful Criminals.

Justice has often been defeated in
the State and Municipal Courts in the
violation of laws by young negro boys
where doubt existed as to the real age
of the culprits. The family and friends
of the boys would appear in the courts
and fix the ages below that for which
they could be prosecuted.
Mayor Clay, however. took an entire
ly new tack on the problem when four
of these youthful offenders appeared
before him Monday morning. Instead
of sentencing them to work the streets
after their conviction, he stated to the
parents of the boys that they could, if
they saw proper, administer a good
fogging in the presence of the chief
of police, and that this could stand in
lieu of the changing sentence. These
conditions were readily accepted by
the parents and the punishment in
hicted.
This is capital solution of trouble

that it will bring about good resul5..
