IN DAYS BEFORE THE WAR
Writer Describes the Wonderful Life South Which Was
Interrupted and Broken By War Which Robbed
the Whole South of It's Wealth

delicate hands are blistered or standing
before cumbersome looms. learning the
intricate process of clothmaking The
great armies for the most part depended
upon the delicate hands for clothing
Neither We're the little girls or young
ladies' at school idle. When seen upon
the play grounds or In recreation rooms
they were dexterousY plying the knitting
needles, each priding herself upon the
number of pairs of socks To be sent to
that much beloved and honored army OF
the oonfederacy. With marvellous skill
becoming attire, a variety Of hats. shoes,
and all those little articles OF personal
adornment so dear to feminine hearts
we're oontriyed out of nothing" with the
utmost ingenuity.
Work in Hospitals
The kindly presence of southern ladies'
in hospitals will ever be held in sacred
memory by remaining veterans. Her be-
nign nature ever ready TO soothe and al
loviate the sufferings OF friend or foe,
her own needs stinted TO provide deli
caeies for the sick and wounded, read
ing and writing letters, giving cheerful
and comforting words to the desponding
OF sending dying messages TO dear dis
tant mothers and wives. Such was the
daily occupation of these noble southern
women. During these troublesome limes
lcye and courtship was not forgot, and
a talisman given al parting, a ring, a
lock Of hair. or the picture of some
sweet girlish face did more to strengthen
and revive the weary soldier and lam
gushing prisoner than anything else
could have done, and many little love
tokens, such as gutta pereha rings. neat
ly embellished with silver hearts, found
their way out of gloomy prisons to fair
hands, plighting the troths of many
lovely southern girl to her ardent and
patriotic lover.
The larders of southern households
were now we'll nigh exhausted, and it
was pathetic to see how the faithful old
mammies oontrived TO replenish these ne
cessities. Substituting parehed rye and
dried sweet potatoes for coffee and dig
ging up dirt of the old smoke house,
which had received the drippings of that
abundant store of hams and middlings
for years, and by a mysterious process
converting it into prime quality of
salt. and many times her white folks"
table was spread with unusual delcacies,
the result of "mammies' foraging visits
to the camps of her northern friends.
The southern armies were. now reduced
to abject starvation anG want, and cut
off from all aid and sustenance the
confederaey, like wearied gladiator,
whose spirit was invincible, reeled under
the exhaustion and finally succumbed to
an enemy inexhaustible in strength and
reinforced by The world. was no testimony
against the valor or the skill with which
her struggle was directed
The sons and daughters of the south
have exhibited heroism so sublime as
to render her illustrious In all time to
come and the achievements of southern
genius and valor is as radiant as ever
shone upon the blazing crest OF war

ADDITIONAL LARGE
CONTRACTS PLACED
American Steel and Wire Co.
Books Orders Totalling
$4,000 Tons

New York. August so.--Additional
large contracts were placed last week
for wire products. shaftngs and mis-
cellaneous steel products used by man
ufaeturers for shipment over the next
half year.
The American Steel and Wira COM
pany booked such contracts totaling
$4,000 tons. The Standard OH COM
pany in additionto the $4,000 tons steel
plates bought'for pipe conversion, net
ted a week ago. placed orders with
domestic mills for 100000 boxes of tin
plate. having previously purchased So
900 boxes from Welsh mills.
Taking the month as a whole the
volume of business was the most sat
isfactory in three months. The orders
booked by the steel corporations sub
salaries totalled close TO 10000 tons,
while shipments are estimated between
95o,o00 and 100000 tons. indicating a
decrease of 100000 to 100000 tons in
the untitled tonnage during the month.
The output Of finished steel by the
corporation is understood to have been
a little over 100000 tons.
The single disappointing feature was
the light buying of equipment by the
railroads. Rail contracts last week to-
tailed $4,000 tons including 20,d00 tons
for domestic shipment and 5000 tons
for export TO Peru and Japan.
Car and locomotive orders were in
significant. The fabricating shops Sc
cured orders for building calling for
about 22,000 tons steel shapes of which
1880 tons came from the railroads.
Sales of pig iron were heavy. totalling
2OOOoO tons including sc, QUO tons
foundry grades for the United states
Cast iron Pipe and Foundry company,
$4,000 tons basic for the Lukens Steel
company, 10000 tons for the Jones K
Laughlin Steel Co. and $4,000 tons for
the Republic Iron and Steel company.

TWO HAYNES
CARS HERE

The Haynes Auto company, which ia
operated by Walter Robertson and
Ihomas p. Morris, Jr., received yester-
day two Haynes 1918 cars for preliminary
service here. The cars have never been
shown here before and consequently at
tracted quite a little attention. They are
rather nifty machines and while the local
forces are making no attempt to push
them, as the 1914 cars are expected at
once. they are immensely pleased with
the two machines. One Of them was solo
yesterday en- route down Twentieth
street, and the instantaneous hit made
as evidenced by that was gratifying to
Mr.. Norris and Mr.. Robertson. The
Haynes went over the new Altomont
driveway on high until the second turn
was reached, feat, it is said, hardly
possible with over a half dozen ma
chimes
The 1914 cars, Mr.. Morris says will be
here soon, and they will be real eye
openers.
