House of Representatives, then as
State Senator, for about ten years
and is looked upon as one of the
conservative, ,level-headed. clean men
in political life. He graduated from

five years ago and has been practic-

SaltekS Items.

Salters Depot, February 24:-
Quite pleasant as well as profit
able evening was spent at the town
hall on Monday, February 16, when
q box supper was given by the
Rural School Improvement associa-
ton. Many were the different
features Of entertainment. Here,
at the fishing pond, might be seen
the busy anglers; there, in her tent,
the Gypsy foretelling for each his
future; while still others were
competing in the different guessing
contests or else cutting cakes for
the prizes. There was great excite
ment when the boxes were auctioned
off by Mr. S T Thompson. The
prices for which these were sold
clearly showed the competency of
the auctioneer. But for our great
est pleasure we feel indebted to the
Kingstree band. Fifteen OF its
worthy members were with US and
their excellent music readily attests
their good training. Each Of these
shall always have our commendation
and gratitude.

ers in the Rome school, spent the

Enclosure to Mr. McCollough's Let
ter 10Th January. l742. i.
To Henry Mccullough, Esq.
The Humble Representation Of the
Inhabitants of the Township Of Will
Hamburg
Sheweth that being informed bis
Majesty ; been graciously pleased
to Constitute and appoint you his
Commissioner, with full power to in.
quire into all abuses with respect to
the grants Of lands and the quit
rents payable thereupon and toward
preventing and determining all dis
putes in relation to the premises.
We beg leave to represent thatby
his Aajesty's 43d Instruction to his
Governor there were eleven Town
ships set apart for the reception OF
such Protestants as might come and
settle in this province.
That in consideration Of the en-
couragement offered US by the Gov
ernor and Council and from the GER
tainty we spprehended, we had un-
der his Majesty's Royal Instructions
to his Governor to be secured in our
properties, and the remainder OF the
Township Lands would remain only
for the uses directed by his Majes-
tvs Instructions which would have
enabled US to have brought over our
Friends and Relatives to settle in our
Neighborhood. We under these en-
couragements transported ourselves
and families to this province, and
settled in Williamsburg Township.
But to our great concern we have
found the lands in this Township
become a common unrestricted range
for all persons whatsoever; the best
lands therein taken up by persons
who have not at this day settled the
same. Nor in ali probability ever in
tended to reside therein. some OF
us have been sued for trespasses on
land pointed out to US by the Depu.
ty Surveyor, and have been cast in
considerable damages and others be-
came tenants rather than remove
their families.
Sometime past we presented our
humble petition to the Governor
and Council, setting forth our said
Grievances, and praying relief, but
we could obtain no answer. We
therefore take leave to trouble you
with a copy of the same, wherein the
hardships we have labored under are
enumerated, which we humbly sub.
NIT to your consideration.
The River, by which we can have
any conveyance of our goods to q
market, is rendered difficult in the
navigation, by reason of great trees
which fall therein, and which indeed
the General Assembly at our humble
application to pass a law for clear
ing the same. Now, the whole bur-
then of that work falls on the Resi-
denters, while those who are possess
ed of large tracts of the most valu-
able land contribute nothing to it.
We have letters from our Friends
in Ireland acquainting US of their
desire of coming here,if we would in
any shape encourage them. which we
have hitherto declined, because of the
lands being run and possessed by
others. We take leave, Sir, to assure
you, that every fact alleged in our
said Petition and in this, our humble
representation, shall be effectually
proved, with the addition of many
more particulars, when you will
please TO require it.
Wepray therefore, you will take
the premises into consideration, and

ISN'T 1T THE TRUTH?

of his, named Cassidy, went to mass and
heard the priest preach on the Judgment

clergyman.

We Are Proud of You, Too

Prisoners in the state penitentiary at Still
water get fifteen to twenty cents a day for
their labor so that they may assist in the
support of relatives or that they may have
nestegg with which to begin life anew when
they are again free.
Fifteen cents day isn't much and the
prisoners soon learn to guard their
money zealously.
You will remember that last Sunday was
''Mother's day
The prisoners at Saltwater attended re-
ligious services and each wore a carnatiou.
No, the state did not furnish or pay for
the flowers.
The prisoners bought and paid for the
flowers themselves, the money coming from
their precious prison earned savings.
Six hundred and fourteen inmates SUBJ
scribed total of $258 .1O-all to be used,
if needed, in the purchase of flowers so that
every prisoner might thus honor Mothers
day.
The only appeal for such action came
merely as suggestion from the prison
bright newspaper, The Mirror.
Think of i'll
Men who have so sinned against society
that they must be segregated behind stone
walls have their hearts so melted by the
magic word of ''mother" that they joyfully
give up their savings that her name may be
honored and her memory hallowed by the
wearing of flower.
eve are proud of this achievement
says The Mirror. eve are proud of the
men," SO are we, Mr.. Mirror, and you,

RIGHT YOU ARE

Speaking of newspapers, The
Critic of Washington, D. c., re-
marks that more newspaper men
should be in prison. Granted; but
not in the same sense meant by The
Critic. The average newspaper man
would be lost on a prison paper for
lack of yellow copy" He would
find ban put upon his wild, weird,
untruthful reports of the most COM
mon happenings of the day, and he
would be broken-hearted on finding
himself cut off from wrecking the
good name of innocent women and
children, common dirty habit with
many newspapers, far beneath the
level of the convict editor. The av-
erage newspaper mall would find it
necessary to rearrange his whole vo-
cabulary to conform with the truth
without telling a lie at the same
time. Thank goodness. they are not
all alike; few, just few, have
some sense of decency and respect
for themselves, and do a world of
good in their communities. 1t must
be admitted that The Critic speaks
the truth but a different meaning
should be implied-the imprison-
ment of vicious characters and home
wreckers. The case of Dorothy Ar
mold is sample. LEND Hand.

A PRAYER

Grant that may continue to be worker,
but help me lest cease to be producer.
Guide me, lest in my eagerness for happi-
ness l seek but riches.
Kindle within me the fire of ambition,
but feed the flame with the fuel of moder-
alton.
Instil me with the music of world-kind
words.
Give me grace to recognize the good sense
in the arguments, actions and works of
others, even though they do not always
agree with me.
Teach me to be brief in speech, and at
all times truthful.
Let me laugh with the world, but never
at it.
Prepare me for the psychological moment,
so that can take advantage of it when it
comes.
Let me know when it is time to quit, so
that may retire before am put out.
When l am angry and disturbed, and
would do that which is rash, whisper to me
'Don't.''
When l am content, give me the good
sense to refrain from pleasures which mar
my manhood.
If there is worth in that which do not
understand, enlighten me.
Show me the channel to success, but
make me steer my own ship.
Give me the wisdom to walk in high
places, lest l wander by the seashore and
the waves wash my footprints.
Prevent me, especially in adversely, from
plying myself.
Train me for winner, if may, but let
me so run my race that even though l miss
the flag, those who Judge me can say:
"You did your best. "-Bindery Talk.

APPRECIATED APPLAUSE
Editors Highly Compliment the Inmates
Upon Their Observance of
Mothers Day.

Numerous complimentary references
have been made in the editorial columns of
the various state papers regarding the in
mates, action in subscribing to fund to
provide flowers for Mother day. In order
that our readers may see what the molders
of public opinion think of it, we reproduce
two of them.
All Honor to These Men
The fact tina, any certain event is note
worthy achievement does not necessarily
mean that it is of national importance.
That is why ''Mother's Day. at the Min
nesota state prison is noteworthy achieve
ment. Two weeks ago the Prison Mirror,
realizing the fact that many inmates would
be unable to buy flowers for Mothers Day,
called for contributions of from ten cents to
one dollar for fund which would be used
in purchasing enoungh flowers SO that every
inmate of both the new and old prisons
would be able to wear carnation for Moth
er's sake. The response was something
remarkable-$258.1 10 contributed in less
than three hours by GA inmates-more than
three times the amount needed for the pur-
pose. The response staggered those who
made the call, but the attendance at the
special services was still greater surprise.
GVCIy IuiHdtc, HAL VI WOHldIl, dttcuQcu
church, and the corridors of Minnesota's
penal institution were silent during church
hours, except for the TRUSTEES who passed to
and fro in silence about their tasks. Min
nesota citizens have every reasan to be proud
of their new state prison from an architect
ural standpoint. They have still more
reason to be proud because of the wonder
full results that are being brought about
Men born in crime and hardened to it,
bowed before the shrine of "Mother Love-
and paid a fitting tribute to the chest
sweetheart on earth And while praises
are being sung, due credit must be given
to the editor of the Mirror, for it was at his
lequest and instigation that the event was so
fttingly celebrated. Mother influence ex-
erts great strength at times. The strongest
men bend before the magnetic power of
Mother Love. And we can't help but
think that last Sunday morning, during the
services at the Minnesota State Prison, it
was hard to believe that the audience was
composed of men and women who stumbled
and fell into the slime of sin, knowing as
they now must, that Mother was watching
all the hile.-Deerwood Times.

Thirty-one Men Transferred Tuesday Increases
Our Population.
On Tuesday May 10, the popula-
ton at the new prison took jump
which pat it ahead of the old institu.
ton in numbers for the first time,
and really marks the beginning of
the end of the old Saltwater prison
as a place of incarceration. 588
men are now on the rolls at the new
prison and 563 at the old.
In the morning Deputy Warden
Sullivan brought over nineteen men
from the tailor's department, which
was followed in the afternoon by
twelve more from the laundry. cap
tanned by officer Nelson. The new
corners, clad in their new summer
uniforms, attracted considerable at
tention as they were being assigned
to their duties, and judging from
the pleased expression on their faces,
were all glad of the change.
The next addition from the old
prison will probably be the hospital
crews and the band members, all of
whom may be transferred during
the coming week.

ed matter issued from any of the states institutions
and that the word INNATE be substituted in lieu
thereof
In making this suggestion, the Mirror believes
it will appeal to the members of the board, mas
much as they have always shown desire to adopt
reforms which tend to eradicate the blemsh of
prison confinement and make the road of the dis
charged prisoner easier to fellow. We believe
it would be move in the right direction and set
an example that would be quickly followed by
other states.
