the plantation over which she presided
as mistress unless it tended to bring
about better treatment of the ne
groes. Be that as 1t may those Oh
the Sheffield plantation were happy and
quite content with their lot, there be-
ing no runaways among them.
Harry Sheffield was the only son and
heir to this estate. He was educated
at New England university, where
his mothers prejudice against the labor
system then in vogue in the south was
stimulated. He was used to defend it
to his fellow students on the ground
that it had been planted in the south
not by the southern people; that the
had inherited it and were not respon-
sible for it. The only thing they could
do in the premises was to make it as
wholesome as possible.
Young Sheffield returned from col,
lege to his plantation home couple of
years before the outbreak Of the war
which was destined to effect SO marked
a change in the labor system of the
southern states. He and Alma Arch}
bald were Of an age to mate. and il
was not long before Harry went to
Colonel Archibald and asked for his
daughters hand. Before the colone,
would consent he told Harry that he
had heard that his views upon the
question that was agitating the coun-
try were singular and he-would like
to know what they were. Harry was
too conscientious to win the girl he
loved by false statement and told
the truth.
II honor you, sir,' said the colonel.
"for your frankness in acknowledging
what will make you unpopular among
the people of the south, but in view Of
the Importance of your opinions I do
not think it best either for you or for
my daughter that you should wed. We
are on the eve of great issue in the
south, and house divided against it.
self will surely fall. With your views
acted upon conscientiously, your place
is or soon will be in the north instead
of the south"
While Harry Sheffield was obliged to
admit the truth of the argument, he
was not willing to subscribe to it, for
true love subscribes tosno argument
that separates lovers. But he did not
consider it honorable for him to take
Alma surreptitiously under the cir.
cumstances. He was much troubled
about the impending crisis and the
part he should take when the storm
broke, fearing greatly that If forced t.
take sides he could not conscientiously
enter upon the defense Of a system
that he condemned. Under the circum
stances he babe adieu to Alma, the Low
ers agreeing to wait for the approach
ing gale to blow itself out, after which
perhaps her father might reconsider
the matter.
One Of the great strains of the wal

it is to place an electric fan near q

CHORAL
CLUB MET TUESDAY

ULUb mEl IUCOUAI
The meeting of the Peninsula Cho-
raj club which was postponed from
Monday and held Tuesday evening at
the usual place, the high school room
of the Seabreeze-Daytona Beach
schools, was a fine enthusiastic assem-
bly, of singers and musicians, more
than 80 being present.
The several choruses and songs
which are to be given at the time of
the concert later in the month, were
practised between 1880 and 9:15, aft
er which a business meeting was held
and the date for the concert of the
society being made Thursday even
ing, April IL. President U. S. Shell
ly of the organization, reported that
the club will not be able to hold it's
concert at the auditorium of the new
school building on Earl street and
that he had therefore made arrange
ments with the official board of the
Daytona Beach Methodist church to
use the main auditorium of the church
building. This proved agreeable to
the club which then adjourned as
there was no further business on
hand.
The organization of this choral
club has been one of the best steps
taken this winter on the peninsula
1t has brought practically all of the
peninsula's singers together in one
force and the weekly meetings of the
club have always been anticipated
with pleasure. Its formation did not
take place until the season was about
half past and for this reason its work
did not get under way as well as it
right have If it had begun at the first
oil the winter. However, the coming
concert is sure to be a success be-
cause of the consistent work which
has been put on the various numbers.
1t is the aim of the club to become
an established part of the peninsula
life and to begin work early next
fall.
