To The Editor the A~jS.

To The Editor the ADls.
Dear Sir:
In vCur D of yesterdays date, |
read a letter from the pen II Mr.. Edgar
Meyer, in which he claims am stamped
as a LIAR.
While this matter will be left for the
Courts to decide, ] would be glad to have
your readers informed of the circum-
stances leading up to the decision OF the
Court at the time.
During one of the sittings of the
Planters Delegates and the Delegates
of the Labor Union, where privileged
and confidential conversations were car
ried on for the purpose OF solving the
industrial troubles, |, as all other dele
gates discussed persons and matters very
freely, and | referred to Mr. Meyers
conduct in dealing with his Iaborers.
A few days after the meeting was
summoned on the charge OF calling MT.
Meyer a drunkard. | denied the charge
as brought in, and repeated what re-
membered sayir G; but OF course, was
fned-who expected otherwise. The tine
was Four Dollars, but repeat, had to
be fned-that was the existing rule.
Mr.. Meyer refers to the witnesses, u.
B. Fleming and .. H. SchmelgeloW as
having testified against me. hat is the
very best thing Mr.. Meyer could have
done-to name the witnesses all plant
ers, and every one Of them not amicably
disrosed toward me, which fact was
pointed out to the Courts.
With reference to the coming of Judge
Lynch, we beg to point out that this
assertion is the best recommendation to
keep anyone out of a public job, Sc long
as the Stars and Stripes float over these
islands. And the Stars and Stripes
WILL stand for justice here in Santa
Cruz, and will not permit Of Judges in
our Courts being coerced by Planter nor
any others.
With Thanks,

OF THE SEVENTH GENERATION
Great War President Might We'll. u
He Had Wished, Beast Of His
American Ancestors.

SO unique is the individuality of
Abraham Lincoln that one Is naturally
surprised to learn that the name has
ever been borne by anybody else. As
a matter of fact. on the evidence Of a
recently published genealogical chart
of the former presidents family. there
have been four others. The f1fth and
famous Abraham was Of the seventh
generation of Lincolns In the United
States. The chart shows that Sam
uel, son Of Edward Lincoln Of Hing
ham, England, was apprenticed to q
weaver and mariner, and that he came
to America in 1887, living first in Sa-
lem and afterward in bingham, Mass.
Thus by about IT years. II the gene
alogy is correct. Abraham Lincoln
missed being a Mayhower descendant.

MEMORIES OF
lINcoLNS DAY
Told by One Who Was Ac-
ouainted With the Great
Emancipator and His
Opponent, Douglas.

ktS. .tOI1N LIMAN SIAAALS,
NH who is eighty.two years old,
~ knew Lincoln personally
heard Lincoln and Douglas
debate, has a store Of interesting in
cidents connected with her father-in-
law, an ardent Abolitionist, as well as
tales of her father, who served as adj
jutant-generai Of Illinois.
Mrs. Child's maiden name was Mary
Ellen Anderson. She was born and
reared near Springfield. lived in that
locality for eighty years, and now re-
sides in Chicago.
"Yes, 1 remember when Springfield
was nothing but mud-hole, when
the horses were driven to the court
house, unhitched, tied to the back OF
the wagon and fed there. I lived on
a farm not far from town; we knew
the people In town and went in to the
political meetings. In those days
you know, two would talk together
each trying to get voters for his side.
I heard Lincoln and Douglas stump
Folks said that Douglas was the
smartest man but that Lincoln was the
shrewdest. Once / heard Douglas say
to Lincoln: You. sir, used to sell
whiskyrs
"When Lincoln got up, this was his
answer to that: Yes, l did. And
while / officiated in one way. you
Douglas, did in another: you did the
drinking.
'Douglas was drinker. They said
he made the best speeches when he
was under the influence. The day my
father introduced him to little boy
who was for Douglas, though the boys
father was strong on the other side
I know he had been drinking.
"This boys father, Stephen Child
the boy had the same name-was
known all around as an abolitionist.
The boy, only ten years old, for some
reason was not on that side. Once
the father while at work in the field
saw his team being driven by little
Stephen out to the road as fast as
they could 60. He hollered for the
boy to- bring the horses back but ne
uaid no attention. After awhile Mr..
Child saw a gang Of boys drive back
to the house. They had a pole In
their wagon. They took this out and
pretty soon began trying to raise 1t,
for q fag-pole, In front Of the house.
Mr.. Child (by the way. he later be-
came my father-in-law) went over
and offered to help, although it was
a hickory pole. But little Stephen
said, No, this is a Democrat pole
and no Abolitionist shall touch It!
"Little Stephen had two cats that
be called Douglas and hipceln, He

house Once he had lot of them
there and searchers came along, sus-

they were welcome to search. They
looked all around, but not in the right
place. That night he loaded the col
ored people in the bottom of the
wagon, piled on top bags Of hay and
started cut for Salt Greek. On the
trip at the side Of the road he met a
man who asked for a ride. Mr.. Child
raised his whip and told him to get
out Of, the way, that he didn't want
any one to ride and hurt his load.
He got the people safely to Salt Creek,
there in Logan county. then showed

The Bible Is literary. political, his.
torical and educational. Abraham Lin
coin had only three books In his early
manhood: the Bible. Aesop's Fables
and Weems' History Of the United
States. The Bible was the great book
that gave the martyred president his
simple. tender, beautiful literary style
both for speaking and writing. The
fables gave him his story Illustrations
while the history made him familiar
with the great characters and events
Of the nation. Leave the Bible out of
his life and he might have been q
moral wreck at least there would have
been no Abraham Lincoln as the world
sees him today.-Exchange.

The Influences which affect the

is vital that the individual
aae fresh air all of the time, and,
ially, at night. The fact that
Sut Of ten citizens Of Grenada
w has tuberculosis is an indi-
that not enough attention is
to the kind Of air we breathe.
Of the Treatments used for T. b.
rresh All Fresh Air is better
preventive than it is cure. If we
are to breathe fresh air at night, two
things are necessary, namely, open
windows and ample space. Over
crowding Of rooms, which is the
most dangerous form Of overcrowd-
l ing, is more common in the country
than in the cities and towns. This,
my opinion, is why colds and other
