Wishes to Better Acquaint "Cousin
LcKislature' with Oconee's Men.

Westminster, April 9.-My Dear
Cousin Legislature: 1t is pleasure
to me to receive the good letters you
write me, and the advice you give
me is SO good, and it is so thought
ful Of you. and l know by the way
you write me that you must like me
more and more. How do appreci-
ate your love for ME, and you may
rest assured that your affection for
me will ever be remembered by me-
| The reason I have not answered your
letter before this is because | knew
| that you must be worried and work
ed almost to death cleaning up your
house and arranging your furniture
after entertaining so many guests
that attended your house party this
past winter. Why don't you stop CIV
ing these annual house parties? You
must certainly begin to realize that
practice. Besides. even if | had no
other reason for wanting you to stop
the practice, you know as we'll as |
that you are not as young us you
used to be. as well as myself It is
hard on you-and how very. very
expensive ii is. SO won't you prom
ise mo that you will stop it? love
you TOO much to see YOU give your
| time and strength for so unprutita-
bic frOlic as it always turns cat to
and expenses. your health muu be
considered. You know | was ak
ing just the other day with oUr ioc-
tor. and he tolls me that your heart
is in 4 dangerous condition. and hat
any very sudden excitement might
cause you to have heart failure. I'm
not telling YOU this TO scare you into
stopping these frOlicS. but am tell
ing you for your good. as you know
We always tell each other whatever
we think might help lis along in any
way.
You asked me in your last letter
: about the three guests that attended
your party from this county (Oco-
nee). They are all right men in their
way. but
Oh. you said. ! remember. that you
didn't meet or see much of them.
One of them was named w. Preston
Mason, one was named f. Prest on
Bruce, and the other was named w.
Longfellow Dalton. U think Long

you may choose to call it. is what
society in Oconee would have us call
them. and it is all right. as it ell
ables one to distinguish one from
the other. Sorry you didn't get to
meet and talk with them. Mr.. Dal-
ton lives at Seneca. and he got nm
and spoke out in the meeting and
asked all the other guests at your
party to help him make the Southern
Railway Company build an under
pass under the railroad in the town
or Seneca, and to my personal knowl-
edge the railroad has been built and
trains have been passing through
the town of Seneca for period Of at
least two years. | know whereof
speak, for have ridden through
Seneca on the trains, and TO taste a
pudding is the proof OF it, Mr.. Dal-

for Dalton! His address will be Hon

to be one OF your guests from this
county. but If he ever got there
