I don't reckin any body ever enjoy
ed themselves any better than pa an
ma did tother week when they wuz in
Newberry.
They got here on Saterday even
ing, an as pa steped frum the trane,
West End band struck up Dixie, an
played it awl through the huggin,
kissin, an handshakin. I shore wuz
much obleeged to em fur showin pa
an ma sich grate ,honer. I expect to
treet them boys awl bi myself, when
I git rich-if not sooner.
Sunday we had so much cumpany
that Jeems called^me out to won side
an axed if he hadn't better go out
summers an borry sum cheers. But
I ,told him it wood never do to borry
on Sunday, an fur him to jest bring
in the wash bench, milkin stool an
a'few boxes an set em in the parler,
an I thought we could make out all
rite, and we did.
Won day we awl feasted at Mr.
Cecil Thomases, an Jeems et till he
bursted the top button offen his
britches. Them at bad to wate tawlk
ed about gittin fence rales to prize the
rest up frum the tabel. Atter we had
et till 'we couldn't, we wuz made to
git outside of a big slice of cake an a
sasser of ice creem, fur fear it wood
melt later on!
We went through the same perfor
mance down at Mr. B. P. Murray's
at Mollyhorn, an pa et ice cream fur
ma, till she sed she had- enuff an beg
ged him to stop. Mrs. Murray shore
set a fine t*ble fur us-but I'll bet
her hart akkd before it wuz over
with!
We intended to spend a our or too
with Mrs. John Darby, but she wuz
gone off to a weddin summers. I tuck
dinner with her won Sunday-so did
Jeems, an we shore injoyed it. .
As we went down to Mollyhorn, we
stopped in the ice facktery. an Mr.
Wicker showed us awl over the hull
thing, an explaned the misteries of
ice makin. He made snow fur u4,
too, an treated us mitey'nice. I'll-not
fergit that pleasant trip soon. When
we started, I 'mplaned to him that we1
wuz tryin to show pa an ma awl the
good things in town, an thanked him
tur his curtesy. He ansered: "Well,
Mis Becity Ann, I'mi glad you awl cunm
to see me. You air worth sumthin
to the town-any body is, who takes a
interest in boomin a good thing."
SAs we started out, there wuz a wag
in standin at the dore loded with ice,
an* hitched to the biggest gentleman
cow I ever seen, Mr, Wjvcker laffed
an sed if his carridge wuzen't 'loded
he'd take us to ride. We told him
We'd take the will fur the deed that
pop, and see him later!
We had anuther big feast at W. M.
Thomases on Thursday, where Jeems
tride to brake awl previous rec.ords
fur eatin. He busted too buttonsof
that day, an I told him he'd have to
sew em on his self-that I .wuz plum
tired of his crazy doin's.
We air ,indebted to Mr. Jesse Jones
fur won big treet. He carrid us awl
on top of the mill, where we could
view the hull city at wonce. We had
to go up sum mitey steep narrer
steps an crawl through a leetle scut
tIe hole that opened on top, an I had
no idee we could git ma to make the
venture, but she wuz game an clim up
nimble as eny of us. Mr. Editer, the1
scene frum up there is shore grand
an inspirin, an we. awl appreshated
the kindness of Mr. Jones. As pa
Crawled through that scuttle hole
the wind wuz a blowin his tong beard
ever which away, an he looked fur
awl the world like a jack-in-the-box.
Mrs. Cecil laffed an told him so, an we
had a big laff at his expense.
We intertaned won nite, in honer
to pa an ma, an had sich a crowd
that Jeems axed If we needed the
washbench agin, but I told him I
thought we could make out by doub-1
blin up. Mr. John Franklin brung
his fornigraf an amused,us with sum.
fmne sarmonts, speeches, dialogs an
resertations, an we awl injowed it
fine. I tell you them mersheens git
by me,the way they can talk an go
on fur awl the world like a human.
Jeems sez they make him think of
spooks, ghostes an witches, an that
he woodn't sleep in the house with
won fur a big plantation.
Miss Annie Bouknight has the
beatenest won I ever hearn yit, an
has got the biggest collection of fine
records. Me an Jeems, pa and ma,
an the kids awl went to here hers won
mornin, an like to a killed our fool
selves a laffin.
I beleve pa an ma injoyed goin to
the park better than enything else, an
listen to the music an watchin the
skeeters. Like everbody else, they
wuz peterfide with amazement to see
what a fine place West End wuz, ani
how we awl injoy life-thanks to our
good president and -superintendent.
who air detarmined to make West
End a perfect leetle Eden. I don't be
leve there is anuther sich a mill or
sich intellectual an Intelligent mill
peepil, in the hole South, an I take
specil pride an delite in boomin West
End.
Through the kind invertation of
Mr. Eugene Werts, won of the finest
men that ever had a spell of perli
tickle fever, we had the pleasure of
goin awl over the new court house,
the pride of Newberry.
Mr. Werts showed us how he
keeps books an file papers, an
I tell you it wuz fine, the way he had
things arranged in order. He carried
us awl over the bildin, an we admir
ed it to our harts content. Mr. Gog
gins insisted on assistin Mr. Werts,
an kindly showed us over his depart
ment, which is shore a nterestin
place. There is a place fur every
thing, an everthing in its place, up
there in that court house. Mr. Gog
gin shode us much curtesies-also
the turrible weepons taken frum
prisoners. We never teched em-jest
kinder peeped at em in. a drawer.
Sheriff Buford wuz in there two. I
wuz shore glad to have pa ai, ma meet
that extinguished man. Atter we got
hom I told em a lot of his explites
an doins.
Pa he wuz jest plum carried away
with Newberry an Newberry peepil
an horspitality. Sed he had never i
seen as happy, contented peepil no
where, an had never met with sich
frendly hole soled folks.
I told him an ma if they could jest
meet up with Mr. an Mrs. John Henry
Chappell, they wood never say agin
that old time Southern horspitality
had died out. Jeems sed if it wuzn't
so fur, we'd -go out there sum evenin,
an ma lowed she'd walk it if the rest
wood, but the evenin we set fur the
trip we had company. an got knocked
up. We told em awl about how Mr.
Chappeil cum atter us in his kerridgel
wonce an tuck us a plum huntin an'
to his house, an how he used to slip
big water millions inside our frunt
door when he wuz passin, an so on,
till pa sez: "Well, Becky Ann, don't
tell us any more, fur I'm skeered
we'll sell out an cum down here any
how."
To each and awl who helped to
make pa an ma have sich a good time
while visitin us, we extend thanks.
Yours trewly,
Becky Ann Jones.

Fires Big Guns of Oratory at Attorney
General-Cotton Litigation
Text.
Washington, June 13.-A criticism
of the adininistration's proceeding in
New York against certain cotton- op
erators and Southern spinners, on ac
count of the alleged cotton pool, wa~s
voiced in the house today by Repres-1
entative Lever, of South Carolina. Mr.1
Lever declared the suit was "rush to
the relief of a clique of reckless cot
ton gamblers threatened with a dis
aster into which they put themselves."
"In the~ years to come," said Mr.
Lever, "I suspect this interference of
the attorney general in behalf of
those who had combined to depress
the price of cotton as against, those
who may have combined to raise will
be pointed to as one of the chief glo
ries 'of this administration-this, andr
h.is prosecution of the tobacco grow
ers of Kentucky and Tennessee who
in self defense and when driven to the
last extremity combined to tear the
grip of the tobacco trust from their
throits.
"He had a fertile field to employ
the machinery of the department of
justice in breaking up the beef trust,
butter trust, -sugar trust, steel trust
and other trusts world without end.
Why' not try the temper of his steel
against these thick-hided .' old sin
ners?"
"Let the attorney general feed all
out of the same spoon and not make
the mistake of believing that high
priced cotton is a criminal and low
priced cotton a divinity."
Mr. Lever contetided that (he opera
tons of the New York exchange tare
a constant serious interference with
commerce.. -He declared that a great
change would come over the spirit of
the dreams of members of the New
York cotton exchange "if Henry W.
Taft, its attorney, who is a brother of
President Taft, should announcp one
evening at the close of the market
that he had been called to Washing
ton to consult with Attorney General
Wickersham about the affairs of the
exchange, and that the attorney gen
eral had directed him to return to
New York with a. message. to ex
change members that he had made upj
his mind to stop illegitimate trading
in future contracts.".
"Turn your guns on the big crimi
nals," urged Mr. Lever, "and scourge
the temple of high finance."
HOTEL ROW IN SPARTANBWRG.
Alleged Attempt to rTrow Young Wo
man Fromi Second Story.
Spartanburg, .June 13.-With her
hair hanging down and her person:
bloody from an encounter with two
men -in the hotel, Evelyn Jneaj
young woman of about 20, was res-,
cued from a second story window of
the Oregon hotel this morning, where
she had luckily caught a hold, after
being thrown from the building, as
she claimed, by L. D. Crews, one of
the proprietors of the house. Men
across the street, who saw the wom
an clinging for her life, secured a
ladder and, running 't up, took her
down in safety.
The young woman was a guest at
the hotel. Cases of disorderly con
duct were made out against Harry
Cutter and L. D. Crews, proprietori
if the hotel, and, upon investigation
before Mayor Lee, they were each
fined $50. Evelyn Jones, who claim
ad she was on her .way to Jackson
ville, Fla., and had only stopped over
[n Spartanburg on business, was de
tained at the police station till the
arrival of her train tonight and plac
ad upon it by Chief of Police Hill.
It was alleged in the trial that
Evelyn Jones was conducting herself
improperly at the Oregon and that:
Crews and Cutter were trying to putl
der out.
Ate a Licensed Sausage.
While G. E. Sewright was eating a
wienerwurst, commonly known as a
'hot dog," in a restaurant he bit;
something metallic. It proved to be
dog license No. 4,413. Sewright then
denounced the beef trust, that raised
prices to such a height that a restau
rant keeper can't afford to serve any
thing but dog, and tried to thrash the
waiter who served the wiener and the
cook who prepared It. The police
quelled the riot, whereupon Sewright
went to the city hall and asked the
license clerk whose dog was number
ed 4,413. The clerk looked through
his records, and replied: "Miss Anna
Bell, 300 1-2 South Los Angeles
street; a female Scotch terrier.
Why?"
Sewright said: "I've eaten her. Bet
ter cancel the record."
Miss Bell said she lost her dog thre
weeks ago. The restaurant that
served the wienerwurst with dog li
cense trimmings avers that the food
was bought in the regular way.
Sewright has foresworn wieners,
ind Miss Bell has canceled the re
ward she offered for her dog.-Los

"Sure Cure"
"I would like to guide
suffering women to a sure
cure for ferhale troubles,"
writes Mrs. R. E. Mercer,
of Frozen Camp, W. Va.
"I have found no med
icine equal to Cardui. I
had suffered for about
four years. Would have
headache for a Week at a
time, until I would bes -
nearly crazy. I took Car
dui and now I never have
the headache any .more."
~The Woman's Tonic
The pains from which
many women suffer every
month are unnecessary.
-It's not safe to trust to
strong drugs, 1-ight at the
time of the pains.
Better to take Cardul
for a while, before and
after, to strengthen the
system and cure the cause.
This is the sensible,
the scientific, the right way.
