IMPRESSIONS OF THE SOUTHLAND

(By Mrs. Cr Sutton.)

Mrs. Charles Sutton, of this city, now sojourning In the South, writes the Palladium an Interesting letter descriptions of conditions and of the country. She writes from Greensboro, N. C, but tells of life in various other places, visited on the way to Greensboro. Her letter follows: In Knoxville one sees the Southern negro in all his laziness on every cor ner. Almost every conveyance was driven by a negro. But I say an "Uncle Tom," a grand old negro I know, although he did not speak a word In my presence. We were seated at breakfast In a restaurant direclty opposite the depot and I could but remark the deliberate slouching movements of the negros outBlde as they turned their horses about to wait for passengers or as they strolled aimlessly up and down the streets. A wholesale grocers wagon stopped before tho cafe and an old but .straight negro came In carrying an order of goods. In spite , of his load he removed his hat at the door and while

the proprietor Inspected his order "Uncle Tom" stood " with hat before him, clasping the brim in either hand, his head bowed respectfully. As the orders were given not a word did he speak, only a bow to acknowledge them. As he went out I found I had

been sitting almost breathlessly watching him and trying to imagine

what his life had been "fo de wah.M One can tell an old slave by the, to

me pathetic air of mute submission

and obedlance to the white people

Hats off to tho "Uncle Tom's" and "Aunt Lizas" whose passing this gen

eration will witness!

Yesterday we drove to the various cemeteries In Greensboro and the most interesting to me was the negro cemetery. On all the older stones I found the same uncertainey of age. The date of death is given there, "aged about eighty years" sometimes older. My sister's cook is Aunt Nancy. She was owned by a family In North Carolina for whose memory she has the profoundest respect. Her "old Massa an Missus" are dead but "man white chlllen" are grown and have families of their own. She doesn't have any idea how old she is. Her stories of slave times are thrilling and her supply of ancient "Mamy" tales are never ending. I hope to get her "Tar Baby" in her own style and wording before I leave , Aunt Nancy was never separated from her mother because her mother had J an ugly scar extending clear around her waist which she had received durIn one ot the frequent whippings and which spoiled her sale, while Aunt Nancy was not for sale, as I can read

ily believe she was Invaluable then as She is now. Her mother was put up

the disgusting "examination" she was always left.

The pine woods has a wonderful fas

cination for one who is not accustomed to it. The trees are without limbs

on the trunks to within ten or fifteen feet of the top and grow to great heighth and close together. The odor

is delightful as one walks along on the carpet of needles which deadens the sound of the foot-fall and the whispering and soft mumuring of the breeze In the tops Is very soothing and

restful. After night the pine woods looks as black as black can be and is an unbroken gloom as no staggling ray of light can be seen.

The roses of North Carolina are

beautiful, growing larger and more

beautiful than any I have ever seen. Think of growing the fine varities we regard at home as hot house roses, in ones yard. The earlier varieties of cherries were ripe, two weeks ago and strawberries are past their prime, selling at ten and fifteen cents. Blackberries

grow wild everywhere in great abun

dance and are fine' ones.

Corresponding to our dandoline the farmers and gardners here have to fight the wild onion. I have seen whole fields covered thickly with

them, they grow everywhere. It is al

most an impossibility to get good milk, cream and butter a,t this time of year

if the cows are allowed to be on pas

ture. In a few weeks the wild onions dies down and from then on until next

spring it will be a bother no more

I never saw so many mules or knew

there were so many. After we left

Kentucky on the way here we saw practically no horses. But mules were to be seen all the way. Not at work, they were hitched up, to be sure and looked like they had been at work, but it is a fact that I saw no person or animal at work on the entire journey here. They all, man and beast, stopped to stare at the train. I saw a woman in a field on a mountain side behind a plow to which there was a "team" or yoke rather of oxen. The field sloped at a dizzy angle and looked as barren as the face of a rock, but she had It half plowed. A long way above her was perched a funny little cabin with peach and apple trees in bloom around it Through the uncleared tangle to the north of the cabin, higher yet up the mountain came a man with a mountain wagon loaded with wood to which a yoke of oxen were hitched. I waited to see the whole outfit come tumbling down into the river, for it seemed to me nothing but a fly could walk there and not fall. But it did not come so I looked closer for a reason. The man had a great tree tied on behind which with the efforts of the well trained

oxen, overcame gravity and they pro-

dow,n the mountain. Still I would

like to knov now tney got there in their own , time right side up, for of course

they like everything else stopped to see us go gliding through the valley below. I wished I might view the scene from his view point, for there the mountains were very high and Che

beautiful French Broad river runs through the valley and the Southern

Railway follows its course for miles.

Two miles east of Ashville, N. C.

is a station called Biltmore, where

there is a model village just outside

the entrance lodge to the great Bilt

more estate. This vast estate Is owned by Mr. George W. Vanderbilt and is the finest country place In

America and there are few in the

world as elegant. He owns 100,000

acres there in the mountains including Mount Pisgah, which is 15,000 feet high. Biltmore House cost three million dollars and was five years In building. The chateau itself cannot

be seen from the train, but we saw the elegant entrance lodge and Ihe stone church of Biltmore. The little town is the home of the people of the estate, the offices of it are there and the church rectory, postofflce and the car house in which Mr. Vanderbilt's private car is kept, make up the town, all of which Mr. Vanderbilt owns.

THE EASY OIL. Scott's Emulsion is "the easy oil" easy to take, easy in action. Its use insures deliverance from the griping and nauseating sensation peculiar to the raw oil. Nobody who has any regard for their stomach thinks of taking cod liver oil in the old way when Scott's Emulsion is to be had. It is equally certain that no one having a regard for their health will accept a cheap emulsion or alcoholic substitute for Scott's Emulsion. Itfulfills every mission of cod liver oil and more.

The Cambridge City Tribune in an

editorial in yesterday's issue said:

"The patrons of the interurban rail

way are up in arms against the new

rate schedule that has been establish

ed within the past ten days, thlle a few of the changes made are just, the majodity are raised far In advance of

the company's privilege under their franchise. The people are demanding

that the county commissioners take

action at once against the company by

the rigid enforcement of many provis

ions as set out in the franchise, especially that provision which provides

that after operatng the road two years

that no single rate shall be less than

5 cents between any points and the general rate must be based and not exceed one and two-thirds cents per mile through Wayne county. The

prese nutnwarranted rate recently es

tablished varies from one and twothirds to three cents per mile. The people recognize the advantage of the

interurban service, but demand that

they be protected in their rights."

Publishers' Press Washington, May 25. William R.

Hearst is reaching out for control of

the machinery of the Democratic party. According to the information that

has come to Democrats he does not expect to gain complete control this

year, but he does expect so to tighten

his grasp as to enable him to take

supreme command in 1908. The drift

of the talk among Democrats in Con

gress is that the party is looking for a leader, but it does not want one of

the Hearst type. It is admitted that

Hearst has the whip-hand now. The

national congressional campaign com

mittee is his, and from all accounts

he is quietly building up organizatons

in many States.. His friends on the

congressional campaign committee re

sent the action of National Chairman

Taggart in appointing a committee

that is to assist the congressional com

mittee. The Hearst people feel that

the national chairman should have kept hands off. It may turn out that

the congressional committee will re

fuse to accept advice from the committee Mr. Taggart has named. Small Hope of Success.

On the whole the outlook for the

Democratic party is not encouraging to the representatives of that party in

Congress. They frankly admit this

Recently there has been a good deal

of talk to the effect that the party

might be able to carry the next House

of Representatives, but in private, the Democrats in Congress say there is

small hope of any such success. They

do not see how the party can hope to

succeed in congressional elections, in

State electiona or in a national elec-

ton until it finds the right leader; and

they have about despared of finding

the kind of leader needed. The party

as represented in Congress is against

Hearst. John Sharp Williams, the

minority leader in the House, if re

ports be trut, has been demanding

roll calls day by day for no other pur

pose than to prove, if it every becomes

necessary, that Hearst seldom perfor-

mes nis auues as a memoer oi me

House.

Making Headway.

And yet Democratic Senators and

Representatives are willing to admit

that Hearst is making headway. His I

strength they say is drawn from two

or three sources. He is the favorite

of the ultraradical Democrats every

where the members of the party who tend toward socialism and various

other isms. Recently an orginization

was established here known as the

'The People's Sovereignty League.

It has behind it plenty of money. Its

hobby is the initiative and referen

dum. Referendum leagues, It is an

nounced, are to be organized throughout the country within the next two

years. Hearst is the favorite of this

organization.

The Hearst bomers declare, too,

that their man will reap the benefit

of the entrance of organized labor in

to politics If an entrance is made, and benefit come to any person. It is the expectation and hope of the Hearstites

that organized labor will give its fav

orite a powerful lift if he does decide

to be a canddate.

That Cuticura Soap is the best baby

soap in the world for cleansing and purifying the skin, and that Cuticura Ointment is of priceless value for soothing and healing itching, tortur

ing, and disuguring eruptions. A single

application oi vuueura uinimcm, pre ceded by a warm bath with Cuticura Soap, gives instant relief, and refreshing sleep for skin-tortured babies, and rest for tired mothers. Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle ; dry without hard rub

MEMORIAL AT CAMBRIDGE

K. of P. Members in Western Wayne

Will hold Fitting Exercises Sunday June 17.

Unless ther is considerable rain before next week, there will be a serious shortage in flowers for Decoration Day. The supply is usually drawn from the schools and from those people who have flowers and wish to aid the cause. A large quantity of flow-

erg is necessary each year. yJ

Cambridge lodge No. 9 will observe Pythian Memorial on Sunday, June 17. They have been fortunate in securing that brilliant orator, Past

Grand Chancellor, Merrill E. Wilson,

to deliver the address. Supreme Chancellor, C. E. Shiveley, hopes to be present and able to take part in

the exercises of his home lodge. An

invitation has been extended to all

lodges and uniform companies from

all the adjourning cities and towns.

The Salvation Wail.

Lieut Col. Margetts is not Powhat

an, but he has a war path just the"

same, and Richmond is in its track for

May 30th. Other warpaths converge

here on the same date, one on the track of the G. R. & I. and one on the

Pennsylvania track. Yet the Salva

tionists do not call it a track meet.

How can we keep track of these

technical terms, anyway? jr-.

If the weather man does not do better soon, a serious state of affairs

will result. The fields are literally

burning up and the turf is beginning

to take on the dead dry look that overtakes it In August. The growing

flowers Is retarded too, and if no rain falls within the next few days at least

prices will be away up in the air for
