A bill has been presented in tbe
Pennsylvania legislature providing heavy
penalties for a father or mother who de
serts a fain'ly. This state has been en
tirely too lenient with this class of desert
ers and there ought to be no besitaucy on
the part of the legislators to enact tbe
bill Into law. Much of tbe poverty and
distress tbat comes to tbe attention of the
poor authorities and those engaged in
charitable work is the outcome of tbe
practice of desertion. Under existing
laws a wife deserter is practically im
mune if he succeeds in getting into an
other state, and by making ita crime of
a higher grade, tbe authorities will be
able to bring the offenders back on requi
sition papers. It is a practice that shou Id
be most emphatically discouraged by tbe
law and wheu stringent legislation is
passed it should be rigidly enforced.

Mr Dear Class:-! will at least con-"
vince you of tbe fact that I bave not for
gotten yon, even though I am away down
here In Alabama. I bave been here now
about two weeks and bave enjoyed every
minuteof tbe time since I came, as it Is
somewhat like getting out of tbe world
up there with Its snow and cold and liv
ing in a land that Is sunny every day, al
though it is January. Such bas been tbe
case ever since I got here and I can hard
ly conceive what tbe really warm weath
er is like wben it does get warm In tbe
summer.
We are In a little mill town about mid
way between Birmingham and Mobile
and about one hundred miles north of
tbe latter place. Thla section is in the
"black belt," and thla Immediate local
ity is what is known as tbe "flat woods,"
or "piney woods," It is tbe greatest cot
ton producing section in tbe aoutb, al
though it still makes tbe old time cane
'lasses and tbe other end of tbe combina
tion, which to a negro is life itself,
'tsters. The plsce bas about one hundred
and fifty people, more or less. About one
hundred ol these are colored. Almost all
of tbe white population work at the mill,
but there are some plantation owners and
other town people. We'bave six stores, a
little drug store, a cotton gin, and witb
tbe mill make it quite a busy little place.
Tbe colored people bave tbeir own part
of tbe town which Is about a balf mile
from tbe rest, and most of tbem work on
tbe mill. There are only three white
men (all noithern men) on the uiMl. All
the rest are colored. No matter how
small a body of negroea work In any one
place, you will always see tbe customary
while man to boss tbem, for It is such a
well-known fact without him there will
will be no work. Speaking about your
people tbat are perlectly contented, tbe
Alabama negro Is tbe living example of
this person. It does not matter to him
what any conditions are, Just give bim
bis accustomed Masses and 'tatera aud a
place to sleep and yon will find bim well
contented. He is Just as happy with fifty
cents a day as he is witb three dollars and
get along Just as well, seemingly. You
will find about one in fifty that can read
and In every case he ia tbe "bad" nig
ger of tbe bunch.
Tbey still realize tbat tbe white man is
superior to them and are very respectful
to bim at all times. Some of tbe old
slavery time negroes, and there are some
here tbat can remember tbat time, will
always lift tbeir bat to a white man un
less be Is a working man, and then tbey
do not think much of bim. Every Satur
day night tbey bave their "frolics," as
tbey always have done, and you can bear
the same old banjos as I Imagine tbey
sounded before tbe war.

(jiood Well at Tidioute.
There is a lot of interest among local
oil men respecting the fourth sand etilke
on the Clifton lartn along Tidioute creek,
mention of which has been made once or
twice in tbe correspondence of tbe Her
ald. Tbis well, wbicb belongs to George
L)we of Jamestown and Messrs. Carna
ban aud Bucktin of Tidioute, is more
than a week old and is still producing,
according to reports of yesterday, better
than 100 barrels a day. It is amber oil
from tbe fourth sand and the pay is
reached at 430 leet, very shallow for this
territory. It makes a thorough test com
paratively easy and Inexpensive. If tbe
well Is not a freak, and its performance
to date Indicates nothing of that order, it
may mean tbe opening of an important
pool. From the manner of Its produc
tion there Ib reason to believe tbat it is
coming from a large pool of oil, while the
sand possibilities are almost limitless.
Mr. Lowe bas been strangely fortunate
in bis oil ventures of tbe past two or three
years, finding some wells in tbe neigh
borhood of Tionesta tbat are far above tbe
average of production iu that field, Mr,
Carnaban Is a brother of M. S. Carnahao
of Pleasantville, an operator well known
in the local field. Mr. Bucklin ia a lum
berman and financier of the Warren
