Sovcral have asked mo personally
nd others by letter how I stand on
the following questions and havo re
quested mo to publish a statement of
my views. I assume that tho pub
lic at this time has a right to know.
I favor the election of U. S. Sena
tors by direct vote of the people.
Thero seems to be a question or
misunderstanding as to how I
ctand on tho abovo question, some of
my friends throughout tho country
being under tho impression that 1
Toted against tho proposed resolu
tion at tho last session of the legisla
ture. Tho fact Is that It did not
come to a voto at all but was in a
Tory unfair and underhanded way
ruled out until too lato to present to
Congress before the adjournment of
that body last winter. I did, how
ever, have the pleasure of signing a
potltlon to congress with, I think,
about eighty-five others who would
have voted for it setting forth our
position on tho abovo question.
I am a farmer and as such am In
terested In all that tho farmer and
the farmers' organization, the
Grange, are interes:ed in and if
elected will favor any and all legisla
tion In their behalf.
Any legislation in favor of the
wage-earner upon whom tho farmer
is to a great extent dependent, will
also receive my support.
I am In favor of free bridges on
tho .Delaware and will uso all honor
ablo means to obtain them.
I am in favor of tho people having
a voice in the making of our laws
and am, therefore in favor of local
option and all other measures which
give tho voters a chance to say how
and by what laws wo shall bo gov
erned: and shall favor such legisla
tion as will offer tho freest and full
est expression of citizens on ques
tions concerning tho government of
tho State.

BOY SCOUTS
EDITED BY
ONE OF THEM
United States 'Senator Carroll S.
Pago believes that the Boy Scout
movement Is leading in a line of edu
cational work and character-building
that eventually -will be approved
by Congress through legislation. Be
fore becoming Interested in tho Boy
Scout Movement ho made a study of
tho methods of educating boys and
girls in different countries and now
has introduced a bill In Congress to
provide for tho co-oporatlon of tho
Federal government with tho states
in encouraging instruction in agri
culture, trades, industries and homo
economics in secondary schools,
eta to normal schools, colleges and
universities. Such a bill would call
for an appropriation of millions of
dollars. Tho leaders of tho Boy
Scouts of America and Senator Pago
will doubtless co-operato In working
for this bill becaueo they fool that
the Boy Scout principles are along
the lines of tho measure.
Speaking of his measure and the
Boy Scout principles Senator Page
says: "I am especially Intorested In
the better education of the boys and
girls of our land and my bill is In
such entire harmony with the work
that you are trying to do, that I havo
thought it host to send it to you. My
tbeory is that after a boy has come
to the age when he must 'become In
part n bread-winner for the family,
that he ought to bo examined care
fully by expert methods and tho line
of -work ascertained for which each
particular lioy Is adapted.
"I have no doubt that a boy scout
is a better equipped man by far
wlien ho reaches tho ago of 18 or 21
than a boy who has not had the
benelit of Bcoutcraft instruction.
"My idea Is that the general gov
ernment Hhould blazo the trail for
the states In such a way as to lead up
to a fairly decent education in ag
riculture for tho boy who decides to
be a farmer, and In trades and in in
dustries for tho boys who design to
bo merchants or mechanics, and it
should fit the girl with a practical
education on homo economics so that
sho becomes a bettor wife a ibotter
mother and a bettor housokeopor.
"How much of tho hoy scout lino
of education could be introduced Into
tho educational work -which my bill
provides for, may bo a matter of
doubt, but that thoy aro In harmony
and work along kindred linos to
eothor, cannot. It scorns to me, bo
quoatlonod, and' It occurs to mo that
scoutcraft work could ho very mater
ially benefitted by tho eplondld
oqulpment -which scoutcraft would
give."

'Soon several guards made their
appoaranco from across tho bridge
In all probability thoy had been af
ter rations. It now becamo evident
that the bridge was properly guard
ed. Our plans wore soon niado.
Carefully wo traveled up tho stream
out of sight of tho bridge some thrco
mlloa. mill In ilin nnrlv nvnnln In
spected tho possibility of procuring
some loose logs along tho bank to
build rafts. Wo soon had our logs
In tho water, and bound them to
gether with long vines from tho tall
pines, and with poles and paddles
pushed out Into tho stream. Wo
were making good headway towards
the opposite bank, when wo struck
a boulder, and our frail craft parted
Into rolling pieces. The water was
not deep as yet, and wo reluctantly
returned to shore, while tho two,
who were tho only swimmers in our
party, explored the depth further
out, which became quite deep all of
a sudden, necessitating tho proposi
tion that tho two who could swim
must carry tho other four across on
their backs. Then tho question
arose would they bo capable of per
forming this gigantic task consider
ing our emaciated an dweak physic.
The possibility of sinking with our
load, that under ordinary strength
would bo doubtful, changed our plan
to a bold and during ruse return
ing, just at twilight and boforo It
becamo too light, to our former .pos
ition near tho approach to tho bridge.
Again tho sharp lightning lit up
the shadows of tho woods, but no
one in sight, it was a desperate
thought to be separated from them
but what could wo do, so lonely
without their counsel. Tho serious
ness of losing them became a strain
separation by death from somo
loved one could not have preyed
upon our minds more than this great
lonesomeness. It becamo almost un
bearable. A wild shriek of the wind howled
through the deep thicket. It was
getting cold and wo had nothing to
shelter our naked bodies.
Wo move on, Hearing a clearing,
as the lightning discloses a huge tall
plantation house standing lonely
and ghostly in that Held. Surely no
friendly nigger lived there. There
were no huts surrounding It. If any
one, It must bo white folks. But we
must know.
Wo were soon near the window.
A fire In the fire place, a drygoods
box, three sawed off logs 'for seats.
One chair, a man, white or black,
sitting in it, a bedstead In a corner,
heads resting on the bolster.
Wo knock on tne ooor. Tho man
started ho was white. Ho looks at
the window, looks towards the door,
then the bed. Ho hesitates. We as
sure him "Fear not, we are poor
soldiers in distress. Let us into tho
fire aud help us to food or we will
perish. Oh, heavens, man, open it!"
"Como In what are you? Where
are your clothes? Merciful heavens,
men, if you are escaped prisoners of
war, go away from hero quick. Go,
I say! See that bed. My wife, two
children, sick, hungry. I stolo away
from the ranks to be with them. If
the patrol or riders pass and see your
shadows through that window, God
help me and my family. Go, I say."
Too late. Horses' hoofs, sabers
rattling against the horses' trap
pings, hoofB sounding nearer.
"Oh, my men, why do you stand?
Follow me quick up the stairs, then
another into tho garret two Eng
lish stylo shutters across tho stays
next to the roof get on that barrel,
pull yourselves up onto tho rafters,
then to the stays. Hurry, men,
hurry, d n you, hurry!"
Out on tho roof ho goes. Wo fol
low. Tho saber knock sounded on
tho door beneath. They aro search
ing the house, up tho first flight of
stairs, poking behind old boxes and
barrels In every corner. Again thoy
ascend into tho garret, tho first with
a torch, tho second leading by the
arm the mother of those children,
tho wife of that desorter.
Our hungry action brought this
poor, forlorn family into Jeopady
and wo powerless to help them out.
O, for a weapon of some kind! Wo
wou d make the lorlorn hope; wo
would spring down and fight them
to death.
Wait! Thoy are searching ovory
cornnr. Will they discover the wood
en shutters way above? That poor
torch Is uncertain Tor them. It will
not cast the light far. The slightest
wind would blow it out. Oh. that
a breath from heaven might go
through this hole in the roof and
destroy that flame!
Listen. Sho Is talking as thoy
lead her along. I tell you truly
thero is no one here. They havo
gone. They went through the back
door, out into the timber."
"Woman, the house was sur
rounded. Thoy could not get out."
"For the lovo of my children, bo
Jlcvo mo. Thero Is no one here now.
Thoy came just boforo you. Thoy
asked for food. I told them I had
but a quart of corn meal I needed
Tor my children until ray old father
S?v.rao' v 110 W0UI1 be hero to-day.
They heard you coming and left
through tho back door. Believe mo,
m"- Thero wero threo of them."
,.,,N . my husband belongs to tho
29 th North Carolina. (My grand
father Is caring for mo. Wo camo
to this deserted house. Thoro is no
re t0.Jlay' h- wo are bo poor."
All this was said In tho tlmo they
wore leaving tho garret and going
down the flight, of etalrs. Tho torch
was continuously getting dimmer.
All through their search in tho gar
ret and when through on tho floor
it waa too dull to cast oven a flicker
abovo.
God. In his morcy, certainly an
swered our prayer,
A moonnlight night on a sandy
Toad hedged with the growing plno.
Wo wero aacondlng a hill and be
- 4, -
f
.f-
tween tho moon ovor tho crost and
ourselves n figure crossed tho road.
Wo crouched low, discovering anoth
er, nntl then came ono wo know
from tho manner ho hnd tho blanket
tied around tho neck nt one end, and
as ho walked would flaunt In his
wake. This was surely Capt. Meany.
Wo gave three low whistles a sig
nal wo had maintained on our trip
when separated for any cause.
Never wero comrades moro affec
tionate In their greetings. Tho un
bidden tear of Joy was irrepressible.
In our long sympathetic enduranco
of prison life we became as com
rades In distress, dependent upon
each other, nnd moro especially at
this time, that required tact, cau
tion, woodcraft and courage In the
many perplexing, difficult and dan
gerous situations wo encountered. A
loss of each other's counsel was llko
taking away a part of tho compass of
tho mariner In a fog.
Therefore, yon can Imagine our
extromo Joy in becoming again re
united. Our pleasure was so great
wo should havo been surprised by
this district patrol had It not been
for the hoot of an owl Immediately
over our heads, startling as It did,
for tho wholo district It seemed wero
hunting fo escaped Yankees.
Tho first question of concern,
'"Havo you anything to eat?" was re
sponded to by our lost comrades, 'by
a great chunk of corn bread, so will
ingly divided. They wore fortunate
in obtaining this from a black mam
my tho next morning after our be
coming separated.
And at last wo havo reached tho
Catawba River, a wldo stream but
not swift at this point. How deep
was an uncertainty. From our hid
ing place high up on tho slopo, lead
ing down to tho bridge, wo observed
a hut close to tho approach. It was
here we thought tho guard for tho
bridge was stationed. Our object
now was to asoertaln how many
there wero of them. All that after
noon we watched the bridge until our
observation was attracted by a per
son leading a donkey hitched to a
cart. (To bo Continued.)

ofllcc. Tho most remarkable town In
America, according to Dr. C. G. Per
cival, editor of Health Magazine, of
Now York, who has made 45,000
miles In the Abbott-Detroit "Bull
Dog," is to be found among tho hills
of Southern Ohio. The town is
Ironsport with 700 inhabitants, ten
miles east of Zanesville. Their post
office was closed October 31, because
Joseph iBarnoy, tho postmaster, said
he bad not sold a single stamp In
Ave weeks nor had he received any
incoming or outgoing mails. Tho
inhabitants say that they havo no
friends to writo to, are all too busy
anyhow. Thero has not beon an

Tho mines aro running full timo and
every miner owns his own homo.
Some tlmo ago tho pollco depart
ment disbanded, the chief declaring
thero had been no arrests made
within six months, and that It was
a wasto of public money to keep
salaried policemen.
The village records show ono fire
in two years with tho damage of
?200. A recent census shows the
population Is composed of C37 Irish
men, 11 Welshmen and 53 Germans.
Thero are only 11 men in Ironsport
who had "no church," and a Zanos
vlllo priest now claims he has suc
ceeded in converting theso eleven.
The school teachers, four in num
ber, declaro that Ironsport chlldron
are unusually bright, owing to tho
moral Influence of tho town. There
has not been a person seen on tho
streets so late as midnight for three
years, when a circus struck town.

PLAN CONSERVATION OF FOOT
STEPS FOR AMERICANS.
Figures Show Country Wastes 3."5,
000,000 .Miles Annually.
New York, April 4. What Is
undoubtedly tho oddest and at the
same tlmo one of tho most import
ant Conservation movements yet de
veloped In this country, Is now tak
ing form hero In an Investigation
looking to the conservation of foot
steps. Unimportant as such a pro
ject may seem at first glance, it as
sumes extremely significant propor
tions when It Is realized that tho
footsteps wasted hero every day are
equal to 2,000,000 miles of travel
for ono person, or 730,000,000 miles
every year. In obtaining theso fig
ures It Is estimated that every In
dividual in the city takes at least
1,000 useless steps of two feet In
length each day, or 2,000 feet of
wasted travel, that Ib more than ono
third of a mile. Even If the averago
rate of walking bo placed as high as
four miles nn hour, this means that
New Yorkers throw away each day
500,000 hours in useless travel, or
182,000,000 hours each year. Re
duced to working days of eight
hours each this means that in this
city alono the equivalent of 62,500
aro thrown away every day, or 22,
750,000 working days annually.
Figuring on a vnluo of two dollars
for each working day, tho figures
show that New Yorkers alono aro
losing somothlng like $45,000,000
a year ifor lack of sclenltflc conserva
tion of footsteps. For tho wholo
country the figures become so
enormous as to bo almost Incompre
hensible, showing a dally 'loss of
3C4.000.000 days, worth $728,000,
000. Tho amount of travel wasted
throughout tho whole country an
nually Is 35,000,000 miles or well
over one-third tho distance from the
earth to tho sun, and involving tho
loss of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars' worth of shoo leather. Of
course, It Is not expected by tho
originators of tho footsteps conser
vation Idea that all this can bo
saved, but It Is belloved that as a re
sult of tho realization of the enorm
ous loss involved In useless foot
steps, a certain part may bo con
served with a resultant profit both
in tlmo and dollars.
Not slnco Ward McAllister, tho
Inventor of the "400," Issued eight
years ago his book containing tho
names of tho persons, who accord
ing to his standard, constituted what
ho choso to call " tho ultra fashlon
nblo peerage," has Now York society
been so rudely surprised as It Is
nnw. Thn Rilrnrlsn la flnn in i
publication by a descondant of the
ursi royai uovernor or Now York
of a list of now names, numbering
4C9 In all, which aro supposed to
Include every ono socially worth
while throughout the wholo coun
try. Slnco McAllIster'B publication
no ono haB had tho tomorlty to un
dertake n similar compilation, and
tho now list has created a furore
In Bocloty here than any occurrence
that has shaken tho social wall In
many years. Wealth and good man
ners aro tho essentials considered
In tho selection of the mombora
which shall constitute the most ex
clusive circle of American society.
Llnoago, of course, is not lost eight
of, but wealth seems to overshadow
all other requirements for admission
to tho charmed circle At tho samo
tlmo wealth alono does not Boom to
fee sufficient, since, according to tho
author, thoro aro coioa of million
aires' families sequestered In the
city who aro living In social obscur
ity, any aspirants to social honors
possess all tho requirements with
tho oxcoptlon of manner. Thoso
who lack this ono essontlal havo
been placed In a Becrot waiting list,
out of which thoy may step into tho
full glory of tho now "peorago,"
prvldod thpy undergo a tedious
apprenticeship.
Tho inanncr In which humanitar
ian laws mav necnslnnnllv n,i,
sldorablo cxpenso to tho city un-
uiuuuieu i vj incir iramers, was Il
lustrated hero this week In a novol

mouso In question had been cap
tured in a trap by a resident of
Brooklyn, who had heard vaguoly
that It was unlawful to put such ro
dents to death In certain ways.
Lacking exact knnwMi.n nn

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals bo
notified that he had a live mouso In

It Ib against tho law to put rats or
mice to death by feeding them to
dogs, etc., and I am a law-abiding
citizen. I don't want to commit an
unlawful act by drowning the said
mouso." Tho letter was turned over
to tho society ahd an agent assigned
to tako caro of tho mouso. Beforo
it could bo removed It was necessary
to sign a document authorizing him
to put tho mouse to death, after
which it was transported to the gas
