1 am more than sorry that my
beloved pastor, N. A. White, in
sick. 1 hope he is hotter now and
will soon be on bis work again. 1
got a card Saturday from Brother
White, tolling of his sickness and
asking me to (ill lii.s appointment
at St. Paul, which 1 did with some
embarrassment. But (ho people
of St. Paul are not only clever,
but they have line sense, and know
how to sympathize with a preach
er. There was a large crowd, and
they listened attentively, and after
services, lingered quite awhile
in and around the house. Better
behaviour I never saw in my life.
1 want to say to the editor, and
to the readers of the Nought, that
the devil never troubles his own.
But when he sees a man whose
h art is fixed to cU> right, he turns
all the hounds of hull loose on the
trail of that man and hisses them
every moment. And as I am hu
man I can feel as other men, the
embarrassment that comes a« the

Seyeral of my old friends back
there in Georgia asked me to write
them about my new home in this
strange country. Yon will do mo

The climate is, of course, very
different from that in old Lump
kin. While you arc all sweating
under au August sun, we arc corns
fortablc in the warmest part of (ho
day, and before sunrise and after
sundown our coats arc very ac
ceptable. The weather is just
about as cool as it is iu Lumpkin
at chestnut time, and 1 feel a little
cooler when 1 look out in the dis
taiiec and see a snow capped
mountain glittering in the sun
light. 1 am told that the rainy
season comes on later and that it
is very disagreeable to out door
laborers.

Farming is not carried on very
to show the satanic disposition in extensively in this section, ul-
meu, when a man sets a new de-
turn, 'nation to be a better man
and to do more good, then the
devil gets up a new supply of lies
on lam to kill his inlkienee.
Say, you know my religion is
always to forgive men their tres
passes and pray for them that
have cast out my name as evil,
but 1 believe in doing good at all
times. And if men that are evil
spoken of and have been lied on,
it would be doing good to put the
liar before the court for slander
and make an example of him for
others. 1 give below a bit of ad
vice :
If a man is actually guilty of
a crime, don't talk about bis
meanness, but put him in the
hands of the law. And if he is a
preacher and is guilty, treat him
as other violators of law. For a
preacher that will violate the law
is no better than any other man.
But when you find a preacher or
any other man that reads his
Bible and says his prayers and
tries to live right, at home and
abroad, and that with patience in-
dures all the slang of the world
and the devil and is still good to
every body and shows no disposi
tion to retaliate, then some friend
of his ought to make tin example
of the liar.
But as I am old and nearly* at
though it produces very well.
Most any kind of vegetables grows
here except, sweet potatoes and
melons, but it is most too cool for
corn and cotton to do well. Irish
potatoes grow a great deal better
here than in Georgia. Fruits of
various kinds flourish here. This
year’s crop is very abundant. The
land is very hard to clear—it is
completely covered with stumps,
which have to he blown out with
dynamite before it is fit for culti
vation.
This is a spendid cattle country.
They can live in the woods all the
your round, but of course, they do
much better when* protected from
the rainy season.
Mining is not neglected and
there are good reasons to believe
that we have vast stores of miners
til wealth untouched by the hand
of man.
Wages arc good. A man gets
from $2.00 to $8.00 per day in the
logging camps. All other occupa
tions pay well. Board cost from
$15,00 to $18.00 per month. Cloth
ing and such liko are very high.
The climate is healthful and
there is plenty of good freestone
water.
There arc some churches here,
and most of them are Catholic
churches. The school system
seem to be very good. The

My grouted objection n> this
country is iho people. All indnms
are represented here. I believe
the Swedes and Fins are i,n the
majority, but the pig tail China
man is not lacking. The Chinese
j aro the most peculiar of all the
races. You know the Chinese are
; a very superstitious people. J
, have heard that in Chiniu they
build stone walls facing the east
! wind, thinking that witches would
! lie blown against the wall and kill-
1 ed. But they make war on the
: witches in a little dijlcrojit unmiusr
here. At night they put out all
the lights in the room and rush
about in the darkness, with open
knives in hand, lighting manfully
at the witches which they suppose
to be in the air about them. Of
course they frequently strike each
other with their open knives. So
every Chinaman is covered with
scars that were meant for witches.
This is the worst place I have
oyer seer, for drinking and light
ing. Saloons aro as thick here as
stores are in Lumpkin county.
You seldom oyer hear of a fighter
being cut or shot. They take it
out in the old fashion way, “list
and skull” tight.
There aro many other interest
ing tilings about this place but 1
will stop at this point, hoping
that this sketch may give you
some idea of the country and the
people on the coast of the great
Pacific. Yours truly,

In his address before the nation
al good roads convention President
Roosevelt made some good points.
Among other things he haid:
“It is the habit of road building
that gives to a people permanent
greatness.
“The development of the iron
road has been all that one could
wish, but it is mere presumption
to consider good railways as sub
stitutes for good highways.
“We want to see cities built up,
but not at the expense of the coun
try districts.
“If the winter means to the ay
era go fanner a long line of liquid
morasses through he must pain
fully force his team if bent on bus
iness and through which ho must
wade or swim if bent on pleasure,
if an ordinary rain storm means
that the farmer’s boy and girl can
not use their bicycles, you have
got to expect that those who live
in the rural districts will not find
farm life attractive.
We should all encourage any
check to the unhealthy llow from
the country to the city.”
