Dicau Editob: 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 result of a falsehood told to five devil—always trying to throw a block in the way of a man to check his influence in the time of protracted meetings. The devil knows when to work. He sat liim- years 1 have had to strive and wrestle and tight and pray against the world, the liesli and the devil, and sometimes against part, of the church. J. Nkwt. Austin. Letter T torn Mr. Cain. Ransey BltUSH I’UAllUE, WASHINGTON, August 10, ,1908. Ki>. Nugget: 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 n kindness if you will publish this letter in your paper. 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.

I have seen them six or eight, feet through and 200 feet high. There are hundreds of men in the woods that follow nothing but felling f am glad that I read in the j trees. They have regular logging New Testament that, “They that | camps and carry out many car will live godly in Christ Jesus loads of logs each day. These logs shall suffer persecution, and as the master of the house was called are carried to the Columbia river and floated down in large rafts to Belzibulb.” I know they will call the different manufacturing points. his servants the same. And now, 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 m inns,t -rev: i L-nr, s~ time for hunting and fishing. 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.

Sunday is the usual 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.” Be -ure'.ind attend the Farmer’s Institute to be held here on the 10th of September and hear those able men talk about fanning, CITY DIRECTORY SUl’litUOK OOU11T. 3rd Mondays in April and Octo ber.
