BIT FRANK H. SWEET.
(Copyright 1901, by Authors’ Syndicate.)
Microbe was all the. pame ha had
jinown, and Deacon White—in spite' oi
8 n unsavory reputation for sharp
dealing—sold his Chickens arid " thick
jn the city on commission; For this
reason, Microbe still wore old clothes,
although he was a shrewd, hard-work
ing young man. But Deacon White
had a daughter, Cassia-
One Sunday morning Microbe called
at the White cabin, as usual. The
deacon himself came to the door,, but
looked his visitor over in marked dis
approval.
‘Why, ain’ yo’ hus-le roun' an’ buy
better clo's. Microbe?” he demanded,
gruffly. “Yo’ ain’ fit ten to show yo'.-
pe f on Sunday, 'specially at a chu’ch
osnifer's house." •* " ■- *
"Money too scarce fo' clo’s jes’ now,
deacon,” Microbe responded, cheerily.
“But whar’s Cassia? I.’s come to see
her.”
T spec' yo' fin’ her roun’ -on de back
po'ch, peelin’ taters fo’ supper,” he
answered, discontentedly. ”Yo’ kin
go frou de cabin, or rpun’ de cabin,
jes’ as yo’ lak. But say,” as Microbe
was half way across the floor; “how
’bout dem hun'erd chickens yo’ Tow is
ready to sell? Is dey coop up?”
"No, but 1 kin coop dem to-night.”
"I reckon yo’ better. Hit's time to
sell now; I's be roun’ in de mawnln’
wid my big tvaggin. Mist’ Williams
an’ Mist’ Buckler, day's. got _a-.heap,
an' I’s gwine take all togedder.”
Cassia was bending industriously
over her pan of potatoes wKert Mi
crobe stepped upon tha-porch* .closing
the door carefully behind him. Evi
dently she had heard his voice, for she
looked up roguishly, with an 'odd
sparkle In her eyes. *
"Howdy, Cassia. I’s itome to talk
’bout what I tole yo’ las’ Sunday. Yo’
’member—”
'I ’spect yo’s too young to know
’bout lub, Microbe,” she interrupted,
demurely. “Yo’s nuffln but a boy, lak
daddy say.” . ..
•‘l’s ole as you, Oasslal” ’
“Dat e-in’ 6ount. Boys ain’ grow lak
gals. Dey ain’ so smart.”
"1 reckon yo’s right ’bout de smart
nes,” he agreed; “but not ’bout de lub.
I been lub yo’ mighty long time, Cas
sia. To’ know dat, on’y yo’ ain’ tell.”
“Yaas, boy lub, in ole clo’s," care
lessly. “I ain’ nebber see yo’ ffic up
In all my life. Microbe. Yo’s a. mighty
nice boy, an’ I lak yo’ betey dataway
dan ary udder boy .round’. Bu,t de
man I marry's gwine- hab han’sonle
clo’s so I ain’ feel feel ’shamed whenf
we go to chu’ch an’ udder places.”
“I’s gwine hab plenty nice t’ings,
Cassia,” eagerly. “When we’s married,
I’s gwine be de bes’ man In de cake
walk. Yo’ll see. I been let yo’ dad
dy hab my truck so fur, kase—kase—
yo’ know. So X ain’ git ahead.”
She gave him a -quick look, letting
her gaze drop instantly.
“Den, yo’ ain’ fitter to bte married,”
she flashed. “When fo’ks count to be
maFriesd rd*y ouglu-to-bg-Heee trw-k-n*
git ahead.” . , ,
“I’s gwine do dat right ofT*’ ’Microbe
declared, sturdily. “I ain’ ’low t’ings go
dataway lease I didn’ know, better. No,
sah! I gwine begin -to git ahead wid
de sun to-morrer mawnin’. Anyt’ing
else. Cassia?”
She did not lift her eyes this time,
but her voice was steady. 1 ■
“No gal ain’ gwine marry a man wid
a sickness name,” she declared. “I
been ’quite ’bout yo’ name,” she went
on. "an’ fo’ks Say hit’s nuffin but jes’
a sickness name, all kin’ ob ketchin’
t’ings law measles an’ yaller Jack an’
distemper an’—an’ everyt’ing dat’s
bad. No gai ain’ marry dem t’ings.”
"Well, den, if hit’s dataway, ’taint*
gwine be my name no mo’, honey. My
mammy gib hit kase ob a name she
heah a doctor tell, an’ I ’spects she
done got mistook. I’s gwine ’quire
’bout hit,.an’ if hit’s lak yof say, den
I’s gwine git anudder name dat’U be
mighty fine an’ nice. Anyt’ing else?"
"Yaas; I ain’ gwine marry no man
’< ep’ ruy daddy say so. I’s de. on’y gal
he hab.” She raised her eyes with an
unmistakable .flash of archnessvahd tri
umph. “S’pose yo’ gwine git Deacon
W’ite to say yaas to Microbe—which
ain’ his name—who ain’ got fur ’nough
ahead In fo’ yeahs to buy clo’s fltten
fo’ Sunday.” .'
"Co’se I is,” sturdily. “I been lub yo’
mighty long time. Cassia, an’ mighty
hard; an’ when a man lub dataway, he
gwine and anyt’ing; Ain’ dar mo’ yo’
lak me do?”
"No. dat’s all. Microbe.” she said,
frankly. "Yp’.Jes' git ahead, an'had a

i onjur’- my daddy to say he* atn ; car’
if yo’ marry me, den I say yaase-kase
’fore yo’ git all dat done yo’ gwine he
a mighty push-ahead man,” arid with
a sudden ripple of laughter she caught
up the pan of potatoes and disap
peared within the. cabin.
When Microbe had reached home the
chicken? had gone to roost, but if was
still light enough to distinguish them
mid the marketing coops which were
Piled handy for use. He looked from
one to the ocher doubtfully, for he
must begin at once to “git ahead.” and
at the same time be careful not to an
tagonize the deacon. But when the
deacon's heavy wagon rumbled out to
his cabin the next morning, the chick
ens were all ready, and he helped to
load them as usual.
"I's gwine git all I kin to' dem.” the
deacon called, after the last coop was
loaded and he had climbed to his seat;
“hut yo’ know chickens am mighty
plenty, an’ dat makes de price low.
Vo’ nius’n’ be s’prised if dey ain’ fotch
much.”
Oh. dat’s all right,” easily; "yo' Jes’
Kit all yo’ kin. deacon, an’ den take out
yo' ten per cent."
Yaas, dat’s all I bx. ten per cent,
the deacon smiled.

among the wealthy residents of the
city; and to-day, as he went from
house to house, he was especially jubi
lant, for trade was good. By the mid
dle of the afternoon he had sold the
last chicken and turned his mule's head
toward home, his pockets heavy with
the silver they had brought. And as
he turned away a figure which had
kept within a block or two of him all
through the day, stopping at the same
houses, with the ostensible object of
selling a pair of chickens upon which
an impossible value had been placed,
turned away also, entering a street
j which led toward the business portion
l of the city. Reaching that, the man
hurried along until he came to a book
store. This he entered.
“I Tow to git a book what ’splains
I 'bout names an’ t’ings,” he said to the
clerk. "Reckon yo' hab one?”
'To' s’pose hit got—got Microbe into
hit?" the customer asked anxiously.
“I’m lowin’ to fin’ if hit’s a sickness
name—what brings measles an’ t’ings,
yo' know.”
The clerk stroked his moustache.
“Well—er—l suppose you might call it
a sickness name that way,” he replied,
blandly; “a disease germ, you see.”
He opened the book and turned several
pages. "There it is.”
Microbe bent over the book eagerly,
his eyes brightening.
“Yaas.'dats him, sho’,” he ejaculat
ed. ”M-l-c-r-o-b-e.” His eyes ran
down the page. ”Yo’ reckon dar’c an
udder name mos’ lak hit, but widout
sickness an’ bad meanin’?” he asked,
presently. “Yo’ see, I know a man who
made a mistook In a name, an’ now
he’s a huntin’ fo’ de right one.”
The clerk looked at the book.
“Let’s see." he said; “Micro—micro
—-micro—how would Microscope do?
That’S a scientific name.”
> “No sickness nor not’in’ hidin' behtn'
hit. is dar?”
"No, indeed; It’s just a scientific in
strument.
Microbe showed his teeth.
‘‘Den I reckon hit’s all right, an’
t’ank yo’, sah.”
Date that evening, as Deacon White
was sitting upon his front porch, gloat
ing over the profits of the day, he
heard a quick, firm step, and looked up
to see Microbe—-or Microscope—enter
the yard.
“flood ebenin’, Microbe,” he called,
hospitably: “glad yo’ come. I done git
mighty tired sellin’ all dem chickens;
if ’t wa’n’t for dat I been brung yo’
money. I’s done paid Mist Williams
an’ Mist Buckler.”
"Dat’s all right. How dey sell?”
“Mazin’ good; done sell ebery one.
Here take dis cheer and he’p me count
de money. Dar. Now, see, yo’ gib
me two hun’erd—two hun’erd at seben
cents, make fo’teeri dollars; an’ ten per
cen’ off leabes—leabes—er, jes’ twelve
dolla-rs an- sixty cents. Yaas, dat’s
right. Here’s yo r money.”
“How much did de res’ git?” he
asked.
“Jes’ de same, ob co’se,” Ife snorted;
”yo’ ain’t s’pose I sell one pusson’s
chickens fo’ one price, an’ anudder pus
feon’s fo’ anudder price, is yo’? No,
srih!” emphatically; “I ain’ dat kin’ ob
jnaiC- i
Microbe drummed meditatively upon
his knees wtth his finger.
“I been in city myse’f to-day.” he
‘announced, presently; “yo’ see, I Tow
on gittin’ a book to study, an’ I hab
two mo’ chickens dat’s plenty big to
sell.”
“Yaas, an’ so yo’ done swap de chick
ens fo’ de book. But what yo’ gwine
study, Microbe?”
“Dat ain’ matter jes’ now. De funny
part was dat when I take my chickens
to a house, de fo’ks ’low dey jes’ buy
a dozen pair fo’ 50 cents a pair, an’
de nex’ house dey done buy jes’ de
same, an’ de nex’ an’ de nex’; an’
when bime by I looks up an’ sees yo’
jes’ ahead, dat ’splains hit. I been
tryin’ to tell at jes’ de same houses
yo’ done sell at. But w’hen I t’inks
hit ober, I ’lows I better keep right on
dat way, fo’ yo’ had ’sperienee In sell-
I in’; so I jes’ keeps roun’ arter yo’ till
j you' done sell de las’ chicken. An’
I’s mighty glad dat none ain’ fotch less
den 50 cents a pair, an’ some go high
as 60.”
There was a long silence, then a
husky: “What yo’ gwine do ’bout hit,
Microbe?”
- “Oh. nuffln,” placidly. "I’s gwine be
yo’ son-in-law, an' I ain’ oar’ to hab
disputationin’ in de fambly. Now, don’
I yo' git mad,” as the deacon rose storm-
I iiy to his feet; “I’s jes’ flxin’ t’ings de
bes’ way fo’ yo. S'pose I go fell Mist
Williams an’ Mist Buckler, an' pome o’
dem tudder fo’ks yo’ do tradin’ long
ob? Ain' yo’ see dar gwine be tar an’
fedders an’ a rail, an’ mas’ likely some
body be run out de town, an’ den I
hab to marry Cassia anyway. Jes’ to
i keep her from feelin’ bad. Ain’ yo’ see
dat?”
The deacon sank heavily Into his
seat.
“Yo, been mighty smart,” he sneer
•ed; "now wha.t yo’ gwine make me
do?”
”1 ain’ gwine make yo’ do nuffln,
deacon. I's jes’ ’visin'. If I’s you’, I’d
go an’ fix t'ingh all right wid Mist Wil
liams an’ Mist Buckler—yo’ needn’ tell
everyt’tng, but see dey gets all dere
money; den tell Cassia she bes' marry
dat nice young man Microscope, who's
de git aheadedes' man roun’, an’ who
gwine be de fines’ kin’ ob gen’leman,”
grinning affably; "an’ long ob de res*
I reckon I’d pay him what yo’ owe him
on de chickens, an’ on de faiters yo' co-1’
last week. He gwine need hit now to
fix up fo' de weddln’. An’ —an’ I 'tow
flat's all; on’y my name gwine be Ml
scroscope arter dis. Now, what yo’
t'lnk?”
The deacon’s only answer was an ex
plosive snort, which could not be form
ed into words. But he drew out a roll
of bills, part of which he counted and
gave to Microscope. The young man
rose to his feet.
"T’ank yo, deacon,” he said: '‘we’s
gwine be mighty good frien's, I see.
Now I reckon I better go roun’ an’ fin’
Cassia, an’ make up ’bout de weddln’."

HAVE NOT GIVEN UP
STILL HOPE FOll CONSOLIDATION
OF RICE LANDS.
CHANCE WILL BE WATCHED.,
FAVORABLE ONE WILL BE SEIZED
FOR CARRYING OL'T OF PLAN.
Some Three Yeara Ago It SeemeA
Certain That a Syndicate, in i
Which Boston Capitalists Were
Interested. Would Bring About a
Successful Consolidation of Some
16,000 Acres of Rice Lands on the
North Shore of the Savannah
River—Failed Through tile Re
fusal of Two Owners to Sell—Mr.
W. P, Carmichael Discusses Pos
sibilities of Snch a Consolidation.
The people who were tnteVested
some years ago in an enterprise that
would have meant the formation of
one great rice plantation on the north
shore of the Savannah river, near Sa
vannah, have not given up the project.
They still hope for Its eventual suc
cess, and an opportunity for the pros
ecution of their plans will be watched.
Boston capitalists were interested in
the plan, which contemplated the or
ganization of a company with a .capi
tal of $750,000, which was to be expend
ed in the purchase of some 16,000 acres
of rice lands and some IG,OOO acres of
upland and in the establishment of a
high bank and other improvements on
the property.
The plans had progressed to a point
where the consent of all the individual
planters save two had been secured.
In fact, papers had been signed by all
but two, and the promoters thought
that they had everything arranged be
yond peradventure. The two owners
who had not entered into the plans,
however, remained obdurate when they
were seen, and arbitrarily refused to
consider the proposition for a merger.
They did not need the money that was
offered for their lands, though the
price was high, and positively declined
to sell. • ’ ;
The refusal left the promoters non
plussed. From the freshet bank on the
north side of the river, some seven
miles above the city, down to Screven'3
Ferry, all the land had b°en secured,
save that of the two demurring own
ers. As it chanced, the lands of the
latter, while not particularly extensive,
yet had a very wide water front. To
have built a high bank for protection
against the river and storms would
have entailed some three miles of con
struction along the river front of the
lands owned by those who would not
sell, and this the prospective syndicate
did not feel like undertaking. Surveys
had been made, and it was estimated
that it would cost $150,000 to construct
the bank. Afterwards a railway for
the plantation, a rice mill and many
other Improvements were to have been
put In, and the principal planters,
some three or four, were to have re
ceived a salary of $5,000 a year each
for their services as superintendents.
Each would have had Jurisdiction over
4,000 or 5,000 acres, \fchile the smaller
planters would have become sub-super
intendents at smaller salaries. The
planters were thoroughly In accord
with the plan, one of the promoters
said yesterday, and regretted that the
failure of others to consent to sell had
killed It. They recognized however,
that the entire tract would have been
required, and that It would have been
useless to proceed with but a portion
of It. The break was in two plac*s
near the center, and rice planters will
appreciate the difficulty that would
have followed an effort to afford pro
tec cum for the lands.
The cultivation of 1,000 acres of rice
land*, iafe ftoin danger of overflow
through the agency of the great bank,
woul 1 mean a yield of more than 800.000
bushels. It tnny be understood from
tlieae figures that the promoters deep
ly regret tbe fr.lscsrrluge of their plan.
They are •till alive to tbe advantages
of the scheme, however, and. If p,*si
ble. they will yet carry It to a sue- j
ceaaful i oncluelon.
The continual peril from storms and
Hoods that threaten* doe crops can |
be avoided by a <oioblnatton of th* 1
li tercet. of tbe planteia whose lands .

guard successfully against storms and
the damage they wreak upon rice
lands, he would be comfortably off In
this world’s goods.
Physical benefits accruing to plant
ers from a combination of their inter
ests, Mr. Carmichael said, would be
many. Along the north shore of the
Savannah river, not far from Savan
nah, lie thousands of acres of valuable
rice lands, that could be dyked through
a combination and rendered absolute
ly secure againßt perils of storms and
floods. Absolute certainty, of profit
able results, he said, would follow the
planting .and there would no longer be
the haunting fear that the work of
months and the Investment of thou
sands of dollars might be destroyed in
a single day.
“It seems to me,” said Mr. Car
michael, “that it is impracticable for
any planter, acting for himself alone,
to win absolute safety against storms,
tides and freshets. Holland has re
claimed the most productive and,
therefore, the most valuable, lands by
a system of banks, canals and pumps.
Pumping for the rice lands would be
but a minor consideration. In Hollarid
they have farms; dwellings and vil
lages as much as seventeen feet below
the level of the sea, while in this case
we drain naturally from four to five
feet below the level of the land we de
sire to cultivate. Pumping, therefore,
would be necessary only in case of
continual high water caused by fresh
ets. high easterly winds or rains.
"The mean rise and fall of tide in the
North Sea is five and a half feet, and
yet banks fourteen feet high render
the country safe. If fourteen-foot
banks are safe there, I should think a
sixteen-foot bank would hold in the
most exposed places along the Savan
nah river. As the stream is ascended,
the necessity for high banks decreases,
and it should be possible to make a
fourteen-foot bank answer. Along the
rice lands on the north shore of the
Savannah river there are already many
well-settled banks that are about nine
feet above low water mark.
“A bank built on these banks, eight
feet wide on top and twenty-six feet
at the base would require 144 cubic
feet per foot more earth. A space of
nine miles long by 1% miles wide is a
little more than 18,000 acres, and this
will make 21& miles of bank, equal
to 113,250 liniel feet, and require 605,-
437 cubic yards of earth, which, at 50c
per cubic yard, would cost $90,816, or
$9.08 per acre.
“I would do away with ail flood
gates, depending on trunks to flow the
fields. A narrow-guage railway should
extend the full length of the system,
leading to the threshing mills and
pounding mil!. This latter should be
about midway of the system, having
suitable wharf facilities. With these
arrangements for loading the rough
rice into vessels, the freight and insur
ance no inconsiderable item, would be
saved. Of course, there would be
freight and insurance on the pounded
rice, 1. e.,‘ the rice ready for the con
sumer, but that would be a small Item
in proportion.”
A capital of $500,000 would be required
to carry out the plans in a perfect way,
Mr. Carmichael holds, but that would
mean immunity from dangers that
now make rice crops so uncertain. The
capital would include the value of the
lands, cost of constructing new banks,
a pounding mill, with a capacity of
300,000 bushels, the old threshing mill
to be used, twelve miles of narrow
guage railway, new trunks where
needed, wharf facilities, implements
and pumping arrangements.
Mr. Carmichael advocates a meeting
of rice planters interested In lands on
the north bank of the river for a con
ference over his proposition. There are
many questions of detail that might be
considered. He says he has no "ax to
grind,” but simply offers a suggestion
that he believes would be valuable, if
adopted.

contract, in which the damages were
alleged to amount to SSOO. The alleged
breach of contract consisted in the
failure of the defendant to carry out
with the plaintiff the terms of a lease.
When the case was called the counsel
for the plaintiff realized the suit had
been improperly pleaded, and it was at
their motion that, it was dismissed. It
will probably be brought again at an
other term of the court.
