J " CELEBRATED
A FLORIDA W02IAN WHO HUNS A
SAWillLL.
The following letter written to the
NortJiwestern Lumberman, contains
a number ot homely truths that ap
ply to all sorts of mechanical
werk:
Your letter of a late date request
ing me to give my experience as a
lumber manufacturer is at hand. I
will state at the start that I am not
in the business through choice; but
baring loaned money to parties with
which to purchase a sawmill. I was
compelled by their failure to make
oven the first payment to tako tho
machinery from them. I then put
my son-in-law, Ernest "Wever, who
promised great things, in charge. I
told him I knew nothing of sawmill
ing, but I know that the sawdust was
too fine and tho scratches on the
boards too close together. I left him
to run tho mill, but in a short timo I
found he could do no better than
other men, and I took him out of
thero so quick it made his head swim.
I moved tho mill a distance of 20
miles, fording tho Hillsborough river,
and placed it near my own house, at
an actual expense of S9; and in a few
days I had everything in good order.
I have my own teams and carts, and
tako timber from my own lands.
Althogh accustomed to manage my
own affairs commencing by tho timo
I was grown, I found difficulties
enough in making lumber, and I have
often said that a sawmill and Satan
belong in the same family, and some
people say that sinco I bocamo the
owner of one they aro suro of it; but
whilo they talk I am at work. This
is the trouble with half of the coun
try sawmills: There is too much talk
ing and not enough work. "Why, Mr.
Editor, tho most men talk over a log
long enough 1o saw it into inch
boards. Then when they get started
they discover that tho fireman has
not steam enough; then they must all
sit down and talk again. By the
time steam is up and one or two
boards sawed, a belt must bo ro
paired, which might just as well bavq
been attended to before working
hours in the morning or at noon.
Then one man sows tho belt while all
ongige in talk again. When the belt
is ready tho sawyer gets it into his
mind that tho maohinery needs oiling;
then he hunts up the oil can, for ho
never has a place for anything, and
goes around spirting oil into every
hole but tho right ono, whilo tho
other hands go on with their talking.
Tho next day they aro out of logs,
and the mill hands do nothing ex
cept to allow "their time to go on."
The day following some of tho men
are reported sick, and more time is
lost At the end of tho month thero
is littlo lumber and no money, nnd
they all wonder why sawmilling does
not pay.
I knew well enough that machinery
is made to run, and when running it
should be at work, and all I had to
do was to keeptho saw cutting for
ten hours a day'and six days in the
week. In order to do this the mill
must be kept in good order, not by re
pairing brokon parts but by keeping
it from getting broken. Ana I soon
saw that the parts of machinery out
of sight were neglected tho most I
would suppose any man would know
that it is tho insido of things that
needs attention tho insido of the
boiler, tho inside of tho cylinder, the
inside of tho pump or inspirator is of
far more importance than the outside.
Nothing makes me more angry than
to see a man rubbing up the outsido
of his boiler, when I know the mud is
six inches deep inside, baking, burn
ing and blistering the iron; yet I have
seen but few sawmills except my own,
But I saw how that was managed be
fore I took possession of it, and I am
told that others are managed no bet
ter.
Many a man in tho saw mill busi
ness would do well if he could get
skilled labor, but this state is cursed
with a tribe of sawmill tramps who
claim to know everything, and when
tried can do nothing. They are al
ways on foot and out ot money, yet
if wo aro to .believe them they have
been tho superintendents of tuelarg
est mills in America. Every ono of
them has been uovernor JJrews prin
cipal sawyer for at least ten years, re
ceiving not less than S6 a day. They
all know more about machinery than
the men who mako it, and aro ready,
not to commence sawing, but to com
mence cutting, changing, splicing and
Tebuildiirg, with the promise that if I
will trivo them 3.50 Tier dav and
board they will double the capacity of
my mill and bo ready for work in about
three weeks. I have never been de
ceived by ono of them, but they loave
their mark wherever employed. One
half of them ought to be hung and
the .other halt sent to tho peniten
tiary. Ono came to mo a few days
ago who was an exception, for, not
withstanding he was "the best sawyer
m londa," ho was willing to work
for S10 a month and board, or $12 if
he boarded "hisself" hungry look
ing wretch! T wouldn't have boarded
him even a day tor $2, and I know ho
couldn't board .himself at any such
price. Said I, "Do-you see that road
out thero?" He rery meekly said ho
did. "Then," said I, "you go out
there, and when you get to it you take
either end you like: tho ono that will
put you out of my sight the quickest
will suit me tho best" Ho went If
he had no$iI would have put tho dogs
after nun m three minutes.
I employ none but the best hands
not paying too much or too little, for
ono iaun is aoouc as taa tue otner.
I can't say just what my lumber
costs me. but I know that when sold
I hnve taken in more money than T
have paid out I am 53 years old, or
about that, was born m Florida, aud
was raised at a time when bookkeep
ing was not thought of.
I now have my second hus
band, and I am the mother of nine
children, seven of whom aro now
living. Several of the elder are doing
business for themselves, yet tuey
always c ime to "mother ' for advice,
and "when thev don't take it they
wish they had. I have always man
aged my own business, and 1 expect
to while I live. I awake in the
morning and plan' the day's work
while tho men aro asleep, and at the
breakfast table I give every one his
orders, including my husband, who
never objects to my doing the think
ing ror tne lamuy. m
My first advice to men who con
template going into the sawmill
business is don't do it, for not one
in twenty of you has the ability to
succeed. If, however, you aro de
termined to trv it be careful that
you get tho best machinery, strong
and heavy enough to stand the bad
treatment of awkward hands. i3uy
the most durable belts, no matter
what they cost, for half the failures
in our backwoods mills aro caused
by constant breaking of belts. And
when a complete outht is secured.
locate where you can get timber and
sell lumber. Keep your machines in
good order, taking special caro ot all
parts out of sight. Pav your hands
in cash, and not in promises, for they
work for tho monev, and not for any
love they have for you or your busi
ness. When you can't pay, shut
down, stack your lumber, and dis
charge all hands. Your mill will
neither eat, drink, nor wear anything
while standing still. But when you
do run: work everything to its full
capacity.

Old Sol. Miller, editor of the Troy,
Xas., Chief, and who has a wide repu
tation as the possessor of a peu dipped
in red-hot gall, but withal a little
wioked and a good deal irreverent,
was recently nominated for the Kan
sas senate by the Republicans. The
religious element held a meeting nud
indignantly determined not to sup
port him. The crowd was. large.
unanimous and enthusiastic Jhey J
appointed a committee, so- me story
goes, to wait on old bol and notify
him that ho must withdraw or
they would burst him. The com
mittee found the old man in
his sanctum and proceeded to unfold
their mission. When tho spokesman
had finished and the others had in
dorsed his remarks, the old gray
headed editor straightened to his full
height pointed a long bony finger at
the committee, while a strange gutter
came into his eyes, and he spoke in
low, freezing tenes: "For thirty
years I Lave published a paper in
this town. Not a week has passed in
all that time but some truly good
Christian man has been to me and
begged that something to his dis
credit should be withheld from pub
lication. I havo always complied.
But the articles, though not printed,
were always written and filed away.
I'm a methodical man. I havo moro
than 1,000 articles within reach of mv
hand, embodying every disreputable
scrape and adventure that tho best
aud religions element in this com
munity has been engaged in for the
last thirty years. And I just want to
say that it I am defeated at tho polls
I will start a daily paper the next dav
and I will never stop until I havo
printed every one of those stories.
That is my answer." Tho committee
crept quietly out and returned to the
meeting to make their report A si-
lience like that of death fell upon tho
assembly, till the purring of a cat
upon the pulpit cushion sounded like
tho filing of a circular saw. For ten
minutes no one spoke, when at last
the sexton said: "I move we adjourn
