So, Palmer's Life of ThornWelI.

We had the pleasure during the past
week of meeting the Rev. A. J. With
crspoon, of New Orleans, who has been
canvassing the State in behalf of DR..
palmcr's Life Of the lamented Thorn
well, and who Is now i'm our town pros
ccutirfg his mission. He has met with
the most gratifying success everywhere
and will doubtless meet with the highest
measure Of encouragement in commu-
nifty like this, where DR.. Thornwcll was
so we'll known and so highly appreciate
cd. We deem it work of supererroga-
ton ts.eemmend a life Of Thornwell by
ofpr SO competent to the task as DR.. Pal
mer. Thornwell's was one of the
brightest minds, and most thoroughly
cultivated ntcllects of this or any other
country Or age, whilst his biographer is
Il man Of kindred genius and his life
long associate. The biography will be
a work of six hundred pages, published
by subscription, at SIS. The fifteen hum
drcd subscribers required were easily OBJ
tanned in a few weeks, and the list will
be largely increased. The work will be
delivered in the Winter.

From the Greenvillc News.
Card from Judge Cooke.

Greenville, S. c., July S, 1915.
Mr.. EDIroR.-Some ofthe newspapers
of the Sth circuit seem to be greatly eS-
erclsed about the statement cOntalne III
your issue of the 9Th instant, where L
am made to say, "All his orders have
been TO the effect, that officials deposit
according to law" This sentence when
taken into connection with the preced-
ing one, which reads as follows: I'VE
called on Judge Cooke, and he stated
ephatically, that he did no such thing,
nither here or in any other country in
his circuit; and further, that he would
not think of ordering the funds OF
any county in his circuit deposited in
Il bank outside Of it," explains itself.
ANY one must see that the whole which
appeared in the GrccnuUc NceCs, had re-
ference to the deposit of county funds.
Now, Mr.. Press nnd Banner fails to
draw the distinction between county
funds and court deposits. The latter be-
ing referred TO only in my order of the
Sd May, 1873. | know of no law which
rives me any control over County

I have heretofore stated, upon represent

duce me to act in the interest Of the pco-
pies welfare.
The order of May, the Sd, 1873, / am
aware was wrong as TO the place OF de-
post, but was made in good faith, from

1ssThis'@story is founded on facts the
scenes and incidents are located in a
thriving New England Village, noted
for its busy hum of cotton spindles and
looms; while the actors who figure in
the drama are natural to the very life.
It is so we'll written that from the
opening chapter it carries the mind OF
the reader to the banks of rapid river,
on bright October morning, and thence
he is compelled for the next few days TO
follow the Author, and make the ac-
quaintance of the various characters
introduced.
The scheming of a wiley attorney
with his accom- piices, for wealth.. which
stops not even at crime, is strongly con,
trasted with the manly character and
honorable motives of the hero.

Profits Of Manufacturing

There is and should always be ]
community of interest between man
ufacturers and farm producers. The
real profits of each are too little
known to the other At some seasons
of prosperity, capital invested in man.
ufacturing pays large dividends, but
no more so than farming in Iowa, in
favorable years. If we had more re-
liable statistics of the profits of fac.
tories, and iffarmers would keep such
accurate accounts of the profits of
their farms and labor, there would
probably be more sympathy for each
other. We annex few items Of the
profits of the New England mills
which some of our readers may ina.
CINE were making enormous profits
in their business, protected as they
are by what some term burdcnsome
tariff. Study these facts in connec-
ton with other things which naturally
suggests themselves.
Boston papers publish their usual
semi annual statement of dividends
payable there in July, showing that
the total amount is $9,sSO,54O, divi-
ded as follows: From railroads, ST.
26,5Sl; manufactures, 1888, 900; in
terest on bonds, $".,3O3, ,9O9; miscel-
laneous. s325,4.O. The total last
January was 9,94s, 400, and in July
of last year, s9,1l7,3,s. The state
ment shows that railroad dividends,
for long time the steadiest on the
list, have begun to break, and the ten
per cent stocks are gradually fading
away. The Connecticut River, which
has divided FIVE per cent semi -annu-
ally for the past seven years, now
drops to four per cent, and the Wor-
cester and Nashua, paying ten per
cent for the past FIVE years, comes
down to three and half per cent
The Boston and Lowell, an old stan.
dard, which has missed but one diyi.
dend during twenty years, is compell-
ed to ''pass." Manufacturing divi-
dends make up poorly, and besides
several reductions large number are
compelled to "pass." Among these
are the Atlantic, Cabot, Chicopee,
Clinton and Franklin. Others which
have passed twice or more, are Bates
Dwight, Great Falls, Norwich Wool
en-. Salisbury and Washington mills.
The Androscoggin reduces from FIVE
to four per cent, Hill four to three,
Lowell Bleachery six to four, and
Middlesex six to four per cent. The
Pacific maintains its regular Ten per
cent semi-annual. The Cocheco paid
ten per cent June 18th, and the Sal
mon Falls passed at that date. The
Manchester increased from three to
four per cent, and the Newmarket
nothing to three per cent. The gold
payments at the Boston sub-treasury
will be about s3,5O2,OOo coupon and

A Southern correspondent of the
Watchman and Register draws
very melancholy picture of jeff.
Davis present life and the i'll fortune
that has logged him ever since his
downfall began. He came out of the
great struggle, says the writer, with
money enough to enable him 20 live
comfortably tor his remaining days,
but an evil genius seems to have
pursued him; every investment was
a failure. He sought employment,
and was made president of life in
surance company; it endured his sd-
ministration for a year or two, and
then gave up the ghost. He bought
stocks, but always to sell again At
less than cost. And now he is, or
very soon will be, dependent upon
the charity Of the people, many of
whom have an aversion for him. He
would rather work than lay himself
under obligations even to his best
friends, but he is over seventy years
old, and nobody cares to give en-
ployment to man whom bad luck
persistently follows. Indeed, he has
but few friends-none among the
loyal people-and the people Of the
"lost cause charge all their failures
to his mismanagement; SO he lives
with his wife and quite numerous
family in quiet way, avoiding pub
licity. He declined to deliver the
Decoration Day address at Mem
phis, saving that he was directly in
terested and that he might say some
thing that he should afterward be
sorry for. His punishment is in
deed severer than if he had been .
martyr to the "lost cause" on the
scaffold.

Gr;,>slioppcrs in Nebraska.

\ writer from the North Platte, OF
June 18th, takes the following hope
ful view of the prospects in Nebraska:
This is the most senseless Of all the
cries against the State. Nebraska
has been afflicted with grasshoppers
grievously, and may be again. But
what country has not had them, or
some trouble equally severe? Ohio
has had weevil, the Hessian fly, and
the potato bug. Wisconsin has had
the cut worm and chinch bug, and at
regular intervals every section has its
pests. The grasshopper is going
east; this year it is in Missouri, and
Illinois and Indiana may get vista
ton. Probably Nebraska will not
be visited by them for twenty years.
They never do damage the second
year, and do not come regularly any
where oftener than once in seven
years. Nebraska, in respect to these
pests of the farmer, has the cleanest
record of any State in the Union,
The grasshopper raid produced the
first failure of crops in that State in
eighteen years.

"A .3udiciOIs License Law

The platform of the Democracy
declares in favor of "a judlcious H.
cense law Will some of the Dem
ocratic papers tell us what a Judi
cious license law is, that the public
may know what the platform means?
The Davenport DeD,ocrM is very
brisk and fresh on this subject. Will
it tell rs just what the phrase i'm
plies: The keokuk Constitution and
the Council Bluffs Giobe are still
brisker and fresher on the same line
VIII they tell what they think it
means? Come, let us all know what
we are to understand by "a julicious
license law" The Iowa City Press
and the Dubuque Xsroid, before the
Convention O! their party was held,
declared in favor Of Il $1,000 license
to each saloon, with heavy bonds and
heavy penalties to 90 with it, thus
giving the liquor traffic into the
hands of the rich IA a monopoly, and
shutting out all the saloon men OF
small mrans. IS this what is meant
by "a iud'rious license law? pa de-
livery of the whole saloon business
over to the wealthy, and no more
common saloons, but all gilt-edged
and gaudy and tonev affairs, with
marble counters, tiled flooring, and
magnificent trappings. We have
heard nothing about this Thousand
Dollar Idea since the Convention was
held. VIII the Uer"H and the Press
tell as if the liquor plank in the plat
form is this idea done into words and
fashioned into a political principle.
Come, gentlemen, you loudly accuse
the Republican press of being too
cowardly to discuss this liquor Jues-
ton. Let us see il YOU dare discuss
it yourselves. The public has been
given is yet no definition whatsoever
as to the real meaning of the cock
tail department Of the Democratic
State platform. No paper of that
party has told as vet what is intend
ed to be conveyed by the trick words
of "a iudicious license law" So,

Irish, Ham, and Williams. will you
please be so kind as to let waiting
and puzzled public know what the

interpreted means or is intended or
supposed to mean,-,Sate Register.
