The Road to Success.
Cotton Factories in the South.

Cotton Factories in the South,
Austin Statesman.
If a New England factory can make
a profit of ono cent OH a pound OF
raw cotton it has done we'll. a
Southern factory has an advantage OF
one cent, some say more, on the raw
material. Has it been considered
what this means? This is equal to
twelve per cent on tho capital stock.
IT well managed it must make twice
as much as a Northern factory. This,
in fact, has been done generally by
the factories in Georgia and South
Carolina. A factory that cost $50, 900
in the South will make as much clear
profit as one that cost 100000 in the
North. A factory in the South will
make twice the dividend of one in
tho North. Can our capitalists find a
better place to put their money than
in such factories?
Poultry for the Young People,
That it pays to keep fowls, few, if
any, who know how to manage them
will deny but there are thousands of
people to-day who could ornament
some nook or corner in their city or
town lots with a small flock of our
domestic pets, and it would be we'll
worth while for them to do SO. Parents
generally believe that it will pay to
spend their money and considerable
time in making homo attractive, SO
their children may love it. The
care Of poultry will be interesting and
profitable to the boys and girls, and
if any one of the improved breeds be
adopted, much pride will be taken in
their breeding.

plants ought to be stimulated gently

water even more stimulating to your
plants than rain water. If you
water your plants once in two weeks
with guan0 water Zone tablespoonful

more thrifty. Chicken manure dis

Agricultural Observation-Disclosures
are not given to cultivating how many
grains of wheat placed ia a row it
would require to circle the earth, or
problems of similar nature but a
little arithmetic of this kind applied
to more practical subjects is worth
the while, as, foI instance, the follow
ing: Let two machines, one cutting
four feet wide and the other five, fol-
low each other 10 grain for one day,
each being drawn distance of TWEEN
ty-four miles; tho former will have

the former must travel 200 miles,
tue latter only l60.. A saving of for
ty miles travel with a heavy load at
the end Of so long a journey is a
matter of no small Importance. 1t
is a saving, too, of forty miles walk
ing, or ten miles for each of the four
binders. 1t is a saving, also, to the
farmer of two days labor for himself !

Jobbery in Life Insurance.

In different parts OF the country, life
insurance companies are failing. They
have been in the hands of wreckers, and
their assets have been foully dealt with.
Policy-holders have been robbed of mill
lions. The business of wrecking life
insurance companies has made some
men very rich. 1t is great crime; a
worse crime-a far worse crime than
robbing bank vaults, after gagging the
night Waterman. And what we desire
to say at this time is simply this-that
Connecticut should make this wrecking
business such an offense, with such pen
alties, that it will never again be at
tempted in this State. Laws can be
passed to reach every person engaged in
this sort OF robbery, and it will be the
duty of our next Legislature to pass
them. We have already laws upon our
statute book providing State-prison pen
alties for frauds on corporations. 1t Is
the duty OF prosecuting attorneys and
other officers to examine into these laws,
and find whether criminal prosecutions
should not be instituted against persons
who have violated those laws, if they
have been violated.-Har5ord Times.

A Punctuation Puzzle.

The following article forcibly illus
trates the necessity of punctuation. 1t
can be read in two ways, making its
hero a very bad or good man, the result
depending upon the manner in which it
is punctuated. 1t is well worthy the
study of teacher and pupils:
He is an old and experienced man in
vice and wickedness he is never found
in opposing the works of iniquity he
takes delight in the the downfall of his
neighbors he never reioices in the pros
perity of any of his fellow-creatures he
is always ready to assist in destroying
the peace of society he takes no pleasure
in serving the Lord he is uncommonly
dilligent in sowing discord among his
friends and acquaintance he takes no
pride in laboring to promote the cause
of Christianity he has not been negi-
gent in endeavoring to stigmatize all

Part Payment.

At last a man has been found who has
got even with the demon debt-collector.
One of the hideous tribe took trip up
the country this spring to try and get a
debt of $3.50 out of small hotel-keeper,
who was in arrears to his liquor mer-
chant. Boniface received him politely,
and said that he would give him some
thing on account the next morning, as
he expected a gentleman then in the
house to pay him bill. The dollar
squeezer, of course, staid over night,
got up next morning, called for his bill,
paid So for his board and lodging to the
clerk, and then went for the proprietor
to get the promised coin. After hang
ing round all the forenoon, the smiling
debtor held consultation with his clerk,
which resulted in three half-dollars be-
inc extracted from the drawer and duly
handed to the impatient dun. What's
this?n he yelled. "DOllar and half, y
returned my host; "yOu are the party
1 expected to pay me bill this morn
inc, and | think I've done a pretty
square thing in giving you fifty per cent?
of it. Hand me a receipt for the amount
and credit me with it on the bill. "
There is a small potato-dealer now on
the City Front who makes a modest
competence by the sale of his tubers
but ever and anon, as he wanders among
his sacks, he murmurs sadly: "How
that hotel-keeper did clinch me, to be
sure!' 1t was the last bill he ever tried
to collect.-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

The Ups and Downs of San
Francisco Life.

Joined to the failure of crops, comes
the panic, or panics, in mining specu-
lations. Few States could stand the
shock of s2Oo,OOO,OOO shrinkage in
her securities in sixty days. All classes
of the community are involved. Thou
sands have dropped from positions of
affiuence to poverty within the period
named. One man reputed to be worth
100000 has lost all, and is said to be
S300,0OO in debt Now that this dis
aster is keenly felt by all classes, from
the hod-carrier to the richest mining
magnate, is seen in the general effort at
economy that universally prevails. The
Sheriff's lock is seen upon the door of
hitherto prosperous merchants; old es-
tablished houses are calling upon their
creditors for accommodation in the way
of extensions; houses in the course OF
erection are stopped midway, and bust
ness blocks, for the time, are held in
abeyance. Personal economy appears
in hats a little out of style, and coats
seedy an the edge, with rather musty
smell, suggestive of a raid upon a ward
robe long since laid aside. And yet it is
refreshing to see with what complacency
these men part with their splendid
homes, their magnificent teams, and
their expensive habits, and, figuratively
speaking, rolling up their sleeves and
buckle in again to win back the fortunes
they have suddenly lost. Perhaps no
city on the continent has made such
rapid strides in commercial prosperity
as the Queen City of the Pacific Coast;
and certainly no people have acquired
such great fortunes in so short a time as
the wealthy citizens of this community
during the past seven years, but to-day
they are suffering from an over-specula-
ton, or the initiation of securities based
on fictitious values.-Cor. Ne1Carb i'd

sions, festivals, suppers, lectures, ETC.,
to raise funds for their own private use
and benefit Public appeals must be for

tinued till after nightfall, meetings of the

Lines on a Beautiful Girl.

All golden is her virgin head,
Her check bloomy rose,
Carnation bright the fluttering red
That DER it softly flows;
But neither gem nor fioweret vies
With that clear wonder of her eyes.
But twice hath hue like theirs been given
To be beheld Of me;
And once twas in the twilight heaven,
Once in the Summer sea;
\ yearning gladness thence was born,
A dream delightful and forlorn.
For once I'm heaven single star
Lay in a light unknown
a tender tint, more lucid far
Than all that eve had shown;
1t seemed between the gold and gray
The far dawn of faery day.
And once where oceans depth divine
Ger silvern sands was hung
Cleaned In the half lit hyaline
The hope no song has hung
The memory of world more fair
Than all our blazing wealth of air.
For dear though earthly days may flow,
Our dream Is dearer vet
How little is the life we know
To life that we forget
Till in a maiden's eye we see
What once hath been, what still shall be.

From a Dance to Death.

A letter from Giddings, Texas, July
6, to the Galveston Ne1CS, recounts the
following tragedy:
Lee County is largely woodland, the
growth being mainly post oak, afford
ing excellent mast for hogs. The prairie
portion affords splendid grazing for cat
tie. Thieves have long infested portions
of the county. The cattle of the prairieS
have been stolen in large numbers.
Horses and cattle have been systemati-
cally stolen and driven off. 1t has been
impossible to convict the thieves. Their
numbers are so great that they conceal
each other and the stolen property, or
conveniently prove in court all that is
necessary to liberate the guilty. The
people, despairing of redress by ordi-
nary process of law, have. for some time
been engaged in pursuing extraordinary
means. Judge Lynch has frequently
been appealed to.
About fourteen persons, in the last
two or three years, have been hanged
or shot by vigilants in Lee County.
Some were taken out of Jail, some
caught at their homes, and the. latest
haul was made from dancing party at
a private house, where four young men
were carried two hundred yards from
the scene of revelry and hanged. The
people of the house were afraid to venture
out until next morning, when they found
their late guests, stark and cold,
swinging by their necks from post-oak
limbs. As the young men were being
carried out by their masked captors they
repeatedly called out to the girls they
had been dancing with to come out and
see them hanged. They knew their
fate. Usually there are feuds in neigh
borhoods where such tragical scenes oc-
cur, and theft charged is the only excuse,
revenge and private hatred being the
moving cause.
heard it said that Longley, the
champion man killer of the Lone Star
State in Jail here, would try to get a
continuance, and that if he did he would
be taken out of jail and hanged.
If the Sheriff can protect his prisoner
he should do it. 1t is barely possible
that the extensive hanging and killing
by Lee County vigilants may result in
clearing the community of a large class
of thieves and murderers, but the
chances are it will leave the community
divided into hostile parties and clans,
and that many more homicides will oc-
cur in the future than in the past.

Something in the Bed.

Judge Pitman has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he goes
to bed. The other night somehow ii
slipped down, and, as the Judge was
restless, it gradually worked its way
downward toward the foot of the bed.
After bit, while he was lying awake,
his foot touched it, and it felt very cold.
He was surprised and scared, and, jump
ing from bed, he said:
"By gracious, Maria! there's a toad
or snake or something under the covers.
1 touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream, and
was out on the floor in an instant.
Snow, don't go to hollering and wax
ing up the neighbors," said the Judge.
j." You go and get me broom or some
thing, and we'll fix the thing mighty
quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the Judge, with the remark that she
felt as if snakes were creeping allup and
down her legs and back.
80, nonsense, Maria! Now you turn
down the covers, slowly, while hold
the broom and bang it. Put a bucket OF
water alongside the bed, too, SOS we can
shove it in and drown it,
Mrs. PItman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and as soon as
the black ribbon of the watch was re-
vealed he cracked away three or four
times with his broom. Then he pushed
the thing off into the bucket. Then they
took the bucket to the light to investi-
gate the matter. When the Judge saw
what it was, he said:
81 might have known that. just like
you women, to go searching and fuss
