The establishment Of channel tbat

of carrying from 40 to 80 bales of cotton
would certainly be a great convenience for
the people.
From the information before me 7 am
not prepared to say that there is any urgent
necessity for this Improvement.

iuu'Dls 70 Ninety.nlne Islands Shoals, q
a's.ance Oh Sat miles, supplying the larger
mis To bo would sS cost less Pc,
miles to the head of navigation.
The improvement of this lower reach of
cat miles is estimated to cost S46,731.25.
which includes the repair of Lockbart
Shoals Canal, and the improvement of Tiger
and Pacolet Rivers.
The improvement Of che upper portion
from Ninety-nine Islands Shoals to Green
River, distance of 463 miles, is estimated
to cost $38, 1908.
We can but think General Gilmore has
greatly belittled the. importance of this
work. Even with the only improvement
he deems can be recommended, and covered
by the expenditure of $50, 900, if Mr.. Car
sons information Of the cotton. crop of Coun.
the freight On half tbese Ib7 oO0 h,jes
could be reduced one.half which il not nm.
likoly. no less than seventy cents . hale
wouid be- saved on this cotton to Co,mmh;a
This alone would amount to own s50 O00
per annum. and if onlv half this amount
were saved the whole imnrovement would
be paid for in four years' saving.
Let us have the imnrovement of 900 OOO
we then urge on our Representatives and
the future development of the river will
take care of itself amplv.-CoL Reoister:,

complains persistently of her husband, ex-
tenuating naught, reserve your sympathies
Tor the husband.
In nine cases out Of ten he is justified
by the very means used to heap reproach
upon him. Imagine man detailing domes-
tic grievances to every friend whom he can
| corner In the attitude OF listener. Ina
gine the contempt he would excite. The
woman who publishes her own domestic
discomfort In such manner does it to her
own shame. Ii she be not above doing so,
we may reasonably suppose that the hus.
band Is long suffering man whose philoso-
phy alone makes lie endurable-and it is
only enduraole.
