WINCHESTER AND VIcIN1TY-From the
Ne'os We clip the following:
Last Wednesday evening Allen Poole, a
young man residing in the western part of
this county, was shot at Back Creek ford
and supposed to be mortally wounded. He
was shot through the back, and it is reports
ed that policeman Evans, of Winchester,
who had been deputized by tho United
States revenue officer Kirk, fred the fatal
shot. Kirk and Evans went to arrest Poole
who was charged with selling whiskey with
out license at a campmee,ing a year ago,
and which charge he bitterly denied. Poole
started to run when he abserved the officers.
with the above result. Poole was about rs
years of age.
Last Wednesday morning man arrived
at the Hart Hotel, by an early train from
Harper's Ferry, and registered himself as
@. b. Will, of Timberville, Shenandoah
county, Va. He seemed to be between the
ages OF 80 and IS years. After registering.
he stepped into room in rear of hotel off ice
and the attendants hearing pistol shot,
rushed into the room when thoy found him
on the floor. He had shot himself in the
forehead, through the brain, with revolt
yer. DIR. S. Taylor Holiday was immedi-
ately summoned and did everything possible
tor the unfortunate man. When questioned
by DIR. Holiday as to the cause of the act.
he simply remarked, 81 had my reasons for
1t, and became inoommunicative.

Geo. W. Tabb, Esq, aged 65 years, who
renewed from this county to Harrisonburg,
Va, shortly after the late war, died in the
latter place on Saturday night week. Mr..
Tabb was well known, both here and in
Rockingham as an honorable, upright cit
izen and was consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church. Mr.. Tabb was not, as
some of our exchanges have stated, the fore
man of the jury which convicted John
Brown, but one of the jurymeD, the late
Jno. G. Wiltshire being foreman.

THE COTTON lB(D(DM m THE
SOUTH.
The Property sfthe aetorles.
HarltEonl (Conn \ Post

The old dream OF Southern factories
manufacturing cotton groods in the cen
tire OF the cottOn-grow ny country is in !,
lalr way Of realization. For the last ten
years the progrpssin his direction has been
very striking and now in most of the cot,
ton-srowing States the new industry is
fairly started. and in some it has attained
considerable dimensions. In Georgia. for
instance. single factory, started FIVE
years ago, with a capital Of 500. 900 has
grown toa corporation with five factories.
a capital Of 81, l5O, OOO, and is paving twen-
" pr cent. Similar, development is re-
ported at different points in the State, and
III number Of instances the growth has
l'een hundred per cent. or more within
Two or three years. So in other Southern
states the same thing has gone on until
cotton-mills are found in considerable
numbers, almost all doing thriving bust
ness. and most Of them leading to the es-
adjustment of Others in the vicinity. The
advantages Of southern mills are too plain
to need much description. The cost of
transporting the cotton North for manufac
lure Is about thirteen per cent of the price
Tor 1t, and most Of this il saved to South
ern mills. The cost Of living is less at the
SOuth, and there are all the incidental adj
vantages which attend the working of a
staple article near the place Of it's produc-
ton. In this case, too, there is the special
stimulus which comes from success in :.
new field. The novelty Of the thing has
not worn OH, and is attractive in itself.

Public Spirit.
(Suga,. Plantcr.j

fubllc Spirit IS sort Of localized ma

To the Editor of THE STAR.
Have you ever taken a ride on the cars of the
W. and O. railroad from Washington to-say
Falls Church-o- vice versa? If not. even at
the risk of advising a step which would increase
the income of the road. say go. haoe been !:
go every day. On arriving at the B. and p
depot at four in the afternoon, the genial gate
keeper stands ready to pass you through the
gate as soon as you have shown him your ticket
or. if you know him. say :" Hello. Cap" and wink
with your left eye Che always stands on your
left.) and that has the same effect. On the right
are the cars-sick-iookin9 musty, fusty things
excepting the two front ones = hich belong to
another cOmpany-whOse engines escort us TO
the junction from here and here from the iunc-

think that the Washington and Alexandria
raiiroad must require great pecunary induce
ment to agree to hitch on TO such cars as ours.
or else that they must be ''hard up When the
swell conductors of the swell cars come round I
ieel ashamed that men SO nicely dressed should
nave to come into such dirty cars. think it is
very kind of them. John Robinson's circus has

w. d o. R.R. have hired them, the latter possi-

swell company's engine unless the w. & o. R.R-
could DO something to make herself look a little
more decent.
THIS morning our train was an hour late,
leaving Falls Church at $40 a. m. instead OF
TAO q. m. Wien the attempt was made to
leave the depot the engine displayed symptoms
of breaking down altogether. In fact, she frs-a
quently. after stopping. (and nobody can deny
that she stops frequently was too weakto start
again. True there were four cars behind her.
All these little drawbacks were removed, how
ever by the assistance Of armand crowbars In
response to. the following mandate from the
conductor: .sPull her round, Bill!n We all felt
anxious about the engine. and more 80 when
we were informed that ''only half of her would
