He has the process for making the bulk
of the seed into cake fer stock feed, after
it has been through the oil mills. and pro-
cesses for burning the haIls, from the
ashes Of which fertilizers are made. In
fact every process for the culture or hand
ling Of cotton il gone through with on
the place, and every particle Of the
product, except the stall, is made to yield to
him its ultimate profit. By these thorough
and sagacious methods Colonel Richard
son has amassed fortune estimated at
from six to forty millions Of dollars, and
has established the fact that there is no
business that pays better than growing
cotton with free labor and manufacturing
if near the fields in which it is grown.
The time viii soon come when capitalists
will initiate the example of Colonel Rich
ardson and when his vast estate will be
typical of many similar places throughout
the South.

joyment Of perfect health. He manages
the infinite details Of his business per-

THE JAMES BOYS.
If Crittenden's Plans Had Eeen
Carried Out They Would Be i'm
Jail Now.


St. Louis Republican,
Governor Thomas |. Crittenden ar.
rived from Jeffepson City last evening
and went Immediately to the Southern.
Shortly after his arrival a reporter for
the Republican met the Governor in
the rotunda of the hotel. He said
that bis visit at this time was purely
on account Of private matters, and
was OF no public significance whatever.
However, in the course of a casual
conversation the Governor alluded to
the Republican, lengthy account pub
lished a few days ago about the James
boys and their rendezvous in Ken
lucky. And His Excellency further
remarked that if his plans had been
promptly carried out, and to the let
ter, by the detectives he thinks the
James boys would now be Jail birds.
Governor Crittenden talked at length
in regard to the horrible crime Of train
robbery, and said he intended to not
only use every meas within his
power as Governor to punish robbers
aud outlaws, but would have those
