Prohibition carried by vote of all

Prohibition carried by vote of all
the people at Mt. Sterling, KY.
Referring to this fact, the Louisville
Courier journal says:
THE prohibitionists are certainly
very much in earnest. Standing at
the polls in Mt. Sterling, handing out
ice cream as counter,claim against
the face Of whiskey of the antiprohi-
bitionists, was a man who was Second
Lieutenant in the Mexican War,
Brigadier and Brevet,Major General
in the late civil war, once member
of the Legislature, twice a member
of Congress, Governor of Montana.
1t is needless to say that his name
is Green Clay Smith.

Prof. E. E. Barnard, of Nashville,
Tenn, ON the 18th inst. discovered a
new comet located near the star
Lambda, in the constellation of ,the
Twins. His discovery was announce
ed by telegraph to Mr.. II. H. Warns
er, at the Warner Observatory,
Rochester, N. Y, and almost at the
same moment Prof Lewis Swift, Di<
rector of the Warner Observatory, re-
ceived intelligence that a large naked
eye comet had been discovered in
Rio Janeiro, South America. Prof.
Barnard is the first person the present
year to receive the Warner prize of
5000. The fact that these two comets
came into view at the same time is
exceedingly significant.

ACotton Syndicate.

S. r. Cockrill, of Pine Bluff, Ark,
Vice President Of the Cotton Planters
Association and of the Farmers Con-
gress, through the columns of the
Baltimore Journal of Commerce sug-
gests the building of cheap one-story
spinning mills on the railroads, and
with steam power to make yarns, and
double the value of our cotton. In.
stead Of paying A, B and G as middle
men, amounting to millions of dollars
on every crop, we propose to pay
everything as toll to the spinning
mills, and make yarn to send 10 the
European mills, instead of lint cotton.
We are not able at present to fur
nish machinery for our spinning mills.
We can furnish the ground and build
ings, and propose to the owners of
the great factories at Manchester to
send us the machinery from their
machine shops for these mills, and
take pay in stock in our mills, and
we guarantee a dividend of eight or
ten per cent on their stock by mort
gage on cotton plantations. The inn
portant results to us as planters are:
LIST, we sell our bales of yarn at Is
to 20 cents per pound, making S75
the price of a cotton bale, instead of
S45 now.
Our spinning mills in our climate
will not cost one~third of what they
do in the city of Manchester; hence,
the chances for large dividends, as the
sum will be less to pay on. We pro-
pose TO guarantee ten per cent divi.
dends on their stocks. They are
therefore at par from the beginning.
A correspondence is now going on
through the American consuls at
Manchester, Liverpool, London and
Bradford, preparing Tor the cotton
syndicate.

Senator jackson, in a speech in
Nashville last Monday night, read
the following statement:
some statement or article in the
Louisville Commercial of recent
date, purporting to explain the rea-
sons for the termination of the joint
discussion between my colleague and
myself has been pronounced by Sena-
tor Harris a Justification made out of
the whole cloth. | never saw the
Commercial, and was no way respon-
sible for it directly or indirectly, but
my colleagues contradiction of the
article has been tortured by cores
pondents and others into the report
now being circulated, as | understand,
to my prejudice and that of the state
credit party, that "quit or abandon
ed that joint discussion because of
the weakness of my CASE" This is in
correct. After the discussion COM
menced | made no overture or propo-
sition for its termination. The facts
of the case are simply these: On the
morning of September 9th, while on
our way to fill an appointment at
Milan, my colleague came to me on
the train and frankly suggested rea>
sons why our joint discussion should
not be continued. Considering the
reasons as sound, l assented to the
suggestion, and we stated in a joint
card to the public the fact that the
joint discussion was closed by mutual
agreement.

Col. Colyar, editor of the Nashville
American, has got mad at the point
ed squibs of the editor of the World,
and has written note to the
World editor, in which he
denounces him as liar, and says
that he "cannot involve the readers of
the American in personal matter,
nor can | afford to get into discuss
ion with paper run by set of black
guards" The World man ridicules
the matter, and then closes with the
following paragraph:
We disclalm any assault upon your
private character. With your public
character and as the owner
and controller of public journal, We
have dealt and expect to deal. And
we desire to say now that whenever
your paper leaves the right path, we
expect to stick the prod in and drive
her back again. She has toed the
mark for the past two days. We
hope for your sake and the trouble it
gives us, you will keep her there.

The desideratum Of locomotive
possessing the utmost possible power
in the way of making quick starts
and stops while drawing heavy loads
has led to many ingenious plans. Ac-
cording to one of the latest Of these,
no separate tender is used, but the
fuel is carried upon the rear portion
Of the engine itself, which is extended
back in the shape of a coalbunker a
distance of about seven feet, and
which gives capacity for three tons Of
coal. The water>tanks are placed up
on the engine, and extend back near
ly to the rear of the coal-bunker,
their capacity being from 1920 to
1900 gallons. The engines are dou'
ble>enders, with a pilot front and
back, allowing them to be run for
ward and back upon the lines without
changing ends, and are also arranged
with accommodation couplers for high
or low built cars. The total length OF
the engine is some forty feet, and it
stands upon six small drive>wheels
fifty inches in diameter, and with
two leading and two trail wheels
twenty six inche- in diameter.
