New York SUM-
music FOR CONGR EssMEN.

Come up. exultant Democratic
So long outside of once rings:
Come up, and toe the mark, and face
The music that the voter Ings.
The song he sings is nothing new;
He sang it well in seventy-four;
He taught the words and music then,
And now he adds few notes more.
Though weary of the ancient band
Whose shocking discord panied his ear,
He doubts If you hsve caught the key.
And waits your opening bars to hear.
Sing, then, the plain and simple tune
That Jefferson sang long ego;
The music suits the votsr well,
And every note your leaders know.
Sing out the centraliEiug force,
The public robbers fraud and greed,
The useless tax that ties US down,
The surplus that we do not need.
Sing in the purer, better days
For which the weary voter signs,
The men of clean and honest ways,
Home rule and all the name implies.
III Frorn your uidc-Shouat drop avay-
Some restless hearers through the land,
Fear not, for every thief you lose
Two honest men will join the band.
Sing. Democrats, the good Old. song,
That now will seem like something new
Sing out the days OF fraud and wrong,
Sing in the just and clean and true.

THEPIONEER COTTON MILL
The Most Promising Thing i'm the Way
OF Manufactures In the Country.

Samples of rope, twine and stageing manu-
featured by the Pioneer Cotton Null, of this
city, on exhibition at the Cotton Exchange,
speaks volumes for this new enterprise. 1t
has been but ten months since talk of a
cotton mill in this city was commenced, and
in this brief period the company has organ
lied, had stock subscribed, built building
which would do credit to any New England
mill, put their machinery all in position,
and manufacturing daily various
products, for which they have a large de-
mand. Had Memphis few more such en-
terprises prosperity would be assured to her.
In this mill are employed about 100 men,
women and children, all receiving remuner-
alive pay. The treasurer of the Graniteville
Cotton Mill, of Augusta, Ga, in his state
ment to the directors, made only a few
days since, shows a net gain Of
1929, S43 for the last twelve months,
being 80 per cent. on its capital stock.
He also reports having paid for thirteen
dwellings for operatives. 1t will be seen
that after having paid for these thirteen
dwellings, the Graniteville- Mill made 80
per cent. on its capital in the last twelve
months. Why can't we do the same in Mem
phis? We predict that after the first annual
statement is made by the Pioneer Mill. that
the cotton-mill fever will break out in Mem
phis, and within twelve months other mills
will be in course of construction. The gen.
tlemen composing this company are of our
best business men, and embarked in this en-
terprise with determination to make the
Pioneer Mill success and Memphis cotton
manufacturing city. We wish them much

THE large consumption and the increasing

induce the inventive genius OF the American
people to discover new aud cheap materials
for the manufacture of paper. Major j. r.

this city, has, BY accident, made discovery
which promises to revolutionizs the paper
