TaSAESSPPE Nft.sS EXHIBIT

From the Times-Decocrat we clip
the following relative to the handsome
display made by the Wesson Mills at
the Exposition:
Of the line Of goods manufactured
by these mills, all the many varieties
are shown in the exhibit, Of which
Mr.. Caulkius, the agent, has
made an unrivalled display. Near
each of the four corners, forming A.
it were, out lines OF IA square within
square,and four octagonaI pyramids
OF cassimers, doeskins, linseys, tweeds,
Jeans, cottonades, osnaburgs, sheetn :,
sLirting, Drilling, checks, plaids, towels,
sewing thread and cotton rope; the
yarlgated colors Of each Of the sever
al kinds Of goods manufactured by
the mills, showing out in pleasing
contrast from base to pinnacle. From
the top of each OF these pyramids
arching over the sides Of the square,
signs Of blue and gold, bearing the
inscription "Wesson, Miss, Missis-
sippi Mills" Within the pyramids
are retiring rooms for ladies and gen
llemen. About the platform, iiaaklng
the entrances, arc 6 glass cases show
ing the process OF manufacturing o.
cotton and wool throughout the varl-
Gus stages. In one of the cases, wool
in the fleece, and wool secured and
washed is seen. Another case shows
the mixture Of various colored woods
which, as revealed after carding, pro.
duoes the desired color OF texture
into which it is aiterward to be con
vtred
The various manipulations Of cot
ton from the raw material to the
warp ready for the mill is also showi
which, together with the Ineligible
description by MIR. Caulkins, gives
the visitor thorough knowledge o
the subject. Noticeable among these
exhibits are the cases Of cotton and
wool prepared by Miss Bessie Caul-
kins, the daughter of Mr.. II. 9. Caul-
kins. Her work, developing attract
i've beauty in the simple arrange
ment OF balls of yarn, has ATTRACTED
much attention.
In conclusion, the visitor is advised
not to miss the Mississippi Mills ex-
hibit, and as seeing is believing, $,
is conviction forced that the Soutl
has its manufacturing interests turn
ing out class of goods equal, if not
superior, to the best in the land.

War Veterans in Congress.

The frank confession of Mr.. Turner,
of Kentucky, tina. he had been beaten
by one-legged soldier when no two
legged man could be found to beat
him in the race for Congresses suggests
some inquiries about the men in Con
gress knows how hot lead feels. There
are two men in the House now who
have lost limbs upon the battle, and
one or more in the Senate, while
there are dozen or perhaps twenty
who were wounded in the war.
Mr.. Oates, of Ala, carries au empty
sleeve, having lost his right arm i'll
front of Richmond, in charge OF Con-
f,derate regiment, having been wol II l.
ed not less than six times during his
war service Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa,
walks with Il wooden leg, having lost
his leg at the battle OF Corinth, while
serving as an officer in the Union
army. Only close observer would
note the fact that he walks with an
artificial leg, and but few days ago
gentleman lost "A bet which he had
made against the assertion that Mr..
Henderson had lost II leg. In the Sen

sentatives, Senators Butler and
Hampton, had the experience of part

Senator Butler, lost his in the war
He left his right leg on the field of
Brandy Station in 1868.
Each of these gentlemen have
learned to use tho artificial leg, now

observer seldom notes substitution for
that which nature provided. Con-
gresham Hunk, who was member Of

of service, could not use the ordinary
artificial leg of to-day, and was
obliged to content himself with Il
plain wooden coutrivance, supple

The Importance Of One Vote.

The Importance of one vote is for
gotten when heavy majorities roll in
for the favorite candidate, but when
he scrapes through, or is defeated by
a small and uncomfortable figure,
then "the might have beens" rise up
to accuse and breed discomfort to
ones feelings. The closeness of the
Illinois Legislature now doubtful,
and at best one way or the other only
by IA bare majority OF one or two, and
that one or two depending upon one
vote more or less gathered from Chi
cago, II city of half a million people
is the latest illustration Of the i'm
portanoe OF one vote. The Jefferson
vile News relates an instance where
one vote elected Representative, a
United States Senator and, perhaps,
annexed Texas to the United States.
The News gets its information from
Hon. Dan Blotcher, of Holman, Scott
county, Ind. 1t was in 1916, when
Ham Davis was the Democratic can
didate for the Legislature in that
county. Just before the polls closed
William II, English asked Mr..
Blotcher if he knew any voters who
had not voted. He said yes, "there
was Wash Owens, but the darned
beggar wouldn't come because he
had no boots. Mr.. English insisted
that Blotcher should get Owens, so
he started for him. Owens refused
to come to the polls because he had
no boots, but Blotcher by "A deal OF
persuasion got Owens to start on the
promise that he would lend him his
boots. Accordingly, when the pair
got within half mile of Licking
ton, B.otcher pulled off his boots and
loaned them to Ovens. In those
days it was universally the custom to
treat voters, and Owens received his
dram and fifty cents, and, leaving
Blotcher standing barefoot i'll the
cornheId, started Tor the polls. He
voted and then proceeded to invest
the fifty cents in Jersey lightning
The consequence was that Owens
got gloriously drunk and forgot all
about Blotcher's boots This was =
modification Of Daniel in the lions
den. 1t was DanieIs's barefoot ii
the cornGeld, and he at length grew
lonely and started after Owens will
red vengeance in his eye, OF course
it is using mild language to say tina
Blotcher was mad. But when the
ballots were counted and Hiram
Davis was found to be elected by !
majority of one, then Uncle Daniel.
wrath was changed to rejoicing. Blu
this was not the only good result. II
the contest for United States Senator
Edward G. Hennegan was elected b,
one majority, and Hennegan's vot
annexed Texas, bringing on TIN

Cotton Statement.
New YORK, Jan. Bird 1888.

New York, Jan. Bird 1888,
When we issued our annual cir.
cular in Sept. last the market for
cotton and cotton-goods was very de-
pressed, Irbthat Circular after Civ
ing some reasons why more cheer
ful view of the situation should be
taken, we remarked that there was no
probability that the growing crop
would be large one, and we ven
tured to predict that before the end
Of the year the whole situation might
change for the better. 1t is admitted
now that the crop cannot much eX-
coed that Of last year while it may
fall short of it, and in prices mark
ed rise has taken place.
The stock in Liverpool is $4,000
bales less than last year and 100000
bales less than in 1888.
Stock in L. S. Ports is 262, 452
bales less than last year and 5O,O63
more than in 1888.
The total visible supply of cotton
in the world is 350,4l8 bales less
than last wear and gS912 bales less
than in 1888,
This decrease in the total visible
supply is owing to the enormous
consumption of cotton, which is fully
as large as it was last year and larger
than in 1888.
The export demand for our cotton
has been very great this season, fol
although general business through
. out the world has oeen dull for some
time and heavy shrinllage in values
of all kinds has occurred,and although
some leading products have beer
over produced, the present position
Of cotton is strong.
Receipts at the [. S. Ports have
been free, but great stringency in
money matters in the South, an un.
usually fine picking season and pei
fected means Of transportation have
all combined to cause an early move
ment of the crop. So free a move
ment out Of crop of but moderate
size must cause a more than usually
abrupt falling off in receipts at al
early date
In view of all these facts it is clea
that the question of the cotton sup
ply for the coming year is Of grea
importance. That the acreage will
he as large as it was last year is un
likely. The financial condition o
the planting interest South is sue
that a large outlay of money is nee
essary to make the new crop, but j
is almost certain that the prevailin!
depression in business and the timid
itv Of capital will cause merchant
and factors to greatly lessen thei
Y advances and in some instances t
