VIOLA.
The NeighbOrhOod News from Our
Regular Correspondent.

VIOLA, TENN, Mar. s, 8S8-Things
have been rather quiet for the last
week. Farmers are very busy but
the cold weather delays them some.
Wheat is looking very well for the
season. Some of our farmers have
examined the fruit crop, and say that
about half the peaches are killed, but
apples are not hurt so far. We are
in hopes there will be good fruit
crop this year, as it will bring many
dollars into the country.
Mr.. w. G.. Covington, of Wood
bury, was in our village Wednesday
with his fine horse, "Sid Lewis"
Our stock men were favorably inn
pressed with the horse. We think
our people should turn more of their
attention to raising finer grade of
stock, as fine animal always brings
about twice as much as a sorry one,
and it takes no more to feed them.
We would like to call the attention
of our citizens to the fact that the
grave yard at this place needs to be
looked after and a new fence put
around it. We know that almest
every one will help to fence it, and
we wish those who have friends and
relatives buried here would give it
their attention and get the move on
foot, and it will be no trouble to get
the work done.

COTTON IN CHIN A.
Manufacturing the Staple-The Effort
to Introduce Machinery.

to Introduce Machinery.
From the Boston Journal of Commerce.
Cotton manufacturing by power is find
ing an existence in the empire of China
Mention has been made in these columns of
an effort in this direction at Shanghai The
beginning Of the enterprise was the intro
duction of a number of Japanese cotton
gins SO arranged as to be run by belt power
from steam engine. AT our solicitation
correspondent at that place secured for
us a plan of the plant which we
may at some time illustrate should the
subject become of sufficient interest.
Recent advices from Shanghai in
form us that the Chinese cotton merchants
of the place have petitioned the au-
thorities adversely to the further prosceu-
ton of the cotton spinning company's ope-
rations, which are now confined to cleans
ing the raw material aud placing it upoa
the market. The object of the company is
to spin and weave the cotton which it gins,
but which has not yet been attained beyond
the preliminary steps. The election enter
tanned by the petitioners toward the com
pany is because of the latters practice of put
ting its ginned COTTON upon the market in
competition and TO the prejudice of the
business of the cotton merchants The
authorities are evidently not in sympathy
with the purposes of the petitioners, for
in their reply they express no apprehension
of the injury described and feared, "a the
amount of cotton annually cleansed by
the company with its machinery is only
very small portion of the cotton marketed
in Shanghai. Besides, the Superiority of
machinery over hand work, which it illus
trates. cannot but tend to tho advantage of
commerce." The authorities are not slow
in condemning the petition as exhibiting a
disposition TO obtain an improper monopoly
and undue control of the cotton business
The company, at present, is simply utiliz-
ing its ginning machinery till its plant is
completed for spinning and weaving
When these plans are consummated protests
will more likely emanate from the manu-
featuring population than from the mercan-
tile class

SCIENTIFIC WATCH STEALING.

A prison official relates the following
story: when speaking one day to con-

was giving a word or two of friendly coun-
sci, asked him why he could not turn over
a new leaf and become an honest man. i
could not. sir he replied, 4 must pick

row if | met you in the Strand; not he
added, but what Id give it back TO you, for
you've been very kind to me. Would you
like to know how to prevent your watch
being stolenH he continued; Just let me
have it for minute Curious to learn
useful hint, | was about TO draw nv watch
from my pocket, when / found that 1t was
already in this experts hand, without my
experiencing the slightest touch. He then
explained to mo that the most approved
method Of detaching a watch from its
owner was to hold the ring TO which the
chain was attached firmly between the
finger and thumb, and then, with sharp
twist, snap the steel pivot connecting watch
and ring, leaving the watch free in the
thief s hand and the ring on the chain. "A
dead loss to us, he added. with cool effront-
cry, of shillings.' He then showed me
that II the ring and watch were connected
by swivel joint, the difficulty Of watch
stealing would be increased SO much AS to
make it scarcely worth the risk

"How many people part the hair on the

"Should say less than one in twenty"
And why do SO many men part it on the

Because" replied the artist, brushing
back stray lock. They've been brought
up to it from infancy. A mother facing
her boy always holds the comb in her right
hand, and il being easiest TO comb the hair
from left to right, she parts 1t on tho left.
The boy when he grows up and is able to
comb his own hair, finds the part on that
side, and follows the line marked out by his
mother. That's why the majority of men
part on the left"

once went to deGsely populated Italian

germs may have spread. DIR. Edison, of tae

Dr. Edison examined the man late this
evening and pronounced 1t a genuine case

NEW PHASE IN THE STRIKE.
The Three Brotherhoods Request Arbi
tration OF the Trouble.

The Three Bro1herhoOds Request Arbi-
tration of the Trouble.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2S-The switch
mems strike has assumed new ana threat
eniAg phase. Traffic in the yards on the
Belt road moved along with regularity to-
dav. The officials assert that new men are
applying constantly. The situation with
the strikers had grown desperate; they mus,
do something. Consequently they called
a secret conference last night with the en-
gineers and fremen at which very strong
sentiment favorable to the switchme was
manifested. After prolonged discussion, Il
decision was reached, which the striking
mon hailed with pleasure. In accordance
with the action of the meeting, committee
composed of representatives Of the three
brotnerhcodI was appointed to call upon
the officers of the various roads to-day and
request them TO submit the matter at issue
between them and the swltchmen to arbi-
tration.
THE CALL.
This forenoon the commit ee called on sew
eral superintendent and followed its in
structionS. No thr at accompanied the re
quest, a d the officills were left to Judge
for them elves whether the refusal to heed
it will lead to greater complies
tions. That they regarded this
phase of the trouble as much more
serious than mere surface appearances
indicates Is evident from the haste with
which they gathered into secret conference
at the union station. The result of this
conference of the superintendent has as
yet taken no definite form, either for arbi-
traton or concession. The brakemen have
been outspoken in their sympathy for the
switchmen ever since the strike began. On
several occasions early in the trouble they
refused to fill places vacated by strikers and
were discharged. This action they took
simply as individuals, but it is now under
stood that their brotherhood has passed on
the question and officially instructed its
members to fill no places which the switch
| men have abandoned
