From New York to London by Rail.

People will, instead Of risking
the dangers of an Atlantic trip and
the horrors of NAL de mer, as well as
for the purpose of saving time,
leave New York for London via St.
Petersburg and thus will be exem
plified more fully the great speech of
Senator Benton, when, in pointing
from Washington toward the Pacit-
ic, he exclaimed: "There lies the
East; there lies India!'
There are nov two lines Of rail-
way running east gard from st. Pc
tersburg toward the Ural noun
tains, one terminating at Orenburg
and the other at Ekaterinburg, and
the car has lately approved Of 6
plan to build a railway continuing
from the Ural mountains to the
Pacific ocean, a distance of abont
1000 miles, including the l5Ot
miles already constructed from St
Petersburg to the Ural. This road
will have it's eastern terminus al
Vladivostock, which is situated a.
the furthest southern extremity o
Rushian territory lying on the Pa
cific coast, on that side. This o
itself, will much shorten the tril
from ST. Petersburg to American
Pacific coast ports, superinducing
as it will, a line of steamers from
Valadivostock to American ports
across a much narrower portion O
the Pacific ocean than that of tn,
course Of the steamers now plying
between Vancouver and Yokohama
But in little time, comparative
ly, the route will be all rail from St
Petersburg to New York. The gen.
Grafton now growing up will maxi
the trip.--Portland Oregonian.

Weed Out the Scrubs.

The great growth of all sorts OF
forage crops the present season af.
fords dairy farmers an opportunity
to dispose of the non paying COWS
of their herd at fair price, and
have goodly sum to purchase
something in their place that will
more than pay for their keep. Well
fattened beef cattle are bringing
good figures now, and will likely
continue to do so the balance OF
the season.
Let the farmer Gull out the poor
mixers and utilize his coed crops
Of hay and corn, turn them into
beef, mbering the old adage,
"a little farm well titled" applies
as well to the dairy. A less mum.
Der of cattle takes less care, less
feed, less room and provided they
ell pay . profit, give better return
for the investment than a large
herd of poor animals. If farmers
will give this subject some thought
they will see how much better it
pays to keep cows that give returns
of $50 to $50 per year, than $50 to
$50.
Even the poor, despised scrub,
with a good, warm stable and ra-
tion of grain at least once day
the year rou 1d, will respond to this
treatment and make good returns
for the extra care and feed. II is
only by . continual pro. ess of Sc
lecting the best that the ordinary
farmer can hope to raise the quail
ty of his herd. The time to do this
work is now; make beginning and
see how much easier it is to have
ten cows yield five hundred dollars
year than twenty five.

Tennessea,s Senator.

The Age Herald does not care to
he understood as meddling with
Tennessee politics, bat it occurs to
US that in the warm and exciting
contest between Senator Harris and
Gen. Atkins for the United States
Senate, that the Legislature Of Ten
nessee might well consider the mer-
its of her distinguished citizen, Ex-
Gov. John c. Brown. Gov. Brown
has always been . true and loyal
son to Tennessee, both in times OF
peace and war, and to day is well
known throughout all the Southern
states as broad gagged, intellect
ual and upright man. Since his re
tirement from the Office of Cover
nor of Tennessee, he has in various
capacities been connected with the
great railway systems Of the South
He can in no sense be called {
wrecker of railroads or an ally o
corporations absorbing the wealth
OF the country and inimical to thu
Interests ofthe people. On the
contrary, Gov Brown has given hi
best energies to the development o
the resources of the South, and thu
has been instrumental in addin.
greatly to its wealth and population
So that the fact Of his being rail
road man is to his credit and shoule
not prejudice the people agains
him. -
That Gov. Brown is a man o
great financial and business ability
is evinced by the confidence reposet
in him by capitalists and his sue
cessive promotion to high officia
positions. In the Senate of tn
United States Gov. Brown would b
a conspicuous figure. No man il
the State oil Tennessee would fill tn
position with more dignity or abil
itv.
Harris and Atkins are both goo,
men and either would make an ex
cellent Senator, but if the contes
develops the fact that neither on
can be elected, why not elect job

Now For Homs Enterprise,

The election is once more over,
thank the saints remarks . Tonnes
see Exchange, and the worry and
turmoil and hope and despair at
tendant on a presidential campaign
is hushed to rest for another brief
period of four years-all too briei
in our estimation, for the country
should not be plunged into such
terrific and business stagnation ex
-citement oftener than once in six
years.
And now that the election is really
through with, no time should be
lost in settling down to the steady
routine of business. How to in
crease the prosperity of our towr
and country is the next thing il
order. With that comes the en-
couragement of such reforms ano
enterprises as will be of benefit t.
the community. Money which il
in the hands Of men who hoard i
away and allow it to stagnate witt
themselves is of little or no advan
tage to place or its inhabitants

ere it commences to bless its abid
ing place. And what better monu
ment can a man leave behind hin

Besides private enterprise, ther
is abundance Of room for public eff

transportation of our products an

Cotton Mills.

TIE CITIZEN remarked last week
that cotton mill would pay in Pu-
laski. The question may arise in
some minds. How, would 1t pay?
The Fayetteville Sun answers tuis
question for U.s.
AS one of the first results more
money would be spent and put in
circulation amongst US, which is
certainly most desirable. Idle
hands and those accepting any sort
of cheap work could be employed
on something regular and protita-
Bile. The advantage to the manu-
facturer would be the cheap labor
and the advantage to the laborel
would be regular work at living
prices.
The farmer would get the market
price for his cotton. making his
regular agricultural profit; and be
would have q market and ready
3sale Tor food for the hands ano
others depending on them for a liv-
ing, and this would form his seconC
profit and as final result, instead
of shipping raw material for some
body e'se to work up, thus furnish
ing means for the support of per
sons at distance, the manufact-
ured articles would be shipped ant
in it's increased value and bette
price, we should find final profits
those on the capital invested ant
the labor employed.
Now, with these advantages il
favor of cotton mills, can not tn
necessary capital be found to inves
in such an enterprise? We trust /
will be found at once and speedil
used.

The Goose Bone,

The foreshadowing of the ap-
preaching winter, as it is read from
the dots and lines on the goose
bone, Is not cheerful story. The
promise given forth Of sleet, snow
and cold, is gloomy picture for
the poor to look upon, and the
many whose short purse will not
permit them to lay in a bountiful
supply of fuel will SILVER at the
thought of the kind of weather that
little bone foretells for the next
four months. There will be more
cold and wet weather. than the peo-
pie of this latitude have expert
eneed for many a winter, and the
cold spells will be longer and more
severe than usual. The bone is
dark at both ends, which indicates q
long winter. Winter weather we
will have IN November, and the ice
and snow will be familiar sights fal
along into March.

Hints For Homes.

If you have any shares of non-divi-
dend paying stock, now is the ii ne
to sell out and invest the proceeds
in a ton or two of camel coal.
Do not sniff or shuttle any more
than is necessary. Wait until the
red pepper in your fall clothes has
had a chance to blow away.
1t might be well, in view of the
approaching cold spell, to have that
pane of glass you smashed With a
base ball on the Fourth of July re.
placed.
Your husbands discarded white
beaver.is very good article in which
to store the little packages OF cam,
phor you have just removed from
your furs.
Never leave the baby in your
husbands care while he is shaving
Western courts hold that to have
to walk the floor with an infant il
ones arms and with ones face hail
covered with lather constitutes q
good cause for divorce.
A comfortable costume for house
wear about this time is what il
known as the ''pot-pourrl." It is
asst winters trousers, last summers
vest and pea jacket. 1t is not ex
actly elegant, but it serves it's pur-
pose quite as we'll as q new suit fol
the present.
If you entertain largely insist
that your guests smoke the cigars
that you provide. You will then a
least have the satisfaction of know
ing what it is that scents your por
there's and leaves your halls in thu
| redolent state that is SO delightful

Democrats and the Tariff,

The Democratic party has been
killed several times, but somehow
or other it makes wonderful resur-
rections. When it was beaten by
William Henry Harrison in 1910 the
cry was that the tariff question had
destroyed it. Four years afterwards
1t stood up and elected Polk on the
Texas and taslff issues. In 1S4S
the party was once more declared
surely dead. The tariff had done it
again and Zachary Taylor was chos-
en- President, yet in 1852 the De
mocracy put Franklin Pierce in the
White House and followed up its
success by electing James Buchan-
an. 1t lost the country on the sec
tional issues of 1890. 1t won il
1884 and now we are sgain assured
that the tariff discussion has buried
it forever. But the Democracy is 8
long lived party and In 1892 history
may repeat itself and the control o
the Government pass once more in
to it's hands.-N. Y. Graphic.
