ALEXANDRIA
COMPRESS AND WAREHOUSE
COMPANY.


The undersigned respectfully calls to
the attention of the producers and
buyers Of cotton, the superior facili-
ties offered by this company for the
storage and handling of cotton, which
are as follows:
A large, commodious and finely con-
structsd compress building, connected
with covered yards, all constructed and
arranged in such a manner as to secure
the greatest degree of safety possible,
thereby enabling the company to obtain
the lowest rates of insurance.
Large cisterns, and an elevated tank
constantly kept full OF water, supplied
from well by means Of steam pumps,
and fully supply of hose enabling
them to reach every part of their prop
crty in case of fire.
Competent and reliable watchnen
are in charge at all hours of both day
and night.
| The advantages Of transportation to
and from the compress and warehouse
will he readily appreciated when the
fact is known that the tracks of both
| the Texas and Pacific and the South
ern Pacific pass in close proximity to
their platforms, and that the Red River
tnd Coast Line Packets have made Al
exandria one of their terminal points,
having established large and commo-
dious wharves and warehouses jnst
above the limits of the City of Alex
andria; said wharves, warehouse and
landings being connected with the
tracks of the T. g. p. r. R. thereby
avoiding entirely the necessity of dray-
age to and from the steamboat landing
and the compress and warehouse.
The charges for storage, handling
and COMPRISING of cotton by this CON-
pany, will be as reasonable as those OF
the most favored markets of the coun-
try.

IFor the Capital
Que stions to be Considered.

If an average of AZ per cent. duty
is protection how can an average of
40 per cent. duty be free trade
In other words is a party which
advocates tariff which yields an
average of AZ per cent. duty pro-
lection party, and party which ad-
yocates tariff which will yield an
average of 40 per cent. duty free
trade party. 1t seems to be the one
Republican idea in this campaign to
brand 40 per cent. tariff which
will save to the people of this coun-
try annually at least fifty millions
of dollars as free trade and make a
terrible bug boo of it.
A party that has nothing better
to go before the county with than
such stuff had better back out and

1T is apparent that the loss of
life by the collision between the
steamships Geiser and Thingvalla
will soon be forgotten. The pub
lie mind is surprisingly sluggish in
such matters, and until another
similar catastrophe shall arouse a
temporary feeling of horror, and
cause protest against the indiffer-
ence with which human life is so
largely regarded, little thought
will be given to the evil But per-
'haps the people are sluggish because
they trust to their representatives
in Congress to act for them. The
bill which passed both House and
Senate providing for an Interna-
tional Maritime Conference to
agree upon u uniform code of sig
nails at sea, and which is now in
the hands of Il Conference Com
mittee of the House of Representa-
tives, ought not to be subjected to

THE TIME OF THE FAIR.

| to grumDle ABOUT. Il was mol 70 10
expected therefore that the time for
the County Fair would suit everyone
no matter what that time might be.
There are good many reasons, how
ever, which governed the choice OF
time selected for the Fair this year,
which might readily occur to any
one. In the first place, as Anne
Arundel county is more justly cele-
brated for her fruits and vegetable
products than for any other, this
would seem to be of all others the
best season for making creditable
exhibit in those respects. In the
second place, every week in Septem-
and in October is already pre-empt-
ed, SO to speak, by other fairs in
neighboring counties; and, if we
hope to interest outsiders, or to drop
into the scircuit" of exhibitors,
who make practice DIGGING from
our county fair to another, we ought
not to interfere, with other fairs
AS to the time selected being extra
ordinarily early, it is only one week
earlier than the Baltimore County
Fair, which, as one of the oldest in
the State, had the whole year to
choose from and has deliberately
selected the first week in September
as the very best time for its fair.
In the third place, the weather
is more apt to be settled and pleas
ant during the latter part of August
than any time later OH through the
season of equinoctial storms, until
you come to the Indian Summer.
In the fourth place, after the first
of September our longing season
for oysters begins and you could not
get that large portion of our people,
who are engaged in that industry,
to abandon their business to attend
the fair, or to take part in the var
ious boat races which are to be one
of the most interesting and bene-
fetal features of the fair.
In the fifth place, often the first
of September. the public schools
open, and as all fairs are he'd DUR
ing the middle of the week, so as to
enable exhibitors to bring their ex-
hibits on Monday and to take them
away on Saturday, the children
would not be able toget the benefit
of the instruction which good
fair would afford them, nor fan
important cousiderations) would
the treasury of the fair reap the
| financial results of their attendance.
In the sixth place, the BAY Ridge
season closes the first. week in
September and many of the
attractions of that place-the salt
water bathing facilities, the band,
the electric lights, the fully equipped
restaurants, the hotel, the gravity
railroad, the regular steamer and
railroad trains and the numerous
other special amusements, officers
and employees, all of which will add
so materially to the interest of the
Fair and to the comfort and
pleasure of those who attend it,
would be found wanting to great
extent, had later date been
selected. These are some of the
reasons, Mr.. Editor, which influence
cd the Board of Directors in their
choice. As the time has been settled
upon it would seem that true
friends of the Fair should try to
encourage its managers in their
arduous and unselfish work rather
than to throw cold water on the en-
terprize By carping at what it is too
late to alter even il change were
desirable.

JOHN SINCLAIR.

John Sinclair died at h is late residence in
Hillsdale, Mich, Feb. IA, 1888, at the age of 10
years. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland,
May 20, 1909. He came to the United States in
1921, and on Dec. s, 1880, was married to Miss
Elizabeth Chisholm, at New York Mills, N. Y,
where he resided until the fall of 1886, when
he removed to GAINESVILLE, Mich. Having been
engaged in agricultural, manufacturing and
mercantile pursuits for term of years, he
retired from active life and removed to Hills
dale, Mich. His wife died Aug. II, 1871. He
married for his second wife Mrs. Juliette M.
Corey of Fayette, Mich, Aug. %, 1872, who sur
wives him. He was man of more than ordi-
nary attainments, and in conversation the
graces of his heart seemed to sanctify the
keenness of his intellect. He was devout
advocate of the larger hope as taught in the
Universalist church. of which he was an hon
ored member for many years. The Univers-
alist parish at Hillsdale. Mich, sustains agreat
loss by his death, but his faithfulness to the
interests of the church, his high Christian
character, his warm, generous nature still lin.
ger as rich treasure in the memories OF his
brethren. The Free win Baptist church of
Hillsdale, of which his bereaved companion is
member, will miss him, as WE'LL In company
with his wife he attended that church each
Sabbath morning, and in the evening he was
found in his place in the Universalist church
He was generous supporter of both churches
and exhibited spirit of liberation and good
will toward all that others might well initiate.
The funeral services were conducted in very
impressive manner by the Rev. W. F. DECKER
man. pastor of the Universalist church, and
Rev. A. T. Salley, Prof. of Sacred Literature
in Hillsdale College.
