A GOOD sUGGEsrIO,A.

viz NANAASAO VI AAdA ANbld olA NODO
county the wisdom and Importance
of building cotton factory here.
A valuable suggestion is made by
Col. d. w. X. Peacock OF Carriers
vile, through the Express, which is
worthy of perusal.
He says suppose every county
Alliance in the State was to go to
work through committees to solicit
subscriptions in either cotton or
money, get good central location
and build cotton factory and own
it and operate it themselves or by
competent agents and what would
be the result? Let's see. First
they would save all cotton bagging
OF any kind. Second, they would
save the profits of all middle men,
both, warehouseman snd dealer.
Thirdly, being manufacturers them
selves, they would save the profits
OF the manufacturers, and lastly
they would be independent of all
combines against their cotton.
Now, the question is, will it pay y?
Manchester, Eng, has grown rich
and prosperous by manufacturing
our cotton. Lowell, Mass, has done
equally we'll on the same line and
according to the article referred to
in the beginning of this article there
is difference of S6.77 on every 500
pound bale of cotton manufactured
in the south over those manufactur-
ed in Manchester.
The next question t. be consider
ed is, have the farmers the ability
to manage this business, and l un-
hesltatingly answer yes. No set of
men are endowed with better minds
than the farmers of the south. The
truth is, they have the ability so far
as intellect goes to do anything.
know of no cotton factory whose
report l have examined which has
failed to make a dividend of from
twenty to thirty per cent. for the
past twelve months, and who is bet
ter entitled to this profit or outcome
than he who honestly tills the soil
and makes his living by the sweat of
his face.
Again, when the cotton factory is
then we'll under way then establish
an oil mill and guano factory
Chemists say there is no fertility in
the oil and if this be true all oil in
seed used only as a fertilizer is a
great waste because if the oil is not
fertile, then the residue is, and by
your oil mill you save the oil and it
is all profit except the bare expense
of saving it, Then the residue in
the shape of cotton seed meal re-
mains on hand as the foundation for
your manipulated guanos. Put this
in your guano factory and make
such additions as your judgment
and experience dictates ard you
have as good fertilizer as any of
the fertilizers of the day and at
manufacturers cost. Now as to the
profits of this latter branch of the
business | have heard of one factory
in this state which declared divi-
dend on last years operations of 80
per cent.
Now, let us sum up the result and
we have the profit of the cotton crop
itself. Next We have the profit Of
the cotton mandatory believed to
be not less than from twenty to
thirty per cent. Next We have the
profit Of the guano factory with its
profit of so per cent. Can anything
beat it,"

Quality versus Quantity.

Hunt & Co. have demonstrated
the fact that the people of Marietta
want quality rather than quantity,
for by handling only the best of
everything and strictly pure goods
they have built up trade that has
certainly been very satisfactory to
themselves and now desire to ex-
press their appreciation by continu-
ing to offer only such goods as they
can recommend as being pure and
healthful. Having for long time
endeavored to keep always on hand
the best Jersey butter, they are now
prepared to always offer a fine table
butter, which with the aid Of re-
frigerator, they are able to keep
firm and in fine condition.
Dove brand hams and breakfast
bacon and pure leaf lard are among
their specialties. "Momaja" coffee
is the best blended coffee on the
market, and the Java and Mocha in
two pound tins is the certainly the
finest to be had. Their "Aime"
flour has made itself an enviable
reputation and if you want good
bread or biscuits try 1t. Crockery,
glassware and table cutlery in full
supply.
Agricola's bread fresh every day.

1t is computed that 100000 tons of
cotton seed are now pressed annually
for their oil, and uses of the oil are
constantly increasing. Still there
has been no material advance in the
price obtained by planters for their
cotton seed. The cause is attributed
chiefly to the fact that one concern
monopolizes the market for seed,
fixes Its price, and buys or kills
competition fast as it is started.

To the Emporia Republican: As you
are so particular about other papers
defining their positions on public ques-
tions, let us ask what is your position
concerning the charge of nepotism and
favoritism brought against the presi-
dent. Of course, you are aware that
the charge is based on the admitted
fact that he has appointed a number
of relatives and friends to Office. Is it
wise or polite to show such favoritism?
Again what have you to say about his
discharge of Git, the oldest and most
experienced official in the st. Louis
post Office, for not all ow-
ing the presidents father
in-law TO sleep at his desk during
business hours?Is it not an evidence of
a small spirit? Again, what have you
to say about his discharge of Marshal
Jones whose guilt, if there was any,
was no greater than that of Marshal
Needles? Is that your idea of a correct
civil service system. AS you have
avoided any expressions on these topics,
about which the NEWS was not back
ward in declaring itself, please let us
know where you stand, or what you
think about them.

So the Emporia Republican thinks
Democratic Office holders should be
kicked out as fast as competent Repub-
licans can be foun to fill their places"
All right. 1t therefore desires that
President Harrison eat his own words
respecting faithful execution of the
new civil service laws, that he belle his
public and official utteranees on that
subject, that he stultify his administra-
ton, and expose himself as a sham re-
former and fraud, to the contempt
and merciless ridicule of the nation.
Noble sentiments those in the Repub-
lican, but not at all surprising to those
acquainted with the high order of polit-
ical honesty and noble aims and aspir-
ations of its editor and proprietor. For
tunately for the nation and for its good
name, the president is not the coward
and timeserver, the spokesman and
plant tool of the ixers that the Repub-
lican would have him to be. His admin
istration of the civil service law has
not given satisfaction, but it is not the
bowling mockery and shameless fraud
the Republican would wish it to be.

rHERRALC CAUSE.

Gov. Eskridge pirates like a school
boy about smoking out THE NEWS"
as ne puts it. He isn't able to smoke
out mouse, if there were any smoking
out called for.
The chief trouble with him is his in
tense and consuming selfishness, aggra-
waited and made intensely disagreeable
and disgusting by a morbidly sour and
splenetic nature.
He cares nothing about the political
status of THE NEWS. That is not at
all where the cause OF pain lies. His
foolish and absurd cackling about the
great concern he feels lest it should
harm the cause of republicanism is all
poppycock, all sham and pretense that
deceives no one.
The removal of THE NEWS to its
new quarters is what hurts and drives
him to such grotesque and unseemIy
exhibition of malice and meanneSS.
It is all matter of dollars and cents.
That and nothing more. By the change
he is put out of pocket at least 800 a
month. There is where the mischief
lies with him. AS long as THE NEWS
was a tenant of his, and in other ways
aided him and his paper, he was con-
tent, no matter what its politics. When
it decided to go elsewhere and stand
upon its own foundation and fight its
| own battles without fear or
favor of him or anybody
else, he showed his long ears and
kicked like mule, clOaking his malice
in the meanwhile under a sham pre-
tense of fidIlity to, and watchfulness
over party interests though such a
course, if it were not pretended, could
| justify the ridiculous and uncalled flor
personal attack on the editor of the
| NEWS.
| He forsOOth, could not witness the
NEWS holding position in the re-
publican party in which it might
damage that party! oh Lord, what
hypocrisy! what humbug, what .bOsh
and fiapdoodle! You area wonderful
| guardian, you are Governor, a brave
sentinel and most devoted patriOt-in
the pigs eye. Your political devotion
| is of the purely mercenary sort. You
are mere political IIessian, as every
body knows, whose espousal of a
course would damn it everlastingly. if d,
you were of sufficient Importance.
What have you been doing for the past
seven or eight months? Have you been
asleep at the post of duty? What
the NEWS is now, it was several
months ago. Why did you withhold
your warning roar until it had
decided to be no longer a
tenant of yours? If you had raised
your voice against it some time ago
your action would have had at least
the merit of seeming disinterested
Now it is no more than than the
braying of a jackass, and will command
just as much respect and no more
But howl on if you like. Let the CALLED
jade vince, etc. It's fun for the boys

"MR. CLEVELAND" says the Gin
cinnati Commercially Gazette, speaking
of his late New York speech, made a
good, old-fashioned democratic speech,
which meant nothing more than his re-
nomination in 1922 That is what
every one is saying, and will say every
time the ex-president opens his mouth
in public. 1t is all bosh. He may or
may not be candidate. but it is strain
ing things nightly to infer his candi-
dacy from the fact that he agrees to
accept banquet from his friends and
admirers. What else could he do?
Governor Hill was present and spoke.
Why not say that that tact insures his
candidacy? His is a far more probable
case than Mr.. CleVeland's.

II there be one thing more disgust
ing than another, it is IT, see an editor
who has been guilty of an unprovoked
and brutal personal attack on another
of the craft, skulk away into obscurity
and hiding when called to account, and
the real animus of the attack made ap-
parent. We stated plainly
yesterday the cause of Eskridge's
diatribe against The NEWS and its ed
itor. The motive was fostering, corro-
ding sel6shness. He does not deny it
to-day. The facts are dead against
him, consequently he dare not. He
was tainted and baited yesterday as a
hypocrite and political lshmaelite.
He takes it all. His jealous watchful-
ness over party interest was shown to
be pretense and mockery. He does
not deny that. Instead, he pokes out
his head long enough to screech out
you're fish worm without back
bone and then relapses into silence
and obscurity. That's bravery, that
is! Courage of the sort we suppose,
that characterized his valorous efforts
in behalf of the union during the late
unpleasantness. 1t is the courage of

But the llamas one sees in Bolivia,

are as much unlike the animals shown

Their bodies are covered with a soft,
thick gray wool like that of the merino
sheep, their giraffe-like necks are
proudly and gracefully curved, their
eyes are large, lustrous, intelligent,
and have an expression of constant in

Their ears are shapely, and culver
continually like those of a high-mettled
stallion, as if to catch the first sound
of approaching danger.

A drop of this saliva falling in the

will instantly produce a most painful

If there be any truth in the special
report in yesterdays st. Louis Repub-
lie from Fort Smith concerning the
speech made there on Memorial day by
Harrison Kelly, in which he called Ar
kansas "a disreputable state, where
men were assassinated for being loyal,
etc )" he was guilty of more
than breach of decOrum and
of the laws of hospitality
as well as of the proprieties of the
occasion. 1t is possible that he was
provoked or irritated by some exciting
cause, but in that case-if there were
such-it would have more manly to
forbear. But IN the report sent out
nothing is said of an exciting cause:
the Outburst seems to have been spon
taneOus. He was preceded by the
Hon. ThOs. ii. Barnes, of Fort
Smith, a republican, and the orator of
the day, whose speech was suited to
the occasion, was patriotic and highly
acceptable to all parties. The citizens
committee, composed of democrats and
republicans alike, condemned Mr..
Kelly's speech while they endorsed and
applauded Barnes speech. MIR. Kelly's
side has yet to be heard, and until then.
1t Is only proper to suspend judgment.
But he seems to have made mistake.

CARNEGIE Is no worse than the
rest of his political brother msnufac-
turers. He makes reductions in the
wages of his men now and than, shuts
down a furnace here and there. and
declares a lock out whenever his pro-
fits are not swelling high enough. In
this, he is no worse than the rest of the
gang. They are all alike. They ali
look out for their own interest. That
is perfectly natural. Everybody does
the same. People of this world are
built on the selfish plan. Why there
fore should a Kansas editor seek to ex-
cuse the tariff by damnfng Carnegie's
penuriousness in cutting down wages.
and saying that the tariff is not respon-
sible for it? Yet that is what Sol Mil
er does. What nonsense. He is mad be-
cause Carnegie does not divide his pro-
hts under protection more generously
with his men. What law compels
him to do so. Protection enables him
to, of course, but it is certain he does
not. His industry is one of the 'sin-
fant" sort that needs all the pecuniary
support 1t can get. Why should he
divide with anybody? Clearly, the
idea is preposterous. Besides, there
is Alabama cutting into his profits.

Wages and not his profits must stand
the reduction. II the men don't like
it they are free to- quit. No Law eompels
them to accept the wages offered. That
Is why this country is known as the
land of the free. The dea that the
tariff is protection to wages is nicely
borne out by such proceedings, isn't
it? Sol MiIler's Indignation against
Carnegie is burning proof that the
Scotchman's employees get no more
protection from the tariff than his gen.
erosity prompts him to allow, which of
is nothing.
