Probably one of the most essen
tial points in the establishment Of
OF waterworks, after the company
has been formed and the stock paid
up, is good supply of water. l
know thatsome cor porations do not
think as l do, and of course there
are always two sides to every ques-
ton. There are many places, most
ly cities, where water is not used.
Kansas Cityi Is one of the places
in question. The stockholders are
very nice men, but they do not'use
water. They pump up thick,
dark-yellowish substance from the
bed of the Kansas River, and use
it in the stead of water. This
is usually measured by the foot in
stead Of by the gallon. 1t is
very substantial, however, as l
have frequently saved the expense
of a square meal after eating a
square foot of this substance. But
l am partial to water, and would
recommend it as very essential to
the establishment of water works.

The Nashville Banner Says It's the Week.
y Press Rang the Work.


"It is encouraging to see the
weekly press of East Tennessee
using every effort to bring capital
and population to that section.
East Tennessee is rich in minerals
and capital can find a safe invest
ment there"
This extract from the Nashville
Banner shows what the weekly pa
pers in East Tennessee have been
doing. Those who have been read
ing the TIMES, know what has been
accomplished in Maryville since
its establishment. When the
TIMES was located in Maryville,
there were two woolen factories
which were not nearly SO large as
they are now, in buildings, machin-
cry and hands. Now the town has
in addition to these factories
nearly twice the population, one
hundred per cent. more business,
one wagon and buggy factory, two
! large planning mills wherein are
made sash, doors, blinds, frames,
furniture etc, one broom factory,
one machine shop, two burr mills
and one roller process Touring mill
which ships -four by the carload,
one brick factory, and garment
cutting school with a thousand stu
dents in the Maryviile district
An organization is being formed
for water works for the town. A
sufficient amount of capital will be
represented at the next meeting tC
entitle the stockholders to char.
er and proceed at once to build the
works. No town in the state has
such fine springs from which tt
draw. The natural advantages o.
Maryville are beyond computation
For health she has no peer in the
State. Her churches and schools
stand out as elements to commend
her to any people who love thu
great benefits of their civilizins
powers. Invitations are given tt
people who desire to engage in any
branch of business to come her,
and locate. Wood of all kinds il
plenty and cheap. Minerals ART
abundant and labor is cheap
Maryville is little city of nearl!
three thousand people. At leas
200 buildings have gone up in TIN
last three years and her people art
wide-awake, looking and working
for greater triumphs. To all wh'
wish good location in a healthfu
climate, or place to educate thei
children, here is he place to com,
as the town and county are no
cursed with a saloon.

Woman's Suffrage in the Senate.

"A movement toward woman's

few days ago. Senator Dawes intro
duced bill to remove the political
disabilities of Harriet III. Robinson
of Middlesex county, Mass, and to
declare her a citizen of the United
States with all the rights and pow
ers of citizenship, including the
privilege of voting and being voted

Extra Session of the Virginia Legis-
lature.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 25.-The
bourbon election machinery is not
as satisfactory in its late result as
the democrats would like it, and an
extra session of the legislature is to
meet in January next to devise
means to keep their majority up
above high water mark. Unless
something is done the republicans
will carry the state next fall de-
spite the usual frauds committed
against them, and hence larger
frauds are demanded.

Fourteen Prisoners Escape from
the Hamilton County jail.

CHATTANOOGA, December 25.-
Fourteen prisoners escaped from
the Hamilton county Jail at two
o'clock this morning by cutting off
six iron rods an inch in diameter
and sliding down a rope made of
blankets to the ground. Officers
have been searching the country
in all directions, but none of the
fugitives have been captured.

Senator Jones, of Arkansaw-
Powell Clayton, is the the cleanest
man in their party in our state.
He is bold outspoken aud daring,
but he is clean and straight. This
talk of taking a decent southern
man for the cabinet is not based
upon any good feeling for our Sec
tiOn or people. 1t is done to delude
sothern men into the republican
party. The republican leaders
think they can talk Independents
into their ranks by talk of fairness
and patronage. They think that
because these agricultural move
ments have shown some strength
there is dissatisfaction within the
democratic party.

Nashville Banner.-An Indianap-
oils special states that Gen. Harri-
son gave Mr.. Quay to understand
that the fact that Mr.. Wanna
maker, of Philadelphia, raised $500
600 or 100000 for the republican
campaign fund is not sufficient
claim for cabinet position. If this
statement be true Gen. Harrison is
to be commended, and if in his ap-
pointments to Office he will rebuke
the mercenary Doodle idea he will
set mastery precedentand do his
country great service. What we
need is to encourage the idea that
an election is an honest expression

Senator Colquit, of Georgia
There is one man in our state whose
name is mentioned for place in
the cabinet who is good citizen.
] mean Mr.. A. f. Buck, clerk of the
United States circuit court. He is
a moral man, good citizen, and is
identified with state and local in
terests. He is not a native of GeOr-
gia, but has lived there many years.
You understand, do not mean
that his appointment would be sat
isfactory to our people in political
sense. But l believe that Mr..
Bucks appointment to the cabinet
would be more satisfactory, or less
distastful, than that of any other
man of that partyin our state; and,
aside from pnlitics, our people
would not feel any apprehension
from him or his influence.

HE STRUCK 1T RICH.
How an EnterprIsing Bostonian Is Coin
Ing Money Out of silver and Coal Mine
in Bolivia.

How an Enterprising Bostonian Is Coin
Ing Money Out of Silver and Coal Mines
in Bolivia.
BosToN, Sept. 7.-Mr. Y. e. FALL Boston
lawyer has just returned from a trip to
Bolivia and he brings some interesting in
formation concerning the work that
has been accomplished there by w. H..
Christy, Boston man. About four years
ago Christy came into possession of the
Londres mine, which has since proved to be
one of the richest in the world. Some
thirty years ago it came into the possession
of English capitalists who made large
sums of money from it. The officers
of the English company, however, be-
gan to steal the ore and after a
time the stockholders refused to put up
money with which to continue the work.
Finally the English capitalists abandoned
it altogether. The mine became flooded so
badly that no one cared, to assume the risk
of the heavy outlay involved in clearing it
of water and for twenty years it lay idle.
Christy secured the mine by grant from
the Bolivian government and freed 1t from
water by means Of an underground tunnel,
after which he began digging.
The diggings comprise twenty five per
cent. Of copper and seventy-five per cent. Of
silver, the latter averaging from 200 to 3, 900
ounces per ton. Christy has also come into
possession OF lead mines and the only coal
mines in Bolivia. The coal that has been
heretofore used in Bolivia has been brought
from Chill and elsewhere, and sold to mer.
chants at S2O0 per ton. The development Of
Christys coal mine which appears to have
no limit as to quantity, will bring much
needed relief, as this coal can be sold at $50
per ton with handsome profit Already
there are 500 miners at work in the coal and
fad mines.

TIE OLD Loo COLLEGE

Tents were erected on the Ten
nent farm, the site of the
old Log college and an immense
crowd from Philadelphia and
surrounding country, besides prominent
Presbyterian divines of national repu-
tation are present The celebration,
which is under the auspices of the pres
bytery of Philadelphia, North, while
commemorating the foundation of the
Log College by VIM. Tennent, in 1926, is
really commemorative of the foundation
of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States, and it may also be said
that Princeton College sprung from
the primitive institution. A long pro-
gramme of exercises was opened at 11:2O
a. IN. by the reading of Scripture by
Rev. Joseph Beggs, DID,, of the Falls of
Schuyll1ill, Philadelphia, which was
followed by a prayer from Rev. l.. W..
Eckard, of Abingdon, Pa. President
Harrison delivered an address, and sew
eral interesting papers were read. Gov
ernors Beaver and Green, EX-President
McCosh, of Princeton, and other distin-
guished educators, were present and de-
livered short addresses.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
The Cabinet Reaches the Unani-
nous Conclusion
That tho Country Docs Not Nocd Congress
Before December.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The result Of
the Cabinet meeting Saturday was de-
cislon not to call an extra session.
This conclusion was reached after
long consultation, in which 1T is
understood Secretaries Window and
Tracy were the opponents of the propo-
sition against the President and Messrs.
Wanamaker, Proctor, Noble, and Miller.
Secretary Blaine, although absent, was
not in favor of called session,
and the argument which finally
won the Cabinet over to an
agreement was to the effect that the
time gained preceding the regular ses-
sion would be so short that nothing of
benefit to the country could be accom-
plished within that period. An extra
session could not be convened until after
the election in the new States, and while
that will occur on the 1st of October, as
prescribed by law, the result could not
be known perhaps for weeks in some of
the districts where communication is
difficult and the population thinly dis
tributed. Thereason advanced for an extra
session was the Importance of organizing
the House in time to make early legis-
lation possible on tax reduction and
other matters calling for immediate
Congressional action. After the agree
ment became generally known there
was an almost unanimous expression of
opinion that the Cabinet had concluded
wisely, although every one in Washing
ton would have welcomed the early
gathering as blessing, viewed from
either political or business standpoint.

Shot Down in Mississippi-Two Others Go
Crazy From Excitement.
New YORK, Sept. IA special to the
Herald from Greenwood, Miss, says:
Twenty-Five negroes and possibly more,
who were working on cotton plantations
on Monday morning, rest beneath the
sod in LIE Flore County tonight, riddled
with bullets. The names of those killed,
so far as ascertained, are John Bayker,
Dal Wharton, Monroe Jones, Scott
Marsh, Warren Smell, Theyton Lock,
Ben Lock, and Warren Beckworth.
They were killed for resisting arrest.
One was killed on Monday or Tuesday
and the others yesterday and to-day.
The leaders of the insurection, Jos.
Allen and Oliver Cromwell, have
both escaped, though it is thought
that Allen was captured last evening.
Cromwell was caught in Jackson yester-
day, but for some reason was turned
loose. The negroes are in frightful
state of fear, and two have gone crazy
over the excitement. The negroes have
threatened to burn every house in LIE
Flore County, and every house is being
closely guarded. ID. ID. Jameisons store
and house were burned on Tuesday night
because he refused to sell the negroes
cartridges. His loss was S10 Oo0 More
than 1000 laborers have quit the fields,
and the cotton and corn needs gathering

GREENWOOD, Miss, Sept 5.-Thc
sheriff of this county returned from
Mintor City, the seat of war, last even
ing, and reports every thing quiet up
there Faur of the ring-leaders, named
Adolph Horton, Scott Morris, M. j..
Dial and Jack Dial were killed. A party
while, passing through the plan
tation of G A. Lownes, came upon
Adolph Ho, eon and Jack Dial, and they
were commanded to surrender. Withous
regarding the command of the officers,
they drew their pistols and started to
run, when they were shot down. These
two were very desperate and mischiev-
Gus, and had been the principal aiders of
Cromwell and Thomas in arousing the me-
groes of this county. The other leaders
were killed this morning while resisting
arrest. Thomas, Allen and Cromwell,
the moving spirits of the insurrection,
have not been arrested, but the whites
and the better class of negroes are de-
termined to bring them to justice.
Cromwell is an ex-convict, and one of
the principal instigators of the riot. His
whereabouts at present are unknown,
but there are about seventy-fve or a
hundred men searching the woods for
Allen and his accomplices, of whom
there are about eight.

Three Hundred Persons Killed Outright
and One Thousand wounded by n Dyna-
mito Explosion-Most of the Victims Fac
tory Girls and Women.
ANTWERP, Sept 7.--Dynamite ex-
ploded yesterday in cartridge factory in
the vicinity of the Bourse, killing many
persons and doing much damage to prop
erty. Portions of the Bourse were struck
by burning fragments and set on fire,
causing panic In that building. which
at the time was crowded. The cartridge
factory was situated behind the docks,
upon which millions of cartridges were
being loaded. 1t was adjacent to the
petroleum stores; two large Russian pc
troloum warehouses were set on fire and
are now burning. Other stores are en-
dangered. Police, gendarmes and troops
are assisting in the work of eXtinguish-
ing the flames, while priests and sisters
of charity are looking after the injured.
The city is enveloped in dense smoke.
The damage to property will reach many
millions. The fire is still burning fierce
ly, and the best the firemen hope for is to
extinguishit in twenty-four hours. The
heat from the burning masses of petro-
leum is intense, and it is impossible
to approach within o hundred yards.
Several vessels have been burned at
their docks and others were only
saved through the promptest action
of their officers in towning them out of
danger. The fire is not now spreading,
and it is hoped, if the wind does not
rise during the night, that the flames
can be confined to the present limits.
The explosion occurred in workshop
where large number of old cartridges
were being taken to pieces. Many men
and women were employed in this shop,
and they were actively engaged in
breaking up the old cartridges. There
were fully 35,OOO,oOO of these in and
about the premises, part of them
already broken. The flames covered
two acres of ground and rise to an i'm
mense height. Amid tho fierce roar of
the flames are heard from time to time
the loud reports of explosions, to which
there seems to be no end.
These explosions are supposed to be of
packages of cartridges stored in the
buildings, which seem to remain intact
until the hot tongues of fame are ac-
tually upon them. AT midnight the low
est estimate is that there are 800 dead
and 1,O00 injured. The explosions con-
tinue. At the American docks all the
ships have been saved, owing to the fa-
vorable direction of the wind. The VIC
tins are mostly factory girls. Windows
three miles distant were shattered by
the explosion

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Sept. 5.-Frank
Havens, aged thirty-eight years, dropped
dead last evening. A post-mortem ex-
animation disclosed an abnormal ar
rangement of the vital organs. The
heart was on the right side, the apex
lying against the second rib. A large
coagula, amounting to about two quarts
of blood, surrounded the heart. The
liver was on the left side of the abdo-
men, and the stomach on the right The
lungs were only one-third the normal
size and were pressed upward. How the
man could have lived any length of time
after birth seems mystery to surgeons.
