or two men who were scattered about
his place: 1T is mysterious thing to
me where the fascination Of the game
of pool comes in. There are men here
tonight who have been coming here
steadily every evening in the week, ex-
cept Sundays, for eight or ten years.
Some of them are old. some middle
aged and some young men. They arrive
with the regularity Of fate Immediate
ly after dinner, usually smoking a
big cigar, pull of their coats, and go
to work in leisurely manner to play
pool. Ofcourse they are good play
ers. They must be, after so much
practice. They poke the balls for a
hour or two. drink three or four
glasses Of beer, light another cigar,
and toddle off home perfectly content.

The Rarofn1 Factory.

We are grattiei to see that the Lau-
derdale County Alliance have taken
ground in favor of the establishment of
a bagg NJ factory at Meridian.
If the reported com bnation of capi-
talists to purchase all the jute in the
market is true, moth n but bagying
factories in the South will save the
farmers from another robber scheme
next fall. by which they will be forced
to pay II to IL cents per ard for bag
ging AS they were forced to do last
year. This would entail loss to the
farmers 1f $1,000, 600. and would cost
ten times the value of every bagglng
factory in the United States. If jute is
out of the question something must be
found to take its place.
We believe that pine straw is the best
substitute for jute that can be had and
as the material for its manufacture can
bc found i'll any quantity desired in tins

ment will be tried. 1t is not wholly IN

Final Session of the Baptist Association
Helping Seminary.
The session of the Pittsburg Baptist Associa.
ton yesterday morning was taken up with re-
ports showing progress in mission work. The
early part of the afternoon session was en-.
livened by a discussion between Rev. H. B.
Grose and Rev. 7. II. Chapman, the former ad.
vocating the enlargement of the Mission Board,
the latter fsvoring economy. The propositions
of Mr. Grose were laid upon the table. Finan-
cial reports indicating prosperity were sub
mitted. A resolution, prepared by DR.. William
Coldwell, pledging the support of the associa.
ton to the prohibition amendment was carried
with a great deal of enthusiasm. After
formally extending its sympathy TO the Johns
town sufferers, the convention adjourned for
the afternoon.
The evening session closed the work Of the
association. A resolution was adopted that
the association subscribe $4,000 toward the en-
dowment fund for the Mt. Pleasant Institute
The amount was to be raised by individual
subscriptions, and the work was commenced
Immediately. In an hour nearly 5000 had
been donated.
William Ashmore, D. D., Home Secretary of
of the Missionary Union, was introduced, and
gave an interesting address on the missionary
work in Asia. In connection with this subject
he spoke of China, the great power for whose
favor both Russia and England are bidding
China he said, has awaked from its slumber of
ages and will some day have reckoning with
the United States for the treatment given it's
subjects. DR.. Ashmore, while not favoring in
discriminate immigration. denounced the acts
of Congress with regard to excluding the
Chinese, and said that the United States would
have to pay for it. In conclusion, he outlined
missionary work in China and other countries
IN Asia, and advocated increased vigor in pur-
suing it.
