SOMETHING MORE INTER EsTING TO
CONSIDER.
GAFFSEY, Oct 16.-Monday being the
day set for the Alliance of this part OF
the county to sell cotton, was a day
long to be remembered here, as one Of
unusual crowd and hustle. Early in the
morning the wagons began to roll IN,
and by noon the square was packed.
Up to that time no satisfactory arrange
ment had been made, and it seemed
that it was likely that no sale would be
made, but Carroll & Stacy finally took
the lot at 9.s5, and from thattime until
nine o'clock at night there was rush
of weighing and grading. About 260
bales were disposed Of, although some
was stored, and the whole amount on
the market probably reached three
hundred bales, two-thirds Of which
was covered with cotton.

GREER's, S. c., 16.-This has been a
grand gala day for Greer's. From early
morn till night the Farmers Alliance
began to Set her roll'' and she did roll
until 400 bales of cotton in solid phalanN
dressed in Alliance uniform and old
jute pulled into the public square to
await the arrival of the 2.20 p. IN. train
aud Mr.. Sims from Greenville to class
ify the Alliance cotton before any was
sold. Bids before he arrived ranged
from 90 to $50, but no go. Mr.. Sims
came. Every man sampled his cotton
and carried it up to the Masonic hall
where it was classed in bulk, with
each mans name on his sample, and
, the buyers invited in one by one to
bid on the different grades. The high
est average bid was $50, which was
promptly declined by The cotton COM
mitsee, and regular stampede OF
wagons ensued, moving in every di-
rection until POO to 250 bales rolled out
of town to be held for ten cents. After
tho adjournment 100 tc $50 bales were
sold at 6.65 to 81 or dumped on the. old
field. Thus ended the greatest cotton

Agent Spartanburg County Alliance"
ssWhereas we, the members of the
Farmers Alliance, representing two
hundred and thirty-four bales of cotton,
which was properly graded by an eX-
perienced member of the Alliance long
in the business, and offered for sale in
the Spartanburg market yesterday and
to-day, firmly believing from all we
can learn and from all indications that
there Is deliberate attempt among the
cotton buyers and cotton mills to
cripple our orders and to defeat our CO.
operative plan of grading and selling
cotton,
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
take our cotton off the market and sell
in some other market, and recommend
that members of the Alliance hereafter,
as far as possible, keep their cotton
away from the Spartanburg market"

secure h HOME IN THE LAND Of FLDNRs
DlNSMORE!

One Of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on both sides of
savan ah, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful horti.
cultural and truck growing section
of the State. DinsmOre can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and a half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isola-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu-
lar payments on valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense Or money act
ually thrown away. 1t is an in
vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, SOS, $50, $35. Sec
ond choice, $25 $1S. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, SIS. 1t must be remember.
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj tcent to
Dinsmore, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at S. acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State OF
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
o Truck farming around Dinsmore
would be at the door of two of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There art
eight passenger trains per day and
the round trip will only cost TWEEN
ty-five cents. Trout creek, a large
streamt passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. 1t is the very best chance
you will have to secure good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying good trade and the
own is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
! desire work can get from a dollar
and a half to two dollars per day

A Foundry and Machine Shop Ur.
gently Needed I'm Tallahassee.

Among many small industries none are so
much needed and few would prove more profit
able in Tallahassee than machine shop and
foundry
Look at the number of labor saving farm i'm
plements and machines being introduced by our
wide-awake planters. What are they to do in
case OF the accidental breaking of some small
but important attachment to these machines
Why, as it is now, they have to send to the
factory to have damages repaired Some small
casting breaks-the machine has to be stopped
until the farmer sends North to have another
cast Steam engines, boilers cotton gins, saw
mills and various other machinery in daily use
must of necessity get ont of repair occasionally
and it is important that they should be quickly

are becoming popular; iron fencing sells we'll

machine shop are in daily demand in Tallahas.
see and neighboring towns Where do we get
them? Send North for them This will not
DO. All the money spent for these things can
be kept at home and 90 into the pockets of home
mechanics.
Don't you see what fine opening there is
here in Tallahassee for such an industry? Then
why should we longer go without one?
We have here skilled mechanics who are
working for small daily wages. Some of them
have been economical and have saved money
They are the ones TO start the industry.
Suppose good machnst, moulder an ex.
pert pattern maker-all citizens of Tallahassee
pool their savings and start this industry. In the
beginning they can do al the work themselves
on small and economical schedule, having no
big weekly pay roll to settle and putting all the
profits of the business into their individual
pockets. Don't you know that they would make
double present earnings? They certainly could
And then the business would be of steady
growth as the country becomes more thickly set
tied, and ere long they could give steady en-
ployment to number of mechanics.
We know good machinist, a good pattern
maker and good moulder right here in Talla-
hassee, who have sufficient capital cf their own
to start this industry. They are working now
at small wages and are working hard. They are
skilled mechanics and can do work equal to that
turned out by Northern factories. They are just
the men 10 start this industry and ifthey do not act
upon this suggestion they will in the future regret
it. They would at first have to work hard and put
in more solid hours of labor than they do now
as employees, but The returns would be larger in
proportion, and in a few years they would be
independent-and capitalists.
We hope our mechanic friends will give this
suggestion thorough investigation. We have
heard farmers and mill men com plain of the
trouble and annoyance they have in repairing
slight damages, and the FLoRIDIAN itself has
had to send North to have little repairs done to
presses and engine that in the course of the
year amount to many dollars. We know the
industry would pay, and we want to see it
started by home mechanics.

Chicago Capital to Make Things
Hum i'm and around Tallahassee

The Newport correspondent of the Wakula
Times has the following to say of the recent
sale of the Newport Sulphur Springs property
to Mr.. Charles G. Wicker and associates The
old city of Newport, which in years past ranked
places in this State, is again to rise, Phoenix like
and take its position as one of the principal
watering places in the Land of Flowers.
Chas. G. Wicker & Co., of Chicago. Ill.,, have
purchased from the Ladd Bros, OF this place,
several thousand acres of fine farming and tim
bered lands, including the famous Sulphur
Springs, whose curative powers are so we'll
known throughout this State.
Mr.. Wicker and his company have arranged
10 purchase an interest in the Leon Hotel at
Tallahassee and in connection with that popular
house will erect $50 900 hotel at the springs at
Newport.
The aim of this wealthy company from the
Western Metropolis, is to run branch road
from the st. Marks road direct to the springs, so
that the people of Middle Florida and South
Georgia, can have, as of old, the benefit of these
celebrated waters and receive frst-class accom-
mediation during the summer months; while
during the fall and winter the doors of this costly
structure will be thrown open to Northern and
Western tourists, who are in search of health
comfort and sport, and no spot in the Land of
Flowers can excel Eastern Wakulla in furnishing
these. Those who have visited our town the past
few summers can hardly believe that in years
past our population numbered something over
1900, with dozen frst-class stores, several
1,.-
dry, two hotels, churches, Masonic lodge, livery
stable, turpentine distllery. and everything that
brains and wealth could produce; besides this.
all the mercantile supplies for Middle Florida
and Savannah, Ca, were landed per boat at St.
Marks or Newport. This information is given
the writer by old and reliable citizens who knew
all about this place when in full bloom, and it
must indeed be pleasure for them to know that
the old dead city is again to bloom forth and
shine in great splendor.

instance OF mistaken identity has Just come
to light here. On the 20.h OF last month
John NJ. Payne, Cincinnati detective,
swore out warrant for the arrest OF w.

having defrauded life insurance compa.

his bail WAS nxed at $4,000, and st the re-.
quest OF the detective bis examination
was deferred for two weeks, In
order that additional evidence might
be secured from the East. He could not
give bonds, and was placed in Jail, where
he has been ever since, until to-day, when
he was released. Hedden was taken for
Bryant Crandall, who, in 1886. lived In
Buffalo, N. Y and had an insurance on
his life for Sl4, 600. He went west In April
OF that year. and 1t was reported he had
committed suicide. The facts concerning
the alleged suicide weie so we'll established
that the insurance companies paid the full
amount OF his insurance money to the sup

heard that Crandal! was here, aud coming
to this city, went into partnership with the
suspect. Alter carefully studying his
partner, he became convinced me had the
right man, and swore out n warrant tor his
arrest. Hedden has finally succeeded in
proving his innocence beyond ull doubt.
