One of the most imperative
needs of Shelton at the present
] time is more industries. All the
people now here find plenty of
employment, but in order to in
duce the workmen to come here
and build homes, we must induce
capitalists and factory men to cs-
tabiish industries here, to provide
employment. Good inducements
ARE offered for any industry, and
thest6nditions are favorable for the
Profitable operation Of almost any
Industry that could be named. To
stars the ball rolling let lis inaug-
urate something more than we now
have, among ourselves, a shingle
mill and sash and door factory, for
sins4ahce. There is no good reason
why with the abundant good cedar
Stiinber that we have, all our shing-
] les, sash and doors, mouldings and
finishing lumber could not be man
ufactnred here. Suppose surplus
is produced, over what we can use
here; think what a profitable field
is open to supply the building
toyus in our vicinity. Notice that
bar sawmill has supplied Olympia
with several hundred thousand feet
of lumber of all grades during the
past year. Where does most of
the Shingles, and all the sash, doors
and nouldings come from, that en- :
fers into the constitution of Shell
tons houses at present.. Suffice it
t0say they are not manufactured
hon, but they should be. Make a
startsand the following comes cas-
lily enough. Who will Join and
sstat single mill, and sash and
sash and door factory? Who will
a brickyard, to furnish the
nerial for brick buildings, CHM
hs and ovens! Anything in the
fnfacturing line, will receive
snbstantial bonus to locate here,
bAt local enterprise can demon
strife the value of this point by
eASaging in one or more enter
prises that give employment. We
want no "boom," as such things
&c. but desire to grow as fast as
posi- BILE, and lose no vantage point.

cutting channel equal to canal
16 miles long, 40 feet wide and Z
feet deep, from Yellow creek, flow
ing to the Tennessee river, to the
head waters of the Tombigbee near
Jacinto, in Alcorn county, Miss, we
have direct and speedy outlet for
the wild Tennessee and the roaring
Ohio, down the Tombigbee, through
Mobile bay to the gulf.
All engineers and surveyors know
that it is this enormous volume of
water rushing in on sufficiently
full Mississippi at Cairo, which
proves too much for our artificial
protection all the way down. Less
en- the pressure here, and.the Missis-
sippi will then be able to work its
way safely to the sea.
At what cost can this be done?
At not one-tenth the money sacri-
feed by the present calamity.
The geological nature of the coun-
try for this proposed channel is per-
fectly adapted to the work, as the
soil there is principally sand and
gravel, while the only elevation to
be cut through is "sandy hill"
about 115 feet high. Looking at
the matter in calm, business-like
way this is natures own offer for
our relief. This channel made, the
Tombigbee at once becomes the Gen.
ter of traffic for the rich country
through which it flows.
But the people along its banks
may cry out, "No! we will be inun-
dated!" Not necessarily. The
Tombigbee can readily be made able
to accommodate those waters. and
not only will this river itself be
benefited, but Mobile thereby be-
comes deep water harbor. The
question now arises, who will do
this work? Can impoverished States?
Nol Can needy populace do 1T?
No! Will the federal government
now do the work, or will it continue
to let our people and land drift off
into deeper and more hopeless pow
erty at the recurrence of each spring
tide? Assuredly not. The present
calamity is national, not sectional;
our republic is national, not section
al; these great waterways are COM
mon property; North, East, South
and West have large interests in
their vicinage; hence this colossal
work requires the herculean strength

SOUTHERN LANDS.

SOUTHERN LANDS.
X FTER speaking of the rapid de-
IA velopment of manufactures in
the South and the ceaseless tide
of capital which is still flowing in, a
Chattanooga correspondent of Manu-
facturer's Record has this to to say
of the agricultural outlook:
Farming lands that year or two
ago could have been bought for from
five to fifteen dollars per acre, inn
proved farms with tolerably good
buildings, are now bringing from
fifteen to twenty-five, and there are
now hundreds of men from the New
England States who are seeking
these farms. On these lands can be
grown anything raised in the North,
and more of it. They can be titled
ten months in the year, and every
thing produced has ready market
here at home at prices considerably
in advance of what they have been
getting. An intelligent farmer from
the State of Vermont, in conversa-
ton with the writer said: "We are
not able to work over five or six
months in the year, and have to ex-
pend nearly all we make to live up
on the balance of the year, besides
suffering a good deal with the cold. !"
There is no place in upper Alabama,
Georgia, and Tennessee where wheat,
corn, and in fact all kinds of vege-
tables are not more prolific than
they are in any of the New England
States, and the same is true of fruits
of all kinds; and it is to this condi-
ton of affairs that these people
seem to have walked up. The class
OF men that are taking hold of this
matter are among the very best peo-
pie of the New England States.
There is not foot of land in this
territory but what is better adapted
to the requirements of the Anglo
Saxon race than can be found in
any of the Northern States, and the
next ten or twenty years will see
this section inhabited by the same
go-ahead, industrious class. of far.
mers that have labored and saved
in the Northern States for genera
tions. To say that these men will
succeed is beyond discussion. Ar

SPANISH PEANUT.

A DESIRABLE variety, early, .
IA fine bearer, growth perfectly
erect, not spreading on the
ground like the common kinds of
peanuts, and..therefore easily culti-
waited, the plow doing all the work.
Also, in harvesting, all the peas
hang to the root and can be rapidly
gathered. Planted in April they
ripen in August, and planted as late
as July 1st to 10th, will mature full
crops before frost. Therefore they
are useful to follow after oats. The
stems grow erect, are easily har-
vested for forage, making the rich
est quality of hay. The pea is
smaller than the Virginia peanut,
but very sweet, fills out well, makes
no pods. Can be planted close in
the row and in the drill, yielding
largely per acre. Splendid to fat
ten hogs and children. The vine
retains its greenness much longer
than other varieties, suggesting its
superiority for forage.
The present year six large wagon
loads were gathered from less than
one-quarter acre, supplying large
quantity Of forage, hard to excel in
nutritive and palatable value, all
stock eating it with great relish.

growing fat on the ground, fruiting

A FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
1t Benefited the City and We Want
Parnl m mi

1t Benefited the City and We Want
a Permanent Encampment.
The encampment is over aud the
results seem to indicate that it has
been a benefit to the people of the
city. The encampment being under
state control the city had no brilliant
programme to offer to the visitors,
but simply announced the holding of
the encampment in this city.
A great number of people came into
the city and spent their money quite
literally. The volume of hack bust
ness. the street Car traffic and almost
every kind of business increased.
The laundries were all crowded with
work, several of them being unable
to comply with the demand. A large
amount of this work came from the
soldier boys and large amount from
the visitors.
The restaurants, the boarding
houses and the hotels did very good
business. Said DR.. Trexler, of the
MahnCke: "There is no doubt but
that the encampment proved sue
cess. 1t brought many strangers into
the city and the hotel traffic, while
not coming up to the expectations, was
very good"
The reporter will confidentially
state that from the number of
"busted" soldier and other boys
whom he has seen at the end of the
week, the encaDpment most certain
ly has benefited the city, for the
sum of money that the 1900 visiting
soldiers have left behind them
amounted to quite little pile.
Mr.. r. w. Andrews, general pas
senger agent on the Arkansas, who is
undoubtedly in position tosknow,
had this to say upon the subject:
THE attendance at the encamp-
ment grounds would have been much
better If the street car facilities had
been better. AS it was, a great num-
Der of people were deferred from
going, knowing that they would have
to walk home from the depot at
night.
The travel on the road was good.
A great many visitors who came to
San Antonio took advantage of the
opportunity to visit Southwest Texas
The people of San Aantonio can
now see the actual necessity of pro-
viding plenty of transportation fol
the fair, as the attendance at thai
time will be much larger than it was
at the encampment."
