Edited by Supt. Press Work
After thanking the president of the
Friendsvile w. c. T. U. and the re
spected editor of the Maryvillc TINES
for their suggestion, The superintend-
ent of press work of Maryville would
assign as a reason for not reporting
her union that she has acted upon the
Scripture text: "a prophet is not
without honor, save in his own coun-
try" and fearing a report If our
every day work would not be read
with as much interest by the general
public as news from other and far
distant fields, we have chosen the
latter, claiming that all work is our
work. Ifthe sisters of FnenthvllIe
take the state organ of the W. c. T.
u, the Obion Outlook, they will
find report from our union and
report from the Local Council of
Women, of which the w. c. I. u.
is most honorable part. You viii
see from our report that Maryville
W. {. T. U. is taking no backward
steps. This report will appear in the
Maryvllle TINES Of next week. Hope
to hear from Friendsville through the
Outlook.
We rejoice that these lines cannot
be applied to dear old Maryyille:
"We bear the name of christians,
His name and sign we bear;
Oh, shame, thrice shame upon US
To keep" such a traffic in our
midst,

To Harvest Cotton.
ELI wHITNEY's GRANDSON ELI IN
VENTS MACHINE TO DO THE
WORK OF 100 MEN.

Eli Whitney, of New Haven, grand
son of the famous inventor of the cotton
gin, has invented a machine which
may revolutionize cotton picking. No
means of gathering the product from
the plant has hitherto been discovered.
The Whitney harvester,as the machine
is called, resembles an ordinary grain
harvester. The mechanism is operated
by an endless chain attached to one OF
the rear wheels of the harvester. A
series of certical cylinders, suspended
from the bottom OF the wagon with
hooks and rolls attached, gathers the
cotton from the plant and drops the
pods into a basket as the harvester
drives over the field. By means OF
this machine two men and two horses
can harvest as much cotton as 100
workmen. Experiments already made
show that the amount of cotton har-
vested is about So per cent. of the
amount of the field. Mr.. Whitney
owns the factory in which his grand
father worked, near Lake Whitney
New Haven, and perfected his inven-
tion there. .--NeiO York Sun.

Delaware River Shoals

The denting of the hull of the Min
neapolis on the Petty Island shoals,
prior to her departure on her official
trial trip, has again drawn attention to
the impediments to navigation in the
Delaware River. 1t has been ten
years since Congress undertook the
work of dredging the channel of the
Delaware River to "A depth of 26 feet at
low water, and a width of 600 feet
from Philadelphia Harbor to the sea.
For several years the work has
ceased on account of the exhaustion
of the appropriation, but while the
work was in progress some of the
most serious channel distractions
were either entirely removed or greatly
abated. There still remains a large
amount of work to be done before the
channel is dredged to the depth and
width required by the Act of Congress.
An appropriation of 100000 was re-
Gently made to continue the work in
the Delaware, but it is estimated that
it will take from $1,O00,000 to $3,000,-
600 to complete il.
The points where the stream is nav
igable at low water to steamers of
heavy draught are Mifflin Bar, where
the channel is only twenty feet at
low water, Schooner Ledge above
Chester, where there is depth from
twenty-three to twenty.four feet;
Cherry Island fats, above the mouth
of the Christiana Creek at Whining
ton, where there is a depth of twenty
two to twenty-three feet; Dan Baker
Shoals, south of Reedy Island, in the
Bay, where there is a depth from
twenty-one to twenty-five feet; and
Duck Creek flats, opposite Bombay
Hook, where there is a depth OF
twenty-fOur feet. All these figures
represent the depth at low water.
The range of the tide in the Della
ware is feet, and vessels of heavy
draft have to wait for two tides tC
either come up or 20 down the river
on their arrival or departure. Delays
of this kind do not help the shipping
interests of Philadelphia to grow tC
any extent. Before the work of clear
ing the channel began by authority o
Congress, the depth of water at MiffliI
bar at low tide was only 19 feet, 81
that it was almost impassable at high
water to heavy-burden craft.
II the work Of dredging the channe
to the depth required by the Act o
Congress is ever completed, it will
even then be an insufficient depth O
channel all the way to the sea. In
stead of 26 feet, it is the general opin
ion that it should have been dug ou
to a depth of 80 feet at the shos
places. The MAXIMUM depth of tn
| - a ,k,,, Il =,
feet, and there are many places wher
the depth runs from 80 to 40 feet fo
long distances. The points name
above are now the chief impediment
to navigation. Bulkhead Shoals, nea
: New Castle. and Goose Island Ba
. near Fort Delaware, were formerly oil
structions in the channel, but thes
+ have been removed.-Ez.

The Kings Daughters.
how THE ORDER ORIGINATED-NOw
ONE OF THE BEST ORDERS IN THE
COUNTRY.

The ssterhOod known as the Kings
Daughters, which is doing a beautiful
work in this and other towns, visiting
the sick, relieving the distressed and
spreading sunshine in many homes
where the shadow of gaunt hunger per-
vades, has a beautiful history. 1t
originated in the brain of a noble wo-
man in her desire to relieve suffering
and soften the dying bed of fellOw-be-
ing Mrs. BOttome, the president of
the sisterhoOd, tells the story in her
owl way as follows.
II was crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
had met on deck some young fellows
that had been tramping through Swift
zerland, and learned they were from
some theological seminary. One morn
ing 1 was startled at hearing of the
death of one of these young men. He
had been i'll only a few days, and l
learned that through his sickness while
delirOus, he had constantly called for
his mother. As l paced the deck in
| the days that followed, and looked up
at the boat that swung day after day
with his body in it, if 1 had only been
| in a sisterhOOd wearing a badge that
/
ity, they might have asked me if l
would not like to see the young man
who called for his mother, for learned
that no woman had seen the youth
during his illness, and 1 pictured to
myself how glad the mother would
have been if l could have written to
her and told her l had seen her boy.
At that hour l wished for sisterhood
that should not be known by any dis.
tinct dress but by some kind of a
badge. I did not speak of this thought
to any one.
"a few months passed and DR.. Ed
ward Everett Hale called to see me on
business. As he was passing out he
said, Mrs. BottOme, l wonder you do
not found a sisterhood.' And the word
sisterhood took my thoughts back tC
the steamer. Not many days after
invited four friends of mine who had
been associated with me, and they came
to my home, and we decided each tC
invite some friend, a consecrated wo
man, and to meet the week following
and there would then be ten of us, anC
felt sure DIR. Hale would lend us his
idea of ten times one is ten.' WheI
l wrote to him about it he answered
you are welcome, Mrs. BottOme to an!
idea of mine that you can use.'
E "The lovely woman, Mrs. Theodor'
Irving, who suggested the name for tn
new sisterhood of service, The King
= Daughters has passed into the beauti
: full beyond.
81 was made president of that frs
? ten, not because l was better fitted t
i be president than some of the other
3 present, but simply because the form
3 ing of such a ten was my suggestion
] and later, as you know, the word ten
f was dropped and the word circle sub
r stituted. In all the circles there is
president, a secretary and treasurer

Bought at Foreclosure.
CONSOLIDATION OF BALTIMORE & EAST
ERN SHORE AND OTHER COMPANIES.

At noon Wednesday completed the
last link in the consolidation of the
properties Of the Baltimore & Eastern
Shore Railroad Co., Maryland Steam
boat Co., Choptank Steamboat Co. and
the Eastern Shore Steamboat Co., when
Henry P. Scott of the banking firm of
Elliott, johnson & Co., Wilmington,
Del, representing the purchasing syn
dictate, bought in at foreclosure sale
the Baltimore & Eastern Shore Rail-
road Company.
The price paid was the nominal one
fixed by order of the court in the de-
cree of sale, as the syndicate owned al
most the entire issue of the old out
standing bonds issued by the Railroad.
The new company which has been
incorporated under the laws of Mary
land to take over these properties is
known as the Baltimore, Chesapeake &
Atlantic Railway Company with capital
of s., 100000.
The properties now owned by this
company have practically controlled
the traffic of the Delaware, Maryland
Virginia peninsula along the Eastern
Shore of the Chesapeake bay to and
from Baltimore for many years past,
and the consolidation will permit their
more economical management as we'll
as give an improved service through
the advantage of sameness in owner
ship.
The boat lines extend along all the
important water ways of the eastern
shore of the Chesapeake bay and in
clude feet of Is high class steam
boats and over 112 wharf properties
The railroad extends from Claiborne,
Md, on the Chesapeake bay across the
fertile Peninsula to Ocean City on the
Atlantic Ocean, distance of about 80
miles.
The new company represents very
| powerful interests and not only keeps
in the management the services of the
! gentlemen who made the separate
lines successful but has Joined, with
them men we'll know in the business
world for ma rked executive ability as
well as great wealth.
The new board of directors include
John E. Searles, Brayton Ives, William
F. Havemever, Charles G. Pomeroy
Winthrop Nj. Tuttle, New York; Enoch
Pratt, N. P. Bond, Esq, Hon. j. Up
shur Dennis, Baltimore, Md; Henry
P. Scott, Thomas B. Smith, Captain
Willard Thomson, Wilmington, Del.
Carroll S. Tyson, Philadelphia, Pa; j
S. Kicker, Portland, Me.
This new traffic consolidation will be
of great advantage to the farmers anC
fruit growers OF our Peninsula, as with
the improved facilities better op
portunities are offered them to shiI
their product to the Baltimore market

For Cinder In the Eye,

A writer in the Medical Summary
notes that nine persons out of every
ten with a cinder or any foreign sub
stance in the eye will instantly begin
to rub the eye with one hand while
hunting for handkerchief with the
other. They may, and sometimes do,
remove the offending cinder, but more
frequently they rub until the eye be-
comes in1amed. bind a handkerchief
around the head and 60 to bed. This
is all wrong. The better way is not to
rub the eye with the cinder in it at all h,
but rub the other eye as vigorously as
you like. In proof the writer gives
the following personal experience:
"a few years since, was riding on
the engine of a fast express. The
engineer threw open the front window,
and l caught cinder that gave me
the most pain. began to rub the eye
with both hands. "Let your eye
alone and rub the other eye" said the
engineer. / thought he was chatting
me, and worked the harder. II know
you doctors think you know it all, but
if you will let that eye alone and rub
the other one the cinder will be out in
two minutes PERSISTED the engineer.
1 began to rub the other eye; soon /
felt the cinder down near the inner
canthus, and made ready to take IL
out. LET it alone, and keep at the
we'll eye,' shouted the engineer.
did so for a minute longer, and look
ing in a small glass he gave me found
the offender on my cheek. Since ther
1 have tried it many times, and have
advised many others, and have nevel
known it to fail in one instance, unless
it was as sharp as piece of steel ol
something that cut into the ball and
required an operation to remove it,"
