that the poor man or wage worker will

small stockholders in corporations

from the tax, but their corporations
will have to pay it. and each share Of

However. the law is on the statute
books and there is nothing to do but to
obey it. The time is coming when it
will be repealed. The Democratic tariff
policy, which was to cut down the reve-
nues from custom duties below the
needs OF the government, made it q
necessity. When Republican law pro-
viding for the needs OF the treasury is
enacted, it will be repealed, jus, as the
Republican income tax made necessary
by the rebellion was repealed when
the necessity for it was over.

COTTON MILLS FOF THE SOUTH.
Further Views of Manufacturers to the
Proposed Removal.

BOSTON, MASS, Jan. f2.-Regarding
the removal OF cotton mills TO the South
Mr., r. Jefferson Coolidge, treasurer of
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company,
says:
This southern movement Is perfectly
natural Labor at the South Is q great
deal lower than I'm the North. The mills
are nearer the cotton fields and theice Is
a great saving in freight rates: Again,
southern roads take cotton as nfth class
while northern roads take IL as second
and third class, making big difference.
Then. there Is a great difference in fuei.
Labor, however. Is the great saving, pc
cause operatives work more hours FOR
less wages and il Is claimed a saving of
two cents per pound can be made. The
product of the southern mills IL sent
mostly TO Chicago and st. Louis.
Il think that sOL thern mills VIII IN
crease. We are hampered here by trade
unions. strikes and legislation, making IL
more difficult for us TO manufacture at
q profit unless the Legislature of Mas
suchusettS turns around and assists the
manufacturers Instead of doing all 1t
can TO iujure them, there will be a fur
ther loss OF business
Fine goods can be made cheaper I'm
the South as well as coarse goods. IL
Is claimed that southern operatives are
not as skilled as northern operatives,
and that IL takes too long to educate
them, but this Is false Southern opera
tives are just as good I'm every respect.
and II is only "a question of time when
fine goods will be made I'm the South.

Ludwig was employed IN the local office

Of the Georgia Midland and Atlantic rail-

Culf railroad. Then the tickets were
placed in the hands of the men under
arrest, who disposed Of a large number
through tho medium OF an agency at

CONVICTION OF IDOLATBRS.
They Had Killed a Beggar to Propitiate
the Evil sprint.

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 12.-The trial
has been concluded at Viatka, capital of
the government of the same name, of
eleven persons belonging TO the sect
known as Notiaks. They were accused
of human sacrifice in order TO propitiate
the wrath of their evil god, Kourbane.
The prisoners belong to the village of
Starai-Mouhana. several of them being
among the leading inhabitants. one OF
the prisoners was seventy years old.
According to the evidence furnished at
the trial, in March last, in order to pre-
vent. as they claimed, a recurrence of
famine, they inveigled a beggar into the
house of one of the prisoners, Moses Dimi-
trieff, where the beggaar's throat was cut.
The unfortunate man was afterwards be-
headed. and then his headless trunk was
hung up 10. the ceiling of Dimitrieffs
house. and five incisions were made in the
body. The blood from these incisions
was caught in dishes by the prisoners,
and the heart and lungs of the dead man
were extracted, in order TO be used in the
religious rites of the Notiaks. The body
was afterwards thrown into ditch by the
side of the highway. Three of the pris-
oners were acquitted, some OF them were
sentenced TO penal servitude for life, and
others were deposed to Siberia.

1885 when the panic was at its height
Ruth refused 10 send 10 the various
counties money at the time which
amounted TO 500 600. although the statute
is mandatory that II be sent June 18th
A tremendous protest arose throughout
the State. Ruth, who was in the East
wrote TO the State treasurer and also TO
the treasurer of Clay county but mixed
the envelopes. In the letter 10 Taylor.
which the county official received. he
said substantially: There seems to be

us 20 do Is 10 let them howl. We have
as great a use for the money az any one
and ! must have that $500. DO not az.
portion any money until my return.
He also wrote an impudent letter TO the
Governor. who demanded that he obey
the law. The sum referred to is believed

time, and an equal sum Is known TO have
been In the Taylor Bank. Finally, when
