Two gentleman in Wilkes county were
discussing the all absorbing cotton ques-
ton, says the Atlanta Constitution, when
the first one said: 81 have about con-
cluded not to plant a seed of cotton this
year. The second said: "Well, am
glad to hear that. hear SO many men
say the same thing that I am going to
plant every acre of my land in cotton and
get 10 cents a pound for it next fall. "
The first man then said: swell, believe
1 will, too. This will be the year to
make big money on cotton" This is an
actual occurrence. The two men are
well known citizens of Wilkes county. 1t
is a fine illustration of the trend of the
farmers thought on raising cotton.

DR.. RExFoRD's SUCCESSOR.
A Portland Clergyman Called to Boston
Church.

Boston, ,4Aug. 12-The pulpit of the
First Universalist church, which was left
vacant last spring by the resignation of
Rev. DR.. Rexford, will soon be filed,
Rev. W. Hamilton of Pawtucket, RI,
having accepted call.
Rev. f. W. Hamilton is native of
Portland, Me. He was engaged in the
railroad business, his father being pres
ident of one of the roads in Maine, but
young Hamilton suddenly received an
idea that the ministry was more to his
liking, and he entered Tufts College with
that aim in view.
He was graduated with very high hon
ors five years ago, and at once entered his
first pastorate at the Universalist church
in Pawtucket where he has more than
met the expectations of his friends The
new church, which is in progress of erec-
tion, to replace the old edifce on Guild
row, is on Buena Vista avenue, off War
rem street. 1t will probably be dedicated
next month. The ediice has seating Ca
pacity Of 625, and chapel which can ac-
commodate zoo persons comfortably. Ad-
joining the chapel are two exquisite Ia
dies parlors. The interior of the church
is finely finished with red brick The
three large stained glass windows are
very elaborate affairs, and were put in by
Tiffany of New York. The whole struct-
ure will cost about S5 900.

abandoned. The sentries pacing their
beats with rifles reversed and the water
running in streams from gun barrels,
and army overcoats were about the only
men in sight, except during the occasion
al cessation of the dow npour, when some
of the boys ventured out on the sodden
grass. Once ball game was organized,
but the players soon found it resembled a
shower bath too closely to admit of much
enthusiasm. The tents, however, were
tight and dry, and the board floors kept
out ether moisture In the ground So in
doors there were many songs sung and
many stories told At one time, from a
tent came the sounds of the familiar old
song, 1T was from Aunt Nelly's Quilt
ing Party, sung by a score of youthful
voices. while in the next tent the choir
was chanting Nearer, My God to Thee. /"
Principal Musician Fagan OF the First
Regiment is ON hand and has begun his
work in earnest. He enlivened the morn

drummers, who gave good idea of the
amount of noise that can be made with
those old fashioned Instruments They
performed in the mess house of the band.

Mill Owners Pay Large Dividends.

Fall River, Aug 12 The full statement
of the dividend paid.by local mills last
quarter was issued today. It shows larger
earnings than those given out from other
sources few days ago. Thirty-six COR
porations operating ga mills andsrepresen-
ting a. capital stock of $21, 000, 200, paid
$532, S75 or 2 81 per cent for the quarter.
Included in this statement is dividend
of . per cent made by the Conanticut
mills. The average annual rate would
thus be 10. Ii perycent. Disbursements and
earnings OF the Fall River Iron Works
and Durfee corporations are not given to
the public and in both instances the loss
has been large. The Pocasset mill has
yetfto declare a a'dividend which will prob
ably be 2 per cent at least These divi-
dends by no means represent the phenom-
inal prosperity of the mills at the present
time. Nearly every corporation in town
has so far freed themselves from debt
that its paper has an AL rating in
financial circles. Progress is made in the
new mills or the additions to old ones
have been notable New record is beinS
made in the erection Of cotton mills.

CRISP CRITICISMS,
The English House of Commons Presents
Many Flaws to American Eyes.

London, August 12.-Hon. Charles
Crisp, ex-Speaker of the American House
of Representatives, Hon. Edwin E. Uhl,
American Assistant Secretary Of State,
and Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator
from MASSACHUSETTS,, were the guests this
evening at an entertainm ent by Speaker
Gully, at..his residence in Westminster
Palace. They received marked attention
from Mr. Balfour, Mr.. Chamberlain and
other prominent men who were present.
Mr. Crisp, informed the representatives
of the United Press that he had been
struck by the Numerous ceremonies IN
the procedure of the House of Commons
which, to him, appeared useless. He said
he noticed especially that no actual vote
was taken in the election of Speaker. He
understood of course, the election was
virtually by unanimous consent, Lut in
the United States the question is always
stated to the House in order that an OPP
portunity may be made for any dissenters
to express their views 1t seemed remark
ale that SO. great majority as the govern
ment had, should choose a member of the
minority for the presiding officer. Such
a course would never do Under the
American Constitution, where the
Speaker ssmust be a partisan, as ne is
clothed with great power in the ap-
pointment of committees, etc. Continu-
ing, Mr.. Crisp said that having the
Speakers residence in Parliament house
was useful here, but repugnant to the
American system. There were not one
third enough seats in the House of Com
mons for its members, and the seats and
desks in that American House were a
better arrangement.
Mr.. Crisp added that there was good
press gallery here, but he did not favor
ladies being placed in a cage behind the
Speakers desk.

GOLD WITHDRAWALS.
Fears That the Reserve Will Drop
Below the s1OO,OOO.OO Mark.
ARE STILL FAR
AHEAD OF RECEIPTS

Speculation as to What Means Will be En-
pIoyed by the Administration to Supply
Any Deficiency-A New Issue of Bonds
Already Discussed-Costly Effects of
Democratic Mismanagement.
.....Washington, Aug. IL. The drain upon
the gold reserve of the Treasury seemed
to have begun in earnest today, when the
officials were advised of the withdrawal
of 81, $50, 900 from the sub-treasury at New
York for export This condition of affairs
ocoasioned much speculation of the means
that the administration will employ to
maintain the gold reserve or replenish it
should it be probable the Withdrawals
would reduce it below 500, ,000,0 900. 1t
may be stated almost authoritatiyely that
as between another issue of bonds and
the calling of an extra session of Con-
gress the former will be resorted to.
Today IS Withdrawals were the largest
off any day since the contract with the
Belmont Morgan Syndicate went into
effect last February. They reduced the
gold in the Treasury to s1O1, 1902, 1868, or a
loss of more than $6, 600, 600 from the
highest point reached after the syndicate
made its final payments last month. The
department. officials are 10th to discuss
the effect on the Treasury of renewed gold
shipments or express an opinion as to
their probablye extent or when the ship
ments will cease or whether the bond syn
dictate will feel itself bound to replace
the gold With exchange at ST. 80, an ex-
ceedingly high figure, the opinion is gen.
orally expressed that the gold exports to
the extent Of $40, 000 COO or $50, 600 900 are
likely to occur before Oct /. The only
thing that is likely to reduce the rate of
exchange is the heavy shipments of
Americn cereals. Aside from the decline
in the gold reserve, the Treasury situa-
tion is regarded as encouraging, as re-
ceipts are gradually approxinating to the
expenditures. The excess Of expenditures
over the receipts the past two years
amounted to s167, 900, 900 for the month
and but the receipts are increasing Eand
the officials express hope that by Jan. 1st
they will equal the expenditures or nearly

Buying Up the AdirOndacks.

The vanderbilts, Who Are Not Sportsmen,
Buying Up the AdirOndacks.
It will soon be impossible for fellow
to 90 into the Adirondacks without a
permit from the Vanderbilts. That en-
terprising family seems bent on buying
up the entire region, to what end no one
seems to know. There is not a sports
man in the entire Vanderbilt family
mean the kind of sportsman that likes to
work for his game.
Cornelius, the eldest son, never pulled
a trigger in his life or got on top of a
horse. Willie K. can cast fly out OF
his parlor window and might be able to
kill pheasant if it sat very still. Fred
is a good fisherman, but doesn't shoot or
ride, and George is dilettante in books.
Of course there is great profit in Adj
rondack lands. They can be let out to
"parties" who do love to fish and shoot,
but there is also profit in suburban pro-
perty where the only game is goat or
yaller dog. Why should the Vanderbilts
go in for sporting property when they do
not sport?-Cholly Knickerbocker in New
York Recorder.
