MORTON POSTS TROUBLES
Grand Army Court Martial Will
Investigate Them Tonight.
Com ma n,ier Boston Has No Fears and
Insists That the Proceedings
Shall he Public.

The court-niartial of Post Comma ndef
George II Boston, of o. p. Morton Post,
g. A. r., because OF troubles with officers
of the Depa rtment OF the Potomac, wilitake
place tonight at headquarters.
The court martial was originally set for
September 70, nut ut thai time Comma nder
Boston was in Norfolk at Grand Army
reunion, and the trial was postponed until
tonight.
The charges against Boston, as prepa red
by Department Commander Ma rion J An
dersun, n re that the post commander violated
the laws governing the Grand Army when
Department Comma Eder Ma rion T Ander-
son and Assistant Inspector-General Will
lam Z. Saville visited Post Commander
BDstons post and the former demonstrated
with Boston for his conduct and were told
to do their worst.
The bone of contention that is believed
to have been the cause of q II the trouble late
IL experienced in Oliver p. Morton Post is
that the per capita tax due on July has not
been paid. This difficulty in the post re-
suited in very few members going to Louis
vile, only about eleven taking the trip. AS
this is not the first time the per capita tax
has not been paid promptly the department
has determined to investigate the matter.
Post Commander Boston is not the least
cast down by the overhanging clouds or
court martial. To Times reporter to-day
he said that he was ready for the fight
at is not the first time," said he, that
have been tried, and have no fears of the
result. / have never handled one cent of
the money. and will prove my innocence
when am arraigned. / have engaged Mr..
Dan Grosvener. of Post No. 8, and William
A. Cook. as my counsel. and they will ably
defend every charge that is brought up
against me.
"Mr Anderson wants the court-martial
held behind closed doors, but / will insist
on allowing every recognized member OF
the Grand Army to be present. 1t is mat
ter in which all are interested. and think
that they should be present to hear what
will be said"

CONVENTION OF i7s7.
Important Data Prepared by d

Important Data Prepared by DR..
Toner for an Historical Picture.
1t has been noted as remarkable fact
that amid the historic portraiture of the
country, which in a century of American
painting has covered so wide field, there
has never been an historic painting of the
Federal convention of 1887, which framed
the Constitution of the United States,
DR.. Joseph NJ. Toner. the well-known
editor of Washington's diaries, is now fur
nishing material for such a work, to be exc
cuted. life-size, by one of the artists
of the Corcoran Gallery. DR.. Toner SAYS:
Properly enough, the names and por-
traits of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence are known to nearly every
person. because they have been treated in
popular manner by artists and histo-
rians.
THE same, and even greater, respect is
due to the trainers of the Constitution.
The neglect of the personnel of the Consti-
tuition, as 1 apprehend, was accidental
rather than intentional, and is at least un-
deserved. An acceptable, picture of the
convention in session might. with great
prOprlety, be extensively used to the same
end as an obiect-lesson by the government
of the United States on its coins, medals,
greenbacks, letterheads, etc.
''Thc picture Will represent Washington,
the president of the constitutional conven-
ton, sitting in the council chamber at the
State House, In Philadelphia, under the
carved arms of the State OF Pennsylvania
upon high panel in the rear. Franklin,
man of eighty three, will occupy an arm
chair at the base. Judge James Wilson
will sit near Madison. Rufus King, Robert
Morris, Daniel Carroll of Maryland, the
Pinckneys, Luther Martin of Maryland,
Elbridge Gerry, George Mason, and others
will be pictured from original portraits.
1T is expected that the picture will
adorn either the Supreme Court room Of
the Capitol or some other prominent place
at the Capitol or the new nationallibrary."

DEATH OF w. II. SLACK.
Well-knOwn wnsiIiuEfOnian Expired
In New Jersey


The death of Mr.. William Hall Slack
of No. 1873 = street northwest, was

The Difficulty of Securing Safe and
Profitable Investment for Small
nIIal.

,'hc large number of people who are pos
eessed of moderate means or savings are
constantly experiencing the difficulty of
obtaining safe and profitable investment.
The investment that promises good re-
turns or fat dividends seems always TO he
for the capitalist. the already rich, the
influential in financial circles.
Take, for instance, the most profitable of
all current Investments, cotton nianufac-
turing.
Heretofore small investors have not
generally been able TO share in the large
profits made by cotton mills. Building
associations and savings banks have been
their only means of accUnlulating savings
BY this system, so successfully introduced
in the South, any one who can lay aside
even So per month can become Il stock
holder in Il cotton mill As funds accumu-
late under this system OF monthly pay
ments the contracts for the buildings and
the machinery can be let without waiting
FOR the final iBstallments to be paid in.
Before the stock is all paid up the mill can
lee IN operation.
Several years ago a few people at Char
lotte, y. c.. decided TO attempt to raise
capital for building a cotton mill on the
building association plan. The value of
such system as this can readily be seen.
ii enables the South to furnish the capital
for building its own cotton mills, rather
than wait on outside help. 1t stimulates
the saving of money and furnishes safe
and profitable investment for the small
sums that would otherwise be wasted, hut
which, aggregated in this shape
furnish capital for the construc-
ton of many mills. The first mill at
Charlotte started on this plan. with a
capital stock of 500, 900, proved ST.
profitable that other companies were or
ganized on the same basis, and it has now
become regular business, just as the or
ganization of building associations. Among
the successful mills for which capital was
raised on this plan re the A lpha Cotton Mills
of Charlotte, n. c.; the Chewalla Mills, of
Eufaula, Alabama; the Statesville Cot
ton Mills, of Statesville, N. c.; the
Ada Cotton Mills. of Charlotte, N. c.; the
Highland Park Gingham Mills, of Char
lotte, N. c.; the Gaffney Cotton Mills, of
Gaffney, S. c., and a number of others.
Every mill built on this plan has been re-
markably successful, having paid large
dividends to the stockholders. The most
conservative business men and capitalists of
the Carolinas strongly advocate this sys-
TEN as of the greatest value to the South.
And at last similar opportunity is Of
fered TO Washington investors. The New
port News Cotton Manufacturing Company
has been incorporated with a capital stock Of
100000, part of which will be shortly
Offered for rsubscriptiont in Washington. The
washiDgtonagc are T. o. Anderson Co.,
e07 g street northwest.

HISTORICAL RECORDS SOLD.
Val liable Virginia Documents Dis
posed of to a Junk Dealer.
lSpepiaI to The TimeS)

Richmond. Va. Oct. 3.-Much interest
has been aroused here over the reported
sale as junk of valuable literary works bs-
longing to the State.
Wien the State library was removed
from the capital building to the new State
library building, about twenty tons OF
old books and documents were leTt in
the old quarters, supposed to consist OF
legislative reports and worthless pamphlets
and records After advertising for one
week the committee sold the entire lot
10 a junk dealer for small price.
EN-Librarian PoindeNter says that in
the lot were documents covering the history
of the State that are invaluable and cannot
be duplicated. II is said that the junk
dealer has been offered a large sum for his
purchase by Northern man. He left the
city to-day, presumably in connection
with the negotiation.
1t is thought the Governor will take steps
to recover the valuable part of the records
sold.
