Atlanta. Ga, Sept. 16.-cotton rates are
to be cut "A cents a hundred pounds to all
South Atlantic and gulf ports. This has
been ordered by the Southern States
Freight Association to meet the Sen
boards cut from Atlanta to Norfolk. The
rate from here to Charleston and Savan-
nah win be 20 cents per hundred at the
shipslde, the arbitrary of cents for de-
livery being dispensed with. This cut
means seventy cents bale or 100000 loss
on every one million bales handled by the
roads in this territory.
Judge speer's injunction only restraIns
the roads from cutting rates from tile
east to Atlanta, and leaves the roads to
fight over business north and south from
here. The rate situation is badly demor-
allied in this territory. The old rates

WATSON SPEAKS Ar LINCOLN.
EuIOgizes Bryan md Makes no Ref
erence 10 SeNYnII

Lincoln, Neb., Sept, 16-The Lansing
theater was crowded to the doors this ar
ternoon the occasion being Hon. Thomas
e. Watson's address on the issues of the
campaign. Mr.. Watson's speech was
defense of the populist national platform,
and In no sense did the vice presidential
candidate refer to Mr.. Sewall or to the
recent election in Maine. Quoting from a
recent speech OF Mai. McKlnley's he en-
deavored to show the Inconsistency of pro-
lection and gold standard finance, con-
tending that, whereas, a high tariff would
raise prices of commodities, the apprecia-
tion of money under gold monometallism
would depress them. Mr.. Watson warmly
eulogized Mr.. Bryan, and was particu-
larly emphatic In declaring that under no
circumstances would he withdraw from
the race.
Mr.. Watsons address was surprisingly
free from personal reference or abuse
though he was pressed by his more par
tisan auditors to enter that line OF attack
He left tonight for Alma, Neb., where
he speaks tomorrow, and win go from

The st. Louis Convention.

Unless all signs fail Gov. Mckinley
of Ohio will be nominated at the re-
publican national convention next
week. This will probably be done
on the first ballot, though it does not
look at this writing as if the noml-
nation would be by reclamation,
The friends of Mr.. Reed and the sup
porters of ex-President Harrison will
be on hand in large numbers and will
probably stand by their leader as
long as there is any prospect of a
break in the Mckinley ranks.
There is a prospect OF lively time
in nominating a vice president. At
least twenty good republicans have
been named" including our own
Senator Proctor. The Mckinley
managers want Reed to take this
place, but he is not at all inclined to
be the tail to the Mckinley kite. 1t
will probably be an Eastern man
either from New York or New Eng
land.
There are many republicans al
over the United States who are still
hoping that dark horse will VIII

happen at national conventions anC
the st. Louis convention may finally
choose a standard bearer who's,

There are so many cases of contested
delegations to be decided by the ma
tional committee that it will be sew

nominated, but we hope to give hi

ever he may be, whether Major Mo

can, we shall heartily support hlr

Stand BY Gen. Circuit.

We believe that the Caledonia
county delegates will be found loyal
to Gen. Grout at the district cOnven-
ton next week even if some other as
pirants are after his place. The dis
trict cannot afford to lose his services
at this time. The whole matter has
been so well covered by the Brattle
boro Phoenix that we commend this
article to the careful attention OF our
readers:
Within the past few days it has become
known that an active still hunt move
ment is on foot to defeat the renomina-
ton OF Gen. Grout for congress in the dis
trict convention and to give the place to
some other asprant, AS matter OF
course the prospective success OF this
movement is largely conditioned on the
probable success OF the Stickney guberna-
torial canvass in the state convention on
the following day
About this movement Just one thing is
to be said Gen. Grout has done long
and faithful and able service for the PEG
pie of this district. He has given to then
the best that he had to give, and, despite
all assertions to the contrary, he has &C
CURED high standing at the nationalcap
ital and commands the confidence anC
respect of his colleagues. Whenever Gen
Grout is displaced after making such
record he is entitled to have it done, ant
the people of the district are entitled t.
have it done, in a fair and open manner
There is no other honorable course.
No friend of Gen. Grout feels or wi
claim, and he will not claim for himsel
that he has perpetual mortgage on tn
Office which he holds. But his service !
that office has been such that it would +
unjust and unfair for the district to alloy
him to be summary turned down by

Hints For Amateur Photographers


To prevent chemicals running down
the side of the bottle when pouring, coat
the rim Of the bottle with parafine wax
by dipping the mouth of the bottle in the
melted wax.
All trays must be washed after using.
The decomposition of chemicals in an I'M
washed tray will often spoil fresh sou-
tions if put into the tray. Never leave
solutions standing in trays; when
through using turn the solution into a
glass bottle. When not in use trays
should be turned upside down on shelf
or table.
Developing solutions should be filtered
between each using. Bits of film often
come off the plate, and if left in the devel-
oper will settle on the plate and cause
spot on the negative. The better way is
to filter solution alter using and before
returning it to the bottle.
To ensure perfectly clear negatives al
ways use clean hypo. Hypo which has
been used several times becomes a dark
muddy color, and is apt to stain the neg
ative. Hypo is so cheap that one car
afford to use fresh, and run no risk o
spelling negatives.
In placing plates in the holders, insteat
of using brush for busting, take piec'
OF surgeons cotton, roll it into sol
ball, and rub lightly over the plate. Thi
will remove the specks of dust, and vii
not scratch the plate.
1t often happens when travelling tina
a dark room is not always to be toun
in which to change plates in the holders
The provident amateur carries a candl
with him, and when no DARK room
convenient he lights the candle, sets
under a table, and changes the plates o
the table. This can be done with pertec
safety it care is taken that no retiecte
light strikes the plates. The plates beinn
in the shadow, and the light from II
candle being rather dim, the plates al

He, who doesn't advertise, because he

advertising doesn't pay.
Some advertising doesn't pay.
Some lines of business don't pay.
1t is as absurd for the merchant not to
advertise because some advertising

refuse to do business because half the
business men fail,
Ninety.nine per cent. OF all business
men who succeed began to advertise
when their business began, continued to
