That Creamery.

Every paper you pick up you will
see a notice that creamery has been
established at such and such a place
and also some statement from an.
other place as to the benefits derived
from such an industry Now, why
is it that Phillips county can't have
creamery? There is milk enough
and cream enough to be had, and il
some OF the enterprising men would
only manifest a little interest, there
would soon flourish an industry that
would put money in the farmers
pocket also the groceryman's pocket
too. Phillips county is soon to wit
ness dearth of milk COWS, because
there are to many fattened and ship
ped out of the country. Every
farmer who sells his COWS is growing
poorer in purse Too often have the
COWS been fattened and shipped away
or'suId to the butcher because it did
not pay to milk them and sell the
butter for six, eight or ten cents a
pounds, and take the pay in trade
at some store, where they pay the
merchant two profits, the profit on
his goods and the profit on the butter
when he sells it. No groceryman
will sell his butter for the same price
as he gives for it when he buys il, SO
therefore he makes the two profits,
now il the milk or cream had been
sold and the farmer had received the
cash for it, he could of paid the cash
to the groceryman and the farmer
saved one profit and perhaps the
groceryman saved some by not losing
in shipping, especially il iU was poor
butter, one of the greatest causes Of
such low prices IN butter is the great
amount of poor butter thrown on the
market, an inferior article always
lowers the price, and too often the
causes of poor butter are due to o
lack Of the proper conveniences in
keeping the milk and cream, before
it is turned into butter, while if the
same milk and cream was turned over
to a creamery the result would OF
been good butter. We can say we
have lived where cresmeries have
hourished and can testify to the
great benefit derived from such an
industry, it was quite encouraging to
receive the money for your cream at
the close Of the week, and not had
the worry of churnlng the butter and
trading 1t out. Some may think that
1t would take number of COWS to
make cream selling pay, you take two
COWS giving little over half pail
of milk piece twice day you will
average at the least one inch to two
inches a day of cream, or if it is only
one inch and you get ten cents an
inch, which they usually give, at the
close of the week you will have
seventy cents in cash for your cream.
Now if you had churned that same
amount of cream you would of only
had seven pounds of butter land /
doubt very much if it would be that
much as it don't always hold out, q
pound of butter to on inch of creamy
and very likely have to take eight
cents a pound for 1t and maybe less,
it would only be then fifty-six cents
and trade it out 1t is much pleas
snter to deal on caAb basis and sell
your cream for money. Now why
can't something be done to start the
ball rolling. The editors Of both
the county papers have did their part
but there must be something lacking
in enterprise in the bulk Of the men,

A BOOST FOR LIBERIA.
Wife of the African Republics Vice
President Writes n Letter.

Mr. Robert II. Tatem has just received
a letter of some interest from one Of his
clients in Liberia, Mrs. Clara L. Ross,
wife of J. ]. Ross, the recently elected
vice president of that republic.
Since having emigrated to Liberia with
her husband, Mrs. Ross has made it
point to give some study to the conditions
which surround the negro emigrants who
find their way to the republic. In her
letter to Mr.. Tatem she says
Our little republic has undergone con-
siderable change since writing you last.
Sun II is being protected by Gods uphold
ing hands. What we needed in this coun-
try Is energetic negroes who are not afraid
to work. If we do not have Industrious
negroes to emgrate here, We cannot build
up successful republic on this side of the
Atlantic.
The class Of negroes who have migrated
to this country thus far, with but very
few exceptions, have been of a lazy and
Ignorant class. In fact, this indolent, I'M
worthy class, has been the type which
nave found their way here for the past
eight or ten years. They are not such,
am sorry to say as are calculated to en-
courage those who desire to elevate the
race. Please encourage all honest-hearted
negroes who desire to come to Liberia,
60 do so. There is great work to be done,
the harvest being ripe. but the laborers
few"
''The two great contesting parties in
TINS country have just ended a campaign,
which resulted in the election of Hon.
w. ID. Coleman as president, and Hon. J.
j. Ross (my husband), as vice president.
We look forward TO a better management
of the affairs of the infant republic"
Mr.. Tatem has the management of
some property in this city which belongs
to Mrs. Ross, and the correspondence has
been such as to impart many facts to
him relative 10 Liberia and its progress.

WORK OF THE CONVICTS.
Health Officer LeHardy Mapping Out
New Work For Them,

The location of portion of the county
convict forces, now at work under the di-
rection of the city health authorities, will
probably be changed to-day or tomorrow,
and with that end in view Health Officer
LeHardy took a trip around the suburbs
yesterday for the purpose of determining
what else should be done.
tt was imperative that some thing be done
in the way of finding additional work for
the convicts In some other section of the
city than that in which they had been
working, for the reason that the work, es-
pecially on the eastern side, has been
completed. The health officer started in
his buggy on a tour around the city, in
tent on finding work for the convicts.
He states that he inspected that section
beginning at Gwinnett street, thence to
the powder magazine, thence to the canal
along the canal to the Louisville road and
to the extreme western outskirts of the
city. The health officer then returned to
the Augusta road crossing, then went
along the Augusta road to
Jasper Springs and along the Vale Royal
road to the river In fact. he made a four
hours inspection of the entire western
section, taking notes along the way and
specifying just what work, in his judg-
ment, should be executed.
Returning to his office, a report was at
once made out and transmitted to Chair
man F. S. Lathrop of the drainage COM
mittee of the county commissioners so
that there would be no delay in starting
the convicts to work this morning.
Nothing whatever has been said about
| the removal of the convcts and the prob
ability is that they will be kept at the
work of ditchlng and draining, as long as
| the health authorities find a necessity for
| this work.
| From the satisfactory work which has
| already been accomplished, 1t is not
| thought probable that they will be given
up by the health authorities of the city
for some time. or at least, until the sec
ton surrounding the city has been put
| in thorough sanitary condition.

AT WORK ON NEW STREETS.
1T IS THOUGHT THEY WILL BE
OPENED IN ABOUT A MONTH.

Where the New Streets VIII Run.
Important to Secure the Land Now
When 1t Can Be Bought CheapIy.
Alderman Charlton VIII Push the
WOrk-AIderman KrouskOR Much
Interested in the Work in the
Southern Part of the City.
Work will begin on the opening up of
West Broad street and Henry, Waldburg,
New Houston, Duffy, Harmon, Paulsen
and Bolton streets in about a month. AL
derman w. C. Charlton, chairman Of
the committee on opening streets, thinks
it will be about that length Of time before
forces get to work In the two sections.
Considerable time will be necessary to
enable the city attorney to go carefully
into the questions Of deeds and titles out
Mr.. Charlton said that just as soon as all
of these matters can be arranged, the ac-
tual work of opening up the streets Will
be begun. He says the next work will be
to open up that section of the city lying
between Anderson and Twelfth streets.
and between Bull street and the Waters
road. Initial steps for the opening of
much of this property have already been
taken.
Alderman Krouskoff of the committee
on streets and lanes was busily engaged
in the office of the city engineer yester-
day, looking up matters with reference
to the opening of the streets.
1t was stated to a Morning News re-
porter by Alderman Krouskoff that there
was large amount of work along the
line of opening streets which the street
and lane committee had mapped out, and
which was to be done in the near future.
He said that 1t was the policy of the COM
mittee TO open up streets in the unset
tied localities just as fast as it could.
1t did not matter whether the city was
In absolute need of the new streets or
not, he said, since the price at which
property could be purchased at this time
was so low that it was to the interest of
the city TO acquire property likely to be
used for streets as rapidly as possible.
IF the city delays the matter of ac-
quiring street property until it is in abso-
Lutte need of it, at least three times the
price will have to be paid, compared with
that for which it can be purchased now.
1t was with this idea in view that the
committee decided to purchase such prop
erty Wherever it was offered for sale,
around the city at reasonable rates.
Alderman Krouskoff further stated that
the committee had planned for the pur-
chase of a large portion of property be-
tween Anderson and Twelfth streets. He
said that street would be opened at once
and that while they were not needed at
present, the requirement of the property
at nominal rates, would make the invest
ment profitable one to the city in the
end.

HUNTING FOR HUGHES 81, 600.
Heirs of 81 Dead Man Searching For
His Estate.

Heirs of 81 Dead Man Searching For
His Estate.
The heirs of Simon Hughes, who was
found dead in room in the rear of No.
Ala Taylor street about two weeks ago,
are stirring themselves to find the $1,000
which Hughes was reported to have put
away in bank,
Hughes was a respectable Woodworking
colored man, who had been employed as
a brakeman on the Plant system for the
last twenty-five years. He lived for fif-
teen years at the place where he died. He
had been missed for couple of days, but
it was supposed by the occupants on the
premises that he had been detained out
on the road. Blood was discovered on the
ground in the quarters over which Hughes
roomed. That led to the discovery of the
body. There We're no evidences of foul
play, and the coroner decided that death
resulted from natural causes. The blood
came from a hemorrhage.
Hughes was unmarried. He was about
So years Old. His only relatives We're two
sisters one of whom lives in the city and
the other in the country. The husband of
a third sister, who died some time ago, is
looking into the matter. So far he has
been unable to find any trace of the 81 900
which Hughes was reported to have had
in bank. The dead man was also insured
in the Plant system insurance department.

MARKET ON THE WANE.
Turpentine Goes Down Two Cents
In About Three Days.

Turpentine Goes Down Two Cents
In About Three Days.
The prop which has been boosting the
spirits turpentine market and holding up
the price for the past two months has been
removed, and a perpendicular drop has
taken place. A few days ago the price of
spirits was so cents; last night the mar
ket closed dull at 80 cents, a decline of 2
cents since Saturday. The downward
course started Saturday at the closing
of the market, and since that time there
has been a depression which set the SELL
ers to guessing.
AS has been repeatedly published, the
situation of the market for over two
months has been controlled by the Ant
werp Naval Stores Company. This COM
pany has bought heavily during the sea-
son, and not until the price had been
forced above 30 cents were other buyers
allowed to secure the daily receipts.
The controllers of the market suddenly
dropped out a few days ago and the mar
ket, not having that support, began to
go down. On Wednesday &c decline was
recorded. followed by further drop Of 1
cent yesterday. The regular buyers were
neslecting the market yesterday, and
even at the decline to 30 cents, there was
no demand, and the tone was dull. There
Is considerable apprehension as to what
the course of the market will be In the
near future.
