The Advantages OF Southern Cotton
Mills.

Inc rapid Increase IN the numbeI
of Southern cotton mills during re-
cent years is one OF the most srgnif
cant aud Interesting developments IN
The industrial situation in this coun.
try This Increase has not been based
upon any greater climatic fness OF
this section for cotton manu- tsCturipo
than elsewhere, but simply and sslely
on tho fact that the raw material was
to be found here, aud for that reason
1t was possible to manufacture il
more cheaply into cloth because of
the saving in cfrrying charges, com,
missions aud the like.
Tho successful competition OF the
Southern mills with the older esiab-
lished New England factories has been
generally admitted, although ii has
been held until recently that this sue
cesSIul competition extended only to
the lower grades Of goods, In order
TO preserve their trade, many of the
New England companies established
branch mills In the South, for the
purpose of manufacturing the coarsef
kinds of cloth. Now, however, It is
realized that it is also possible 10
make the finer grades of cotton goods
III the South more cheaply than n the
North; hence, before very many ears,
this section will be as great a compe-

commoner grades of cotton cloths,

prWarren Anderson, in advocating
the system of national quarantine
before the New York Board of Trade,
speaks as follows:

"The State sbonld be represented in

but those OF us who have had IN,

with him know this 10 be false. Ht
wrote TO DR.. Van Dyke in 1889:

the same feeling in not a few of his
poems When he received an album
OF bis own verses copied By some
young pupil IN Brooklyn public
school, he wrote to them thus: "Sucb
kindly memorials as yours make me

When a city begins to grow in size
and The sidewalks of brick replace
the dirt pathways, many of the pas
times that youth delights in are forced
to disappear. Others generally take
their places, but they are not of the
same ancient character as those that
fourished in the carly days, and the
old-timers shake their heads despair
iugly when they SEQ the new aud dc
generate games of the MODERN youth.
Among the games that were forced
out OF The city by the transformation
oflanes Into streets was the game o.
marbles. When the nice places along
the dirt walks where marbles could be
played with ease we're gone the game
began to lauguish, until it was almost
dead. But IN the present scare, when
the smooth streets of the city are al
most deserted. the arab has found a
way to indulge in his PastIme of mar
bles in the heart OF the city. Hesler-
day q crowd of gamins gathered on
the coruer of Main and Madison, and
producing their marbles began 8
game on the smooth surface of Madi-
son street, where The bricks made all
excellent marble ground. Aud they
played their game just as earnestly as
if they were on the best of dirt

What Is Alyerti.inr.

Ask a hundred men, "What is adver
tising"' and ninety-nine Of them will
say that advertising is-advertising.
Advertising, as l see it, is the an
nouncement of anything by any medi.
UNI Of presentation.
Advertising is a. commodities much
as dry goods, shoes or flour.
Advertising is one Of the five links
in the chain Of business.
The advertising that does not pay is
almost always the advertising that has
not been given a chance to pay.
The average user OF advertising
writes the advertisement with blunt
pencil upon a pad of paper upon his
knee, or quickly scribbles off the name
and address-and something else-up-
on pad On his desk.
He pays good money for advertising
space.
He fills that expensive space with the
careless thought of a minute.
1t is estimated that the world spends
$4,000, 100000 a year in advertising.
An intelligent estimate has not been
able to assume that this same business
world pays out more than one two
thousandth of this total expenditure
for the preparation of it's advertising
matter.
If advertising is worth anything
and every successful business man
says that it is-then some care should
be given to it's preparation, just as
much as to the management of any
other part of Observation-Disclosures.

An Important Ruling by the AttOr.

Devils Lake, N. D., Special.-On the
Sth Of last March the legislature re-
pealed the revenue law Of 1895 and
enacted a new law, making important
changes In the collection of taxes. I'm
der the old law taxes became delin-
Quent on the LIST of March and n 5 per
cent penalty was added on the LIST of
June. AS the law was passed between
these times 1T has been question
whether penalty and interest should
be added to the delinquent taxes of
1896. Attorney General Cowen, in re-
county auditors, has rendered the
opinion that: First, that a tax sale
should be held for the year 1897; sec
ond, that said sale lands should be sold
for the real estate tax of 1896 md all
prior unpaid real estate taxes, not in
Guiding taxes on which lands have
been sold to the state or actual pur-
chasers at tax sale; third, no penalty
or interest can be charged on the taxes
of 1906; penalty and interest on taxes
of prior years ceased to accumulate
from March 8, 1897; after the tax sale
of 1897 the penalty ts 5 per cent and
tine interest per cent a month; fourth,
the costs of sale are to be added to the
amount necessary to pay taxes after
advertisement; fifth, ITO personal taxes
can be included in the tax sales for
1897; sixth, unpaid personal taxes
prior to the tax of 1897 should be
added to the tax roll of 1897 pursuant
to section 100 of chapter 1876"

First Person Photographed.

1t was in the year 1872 that John
Draper, then a professor in the Uni
versity Of New York, made the first
portrait photograph. The subject was
Elizabeth Draper, his sister. Prof.
Draper had the idea that in order to
produce distinct facial outlines in pho
Biography, it would be necessary to
cover the countenance Of the person
photographed with flour. This seems
a strange notion now, and it proved
not to be a good one then, for all OF
Prof. Diapers early attempts were
failures. Finally, he left of the flour,
and then was quite successful. This
so delighted him that he sent the pic
ture to Sir William Herschel, the emf
nent English astronomer. Sir William
was in turn delighted, and made known
made known Prof. Diapers success to
the scientific men of Europe. He also
sent Prof. Draper letter Of acknowi
edgement and congratulation, which
has been carefully preserved in the
archives of the Draper family.

Less Devoted to Wheat.

Minor, N. D., Special.-Stock raising
is becoming scarcely secondary to
wheat raising in this section of North
Dakota. The wheat acreage will prob
ably be no larger next year than this
from present Indications, while nearly
every farmer is increasing his herds as
fast as possible. Buyers are securing
the country for stock for the Eastern
markets, and larger shipments have
been made this fall than ever before.
Senator Tom MARSHALL of Cakes made
q shipment Of sixteen cars of cattle.
and hogs from that place last week
probably the largest single shipment
of stock ever made from this section.
Farmers are disposing only Of their
old stock and steers as rule, retain
ing the heifers for breeding purposes.
The creamery industry is also receiv,
ing fits share of attention, and five
creameries are now in successful ope-
ration in Sargent county.

Grand Forks, N. D., Special. - The
city council will probably have con-
siderable controversy over a public
electric light plant before the citizens
enjoy that luxury, although there is
not a citizen but is tn favor of the city
using electricity for lighting purposes.
The present company n"s made q
proposition to light the city for $125
per light. An expert claims that the
city can maintain the lights at 5000
each. Mayor Dinnie is enthusiastic
over the prospects of municipal

plan, however, and it would not be
surprising should an injunction form
part Of tie proceedings.
