THE NEED OFMORE FACTORIES

Lumber Trade Journal.
The fact that the ''PascagOula Dis
trict" has forged to the front as one of
the greatest lumber shipping ports of
this country, with every prospect of
becoming the greatest in the neal fu-
ture, is beginning to attract the at
tention OF the whole country to the
commercial advantages this port Of.
fers.
Scranton is the principal town, but
what it needs TO hasten the progress
it is making in other directions is fac
tories to produce the thousand and
n articles consumed by its people
and which are made in the cities Of
the North and West. Therefore, no
effort should be spared to induce CAPT.
tai to come here and engage in manu-
featuring industries. The trade Of
the town would not only be largely
increased thereby, but steady employ
mcnt at fair wages would be given
home labor. 1t has been a source of
wonder to a great many people that
this district, with its splendid geo.
graphical situation, rail and ocean
transportation and unsurpassed eli.
mate, does 50 in the way of manu-.
featuring to supply the demand OF
the local trade and that of adjoining
States. There has been quite graft.
flying improvement in this respect.
however, within the past three or four
years, and there is reason to hope that
in the near future there will be a rigid
and substantial growth of our manu-
featuring industries. More factories
are what We need, and the commercial
organizations all over the South should
embrace every opportunity to call at
tention tothe facilities enjoyed by the
cities in this section and we are all
willing to hazard the opinion that the
city of Scranton, Miss, will compare
favorably with any city in the United
States.
ApropUs of the factory question, we
might suggest a sash and blind factO-
ry. This town possesses numerous ad-
vantages for this kind Of anindustry.
An abundance Of raw material, unsur-
shipping advantages and a
home market form its chief character.
istics.
An industry OF this skind would
prove a profitable investment and the
first cost would not be very much; it
would pay from the very day the ma
chinery turned over, and it would give
an impetus to Scranton such as it
never enjoyed before.

Charleston Is. c. Post.
There is an old woman in Charleston
who has not been on the Battery since
the war and has not hecn On King
street in fifteen years. This may seem
like Il fairy tale to many; but it is IL
true statement. She Is not u cripple,
either, but Is as well and strong as a
woman could expect to be who has
reached the age Of "A years. She lives
In the western part 0f the city within
a few squares OF King street and near
the Rutledge avenue street car line.
Another remarkable thing about
this old lady Is that she has never seen
the electric cars and has no desire to
see one, so she says. She was asked
by a friend OF hers the other day to
join her In a trolley ride, but she de.
clincd with thanks, saying she did not
care to ride on anything that was pro-
PEELED by unseen power. Law me-"
said she, when asked to take a trolley
ride, do you think I'd yet on one Of
those cars that are run by electricity?
l could not be induced to take one OF
those electric rides. You are fooling
with something you can't sce."
AS before stated, the old lady has
not been on the Battery since the war,
Notwithstanding repeated efforts have
been made by friends and relatives to
get her to visit this beautiful place,
all appeals fell on deaf ears. She
would reply when asked: "Thank you,
l do not care to CO."
Other than this no excuse was ever
offered. Oftentimes she has been ask.
cd by her friends why she did not care
to 60 on the Battery or why she had
not been there since the war, but
never a reason did she give. TIE old
lady b a genuine rebel, and says she
has never surrendered and never will.
In her house is a large Confederate
flag suspended from the wall In her
room, and u Is said she sits under II
hours at a time and knlts stockings.

Leads Cuban Forces 10000 Strong the
Entire Length Of the Island.
New York, Sept. 3.-The following
which comes direct from the inSurgent
camp at Havana, appeared in The Jour.
nsl: The victorious march of the ca.
ban, under Maxine Come and An
tonic Maceo the entire length Of the
island in MARITIME Campos' time ma,
just been duplicated by Quintin Ban
deras. This war captain. than whom
no Cuban of the colored race, excepting
only the MaceoS, has won greater hon
or- in the present struggle for independ-
ence, led $4,000 men. representing all
branches OF the Cuban army. from the
eastern end Of the island. where the
patriots in arms are strongest. 10 the
western end, where, since Antonio
Maceo'> death through the trcacher> of
his body physician, DR.. Zcreucha, the
Cuban cause has not prospered SO well.
These men penetrated into Matanzas,
Havana and Pnar del Rio, strengthen
ing the existing forces in each of those
provinces to such an extent that the
coming winter campaign there may be
expected to be even as disastrous for
the Spanish arms as in the time of the
redoubtable Maceo.
Banderas says that the second inva-
sion of the west was made in compli-
ance with plans that were completed by
Maxine Gomez, the general-in-chief,
himself in June last, and that the march
was effected with little or no trouble or
molestation from the Spanish troops.
I'VE crossed their lines again" he
says, "but there was no fight in them
and we had no battles. Our men be-
haved nobly IN the face of possible at
tacks by larger forces. There was no

Of our soldiers who have fought, are |
