Factories without Chimneys

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
To horseless carriages and smokeless
powder add chimneyless factories as the
newest In nomenclature. Heretofore it has
been necessary in order to secure plenty of
draft for a furnace to build an immensely
tall chimney. Now 1t is found that instead
of pulling the draft by chimney you can
push it from below with a fan. A plant
running three boilers of 260 horse power
tried this experiment with a fan whose
wheel had a diameter of fifty-four inches.
The draft was so much bettered that the
firm saved nearly $1,000 year by using a
cheaper grade of coal.

TWO BALES COTTON FROM ONE ACRE

From the Russellvlle Times.
One weighing 531, another APO. Total of
951 lint from one acre. Looks like pretty
big yield, don't it? But this is just exactly
what Mr.. J. S. Gray made on his farm six
miles northeast of Russellville in this good
year of 1885, The two bales classed as good
middling and were bought by MIR. c. E. Will
son at 5.35, or at total price of $50.SS.
This cotton was raised on Mr.. Grays pet
acre" the same land on which last year he
raised S4S pounds of lint cotton and won the
buggy offered by Messrs. Wilson & Co., for
the largest yield; the year previous the yield
was 1863 pounds of lint cotton, being second
in the contest for the prize wagon offered
likewise by the same firm, Wilson G. Co.,
Mr.. T. I. Duncan, of lockwood, being the
winner that year by some seventy odd
pounds. This year no prize was up but as
our friend says, "he raced with himself his
objective point being 1000 pounds to the
acre. The steady increase in yield Is pretty
good evidence that he is nearing the goal
Mr.. Gray used the Kennesaw guano, put
ting on 400 pounds last year, and this, he
hauled in addition fifty-three wagon loads
of rich dirt and leaves scraped from top of
soil in woods, also twelve loads of stable
manure, the rich dirt and manure was
plowed in broadcast as deep as two horses
could pull it, and put in the winter, on
which he lays special stress. Cotton was
planted in the usual way April LIST and kept
clean, absolutely from the time it came
up. Mr.. Gray says he is in the game again
this year for the 1000 pounds yield.
The seed used was the same variety he
has ben planting for several years, Be-
hemian. Mr. Gray says he made 81 bales
this year and these two bales cost him
less in work to cultivate the ground on
which they were raised than any other sin
gle bale has cost him. Who can beat this
showing for crop on land that was orig
inaly worth not exceeding 81 per acre.

THE wnEELER-BAILEY CoNTRovERs,

From the Washington Post.
General Wheeler of Alabama, is keeping
very quiet, but the indications are that he
is preparing to give Leader Bailey, who
wants to GUST him from his seat in the
house, lively run. The grizzly little hero
has been examining the cases of members
who held military commissions in former
wars, and has not contented himself with
looking up the facts as shown in various
congressional documents, but has taken
the trouble to explore the local history
The case Of Colonel Yell, of Arkansas for
instance. whose seat was declared vacant
because of his services in the Mexican
war, has been quite completely studied by
Gen. Wheeler, and he Is now probably bet
ter informed about 1t than any other men,
Der of the house. The general learns that
just at that time Arkansas had important
business pending before the house. She
had but two representatives then in con-
gress, and Congressman Yell's constituents
felt that 1t was imperative that some one
should be in Washington to represent them
The constitution was dragged into the
political fuss that followed, just as 1t has
been made to figure In Leader Bailey's
arguments, and a successor was elected In
Arkansas. He started for Washington, but
Colonel Yell was killed after serving twelve
ysars in the army. The news Of his death
did not reach here until after his successor.

NOT A PARTY ISSUE

Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama
The question of expansion, so called, is not
and cannot be made party question. The
circumstances under which the new ideas
have arisen are entirely novel and peculiar,
and every man in the United States is at
perfect liberty to form an opinion for him
self without respect to party lines as to
the new possessions, for the reason that no
political party has ever made a declaration
on the subject
1 deny the right of any man to control
my opinions question of this kind.

TO THE VICTOR BELONGS THE sPoILs

TO THEvICTOR BELONGS THE SPOILS
From the Gurley Herald.
The democrats who have so firmly planted
the standard of free silver in Alabama
should enjoy the fruits of the victory they
have won.
Colonel John w. Tomlinson was one who
was ever found at the front using all the
powers he possessed toward attaining the
glorious end we have achieved. He is
now candidate for railroad commissioner.
He deserves it and should receive the ap
pointment. While his free silver ideas will
cut no figure in the office of commissioner,
the Herald believes that those who win
great battles should enjoy the fruits of
victory.

Firm the Columbus Press Post.
Mr.. Mckinley has enjoyed southern hos
pitality in a manner BETTING him and his
hosts, but southern votes involve differ
ent matter. From this point of view, Mr..
Mckinley had a more enthusiastic recep-
ton in the south than was accorded him in
Ohio, when he passed through this state
on his recent electioneering expedition.

The current talk as to Mr.. Mckinley

the White House does not deceive the old
Ohio politician. He knows there are many
disconnected people, and he knows, too,
history been the presidential outcome of
popular war.

In Msmoriam.

In the past year the womens Christ
ian Temperance Union has been in the
providence of God, called upon to part
with q number of its best beloved and
efficient workers. One has dropped from
the ranks here, and another there,
among she number who has followed
closely is our beloved leader, who has
been the highly esteemed and faithful
superintendent OF jail and prison work,
Mrs. Helen NJ. Elkins, of Albany Union.
At the regular meeting of the union
on Tuesday, the following resolution was
adopted:
REsoLvKD, That in the death of Mrs.
Helen NJ. Elkins, this Union, of which
she has been an honored member fol
many years, has lost one of its most Ell
cient aud earnest workers. She was
faithful unto the end, doing all in hel
power to advance the cause which haC
become an important factor in her life
work. We who are left to carry forwarC
this work realize sadly the great loss w
have sustained by her removal and VI
would offer this tribute of respect AM
love to her memory and extend on
heartfelt sympathy to the aged mother
the husband and the children, who an
left..to mourn the death of their love-
one. Although we cannot now under
stand the purpose of the Lord in taking
away from our midst one who was 8
willing and faithful in this service. Te
we, as his children can trust him, for W
know that
Gods plans like lilies pure and whit
unfold,
We must not tear the closed shut leave
apart,
Time will reveal the calyxes OF gold,
And il through patient toll We reach tn
land
Where tired feet with sandals loose ma
rest,
When We shall clearly know and under
stand,
think that We will say, God knew ii
best,
