DIFFERENT STANDARDS.

TeXarkana has a young man
who makes frequent forages into
the country buying eggs, chickens,
turkeys, and country produce gen
orally, having it shipped here, max
ing a margin on the same. A few
days ago he dropped down at Naples,
Texas, and found a "hayseed" who
had sweet potatoes for sale. Our
young friend soon drove a trade for
the lot and they agreed to weigh
them instead of measuring, as is
customary. "Hayseed" pulled out
an old Standard of Weights, on
which was marked forty-six pounds
of sweet potatoes to the bushel,
and our slick trader, not knowing
the standard had been changed to
sixty pounds, stood by and saw him
self "chiseled " out of fourteen
pounds of potatoes on every bushel
he bought. He would have never
known the difference, perhaps, if he
had not found it out when he sold
to merchant here doing business
with an up.todate standard table
of weights and measures. There
will be trouble down at Naples when
our young trader visits that place
again and has a new lot of stand
ard weights and measures distrib-
uted to the farmers who have not
yet learned that the late war is over
and that our people are preparing
for another one,

Mr.. j. NJ. Brown, a former citizen
and contractor of this city, but now
of Houston, Texas, arrived here this
morning. Mr.. Brown is the princl-
pal witness in State case against
Joe Marx, former president of the
detunct Citizens Bank. The case
started in as a civil one, the status
being thus: Joe Marx borrowed of
Brown $4,000 and had S. Munshei-
mer and Max Munsheimer and Il,
Kline as endorsers. Brown sued ON
the note, and got judgement
against Joe Marx Max Munzesheimer
and L. Kline, but Simon Munzhei-
mer answered that he had not sign
ed the note and Marx himself swore
that he placed S. Munzesheimers
name there, expecting to protect
the paper when it fcll due, but in
the meantime the bank failed and
the money could not be made out
of the judgement and Brown had
Marx indicted. Joe Marx made bond
on two separate occasions to appear
at court, but has failed to appear,
but, we learn has employed Judge
John L. Sheppard along with other
attorneys and will stand his trial at
the present court. The case is set
for fhe 22nd.

THE SOUTH BOOMING.
New England and Foreign Capital
Seeking Investment in our
Southland.

We see IRON the industrial papers
those that keep up with the inn
proyements of the country, that
new enterprises are spriuging up
daily in some parts of the South.
We are admirably situated here to
catch some of these enterprises il
we had agents in the field watching
capital looking for investments and
plotting it here. Below we give a
partial list of investments made in
| the South during the past week;
| At Columbia, S. c., a water power
company, mainly owned by New
England capitalists, who have in
vested about 1000, 600 in that sec
tion and which already has from
10000 to $1,000 horsepower devel-
oped for electrical transmission, has
just completed the purchase of an
additional site giving about 5000
extra horsepower available for de-
velopment, thus indicating the sat-
isfaction with which those investors
regard the development already
made, AT Columbus, Ga, Winston
Salem, N. c., and other points large
water powers are being developed
for electrical transmission, and this
promises to become a predominant
feature in Southern development
At Florence, Ala, l,200 acres of
land, including a large water power
have been purchased with a view to
the erection of a 500, 900 cotton
mill and other enterprises. A cot
ton mill is projected at Fort Payne,
Ark, a $4,000 cotton company is |
being organized at Memphis, and a |
100000 company has been organiz-
ed and will erect 100-tou cotton |
seed oil mill at Yazoo City, Miss
Municipal Improvements are re-
ceiving increased attention. Tam
pa, Fla. willissue $50, 900 of bonds |
for water works Fitzgerald, Ca,
will establish 5000 water works
and electric light plant; Oakland,
Md, 100000 water works aud $25,
600 electric plant; at Columbia, S.
.C., a 100000 electric light compa-
ny has been organized.
Among other industrial enterpri-
ses reported for the week are $780,
900 planning mill at Decatur, Ala ice
factory at Clarendon, Ark; 5000, 900
coal mining company at Paducah,
KY; 100000 agricultural implement

The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-03-21

The first thing a newspaper read
er finds staring him in the face on
opening his daily paper is "The
committee is not yet ready to re-
port" This means that our gov
ernment is preparing for time to
study the situation and to frame
some kind of demand to make on
Spain for the treachery she played
in blowing up our battle ship. Had
this happened to an English man-of-
war or one belonging to Germany,
the Spaniards would now be hiding
out in the thickets of their own
rocks praying that the mountains
would fall on them and hide them
from view. The United States have
ever claimed to be of higher civili-
zation and will put up on bow and
a salute asking pardon for the de
structiou wrought our navy and the
lives destroyed by firing hidden
mine laid for treacherous work
