GreenyilIe as a Coaling Station.

In an interesting article dealing
with fuel forIa .siana, the Louis
lana Planter am Sugar Manufac-
turer refers as follows to the effect
of the establishment by the South
ern railway Of a barge line from
GreenyilIe, Miss;
This barge line is now an ae-
eomplished fact, and it should
have a material effect upon coal
prices by stimulating the compe-
tition between Pittsburg and Ala
bama Goals. The tipple erected at
Greenyille by the Southern rail
way has a present capacity Of
about 1900 tons a day, and the
towing capacity is practically m-
limited, one of the most powerful
towboats ON the river being now
engaged in the work, and the ser
vices of as many more as may be
necessary can he readily secured.
"The consumption of coal on
the river and tributaries south Of
Greenyille is probably in the
neighborhood of LOCO, ,000 tons
per annum, and the present output
of the Corona mine, the American
mine and the Virginia and Ala
bama mine-these three being the
only ones so situated that they can
ship over the Southern railway
GreenviIle feeder to advantage
is about 100000 tons year. Thi
output, however, can be enlarged
to practically any quantity that
there is demand for, the mining
properties being susceptible of
enormous development, consisting
as they do, of some 26, 200 acres
of coal lands.
Gone feature Of the system of
transportation involved which
will commend itself particularly
to the sugar planter, is that the
railroad company gives through
bill of Iading right from the mine
to the plantation, covering the
entire rail and water haul, and it
appears to have the same conf
dence IN its ability to handle the
immense shipments promptly and
safely as it would in its ability to
carry a barrei of sugar into
Texas. The river south of Green
vile is comparatively devoid Of
danger for the tows, and the eX-
cellent Package between the mines
and the Greenyllle tipple permits
of the operating of immense trains
of seveDty-fve or eighty loaded
cars with perfect safety

There were three children in the
family, and the mother felt called

You that are land owners in the

Before dismissing this subject l
desire to state my views upon the
monetary question. There are two
classes OF people composing So
ciety-the debtor and the creditor.
The debtor desires deprecated
currency and appreciated prop
erty, the creditor desires appre-
ciated money and deprecated
property. The one has money to
invest, the other has debts to pay.
In my opinion when the gold stand
ard was adopted every debtors
debt in the United States was in
creased one hundred per cent, A
greater outrage was never per-
petrated upon. the people of the
country. The creditor speaks of

The board Of county commissioners
met in regular session Monday. Fred
Dawson was elected to fill the vacancy
on the board caused by the resignation
Of George c. Wilkins, who recently re-
moved to Colorado.
A petition was presented to the board
praying for an open range from Nov
embeT 1 TO April 1, and a protest has
also been presented praying the com

the commissioners would grant the
petition, it would have 70 be submitted
TO q vote at the coming fall election.
No action had been taken upon the
matter by the board up to yesterday.
They are trsnsacting the regular

A sNmMINe Station.

The Prospeet Good FO- Os,s At eoOdlsrd d
In the Near Future
A large number Of farmers attended
the skimming station meeting at the
court house Saturday p m to take
action on the subject Of a skimming
station At this point. The representa-
tive Of the Kansas Creamery company
was up from Topeka and presented
the following facts and estimates on
the subject:
A skimming station would cost a
maximum Of $500 If built new, but If
suitable building could be bought at
low figure and moved on the selected
site, the expense could be Iessened
considerably. The company would re-
qpire the erection Of such building
by the citizens, either By subscription
or by q stock company, and the cream
cry company would obligate them
selves to rent the building paying on
q graduated scale as follows: On the
average daily delivery Of 1000 pounds
OF milk, 6 per cent on the investment;
on 5000 pounds, 8 per cent; on 10000
10 per cent; and they would keep the
property in repair.
The company would take all milk
that comes, daily delivery in warm
weather and every other day in cold
weather. The average price paid for
cream, based on last years estimates,
would be 161z cents per pound. The
ratio Of cream to milk, on the average,
is per cent, which would make the
milk bring 66 cents per hundred
pounds, the patron getting the milk
back, for calf or pig feed, less cream
substance. It is stated that with the
addition Of little oiImeaI calves will
thrive on the skinned milk as well as
on the whole new milk
They will pay the same price here as
at the Belleville creamery less cents
per hundred pounds, freight on cream.
These terms are as good as could be
reasonably expected. On this basis,
the estimated income per COW, profit on
calves not considered, is = per month.
The following committee, to work the
plan up, were appointed: GOOdland,
William Walker, jr.; VOltaire, F. A.
Hard; Logan, A Fender; Itasca, I.
Warner; Smoky, Thomas Butt.
The creamery agent will be here
next Wednesday and Thursday to get
the report and to help put the thing on
its feet. It's a good thing. Push it
along.
