At the sixty-third annual meeting OF
the New England Cotton Manufactur-
ers' Association last week Mr.. J. S. Da-
Wis, of Holyoke, Mass, presented n pa
per on FLAX Culture and the Manufac.
ture of Linen In Place of Coarser Cot
tons in New England" Among other
things the speaker said: at seems in
evitable that the manufacture of coar-
ser cottons will be gradually trans
ferred to the south. Indeed, II this
movement toward the south continues
at the increased pace of the last ten
years the south will be making the
larger part of the coarser cottons man
ufactured in this country. The New
England cotton manufacturers must
face this fact squarely and with the
same indomitable courage and enter.
prise with which they have faced the
many obstacles Of the past Further
on the speaker stated that the produc-
ton OF the fax fiber has fallen from
27.l33,03 pounds In 1869 to 100000
pounds In 1897. In 1910 $4,000 900 yards
OF linen We're made in this country
whereas at present we import $50. .O00.-
900 worth Of linen annually. 1t wa,
suggested that the abandoned farms oI
New England are peculiarly adapted
to the culture OF fax and that man,
idle cotton mills could be proftabl,
converted into linen mills.

the enterprise; and when grown UP he

for the pounding, adding that the
teacher had made man Of him. Per
haps the ambitious school-boy of to-

THE FAIR.
P HILANYHR0PISy

IOHl whom do you think saw driving
~ with Gerald Morton this morningi'
asked Mrs. Morris Of her great friend
the doctors wife, as the two ladies were
enjoying five o'clock tea and the gen
eral gossip of the parish together one
afternoon.
"Beatrix Harcourt," Mrs. Maynard
answered promptly.
"Ah, you saw her, too, then. must
say L was astonished. 1t is we'll known
that young Morton bears the character
of being the fastest man in the neigh
borhood.'
81 have long ceased to be surprised
at anything Beatrix Harcourt does >
The other lady answered significantly
'If Mr.. Kenrick does not mind, I do
not see why anyone else should trouble
their heads about her eccentricities.
Certainly not" Mrs. Morris agreed.
"But, really, Rose, she was laughing
and talking in the most familiar manner,
and Gerald was bending toward her
until his face nearly touched hers"
"And that is our future wears wife !!
Well, 1 shall take care my daughters
do not see much of her." And Mrs.
Maynard drew herself up with kind Of
lofty indignation, as some fresh visitors
were shown into the room.
Poor Beatrixl Her numerous delin-
quencies were the subject Of many af-
ternoon tea gossips, and had been ever
since she came to chichester, four years
ago. She certainly was unlike other
girls; for, in addition to being "blue
stocking and having taken her degree
at Oxford, she had most unreasonable
interest in the working classes-not a
mere ladylike interest. which contented
itself with calling at their cottages with
a few words of good advice and tract.
All, no. she had always some plan, or
"craze," as the good people Of Hill
chester called it, for their benefit on
hand-classes for the young girls, am
bulanee lectures, concerts, teas, what
not?
For the conventionalities of society
she cared not at all. She never attend
ed the afternoon teas, therefore she
heard no gossip. She was not even
particular about being in the fashion; in
fact, the black serge dress she usually
wore looked, from constant exposure to
the weather, as if it had seen better
days.
She had been known even to take the
broom off the lame old crossing sweep
er at the corner of the road and work
away in earnest until there was q pass
ago fit for queen to walk over.
And in spite of all, the vicar of Hill
chester had asked Beatrix Harcourt to
be his wife. Well, as the leaders of
society in Hillchester remarked with
ominous signs, wonders never cease!
Nevertheless, it must be confessed
that the Rev. John Kenrick was in no
very snviable frame Of mind, as week
lAterhe wendell his way somewhat slowly
toward his lady loves abode.
The gossip which had begun in Mrs.
drawing-room had spresdall
over the parish, until version Of it,
highly exaggerated and colosed, had
reached even the wears ears.
Reatrix was leaning over the drive
gate which led to her fathers house,
for him as usual, and as he
saw the glad look Of welcome brighten |

The fight on Mr. Graves while
pretendadly on high plane has
been nothing but personal ore
made by the editor Of the Democrat,
because he would never yield TO the
Establishments of thai paper, and it's
slush and gush used successfully for
smaller minds, never had any effect
upon Mr.. Graves. Mr. Wade has
hated him since he has .b,el in the
practice Of law, and the Democrat
has not had ia yetrs kind word or
complimentary notice of him though
be has risen from o5scurity to an
enyiable position in the front rank
OF the bar Ct the state by his own
ability and industry. He las been
the successful lawyer in a number of
cases of state note and one Of national
Importance in the past few years
and not once did that paper make
mention of any of them. A few
years ago he was elected city attor
ney over the violent opposition OF
the Democrat, which became so
abusive OF him 10 his official capacity
that Mr.. Graves was compelled to
threaten to m IKE it personal mat
ter with the editor, when it suddenly
ceased. In fact Mr.. Wade's hatred
Is 50 deep and venomous that be
would not hesitate to sacrifice tt @
democratic party in order TO defeat
MIR. Graves.

The attempt Of the Democrat TO
prejudice the ex-confe derates against
us is very silly and ludicrous in the
extreme when it is remembered that
the editor of that paper is a member
Of the G. A. r, made application
for a pension and was rejected aud
ever since has been toadying to and
soldering "a not very elegant ex-
preston but the only one that
expresses it, over ex-confederates.
It's attitude toward some of these
gentlemen in the past few years has
been simply nauseating to sensible
men.
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1898-07-07

We have no desire or intention oil
getting up a personal controversy
with the editor of the Democrat, but
his fight on Mr.. Graves was SO
manifestly unfair that we were com
PEELED to point out it's venom and
glaring Inconsistencies. We doubt
not that this weeks issue of that
paper will contain any amount of
sensational accusations and false
statements. We say that beause it
has been its history in city and
county politics to wait until too late
to be refuted by the other papers
and then make any kind of a charge
he thinks will benefit his cause. So
we hereby warn our readers against
believing anything in this last issue
of the Democrat before the conven
ton. If Mr.. Wade had any charges
that would stand the light of inyes,
tlgation he would have produced
them long before this. Democrats.

brother democrat a great injustice
