alton and great excitement and en-
thusiasm prevailed when it was learn
ed that our brave soldier boys were to
leave.
Capt. Albert Moore received orders
late Tuesday night to get the boys
ready and the officers of the company
were called to the armory on East
Burke street. After that kilograms
came thick and fast, changing former
plans and complicating things con-
siderably. The hitch was between
the authoities at Washington and
those at Charleston, the former desir-
ing the mobilization of the troops to
take place at Martinsburg, while the
latter wanted them to mobilize at Ka.
nawha City, ten miles from Charles
ton.
The.guards were at the armory all
morning getting all their pharapha-
MALTA ready so they could move at a
moments notice.
A telegram was received just before
noon stating that they were to move
at O'Clock, and at l o clock another
was received telling them they would
go between and 9 p. m. The City
Band turned out at / o'clock and
when it was found that the soldiers
were not going at the time stated, the
band marched to the Auburn Wagon
works where flag was raised.
About three O'Clock the Fire De-
partment Drum Corps made short
tour Of the town, rendering music
that echoed /" Cuba Libre" and
death to the Spaniards."
Queen street was crowded with peo-
pie all afternoon. the schools having
been closed as were also the various
factories OF the town.
Word was received that Company
|, of CharlesTown, would leave at 6
O'Clock and arrive at Martinsburg at
7 O'Clock, and that Company + would
leave at that time on the same train.
Immense crowds of people gathered
on the side walks of Burke, Queen
and Martin streets, and at 6:3o the
parade started. The Drum Corps
headed the procession, then came the
Firemen, Mechanics Band, the 6. A.
R., City Band and then "Old Glory's"
Defenders. The line of march was

He could hardly keep anything on

This is not an uncommon case.

They may eat enough, but they

they eat turns into poison. If this

Steel manufacturers of protective
America have just won a big victory
over those OF free trade England, and
that, too, under the British flag. The
Australian Commissioner of Railways,
desiring to relay portions of existing
railway lines with new steel rails,
asked offers from manufacturers in
various parts of the world, and re-
ceived bids from Germany, England,
and the United States. When these
bids were opened. it was found that
those from the United States were
lower than those from Germany or
England, and the contract, amounting
to nearly half a million dollars was
awarded to one of the American bid
ders, the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany, its Did being nearly SEC, 900

the air and "Old Glory" waved in
many hand.
Never before in the history OF Mar
tinsburg had such large crowd gath
cred at the depot All available room
was taken up, and the two bands
took their turn in playing national
airs. Cheers were offered for Cap
tain Moore, Company +, and the citi-
zens of Martinsburg. Hand shaking
by friends and the parting of rela.
tives brought tears to the eyes OF
many.
Most of the boys were cheerful,
while some few looked somewhat
gloomy. Not that one could be
termed more brave than another-all
are not constituted alike and several
have wives and children to support.
All are determined that they will do,
and if necessary, die for the flag and
that when the victory has been won
and Cuba is free each member will
be sure of having done his duty.
1t was after eight o'clock when the
train left the depot, and as it left APP.

The development of the cotton
manufacturing industry in the South
seems to have brought with 1t de-
sire for the production of wool and
the introduction of wooden factories.
The Wool Record, a standard author
ity, commenting upon the rapid de-
velopment OF wool production in the
South, says: While it is not to be
expected that cotton-growing and
other agricultural pursuits are to be
displaced entirely by the wool-grow-
ing industry. it is evident from pres
ent conditions that great battle be,
tween wool and cotton is imminent
in the South. The development
and diversihcation of industries, both
manufacturing and agricultural in the
South has been very strongly marked
under the protective tariff, and as a
result the protective sentiment has
gained ground in that section very
rapidly.

The exports of agricultural products
in the eight months since the Diugley
law went into operation are more than
those of any full year during the oper-
atious of the Wilson law, despite the
assertion of the free traders that the
high tariff rates OF the Dingley law
would destroy our foreign markets for
American products.

The new protective tariff law does
not seem to have operated disadvan-
tageously to our export trade, although
its opponents predicted that this
would result. The official figures of
the Treasury Department show the
March exports to be SII2,SI7, S63,
against S87, 282, a47, in March Of last
year, under the Wilson law, and
against SOS, I6I ,S47 in March, 1895,
also under the low tarifft Wilson law.
Indeed, the March expectations under
the new law are heavier than those of
that month in any preceding year,
and while the bulk of these exports
come from the farmers ofthe country,

Those who remember the visit of
representative citizens of Argentina to
the United States a year ago will re-
call the fact that one member OF the
party, Editor Kleth. in his public ut
terances, bewailed the fact that the
United States was proposing to place
duty on hides and other articles Inn
ported from Argentina, and predicted,
in somewhat threatening tone, that
this action would result in a decrease
OF our commerce with that country.
The New York Commercial, a stand
ard publication Of matters pertaining
to international commerce, publishes
the following table, showing the ex-
ports from the United States to Ar
gentina, and the imports into the
United States from that country. Ii
will be seen by examination of the
table that both our exports to, and
imports from, that country increased
in 1897, as compared with any pre-
ceding year, showing that the threat
that the Dingley tariff would result
in reduction in our commerce with
that country, and especially in our
sales to its people. was an empty one.

Phil Scott had bought new black
band for his Sunday hat, making it,
after five years of service, conspicuous
by it's newness and also adding to the
dignity of this occasion, when he was
chief mourner in procession in which
his late wife Belinda was the central
figure.
Phil had always asserted his right to
be master in his own house. Belinda
had disputed this supremacy and the
result had been bitter warfare, which
was now settled by the demise of the
weaker party. Not that Belinda would
for a moment have admitted that the
phrase represented her, but it was sup
posed that her ears were forever deaf to
belligerent sounds. Indeed, Phils free
dom was already making it's effects visi-
BILE in a jauntiness of step that was
hardly in keeping with the services.
The procession was on foot and some
of Pills old friends officiated in carry
ing Belinda to her last resting place,
when, as they came to a turn in the
road, the foremost one stumbled and
dropped his end of the load. and the
next moment there was a crash, a
wreck, and Belinda, sitting up among
the debris, said, sharply:
Couldn't wait till was dead before
you went to buryin' me, Phil Scott"
There was a wild scene of terror and
confusion, but Phil was the first one
to recover from the shock and to assure
Belinda of his joy that she had only
been in a trance. He also alluded feel
ingly to the fortunate circumstance
that one of the bearers had stumbled.
a year or so later Belinda, whose tenn
per had not been at all improved by her
remarkable experience, really died, and
this time Phil waited until there could
be no doubt, and then gathered the
same friends under his roof for the
final services. AS before Belinda was
conveyed by hand, but the bearers took
particular pains, to be surefooted. AS
If this might not suffice, when they
reached the scene of their former mis-
hap Phil silently directed their atten-
ton to large sign nailed to a tree:

FAME's COST,

Oh, scorn not things Of low degree,
And sigh for wealth and state;
Far better court humility
Than burdens Of the great.
For he who wins ambitions fight
Can never be at ease;
He gains, tbs true, a worldly height,
But has a world to please.
For cares increase as honors grow,
And in his new estate
He finds, though bright those honors glow,
IT'S thraldom to be great
The hattererE that about him throng
Each has some dole to ask;
To please them is no idle song,
But a herculean task
We value things as they appear,
Nor count the cost nor pain
Which line the road to that bright sphere
The envied ones attain.
Fame is no royal heritage;
It's crowns are free to all;
But who its dizziest heights would gage
Must risk the dizziest fall
Then sigh not for ambitions need,
Its scepter and it's crown;
Uneasy lies the kingly head"
