Although the appropriation of $780,
600, 900, which Congress has placed at
the disposal of the President, seems
like an immense sum, and indeed it is,
yet il is a small amount compared
with what some of the countries of
Europe are planning to expend dur
ing the coming year.
England, already with a navy equal
to the combined navies of any two
countries, is about to expend over
100000 900 on the army and navy,
while Russia will devote about $7O,
100000 to strengthening her navy,
and France, Germany and Italy are
all intending to make large increases
in their navies soon. These countries
are all in position where the instant
one starts to made any increase in
her army or navy the others must fol-
low. France and England are watch
ing to see that no movements are
made detrimental to their interests
in Africa, while England, Germany
and Russia are all interested in Chi
nese affairs. What the outcome of
the affair is to be is hard to tell, but
it seems that if the great expenditures
of money on the armies and navies
are to be continued that some of the
poorer countries will have to step
out of the race or else become bank
rupt.

In the debate upon the post Office
bill in the House Mr.. Griggs of Georgia
went out of the way to predict that
in the near future tho South would
manufacture as well as grow the cot
ton crop of the world. Mr.. Walker
of Massachusetts said in reply that it
was a happy day for the Republic
when a Southern member arose and
spoke of the great manufacturing in
dustries of the South in competition
with those of the North. 1t was day
we had been waiting for since the
Pilgrims landed. No section would
rejoice more that the South had en-
tered the lists than New England.

may have to lose some departments
of industry permanently, but we glory
in this Southern competition because
it shows the cementing of the common
country we love so WE'LL" Mr.. Walk
er is sometimes said to be erratic, but
nobody ever doubted the breadth of
his mind, his courage, or his honesty
in his convictions. What he said upon
this occ asion has in it the true spirit
of patriotism that embraces the whole
country, and not only his part of it,
and it fairly earned the applause with
which it was received.-Transcrip

Interest in Progress.

Away back before the war there vas started in St. Louis by two enterprising business men 2 stove company which has developed into one of the largest in the world. It is the Wrought Iron Range Co.,, who now have in Brinkley small army of sales men selling their celebrated Home Comfort Ranges. The salesmen are in charge of Division Supt. J. C. Raines, a very agreeable and business-like little gentleman, who has been with the Company for the past 15 years. The city salesroom and display is in charge of salesman Blackwell The dis play is splendid one and is at tracing quite a number of people from far and near. It is indeed
 
 interesting as well as instructive to hear the lecture and claims of the salesman as they tell and show why the Home Comfort is the best range on earth. They have sever- al car loads of their ranges here and are using this as division depot. The crowd of salesmen from Snpt, Raines on down, IS the most gentlemanly ser of men that we have had visit Brinkley for scme time past and if they do xot sell Ranges, it will not be tholr fault.
