their home in Paris. Lynch resigned from
his New York clubs, the Catholic, Down
town and Field and Marine, and announced
his intention of living permanently abroad.
''For self-protection,' Mrs. Lynch says
she now intends to obtain limited divorce,
as she is a Catholic and the church forbids
an absolute divorce.
All the testimony win be taken in France,
as Mrs. Lynch is anxious to avoid pub
LEFTY. A referee can be appointed by the
New York courts who will hear the testi-
mony in Paris and report in this city. Mrs.

Winter Wheat and Trade Activity.

Prices of wheat are, receding, although
the government estimates the yield of win
ter wheat at S2OOOO.Oo0 bushels, a loss Of
GO,0Oo,OO0 bushels from the production of
last year. But the conditions of growth
are very favorable and the anucipations
of a crop of spring wheat equal to that Of
last year, 295,OOO,OOo bushels, together with
better crops in the other. wheat growing
countries, all, combined cause the. wheat
market to have bearlsh tendency.
The government crop report is full of.
contradictions. ohio's. percentage is given.
as So, although Michigan on the one side
Is marked down to 60; and Indiana on the
other side to 6S. The crop in Oklahoma
is said to stand at sc, and yet that of Kan
sas' on the one side is reported at 6f, and
of Texas op the other at CT. 1t is con-
ceded that California has great crop. The
winter wheat crop of last summer was $685.

AaSPRINGLET
Colorado Springs Gazette.


When the early. robin singeth;
And the buzzing beetle wingeth,
When the happy fellow clingeth to the
bleachers at the game;
When the daily rainlet droppeth,
And the festive furnace stoppeth.
When the budding verdure- toppeths every
tree-sweet spring has came.
When the tiny grasslet sprouteth,
And the iceman gayly shouteth.
When. the pretty maiden pouteth. and for
shirt waists doth declaim;
When the sweet peaiseedlet groweth,
And the Kansas cyclone bloweth.
That's when everybody knoweth that the
balmy spring has camel
When the first wild flower arriveth,
And the speony young man driveth,
When the restless man conn:veth to alfish-
ing trip proclaim;
When the nocturnal Tabby howleth,
AS upon the fence she prowleth
When the gloomy coachman scowleth, we're
aware that spring has came!
When the sarsaparilla cometh.
And the guitar softly strummeth,
When the loony poet hummeth in the hope
of Worldwide fame;
When to work nobody leaneth,i
And the lusty maiden cleaneth
All the house, it merely meaneth that the
joyous spring has came!

A Thousand-BaIe Cotton Mill.

The town that receives and forwards to
market one thousand bales of cotton can
) turn those bales into standard sheeings by
building a small mill. Such mill would
contain 2,2SS spindles and 76 looms. The
Tradesman presents the matter of building
such mill in detail. The machinery would
cost $27 $50; the buildings, including the
shafting heating, lighting and. plumbing,
$S,OO0 and the power plant, 11O-horse pow
er. 81 800; incidentials, $1100-bringing the
total cost up to $S9, 4SO. The building should
be two-stories. in height and 4sx100 feet in
dimensions.
The production of such a plant would be
% $50 yards week, thus quadrupling the
value to the community of the one thous-
and bales. The help required would con-
sist of 4S hands at $236 a week; the superin-
tendent would receive s24 week; the over
seers $2.25 a day; and the other hands
would receive from 60 cents to 81 day.
Some would be paid by piece work.
In estimating the product of mill it is
safe to expect 425 pounds of cloth from
every bale Weighing five hundred pounds
The weight of standard shee;ings, thirty
six inches wide, is 2.s5 pounds to the yard
In this way one can ascertain what value
would be put into a bale or raw cotton in
the proposed mill.
While the cost of the mill would be but
s39.4SO, vet a working capital would be adj
visab.e, If the highest possible returns are
desired. Without a working capital. inter-
est must be paid, and this reduces profits.
Perhaps a total capital of $4,000 would be
advisable, and the gathering of such a cap
ital should be undertaken on the install
ment plan. man who agrees to take ST.
600 in the stock of the enterprise should be
given twenty-five weeks to pay the amount
in. This is the method now largely pur-
sued in North Carolina, and If the plan
could be introduced in this state, there Is
not a county in the state that need be
without, d cotton mill

ST. PETER Will NOT INQUIRE

From the Chattanooga Times.
Now that Rev. DR.. Briggs has been taken
into the Episcopal church there should be
comparative peace among the Presbyterian
brethren. The incident illustrates how very
wide apart the clergy may be on questions
of doctrine, and yet both right The Epis-
copalian sees nothing in DIR. Briggs views
to disqualify him for the pulpit, but the de-
vout Presbyterian sees in them rank her
esy. 1t all goes to show that st. Peter is
not going to be too very particular about in
quiring as to what church a man belongs
when he applies for admission at the
pearly gates.

BETTER THAN COTTON

From the Nashville American.
Up to Sunday the strawberry growers
around Chattanooga had shipped $1,000
crates of strawberries north receiving for
the same about $13O,OOO and the price this
year is unusually low, owing to the late
ness of the crop. The growers around Chat
tanooga alone will get something like $780,
600 for their crop. 1t is such facts as these
which should show the southern farmer
how much money there isn carly fruits and
vegetables.

TIE RACE QUESTION.
4 Disturbing Feature at the Sunday
School Convention at Atlanta.

The race question was disturbing
feature at Thursday morning S session
of the international Sunday school con-
vention. 1t made its appearance in
two ways-the eudeavor Of Georgia and
South Carolina negroes to pla colored
men ou the committee on nominations
with whites, and by reason Of the fact
that the convention in permitting ne
gro delegates to be seated with whites Is
violating not only the city ordinance
but the State law, which requires that
white and blacks be separated at all
public gatherings.
The trouble came up during the Sc
lection Of delegates to form the commit
tee on nominations. When Geogria
was reached on the roll call negro
delegate nominated Z. R. Carter, col
ored, of Atlanta, as Georgia's member
on the committee. This was objected

o.1 wee president Of the association,
who informed the convention that
Georgias choice was ". S. Whitman.
\ negro from South Carolina then
placed in nomination colored man
from his State. Considerable confusion
and excitement ensued. There were mo-
tions and counter motions in attempt 70
settle the matter, and, after a heated de-
bate, both whites and blacks we're elect
ed to the nomiUating committee.
This matter was hardly adjusted be-
fore the news that the police we're at
tempting to separate the whites and the
blacks spread. This brought out food
Of oratory on the question from both
! white and colored delegates. The pre-
siding. officer Mr. Green, said the matter
ii seating delegates was made plain tc
tie Northern delegates VIXEN the con,
vention was spoken OF for Atlanta, and
il was then perfectly satisfactory. A

OUR NOBLE DEAD.
Their Memory Hcnored by the United
States Army and Navy.

The feature Of memorial day ezer-
cises in Savannah Wednesday was the
presence at the head Of the procession
Of two companies Of the Second United
States Infantry (regulars) under COM
maad of Lieut. John L. Hines, and the
firing by that body of the customary
salute to the dead at the Confederate
monument in Forsyth park. The par
ticipation Of the regulars in the excer-
cises was somewhat unexpected. We'd
neSday morning the veterans associa-
ton having charge of the ceremonies
received tender of escort from the
regulars and quietly and cordially &c
cepted. This is probably the 6rsc time
in history when salute id honor of
dead CoDfederates has been fred by
regular troops Of the Federal army.
Following the regulars there were in
line the Confederate veterans, the local
militia and citizens.

py occasions that so frequently in the
past year have borne witness to the fact
that we are one great, loving, loyal ma.
ton united in the strongest bonds OF
patriotism and brotherly love. 1t was
with grateful hearts that Augustans
received the tender of the bands Of the

people as they saw in the same process
Sion the bands in blue and the Con-

the scene is engraved upon their mem

sacred pages III Augustus history.
