A BELIEVER IN COTTON MILLS.

JACKSON, Dec. 22.-Mr E. l.. Martin,
college at Macon, Ga, is visiting old
friends and relatives in this State. He
will of course be remembered as the
editor of the Mississippian, newspa-
per which, ten or twelve years ago,
made it's power felt in this neck O the
woods, and his old brother quill drivers
will be happy to learn that he has pros
pered and flourished like green bay
tree in his adopted home. He has in
vested very largely in cotton mills,
having nice blocks of stock in five diff
ferent mills and nothing to do except to
sit back and clip coupons at the end OF
the year. Some of the mills in which he
is interested have declared dividends of
q per cent. this year, and he expects
them to do still better in course of time,
as some of the mills in that State have
paid dividend as high as 54 per cent.
the second year of their existence. In
the city of Macon there are now seven
full fledged cotton mills, and the eighty
thousand bales of cotton heretofore re-
ceived by the town are not sufficient to
keep them running. Every one of the
mills at Macon have orders for as much
as six months ahead, and are taking
no more-in fact they have all turned
down thousands of dollars worth of
orders, though running day and night.
Mr. Martin is fully impressed with the
idea that the salvation of the State of
Mississippi lies in cotton factories and
urges that every community take hold
of the enterprise as have the different
towns of Georgia. Ninety odd mills
are now in operation in that State and
fifty or sixty others in course of con
struction or doubling capacity. y.-Jdck-
son Correspondent Vicksbarg Herald.
President Martin spent several days
visiting Brookhaven, his old home,
aud his old friends here rejoice to
know he is prospering in his adopted
State. ed" was delighted to note
the wonderful growth of Brookhaven
since his last visit and says the only
thing she lacks now to insure her per-
manent growth and prosperity is a
cotton mill.

bears full testimony.

BrOOkhaVen'S Way.

There is a great deal of talk up and
down the road about the wonderful
progress of Brookhaven, and people
wonder how it has made such rapid
strides. 1t has well been said that God
makes the country and man makes the
town. Brookhaven has the sort of men
and women that make town building
easy. They are intelligent and patri-
otic, and there is an absence of bicker-
ing that always insures success.-Pied-
yune's Mississippi Bureau.
You are correct, Bro. Wilson. Brook
havens people are pulling together for
the good of their town. They are proud
of her progress and steady growth and
numerous advantages over her less fa-
vored sisters and intend to keep NOV
ing right along the lines you commend

Hongkong direct tomorrow or
early on Wednesday morning.

no Chinese or Japanese, this trip,
and advance wages have been paid
in gold. We expect smooth sea
and fair weather all the way to
Hongkong, and we will maintain
10 knot speed all the way.
mo end of difficulty has been
experienced in securing a crew,
wages are so high on the coast
that it is almost impossible to
secure capable crew in this port.
"On the City of Columbia's ar
rival in Hongkong she will be
handed over to the Hongkong and
Whampao Dock Company for a
thorough overhauling which will
leave Der in A l condition, when
the vessel will be offered for
sale.
"In the event of an offer not
being made for the City of Colum-
bia, she will engage in traffic
between Hopgkong and Manila
where more steamers are needed ;
those running at present being in
capable of meeting requirements.
by the time that the Columbia
has secured the British Lloyds
Certificate, she will be as trim and
sea- worthy Graf, as could be de-
sired. She has FIVE years to run
yet on her first class register.
"Though Honolulu calls her
'hoodoo,' I know that there is q
bright future in store for City oil

Tho Small Farm.

The little farm must really be we'll
TILED. The owner must devise plans
that will enable him to proftably put
all the labor on it that is at his COM
mand. Any farm is too large if its
owner cannot farm it more extensive
ly than the average of the community,
for be it remembered that in farming
averages don't pay. The average crop
of corn doesn't pay, nor the average
dairy COW. Only those who do better
than the average make money. Any
farm is too small that does not profit
ably employ all the labor the farmer
has at his dlposal, it being under
stood, of course, that the farming is
to be well and thoroughly done. One
does not want to see how much he
can "scutch over", nor have a lot of
waste places lying around here and
there costing interest, taxes, repairs,
etc., and bringing in nothing to make
the payments with. Especially does
he not want lot of this land with q
mortgage on it.
Young farmers, too, should get over
the idea that they must either remain
hired hands or renters or else have
enough money or nerve to run in debt
to buy big farm. Men in other walks
of life have to begin in small way on
their own account, and why should
the young farmer hesitate to do so.
The chances are that if he buys what
perhaps seems to him to be small
place, and puts all his labor on it so
as to cultivate it good deal better
than the average about him, he will
have more money and will have had
more happiness and content at the end
of ten years than if he could have
started on larger scale.-Wisconsin

Engineers Tow a Queer Craft.

1t has been stated that one of the
leading qualities exhibited by elec-
trical engineers during the war was
readiness of resource. This is we'll
illustrated in story told by one of
the officers of the corps, says the
Boston Transcript. There was good
deal of uneasiness about that time
around Boston, ms no one knew but
that the Spanish feet was sailing
stright for the city, and shells might
be flying within twenty-four hours.
One Saturday morning orders came
down to squad of engineers to set
up before night complete isolated
plant for searchlight work on one of
the Notifications in the harbor. The
men in charge of getting the boiler
down the bay could get no suitable
lighter anywhere, so they simply
plugged the holes in the boiler, rolled
it off the pier, hitched it to tug, and
towed it down the harbor, kept aaoat
by the air inside it. The men who
had to take down the engine and
dynamo managed to get their ma
chimes landed, but there they waited,
with apparently no purpose of going
further.
On the whole island there was only
one truck strong enough to carry the
machines from the dock to the fort,
and that was in charge of an Irishman
in the employ of the city of Boston,
who doggedly maintained that he took
no orders except, from the city Off
cials, and the authority of the United
States Government was nothing to
him. 1t was already late in the after
noon, and there was no possibility of
reaching the Office of the authorities
in time to secure the permit. The
men simply took the driver to their
barracks, got him dead drunk and did
their own driving. And the search
light shone down the bay that night.
