Cotton Mills in the South.

Those who have been reading the
letters of H III. Hargrove, staff cor
respondent of the Picayune, are uni
versally of the opinion that the one
thing needful to build up the South,
or at least the cotton growing coun-
try, is the establishment of cotton
mills at different points. The big
mills in the New England towns are
what has made that section rich and
the only way for the south to get her
money out of cotton is to manufac
ture the cloth. In support of the as
sertion that there is money to be made
from these mills we quote an item
from the Corsicana Sun as follows:
IAN elderly gentleman, OF Geor-
gia, was in the city this morning. He
comes to Texas to visit his sons, who
are in business in this state. In
speaking Of Georgia he remarked that
the greatest advantage to that state
just now is the cotton mills. He
stated that he owns $4,000 in a
Georgia cotton mill that has for three
years paid him an annual dividend of
So, 400. Such institutions would pay
as well in Texas and Navarro coun-
ty."
Such figures seem to be out of all
proportion, and yet it is simply be-.
cause there is not a realization of the
condition of affairs that there are not
mills throughout the Southern coun-
try today. Twenty-four per cent is
pretty good return on IN invest
ment and the next few years will see
the establishment of several new mills
through the South. Then will cotton
be worth more than four cents, and
then will the planter receive proper
compensation for his work Crowley

Good Biblical Advice.

An old newspaper man, who no
doubt has seen all sides of life, be-
came at last very reflective and I'M
dulges in some good Biblical advice.
He says;
"If you are down with the blues,
read the twenty-seventh Psalm. If
there is a chilly sensation about the
heart, read the third chapter Of Reye-
lations. Ii you don't know where to
look for the months rent that is now
due, read the thirty-seventh Psalm.
If the stove-pipe has fallen down and
the cook gone off to pout, put up the
pipe, wash your hands and then read
the third chapter of james. It you
find yourself losing confidence in
men, read the thirteenth chapter Of
First Corinthians. Ifpeople pelt you
with hard words, read the fourteenth
chapter of John. If you are getting
discouraged about your business, read
the one hundred and twenty-sixth
Psalm, the fourth chapter Of Gala
tians, verses I to9. If you are out
of sorts, read the twelfth chapter OF
Hebrews. If you find yourself losing
confidence in your christian profes-
sion read fifty-third chapter of Isaiah.
And if your mind runs towards
swindling somebody, read the ten
commandments, and pay the printer
first.

A Feasible Suggestion.

The city railroans have been agi-
tating for long time the removal OF
the Henry Clay statue, an historical
land mark from Canal street and the
city council is about to comply as
strong. pressure has been brought to
bear. A correspondent in a late is
sue of the Picaynne made sensible
and feasible suggestion which appears
to be simple solution of this long
pending question. He suggests that 9
triumphal arch be built to mark the
spot where the heroes fell on the 14th
Of September and put the statue on
top Of the arch, letting the railroads
and the city each pay half, or in lieu
of the city not caring to do so, a pop
ular subscription be raised for the
purpose. Natchitoches Enterprise.

A Timely Discovery.

Evertt Bevan, dealer in ice, cele-
brated the hottest day of the year
yesterday by filing applications for
letters patent covering most timely
discovery. He has, after three. years
experiment found "a preparation which
will keep ice from melting and make
it as stable an article as rock. He
exhibits three blocks of ice with the
preparation which have been sub
jected to the rays of the sun for three
months and are still as large as they
were originally. The coating is a
liquid which looks like water. 1t has
no odor, has practically no taste and
examinations show that it contains no
ingredients which would be injurious
if taken inwardly. When it is put
over the ice it can hardly be noticed.
It dries and defes the action of the
sun. BeVan has been student of
the subject for several years. He has
found two. or three solutions which
would probably do the work but they
have been Objectionable because they
contained some highly odorous or
poisonous ingredients. - Anderson,

icle.

A big oil deal has just been con-
Guided in this county and the money
has been paid over. BY it the Bat
telle Oil Company gives up to the

LODGED IN JAIL.
Dutch Shanes is behind the
Bars Here.

Cuts Couple OF Young Men near Pene-
town BAD man with bad record
Arrested in Marion county-What he
has been doing in the upper end OF
this county.
William Shanes of the upper end
of the county is in Jail again. He
was brought in on Saturday after
noon and lodged in the county bas-
tile ON the charge of carving several
people in the. neck of woods from
which he halls Williams other
name is Dutch and he is better
known by this than by the frontal
name with which he began business
in this sinful vale OF tears.
There was dance ON Jake's Run
on the evening of Saturday, August
fifth and one OF the guests was Mr..
Shanes. Two others were Messrs.
Thomas and Sherman Tenant who
were the individuals earressed by
Shanes when the row started.
Shanes according to the reports
in the case was the aggressor and
the Tenants tried to get away from
him from first to last. He had been
bullying a younger brother OF the
Tenants and they called to the
boy to get away Shanes turned on
them and cut them both severely be-
fore they could get beyond his reach.
Thomas received cut over the
shoulder that required eight stitch
es to close and Sherman received
deep stab in the side. Shanes left
them after this and pulled up stakes.
He went TO Marion county where he
was arrested on Friday evening BY
Deputy Sheriff Dick Price who went
in single handed and put hand cuffs
on the fellow
He resisted stoutly but Price
threw him to the floor and soon had
him cnffed He was brought to
Mooresville and had preliminary
hearing before Squire Wildman who
committed him to jail TO await the
action Of the grand jury. He was
bronghtin on Saturday afternoon by
Price and Constable Moore. Prose
cutor Lazzelle attended the hearing
nd came in with the party.
The cutting took place within
short distance of the place at which
William Moore was killed on Christ
mas. Shanes is bad man and has
served time in the Allegheny peni-
Tertiary. There are several warrants
in the hands of the officers here for
him and he is feared all over that
section of the country. A year or so
ago he shot a policeman and boy
in Greene county and.a few weeks
ago he shot policeman's hat off in
Fairmont.

GRACEFUL TRIBUTE.
What The Peasants County Papers Say
of The Vice President of the Univer-

Prof, r. A. Armstrong of the Uni
versity gave reading at ST. Mary's,
Peasants county and the Oracle of
that place has the following compli-
mentary things to say Of his appear
ance;
An appreciatiye audience was at the
Episcopal Church last Friday night,
attending the literary and musical en-
tertainment. Prof. r. A. Armstrong,
Vice President of the University, gave
excellent readings from Shakespeare
and the Bible. This was the first
time the Professor attempted anything
different from lecturing, but he won
unbounded applause.
No one Of the entire educational
force of West Virginia has 50 warm a
corner in the hearts of the people of
Peasants county as Prof. Armstrong.
These expressions of esteem are
peculiarly gratifying to the many
friends of the genial professor who
has place in the hearts of people in
Morgantown that may well be envied.
He is one of the hardest workers in
the faculty and constantly keeps the
best interests of the University before
him.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Commander Forse, of the Navy
in Morgantown.

Several Others in the Party The Com
mander interested In Chadwick Dav
Thinks Dewey aud Mckinley may
come-Something about the man and
his Services Classmate of Comman-
der Brown.
Commander G. r. Forse of the u. S.
Navy together With Mrs. Forsc, Miss
M. e. Forse, G. III. III. Forse and Miss
Mary Scott are at the Peabody. They
came from Pittsburg on Saturday eve
ming aud will spend several days in
this vicinity enjoying the outing and
meeting many relatives Of the family.
Commander Forse is nephew of ST.
mon l.. Boyers OF Randall.
A brother OF the Commander was
killed at San Juan. This was Major
Forse of the army. He was recently
brought home and inferred at Arling-
ton. The account or the death of
this gallan. officer was given in this
paper at the time it occurred
Commander Forse was classmate
Of Commander Brown and they made
their first cruise together Their
meeting here was unexpected and they
have been enjoying it to the utmost.
They graduated from the Academy in
1868.
The long wait before the mouth of
the harbor at Santiago was very te-
dious one and the men grew very tired
of 1t before it was over but they felt
all the time that their opponent had
only one thing before him and that
was humiliation. The Spaniards
were known to be no matches for the
Americans and the latter felt the
deepest pity for the brave men that
had to oppose them without adequate
means Of doing it.
The Commander OF the Colon told
Commander Forse that he had never
had target practice on account OF the
lack of money The battery of this
vessel had never been placed on it and
many of the men had never seen agun
fred. The Americans on the contrary
were engaged in target practice regu-
larry and were experts. The outcome
Of the fight was consequently seen far
in advance.
The Commander took interest in the
preparation for the sword presentation
to Chadwick and was very glad to hear
Of it. He stated that Chadwick had
very hard work to perform during
which his ship was flagship OF the
squadron with all that that implies.
He thought that it would not be an i'm
possibility to get Mckinley and Dewey
TO come TO attend the celebration ON
account of the friendship that exists
between Commander Brown and the
hero of Manila.
With the party is Miss Mary Scott
who has taken more University de-
grees than any other woman In Amer
lea. She is now lecturing in Old En-
glish at Smiths University and is a
graduate of Vassar, Bryn Mawr, and
Cambridge, England. besides having
been a Fellow at Yale. With all her
attachments and higher education she
is not in favor of the higher educa-
tion Of women.
The distinguished visitors will be
in Morgantown for several days yet,
and we hope that they will enjoy
their visit to the greatest possible ex-
tent.
