The Egg Business.

The calico printing interest uses
over 100000 dozen eggs annually
while the coffee roasters, photo
graphic trade, the cracker combines,
and the chemical trade consume
twice as many. In fact the grocers
are compelled to compete in the gen.
eral market against buyers from a
dozen manufacturing interests.
America last year exported over
S20,OOp,OOO worth of eggs, but the
American egg had hardly any chance.
French, German and Canadian eggs
reached the foreign consuming mar
kets to the exclusion OF the American
article. This is due, say the leading
dealers, to the fact that under the
present tariff, Canada being unable
to ship eggs to this country, ships to
Europe.
The extent of the egg business in
this country, though not generally
known, is larger than many OF the
supposed great industries. The prof
its are much smaller and the TRANSACT
tons much quIcker.-Colman's Rural

MCMILLAN NOT SATISFIED.

He Replies to the Carson Appeal
During the trial of the Governor
ship contest the Carson Appeal never
missed an opportunity to say that Mr..
Mcmillan had the greatest confidence
In the fairness of the Supreme court
and was perfectly satisfied with the
business Of its rulings. Since the
decision was rendered, the Appeal es
the organ Of the Silver party has
represented Mr.. Mcmillan as being
the victim Of gang of unscrupuluus
politicians who forced him into the
contest to gain the object of their
personal ambitions at his expense.
1t has also repeatedly stated that
Mr.. Mcmillan has expressed himself
as beng perfectly satisfied with the
final decision Of the Court that gave
the Governorship to Mr.. Sadler.
These misrepresentation have finally
compelled Mr.. Mcmillan to set him.
self right before the people of the
State. This he does in a manly way
in the following letter to the Virginia
Enterprise:
Virginia, New, Oct. 81, 1899.
Editor Enterprise
My attention has been called to q
recent editorial in the Carson Appeal
L desire to state most positively that
1t mlsrepresents me in every part1cu-
lar. beg an the contest for the Gov
ernorship because l believed and
still believe that was legally elected.
L was not misled nor wrongly per-
suaded into beginning it. I have
never to my knowledge talked to any
one connected with the Appeal about
the decision Of the Supreme court.
l was told both before and during the
trial that craftsmanship, not law,
would control the decision. l leave
it to others to interpret the prophecy
In the light Of the history Of the case.
L have never expressed myself as sat-
isfied with the decision. l relied Mp
on the law rs decided in Sweeney
VS. HUI, and under that decision
l had a majority. That case was re.
versed. relied upon the opinion
rendered in overruling my objections
to certain acts Of officers III precincts
which gave Sadler a large majority
to sustain the validity of the red line
ballots ill Gold Hill. But that opin-
was never printed. That opinion was
rewritten and changed in many re-
spects in the decision that was finally
rendered and printed. Why it is nee.
essary in order to administer law and
justice to have these things done |
do not understand. Actual fraud was
not attempted to be proven, but many
illegal votes were found and many H.
legal ballots were rejected. Had all
and only illegal ballots been rejected
[ would be content. What | can't
explain is that no irregularity of any
election officer was found sufficient to
reject a single ballot Of my opponent,
and the irregular acts of election
officer was sufficient to reject many
votes honestly cast for me. am ig
norant OF the law and do not attempt
to criticlse the Supreme court. I do
feel, however, that the same rule of
decision was not applied to one side
as was enforced against the other.
may be mistaken, but have seen no
satisfactory explanation. Until that
it made palmer, 1 seriously object to
being represented as being satisfied
with the decision of the court.

BRITISH FORCES WIN.
BOERS MEET HEAVY REVERSE
AT BELMONT.
Both Sides Suffer Big Losses In Killed.
Wounded and Missing British Slight
~ Superior to Enemy i'm Numbers
Forty Beers Taken Prisoners.

A British victory in which the Imperial
army lost 225 officers and men in killed,
wounded and missing is the first result or
the beginning of the forward movement
in South Africa. Gen. Methuen's col
umn, advancing to the relief of kimber-
ley, encountered strong force of Beers
near Belmont and drove them from their
position after fierce battle lasting many
hours.
The official report to the war office
states that the republics forces were
routed. but gives no estimate OF the
Boer losses. On the British side three
officers and fifty-fve men were killed,
twenty-one officers and lbs men wound
ed. while eighteen of the rank and file
are listed as missing. Gen. Methuen
claims that the enemy carried away
large numbers of dead and wounded in
the retreat. Forty prisoners were taken
by the imperial forces.
The lighting appears to have been al
most "A repetition of the battle of Glands
laagte. A dispatch of the previous day
estimated that the Beers in that vicinity
numbered 1000 and that they had ive
guns. and, Judging from the absence OF
any statement to the contrary i'll the ON
cial report, it is believed that the British
were slightly superior in numbers to the
enemy.
The Beers had chosen position with
their customary skill and were strongly
intrenchcd. The British were obliged TO
carry three ridges in succession. Appar-
emily the guards bore the brunt in carry
ing the last ridge by Il bayonet charge
after it's defenders had been shaken
with slrapnel. Nothing is said as to
whether the positions so gained were
held and the destruction of ammunition
seems to indicate that the contrary was
the case.
While Gen. Methuen can be congratu-
lated upon brilliant victory, it is again
at the cost of u heavy loss of officers and
men.
The secretary of war in London has
received the following dispatch, through
Gen. ForestierW from Gen. Me-
thueu:
Attacked the enemy at daybreak. He
was in "a strong position. Three ridges
were carried in succession. the last at
tack being covered by shrapnel. lnfan-
try behaved splendidly and received sup
