the dealer who bought them and
had to give them up would not be

those gentlemen who had settled
for the same would lose what money
they had paid and the cigars too,

COTTON MILL BOOM,
How Population is Increased and
Hundreds Given Employment
By Them.

Below we copy item from GeOr-
gia exchange, telling how a cotton
factory is booming former home
of the editor of this paper, West
Point, Georgia, has had two or
three cotton factories for years
past and they were ever the pride
and main stay of the town, We
we're in the newspaper business
there for three years, and know
what we are talking about, Mills
always paid well, besides giving
employment to hundreds of hands,
and increasing the population. Mr..
Lafayette Lanier, spoken of in the
article below, is an old friend OF
ours, and we are indeed glad to see
him at the head of second and
still larger cotton mill, and hope it
will prosper. We ask our business
men and citizens generally, to care
fully digest the facts stated in the
article, and to think how big cot
ton factory like one spoken of
would boom TexarkaHa, and bring
to her more permanent prosperity
than any other one thing. Here
is the article which speaks for
itself:
Mr.. L. Lanier, president of the
Lanier mills, returned Monday
from Boston, where he has been
making preparations for the con-
struction of the new mill to be
erected here. The contract has
been let to the Flint Construction
company, of Boston, who are to
have the main building ready for
the reception of machinery early
in September. The original plans
have been enlarged until the new
mill will have 35, 900 spindles instead
of $4,000, as originally intended.
The number of looms has been in
creased from $40 to 1000 and the
mill will require a force of nearly
1000 hands to operate it, The ma
chinery has all been purchased and
will arrive as soon as the roof is on
the building. Bids are now being
received by Mr.. Lanier for the con-
struction of 200 new cottages to
accommodate the army of people
which will be added to the popnla-
tion as direct result of this new
enterprise. Real estate has ad-
vanced nearly 100 per cent iu value
and all kinds of business has re-
ceived an impetus which has glad
dened the hearts of the merchants.

Talk about your fast trains max
ing time, the Iron Mountain has
determined to put on passenger
service between Texarkana and st.

The train will make its initial
trip next Monday, May 8, arriving
at nine o'clock a. m. after having
pulled out Of st. Louis at 2:21 p. m.
of the previous day.
Direct communication will be
made at this point with trains leav-
ing here for southern and gulf
points and this will put a tourist in
any OF the southern cities reached
from rail connections some SIX or
eight hours ahead of any other
service now had.
The Iron Mountain has been over
hauling its track from end to end
placing down new and heavier steel
and working on bridges and tres
ties where repairs are needed, and
they can safely run trains on the
schedule now adopted for the fast
flyer,
Our people will hail the new SER

Calhoun Chronicle
We do not know what motive r. Ad.
Hall, of the Independent, had in setting
on foot the present asylum investiga-
ton. But one thing we do know, and
that is that there is more than just
cause for turning on the light While
the board may whitewash the matter
the rotten scales will certainly be visi-
Bile to an enlightened public, and Hall
and those conducting the prosecution
will be held in grateful remembrance
by all of the good citizens of this State.
Be it remembered that Hall is editor,
proprietor and publisher of one of the
hottest Republican sheets in the State.
We have never admired his politics,
but we have always respected him for
having the courage Of his convictions
and the universal rule of fighting any
thing that appeared to be wrong. This
country is greatly in need of more jour-
nalists like Hail.

WELDING TIE Ak AT WESTON

superintendent Stathers, of the Wes-
ton asylum, seems determined to allow
no man who testified against him in
the recent investigation to escape.
Hence, A. G. DeFoe, of Wayne county,
Walter Brown, of Braxton, Painter,
Yoke and Attendant Davis, all within
the past two or three days have been
removed from their positions in the
asylum.
Their offense consisted in testifying
at the recent trial that they would be-
lieve Mrs. Sommerville and Miss Will
son on oath or otherwise, while the de-
tense was trying to impeach the reputa-
tions of those witnesses for truth and
veracity and thus discredit their dam
aging testimony against the Superin-
tendent.
Whether this sort of thing is wise
policy from DR.. Stathers's point of view
remains to be seen. 1t will strike most
people that the Doctor should be fully
satisfied with his official acquittal ard
quite content to let it go at that.

The word went forth from Weston
on Saturday that DR.. Stathers was ac-
quilted But it was misnomer and a
travesty on impartial trials to an
nounce that he was acquitted. At no
time was it ever intended that there
should be such an investigation as
would result in conviction. Had the
accused admitted the truth of every
charge preferred against him it is UNI
likely that any other conclusion than
acquittal would have been declared by
the Board of Directors. There was no
trial in the sense signified by the use OF
that term. The Board of Directors
heard some evidence for forms sake,
and went through a pretence of exam
lining witnesses that the public might
be deluded into the belief that the hear
ing had been full and complete and sat-
isfying, but so far as the result was
concerned it was determined before the
board assembled that regardless of dis
closures of the evidence there should
be no finding of guilty against the ac-
cused. AS conclusive on this point we
mention the fact that some members of
the board did not attend the hearing
until it was at least half over, did not
hear some of the most important and
convincing evidence, refused to hear ar
gument on the fact and the law, did
not know the nature of much of the
evidence, never heard it or read it, ana
yet Immediately on the close of the ex-
animation they cast their votes in favor
of the accused.

Investigation in the McGraw-Scoit
contest will continue till Congress
meets. OF course there are many who
think McGraw is making this contest
for personal benefit, but this is mis-
take. Should Scott be unseated it
would simply result in vacancy in
the Senate, for no one was legally elect
ed. There is no selfish motive connect
ed with this action of Mr.. McGraw. He
is acting in behalf of his party and
State, and thinks it his duty as citi-
zen of West Virginia to prevent the
success of such schemes the Repub,i-
cans used in their attempt to elect Mr..
Scott Senator last winter.

rHE RorrEN CARTER SCANDAL.

TIE ROTTEN CARTER SCANDAL.
It is safe to say that the majority
of the intelligent American people un-
derstand by this time why the Presl-
dent has resorted to such unprecedent-
ed measures to delay final action on
the finding of the courtmartial in the
case of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, the
papers in which he first submitted to
Judge Edmunds, who was unable to
pick flaw in them, and then had his
Attorney General pigeon-hole them in
his office, where they are now, although
it has been something like two years
since Carriers conviction of embezzle-
ment and sentence to be disgraced,
cashiered, fined and imprisoned in the
penitentiary. During this time off,
GERS courtmartialed for far less grave
crimes have been convicted, had their
sentences promptly approved and are
now undergoing punishment. More
over, whatever decision the Attorney
General may reach. in this case can
have no binding effect whatever, ac-
eording to military legal authority.
while the submission of a courtmartlal
case to that official is entirely unpre-
cedented and irregular, as every act Of
the President in this case has been be-
ginning with his refusal to allow the
papers to go through army headquar-
ters Paragraph 500. article 70, Army
Regulations, reads: "The reports
which the Judge Advocate General may
render upon cases received by him and
which require action by the President,
will be addressed to the Secretary of
War and will be forwarded through
the commanding general for such re-
marks and recommendation as he may
see fit to make"
The Carter case was never referred
to Gen. Miles for his Endorsement. The
papers have been confined to the small
est possible circle.
The reason for these gross Irregular
itfes and the unprecedented delay is,
as we have said, perfectly understood
now by intelligent people. The pur-
pose of the President is plainly to
shield certain New York contractors,
and prominent New York Democratic
politician and friend of Platt, who be-
trayed his party in 1895 and comprised
the election of Mr.. Roosevelt. Car
ter's share in the case has been proven,
but his accessories in the theft Of this
$1,600,000 have thus far been shielded
There was much more than $1,600000
stolen, but the statute of limitations
has barred all but the S1,600,O00 in
volved in the present case.
If President Mckinley can delay the
Carter case until December the statute
of limitations will bar the prosecution
of Mr. McKinley's New York friends
And this it is no longer any secret is
the motive for the delay in the Carter
case.
The pious man in the White House
desires to shield criminals who have
a pull" The pull being mighty
with Mr. Mckinley.
This act by the very man whose ex-
allied Office should make him of all
men the first to stand for vindication
of the law and the punishment of
crime, is entirely in keeping with the
policy of the administration in such
matters and with the character Of Will
linn Mckinley
