Great Falls, March Among the
packages in a local express office is one
which has attracted considerable at
tention in the past two or three days.

crank are of one piece of wood, evident

Another package is a box, weighing
perhaps 200 pounds and marked for
Company I, Manila. The package is
said to contain a lot of books, maya
zines and other reading matter which
was collected some time ago in Lewis
town and shipped to this city for for
warding to the soldier boys upon the
misunderstanding that the transporta-
ton on such matter was free. 1t was
found however that the express charges
on the box between this city and its
destination would be something like $50
and the literature or some equally as
profitable could doubtless be purchased
in Manila for a small fraction of that
amount So the box lies here waiting
for something to turn up.

There's no end to the odd things that
vendors and fakirs sell in the city
streets; that is. things that seem odd
until one reflects tina; many of the
wants Of men are alike everywhere, in
town and country. and that among tie
myriads Of passers BY in "a busy city
street there are people who want pracii-
cally everything THAI is made. and who
WI buy a thing il it is presented to
view. Thus it always seems odd. how
ever often it may be seen, to see in a
busy city street a man standing on the
sidewalk Offering soldering irons for
sale, but in the constantly passing
throng there are some people. few at
least, who want soldering irUns.
Another thing that always locks cur
iOuS in a busy street s 'the pushcaIt full
of files: all sorts and sizes of files: but
there must be a demand for them CT the
man wouldn't come back. Standing on
the curbstOnc, facing the sidewalks. in
a downtown street the Other day was
Il man selling shears: nothing but
shears. He held up his hands With
shears hanging on his fingers to catch
the eye from among those passing there
Of anybody who happened to want
shears.
There was a man standing on little
pile Of boards in Il waterside street the
other day cling carving knives and
forks. The fork was made Of a single
piece of steel wire twisted into shape;
the knife had a Skelston handle of steel
riveted to the blade So they were not
costly to make. but they sold marvel
lousy cheap; and they went off like hot
cakes. And it might seem like a cur
ious place to bring carving knives and
forks to sell, down by the river anne nG

been becter place. These carving

COTTON CLAIMS.

Governor insolvency OF South
Carolina is heading a movement
that should command general
support. It relates to cotton
illegally seized during the "a
The word "illegally'' is used ad-
visedly, because the supreme
court of the United States has
also applied it to the seizure in
question. The money in question
arose from the sales of cotton so
seized, and it is in the federal
treasury, amounting to $1,000,
900, less the amounts that claim
ants with ''pull" have obtained.
Governor McSweeney wants the
claimants without pull, and es-
pecially the small claimants, to
have the money that is rightfully
due them. Where or how these
claims are now held is not stated,
but it is plain that the time has
come when the 1000, 900,
which is drawing no interest,
should be returned.
The Insolvency. movement
has no relation to another set Of
cotton claims amounting to $50,
100000. During several years
the government levied and col
lected a special tax on cotton. 1t
had collected, as stated, $3O,OOO,
900 in this way when the SUI
preme court of the United States
knocked the business in the head
by declaring it unconstitutional.
In all decency and justice the
money thus wrongfully and Ill
egally collected should have been
refunded a generation ago, but
much of it has not been. In the
course of time it will be, but at
present there is no movement in
that direction. Attention is called
to it simply for the purpose of
showing that the Insolvency.
; movement relates to cotton seized
and not to cotton taxes.
In both of these cases holders
Of large claims who car procure
the help of political influence, are
collecting their claims through
the passage of private bills, but
the passage Of such bills is a
scandalous piece of favorit1sm
and comparative injustice; and in
these days of heavy taxation and
a governmental surplus there is
no reason why the private bill
business should not be stopped,
and bills passed to refund the
entire amounts. For that matter
one bill would answer. One bill
would authorize the refunding of
the cotton-seizure money and the
cotton tax, each being alike i'll
egal, and each much needed by
the persons or their representa-
tives, from whom it was taken,

LAKE MARY IS PROSPEROUS.
Cattle Industry and other Business
Putting IL on a Boom.

Lake Mary, Fla. Aug. 31.-Just now
this hitherto quiet little station is the
center of a boom that gives promise ia
vorable to making this an important ship
ping point on the South Florida division
of the Plant System.
Already a large gang Of workmen are
here constructing a spur track from the
depot out to the proposed starch factory,
about a mile distant. This will be used
largely for bringing to the factory both
cassava roots for starch and stalk for
seed as the company have bought large
tract of land on which to grow cassava
for the factory.
This new concern has plenty of ready
money to erect buildings. put in machin-
cry and purchase cassava enough to begin
operations When in full blast it will
consume some 100 tons Of cassava day,
which means a good deal OF ready cash
for our farmers.
The last freeze hit the orange groves in
this vicinity very hard, and has given our
fruit growers and farmers a heavy up-hllt
pull this summer so that the coming of
the starch factory enterprise has given new
life to the entire community. 1t means
cash at the door for all the cassava they
can raise for the factory.
Another industry has been forced upon
our people, and one that is not only protlt-
able but brings the ready cash to the door.
That is cattle breeding for the Cuban mar
ket Heretofore only a few persons en-
gagged largely in this business in our sec
ton but this year the freeze and unprofit-
able vegetable crops have caused many to
engage in it. There is plenty of range, with
an abundance of water supply, and every
year in the future we shall be shipping
beef cattle to the Cuban market direct or
through buyers who are eager to take the
stock on the range and pay cash down.
Another industry has opened up here,
with headquarters in Sanford, of which
we are a suburb, in charge of George B.
Dickerson, which offers ready cash for
various medicinal roots and herbs, some
of which are plentiful in this vicinity This
industry simply requires the time TO dig or
gather these roots and herbs and deliver
them IN Sanford. For years past the men,
women and children of North Carolina
have gathered into their pockets thou
sands of dollars by the sale of medicinal
roots and herbs.
It is much easier to get ready cash
through such Industries than to trust veg
etable and melon and other cultivated
crops Many people of a thrifty DISPOSE
ton make money by drying blackberries
and huckleberries, as well as selling them
fresh in the market The farmers and
fruit growers of Florida must bring their
families to see the Importance of utilizing
all these little ready cash industries until
our orange trees come into bearing again.
