Notwithstanding the heinous offense of
which we had been guilty both the Of
ficers Of the ship and the officers of the
regiment did all that lay in their power
to make our forced detention pleasant as
possible Each of us had the choice of a
dozen beds to sleep in, cigars, cigarettes,
coffee, and in fact, everything that they
could offer was placed before us and we
settled down to tell them the news of the
world from which they had been so long
separated.
We were getting along in fine shape.
The cabin was filling up with tobacco
smoke, through which jest and stories
were flying thick and fast, when we were
again interrupted This time it was an
Examiner launch loaded with Alice Rix,
reporters and dog.
They all wanted to come right on board
and pleaded for recognition of passes
which they claimed they had from all
sorts and conditions of people in all kinds
and classes of authoritative positions.
But 1t was no go.
They were forced to content themselves
with talking through megaphone, ask
ing questions which no one on board I'M
derstood and receiving replies which were
not distinct enough to be ineligible.
After while they became tired and
went home. Then the Chronicle made
another try. This time it was Mabel
Craft who appeared. She stood on the
tugs deck and tried to convince the trans
ports officers that by allowing a repre-
sentative of her paper on board they

nothing would give them greater salts

obligation, and II the party would repeat

blessed one OF them was beaming.
There was one soldier 1 saw who was
not the only hero. He looked the long
depot over from end to end and shook
hands with acquaintance as absently as
il they were dream people. There was
somebody else he wanted
Somebody appeared at last She was
a little brown-eyed somebody who evil

ing on the arm of a gentle youth. Meas

pins, perhaps. The soldier boy looked
surprised. The somebody dragged for
ward the gentle youth and introduced
him with her eyes on the shiny floor. 1t
seemed to occur to the soldier boy for
the first time that changes may come

of his finger, which the quartermaster
stamped off as he put his hand over the
rail. We carefully searched or the
piece, but it was lost amid the crowd.
AS a matter OF fact the action of the
quartermaster was piece OF unWarrant-
ed brutality He could easily have kept
the reporter off without employing any
such violent means.
The excitement attending the repulse of
the Chronicle boarding party subsiding,
Britt was discovered dressed in a soldiers
uniform He resisted all opportunities to
take It off until he was told that 1t would
cost him five years on Alcatraz if one of
the military officers caught him in his
borrowed plumes. Then the uniform came
off so quickly that for very modesty one
of the men was forced to wrap him tenn
porarily in couple of old sacks.
Leaving Billy to attend to his toilet I
again went aft There l found that Ho-
mig. who is a lawyer as we'll as a reporter,
had SO tangled up in argument the man
by whom he had been placed under ar
rest that the fellow had actually been
brought to believe that he and not Ho-
mig was the person under restraint. AS
this was a very satisfactory arrange
ment he was not undeceived up to the
time he left the vessel and 1 have no
doubt that when he reads this article
he will receive the first intimation Of his
mistake
In the first few moments aboard all the
rush news had been gathered and now
there was nothing to do but to sit down
and wait for something to happen which
would either make US busy or release US

Never having heard most probably Of
the two gentlemen previously mention
ed, as being out of his class in the rival
line. Henry cannot, even by those most
envious of his present glory, be accused
of knowingly putting upon the stage Of
actual existence plagiarism or the
special turns" which gained those
mythical personages their wide renown.
Like them. however, he has engaged in
single combat with a fierce and raging
specimen of the bovine species, and
with his good right arm, assisted per-
haps somewhat by his left, has gained
a victory over his four-footed antago-

The bull in question was not
specially large one, but he was possess
ed of a great deal of stubbornness and
was of most excitable temperament.
Determining in his own heart that life
on the ocean wave was not desirable
for him, he decided not to board the
tug upon which Henry was helping TO
load his companions In misery on their
way to the Brunswick, but instead to
seek the bosky groves of East street
and rest beneath the shade of the trees

There was a girl on the boat Thursday
that I noticed. She had large, well-gloved

cool as a cucumber on the boat; so cool
that 1 fancied she merely wanted a snap

Colonel w. j. Bryan addressed
the Democratic county chairmen
at Des Moines on the afternoon
proceeding the recent State con-
ventlon. In conclusion he said;
eff the masses of the people ex-
pect to have anything to say in
shaping public policy. they must
contribute something toward pay
ing the legitimate expenses of con
Quoting the campaign. A dollar
apiece from every Democrat who
can afford it will never be missed
and will furnish a sufficient cam
paign fund to meet all expenses.
The idea should be impressed on
every Democrat,
Nobody knows better than Mr..
Bryan that the masses of the peo-
Pile" DO NOT have anything to do
with shaping public policy, except
the yelling and the voting. In all
his tons of correspondence upon
matters of public policy we will
venture to say that there is not
letter to a plain farmer or a labor
ing man asking for or suggesting
any plan of political campaign.
But we dearly lovea demagog, and
it is all right. From this appeal
we are panied to learn that the am
munition to hire political evange-
lists of our sort Is running short.
Our folks ought to put up. Chin
music of good quality costs some
thing. And how is the poor far
mer whose wheat and corn and
cattle are wiping out his mortga-
ges, and the cotton planter who
expected five and is only getting
eight and tend cents to know that
the hand of the oppressor is heavy
upon him, unless he chips in to
keep Mr.. Bryan on the roadl Lord |
bless the masses" who fail to ap |
preclate that to the oflice-seeking |
politician the term only means |
them asses. "-Greenville Spirit. |

MiIllons Tor southern Cotton Mlrs.

Millions Tor Southern Cotton Mills
\ movement of vast Importance
to the South is now taking shape
in New York, 1t is the formation
of II syndicate to purchase out
right and pay cash for good South
ern cotton mills, and then to com
bine them, with view TO develop
ing their trade to the utmost and
giving especial attention to the
upbullding of the export business,
Mcssrs. Thomas Branch q Co.,
bankers OF Richmond, Va, have
for some time been securing OPP
tions on n large number of lead
ing Southern mills, and they have
now made II contract with Mr..
Charles Il. Flint of New York and
and his associates, representing
the heaviest financial interests OF
that city. who have agreed to fur
nish all of the capital needed for
this undertaking. This contract
provides that the options shall be
deposited with one of the largest
and strongest trust companies in
New York. The syndicate has
agreed that it will pay all cash for
the stock of such mills as are
taken. The great wealth and
business connections of Branch &
Co., who represent the Southern
end of this work, and the wealth
and position OF Mr.. Flint and his
New York associates, it is safe to
say, insure success, even should
the undertaking eventually rep
resent 500, 900, 900 to 500, 900, 900
of capital, as is now expected.
From such information as the
Manufacturers Record has gath
cred, this will represent one of
the largest industrial operations
organized in the country, and by
far the largest ever undertaken IN
the South. Such u combination,
while in no way interfering with
independent mills whose stock
holders do not care to sell, will
have sufficient capital to push this
industry to the utmost extent and
to materially aid in making the
South take its rightful place in the
teXtile-manufacturing interests OF
the world. Individual mills, es-
pecially the smaller ones, are ham
pered in trying to create a foreign
market for their goods, and how
ever valuable their stock may be
intrinsicalIy, 1t is not regarded as
good collateral outside Of their
own neighborhood, and there the
supply of money is often too linn
tied for its free use in securing
ing loans. But this combination
will have the capital and ability to
put its product in all the open
markets of the world, and its
stock will be listed IN New York
and elsewhere. The incoming to
the South of the millions of North
ern capital for the purchase of
these properties will turn loose
for other local enterprises vast
amount of local money now in
vested in these mills. 1t means
therefore, practical addition in
cash to the active capital Of the
South. OF course, the mills them
selves will in most cases probably
be run by the same men who now
control them, but by operating
under one general management
there will be a great decrease in
the cost of manufacturing and mar
keting goods. Considerable prog
rcss has already been made IN Sc
curing options on mills-enough,
1t is said, to insure the organiza-
ton of a very large company, and
all of the capital needed, however,
much may be required, has, it
is stated, been guaranteed,
