STORE CLOSES At S p M, SATURDAYS EXCEPTED
THE RAILROADS.

The announcement published in the
Toledo Blade to the effect that the
Hooking Valley expects to begin the
survey OF connecting line with the
Chesapeake s. Ohio, is said to be an
other development in the effort Of ]. p.
Morgan syndicate to gain control of
the Ohio Central. There Is really no
other Interpretation OF this movement.
From apparently Hooking Valley
sources comes the statement that the
company wishes to gain an outlet to
the sea. But how about the Norfolk &
Western? Does not the Hooking Valley
connect with this road? Really the Nor
folk & Western Is the natural outlet for
the Hooking Valley, and heavy bus
lness goes that way from Toledo and
Michigan. This Is splendid line to the
sea, and the Hooking Valley needs no
other Quiet.
Two routes will be surveyed. Both OF
them reach the Chesapeake & Ohio In
such a manner Us to give the Hooking
Valley an entrance Into the West Vir-
ginIa coal fields. This Is the objective
point. Now the Hooking Valley Is han
dlcapped because It has not been able
to handle West Virginia coal, while thu
Ohio Central does. The owners OF the
Hooking Valley propose to Invade this
territory. In other words, IL Judge
Burke refuses to sell the Ohio Central.
], P. Morgan proposes to parallel the
Ohio Central Into the West Virginia
fields,

known as one Of the most progressive
business men OF Alabama, in addition
to his extensive cotton manufacturing
interests Is running what is said to be
one OF largest cotton ginning plants in

ough investigation of the Roundlap
bale in his mill, and recently publish
ed letter, in which he said that cotton
in this form was worth $500 a bale
more to his mill than square-bale cot
ton. Recently be telegraphed as fol-
lows:
CATER two years experience with the
Roundup bale Of the American Cotton
Company as manufacturer, can posi-
lively state that my experience is that
it can be sampled equally as well as the
square bale that it saves s per cent. In
waste that it unwinds to the core per-
fectiy, and saves much labor in the
ofenlng-room. Mixed or false packed
bales are meyer found. For the plant

1t would BIS but small cost, compar-
atively speaking, to build a cheap chap
Ell there and with such chapel the
Inmates of the home would have the
opportunity Of hearing preaching &C.

shall be a convenience for It.
Of course such chapel built at the
expense OF the county would have no

be open 10 all denominations alike.
It would be a timely thing, ana in
keeping with the spiri. of Him who
made the great sacrifice that the poor

IFHlTELA " REDS OPINION

Whitalaw Reid's ability and observa
tons need not be questioned by any
one, even though, he does not agree
with Mr.. Reid in politics.
In a speech at Miami University. at
Oxford, Ohio, few days ago, Mr.
Reid gave utterance to the following
striking expression touching America's
responsibility resulting from the war
with Spain:
We are actually responsible not
merely to the inhabitants and to our
own people, but, in international law,
70 the commerce, the travel, the civ
ihzatlon Of the world, Tor the preserya-
ton OF order and the protection Of
lie and property in Cuba, in Porto Ri
CO. IN Guam and il the Philippine
archipelago, intending that recent
haunt Of piracy, the Sulus. Nothing
IN human power can ever restore the
United States to the position 1t occu-
pied the day before Congress plunged
Us into the war with Spain or enable
US to escape what that war entailed.
NO matter what We wish, the old con
tinental Isolation is gone forever.
Whithersoever we turn now We must
do it with the burden OF our late acts
TO carry, the responsibility OF our new
position to assume"
