Ice Cream Festival.

An ice cream festival took place at
the Company's mammoth store last Sat
urday evening. There was quite a large
crowd out eating ice cream and drinking
all kinds of soft drinks which Mr.. Cum
mings SO thoroughly understands how to
prepare. One can judge of the success
of the affair when Mr.. Cummings reports
that he served forty gallons of ice cream
and sold hundreds of drinks besides.
The festival was partially for the benz f. :,
of the Second Baptist and the Second
Methodist churches, as one-third of the
proceeds were divided between the two
churches. We understand another is to
be given next Saturday night. If you
want TO enjoy an hour in the evening 90
down, take some cream, a few drinks
and take look over the big store by
electric light. With their large electric
fans, ice cream and cold drinks they will
keep ) ou cool, for while at least.

Stables and Crib Burned.

Thursday night Of last week, about II
o'clock the cry of fire rang out OF our
quiet streets. The Mayors court was in
session, and the room was crowde with
witnesses and spectators. When the alarm
was given 1t created regular stampede,
and a rush was made for the door. The
court room was cleared instanter. 1t
was soon learned that the fire was owe r
at Mrs. Jeter's, beyondlthe factory, and
everybody had soon gathered around
the burning building, Judge, llwyers,
etc. The crowd got there too late to do
anything except tear down some fencing
to prevent the flames from getting to
another near building. The buildings
burned were two stables and crib.
Fortunately the buildings were empty,
excepting some shucks in the crib and a
calf In one Of the stables. The
calf was gotten out safe. The fire had
gained such headway that the buildings
fell in about the time the crowd got thore.
Only short while ago several bales of
cotton were stored under the shed of
these buildings, but fortunately it had
been moved out some days when the fire
occurred. 1t is always bad at best to
have our buildings destroyed hy fire, but
it is certainly streak OF luck that these
buildings were empty. The loss is
probably between $500 and $500. Mrs.
Jeter's family were awakened 10y tho
alarm bell over in town. 1t is not known
how tue fire originated, soms think it
the work Of an incendiary, Others think
1t was from tramps smoking pipes.
There had been no fire on that part of
the premises that day.

A Plant You Read About.

Mr.. Cummings, the affable and court
eous manager of the soda fountain and
ice cream business at the Company store
took us around through the lower regions
of the building, where he showed US his
den. Here is where he charges h 8
fountain, makes his syrups, mixes his
extracts, prepares his cream and churns
it. He has, we think we can say with
out successful contradiction, one of the
most thoroughly equipped plants in the
up country. He uses two mammoth
fre. zers holding twenty gallons each,
has fonr or five steel fountains connected
with the dispenser above-can freze
fifteen gallons of cream in thirty minutes
Can charge and empty his fountains
one at time without disco meeting or
touching them. He handles ten to
thirteen hundred pounds of ice daily
uses two fifteen gallon receptac!es to
keep sweet milk in, and the way he can
get about and wait On half dozen at
once and attend to all these things up
stairs ard down stairs, and still hold his
temper, and even have a pleasant word
and smile to a reporter who is nosing
around is q caution to snakes. There
may be other turtles in the tank ''may
be" but we don't know it. He is GER

thought they surely had room enough
with their enormous floor space up stairs,
down stairs AMI middle ways, possible
more than any two concerns in town
together, but we stepped in there few

learned they were not going to move,
that no cyclone had knocked the house
silly but they were simply clearing out
of the way of the carpenters who are
adding shelf upon shelf until the high
ceiling is reached. Expressing some sur
prise at this extraordinary shelf building,
we were informed that it meant shoes;
shoes for the rich, shoes for the poor,
from center to circumference, from door
to door. For old. for young, for large
or small, the Old Reliable can fit them
all. This extending of the shelf room tt
the ceiling will almost double theii
holding capacity. We understand boti
sides are going to be fixed the same way
This concern must surely he doiog s

expect it to be otherwise. Why? because

AMERICAN TRADE IN SCOTLAND
The Demand for Bolts and Nuts
Growing, Rapidly

Consul Fleming, at Edinburgh, writing to
the State Department. says that enquiry
has been made at his consulate by a whole
sale agent. handling largely bolts and nuts
and like articles. for the name and ad-
dress Of a company or firm in the United
States manufacturing bolts (round and
square. countersunk heads) and cold-cut
nuts. He wishes to obtain this particular
combination for the Scottish market
This business man informs him that the
American manufacturers are now pushing
the Germans very hard for the trade in
bolts and nuts in the United Kingdom
The importation OF these articles from the
United States began about eighteen months
ago. For many years, he says the German
manufacturers had little or no foreign
competition in these islands for machine
made bolts and nuts, and the British man
ufacturers could only hold the market for
the common square head bolts In 1897
bolts and nuts began to come from the
United States. and the trade has been
growing. OF late it has been Increasing
rapidly In this dealers opinion should
there be nc reduction of prices by the Ger
man and no increase CT prices by the
American manufacturers the latter will

OF gaining the market would be easier he
says if some CT the American bolt and

MR.. BRYAN'S NEW BOOK.
An Exhaustive Discussion of the Ex-
pansion Question.

Chicago. April 6.-Advance proofs of
William ]. Bryan's new book. entitled,
Republic or Empire-the Philippine Ques-
tion," have been given to the press. In his
new work Mr.. Bryan discusses territorial
expansion from every standpoint, and sup
plements his argument by quotations from
speeches by Senators Hoar, Teller, and
Daniel, and from the writings of Andrew
Carnegie. Imperialism" whites Mr.. Bry-
an, finds its inspiration in dollars. not in
duty" Further along he says:
Imperialism has been described as the
white mans burden But since it crushes
the wealth producer beneath an Increasing
weight of taxes, II might with more pro-
priety be called the poor mans load. >"
Mr.. Bryan also says that the purpose of
annexation is to apply TO the government
of the Philippines methods familiar to the
people of Europe and Asia. but new in the
United States. This departure from tradi-
tions was not authorized by the people;
whether IT Will be ratified by them remains
to be seen. The responsibility rests, first
upon Congress, and afterwsrd upon that
power which makes Congresses. Whatever
may be the wish OF individuals or the in
terests Of parties, we may rest assured that
the final disposition of the Philippine dues-
tion will conform to the deliberate judg-
ment of the voters, They constitute the
court of last resort from whose decision
there is no appeal"
