Vernon, July N.-(Special)-A few days since quite serious cutting affair occurred about fifteen miles east of this place in Fayette county. Will White was very se- riously if not fatally cut in the side and back by Eli Moseley. The defendant was arrested and released on a $2O0 bond for his appearance before the grand jury.
 On yesterday young man by the name of Cribbs was thrown from a wagon and had one leg and one arm broken. The accident occurred about three miles north of here.
 The crops have been seriously damaged by a long drouth and will necessarily be short, but with good seasons from now on they may do better than the outlook prom ises.
 The new railroad the Canton, Aberdeen and Nashville is now almost assured. The right of way is pretty well secured from Winfield to West Point, Miss, and it is given out that work will begin at an early day. shS1SfN
 This will be a very important railroad to this county, traversing 1t from north, east to southwest, distance of over thirty miles through well timbered and good farming country, running diagonally through the county directly by Vernon via Caledonia, Miss, to West Point, Miss.

$100, 900. It is understood that the "other considerations over the $1 900 mentioned in the deed are stock in the consolidated com pany, which Is capitalized at S14, 900. The Tyler plant Is in active and successful operation and it is evidently intended to continue 1t so. It Is new and up-to-date in every particular and Is more advantage ously located than three-fourths of the plants owned by the new company.
 The Anniston carpet mill is now in op- eration, having started up yesterday and Is manufacturing the first carpet ever made in the south, barring, of course, the old time rag carpet. The new mill starts with a full complement of operatives but they are all new to the work and will have to be instructed Experienced operatives have been sent down from Philadelphia to in- struct the inexperienced help. Later, as soon as 1t is demonstrated that sufficient competent help can be secured, the ca- pacity of the mill will be more than doubled. The grades of carpet to be made at the Anniston mill are three in number: Unions, an all cotton carpet; half-wool, and extra super, an all wool carpet.
 J. K. Dimmick, formerly vice-president and general manager of the American Pipe and Foundry company, which was merged into the United States Cast Iron Pipe Foun- dry company, the big pipe trust, has been made general manager of the Alabama di- vision of the new company, which embraces the Anniston, Bessemer and Bridgeport plants. His headquarters vii be here. D. R. F. Dimmick, resident manager of the Anniston plant for the old company, will hold a similar position under the new com pany, and John H. Goodapple, foremrly su- perintendent here, goes to Bessemer as resi- dent manager.
 Another special medical consultation has been held in the case of Mayor F. M. flight, who has been suffering for two months past with enlargement of the lymphatic glands. Some changes in treatment were decided upon, but Mayor Flights condition Is re- garded as extremely critical. The enlarge ments or tumors are increasing in size and number and Mayor Flights strength is very uncertain It is deemed impracticable and inadivasble to perform any further surgical operations.

-A---------------- AN TrNEX RAISE

A few years ago Collia F. Hunting tons private secretary, MT. Miles, asked for an increase in salary Do you need any more money?" asked MT Huntington thoughtfully. No, sir, don't exactly need it., replied Mir Miles, but still, I'd be glad to be get ting little more" "Ah-hum- m, /" unused hia employer, can you get along without the advance for the present." "Oh yes," answered the secretary, q guess so,' and the matter was dropped A couple of years later new boy appeared at the Miles home and the secretary thought the time propitious to renew the applica- tion. "Why, my dear sir said Mir Huntington, when he heard him through, '1 raised your salary when you asked me before" II never heard anything about it," said the sec retary In amazement Probably not" returned MT Huntingdon; "in fact, used that money to buy piece of prop erty for you. I'd just let it stand for awhile if I were you" MT. Miles thanked him warmly and retired some what mystified. Recently MT. Hunting ton called him into his private office, By the way, Miles" he said.

got to handle such ammunition with
 confidence. The nerves of all in the
 battery using it would be in a state of
 tension and their own weapons would
 be held in greater terror by the detach- ments than those of the enemy. It is something, therefore, that no accident occurred. and it is also satisfactory to find that the destructive effect of the great shells among buildings is as con- siderable as was expected.
 But heavy pieces of ordnance and
 weighty shells conveyed up a great waterway in vessels, and landed on one side of wide river, secure from attack, to lombard buildings on the other side,
 by no means supply an illustration as to field warfare in the future, or at least not one which we can regard as convincing. In an abnormal situation they accomplished what was expected from them, and deserve all credit for doing so, but we must none the less pro- test against the misleading lessons which are offered to the public by those who delight to make capital out of the latest novelty. We will do well to re- member the predictions years ago as to Greek fire,' the vaunted proweSs of the mttrailleuse and the appalling ail- tlcipations as to the Zalinslli gun. Men 1t is fairly safe to prophecy, will not been blown away in whole battalions in any campaign of the immediate future. While science on either side will neu- tralize itself, nerve, pluck. courage or whatever it may be called, will turn the scale, and he who in the future forgets human nature when making his calcu- lations will be a pedant rather than general, and will fail as ignominiously in the most modern battle as other pe- dants have failed in the closely locked struggles of the olden time.
 What we know of the destructive powers of modern weapons should en- courage us to foster and develop dlsci- pline and careful training, just as in the past the great leaders studied to bring them to perfection. If the man behind it can keep his head, the newest gun and rifle will indeed be formidable, but if no stout heart beats behind the butt, bullets will skim aimlessly and innocuously into space. and panic stricken herd with empty pouches will be slaughtered by cool, disciplined sol diers just as Alexander's well drilled phalanx made havoc among the Per sians. Caesars legion scattered the Gauls, or Kitckeners well drilled bat talons shot down the brave Dervishes the other day.-Saturday Review

APPEAL TO GRADUATES.
For a New and Larger Building for
 Hopkins.

For a New and Larger Building for
 Hopkins
 Hopkins Grammar School which commences its 240,h scholastic year. issues an appeal to the alumni and friends of the historic old school ask ing for approximately s40,000 to be used in erecting new school building farther removed from the center of the city than it's present location. The ap- peal to the former students of the school ia signed by Rec or George L. Fox and is in part as follows:
 The present building has long been unsatisfactory, and it is clear that the school can have no large growth until it can do it's work in a new building on new site. The present property is very desirable for the extension Of the University, and it would be much bet ter for the school to be located farther from the center of the city. With tue approval of the trustees, plans have been drawn for beautiful and we'll appointed building, costing from S30, GOO to 10000. This will be fully sufficient TOT the ScnOOl neeuS III lHe near Tu- ture; and will enable it to do a far bet ter work thereafter than it mas done in the past. Whatever friend or friends of Hopkins will give us the money for this purpose, vii benefit the city and University, and will place this historic school on a tism and lasting founda" tion, above the viniesitudea of fortune.
 With such a building, and a masters house large enDugn to accommodate 90 pupils the school might reasonably ex- pect, instead of sending lC to 20 boys to Yale College each year. to graduate 10 to 30, as it dil during the most proa- porous period of it's hist, ry.
 The value Ds an increased endow- rnent to enable the school to enlarge and strengthen it's usefulness goes without saving Compared with it's rivals, which are preparatory for Yae i x endowment Is very small, and 1t Is hardly to be 1"1ic1 that secondary schools which tra,n a boy at the most rlaetic and formative period of his life hitve as strong q lain upon the benevo- lence of generous sivars, as the higher institutions of learning.
