Branch in Winchester.

The Crawford Wooden Company, OF
this city, contemplates locating a branch
factory in Winchester, that, when going
az full capacity, will employ about fifty
male hands.
The company recently started branch
factory at Bartonsville, Va, using the old
wooden building which had been idle there
for some years.
They now find that the facilities at Bar
louisville are not sufficient to Justify the
constant running of the mills there and
they are considering the removal Of the
factory TO Winchester. The Crawford peo-
pie and a few Winchester capital
lists have conferred, and ittnere are any
reasonable inducements offered 10 the
proprietors the factory IT will be operated
there.
The renioteness of Bartonsville and the
lack of better railroad facilities, together
with a scarcity of wool at times, are
the principal reasons that they give for
the contemplated change Of location.
If they cannot come to an agreement
with the Winchester capitalists they will
probably remove the facto y closer to the
main factory IN this city.

How Founders Of the Republic Got
Their Views Printed.

The number Of letters written by
the fathers of the country during the
Revolution and the first twenty years
Of government under the Constitution
seems amazing at the present time.
Letter writing appears to have occu-
pied the place now taken by the pub
lie press. Letters of great length
were constantly passing from ono
leader to another 1t speaks volumes
for the industry of the men of the
time, for their letters we're all in hand
writing.
Those of Washington alone fill seven
large volumes, and throughout his
political career Jefferson was even
more active with his pen. Sometimes
when his letters were printed he must
have wished he had not been so free
Throughout his residence in France
he wrote most voluminously to Con
gress, his writings forming a running
history of the time in Europe After
his retirement to Monticello he con
tinued to write letters of great length
to his friends I'm all parts of the Union
and In this wise his influence re
mained nearly as great as when DC
was in oflice.-Chicago Tribune.

The Kansas City Democratic plat

same platform opposes legislation for

to leave the business in the hands of
foreign Chiefly British) ships that
earn 5000, 900, 900 a year that the Re
publicans are anxious to keep at home
through the construction and employ
ment of American instead of forei gn
ships in our foreign carrying.

The Republican policy of expan-
