North Penobscot counts among its citi-
zens a man with q versatility Of genius
which makes him q valuable man in the
community. Frank Perkins. says THE
AMERICAN correspondent, is a man for all
occasions. As doctor, surgeon, dentist,
pharmacist, fruit-desler, butcher, barber,
-heep-shesrer or musician, he turns his
hand As adroitiy as a specialist, and his
services are in constant demand. He can
shear more sheep, shave more faces, ex-
tract more teeth, dress more calves, play
for more dances, serve more patients, and
tell more good stories in a day than any
OF ner man in Hancock county.

A stone contractor has a flock OF sheep.
His brother is sheep-shearer and
stone-cutter. The brother Was asked IL
he would shear the sheep, whereupon he
made the following answer: mo, sir; not
a clip until you sign the bill OF prices. "
At last account the sheep were wearing
their winter clothing, with prospects OF
doing so all summer, unless the strike 10
settled. That's rough on the sheep.

The Bar Harbor Record suggests "Hamor
park" as an appropriate name for the
new public park in the village, in honor
OF Eben M. Hamor, that sterling citizen
OF Eden, of whom the Record says: "He Is
q man who has never been remiss In his
public duties, whose mind and heart have
always been broad enough to advocate
the interests Of the whole town OF Eden,
even when local jealousies were more pro-
nounced than at present; whose life,
public and private, has always been with
out reprosch." The Records suggestion
Is u good one.

A Big Pound Party.

A delightful POUND party was pulled
off at Mr. b. a. Gregory's home in the
West Springs section last Friday night.
IL was ore Of the most enjoyable enter
tainments that has been given in that
section, there were between so and 70
people present, the crowd was consid. .
erably augmented by representatives
from Union, Santuc, Carlisle, Cross
Keys, Jonesville and Spartanburg. The
crack string band from Glenn
Springs had been engaged for the oc-
e"';a,i- and furnished excellent music,
"hiie .te Sads and lasses tripped the light
lah'astlc toe, three Gets being on the
iloor at one time. 1t was a strictly m
TO Gate affair and was immensely
enjoyed by all present. A bounteous
supper was served to the guests which
was in k,epirg with tie occasion. and
to which the large gathering did ample
justice. No place like the country for
enjoyable sociab.es.

Southern Cotton Manufacture.

Mr. ID. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, n.
c., who is dealer in cotton mill ma
chinery, is interested in several cotton
mills, and is prObabl as web informed
as any ono in the Sonto as to the status
and prospects Of Southern textile manu-
facture, has recently given out an inter
view bristling with the facts and figures
which go to prove that the time i, not
far distant when the bulk CT the cotton
crop will DO manufactured where it is
grown. His figures are as follows: The
South has now in operation 5,000,OO0
spindles, while New England has l3, 900, :
900. There is practically no increase
in England, while the South will need
at least 100000 to equip the mills
to be completed this year. AS the en-
tire output OF spindles in the United
States is Only about 100000 year, i,
will be seen that the South is already
absorQing most of them. Tho increase
of new mills in the South will hardly
fall below 1000, 900 year any year du
ring the coming dacale, 50 that by 1910
the South will have some 2j,000, 900 il
operation and on this side of the water
there will be altogether more than ir
England.

Plenty of Lumber Now.

There has for some time passed been
scarcity of building lumber at this place
and people have complained that they
could not get lumber to keep up with
the demand for new buildings in the
town. We guess all pai ties can get sup
piled now, however, on short notice, we
notice that the Bailey Lumber Co. have
received at their lumber yard heA,y y
shipment of lumber. They have between
$4,000 and $4,000 feet of rough and some
10000 feet of dressed lumber, cars Of
lime, l car Of cement and car of lathcs,
and it seems they are eady to supply the
demand. Now let the good work OF
buildidg homes so on. Union needs
many more houses to supply the demand
of renters. There is no better invest
ment than to build cottages for rent in a
growing town like Union.

Can You Name The Streets?

Wonder why it is that the council do
not post the names of the different
streets? 1t would be matter of great
convenience to the public. We doubt
II on an average one of ten of the citizens
OF the town can name half dozen of
the streets. 1t would not cost more than
IS or $40, we imagine, to post the names
OF every sheet in the city. We have
never seen a town of any consequence
that did not have the names of the dir.
lerent streets posted On tie sides Of corner
buildings or in sbme other conspicuous
pace Union, Enough something of
ci'y Is q pack L@mber in this respect,
ana a Strangerhas no way of locating a
street wi'houtN inquiripg Of the citizens
ana then he may possibly be compelled
10 ask half a dozen before he gets the
desired information. Don't know the
names OF the streets of your own town,
funny isn't it? But how are we to learn
unless the names arc posted. We hore
our progressive city fathers W i'll see their
way clear to putting up these little boards
on every street.

South Carolina Cotton Mills.

South Carolina his already in opera-
ton most of the largest cotton mills in
The South, or rather, she has Il larger
portion OF the larger mills than any
other Southern State. During 1899
there were chartered in that State tven-
ty-sM mills, with "A capital stock Of ST.
G9O .OOO, and of these, sixteen were com
p'etcd. Other sixteen mills, already in
operation, have Geen enlarged to the cx =
tent OF several uIil!ions Of dollars, max
ing total investment in cotton manu-
iacture during the yesr of 9,079,OOO.
rren lIIIe seetIothiis nRGM RsGM S,pital came
nlsnen by home people who had already
reailZed from similar investments, or by
oIher home people who wished to share
III 'he prollts the sum accruing to such
investments. 1t will not be long before
South Carolina will be near the front as
a cotton manufacturing State. Already
nearly all the cotton grown there is man
ufacturs q ut home, which gives home
market Tor the product OF the sDil aud
a. ihe same time more than doubles the
vain" or that product before i: leaves
the state, besides furnishing employment
to thousands Of wage Gamers. Time
was, al u not so many years ago, when
the main effo.t of thousands of South
Car0linians seemed to be to get out of
the State; to go to Texas or some other
new territory. 1t is now exceedingly
rare to hear Of any sucl movement, rs
labor Is plentiful for all who are willing
to work and there is no inducement to
so elsewhere. 1t is rare to find an idle
man who is able TO work, unless he is
an imported tramp, and the acreage of
cottonmust be increased or South Caro-
lima must depend on her sister states to
furnish the raw staple for her mills.
ANA tnere IS no unhealthy boom"
aDoufthls; the growth in manufacturing
sound, supply following demafd' 1nTs
natural order. The best proof of this
is that there is no difficulty in disposing
of the product of the mills; and another
proof is that careful and discriminating
capitalists from other sections do not
hesitate to invest in South Carolina cot
ton mills.

THE PORTE
America Sends il an
UItimatum.
SMYRNA MAY Be SEIZED
But First Every Effort Will be Made
to Bring the Sultan to
Terms.

NEW YORK. April 1S.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The United States Charge d'Affaires
at Constantinople will be directed to
inform the Sultan that this Govern
ment must insist upon the payment
without further delay OF the 100000
indemnity for outrages on American
missionaries and destruction OF their
property, unless prompt action on the
Sultan's part anticipates the ultima
tum and the debt is discharged before
a resort Is made to drastic measures.
Several courses have been urged on
the President for the collection OF the
100000 indemnity which Is admitted
by the Sultan to be due to the Ameri-
can missionaries. Consideration has
been given to proposition to seize
the port of Smyrna and administer its
customs revenues until the judgment
and expenses of collection are cancel
ed. This course has not been wholly
abandoned in the remote contingency
that satisfaction is indefinitely delay
ed. 1t involves serious complications
in the Mediterranean, for which the
United States is extremely reluctant to
assume responsibility for the recovery
of so small an amount at the present
time
1t might precipitate war through
Turkeys sending some Of its Anticipated
warships to Smyrna to resist the tenn
porary American occupation. In that
event the necessity for sending large
fleet to the Mediterranean would Gre
ate alarm among the Powers and dis
turb the delicate equilibrium now ex-
listing in Europe.
Under the circumstances it has been
determined that diplomatic resources
will be first exhausted with confidence
that the Sultan will be brought to un-
derstand that his promises cannot be
lightly broken. The proved claims
against Turkey included about $500, 200
for the destruction Of property alone.
tically no dispute, there was added by
the Lentz claim Of $4,000, which was
presented by Secretary Olney.
Europe After the Porte.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1.-THE
Porte today replied to the third note of

The note announces the intention OF
the government to adhere to the plan
of increasing the duties on account OF
the bad condition OF Turkish finances.
The ambassadors have decided to ad-
dress another note to the Porte again
stating the objections to such an in
crease without a previous understand
ing with the powers. The tenacity of

results, IA 84
