There seems to be q determination
upon the part Of some of the stock
holders Of the Pacolet Mills to resist
the building Of the big mill in Geor-
gia with the earnings Of the Pacolet
Mills in South Carolina. Mr.. Pclzer
has taken the matter to the courts.
He is willing to subscribe to the
building Of a mill in Georgia, but it
must be q separate organization. We
don't see why these men don't drop
the Georgia idea and build the mill
jim South Carolina, there is plenty
moro room here.

There has been some talk Of Gold
Democratic ticket being put up. But
with the overwhelming endorsement
that Bryan is receiving from all quar-
ters, it is not likely that this will be
done. 1t would be very foolish
thing on the part of the Democrats
to do and would simply be playing
into the hands Of the Republicans,
who would no doubt rejoice to sec
such ticket put up by the Demo
crats

Mr.. j. 7. Fowler informs us that
the wheat ia his section is about al
harvested, and while the yield is
fairly good it is hardly as good as was
expected. The heads were small and
not very we'll filled. There was more
planted however than usual, and
there will be- plenty Of homemade
flour in the country. Mr.. Fowler
thinks that mistake was made by
some in sowing too thickly. Some
people used bushel to the acre, he
thinks that better yield can be had
from sowing Of half bushel to the
acre. He says that while half a
bushel will give an appearantly scat
terlng stand when it first comes up,
that it will be sufficiently thick at
maturity, and there is more substance
for the healthy growth Of the stalk
and the full development Of the heads.
1t is not the case when too crowded.
AS this is something Of an expert.

1t is with pleasure that we note
that the appeal we made last week
for help for starving India has met
with heart. response from our citi-
zens, not only in the town but in the
country. The ministers announced
from their pulpits that the appeni
had been made, and some OF them
took up a special collection for that
purpose. The collections have been
forwarded 10 Messrs. Brown Bros, e
Co, 50 Wall street, and 73 Bible
House. New York. The express COM
panies and the national banks have
cordially consented to the free trans
mission of remittances for this pur-
pose.
The following collections have been
made and forwarded:

Rev. I. J. Fowler deserves credit
for the earnest manner in which he
went TO work TO raise funds for the
relief Of these poor starving creatures.
Such earnest work in such a cause
will not 80 without its reward. In
addition TO his collection at Wesley's
Chapel Sunday, he came to Union
Monday and made personal canvass
here and secured from c;tizrns Of
the town and from the country Sl7.2I
With q few moro such workers in the
field as Mr.. Fowler, Union county
would have made very handsome
showing.
However we are glad that so many
responded to the call, this amount
will be the means Of sustaining the
lives of many Of the poor unfortu,
mates. We understand from the
ministers, that other collections are
to be made, as several promised con
tributions are still 10 come in. Any
OF the ministers will be glad to re-
ccive any other contributions, AID
will hurry the same forward so that
it will reach these starving people at
the earliest moment possible. An

will be of interest to those not ia

The Restless American.

1t was a sentiment OF our old world
ancestors that they lived in the house
that had sheltered their fathers before
them. Son followed sire in tilling the
fields and in practic!ng the handicraft
that had become associated with the
family name. When one generation
died it was gathered to those that had
preceded it. A limited territory was a
big enough world for the forerunners
of the Yankee. But for him the
world is pitifully small. He disdains
20 live where his father lived, and as
for his fathers father, it is a chance
If he knows where that man called
home or where his bones are buried.
The Yankee may have come from New
York, married a wife from Texas,
started in bushes in California, raised
4 portion of his family in Georgia,
others in Minnesota and buried his
Ginsmen all over the land One son
may be in the Philippines, another in

another in West Virginia working an

We have the railroad habit in the
United States. 1t cost the people of
the country in 1S99 according to the
report of the Interstate Commerce
commission, nearly s3OO,0OO,O0O for
their fares on the railroads, which is
further supplemented by s125,000, 900
for travelling on trolley and other
street roads. When to that is added
stage fares, omnibus charges, boat
fares on the rivers and lakes and the
other sums paid for transportation it
is not likely that We get off with less
than $500 100000 year just for NOV
ing round. Nearly a million and
half daily for going away from home
and coming back, or making a new
home where we go. And in spite of all
this vast outlay for the sake of going
some place, we move about more ev-
cry day than on the day before. The
railroad habit is growing and cannot
be checked.-Pttsburg Times.

Buffalo BilI'sWild West Show.

With Kaleidoscope intermingling
of brilliant colors, dash and swing of
life and. activity with genuineness of
character not even assumed by others,
Buffalo Bills Wild West, two decades
ago commanded the admiration of the
people and has since become SO firmly
established that its annual engage
ments are all too snort to satisfy the
public desire. This position has been
gained because of the absolutely truth
full nature of the entertainers and the
entertainment. Unlike other exhibi-

Hot Campaign.

Canton, o., July i2.-The campaign
of 1900 in Canton will not be dupli-
cate of the campaign of 1896. 1t is not
the present intention of(President Nc
Kinley to make speeches to delegates
who may visit Canton during the sum-
mer and fall even ii he should remain
here all the time. He will be so much
occupied with public business that ne
will have little time to devote to the
campaign. He says that four years
ago he was a private citizen, and the
candidate of his pai ty, and felt justi-
fed in taking active part in the cam
paign. Now he is President and feels
that he should give his attention to
the main questions Of government
pending and constantly arising.
1t is the present intention of the
President to confine his participation
in the campaign to his speech today
and his letter of acceptance. Various
clubs, delegations and deputations
have telegraphed here asking when
they can be received by the President
The replies sent in response to these
messages have said that the length of
the Presidents stay in Canton is in
definite and that he can make no ap-
pointments for the reception of such
delegations. Those who call to pay
their respects will be received at times
when the President is not engaged, as
they would be were he in Washington.
But the President will not make
speeches from the front porch to visit
ing delegations.

Lost, Strayed or Stolen.

Since the adjournment of the Kansas
City Convention the interesting discov-
cry has been made that the expected
income tax plank is missing from the
platform The creed of 1896 is reat-
firmed, as everybody knoks, but there
is no separate and specific mention of
the issue on which the Democratic
party was exceedingly warm four years
ago. 1t is a clear case of lost, strayed
or stolen, with some definite commit
tails already to each of these hypoth-
eses and others in prospect. George
Fred Williams says positively that an
income tax plank was framed, but
that, in doubt OF its being strong
enough to stand the strain, it was
marked for repairs and then unfortu-
nately forgotten. This explana-
ton was yOuchasfed by George Fred
on Sunday in Lincoln, Neb., hitherto
considered to be the centre of inspira-
tion and infallibilitv. But it is ex-
tremely perplexing to find our own
Sulzer declaring, in the same place, on
the same sacred day, with all of his ac-
customed solemnity that the income
tax plank was omitted by design, while
simultaneously Mr.. Bryan himself be
ing asked to account for its absence,
simply but pointedly replied: "You
will have to see Senator Jones" APP
parently Senator Jones was not visible,
but we hope he will be sooner or later
and the mystery cleared up.
In the meantime we hazard the con-
lecture that if David Bennett Hill were
shllfully approached he might be will
ing to acknowledge, not necessarily for
publication but as guarantee of good
faith, that he was not utterly astound-
ed to find on looking over the Kansas
City platform that the income tax
plank had been inadvertently omitted.

Dining at the Bottom Of the
Sea,

Captain Simon Lake, inventor of the
submarine wonder, Argonaut, which is
constructed to scoot along at the bot
tom on rubber-tired wheels, like an
automobile, made an experimental trip
in Long Island Sound, with 13 guests
on board.
The fatal number did not bother
Captain Lake in the least. The Argo-
naut, which was laid up in Erie Basin
last winter, heightened and supplied
with more powerful machinery, was
submerged to a depth of 80 feet for
more than four hours. Captain Evans
and a crew of four men handled the
beat under the inventors direction.
Dinner was served on board while
the boat was submerged. The door in
the divers apartment was opened and
the divers, in their rubber suits, left
the boat. The water was kept out of
their apartment by an air pressure of
IL pounds to the square inch.
After dinner, which was served while
the beat was running at depth of 35
feet, Captain Lake gave ain exhibition
of his suction pump, designed to raise
sunken wreckage. The Argonaut had
stopped near a sunkt n coal barge, and
by means of the suction pump four
tons of coal from the barge were trans
ferred to the Argonaut at the rate of
a ton minute.
Slight headaches were experienced
by some of the party, but they were
not otherwise inconvenienced by their
submarine voyage. Inventor Lake
said he was ready for test under gov
ermental inspection if the Navy De-
partment is sufficiently. Interested

The Bridge.

Some people are beginning to see al
kinds Of trouble ahead for the city, il
Council refuses to grant the request o.:
the Pittsburg Bridge Company for ar
extension Of time of 80 days for the
completion of the bridge. The re
quest was handed it at the last meet
ing of the City Council and was refer
red to the Bridge committee, who will
report next Tuesday evening.
BY talking with number Of mem
bers of Council, we learn that the
granting of the request of the Pitts.
burg Bridge Company will meet with
strong opposition when it comes be
fore that body for consideration.
One member talked in very plain
terms regarding tn esituation and es-
pecially regarding the statements
made by so-called representatives OF
the Bridge Company as reported in one
OF the papers of last evening.
He held that the contract between
the City of Marietta and the Pitts
burg Bridge Company was in every
respect binding upon both parties, and
that the city had performed its part to
the letter. SO far as the delay caused
by the "city refusing to allow the
company to begin tearing down the old
bridge when they were ready" was
concerned, the member said that was
all bosh, for the city had not interfer-
red with the work in the least. The
Bridge company had the right to 60
ahead with the work of tearing down
the bridge, and If they neglected to do
so 1t was their own fault and not that
OF the city of Marietta.
The contract stirulates that the
work is to be compit ted by July l5 OF
the Pittsburg Bridge Company must
pay s25 per day as damages. 1t is
said that If Council refuses to grant
the extension, Mr.. Shrake, the sub
contractor, and not the Bridge Comp
any, will be the loser. But, the mem
ber argues, that does not matter. The
City of Marietta does not know Mr..
Shrake in this deal but depends upon
the Bridge Company to carry out the
contract. II the failure to complete
the bridge within the required time is
the fault OF Mr.. Shrake, the Pittsburg
Bridge Company has him to deal with.
and not the city.
In reply TO question regarding the
threat Of an attorney (said TO repre-
sent the Bridge Company that they
would enjoin the city from building
the approach on the park, the member
laughed and said that didn't scare him
In the least.
1--WE were elected to look out for the
best interests of the city" he said,
sand | intend to do my duty. We have
l chance to save the city $3.50, and we
ought TO do IT,"
The failure OF the Bridge Company to
maintain the ferry and several other
matters will probably leak out in the !
,jscussion OF the matter before Coun-
IN and Al may be that the Pittsburg |
3ridge Company will not be so anxious
on trouble as they are said TO be.
