PAPER MILLS IN
 THE SOUTHLAND

From tne New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Speaking of the paper mill at Pensacola, Fla, of which the Times-Democrat has al- ready written, a dispatch to the New York Commercial says:
 "The paper mill here Is a bonanza, &C., cording to reports. The capital invested Is only $30.G coo, but 1t has a. daily output of twenty tons of paper, which Is produced at about half the present market price, malS- ing net profit of from $500 to $500 daily"
 Probably no factory in the country is do- ing better with the small capital operated and what is true of the Pensacola concern Is equally true of other Southern cotton mills. The Times Democrat has frequently pointed out what a splendid field the South offers for the manufacture of paper-at far better field indeed than is offered the cot ton industry, in which we have such tri- umph of late.
 We have the materials for the manu- fracture of paper, far cheaper, more abun- dant and better than New England; the necessary water supply, satisfactory labor. and a climate that allows mills to run the entire year. and not be stopped by frost or freeze.
 The south has now become the center of lumber production not only for this coun- try. but for the wk6le world, and wood today is the basis Of the paper industry, so that the erection of paper mills should have closely followed the opening of our sawmills. This Is the case with the mlD at Pensacola, which has been using the slabs and refuse lumber from the neighboring sa wmills and converting them into paper.
 The great advance in the price Of paper of late is another matter to be taken into con slderation. If the manufacture were profit able a few years ago, it must return magnificent profit today with the better rates that prevail. This advance is attrib- uted to the scarcity of available timber for paper purposes in New England and to the drouth that prevailed in that section during the working of the mills; but these eX- plana tions, however they may apply to the east, do not concern the south, which has ample timber for wood pulp and plenty of water for the mills.
 It will be seen, therefore, that every special reason that has been given why the manufacture of cotton goods should be a success in the south applies equally to the manufacture of paper, with the additional advantages that there has been shortage in paper production, that the demand for paper is growing the world over much fast , CT than the demand for cotton goods, and that prices are relatively better. It seems strange, therefore, that under these favorable conditions, the movement in the construction of paper mills in the South should not have been more marked All the mills that have been erected have been signally successful, like that at Pen sacola, but there have been comparatively few built. The explanation lies probably in the fact that the industry is a new known in the South that capital hesitates more. There is always some nmlta tloniin

ANECDOTES OF INGALLS,
 AND HUNTINGTON

Senator Ingalis made a great part of his reputation by his skill in making epigrams, and in his love for them he sometimes satirized his own party. leaders. platform and slate. His most famous utterance he made in an interview in 1SSS when in criti- cism of the methods of certain so-called re- formers, he said:
 "The purifeation of politics by such means as this is an iridescent dream er Other epigrams and picturesque utter ances of MT. Ingalls, follows:
 ''rhe Golden Rule and the Decalogue have no place in an American campaign
 Nothing Is so fatal to eminence as the testers cap and bells.
 = ''In every community there are more in 9tellgent, industrious, upright and patriotic men than rogues and scoundrels. IT this were not society would disintegrate." = ''The man who cannot take care of his own affairs has no just right to take care of the affairs of others. The pauper ought not to decide the rate of taxation upon in- comes and property.
 "Sufrrage is not right, but privilege conferred by law, and its qualification or denial is the prerogative of the State
 "The prescription for greatness has not been written. The laboratory in which genius is compounded has not been dis closed"
 '.No man is well who thinks he Is ill He may have no organic or fatal ailment, but something is the matter with him"
 ''The African came here as captive prisoner of war, and has been the helpless victim of unspeakab cruelty and avarice. Whether capable of high mental develop ment or not he is susceptible of loyalty, affection and fidelity. His instincts are wholly to civilization.
 Government is force; politics Is battle for supremacy: parties are the armies; the object is success"
 "Kansas can promise more in June and pay less in Auugst and promise less In August and pay more in October than any other State in the Union. I am here in Kansas because I want to be- l think if I were not a Kansas man would be born again and become one"
 ''The injustice of society and the in equality of conditions have given an enor- mcus impulse to the idea of nationalism, the control of all economic agencies by the direct interposition of the government This is the logical reaction from individualism, on which our system was founded. The hope that political equality would result in the destruction of poverty and in social fraternity has not yet been realized"
 g"No one is compelled to dedicate himself to the public service. It is voluntary, and if the conditions are unsa tisfaetory there is no obstacle to retirement. While it would be agreeable to receive more, my impression is that if salaries were doubled expenses would be doubled"
 ''There was a profound truth in the dec- laration of Voitaire, that if there were no ood it would be necessary for man to in- vent one. This was fippant and irreverent,

the launching of new industries; indeed, the erection of cotton mills in the South was slow at first, and grave doubts were entertained as to their success in compe- tition with the New England mills; but they soon passed the experimental stage, and now very few days pass which do not chronicle the erection of new mill
 We shall probably go through the same experience with the manufacture of paper. dozen or more mills like that at Pensa- cola will convince capital that there is mon- ey in the manufacture of paper In the south. The industry must ultimately find it's home here, just as the manufacture of cot ton goods and of lumber has done-,ss eause no section of the country offers so st.andant and cheap a supply of timber and the oth- CT materials entering into the manufacture of paper

 The membership is limited to 100 famil-

AGAIN ABsoLvEs JULIAN.
Fitz, However, Maintains he Was
Dragged.

New York. Feb 6-When bob"
Fitzsimmons made the statement sew
eral days ago that he had been drugged
in his fight with James J. Jeffries for
the heavyweight championship last
June, he said that he had no intention
of casting any reflection on his former
manager, Martin Julian.
Julian and T. said FitzsimmOns to-
day, ARE not friendly at present, but
at that I have no desire to besmirch
his reputation for honesty. Julian has
always been very honorable in his deal
ings with me, and am sure that If he
had any knowledge of a plot to deprive
me of the heavy weight championship
by foul means he would have communi-
Gated it to me.
Il charge the crime which proved so
costly to me to no one, for the reason
that I have no definite knowledge
touching on the subject. I absolve JUL
ian for all blame in the matter All
I know is that 1 was drugged and that
Jeffries blows did not do the poisoning
My mind is a blank after the second
round.
"The blow that upset me in the sec
ond round and which. it is stated, caus-
ed an injury to my spine, am sure had
no influence on my condition. I have
fought 319 battles, and in not a single
instance did fail to recall a blow, that
dazed me. and have been dazed pretty
badly at times"

CoRBETTs LATEST SCHEME.
Has 3 Fighting Post Instead of a
Punching Bag.

New York, Feb. GA Lakewood dis
patch to the Journal says:
Jim Corbett has the latest thing in
the punehing-bag line. It is his own
invention, and is a punching post-a
plain post, solid as the rocks of Gibral-
ter, and much resembles the posts of
prize ring, although much more heav-
lily padded.
When Corbett charges this sturdy foe
there is not much of give" to it.
Swinging sand men, airy pigskin
spheres or prancing Sparring partners
are as feathers before a cyclone COM
pared to this new punching device
Even the padding is stiffened until the
hardest blow POmpadour Jim can send
in makes only a light indentation.
It seems that when Jim and Sailor
Sharkey locked horns in that sensa-
tional battle at the Lenox club Cor
bett underwent an experience which
had never before fallen to his lot EV-
cry time one of his blows reached home
on the sailors anatomy Jim felt a
twinge of pain shoot the length of his
arm. Sharkey's heavily muscled body
presented an armor-like front. 1t is
these memories which have given birth
to Pompadour Jim's padded post
In Jeffries he will meet q man of
giant proportions, a man of iron, who,
before beaten, will stand the onslaught
Of a battering ram. And it is to pre-
pare himself for this siege that COrbett
IS daily pounding away at this post.
Day by day he finds that the jar
which follows his blows has less effect
upon him; he feels his shoulders getting
stronger. and by the time he faces the
big boiler maker Jim says he Will be
able to batter away at brick house
without suffering the least annoyance
William A. Brady, representing JEFF
fries, and Jim COrbett have made sign
ed statements denying the Chicago
story that their coming fight is to be q
fake. The statement follows:
IF the Corbett and Jeffries match
takes place it will be a bona fde affair
Jeffries will defeat Corbett in one
round, or one punch, for that matter

j. A. D1cKENsHEET DEAD.
Large Concourse of Carbondale
Friends Follow His Remains
to the Grave.

Carbonate, Feb. Gone of the
largest funerals witnessed here in
years was that of James A. Dicken-
sheet, who having suffered for years
from a painful complaint, succumbed
to the inevitable last Saturday morn
ing and was buried yesterday.
The deceased was a pioneer citizen of
this vicinity. having come to Waka-
rusa in 1860.
For the last 20 years he had been
resident of Carbondale, where, until
up to his last illness, he successfully
conducted a large blacksmithing estab-
1ishment-,
Mr. Diekensheet was a man of ex-
emplafy habits, scrupulous honesty
and enjoyed the esteem and confidence
of his fellow townsmen. He was a.
prominent Mason, and ranked high in
the councils of that fraternity.
Funeral services were held on the
Congregational church of this place,
after which the remains, followed by
a large concourse of relatives and
friends, were conveyed to Wakarusa
cemetery and inferred with the solemn
and impressive rites of the Masonic
order.
Deceased was 81 years of age and
leaves a wife and four children to
mourn his loss.
The death of Mr.. Dickensheet seems
like the passing of an old land mark,
and has cast a gloom over the entire
community.

SMALLPOX NEAR K. q.
Students at Lawrence Much Alarmed
at the Disease.

Lawrence, Feb 6-Considerable ex-
element was caused among the stu
dents of Kansas University over the re-
port of a case of smallpox in the vi
entity of the student lodging houses.
All the students of the university have
been ordered vaccinated within the
next ten days. A vaccination station
was opened at the university today in
charge of DR.. Williston and four assis-
tants, and over 100 students have been
vaccinated- A hospital will also be es-
tablished at once for the students who
may become afflicted with the disease.
There seems to be no real danger at
present of smallpox becoming epidemic
talking of leaving school. Mr.. Winnek,
a travelling man, came home yesterday
with the smallpox. He walked forty
miles to get home, rather than spread
the disease by riding on the cars.
