VALUABLE GIFT SECURED.

jackson Died

The Stonewall Jackson Memorial Asso-
citation secured valuable gift yesterday
1t is the bed on which General Stonewall
jackson died. In. 1865 when The ladies of
Spotsylvania We're endeavoring to raise u
fund sufficient to remove the Confederate
dead from the battelfelds in that county
and place them in the cemetery appro-
priated for that purpose at Spotsylvania
Courthouse, Mr. Thomas Chandler at
whose house General Jackson died. placed
the bed in the hands of Mrs. a. J. Boul-
ware, of La, Vista, Spotsylvania county,
to sell, but not to sacrifice, to aid that
fund. The fund was made without a sale
being made of it. At the death of Mrs.
Boulware in 1874, the bed passed into the
hands of her son, Mr.. ]. A1cCalla Boul-
ware, of Spotsylvania. He, attempting to
make it accomplish the purpose to which
it was dedicated, placed it in the hands
of MIR. r. B. Merchant, of Fredericksburg,
who, as president of the association to
raise a fund to mark the place where
Jackson was shot, was authorized to sell
it.
Again the fund was raised without the
sale being made.
Soon after this Mr.. Boulware learned
that some shrewd dealer in Fredericks-
burg had bought up beds of similar make
and cut them into blocks and was selling
the blocks as parts of this interesting
relic He went to Fredericksburg and
took the bed from where it had been
stored and brought 1t to his home at La
Vista. ." where it has remained until yes
terday, when at the suggestion Of Mt. e

it to the association to be placed ny II

COOPERATIVE FACTORIES

A remarkably strong argument in favor of small industries and the cooperative plan intellgently carried out exists in this city, says Rome, Ga, telegram. Two years ago a number of the union holders in the Bowie & Terhune foundry went out on a strike. Ex-Mayor J. J. Seay per- suaded and aided them in establishing a cooperative stove foundry. So, from mis- fortune was evolved prosperity for many men, and the establishment of splendid concern.
 Every stockholder is a worker in some capacity but there are only two salaries for officers The plant was capitalized at $20,O0O, and only 10 per cent was called for at the outset. A large part of the stock was paid for by the holders in labor in the building of the plant.
 Some worked as carpenters, some as common laborers So a large building was erected in North Rome, and orders booked months ahead for all of their product. At the first annual meeting dividend of so per share was declared, and at the second annual meeting, held last night, a dividend of $37 25 per share was declared, and the capitalization increased from $20000 to $30,- 900; and this concern has been the saliva tion of some of the men holders now near lifes meridian, who, though always mak- ing good salaries, had never saved a cent, are under the present conditions well fixed. They have lived well, and comfortably, have their stock paid up, and are getting a magnificent dividend. All of the holders own from $500 to S1, 900 in stock. A. Randle, a councilman from the fourth ward, is su- perintendent of the workers. If the men had been able to buy quantities of pig iron while prices were lower their profits would have been greater.
