Mississippi has more cotton gins

Georgia and Texas. Georgia heads the
list with 4,S35; Texas has 4,460, and
Mississippi has ALAG. The quality OF
our gins is 80 far superior to those of
Georgia, however, as to overbalance the
greater number Georgia's average bale

That is bad-bad for the children and
bad for the teachers, and so bad for

build another uptodate, roomy school
building (and that should be in time

give boards of supervisors full control
over children of dependent parents.
Application for support of children
should be deemed sufficient proof of
the inability of the parents to care for
them, the Second district supervisors
think, and the county board should
have the power to make such disposal
of children as the board may deem
best for the interest of such children
A resolution to this effect was adopted
in the meeting of the Second district
supervisors, held in Clinton, and will
be presented by them to the state con-
vention of supervisors.
George G. Campbell, of Clinton, Sec
rotary of the Tri-City Labor congress,
of Clinton, Lyons and Fulton has
been sending out letters urging labor
organizations in the state to take
such action against what he considers
an inhuman proposition.
Labor Commissioner Wennerstrum
and his deputy, A. r. Holder, are op-
posed to the proposed system and will
use their influence to prevent its adop-
tion.

COMPANY M WANTS TO GO.
Willing to Pay Its Own Way to the In
augurai.

Des Moines, Jan. 19.-The move
ment to send Iowa troops to Wash
ington at the time of the Inauguration
of President Mckinley has been re-:
yived by letter from ]. w.
Clark, of Red Oak, formerly COM
handing officer of Company M, of the
Fifty-first Iowa, and now lieutenant
colonel in the regiment In this let
ter Colonel Clark said the company
was willing to go to Washington and
pay it's own expenses, altho he asked
Adjutant Byers if it would not be pos
sible for the state to bear the expense
of transportation as far as Chicago.
General Byers gave the RED Oak
company the answer, that if the four
leading companies he had designated
one of them a picked company made
up of members of both Sioux City
companies, would provide their own
expenses he would tender their SER
vices to the Inauguration committee
at Washington. He adheres to the po-
sition he took from the first, however,
that if any troops at all are to go from
Iowa, not less than battalion should
be sent.
