---------------------- NOT 4 SHOItI SESSION

When the session of the legislature began there was encouraging talk about a short session. There didn't seem to be any great amount of work to do and there did seem to be disposition to do promptly what there was to do. But procrastination and legislatures are thieves of time, and here it Is almost the first of May with the end of the ses- sion not in sight There are still about five hundred bills in the hands of com mittees and some of them will not get out soon. The talk now is that the ses- sion will really not last until the Fourth of July, and some takers say it will end by the first of June. It will be interest ing to notice when 1t does end, but ex- perience teaches that it is not useful to predict when it'wll end. Alls well that ends we'll, and 1t is to be hoped that this legislature will be able to make good ending. But experience also teaches that it isn't wise to be very hopefu, about that.

coon YORK IN EGYPT.

The English have done great things for Egypt by cutting through the 'sudd" that obstructed the Nile. A commissioner of the London. Teie- graph describes the results of Major Peake's work Floating islands of veg citation brought together by the cur rent had blocked the river at intervals over a distance of two hundred and fifty miles. The sudd on examination was found to be from twelve to twenty feet deep, with sixteen feet of water underneath. The top was perfectly dry and men could stand upon it while de- molishing it. After burning the upper part of the vegetation Major Pe2lc cut parallel ditches through the compressed under layer, with the result that the pressure of the accumulated water forced the whole mass of sudd down stream, making an open channel from one hundred to four hundred feet wide and twenty feet deep, The amount of water released was enormous. Since the cutting of the sudd the Nile has fallen at Wadelai, five hundred miles above the obstruction. as much as five feet, and Egypt has enjoyed more

nARn HIT.

This troubled world has had q good many things happen to it lately, and it has learned not to be unduly agitated But 1t will be hardly prepared to hear that it has been hit by a causal nexus. It has. though, if American Medicine is right. That periodical, which has just been born in Philadelphia, is so surpris- ed by what its eyes have opened on that it says: Almost all governments, civilized and unclvilized, are devoting almost all their energies to decivlliza- tion. War and ambition and national hatreds are wildly at work to produce ruin and disease. The old fires of bar barism are relighting, masked under the spacious guises of national egotism and pseudo patriotism. The enormous sums of money, almost the whole ener- gies of all peoples, are being expended in war, luxury and expansion. It is not accidental, it is not merely intercurrent, 1t is absolutely causal nexus that unites this with the awful increase of plague.
 Probably there isn't much to do ex- cept to sit still and see what the causal nexus will do to us It Is evident that there is no use trying to get out of the way of it. Probably it is that which is causing the drought that is prevailing on the coast.

THE COTTON MILES OF THE SOUTH.

THE COTTON MILES OF THE SOUTH. In nothing has the new South made more progress than in cotton-m manufac- turing. According to the census of
 1880, there were 1SO small cotton mills
 south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers
 with less than 1000 spindles. The 1900
 census will show nearly eight hundred
 mills operating more than 100000
 spindles, and mills under construction
 which will, within a few months, add
 5000o0 spindles to this great total The
 greatest development in cotton manu-
 featuring has been in Georgia, where
 forty-eight new mills, with almost 264,- 900 spindles and 5 1000 looms, were placed
 in operation last year, representing capitalization of nearly $400O,O00. Dur
 ing the previous year. in the same
 State, thirty-eight mills had been built, providing an increase of 27S,o00 spindles and 7,040 looms at a similar capitalza- tlOH. IHe iHOSl interesting 1dct III con- nection with this development Is that probably more than seventy-fve per cent. of the stock is owned within the State limits. North Carolina is close second in this development of cotton and there are already along the line of one railroad system 123s cotton mills, representing $14250,000 l In capital and consuming nearly 35O,O0o | bales of cotton year.
 The talk now is that cotton-manufac- turing in the South has seen its best | days, for awhile at least and that it | must soon contend with labor troubles, l shorter hours and other obstacles to much money making. Bvt there is no good reason to think that the industry | will not continue to be a profitable one.

The Parson's Limit.

He'd been preaching and cxhortlng For q score of years or so, In a portion of the vineyard Where the harvesting was slow; Where the temporal inducement For his ceaseless diligence Was a promise of four hundred For his yearly recompense. Unrelenting was the ardor
 He devoted to the cause And though slowly came the dollars Still he. labored without pause; Till one day they came and told him, As he kicked against the bricks, That they d raised their offered stipend From four hundred up to six. Then the good man sank exhausted, As he feebly made reply: Don't, l pray you, men and brethren, Thus my patience oyertry; For to glean the four you've promised Hath so warped my vital store That 'twould Kill me if you taxed me To collect two hundred more.

New Jersey is considered little slow, but she wasn't very slow when she went into the business of trust fostering. The treasury of the State will receive this year from the trusts not less than $2, 100000. This sum is almost large enough to defray the expenses of the State government. Last year the cost of running the machinery of the State aggregated less than $3.oo0, ,Ooo, which left barely more than $1,ooo,oOo to be raised through the ordinary channels of taxation.

The Board Of Trade.

The directors of the Paw Paw Board
of Trade held a session Tuesday evening
of this week at the Savings bank. All
the directors were present except h. S.
Briggs, who was detained on account of
sickness. G.. A. Sherrod was elected
president, Lincoln III. Titus secretary
John w. Free treasurer, w. G. Y. Fergu-
son LIST vice president and f. b. Long
well I'd vice president.
The amount of the treasurer's bond
was fixed at $1,000 and that of the secre-
tary's at $500, with sureties to be APP
proved by the directors.
The following members of the board of
trade were elected members of the
various committees by the directors, as
provided by the bylaws of the associa-
ton:
Finance w. II. Longwell, M. O. Row
land, David Anderson.
Railroads and transportation w.

The only difficulty the directors ex-
perienced in the selection of members of
the various committees was the abund-
ance of good material from which to
select; finding it impossible to give a
place on the committees to all the mem
bers of the association, they selected a
portion and left enough good material
to be made into committees by their
successors.
The directors hope and expect each
member of the association, as we'll as
every citizen of Paw Paw ard vicinity,
will put his shoulder to the wheel and
aid in every way to increase Paw Paws
steady growth and prosperity. The
board of directors cannot do this alone,
but by all working in harmony, each one
doing all he or she can to promote the
welfare of our gem of a village, much can
be accomplished. The public will be
kept fully advised from time to time of
the progress made, through the public
press.
