Lead Pencils in Germany.

Under date Of March Is. 1901, Consul Hughes,
Of CobuTg, writes: The lead pencil industry in
Germany is at present suffering from American
competition. 1t Is alleged that our success in
this branch OF industry is mostly due to the
perfection Of the machinery. Another important
point is the fact that we have the best cedar
wood, which is particularly suitable for the
manufacture Of lead pencils, while the Germans
are compelled to import it and cannot get it in
such good quality. Numerous trials have been
made 10 find another material which could take
the place Of wood in the manufacture Of lead
pencils; metal tubes, coverings made from rolled
compressed paper, etc. have been used, but
none has met with success.

ways and surrounded and divided
by steamboat lines, mainly owned and

multi-millionaires, Henry Il. Plant and

IMMENSE WAREHOUSES;,

Here are the immense warehouses Of
the Plant system. some Of which ex-
tend out over the water on piling, the
bay Hlng shallow. and the whole
water front here Is lined or covered
with myriads of clam shells. Here are
large elevators and shutes run by
electric power, capable of loading into
vessels 5000 tons Of phosphate or other
freight per day. Steamers drawing
&c feet of water arrive and leave this
port daily for Havana, Philadelphia
and New York. Steamers Oivette and
Mascotte make ri-weekly trips, carry
ing the mails TO Kew West and Ha-
vana, with passengers, in % hours.
The Mary j. Russell, beautiful
steamer, was in port about to sail.
Formerly the channel. or lagoon, eX-
tending from deep water 10 the docks,
was shallow, some three feet deep and
with the tide, which is two and a half
feet at the port, only craft drawing
five feet could enter through the So
called sand fat" MIR. Plant, with
his accustomed foresight and enter
prise, commenced as a private under
taking the famous "Dredge canal" TO
form a channel of &c feet in depth and
200 feet wide. At the elevators it is
p feet deep. One mile of this canal Is
made land canal. the eXcavated soil
thrown up on either side forms the
foundation Of wharves and railroad
sidings a mile long. This ditch cost
one million dollars. One dredge ma
chine alone cost slOOO,OO0. 1t took
three years to complete it and now
Port Tampa is adequate to accommo-
date the largest steamers and vessels
afloat. Port Tampa was the point se-
lected by our government for mobil-
izing the Cuban army of invasion and
from here departed the new world s
armada to replace the flag OF Spain
with the stars and stripes on Morro
castle, where it will remain and float
forever.
Around her was pitched one OF the
largest military camps, and no les than
$4,000 soldiers embarked from here
At one time eighteen transports were
being loaded-nine on each side of the
canal, within the mile limit. The
transport Minnewasaka, alone took a
complete regiment.
The fishing and fruit interests at
Tampa are extensive and from its
wharves steamers sail daily to St
Petersburg, Manatee, and other places
along the Gulf coast and return laden
with tropical fruit, cabbage. etc, for
| the northernmarket. Here are manyre-
sorts accessible by steamer. where the

The real name of President
McKinley's assassin is Leon
Czolgosz, Polish anarchist. He
first gave his name as Fred Me
man which was afterwards cor
rected. We don't see how any
true American could assassinate
the President. These anarchists
should all be banished from the
United States and all European
immigration to the United States
should be restricted. The large
manufacturers should be prohib-
tied from employing this foreign
labor instead of Americans be-
cause they work a few cents a
day cheaper. AS long as they
are permitted to land here there
will be these same dangers. We
can get along without them and
they should be kept out of this
country. Let every nation in the
world close their ports to us and
we would do business Just the
same. We don't need to depend
on the outsidew world for anything.
The sooner this immigration of
the scum of Europe is stopped
the better it will be for the coun-
try generally:

Red Bird, like the other correspondents,
found it almost impossible to keep up their
end of the line while harvest and threshing

sure time and will make a few notes.
We were not so fortunate as were the peo-
pie of Meade last Saturday as they got the
rain and we were just out of it.
Robert Turner made flying trip to the
west part last Sunday but on account of GER
tain people being gone he returned at an
early hour.
At this writing Lucy Palmer is some better
but she has been very low for several weeks
with typhoid fever. We hope she may soon
recover.
Anna Botsford is expected in the last par,
of the week. She is going to teach the Fow-
Ter school again this winter. She laugh,
here last year, gave good satisfaction and
was well liked by the scholars.
Maurice Frazier and wife visited out at
Mr.. Burford' last Monday night.
We understand from good authority that
the old Woodman Hall at this place will be
sold Saturday afternoon, Sept. II, to the

The I. o. o. F. lodge at this place seems
to be on the boom as they have new candi-
date nearly every meeting night.
John Wymer got back last Monday after a
couple of weeks visit in the east. He reports
having a swell time.
Mr.. Edwards, one of Artesian's prosperous
farmers, was transacting business in the burg
the first of the week.
Henry Burford made flying trip to Min
neoly on his bike one day last week.
We noticed in the Globe that Humble
Bumble Bee got to B. Joyful and was SO
tickled we suppose he forgot to write.
H. Dyer has moved out of the Henderson
property lately purchased by John Wymer
and Mr.. Riley expects to take possession the
last of the week.
Tom Hotz is drilling a we'll for VIM. Ellis.
The farmers have commenced sowing
wheat and they expect to put in large acre
age.
Arthur Jones is quite sick at this writing.
Henry Burford left for Jameson, Mo-, last
Wednesday where he has a position as night
operator. His many friends regret to see
him go but send their best wishes for his sue
cess at his new occupation.
