Drafts Through the Mails.

Drafts Through the Mails,
Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 29.-H. G..
Westall of Asheville, N. c., was ar
rested here to-day on the charge of
having used the United States mails
for carrying checks and drafts with
the intention to defraud. Westall was
bound over to Federal Court and COM
mitted to Jail in default of bond. He

eler in payment for a diamond
wor. S175. Another alleged forgery
was a draft of $135 on the East Ten
nessee National Bank of Knoxville,

second draft was sent to the same

COST OF KEEPING CLEAN.
One of the Masculine Gender Keeps
an Account.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
GRAFT

From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat.
Did you ever stop to think about
how much 1t costs a man to keep
clean, to keep in what the world would
call a presentable condition." asked
rather fastidious gentleman yesterday.
who also has an eye to the economical
side of life.
1T is no small thing when you come
to think about 1t, and independent OF
the things a man is required to buy
during the year, the bill will run up
to a rather neat sum. Men are forced
to buy many things which are never
counted in the cost of living when he
foots up the bill at the end of the year.
and yet they tell In the aggregate when
IL comes to his bank account and his
income generally. But was thinking
of the plain, ordinary proposition of
keeping ones self clean. Take, for in
stance. the matter of laundry. The
average cost to a single man is at
least so cents a week. and frequently
the bill runs much above this figure.
Clean clothes on this basis will cost
$26 a year. Then there is a fellows
barber bill. the cost Of shaves, sham
poos, hair cuts and shines, and baths,
and all these things tend to run the
bill up.
"Supposing that a man will take two
shaves every week, and this is the av-
erage, this would make a total of 104
shoves during the year. and at the
minimum price of 10 cents for each
shave, II would amount at the end of
the year to 5000. Baths. on an aver
age of one each week, and at a cost
of rs cents for each bath, would cost
$13 a year. If he averages two shines
a week at the minimum of cents
for each shine, the bill will amount to
$500 for a year. One hair cut a
month, at the same rate, would amount
to &c.
Taking these things. and allowing
for tips and things of that sort. 1t
will be seen that a man will spend
probably SIS every year in keeping
clean, and when you come to think of
this amount 1t will really clothe the
average fellow who makes no effort
to keep up with the changes which
mark the course of fashion. AS a mat
ter OF fact, there are a great many
men who do not spend this much for
clothes during the year. II may be
safely estimated that the average man
does not spend so much in clothing
himself So on this basis the average
man spends more I'm actually keeping
his body and his clothes clean than he
does for the things which clothe his
body. and these things manage 10 keep
his bank account down 10 that extent"

Cotton Greatly Damaged.
Continued rains. extending now over
period of two weeks, interfered ma
terially with cotton picking and at the
same time are doing great damage to
open cotton in the fields. Heavy loss
has already been sustained by
farmers here, not only in cot
ton beat out and destroyed, but in
the quality of the staple harvested.
Much of the cotton brought in yester-
day and during the past week was wet
ana stained, detracting greatly from
its market value.
The Johnson & Harold Warehouse
Company is erecting two large brick
buildings on the Central Railroad
front for the storage of cotton. The
buildings will be equipped with all
modern appliances and rendered prac-
tically fire proof. They will be conf
pleted within sixty days.
The Americas public schools opened
recently under very fatteung auspices,
considering the fact that the existence
of scarlet fever here recently has de-
tered many parents from sending their
children just yet. Already ne arly 200
pupils have been enrolled. and it is ex-
pected that the total will reach 1900
ere the close for the holiday season in
December. Both the white and colored
schools are largely attended already.

the operatives, called a special meet

of the city have within a week adj
vanced wages per cent, the other
mills could afford to take the same
action.
1t was voted that the council in
sist upon a per cent. increase In
wages and a meeting was called foi
next Wednesday night. In case the
council receive no report to communl-
cate before that time, the members

Paying Amalgamated Scale.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 29.-At a
meeting to-day of the strikers at Bay
view who still remain out, it was voted
to call out those of the radical element
who recently went to work. 1t is said
that about 35 of the skilled workmen
will walk out tomorrow. The reason
for the course taken is said to be that
the Illinois Steel Company is not paying
the Amalgamated scale, which was in
force when the men quit work in a.
body several weeks ageo. The result
will be, it is said, the shutting down
of two of the nine-inch mills. En-
ployes who returned to work when the
first break in the strike occurred, and
who belong to the conservative ele-
ment, will remain at work. The ILL
nois Steel Company will not listen to

For . Permanent Pasture.

When practicable a permanent pas
ture is desirable. Fields that are adapt
ed to the production of titled crops that
are under a close rotation cannot be
pastured with profit. If a crop of clover
OF timothy is removed in the rotation
there is nothing gained by grazing the
young grass nor the growth after the
crop is removed. The soil needs more
of this organic matter than it gets at
the best, and this aftermath is worth
more as food to the soil than to stock.
The skinning of the titled fields by
stock and the tramping when the land
is wet are responsible for many fail
ures to get profitable crops. If less de-
sirable land can be laid down to per-
manent grasses and stock be confined to
this land, the plowed land of the farm
has better chance.
