Indianapolis, May 29.-Contrary to
the opinion that has been advanced
repeatedly, the cooperative glass fac
tories will not open their doors today
for business This Is the latest report
received by those glass dealers of the
city who are highest in the ranks of
the Independent association. 1t was
given out last night on high authority
that the co-operatlves had quietly sig

the agreement drawn up between the

Leopold MamDourg. of the Independ-
ent and Cooperative Window Glass
company, representing twenty plants
throughout the country not in the
American Window Glass company,
was seen at his Office in this city last
night and stated positively that all Of
his plants would stop work today, and
that there would be but two or three
factories In operation after that date.
These are not affiliated with his com
pany. or any other. He says they are
anxious to stop, but for financial rea-
sons will be compelled to work twelve
or fifteen days yet.
May Yet Arrange Matters.
One plant is in the east and the
other two in the west. They may all
arrange matters today and 60 out with
the rest. The factory at Point Marion,
Pa, and the Johnston, at Hartford
City. Ind, will close with the others
today. regardless of reports to the con-
trary. President MambOurg reports
the sale Monday of 100000 boxes of
glass to the Pittsburg Plate Glass COM
pany. This Is the output of next year,
representing $3.C- 1900, and insures the
resumption of all factories promptly
on Sept 10 for a full nine months
work. which will be the longest work
ing season for eight years past.

CHANCELLOR A. G. HAWKINS.

Chancellor A. @. Hawkins, OF
this place, will be a candidate fol
reelection to the chancellorship OF
this division and, we understand,
will soon formally announce himself
through the newspapers of the dis
trict. This district was considera-
bly, enlarged by the legislature OF
1899 and is now composed Of the
following counties Henry, Carroll,
Henderson, Madison, Hardeman,
Decatur, Chester, McNairy, Hardin,
Crockett, Benton and Perry, which
is an addition of four counties. This
makes the district very large and
the duties of the Office more impor-
tant as well as more laborious. 10
do the work of division composed
of so many counties and the amount
of litigation that will naturally ac-
crue, and do it In such 4 way that
litigants will not suffer, will, it
seems to us, require a chancellor Of
ability and much experience. Chan
cellor Hawkins has the ability in a
marked degree, the record he has
made on the bench heretofore is
proof sufficient Of this fact, and has
had sufficient experience to justify
the belief that he Will dispatch the
increased business of the court with
justice and fairness to all, and with
much more satisfaction than could
a chancellor with less experience.
Chancellor Hawkins has made a
splendid record for fair and courte-
Gus treatment Of the bar, as well as
of the I1tigants, and his department
while on the bench as we'll as off it,
has been that which should charac-
terize the life of a man holding so
important a position. He is moral,
high-toned christian gentleman, and
stands for good government and
upright living.
While we are not in touch with
the sentiment and feeling Of the en-
tire district, yet the information we
have indicates that his qualifications
and fitness for the Office are so we'll
recognized and appreciated that he
will hardly have any serious oppo-
sition in securing the nomination
and in his election, and in showing
him the preference we feel satisfied
the people will make no mistake
Carroll County Democrat, May Il,
1901.
The BULLETIN takes pleasure in
adding its endorsement TO the above.
For fifteen years, Chancellor Haw-
kins has presided over the Division
Of which Hardeman is a component
part. He is held in the highest es-
teen, not only by the members of
the Bolivar bar, but by every one
who knows him. The scales of JUS
tice are we'll balanced in his hands.
His many friends here will cheer
fully support him for reelection.

Beware of a Cough r.!

A cough is not a disease, but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chitis, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their
first indication a persistent cough,
and if properly treated as soon
as this cough appears are easily
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy has proven wonderfully success
full, and gained it's wide reputation
and extensive sale by its success in
curing the diseases which cause
coughing. If it is not beneficial it
will MT cost you cent. For sale
