Increased Uses of Cotton.

Every year the use of cotton
goods increases. Cotton is also
being manufactured into a grea-
ter variety ef fabrics, and into
finer and more attractive forms.
Many persons who and sup
posed that woolens were neces-
sary to their health in Winter
have learned that cotton goods
are better; also cheaper.
In 1860 the leading materials
used in Englad for clothing where
flax, 100000, 100 pounds; wool,
100000 pounds; cotton, 41,OO0,-
600 pounds. By 1860, the con-
sumption of flax and wool had
about doubled, and the consump-
ton of cottok had increased about
Is fold. And this increase in the
use of cotton has continued in the
same proportion ever since.
The relative increase of the use
of cotton has been even greater
in the United States, and in the
other parts of this hemisphere
than in England. The use OF
these goods has increased gteatly
in the original countries where
they are the most comfortable.
Another reason for the increas-
ed use of cotton goods is because
of the grasping tendency of the
wool-growers. They have had
the tariff on wool piled so high
as to compel manufacturers tt
raise the price which prevents
many from using woolen goods
Thus, they are driven to the ust
of cotton goods, and will never
give them up.

Colfax Chronicle: Some of our
exchanges are talking about the
"Bodceaux" Railroad. Probably
they refer to the Louisiana and
Arkansas, locally known as the
''Bodcau Railroad" which par
allels Bayou Bodcau in Louisiana
and Arkansas about 100 miles.
Bodcau is pronounced ''caw" as
broadly as ''sas" is called ''saw"
in Arkansas. The railroad map
of Geo. F. Cram incorrectly spells
Bodcau and this may account for
its wrong pronunciation.

New York Herald? One of the
greatest frauds practiced upon
amateur writer's for the press is
that of the professor who pre-

by mail. He charges S. or $40,

victim. The only way to learn
the business is by experience in q
a newspaper Office, directed by
newspaper men.

'Chickens Come Home to Roost,'

The Baltimore Sun says: When
General Sherman and Sheridan
were burning houses and Destroy
ing farm products in the South
during the Civil War it probably
never occurred to them that their
savage way of making war upon
non-combatants would one day be
cited in the British Parliament in
vindication of British brutalities
in South Africa. Yet that is Just
what has happened and what was
bound to happen when British
politicians were compelled to de-
fend the barbarous methods which
have been adopted to conquer the
Beers. tits significant, however,
that Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the
spokesman of the government,
flatters himself that the British
commanders in South Africa have
not yet resorted to measures as
extreme as those of Sherman and
Sheridan. He said: Regard
ing the devastation policy, it was
nothing compared with Sherman's
campaign in the Civil War. l
have talked with Sherman, and
he justified his action 'on the
ground of humanity
Not only is Sherman's so called
"humane' incendiarism used in
vindication of British methods of
making war in South Africa, but
the policy of the United States
Government in the Philippines is
also cited by Chamberlain as a
precedent for threatening the Boer
leaders with banishment from
South Africa and treating those
in arms as "banditti.' Cham
b9rlaid had read Gen. Nc Arthur's
proclamation informing the fell
lowers of Aguinaldo that if they
persisted in guerrilla warfare they
would be dealt with as bandits.
He has been gratified to find that
the United States has made pre-
cedents in the past 10 years that
may prove invaluable to Great
Britain in the present crisis. AS
the arming the Kaffirs and using
them against the Beers, Cham
berlain could silence American
criticism by recalling the fact that
the United States Government
had nearly 25O,O0O negro soldiers
in it's service during the Civil
War. Nobody north of Mason
and Dixon's line ever admitted
that it was wrong to arm the ne
groes in the South and array
them against the Southern white
people. If it was right to use the
black troops against the Southern
Confederacy it cannot 5e wrong
Chamberlain's opinion, to use thu
Kaffirs against the Beers.
It must be notifying to ever!
humane American to know tina
when the British Government il
assailed for it's cruel methods il
warfare upon the Beers it is abl'
to retort by citing Sherman's in
human methods in the South AM
Sheridan's incendiarism in tn

may reply: "Americans are tn

In a recent article on ''Union-

''The spectacle of the United

The True Lesson,

Atlanta Constitution: Since
the trial of Capt. Oberlin M. Car.
ter, three years ago, the four wit
nesses upon whom his conviction
rested have died, and, with his
case appealed, he may escape.
From this, The Constitution
might read a lecture upon the
laws delays, and why people are
occasionally induced to wreak
extra judicial vengeance. When
a criminal is brought before court
the invariable resort of his attor-
ney is to delay trial. The excuses
under which time is claimed are
various. They want the popular
passion to cool in order that the
people may be in a more judicial
frame of mind. In fact, they
want the witnesses either to dis
appear, to forget, or to die. Time
helps to kill the case of the State.
If criminal can postpone his trial
for a year there will be deaths in
the witness box, and then the cry
will be raised that there is no evil
dence and the guilty one escapes.
No matter how scandalous the
offence, how justly enraged the
people, they must stand still and
see justice defeated by sharp tao
tics, and criminals walk loose who
should be in the States prison,
The people are justified in asking
themselves if Courts exist solely
for the protection of criminals
if the public has no rights that
may be set up against criminal
The lesson of the case is that
while we are lecturing the people
upon their zeal in securing ar
offender, there should be some
grease poured into the wheels o1
justice so that the Courts woult
exist for the actual trial of often.
ders, instead of holding them of
until witnesses are either bough
up, scattered or dead.

THE STARS.

The star of the unconquered will,
He rises in my breast,
Serene, and resolute, and still,
And calm, and self-possessed.
And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art,
That readest this brief psalm,
AS one by one thy hopes depart,
Be resolute and calm.
y fear not in world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long,
Know how sublime thing it is
To suffer and be strong.

Atlanta Constitution: Southern
people are warned against buying
shares in Colorado mines. Hun
dreds of fraudulent companies
are in existence in Denver and in
Colorado Springs and the worth
less shares in these bunco con-
Germs are being sold by the bale.
These mines exist only on paper,
and when the thieves have sold
all the stock the gullible public
will stand the company disbands.
Men who have paying mines do
not offer the stock for sale. They
have the gold in the mine, and it
is not necessary to sell stock to
get what they have already. The
same advice holds good in refer
ence to Beaumont oil companies.
Many of these companies are
rank frauds, engineered by con.
fidence men, like some of the Col
orado mining sharpers, and who
should be in the State Prison.

The American Ginner, printed
at Meridian, Miss, says: When
the price of cotton begins to ap-
proximate the cost of production
we have a number of schemes,
coming mainly from England, for
the production of cotton elsewhere
in the world, and the procuring of
supply from another source.
Australia has been exploited on
paper, and continues to receive
this kind of attention, despite the
numerous failures of experiments
there. Mexico has been encour-
aged to give valley lands to cot
ton; the west coast of Africa has
offered Inducements, and British
India has been prodded again and
again in the vain effort to make
that worn out country produce
more cotton.
Egypt has for centuries grown
a small quantity of superior
grade of cotton, and it is sugges-
ted that the Valley of the Nile
shall be made to supply England's
spindles. This is not possible,
but the idea shows British dis
content, and the desire of the En-
glish spinners to buy elsewhere
than in America.
Cotton can be more profitably
grown in the Southern States than
any other country on earth. No
matter how much cotton the world
may need, the South will be able
to supply it.

Chicago Chronicle: In the Au-
gust number of the ''Forum"
Mr.. F. E. Leupp gives an answer
to those who have expressed sur
prise at the increased pension ap-
preparations. He says the deaths
are counterbalanced by the null
tiplication of frauds, and that
when a commissioner, or honest
man in public or private station,
starts a movement to expose the
frauds, he finds many obstacles in
the way, and is hindered in his
Investigations by the grand army
of pension agents, clerks, touters,
solicitors, and hangers-on, who
number about $4,000.
