STATES GINNERY TO
CONTINUE WORK FOR PUBLIC

1t is very probable that the cotton gin
which is located at the state prison farm
at Milledgeviile will continue to do work
for the public, although some protests
have been received. While the members
of the prison commission, who are In
charge of the farm, would not discuss the
matter this morning, 1t is thought the
gin will continue its work for the people
in the vicinity Of the farm. The gin was
erected for use on the farm, and many
farmers living near the property of the
state requested that they be allowed to
have their cotton ginned there every
year. The prison commission agreed, pro-
vided the regular rate was paid.
Now people who own gins five or six
miles from the state farm are complain
ing that convict labor is in competition
with free labor and say the gin on the
states property should not do public
work Judge ]. s. Turner, chairman OF
the prison commission, said this morning
that the people on the state farm did not
solicit business for the gin, and that if
the people brought cotton there it was en-
tirely optional with them, that the COM
mission did not care whether or not they
ginned cotton for the public and that the
matter rested entirely with the people as
to where they had their cotton giRned.

Lying. -
ax Rev. John A. Wray.

WAY back beyond the skyline OF his
tory. before the mountains were brought
forth or even the Lord had formed the
earth and the world, yes before the stars
sang together. before the morning glor1es
bloomed and the flowers gave forth their
sweetest perfume under the kisses OF
pure atmosphere, before sunshine ana
dew drops hung the diamond necklace
around the neck Of the rosebud before the
bird twitted love to his mate, to the oeii-
cate music OF the aeolian harps as their
strings were fingered by the soft breezes
kissing the face of the new born world
lying had it's birthday.
The Devil practiced this art IN the gard
en- Of long ago, and well did he execute,
for he poisoned a paradise and lured from
this haven OF smiles and home OF love
it's inhabitants to q sin-cursed world. Inc
poison he flung from his lying fangs has
been found, under the X-rays Of Gods
truth, to be mixed in the blood flowing
through all generations.
When I mediate upon this subject
almost find myself subscribing to be-
lief in evolution-evolution Of the har ana
lying.
THE first liar in the Garden OF Eden
was a snake; he crawled, but a few hun
dred years afterwards he had assumed the
form and garb Of man and his name was
legion in so much that David cried out In
haste: "An men are liars"
We know that today he no longer craWls
but walks and talks, shouts and sings;
cloaks himself in broadcloth as well as
tatters. in dress suits and walking skirts
and is found in high and low public and
private places.
Unlike many others that reached their
zenith in ages agone, this art or lying,
though aged, has lost none OF its popu-
larity and holds its place as one OF the
fine arts OF today. Possibly the Devil has
been surpassed in some instances, and
Swift speaks a truth when he says: AL
though the devil be the father Of lies he
seems like other great inventors, to have
lost much Of his reputation by continual
improvements that have been made upon
him"
There are big liars and little liars. young
liars; prevaricators, exaggerators ana
blanket stretchers." conscientious, occas-
ional and constitutional liars.
There are black lies and white lies,
spoken lies and acted lies; hbs and
stories. and there are others"
In the country of Siam, kingdom OF
Asia, he who told a lie was punished ac-
cording to law by having his mouth seWed
up.
II this prevailed today, II would be DIFF
ficult to have congregational singing, the
political stump speaker would be thing
of the past Congressional and legislative
halls would be beggared. and then we
would listen for voice that is still.
The editor having no rival, the newspa-
per would be given the right Of way.

Let us provide things honest before all
men and strive to have a conscience void
of offense toward God and man. Realiz-
ing the value of the great truth, as a

are true, honest and of good report let US
think on these things as

YOUNG MAN MISSING;
FRIENDS ON SEARCH

NEW YORK, Aug. T.-WiIberforce og-
den, the 21-year-old son of William Ogden,
a prominent Newark business man, has
been missing from his fathers home in
Chatham, n. j., since Monday.
Night and day parties Of friends have
searched the country for him, watching
every road. dragging the Passaic river
and nearby ponds. and even fighting their
way through the wilderness Of the great
swamp near Chatham.
Several months ago Ogden returned
from Vermont Theological seminary,
where he was studying for the ministry.
broken in health. Brooding over his fall
ure to finish his course Of study developed
melancholia. His condition improved, how
ever. and Sunday night the nurse ven
tured to leave him alone. Next morning
he was not to be found. During the night
he partially dressed himself, emptied all
his bottles Of medicine and left the house.
From that time nothing was heard Of
him until a tramp brought the news that
he had seen the boy asleep under tree
near Alton, six miles away, on Monday
night. Later a milk man saw him on the
Orange mountains. where he disappeared
in the underbrush.

with the understanding that the property
was continuously In operation. and from
that day to this, with few exceptions. the
one train, consisting Of a dinky engine
a combination coach and fiat car mas
made trip to the Elyria coal fields and
return every twenty-four hours. Hundreds
and hundreds OF times the engineer ana
fireman made up both crew and passen~s
gers.
From the LIST of December 1898, until thel
last Of March, 1892 1t is said the train did
not make a single through trip. The
snow during those months was from ten
to forty feet deep all over the mountains
Of Colorado, and for three months not a
run was made. One entire week OF the
time the train and crew were lost and
searching parties were sent out.
In 1888 Jay Gould made a trip to Colora-
do with the hope of securing a right or
way into Denver for the Missouri Pacif1csS
and probably but for one little incident
his road would today be running into Den~
yer, and the idea OF the Denver, North~
western and Pacific might never have
been conceived. Mr.. Gould had heard OIL
the Colorado and Eastern and determined
to buy 1t. One morning he notified the
officials that he would take a trip over it.
GOULD WANTED MORE SPEED.
The engineer got a tip. He knew his.
rolling stock was light and that the rails
weighed but eighteen pounds. There was
only one thing to do If he wanted to avoid
a wreck and give Gould good impression
Of the road, and that was to run his tratuI
not much faster than a horse car.
The officials of the road and the theus
great railroad king got aboard. But few
miles had been covered when Mr.. Could

engine, asked the engineer to run faster.

speed. Two or three times Mr.. Gould

would be. kept the even tenor Of his way
Pull that throttle wide open and let
her go!' demanded Gould, and the en-!
gfneer obeyed. The engine shot along the'
track at a fearful rate. Sometimes the
fat car was a foot from the rails, and
then again Il was high up IN the air.
From that day until the day he died h6s

New York Times.

For seventeen years the people Of Col
orado have wondered why the Colorado
and Eastern Railway company operated
a road at a cost of SIS day when the re-
cefpts, all told, amounted to less than 81
a day. The problem has at last been
solved. The company owned rights Of
way worth probably s5.000,0Oo, and to
suspend operations meant to lose the
franchise.
Purchasers OF the property have been
hard to find until now, from the fact that
the owners had nothing to sell except
rights of way and a little real estate, and
neither has been OF any value. The Den
yer, Northwestern and Pacific is, says the
Philadelphia Record, about to begin the
construction work on its line from Denver
to Salt Lake, and the Chicago and Rock
Island company wants a right OF way into
Denver and, az a result the two roads
have purchased the Colorado and Eastern
which has a most interesting history.
The road was built in 1855 from Eyria,
a suburb OF Denver, to the Scranton coal
fields, sixteen miles east OF Denver. The
company before building the road secured
several Thousand acres OF land, which con-
tanned millions Of tons OF coal, and for a
time Il looked as II the market would be
flooded, but before the world knew what
had happened the railroad company was
buying coal to burn In its one lone engine
and 1t has done so ever since.
Great bodies Of the Scranton coal were
opened UP and It appeared to be the best
on earth, but almost Immediately after 1t
was exposed to the weather the stuff went
through a chemical process similar to the
shaking Of burning limestone. Scientists
were puzzled and the only conclusion they
could reach was that nature in her deal
ings with that particular portion OF the
earth had not done her whole duty. In
other words, that the material has not
yet matured and that It will be hundreds
Of years before 1t. is available. When II
Is ready for use there viii be enough Of
n to supply the whole state OF Colorado
for a century.
The railroad had hardly been finished be-
fore this startling announcement was
made public. A million dollars had been
expended. The franchise was granted

enables II to bore for moisture and with
stand the dry weather of critical August
The plant now is q rich, oily dark green
and very vigorous. II has taken on
superb bottom crop and a splendid middle
one. The bolls are there and will be made.
The top crop, Of course. will be deter
mined by later conditions. 1t is automatic
that the last twenty days In August and
the first ten IN September determine the
size OF the crop, yet don't see how any
thing can stop this crop from being a
large one. This opinion IL confirmed by
the law Of rythm; for three years we have
had moderate crops and a big one is due.
THEODORE II. PRICE %.
It is important that the producers keep
posted on the position and watch the
market this season. We should cooper
ate in resisting low prices as we did IN
the fall OF 1900. and get the value OF our
staple this season. We cannot afford TO
sell cotton for less than to 8 cents. By
standing together we can force prices to
their legitimate value.

FREN(HNEN TO

NJ Pelterie, that Our operations Will
shortly play a considerable role, in the
worlds market. The climatic conditions
of the Sudan are the same as those OF
Egypt-dry and wet seasons alternating
regularly. There are also admirable Ia
cilities for irrigation. Moreover, we have
been able to acquire enormous stretches
Of land close to various means of trans
portation. We are convinced that we Will
be enabled speedily to outstrip the great
cotton industry of Egypt, while English
manufacturers are Offering to do all In

NJ. Lecomte, director of the colonial lab
oratory, has been asked to cooperate
with the syndicate by preparing an ex-
haustive report Of cotton culture in EGYPT
Thereafter he will go to the American gulf
coast to make similar Investigations. M.
Lecomte said this morning: This thing
has been in process Of realization for
several years and has only been awaiting
the purchase of lands and the acquies-
cence of some refractory members Of the
syndicate. Everything depends on the
quality of the cotton grown, but the out
look in that direction Is splendid"

~RPR ASHINGTON, Aug. 3-The peEki
N/ sistent and dtzcouraging real

concerning financial and busis
ness conditions in Cuba are tending tor
strengthen the feeling Immediately
after the return Of General Wood
that the new republic can not long be
maintained and the people Of the island
will seek annexation within q year. OnRs
fetal figures received show that the cus%5
toms receipts at Havana. which amounts
ed to an average OF more than $4,000 q
day during the American occupation, have
dropped to less than $4,000 day, and
have occasionally been as low as 5000.
Nearly all or the American clerks and
employees who were offered positions ur%s
der the new republic have returned to-
Washington, and without exceptions
make discouraging reports concerning the
conditions in the island.
It is not a matter of surprise. that the
customs receipts should decrease, since
the Cubans have not been able to dispose
of their sugar crop and are unable TO buy
as they would like, and It Is not surprising
that the Cubans should be discouraged
in their efforts to make their receipts cove

this condition, II Is said. has revived the
talk Of annexation among the Cubars
planters.
The reduction OF the revenues has conn.,

its expenditures. In doing that IL is one

forms inaugurated by the United States,

tary measures inaugurated by General
Wood in Havana and Santiago. Already
there is fear Of an outbreak Of yellow fe~i

appear it would be incumbent on this gov~i
eminent to inquire why the salutary
measures had been abandoned after the
Cuban constitutional convention had adop-
ted the Platt amendment. That amend~.
ment provided that Cuba should executor
plans to be mutually agreed on for the
sanitation of the islands TO prevent the
recurrence Of epidemics and infectious dis

the Cuban government, the United StateS
government must insist on the con-
tinuance Of these plans Of sanitation as
a means of protecting this country from

statements are to rule, there Is one thing
concerning which there is no disputing-
the actual present bigness of Mr., Gates
personality in the American security mar
ket Hardly a movement shows on the
stock exchange that Is not forthwith at
tributed to him. II stocks go up, he is
putting them up; If stocks go down, he
is putting them down. This is no freak
for Wall street. It has ever been so when
a strong man has been in the speculative
saddle: il was so in Mr.. Gould's day, as
over and over again 1t had been previous
"; It was so when Charles F. Woerish~
Defer was at the fore; so IL was in the
1898 panic times, when Addison Cammack
was ramming, jamming, damning valo-
rously; and so-more so-has it been in the
career of James r. Keene. And the fact
IS that in this condition Wall street has
seldom paid attention to the man who
did not deserve It.
No sluKgard, Gates, nor hesitator. Take
the Wall street record of the week just
ended, Cruising chronicles that pass cur
rent in every stock exchange quarterO
and Mr.. Gates has seemed to be in leader
ship throughout the whole list. Announc-
ing plans to take control Of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company he twisted UP the
stock a half dozen points or So. Chesa-
peakA and Ohio. Norfolk and Western, and
the rest Of the bituminous coal railway
group obtained activity and strength from
orders that Mr. Gates distributed. New
York Central and Pennsylvania In the
east, St. Paul and Rock Island out west,
Louisville and Nashville and Southern
railway In the south. and his friend
Goulds Missouri Pacific and Texas Pacific

Gus issues-have had buoyancy by courte-
sy Of Mr.. Gates. And incidentally he and
his friend Edwin Hawley at luncheon have
'twixt their cold gumbo and salad kept a
regiment Of brokers busy shooting Chicago
and Alton upward.
Such a week would provide phenome-
nal record for any stock exchange genius;
but the truth is that down in Wall street
the average looker-on is firm in the belief
that all the gossip and theory dispensed,
and all the tales told, purvey but the bar

SOME DoNT's FOR GIRLS.

It isn't at all likely that any girl who thinks
she is in love with a man Win heed "donts-
of any kind and she isn't u be blamed, but
she might paste the following In her scrap
book to read sometime in the future when she
feels lonely:
Don't marry a man with the hope OF res
forming him. II he is not eager 10 reform De-
fore marriage, IL Will be little snort OF
miracle IL he does afterward. The PROOF
OF a mans love should be his reformation. and
the girl who marries man who is stil en-
gagged in sowing wild oats earns the pun
ishTnent that is sure to be hers
Don't marry a man out Of pity, or out or
mistaken sympathy. Pity may be akin to- but
certainly Is not Iove-nor Is sympathy. Neither
sentiment IS q sufficient foundation for matri-
mony.
Don't marry a man because he is affectionate-
A good head is as necessary a good heart
and protestations of devotion never yet paid
a butchers bill
Don't marry a man because Of his good
looks II would be equally sensible TO marry
him because his clothes were well chosen and
well fitting
Don't marry man to spite another man.
Remember that by so doing YOU viii certainly
punish yourself, and very likely two other peo-
pie.
Above all, don't marry just because you ars
afraid that II you refuse this offer you may
not have another. Remember that often 'old
maids are far happier than their married
sisters and they nowise behind them in
having opportunities for usefulness.
