Arc Cotton Mills in Il Com
munity OF Real Benefit to
FarIncrsI
Mr.. II. Larry CAN'T, of Inman, S.
G., writes as follows on this interest
ing sub ject to the Atlanta Journal
have received several letters from
my old friends in Georgia asking me If
the building of q cotton mill in COM
munity was really beneficial to neigh
boring farmers. L must reply to this
question with two directly opposing
answers eyes," " No.
Here are the benefits that land own
ers and an agricultural class derive
from the establishment of a cotton
factory in their midst: The prices Of
surrounding land, for an area of some
three or four miles, is considerably in
creased, it's value being certainly
doubled, and in some instance thrib-
bled and quadruplcd. This is attri-
butabIe to the fact that mill popula-
tion are non-producels of agricultural
products and the farmer finds a ready
market for not only every stick of wood
he cuts, but all manner of vegetables
and surplus crops, much Of which
would otherwise 20 to waste. Again,
those mills furnish remunerative en-
ployment to the families of many far
mcrs. know IN Spartanburg County
came involved in debt and being un-
able to pay out with their cotton money
rented their farms, moved their entire
family to cotton mill and were thus
able to savc enough money to lift the
mortgages.
And just here let me state that hile
in some States and sections cotton mil
: people are looked down upon," it il
not so in this Piedmont section OF
; South Carolina. Many highly respect
cd and prominent families work in cot
ton mills, and they hold their heads al
: high as any one. Taken az class
the cotton mill operatives of this sec
tim in department, dress, moralit,
and general bearing and character viii
rank with the best agricultural or vii
lage communities.
0 But the building Of cotton mill il

0 drawbacks to a land owner, but thes
Q 40 not overbalance their benefits.
: tho first place, cotton mill natural
t creates . scarcity of labor on the farl
@ and tends to advance the wages of fiel
v hands.

A writer IN Forest and Stream tells
us of the methods the thrush adopts
in teaching his little ones to sing.
" Find," he says, ga family of wood
thrushcs and carefully note what takes
place. The old male thrush will sing
the sweet songs in loud, clear, flute
like notes once, and then stop to listen
while the young birds try to initiate
the song. Some will utter one note,
some two. Some will utter coarse
note, others q sharp note. After awhile
they seem to forget their lessons and
drop out one by one. When all arc
silent the old thrush tunes up again, and
the young thrushes repeat their efforts
and so It goes on for hours. The
young birds do not acquire the full
cong the first year; 80 the lessOns art
repeated the following spring. l take
many visitors into the woods to enjoy
the first thrushes' singing school, ant
ali are convinced that tho song of th'
wood thrush is matter of education
pure and slmple."

TIE SPIDER WEB.-Every student
and observer in nature, says the Chica-
60 Tribune, soon learns that the spider
remains in the center of the web that
it may feel the slightest motion caused
by any luckless insect which has been
caught in the sticky substance. Now,
if one will look closely at the spider he
will see that it hangs head downward.
One day, by suddenly frightening a
spider, man learned the secret of its
constant position upside down in the
web. 1t dropped head down, and
stopped when about half way to the
ground, and swung slowly to and fro
from the end of long thread of web.
IT it had been head up in the web it
would have been broken. After the
spider had swung at the end of it's web
for some time it thought all DANCE,
had passed, and turned and climbed ur
again. 1t rolled the web thread W
with it's fore.legs and then threw it t.
the ground. This was evidently don,
TO keep 1t from becoming tangled will
any of the web proper, or with gras
or weeds nearby. Any one who ha
touched a web knows that It ls stick
and hard TO ravel when once tangled
Certainly this bit of instinct is not alb
lsent from the SPIDERS brain.

A new explosive, which is said to bo
moro powerful than dynamite, maxi
mite or lydditc, and yet which may be
handled with absolute safety, has been
invented by Prof. G. M. Hathaway, of
Wellsboro, Pa. Itis named hathamite,
after it's inventor, and at recent pub
lie test Prof. Hathaway demonstrated
it's safety by pounding the explosive
upon an anvil, throwing it into fire
and firing rifle bullets through it at a
speed of 1860 feet second. In order
to fire the new explosive it is necessary
TO use a strong dctonating cap.

has beon securing tho country between
ltentOn and Black River Junction. a
large territory has been sentried, ant
it is believed that Tracy is hiding IL
the dense woods of this district. Guards
have been stationed at every road III
the section. 1t is believed that he viii
soon make his appearance at some
house and demand food, as he is known
to be without supplies. The rumol
that Merrill has joined his murderous
comrade cannot be substantiated.
| No one knows the exact where
abouts of the desperate. A Salem
pcnitentiarY guard who is with the
party at Renton, is certain that Merrill
and Tracy are once more together.
Three suspicious looking individuals
have been captured at Renton. 1t ID
thought that they may be three of the
four men who met Tracy at Black
River bridge Monday night and walked
through Rentor in the convlct's COM
pany. At the Jail they gave their
names as Andy Nelson, Tom Madden
and Phil Ritchie. The first two say
they are loggers aud the third says he
is an iron bridge builder. Their state
ments are conflicting. A dillgent
search is being made for the fourth
alleged accomplice, who is thought to
II hanging around Renton or may
have joined the convict. Rumors are
rife that the fourth man is mono other
than Merrill, but this ls generally dis
credited.
SEATTLE, WASH, July 1O.-Tracy,
the outlaw, has to all intents and pur-
poses disappeared from the face of the
earth. All that the authorities can do
is to wait until he enters another home
or holds some one up. Rumors OF the
widest description concerning the
convicts whereabouts are flying around
on ell sides.
Public interest in the Renton es-
capade show no sign of decreasing. In
the excitement following Tracy's flight
through one of the woods, one i'm
portant item was overlooked. lie told
Miss May Baker at the Grennell's
home that his real name was Harry
Sevvge, and that Tracy was his crimi-
nal nom de plume. Whether the mur-
dercr was speaking the truth is mat
ter of speculation.
In connection with the Renton liasco,
'Tracy's story is questioned by large
number of people. Many incidents
support this theory. Anderson's state
ment concerning the murderer's four
friends whom he met after he landed
in Seattle is conclusive. No doubt
now remains that Tracy is receiving
assistance.
With this outside help Tracy's en-.
trance to the Grenncll's home becomes
cxplanable. He was not hungry. Moth
ing that he did or said at the house |
could excuse his carelessness. In fact, |
The only thing he did EXCEPT talk to the |
was to wash himself.
Again, the fact that he sent strange |
boy down town to sell the watches and |
buy rcvolvers, looks queer. In addi-
ton to the watches, Tracy gave the |
young man SO, every cent he had in
his possession, and when he took his |
departure the whole matter, boy and
watches had evidently passed from his
mind.

How TO BE IUCKY.--In recent
number of IYollace's Htrmer the
editor tells his readers how to be lucky,
and as the prescription il not copy
rightcd we pass on the secret for which
many are yearniny:
Go to sleep at ten, wake ut SIX,
and get up when you wake. Eat what
is set before you and don't grumblc.
DO the work that lies before you in
tho very best way you can, all the
while thinking how you can do it bet
ter. Until you are forty do more than
you ask pay for; after that you will get
pay for more than you do. Don't
wobblo cithor in your walk or your pur-
poses. Don't learn to chew or smoke
or drink. Don't allow yourself to lie
or swear or take advantage Of the ne
cessities of the unfortunate. Look
habitually on the bright side of things,
but don't fear to look on the dark side
when it is turned toward you. Believe
that God intended you to be a credit to
Him, and that nothing really bad can
happen to you 80 long as you trust
HIM. BE economical without being
stingy, plain spoken but not rude. Bo
as shrewd as you can, but honest by all
means, for no one wants to employ
shrewdncss without honesty nor dipl0
macy without sincerity. If misfortunes
come, make the best of them and don't
cry over split milk.
elf you do al these you will b'
lucky, for You will be the sort of mar
always in demand everywhere in al
this WIDE world. A JOB will always b'
waiting tor you and the older you be
come the more profitable will be you

ington have declared their Intention OF
giving him all the support he requires.
1t Is estimated that In the Alliance
(Neb.l district alone there are 6. 200
acres OF government land fenced in.
representing property value OF nearly
| $10.0OO.0O0. On this land are nearly
400. 900 head of cattle.
OF course apart from government in
reference the cattlemen have plenty OF
trouble on their hands from the sheep
herders and small ranchers- Their
main grievance Is the ''rustler." who
will swoop down on a herd OF cattle
and, aided by his fellows. steal many
before the cowboys can come to the
rescue. AS a result OF this and of the
methods employed In retaliation by the
cattlemen the war on the range" as il
may be called. has led to a regular
trade in assassination. 1t is estimated
that the range feuds claim at least 500
victims annually.
This aspect OF the struggle was re-
Gently brought before the public very
WILDLY when Tom Horn. q noted scout
and Indian fighter. was arrested In
Wyoming. charged with having MUIR
dered William Nickel, son OF a settler
who had aroused the enmity OF some
big Wyoming cattle interests. Horn is
now in Jail at Cheyenne. and it is al
legged that he has confessed that he had
killed other settlers and had been paid
q certain sum by a cattle company for
every foe he removed.
The killing of the Nickel boy was
preceded by the murder of two ranch
men In the Iron mountain district
These men were both shot. one of them
being killed as he was entering his cat
tie corral. The Nickel boy was done to
death not far from his fathers cabin
The elder Nickell's fences had been
cut. and he had threatened to retaliate
by poisoning all the cattle that strayed
on his ranch. This is thought to have
led to the assassination of his son.
Occurrences such as these have help
ed TO arouse the federal authorities to
a sense OF the terrible conditions which
now prevail in the cattle country. Colo
mel Mosby's determined stand should
do much to simplify things. and the
heXt step will be in the direction OF ef-
fecting peace between the warning fac
tiOns of the live stock men. The Solu-
ton Of this problem will be especially
difficult but it is imperative that a So
tuition be found.
