The promoters of cotton growing
experiments in Africa report salts
factory results so far as the tests
are concerned, but say 1.-The only
question is whether we can make
the natives work so as to put big
plantations on commercial basis. y
They further intimate that If the
negro population of the Southern
states of America could be trans
ported to that field of labor, there
would not be any question of max
ing England independent of the
rest of the world for raw cotton.
That is just what they will never
be able TO do, notwithstanding the
periodical threats of Liberia colo
nization schemes, the murmur on
the part of the Southern negro
about mot getting his rights" or
any of the other affairs that occas-
ionaly threaten to disturb our la
Dor system. The negro in his
present condition here is the best
situated laborer on the earth. and
is progressing too satisfactorily to
be induced to experiment with new
sad foreign Countries.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
finds comfort in the result of the
recent elections. and much to en-
courage the Democrats for the
campaign of 1901 There being
no organization of national char
acter the election hinged mainly
on the caprices of local issues and
influences, each playing It's part
according to circumstances The
Republicans on the other hand
hand had kept their organization
intact and were we'll prepared for
the contest The Senator says that
the wiser heads of the publican
party do not want: Roosevelt and
that if he is their candidate he will
be defeated.

A Magazine Thirty Years Old.

To do justice to this mum Der,
which for beauty and utility
touches the highest mark, it would
be necessary To print the entire
list of contents. 1t is sufficient to
state that in it the best modern
writer's and artists are generously
represented. The book contains
over go pages, with 81 full-page
illustrations, of which 20 are in
two or more colors. The magni-
tude of the December Delineator
for which 72S tons of paper aud
six tons of ink have been used,
may be understood from the fact
that 81 presses. running IA hours
a day, have been required to print
it: the binding alone of the edition
of $4,000 copies, representing
over 20,0OO,OOO sections which
had to be gathered individually by
human hands.

never made by any class of men.
No man ought to aspire to seat
in either the house or senate next
year who is afraid to make his
views known on all subjects which
are in the public mind. Every
candidate should be required by
the voters to answer without reser-
walton any questions that may be
asked him, and the electors should
exercise due diligence in learning
what policy ambitious citizens will
adopt if they secure enough votes
to land them at Jackson as part of
the law making body.
Mississippi is waking up and she
needs intelligence at the helm; men
Of broad ideas must come out and

Mr.. Jerome Hill of Memphis is
engineering a scheme to transfer
the storage of cotton from Liver
pool to New Orleans. He proposes
to erect two immense tireproof
warehouses east and one west
of the Mississippi river-at points
accessible to all the railroads and
steamships, with improved devices
for handling export cotton and for
moving it by electricity from cars
into the warehouses and loading
it on shipboard. The plan contem-
plates a reduction of charges of 20
to 30 per cent. lower than any Eu-
ropean port, and the benefits would
inure to American producers and
the worlds consumers.

TINE CONSUMED IN HOLIDAYS.
Special Dates Which Are HOnOred in
Various States.
New Orleans Embellishments

I'm the aggregate the people of the
United States spend about one. month every
year in the observance of legal holidays"
said an observant citizen, land yet we are
constantly talking about how we rush
things in this age. OF course, these OBJ
serVances are not uniform, for many of
them are peculiar to certain States and are
made legal holidays by special Legislative
enactment and are commemorative of
some event in the States history.
Here in Louisiana, for instance, we have
Jan. 8, which is the anniversary of the
battle of New Orleans There is Jan.
19. which is set aside as a legal holiday in
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia in honor of the birth
day of Robert Z. Lee. In Connecticut. Hi
nois. Minnesota, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wash
ington Feb. p is observed in honor of
Lincoln's birthday. Feb. p, Washingtons
birthday is a legal holiday in all the
States except Mississippi Texas cele-
brates March 2, which is the date Of the
crate memorial day in Louisiana, and April
20 is set aside in Texas in honor of the bat
tie of Jacinto. April &c is Confederate me-
mortal day in Alabama, Florida and Geor-
gia, while May 10 is set aside for this pur-
pose in the two Carolinas. The second
Friday in May is Confederate day I'm Ten
nessee. In North Carolina May 20 is set
aside in commemoration of the signing of
the Meckienburg declaration of independ-
ence. May 80 is Decoration day in all the
States and Territories except Alabama. Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana
Mississippi, New Mexico, the two Caro-
linas. Texas and Virginia. In Florida and
Georgia June g. Jefferson Davis's birthday,
is a legal holiday. Then there is the
Fourth of July. July "a is Pioneers day in
Utah In Vermont Bennington battle day
is observed Aug. Is. Sept. is Labor
day in certain States. Sept. 9 is admis-
sion day in California, Nov. 1 All Saints
day in Louisiana, the general election day
in November Thanksgiving day. Nov. 2S;
Labor day, Nov. %. in the parish of Or
leans; Christmas, Dec. %, and so on.
1T is a curious fact that there are no
statutory holidays i'm either Mississippi or
Nevada, but by common consent the usual
holidays are observed So, after all, we
have somewhat of sentiment left in this
country and do not hurry much we
think at times, and 1t is a good thing, too,
for we have time to reflect on these days
of rest and we profit by it in many ways"

TRADE in GOOD VOLUME
UNUSUAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS FOR
A MIDwINTER MONTH.
Travelling Statesmen Bring in Good
Orders and Bills Are Well Paid
Lighter Arrivals of Grain.

Trade has been unusually good during the
entire month. In most lines quiet times are
anticipated but more business has been
done than in any January of many years,
if not in the history OF the Indianapolis
wholesale houses. The dry goods houses,
the druggists, the leather dealers, the con-
fectioners and iron and steel handlers all
speak of their business being excellent
for winter months, and on Commission row
much more has been done in the aggregate
than is usual, so favorable most Of the
time has been the weather for shipping
fruits and vegetables. Prices a rule,
are not as strong as a week ago. Stocks OF
fruits and vegetables are larger than had
been expected. Especially is this true Of
vegetables, as Irish potatoes are in ample
supply to meet all requirements and for
egn potatoes are supplying Eastern mar
kets to a large extent, but prices are well
held at high figures as compared with for
mer years. The produce markets are In
strong tone except in eggs, which are COM
ing in more freely and prices have weak
ened somewhat. Hens and chickens are
in good request at prices quoted. and
choice butter is a fast mover. Cheese is In
good request with prices unchanged. In
groceries there is a good deal of activity,
the condition Of the country roads admit
ting of getting goods to places off the
railroads without the usual trouble in win
ter months. Prices on all groceries rule
fairly steady except sugars, which are
somewhat unsettled. Travelling statesmen
who came in Friday and Saturday report
conditions very favorable for early
and large spring trade. Financial condi-
tons of retail merchants, as a rule, are
good and their bills are being paid by their
customers with more than ordinary prompt
ness This, in turn, helps the retail mer-
chant TO keep his bills with wholesale
houses well met.

most as important part in attaining the

II is obviously of the greatest Importance
that II a physician orders a medicine he
should be able TO tell that ii is duly dis

be applied TO the products OF the kitchen.
No medical man would ignore the impor-

and the cook may well be regarded as a
chief officer in the service Of preventive
medicine.
