Canning Factory Question

We have on number of occasions
urged the erection of . canning fac
tory in Covington, and we believe
our suggestions in this direction
will eventually bear fruit. A writer
in the Monroe Bulletin is urging
the same thing, and we quote from
his letter as follows:
II think il we are going t" agitate
ANYTHING it should he canning facto-
ries. Our lands arc admirably
adapted to producing vegetables
and fruits for canning purposes
Why should there not be canning
factoriee in Monroe? l believe the
day is not far distant when there
will he Something Of the kind is
bound to come sooner or later.
don't know OF anything that
will be Of more practical benefit to
the small farmers than the establish
ment Of canning factories in their
midst. The advantages Of canning
factories may be summarized as
follows:
They bring capital into the
country, open up home market
for our surplus products that would
otherwise be wasted, thereby en-
abling us to grow greater variety
of money crops, and furnish
ready market for these crops for
cash at time when cash is most
needed by the farmer.
2.-They bring about u more gen.
eral state of prosperity and satis-
faction.
3.-rhey furnish employment To
large numbers of our children dur.
ing the summer months that would
otherwise be idled away, thereby
having moral and educational value
as well as being a financial benefit.
The canning factory was started
in Donaldsonville Tuesday after
noon, when 1858 two-pound cans Of
blackberries were put up before one
OF tie air pumps got out. of oroer
and delayed operations until the
following day. A start vii be made
on tomatoes Monday, but this will
not interfere with the canning Of
berries, as the management intends
to handle all of the berries brought
to the factory. This crop is abund-
ant just now, but it will not last
very long, hence the boys intending
70 make little money during their
vacation had better hurry Into the
blackberry regions. 1t does not
take long to ill q pail or two with
berries, and the factory is paying |
fifteen cents . gallon for all it can
get. A sample can of the berries
was sent to The Chief office through |
tue courtesy Of the management,
and the product OF Donaldsonvllle's
new enterprise vac declared de-
lioious by the recipients, who are
that goods bearing the
label OF the DunaldsOnville Canning
will soon be among the
standard articles on the market.
Donalds0nviIle Chief.
The Alexandria canning factory
! new enterprise, has contracted for
$1,000 bushels Of sweet potatoes 70:
canning purposes. The concern
recently put up 5000 cases Of snap
beans in a run Of two days.

Convention VS. Primary.

The Vernon News finds little
satisfaction in the nomination oi
state officers by Convention or State
primary, hut on the whole rather
favors the CONVENTION. In its las,
issue it says:
''But the question plainly is,
does the primary pla,, offer any
thing as an improvement on the old
convention plan? We are afraid no:.
How many Of Us have forgotten
the old Foster McEnery primary
which developed Que of the most
bitter aud acrimonious campaigns
ever known in the political history
of the State. Democrat was srrsyed
against Democrat: in the worst kind
of political warfare and the public
mind was lnda,ned almost ~ =
frenzy. When the smoke OF the ~.
r,ous battle had cleared away, there
were charges galore Of fraud, cor
ruption, ballot box stufing and
everything, and there are thousands
Of people to-day who believe that
Murphy J. Foster came by his de.
clared nomination through cleatcut,
fraudulent means.
Then let US come = little nearer
home. Let US retrospect over the
incident of the last seventh district
congressional primary. What was
a more disgusting condition IT po-
litical affairs for honest men to con.
template than shat? elimination and
recrimination was the shib0leth Ut
either side and ballot box stufang
went on at the same old pace ~ 1T

 Manuscript.

Interest has been created at Carbon. dale, H.. over a discovery made by Marshal Tenrod, who lives on farm near Dougola. Recently Penrod gruhbed a back oak stump out of po- tato field close to his residence and found a stone about a foot long and eight inches in diameter The peculiar shape of the stone, which resembled a poeketbook, attracted his attention and, upon close examination, he found carved on it's face in the English lan- guage the following words; This stone contains the original manuscript of Moroni (Mormon) Joseph Smith g The ravages of time had apparently made but little headway on the stone and upon closer examination he found the stone was hollow and hole drilled entirely through it and at both ends red cedar plugs had been driven in Upon removing one of the plugs several sheets of parchment were found con- taining writing in hieroglyphics that could not be deciphered

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mishaps on British Batt9.sship TAa.4. Caused Fear
 the.1e t1lts nAAsA

While the Fa.tish battleship Thur aeT Was off Milford Haven, Wales, not long ago a curious accident to one of her guns caused much alarm among her crew. target had been put out for practice with the ten-inch breechloading guns, When one was fired by electricity only portion of the proiectile was discharged, the base plate of the shot and a portion of the frame being left in the gun. When the plate was removed the pres. sure of gas forced portion of the proiectile from the breech of the gun On the second gun being fired a hole about three inches in diameter was blown through the projectile, the other part of the base plate being left behind. The base plate was in this case separated from the rest of the proiectile.
 Such accidents are believed never previously to have occurred on board any ship There was much alarm among those in the turret, as the bursting of the guns was for a time feared. It is suggested that either the powder in the projectiles was damp or there was water in the guns, So far as can be seen both guns are sound
