Military College Suspends.

Maury, the superintendent, goes to
Gainesville, Tex, to take charge Of
a female college. His work in the
city of Water Valley was exception

school work, and the failure of the
college to thrive can be attributed
to no other cause than that the
country surrounding is not yet ready
for a military school. Much regret
was felt at the departure Of Col.

ne state board of arbitration"
he said, has rapidly grown in i'm
portance until it now ranks among
the most potent factors in the indus
trial world. The arbitration law, as
first enacted, proved to be defective
in many respects, leaving the board
practically without power to do any
thing. From time to time the law
has been amended, until now it is
quite commonly looked upon as being
in advance of all other state arbitra-
ton laws. The results accomplished
have inspired public confidence in the
board. 1t has saved millions of dol
lars to employers and employees. The
preservation of industrial peace is of
such high Importance to all of the
people that an agency which contrib
utes SO much to that end as this
board has contributed, and as it will
contribute in the future, ought to re-
ceive the most liberal consideration
at the hands of the general assembly.

SOUTHERN oLEANlNcS
The Cotton Situation.

A month ago the prevailing cotton
estimates ranged between 10,75O,OOO
and 100000 bales. On that basis .
healthy trade was looked for, as all
indications pointed to a consumption
of fully eleven million bales. Thus,
while most people did not look for
any material advance in prices, few
expected any decline, it being argued
that even should the crop prove as
much as eleven million bales, there
would not be enough to go around
end leave sufficient surplus stocks.
The month of December, developed
bad weather, which undoubtedly az
fected the movement to some extent.
Bad country roads and a scarcity of
rolling stock on the railroads were
given as the explanations of the
shrinkage in the movement of the
crop to market, and although without
doubt these influences, particularly
the bad roads, interfered some with
the movement, the fact that there has
been no marked increase in the deliv-
cries of cotton at either ports or in
terror towns has created feeling in
the trade that probably the crop has
been overestimated, and may after all
not prove larger than that of last
year.

teen hours in every twenty-four. but
interest on the cost of the plant is ac-
cruing every hour and minute of the
night as well as the day. With an
eight-hour day and three such days in
the twenty-four hours. production will
be increased and be more economical.
That this is not theoretical, says Mr..
MoIdenke, may be seen from the actual
fact that in the lumber industry the
night gang is always able to turn out
more material than the day men, hour
for hour. There is not the necessity
to take in dog fights, gossiping and the
like, which is very detrimental to a
continuous and strenuous output. In
the mines, where it is night all the
time, no difference in the rate of pro-
duction is noticed. We build immense
plants. We have them full to-day and
nearly deserted tomorrow. This is not
political economy, and means that
when the hard times do hit us we take
work at less than cost. Many nice,
fat surplus is wiped out in the hard
times. This is not right, and perhaps
the three eight-hour shifts mentioned
above may help to solve the difficulty
in a measure, for smaller plant will
do for the normal output, a tightening
up of conditions is met by cutting
out one shift, and hard times with one
turn, or even less, at work, where
otherwise vast establishment will run
shorthanded three days a week.
This is plausible. If Sunday can be
added to some such arrangement then
the time will all be occupied.
