NEW YORK July 23.-The weather all over the South today was again of a character cal- culated to help the crop, but this was lost sight of. It appeared. however. that here and there, the weather has been keeping rather dry and there a possibility of absence of moisture going to play more important part than has been the case this season. Early cables were far better than looked for, and the general situation was growing stronger simply from the question of supply and de- Ynand. the supply being practically exhausted, and the trade being in a state of suspense as

Town Will Have Sewarage System
 By Next Summer.

Demopolis. July 3.-(Special. 1.-The sew
 craze bonds have arrived, and as soon as
 they can be cpunteTsigned, will be for
 warded. They are of the denomination
 of $500, with SIP 50 coupons and bear per
 cent interest. There are fifty of these

 to one firm, with no commission for mak-
 ing the sale. The entire fund of $25,0O0 Is
 available at once and Mayor Ely expects
 active work to commence before Septem-
 Der, and before another summer Demop-
 olis will have a complete and thorough sewerage system.
 This is evidence of the wonderful en- terprise and progress of this city and re- fleets much credit upon the present ad-
 ministration for the prompt fulfillment of that pledge. Bids will be received for the sewerage work until August 15. when they will be opened and the contract awarded.
 Last Tuesday little Oln Kennamer, son Of Postmaste w. F.. Kennamer, was se- verely bitten by d bull dog owned by Wade Tewman. The little boy had been
 up town and was crossing the street near the Southern Grocery Company. The dog seeing him run across the street. ran af- ter him, grabbing him by the right arm. The boy thinking the dog was playing, jerked To )se and started on. when the dog gra bbed him the second time. sinking his
 tusks in the arm. The screams of the
 boy attracted the attention of his mother
 and a number of neighbors, who ran to
 his rescue. A physician quickly respond ed to a summon and found deep and very painful wound.
 Chief Monnier of the police force of this city. made very important capture a few days ago. On the night of the 18th inst d robbery was committed at York Station. and when a description of the burglars was learned by the York
 officials Chief Monnier of this city was notified. In half an hour he located and | arrested the two negroes who committed the burglary and turned them over to the York authorities. They gave their names as John Reid and John Page. Shortly after arresting and turning them
 over to the York authorities. Chief Mon-
 nier received a telegram from Chief | Bloodworth at Meridian, stating that John Reid was wanted in Meridian, and hat John Page was wanted very badly
 in Laurel, Miss.
 His Honor, Mayor Ely. was confronted | this week at his regular weekly term of | court with just twenty-five cases on the | docket. No serious charges were preferred against any one. however but the charges
 were quite varied in nature. including dis orderly conduct, non-payment of dog tax, gaming vagrancy, abusive language, fall | ure to work the streets and jumping trains. Seventeen were found guilty and | fined, seven discharged and one continued.

More than one dime novel publishing
firm has made a fortune at the business
Of providing literature for Young Amer
lea, and that in the days when they paid
a writer from SIS to $3.50 for a story.
Things are done differently now.
Each dime novel publishing house en-
plOys a STAFF Of writer's, who receive a
regular salary. Besides the staff of reg
ular contributors persons who can be
depended upon to turn in a fixed amount
Of copy every week. each publishing
house has a list Of workers who can
write a story to order and at short
notice.
When a regular writer falls I'll or takes
a vacation. or when some special event
happens which makes a foundation for a
plot for a popular novel, one of these

SAWS THAT ARE SET
WITH PRECIOUS GEMS
Those Used in Slate Quarries Have Dia-
monds in Them.

Probably the most expensive saws II
use anywhere in the world are those
in the factories Of Pennsylvania where
articles are manufactured Of slate. IN
one of these factories there are 300 hort
s.ontal saws, twelve feet in length. each.
Of which Is furnished with seventy
cutting diamonds. each saw being worth
IS. 0OO The slate land which furnishes
Tho material for these costly saws to
work upon was once so little valued that
the tract upon which the famous Chap
man quarry in Pennsylvania is situated
was sold for a pint of whisky. It's subse
quent owners have taken millions Of
dollars from the land.
The most valuable slate deposits in
the world are found in the central and
eastern parts Of Pennsylvania. In tho
ueighborhood Of the Pennsylvania quar-
ries there are houses whose walls are
entirely Of slate. The blocks OF which
they are made are smoothly sawed, anc
are certainly most substantial
When slate is blasted in the quarries
the rough slabs are taken TO the shan
ties of the 'splitters." The stone
forms naturally the layers, and the
splitter" following the grain or rib
bon with his large chisel. separates
the blocks into strips. Then these strips
are passed through a trimming ma
chine, where by the blows OF n heavy
knife they are cut into rectangular
shingles" Then they are piled up into
squares" ready to be used for roofing
purposes.
When slate is cut up for use in other
ways the procedure differs. The huge
horizontal saw. with its scores of dia-
rnonds. in the factory is called into
play; it is lowered upon one OF the
blocks Of slate by n ratchet at the
rate OF a quarter Of an inch a minute.
The saw would cut through iron or steel
at the same rate. The wOrkmen play
a stream of water upon the slate to
keep 1t cool and wash the dust from
the cut after the saving the block is
planed by being moved back and forth
by machinery under a firmly hXed
chiseI. II is afterward polished much
as marble and granite are. The value
