Southern Progress.

Macon News: The south is fast com
ing into her own. One Of the choicest
spots in the United States Of America,
there is no reason why this part of the
country may not become the wealthiest
and most prosperous part. 1t was shown
in a speech made by prominent southern
citizen at the Clemson gathering of south
ern planters, last week. that the increase
of capital invested in enterprises in the
south is 34s per cent, while In the United
States the increase was only 253 per cent;
that the increase In the value of products
of the factories In the south from 1880 to
1900 was go per cent. and In the United
States 142 per cent; that In 1880 there
were 1e4 cotton mills in the south with
SCI. $3.50 spndles; In 1902 there were $40 cot
ton mills with 6.4sO9H spindles. In 1860
there were in the United States 100000
spindles. and IN 1900 there were 100000
spindles. During the year 1902 there were
located tributary to the line of the South
ern railway 663 factories, having a capital

Honest Elections in the North.

From The Providence r. l.. Telegram J
We are inclined to applaud every word
of the editorial from the valued Atlanta
Constitution. produced elsewhere on this
page, dea ling with the opportunity for
Representative Crumpacker, the champion
of purity in elections. to labor In tho
north whore. in the republican-controlled
states of Rhode Island Vermont, New
Hampshire. Connecticut Delaware and
Pennsylvania. there is need of just such
reforms as Mr.. Crumpacker likes to talk
about as being vitality necessary in the
democratic south
1T viii re recalled that Mr.. Crumpacker
introduced a resolution in the last con-
sress providing for an investigation into
the practice of negro suffrage suppression
in the southern states.
He supported his resolution with the
argument that the south had represen-
tatOn in congress out OF all just proper
ton to the actual population of the states
represented. He claimed that while the
colOred citizens counted in the census
used as basis for apportioning the con-
Sressional representa- IN they were not
permitted to count at the pol,s and that.
therefore. until the negro was allowed to
exercise his right of suffrage, the number
Of southern representatives. in congress
should be reduced.
There is sound sense in the view that
the republican resormer Crumpackcr can
find work enough to do in the north and
west along the line of his speciality with
out going south. where he is neither want
ed nor needed. In his own western coun-
try-in Ohio. Indiana and llllnojs. all good
republican states at prescnt-he might put
Ia his spare time teaching the whites to
refrain from making murderous war on
the blaNss.
AS to Rhode Island many sincere re-
formers would welcome Mr. CrumpacSers
advice and assistance in dealing with the
evil conditions obtaining through the
reprehensible practices of the corrupt re-
publican machine.

PRISONER CAPTURED GUARD.
Alleged Criminal Turned Tables on
Sleeping Detective.

cheyenne, Wyo.. August 19.-Albert
Ecklund, alias George Johnson, who was
captured at Rawlns and was being taken
back to Chicago to answer the charge
OF grand larceny. effected remarkable
escape from Detective William Marsden.
Marsden left Rawlins last night with
Ecklund, and to make sure of his man
shackled him 10 a seat In the smoking
compartment of chair car. While
Marsden was sleeping beside his prisoner,
Ecklund went through the detectives
pockets. secured the keys to the shackles,
released himself and then shackled the
officer to the steam pipes.
Having relieved the officer of his weap-
ons and other property, Ecklund left the
train at Laramie. Marsden was not
awakened by the conductor until Che
yenne was reached. when he called for
assistance. AS Marsden had absolutely
nothing on his person to prove that he
was not a prisoner the tranmen would
not release him. The railroad authori-
ties telegraphed to Chicago for nstruc-
lions. and when the train reached Sgd
ney Marsden was finally released from his
predicament. Tonight he passed through
Cheyenne en- route to Laramie to try to
effect the recapture of his prisoner.

The Value Of Trade Mark.

A trade mark is usually some one par
ticular mark on goods to show their OH
gin. but, as matter Of fact, any new,
original quality, feature or characteristic
of an article of manufacture II widely
made known through advertising, be-
comes valuable as a trade mark, and is
protected by the courts. so that one artl-
Gle may have many trade marks that
belong to it alone. Thus. for example
in the case of Cascarets, Candy Cathar-
tic, the name "Cascarets" the EXPIRES
sion Candy Carthartic,'' the peculiar
shape and color of box, the octagonal
tablet. and the letters &c. E. c. on
each tablet, all are expressive trade
marks of that popular medicine. be-
cause they indicate their genuineness

have become universally known to the
