COTTON MILLS IN SOUTH.
New England Manufacturers Plan
 to Come to Dixie.

Boston Special to N. O. Times-Democrat.
 It is said that several of the cotton manufacturing companies in New Eng land are planning to establish plants in the South for the manufacture of cotton goods. While some If the companies will transfer part of the business that is being now done in their New England factories, others will increase their business by building additional plants in the Southern States.
 The coarser grades of cotton goods can be manufactured in the South at great ly reduced cost as compared with that in New England, which is the chief cause given for manufacturing this class of goods in the South.

 It is humlliating to find President of the United States uttering such rot as the following from Roosevelt's recent speech at Shsgpsburg:
 Every friend of liberty, every believer in self-government, every idealist, who wished to see his ideals take practical shape, wherever he might be in the world, knew that the success of all in which he most believed was bound up with the success ofthe Union armies in this great struggle
 In plain words. according to this flam- boyant orator, if the Con5ederates had won the battle of SharpsbGg, or Antie- tam liberty and self-gove rnment would have been destroyed Even the eXigen- cies of such an occasion cannot excuse such a perversion of truth and condi- tions Even if the ConfedeIates had been successful, not only in that battle. but in all that followed, and had succeeded | in establishing separate government, both North and South would still have retained a Republican form of govern ment, and the liberties of the people would not have vanished from the con- tinent. The President should talk sense if he can.

Primitive Sleds.

From history we learn that the boys
In the time of George III. coasted on
sleds made of q small board, with
beef bones as runners. But these drop
ped out of sight when an inventive gen.
ius built one out of a barrel stave, for
his invention was extensively copied.
The barrel slaves were called Jump
ers" and shippers" and were made Of
q single barrel stave of moderate width,
to which was nailed twelve inch seat
post about amidships. A piece Of bar
rel head constituted the seat. To navi-
gate this craft required no little skill,
the revolutions performed by the rider
while "gettin' the hang Of the derned
old thing being akin to the antics Of
a tenderfoot on bucking broncho. A
more stable and docile jumper was
made by fastening two or three slaves
side by side, but these were not con-
sidered as fast travellers as the single
staves.-Outing.

When Umbrellas Were Heavy.

The great objection to umbrellas 100
years ago was their weight, and when
it is stated as matter of fact that the
very smallest umbrella then weighed
no less than three and half pounds it
will probably be admitted that the OBJ
lection was a justifiable one.
Instead of the thin rainproof fabrics
which now form the covering of UNI
brellas nothing better was known than
leather or Oilclotn. The ribs were of
wood or whalebone. and such thing as
steel rod was, of course, unknown.
The stick was usually of heavy oak. IN
those days, too. many umbrellas had
the additional incumbrance of feathers
over the top, on the theory of 'shed-
ding water off n ducks back" But the
oilcloth and leather umbrellas. notwith
standing the feathers. were apt to leak

REVEALS CRIMINAL NEGLECT.
Jury Hears Details of Disaster Which
Brought Death to Engineer.

The Coroner'S jury selected to inveSti-
safe the death of NJ. Shean, the engineer
who died as the result of the collision be
tween the Stockton and Sacramento local
and extra freight in East Oakland on
December 23d, commenced their work
yesterday morning. Their sittfBg was ad-
journed until the testimony could be had
of Conductor HanlOn and Engineer
Dixon, the men<who have been discharged
for their alleged responsibility for the
accident.
Revelations of somewhat sensa tionaI
nature were disclosed by the testimony
of Tom Gilmartin, fireman on the i'll
fated local passenger train, and T. 3.
Smith. fireman on the freight which
caused the disaster. Both averred that
when at a register station where orders
were received for the further passage Of
the train, Dixon accepted the signal of
the conductor to go ahead without wait
ing for the written order. This they de-
clared was In contradiction to the most
stringent orders, as in this case the en-
gineer fails to act as a check upon the
possible misconception of the conductor.
The gist of the testimony plainly point
ed to Dixon and HanlOn, the discharged
men, as responsible for the wreck, but
the jury will withhold it's decision until
those men appear to speak for them
selves.
