MORE MONEY IS NEEDED.
Plau of American Cotton Company to
 Raise $1,5O0,OOO.

New York, August 2o.--.Wi1liam Nelson. counsel for the reorganization committee of the American Cotton Company made today a statement which says in part:
 The American Cotton Company be- gan operations in 1898 upon the intro- auction of the new round lap bale pro- cess for baling the staple product of the South; over $4.000.000 has been in- vested in the introduction of the round lap bale in the United States ana in Europe. 1t being protected by patents. both home and abroad.
 The company owns q large foundry in Chicago and in nine Southern cities owns eighty-three different plants and also leases out presses at 215 other points. Agencies for the sale of the product in the United States, France. England. Italy and Russia are estab- lished. Its business last year amount- cd to over $15,000, ,000.
 Tn establishing this large organiza- ton and accomplishing these results. the working capital has been consum- cd; no mortgage lien, however. exists upon any of the property. An addi- tional working capital fund of s1.50O.- 900 Is considered by the mama cement advisable for the effective and pros- porous operation of business, and to provide this fund q readjustment of the capitalization of the company has become necessary. Accordingly, re- organization committee consisting of Cornelius N. Bliss A. b Julliard. J, Edward Simmons, F. c. Converse. Wil- liam c. Lowering and Maxwell wood- hull has been formed
 The principal features of the plan Is that the creditors and Stockholders are to unite in purchase of the first mortgage bonds in the proportion per centum on the holdings of the orefIf- tors. twenty per centum upon the holdings of the preferred stock. ana rive percentum upon holdings of com mon stock and that the creditors con- vert their holdings into seven per cent preferred stock. having preference
 both as dividends upon liquidation ana | being further secured by a provision | that no mortgage nor increase of pre- ferred stock shall ever be made with.
 out the consent of eighty per centum or such new preferred stock
 therefore, by the consumation of the pian' the reorganized company will
 continue operations with an amnJe
 working capital. mortgage indebed-
 ness of about $1,500, ,0OO, and with al,
 present floating indebtedness dis
 charged. The holders of a very lsrga
 amount of indebtedness and stock os
 the company have already consented ta

SWIMMING STRAITS OF DOVER.
Three Men Will Attempt to Accomplish
 Marvellous Feat.

Dover, Eng, Aug 2O.-Three swim mers are attempting to cross the straits of Dover this year. Montague Holbein. Jack Haggerty and s. w. Greasely, Holbein. who has made in the last few years four attempts to swim across the channel, entered the waters on a fifth attempt at 4:30 p. m. today. starting from a point near Lyd- den Spout, westward of Dover. flag gertv started from the admiralty pier here at G D. m. This is Haggerty's first attempt to cross the channel Greasely will take the water at high tide tomorrow morning.
 They all hope to reach Cape Gris Nez on the French coast near Boulogne- e-sur- Mer within twenty hours. Experts say the conditions are favorable.
 The sea is calm tc night. There Is much popular interest In the at- tempts owing largely to the fact that each swimmer represents London paper and that the three papers have boomed their respective contestant for several weeks. Haggerty and Greas- ely are unknown quantities and are making their first attempts, while Hoi- bein. on account of his persistence Tn previous efforts. is perhaps the favor ite He is 43 years of age. Haggerty IS 1 3S~ and Greasley is 33.

OUT OF THE RUT.
A New Establishment That Brings
a New Line of Goods.

By the acquisition OF Shipman d
Ragland, Loulsa's mercantile IA
cllitles have been broadened very
considerably. They are carrying
qualities aud styles OF goods that
have not been handled here before.
Mr., Shipman resigned a good
position with Graves, Cox & Go.
the leading clothing and furnish
ings firm OF Lexington, KY, in
order to go into business In Louisa.
He not only knows the ready
made clothing business thoroughly
but also the. custom work. He
takes measures for clothing OF all
kinds and guarantees satisfaction.
His line OF custom goods consists
Of pieces Of cloth large enough to
show how the suit will look. Step
In and look them over and see how
reasonable the prices are.
Mr., Ragland was for several
years travelling salesman for a
large shoe manufactory. His
knowledge OF shoes is thorough
and he pays particular attention
to this part OF the business In this
new store. He is also an expert
filter, having had long experience
In a large retail shoe store as a
filter and salesman, Thus, all de-
partments OF the establishment
are In the hands Of specialists.
You can buy clothing, collars,
ties, hose, shirts and shoes here fit
TO wear anywhere, without feeling
that perhaps you look like "back
number" or an advertisement for
a "job lot" house. Their goods
are reasonable and you can de-
pend upon them as such. IL you
have not heretofore been able to
find suits here for your boys, try
Shlpman & Ragland. See their
line Of Cluett q Peabody collars
direct from the factory. Those
who have seen their ties say that
no such stylish and varied line
has ever before been seen here
This Ia the time OF year when yol
should buy good shirts. Ho
weather will soon be here and yol
can not look presentable In faded
shirts. S. 4 RS line is up.to-date
Top the outfit with suitable ha
selected from this tasteful stool
and you will be happy all sum
, mer. Particular attention !
: called to the fact that thew carr.
/, Krippendorf's and Drew Selby'
: ladies foot wear on both Mario,
and wide lasts. This enable
them to ut any lady perfectly,
fact that will be appreciated
After all their stock gets 1t Wi
no longer be Necessary to buy shoe
! from the city.

The Water Works.


w. +. Cox, who bid In the last
franchise sold for water works in
Louisa, wrote the City Clerk last
week that he would begin the work
of putting in the plant within
thirty days. 1t is now reported,
however, that he is confined to his
bed at Pikeville with an attack OF
fever. Mr.. Cox has gone right
along and made all necessary ar
rangements, SO he reports, and as
this is not his first experience in
building water works, he ought to
know how to proceed In such mat
tiers.
This will be Il big help to Louisa
and according to the estimates
made 1t Will ALEC prove good pay
ing Investment to the owners.
The next thing in order is t
make a pull for some factories anc
mills. We have various kinds o
raw material all around here ant
this will soon be a fine shipping
point. We can secure some indus
tries II the proper effort is made.

Spring Poetry.

Don't you think 1t is time to got
Ever since November last,
With ice aud sleet and chilly blast
You've given MS little but
snow.
Once we really thought you'd gone.
The blue birds came and sang awhile.
The blossoms threw their scents afar,
And the nights were wild; while the
evening star
Looked on an earth alight with smile,
But, say old fellow, what's this we see :
The birds are hushed. the blossoms
black.
The clouds hide the face of the evening
star,
And the flowers that threw their scents
affair
Seem sorry that they so soon cam,
back.
And, say, old fellow. quit being Airt
its not becoming an old thing like yo'
Thus TO sit in the lap Of Spring,
You know she's giddy, silly thing
Aud cannot help the things you do.
So quit your fooling and let her be.
BE off with your ice and nasty snow,
Pack your grip and next December
Not earlier, though, you'll pleas
remember
You may come and give us anoth'
