 At a recent meeting of the stock holders of the Oh swalla cotton mills. the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: George H. Dent, Eli 8. Shorter, B. B. Mckenzie. s. T. Rice, L. Y.

 Miss Dolly Pippin and Robert Helms, two popular young people who reside six miles south of Louisville, were married at the home of the brides parents on Friday evening last. Soon after the ceremony the young couple accompanied by a large concourse of friends repaired to the home of the groom's parents a few miles away and enjoyed a most elegant repast.
 The rain throughout this section only had tendency to allay the dust and streams and wells do not seem to have been the least effected. A great scarcity of water is being complained of in various parts of the county.
 Lots of cotton still remain in the country to be hauled to market. Most every farm house has from six to a dozen bales carefully stored away, and in some instances farmers have from eight to a dozen bales yet to be ginned owing to the scarcity of water the gin- reries had to cease operations. Every farmer seems inclined to hold for higher prices which they think they will get after the election.

Advertising comuuitleu.

ne Edltor and Publisher.
 The Commercial and Industrial As- sociation of Montgomery, Ala, decid- ca last week to conduct rather sub stanttal advertising campaign for the purpose of acquainting the outside world with the city's resources and ad- vantages. The week before, the Paci- ic Advertising Mems Association dis cussed at length the project of an ad- Verttsing campaign to rejuvenate the market for California fruits. which has been demoralibzed by ruthless compe- tition on the part of the growers. Not long ago speaker before a distin- guished company of business men sug- gested that 1t would be advisable for we'll organized bureau to keep it's at fractions before the country. In Texas there Is a movement to establish a bureau in New York for supplying the newspapers with matter of interest concerning the Lone Star State.
 All this goes to show the growing tendency to introduce the healthful influence of advertising Into every that publicity has got beyond the ex- perimentental stage, has overcome the prejudices formerly held by the ultra conservatives, and is now recognized to be as important a factor in business as is system, the maintainance of reputa- ton for quality of goods, or any of the many other things that make for success in the commercial world. If advertising is good for business. 1t is reasonable to presume that 1t Is good for cities, for States. for a political party, in fact. for anything that has merit behind 1t.
 One thing that is particularly grati- flying In the Montgomery proposition is that the advertising Is to be done through the newspapers and class Journals, and Is to be conducted by practical advertising men. Indeed. If these men had not chosen such medi- ums the word practical could scarce- iy be applied to them.

She matches chickens that come to some good, most editors hatch sche- mes that never amount to anything The hen presents her bill when she wants something and usually gets 1t: the edi- tor presents his bill and hardly gets anything. The hen has wings: the editor has none and never will have. The hen isn't a highflyer; the editor is-sometimes. The hen broods and raises a large family; the editor broods over how he is to raise the large fami- ly he already has. well as over vast ed energies and lost opportunities. The hen is a rooster when she sleeps; the Aditor Is booster when he doesn't sleep. The hen often gets (s)cooped, too, The hen frequently gets 1t in the neck; so does the editor.

 ARMY.
Eldest Son of COIOred Educator Wants
 Be a PaymasteF.

Washington Post.
 Booker Washington, Jr., the eldest son of Booker T. Washington, has filed an application for appointment as pay master in the army.
 The application was filed four days ago. and was dated New Haven. The applicant describes himself as tweny- three years old, and a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The first indorsement on the applica- tion is that of Booker T. Washington, and there are others from prominent residents of Now Haven. The appll. cation has been ordered put on the sus- pended file, to be taken up November 15.
 There Is an impression about the War Department that young Washing ton has a most excellent chance of get ting the appointment. There are at present only one actual and two pro- spective vacancies in the grade of pay master.
 John R. Lynch, now a captain, is the only negro paymaster in the army at present. He was at one time assistant auditor for the Navy Department Cap tain Lynch is reported to have experi . enced some trouble with the men, be- cause of his color, in the discharge of his duties both during the Spanish war and in the Philippines.

KENTUCKY MOB DIsPERsEs.
All Danger Of Lynching at Lexington
Seems Past,

All Danger Of Lynching at Lexington
Seems Past.
Lexington, KY, Nov. 23.-The mob
that threatened to lynch the negroes
held in Jail here for numbering white
man last Sunday night and attempting
to kill other white people dispersed as
day dawned. The troops and extra po-
lice have retired and the Jail is guard
ed now only by deputies. 1t is believ'
ed that all danger of lynching Is past,
as the authorities cannot now be TAX
en- by surprise and the Jail will be
well guarded at night with troops In
readiness for emergency.
The preliminary hearing of the ne
groes was the cause Of much excite
ment. They we're taken to the court
house in a patrol wagon guarded by
twelve policemen. i A large crowd had
gathered at the Jail and the streets
were lined with shouting people. The
patrol wagon was driven at breakneck
speed to the courthouse where, after
4 preliminary hearing, the negroes
were held to the grand jury. The same
exciting scenes attended the return OF
the negroes to jail, The doors, of the
Jail were open when the patrol wagon
returned and the negroes were literally
thrown through the entrance and the
doors slammed in the face of the mob
which surged around the place. Many
threats of lynching were heard.

HOUSE WRECKED BY A BOMB.

Family Of Prominent Omaha Attor-
ney Have a Narrow Escape.
Omaha, Nov. 23.-The home Of FL
mer f. Thomas, prominent lawyer
of this city and attorney for the civic
federation, was badly wrecked by a
bomb placed on the front porch at 2
a. m. Mr.. Thomas and his family were
in the house at the time and he consid-
ers it miraculous that none of them
were injured.
Mrs. Thomas was awakened about 2
o'clock by a noise on the front porch
and aroused her husband, believing
that burglars were trying to enter the
house. Mr. Thomas began an investi-
cation and discovered a fire on the
front porch. He picked up large rug
and attempted to smother the flames,
when terrific explosion occurred.
Although but few feet from the mis-
sile he escaped injury. The front wall
OF the house was blown in, doors were
shattered and an immense hole was
torn in the ground. The interior of the
building is wreck. The explosion
was heard for three miles.
" A squad of police were on the scene
in short time, but no clue to the per-
petrators of the deed was found.
Mr.. Thomas believes the attack re-
rulted from his activity in enforcing
the law against violators of the saloon
law and also to his connection with the
Dennison extradition case.
