Imports of Wines and Liquors.

The statistics of the custom house show
considerable falling off in the imports OF
wines and liquors. The imports of beer in
1901 were valued a 81 .O5o. SOS; in 1902. SOL
91s; in 1903. s4J2, 80. which was doubtless
largely due to the establishment Of brew
cries here. The imports. of wine in 1901
were valued at S2i0.s27: in 1902 they. were
1913. 034. and in 1903 they were S2d3, 5SS. The

three were as follows.

FT. SMITH MAY GET COTTON MILL

Mr. George Sengel of Fort Smith has
returned from visit east, where he
went to consult with capitalists, and
while there received proposition from
guarantee company to erect a cotton
mill in Fort Smith. The Fort Smith
Business Mems league have taken hold
of the matter, and are going to make
a strong pull to secure the mill. The
Fort Smith papers say the business
men are enthusiastic over the matter
and will easily raise the sum required
of that city for a 100000 or $4,000
mill.
The proposition was submitted to
Fort Smith by eastern capitalists,
which is an eyl9ence that eastern
money is seeking southern invest
ments and especially cotton mills In
vestments. The south produces the
cotton. and the day is not far distant
when the south will manut. cture the
cotton. 1t can be daae cheaper IN
the south than in the north and cast,
a fact fully realized by the northern
and eastern capitalists, and they are
going to invest their money in south.

the Panama canal will create for the
south a monopoly of the cottcfu man

money wants to get in on the ground
floor and be ready to enjoy the earli-
est fruits OF the boom this section will
receive. The south is already ranidiy
coming to tie front in cotton manu-
factures, end Is destined to take the
lead without the Panama canal, but
with the canal the north and east can

have sense enough to know that the
farmer is the greatest factor in the
maintenance Of the state. and II re-
mains only for Governor Davis and his
ring to utilize tbs m for mercenary pur-
poses. Calling the farmers "rednecks'
and "hill-billies" originated with Da-
Wis. and il was no trouble for him to
pretend that il originated with those
opposed To him.
The candidate who poses as the spe-
cial champion of the ''rednecks. hill

gogue of the worst type. He cares moth

For the first time in the history of

the approaching presentation of Geo.
w Cables fascinating southern ro-
nance, The Cavalier" dramatized by
Paul kester and Geo. Middleton, and
offered under the management of Wal
lace Munroe, whc. has given us, in the
past, many good attractions.
In the presentation of THE Cavalier
Mr. Munro who has had the personal
assistance of Mr. Cable, the distingu-
ished author, in securing the atmos'
phere and spirit of the old southland
that he depicts Sc lovingly and graphi-
cally in all his books He has made
the romance of that section of the
country his particular realm of reflec-
ton. All the poetry and picturesque
ness of The Cavalier have been pre-
sented in the play. 1t is the most dra-
matte of his stories, abounding in
stirring action and interest-compelling
situations. And it has comedy too,
Comedy in plenty! 1t is unique in
that it treats ct war time from the
southern standpoint. There have been
many plays of late years with a pre-
ponddratnce of northern; sentiment;
they have had an occasional uniform
Of gray, but the boys in blue have
been in the majority and thee cent er

Buying a Good Fortune,

Four little green birds sat on a cage
fronted with tray. The tray held
folded slips of paper. A man carried
the whole. He strolled east in Grand
street, near Mulberry. A~woman
swarthy Of complexion and with a
shawl drawn around her head and
shoulders, looked at -the birds and
hesitated in her walk The man, keen
to notice any indication of trade, saw
her hesitancy.
Fortune, lady?" he asked.
The woman stopped and passed a
coin to his hand. He lifted bird from
its perch and placed 1t on the edge OF
the tray. The bird picked up folded
slip Of paper. The man took the paper
and handed it to the woman. The
woman opened it, read, smiled, and
passed on. The man nodded approx.
ingly.
Gave her good fortune, did you?"
asked man standing by.
Sure" said the man with the birds
"All the fortunes are good. Birds tell
no bad fortunes"
Then he smiled wisely.-New York

but in the most direct and sWiftest
way in his power had Edward Frank.
lin come. Strong. eager, masterful
scorning the blazing sun, his reckless
waste OF energy marked him as a
stranger in that place. He stopped
at the gateway for one moment, look.
ing up the path, and then turned swift.
ly toward the car as though called
audibly.
AS with flash his face lighted, and
he strobe straight on toward a woman
whose heart was throbbing in a sud
den tumultuous terror. She saw him
stoop at the car door, even as once
before she had seen him enter at
another lowly door, in another and
far-off land. She felt again the fear
which then she half admitted. But
in a moment Mary Ellen knew that all
fear and all resistance were too late.
The eyes OF Franklin. direct. as
sured, almost sad, asked her no uues-
ton, but only said, Here am II" And
Mary Ellen knew that she could no
longer make denial or delay. Her
thoughts came rapid and confused. :.
her eyes swan; her heart beat fast.
Afar she heard the singing of mock
er in the oaks, throbbing, thrilling
high and sweet as though his heart
would break with what he had to say.
Judge Wilson and DR.. Gregg polite
ly removed their hats as Franklin
entered the car and addressed Mary
Ellen. Confused by the abruptness of
it all, 1t was moment before she rec
ognized local requirements, and pre-.
sented Franklin to the gentlemen.
For an instant she planned flight, es-
cape. She would have begged Frank
lin to return with her. Fate in the
form of the driver had its way. cit
ep. newell" sounded from the front
OF the car. There was a double groan
A little bell tinkled lazily. The rusty
wheels began slowly to revolve.
ITS an awful hour to CALL" admit
ted Franklin under the rumble of the
wheels. 81 couldn't get carriage and
hadn't any horse. There wasn't any
car. Forgive me-" ..
1t is only to be said that both Judge
and doctor were gentlemen, and loyal
to beauty in distress. They both
earned Mary Ellens love, for they got
off eight blocks sooner than they
should have done, and walked more
than half mile in the sun before they
found place Of rest.
"Oh, well, yessah, Judge" said DR..
Gregg, half signing, I'VE were young

selves"
The Glenwood post., 1904-06-18

"Yessah, seems like" said the driv-
er, his head again falling.
In perhaps five or ten minutes, per-
haps half an hour, there would be
heard the tapping of another cane.
and Dr. Gregg, also tall, not quite so
portly, and wearing white beaver in
stead of a soft Panama, would appear
from the opening of yet another side
street tributary to the car.
Good mawnin', James," said the
doctor as he passed; and the driver
answered respectfully.
Good mawnin', Doctah. You Ill
late this mawnin', seems like"
well. yessah. 1 may be leetle
late, just leetle. Good mawnin'
1Judge; how are you this mawnin'
sah?"
Very well, Doctah, sab, thank you,
sab. Step in an seddown. Right
wahm, this mawnin'. Uh-ah!"
So the Judge and the doctor sat
down in the car, and conversed easily
and in no haste, perhaps for five or
ten minutes, perhaps for half an hour.
. Now and then the driver cast glance
of the side of his eye over toward
the lion-headed gates, but no one was
uneasy or anxious. The mules were
to apparent view very sad and still.
yet really very happy within their
souls.
Young lady iii late this mawnin' ,
seems like" remarked the judge.
"Oh, yes, but she'll be long direck-
-,
know how bout these young folks.
They don't always realize the impoh-
tance O. pressin' business mattehs.
But we must fo'give heh, Judge. we
must fo-give heh, foh she suhtinly is
well wo'th waitin' foh; yes, indeed"
"Uh-ah! Quite right, Doctah, quite
right! Fine young lady, fine young
lady. Old stock, yes indeed! Beech
ans O. Fehginny. Too bad Cousin
Sarann Clayton keeps heh SO close
like. She fitten to be received, sab,
to be received"
Eyes, indeed" assented the doctor.
Eyes, sab. Now, amt that the young
lady a-comin. down the walk"
Judge and doctor and driver now
turned their gaze beyond the lion
headed gateway to the winding walk
that passed among the trees up to the
old mansion house. Far of, through
the great columns of the trees, there
might indeed this morning now Be
seen the fiutter OF a gown of white.
The faint sounds Of voices might be
heard. Mary Ellen. conscientious mar.
