From Earth to Commerce..

Our steel mill here turns out steel
 billets These billets are made from
 ores dug from our own mines and
 made Into pig Iron by our own coke
 and coal. The steel billets are then
 shipped to our mill at Ensley. where
 they are turned into steel nails and
 barbed wire. Our market is practi-
 caIly in the South. although we sell some in the North and some In Cuba"
 The big plot of land on which the
 Gadsden plant Is located Is even now staked out. It is said that these stakes
 mark the limits and the sites of new buildings that are to be put up in the
 near future. Mir Shuler stated that 1t
 was the purpose of his company to erect in the next year a big rod mill.
 This mill will have the enormous ca pacfty of 400 tons of steel rods every twenty-four hours. This is the definite plan of construction that MT. Shuler and his associates have in mind. There will be other increase and additions
 to the property. but they have not been definitely announced yet,
 The property will steadily grow from its present enormous proportions until | 1t shall represent an investment of | s7 GOO 900. at which time between four and i've thousand men will find em- ployment In the cOmpany's works. In | the Gadsden branch of the company's business alone there are now employed about 1000 persons.

No Profit in Deception.

oeption doesn't pay in the long run,
and men are coming more and more to
realize this truth. Every deceiver is,
to greater or less degree, in the
position of the Pole in the Chillioothe
tavern; his deception harmed himself
more than anyone else.
"To q Chillicothe tavern" Mr..
Ware went on, Give Poles came for
their evening meal. They asked what
the rates we're, and prices were
quoted them-chickens, so much !;
ham, so much; eggs, SO much; steak,

"Being frugal the Poles took eggs,
boiled eggs. They soon finished, paid
their bill, and resumed their journey.
In lonely quiet place the younger
of the two stopped and gave loud
laugh.

he visits the State property quite

Mr.. Peurifoy, vino is good farmer
himself over in the Saluda valley Of
Saluda county, declared this to be the
finest crop ever grown upon the State
farms. The most satisfactory exhibit
of all was drove of 30 mule colts.
These will be brought to the State
Fair with the hope that farmers in
South Caroline will take up the breed
ing of mules in view of the fact that
the building of the Panama canal will
require the use Of thousands of mules,
and the market will offer good prices.
The farms are also stocked with hogs,
sheep and goats and other farm ami
mails, in raising which there is found
to be profit.
The field crops are magnificent, not
withstanding the continued damp spell
in August. Mr.. Peurifoy states that
500 bales Of cotton will be marketed
and that there are 500 acres in corn,
with the finest yield the farms have
ever known.-The State.

The symptoms of Liver Complaint are
well known to every one, such as consti-

many others of similar nature.
Thousands die annually by not needing
the warnings of nature.
Many acquire some chronic disease
from which they never recover.
Many OF these could be spared for years
OF usefulness, by keeping in the home
some reliable remedy.
We believe that we can convince anv

Lawyer and Judge Agreed.

The ninth district Of Ohio was rep
resented in Congress by Judge Hall,
and this good story is told of him,
says the Nashville Banner:
A case of some Importance was
reached on the docket, and the parties
and witnesses were ou hand. The at
torney for the plaintiff, Charles Brown,
was considerably in his cups, oondi-
tion which seemed chronic with the
really brilliant lawyer. He submitted
motion after motion, and the court did
not appear to humor his extravagant
demands, realizing, too, that the at
torney was not in condition to pro-
oeed with the case. Brown was per-
sistent, and Judge Hall, becoming
somewhat irritated, said:
"It is the opinion ofsthis court that
the counsel for the plaintiff is peou.
liarly disqualified ct this time for
conducting this case before the
Court"
"What is that, your honor ?" de-
manded the intoxicated lawyer.
"The court believes the counsel for
the plaintiff entirely too drunk to con-
tinue with The CASE"
"That is the first correct decision
ever knew your honor to render"

NEW ENGLAND COTTON MILLS
Now Face New Crisis Greater Than -Any
of the Past.


kindred enterprises, absolutely de.
pendent on the maintenance Of our
cotton trade. ALLOW the cotton mill
industry to leave US, and it would
mean not simply the destruction Of
this industry and its $500, 100000 Of
invested capital, but it would mean
the rransference to the South Of the
several hundred thousand operatives
now employed in our mills and kin
dred industries. That would mean
tha. ths mechanic and the day labcTer,
whose families now work in the cotton
mills, and thus any to the family in
come, would have to follow the mill
operative. Our great engine interesta,
ocr textile machinery builders and
many cognate industries would be left
with but limited local market for
their product, and without the supply
of labor now available would have to
follow the mills South. These indus
tries are already at disadvantage.
They have to bring their iron from
the South or from the West, turn it
into machinery and ship large part
of this machinery back to the South.
With $500, 900, 900 in cotton mills, and
probably equally as much invested in
industries connected with cotton man
ufacturing, and dependent for SUCCESS
upon the cotton trade, we may safely
say that 5000, 100000 of New Eng
land industrial capital is at stake.
The vastness of this can be under
stood by few comparisons. This
$500, 900, 900 which is at stake is only
20 per cent less than the aggregate
capital of all Of the national banks Of
America, and is nearly the same as
the market value Of the Standard Oil
Company, whose operations cover the
world. With this 5000, 900, 900 wiped
out, or moved to the South, would We
not indeed see the industrial decline
of New England?
But New England can save itself.
We are not accustomed to give up or
sit supinely down and bemoan fate.
We can bid the South godapeed in
Development, if we will take care Of
onr own, for there is room enough for
both sections without the one pros
pering on the ruins Of the other. If
our people, our bankers aud every
man interested in the prosperity Of
New England will awaken to our dan
ger We can take on new lease of life.
We must be prepared to re.equip With
modern machinery every mill that is
Dot up to date. We must send to the
sorapheap every engine or boiler or
loom that is not producing the highest
possible results; we must, il necessary,
forego dividends for while, or invest
new capital in the re.equipment Of
our mills, and thus stop the South.

Export of Manufacturer.

Figures recently issued by the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor at Wash
ington show that during the month of
July last our exports Of manufactures
amounted to S40,000,O0O, against SOL
100000 of agricultural products. During
June the exports of manufactures We're
nearly S42,000,000 against S37,500OO0
of agricultural products. This is the first
time in the history of the country that
the exports OF manufactures have eX-
ccedcd those of the farm. This does not
mean that the exports of farm products
are falling off. but that those of manu-
features have greatly increased. This is
due to protective tariff which, while it
benefits American manufactures, also in
creases the home demand for American
farm products.

Party Records,

In every NATIONAL campaign for forty
years past the Republican party has
stood upon it's record of things done, Of
laws enacted, of policies established IN
der which the country has progressed
and prospered, The record OF the Dem
ocratic party made in two administra-
tons was so full of disaster, of CONNER
cial shipwreck, Of industrial paralysis
and business failures that its CHIEF busi-
ness in recent years has been to get as
far away from its record as possible.
