dwelt upon the progress made in the
manufacture OF cotton in the United
States and opportunities for trade with
other countries.
The value of goods imported from the
various countries would amount to
more than $500 100000 annually, or
practically double the value OF the
cotton manufacturing OF the United
States in 1000 Our cotton mills man
Iufactured less than one million bales
OF cotton in 1870. two million bales
in 1880, about two and one half mil
lion bales in 1890: three and one-half
million bales in 1900 and over four
million in 1902. In 1903, the amount
was slightly reduced by reason OF the
Ilnusuauy high price of the raw mate
rial.
Asia is the worlds largest importer
OF cotton nanufac ctures, he said, and
in Asia the United States is rapidly
gaining market for all classes of its
Ep:odlcts especially manufactured.
With a return to normal conditions
tr that part of the world, trust that
we shall see the greatest cotton pro
ducing country turning more and more
OF its cotton into the manufactured
form before sending it abroad and sup
plyinE the finished goods more ana
more to, foreign markets. With our
country so favorably situated, in all
the essentials of cotton production
and manufacture. with the most per
| feet machinery and most industrious.
Intelligent and best paid workingmen,
| / believe that we may confidently eN-
|pect that the cotton manufacturers
of the world will prosecute still more
| vigorously their foreign trade.
IF at any time this association
feels that the new department OF
| government can be OF any service to
| it. and if you are good enough to ao-
wise us of your desires, we shall en-
deavor to do promptly and effectively
whatever is possible TO advance your
| intercsts.'

devoted to hearing papers by various
members OF the association on ques-
tons of interest to the trade

Judge Woods Succession.
Several delegations from Lowndes
County were at the Capitol yesterday
to see Governor Cunningham relative
70 the appointment OF a successor to
just resigned.
Although no formal applications for
the vacancy have been filed, it is known
that the. friends of Judge Wood are
urging that l.. A. Easterly, who was
clerk in Judge Woods office. be ap-
pointed.
The situation is Just this" said
he came from the Governors office yes
terday afternoon. The friends of
Judge Wood want Mr. Easteriy ap-
pointed. The men who took steps to
another applicant I cannot say who
ne Will be. The Governor has promised
to give both sides a hearing before
making the appointment.
Captain Rogers said his name had
been mentioned for the place wholly
without his authority.
I am not candidate nor an appli-
cant for the office of Probate Judge of
Lowndes County" said Captain Rogers.
MY connection with the Impeachment
proceedings before the Supreme Court
OF Judge Wood was in the interest of
fafr elections in Alabama and not for
resigned the Office and the Governor
will appoint some suitable person to
fill the vacancy in a short time"
Meanwhile the Democrats of Lowndes
county who are opposed to Judge Wood
and hoped to impeach him are perplex-
ed. He Is the Democratic nominee for
term of six years, and will be elect

There is nothing for good Democrats

One reason why Peruna has found per.

used any length of time without acquir-

of the fruit and vegetables 1t hauls

great garden. In addition, the COM
pany owns twelve steamers and twenty
other craft, which collect it's freight at
the various landings and deliver to the
railroad terminals. Nearly all of its
45O freight cars are built and arranged
to carry fruit and truck to market.
AS already stated. however, the re-

products of this kind annually. but the

TURNED INTO MUMMY.
Strange story of Man Who Was Inn
prisOned i'm Oak Tree.

ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
A startling discovery was made the
other day on the farm of Edward Gleek
of Ottawa Township, near lie Suer,
Mimi in the woods along the river. In
clearing a piece of land it became nee
essary to cut down a gigantic white
oak tree. which broke in falling, dis
closing the fact that it was hollow for
n distance of about fifteen feet, the
cavity beginning several feet above the
ground and ending in a large opening
concealed among the branches on the
lower side of the tree, which leaned
over considerably.
Within this hollow was found by hor-
rihed choppers the mummifled body of
man. not at all decayed but dried and
shriveled by the lapse of time into
something rivaling the best Egyptian
art.
Mr.. Gleek on being summoned by
the frightened laborers, recognized in
the mummy the body of Jean La Rue.
a former servant of his, who had mys-
teriously disappeared from the farm
on August 80. 1863.
On that day, which was during the
Sioux uprising, a boat load of soldiers
on their way up the Minnesota river
from st. Paul to New Ulm, foolishly
discharged their muskets many times
as they steamed UP the river above
Henderson, carrying terror to the
hearts of people along the river, who
were already about to fiee from the
dreaded Indians. At lie Sueur one of
the bullets thus discharged wounded a
small boy-Cyrus McEwen-in the leg
Mr.. Gleek says that when Jean La
Rue heard the firing he seemed to
nearly lose his reason from fear rush
ed into the house, seized his rife and
some other belongings. including about
$7O0 in money. and fed into the woods.
knowing of this hollow tree, he must
have sought to hide there. slipped down
too far, and being unable to extricate
himself. must have persisted there,
where his body, preserved In the living
oak. failed TO decay. His rife, bullet
pouch and powder horn were found by
him. and the money-S7S3. 5O-was
found in his pocket.
Also there was found the diary which
Mr.. Gleek says La Rue always faith
fully kept, and in 1t, undated, but on
the page following the one dated Fri
day. August 20. 1862, was written in
trembling words the following:
Cannot get out; surely must die, If
ever found send me and all my money
to my mother, Nine. Suzanne La Rue,
near Harascon, in the Province of
Bouches Du Rhone. France"
