LOVE FEAST NOTES.

There were a number of men at the
love-feast who are looking a long ways
ahead John Dyer of Hammond, for
instance, served notice that he will be
a candidate for state treasurer in 1906.
He was a candidate last year, and he
proposes to go into the race as soon
as Nat Hill has served two terms.
Tom Millikan of Newcastle was an
other 1ong-distance candidate for state
treasurer. He made the race last year
and will go in again when Hill is
through Frank Doran of Laporte,
who was one of the love-feast crowd,
will be candidate for auditor of state
when Dave Sherrick has done. The
active candidates at the meeting were
Frank Smith of Lawrenceburg, B. f.
Corwin of Greencastle, George Self Of
Corydon, and L. v. Nash of Upton,
who want to be reporter of the. SUI
preme and appellate courts; Hanly,
Taylor and Hunt for governor, and
Perry Newby for lieutenant governor.
Charles A Rookwalter, former may
or of indianapolis, who has become a
prominent figure in state politics, was
one Of the interesting men at the love-
feast. He made a great hit in neat
little speech he made just at the close
of the meeting OF fine presence and
a political speaker of marked ability,
he made a lasting impression. Every
man in the audience knew of him by
reputation only, but it is safe to say
when he finished that he had lot
more friends than when he began. It
has been said frequently of Bookwal-

RAD1UM CARTED AWAY.

London, Dee. 31-In the course of
a lecture Prof. Sir William Ramsey
stated that he had discovered that a
prominent firm of analytical chemists
and metallurgists in London had been
throwing away radium of incalcula-
BILE value. For twenty-five years the
firm had been extracting uranium
from the ore and rejecting the by
products as valueless. From these
very same by-products radium could
he obtained, but they had oil been re-
moved by the public refuse carts, the
firm sharing the worlds ignorance Of
their value. Some Of the by-products
may possibly be recovered, as they
are indestructible, but doubtless most
of them were dispersed.

THE SNOW STORM
A Genuine Old Timer Visits
The City.

Snow began falling yesterday af-
ternoon, continued all day and is
still showing with a fall of about
five inches on the level.
Last night was one Of the worst
Of the season. The wind blew and
the snow fell rapidly and at times
of the binding variety. A great
many people were on the streets en-
route to parties, entertainments,
shows, polo, ETC. Late at night men
were seen cleaning the walks about
their homes, but this morning the
walks looked as if they had never
been cleaned It is one of the worst
snow storms in years and will no
doubt furnish us with some good
sleighing.
Railroad traffic was considerably
interfered with and for some time
this morning the cars could not be
propelled on account of the snow
drifting and piling up on the tracks
Snow plows were soon gotten out,
the tracks cleared and the company
has been enabled to render pretty
fair service the remainder of the
day. .

We NEED THE COTTON PICKER

A successful mechanical cotton pick
or is the solution TO the labor
problem in the South. The question
, of how much cotton eau be raised has
mover been considered, but rather the
amount that can be gathered has al.
ways determined the size OF the
worlds cotton crop,
The demands Of the railroads, oil
mills, saw mills, etc, at gathering
time, with their offers of good wages
takes thousands of negroes yearly
from the cotton fields, and as oonse-
ouenoe much of the crop made goes to
waste.
With successful mechanical cotton
picker, this yearly state OF affairs
would not be, for if picker can
gather from seven to ten bales OF cot
ton per day, as was demonstrated
here two years ago by the American
Cotton Picker Co. with one OF their
machines, the size OF the cotton crop
of the future will alone depend upon
the number of machines used in the
cotton fields.
Last fall this company placed Its
machines ON plantation it had
leased near Westdale, La, thiIty'tiye
miles south of Shreveport, and its
inventor and machinist spent the
entire fall season in perfecting the
machine. AS result of their tests
and observations, improvements have
been made in the workings OF the
pickle. and the machine is now ready
for the field.
The weight of the machine has
been reduced over fifteen hundred
pounds, enabling it to stand the rough
usage III the field from crossing the
rows in turning. Agsin, the tric-
ton in the fingers has been overcome
by radical ball bearings and the ma
chine will be driven by the latest
valveless engine. Several other
we are told are now
be ing added.
In our opinion the people of the
South will at leafs have the pleasure
this fall of looking upon the ma
chime of the American Cotton Picker
Co., of Pittsburg Pa, as asuccessful
cotton mechanical picker. that will
place thousands of dollars in the
pockets of the southern painters.
