The Iron Mountain Press makes a
suggestion regarding junk dealers OF
that city which we copy herewith and
wish TO call the attention of our COM
mon council TO- The stealing of metal
about this city is getting to be some
thing ieIce and property owners must
have relief. The Press says:
The arrest of number Of small boys
charged with stealing parts Of mach
inery from one OF the local mining

need Of an ordinance placing the junke

Do Good Roads Pay?

The following item is taken from a
Jacksonville (Fla.) exchange:
If you will call upon ]. c. Slorh,
real estate dealer. he will tell you Of a
small tract of land near the new object
lesson road that few months ago
was offered for sale at $500. That.
along with other property pear this
new road grew in value, and when Ee
had an offer for this same tract OF
5000 he found it had just been sold
at S2TOO. and his offer Of $4,000, which
was over FIVE times its former rate,
would not buy the property. This IL
crease in value all came from the
building of this sample road. The IL
crease in value OF this small tract
would pay for over one-half mile of
the cost Of the road. and the increased
value Of the abutttng properties for
one-half mile would pay the cost OF
building or extending this line a dis
tance Of ten miles.
The improvement in prices ut ich
lands are selling along these rock
roads wherever they have been built
will be from FIVE to ten times Its for
mer value. If this is so. or II we are
sure property will even double in value
should we not improve our principal
highways at the earliest possible Cay?

AParpetual Calendar.

Notwithstanding the disastrous re-
suits attending the attempts Of French
scientists at the time Of the revolution
to reform the calendar, this subject
seems still to interest certain indi-
vidualS, and the most recent PROPOSE
ton comes from NJ. Camille Flam-
marion, the well-known astronomer,
who intends to recommend to the
French Chamber of Deputies a bill to
make compulsory new calendar he
has devised M. Flammarion would
commence the year at March 81, the
vernal equinox, and divide it into
quarters, each containing two months
of thirty days and one month OF thirty
one days. Consequently the year. would
consist of 364 days. and there would
remain an extra, or fete, day which
would not belong to any single month.
Leap-years would be marked by two
such fete days. The new calendar Is
so designed that the same dates would
always occur on the same days Of the
week. and one calendar would answer
for every year.-Harper's Weekly

Fireworks Factory Destroyed.

New York, Speciality the explo-
sion of large quantity of powder the
fireworks factory Of Joseph Speizo IN
Greenpoint, was totally destroyed,
Speizo's sixteen years old son, Anto-
nio, was instantly killed and his wife
and two younger boys and a work
man were seriously injured. The ex-
plosion shook buildings within a ra-
dius of mile and for time it was
believed that many persons had been
killed. All members Of the Speizo
family worked in the factory, small
frame structure in an open lot, IN
which they turned out saluting bombs
for use in Italian festivals. This IN
volved the use Of much black powder
quantities of which were scattered
over the work benches. Joseph Spel-
20, the proprietor, was absent, the
place being in charge of his eldest
SON, Manuel, who escaped unhurt
when an alarm was raised by one OF
the younger boys that an explosion
was imminent.

will mean a larger output OF cotton

The Anthony Shoal Power and Mill
Company has been purchased by John
H. Fitzpatrick, of Washington, Ga.
He expects to spend several hundred
thousand dollars in developing this
power, and will begin work at once.
Within a radius of 40 miles there is
now being used more than $4,000
steam horse power, at a cost of from
$50 to $50 per horse power, all OF
which he will be in position to
furnish at a lower rate. The shoals
are located about halfway between
Washington and Tiberton, and as soon
as the power is developed Mr.. Fitz-
patrick will have all arrangements
made for building an electric line be-
tween the two places. He also ex-
poets to build cotton factory at
Washington and at the Shoals.

GAINED OVER ONsSlLLiON DOLLARS
How the Cotton Crop in Six Years
Has Increased in Value.


Regarding another source Of South
ern wealth, cotton, and the meaning
to the South OF It's higher price, the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record
says. under date OF Sept 18th:
The total value of the last six
cotton crops, not counting the seed,
has paid to the farmers was just a
little over $3,000,000,000, while Tor
the preceding six Yeas the total, seed
likewise not included. was 81, ,S00,000,-
600, difference in the last six years
over the preceding Six-year period III
favor OF Southern farmers of 81, ,200,-
100000.
1t is quite uncertain whether dur
inc the six years of low prices, IN
which the crop averaged only $780,
100000 a year, there was not an ac-
tual loss to the producers-certainly
if there was no loss, it was simply
swapping dollars without proft-but
during the last six years of higher
prices the Southern farmers have
gotten on their feet financially. They
have received an average Of $780,
100000 a year for their cotton, and
to this might be added, in round fig
ures, about $50,000,000 year from
the seed. The increase of 81 100000
600 during the last six years over the
preceding six is nearly twice as much
as the entire national banking capital
of the United States, it is more than
the total savings bank deposits OF
all New England.
''For the first few years Of this
period the profit on cotton growing
at these better prices was absorbed
in paying up the debts which had
accumulated during the low-priced
period, but, with debts out of the way
and the farmers in good shape, they
have been stimulated into making
many improvements as to better
homes, better farm machinery and
more of the conveniences which add
to the comfort and happiness of life.
1.-THE towns and villages and cities
of the South have shared in the pros
perity of the farmers, and added to
the prosperity brought about by the
higher price of cotton, has been the
great increase in the production OF
foodstuffs-grain and meats, fruits
and vegetables-and vast EXPANSION
in railroad and industrial interests.
1t is no wonder, in view of these
facts, that as recently pointed out IN
the Manufacturers Record, the as
sessed value of Southern property IS
now increasing at the rate of $780,
100000 a year, while the true value
of Southern property is probably in.
creasing at more than double that. "

CAMPING IN THE FROZEN NORTH
AIlurine Picture Of Tent Life When It's
Forty Below.

You are awakened in the bitter dark
ness of the carly morning by the sound
of the camp dogs moving among the
frozen pals Of refuse You hear their
padding footsteps passing this way and
that outside Of the tents and the brush
ing Of their bodies against the canvas
walls Then you hear the sound Of
chopping wood where someone is at
work in the starlight. One Of the men
stirs and rises in the darkness. The
tent is bitter cold with rything
frozen hard as iron. You hear the
man fumbling around in the darkness
for the matches, and presently he
strikes one and lights candle, and in
the sudden light see it is Xavier Gill.
Presently he begins chopping the wood
for the stove and his big round shadow
moves uncouthly and grotesquely about
the walls as the flame Of the candle
wavers in the draught Of the cold air.
He makes q fire, and in moment the
fame is rushing up the stovepipe,
which gradually becomes a dull red
with the gushing heat. Gill stands
with his back to the stove, and pres
emily the other man rises and joins
him. Then you yourself move reluct-
antly in your warm swaddling Of furs
and with some effort crawl out into
the bitter cold and join the others
around the stove. None Of you speak,
but each absorbs the scanty heat in
silence. But by and by, warmed to
some return of life, you peep out Of
the tent; the sky is like black crystal,
the stars shining with an incredible
effulgence. From the stovepipes Of the
other tents rockets of fame are gush-
ing up into the air; showers Of sparks
rise up into the night high overhead
hover, waver, and then sink dwindlinS
upon the tent and the surrounding
snow. You look at the thermometer
hanging against tree and see by the
light Of a match that it is forty de-
grees below zero. By this time the
smell Of cooking is filling the silent
frozen spaces Of the darkness, and you
re-enter the tent to hug again the
warmth Of the stove with huge appe-
tite for the rude breakfast of melted
grease and gilletes.-Frank E. Schoon-
over. in Scribner's.
