 Owing to th, fact that only few mutnals friends of the principals were present at the affair, the names of the ardent lovers could not bc learned, but the little duello has set the tongues of Mob Hin society wngging, and with. ont doubt more of the details will come out later
 It is stated that after being pacifed by their friends both contestants de. elarcd their intention of continuing the siege of the charming young lady's heart with all the ardor of true lovers, and the question among the friends of the parties concerned is which of the young men win eventually prove the successful wooer and carry away the prize.

CUNNINGHAM PASS AN ACTIVE
 DISTRICT.
(.ki,vu C. fVptII ,uoIIl

NAUeU AspuI nolI
 In no part of northern Arizona is SO much mining activity apparent as in the new copper country along the line of the A. < C. railroad, according to the statements of W. C. Bcckham to Journal.Miner man, made yesterday, on his arrival here from his mining camp in the Cunningham Pass country.
 :" Numbers of men are daily arriving in that country in search of mining in. vestmcnts of merit" hc said, "and as a general rule all the investors who have become identified with mines there are developing their properties in accord. ance with modern mining ideas, pre-. fcrring to sink to n good depth on the vein rather than try to develop n mine near the surface.
 At the Rogers camp, nbout eighteen miles north of Cunningham Pass, a new shaft, which Is being sunk to depth of 300 feet, has now reached n depth of 70 feet on the vein, where a large body of high grade ore has been struck. A large hoisting plant is being installed and other improvements are being made at the camp for the accom-. modation of large force of men.
 "Cnder the direction of Superint.nd. ent Harry Hanna, the Carrigan prop. erty is being developed, and good ore is being mined from shaft which it is intended Co sink to good depth be. forc any extensive drifting or cross cutting is done.
 "Among the oldest mines in the district Is the Signal, which also gives employment to large force and Is pro. ducing good ore.
 "At the Butler group of mines, 10 catcd about ten miles west of Carri. gan, the camp is being placed in shape for the accommodation of force of men which 1t is proposed to start in the mine at an early datc.'
 NIT. Hickman, who Is among the most successful miners and prospectors of the desert regions of western Yavapai, southern Mohave and northern Yuma counties, Is the owner of m undivided one-half interest in group of four claims in Cunningham Pass, l.. s. Col. well of this city and Joseph White. house of wenden each owning an un. divided onc-half interest in two of the locations. Three of the claims are To. cated along the apex of . vein which has an excellent surface showing in ore carrying copper and gold values in the shipping class.
 In the bottom of a 25.foot shaft there ia an ore showing of four feet in width, fourteen inches of which sam. pies $5s to the ton, and in n 22.foot shaft on another claim he has n nine. inch paystrcak of ore of a much higher grade.
 During his visit here he will make arrangements with his partners to con. tinue these shafts to much greater depth and has great faith that he will open one of the wonderful mines in tue district in n short time.

Early Balloon Ascensions

THE first balloon ascension was made in
l. 1888 in France, by Stephen and Joseph
Montgolfer. two paper makers They sue
ceeded in reaching. in a small balloon, the
height of fifteen thousand feet Before this
date. however, Cavendsh, who had discovered
hydrogen gas in 1900, and Black who had the
following year discovered that this gas would
cause a light envelop filled with it to rise of its
own accord, had laid the foundation OF aero
nautics.
In the same year that the Montgolfer
brothers made their ascent. Professor Charles
made an ascension in a balloon of his own con-
struction before half the population of Paris
Balloon ascensiOns were not wholly successful
however, until 1890, when Green OF America
introduced coal gas instead of hydrogen with
which to initiate the bag of the balloon.
The highest balloon ascension on record
was made by Glaisher and Coxwell from Vol
verhampton in September, 1862. They
reached an altitude OF seven miles, or thirty
seven thousand feet. The cold at this height
was about twelve degrees below zero. Glaisher
became insensible and CoXwel's hands were
frozen, but by the aid OF his teeth he managed
to open the valve in the balloon and descend
IN safety.

Nothing New Under the Sun

THE old saying. There is nothing new
under the sun, is as true in these days of
invention and progress as 1t ever was.
The theory of the automobile was known to
solomon de Coste of Normandy in 1641 He
wrote book on the propulsion of carriages
by steam power, and was cast into a Paris
madhouse for 1t by Cardinal Richelieu
The theory OF telegraPhing by wire was
practically illustrated in I775 by Arthur
\ Dung, long before Professor Morse was born
Although to Robert Fulton, the American
inventor, Is given the credit of navigation by
steam power, Blasco de Guerrero, Spanish
sea captain, propelled a ship by a steam engine
before the King of Spain in 1913. The age was
not capable OF appreciating his feat, and he
died in exile.
Air-sfips, a few OF which have been COM
paratlvely successful, are called a new
invention; but IN 1910 a pamphlet was written
by -ncesco Lana eXpounding the theory
OF s.ups which would navigate the air well
as the sea.
No doubt the invention of wireless teleg-
graphy was foreShadowed by a book Of
philosophy which appeared in 1917 This
work mentions communication between two
persons at different points by means OF
loadstone and a needle placed upon a metal
dial.
The discovery of the circulation Of the blood
Is accredited to Harvey in 1910, but from
passage IN LOnginuS we learn that this was
known two thousand years before.
DR.. Morton OF Boston in $40 was the first
man TO put to practical use the administration
OF anesthetics; but for hundreds of years
before this the OF various herbs to ease
pam and induce unCOnSClOuSneSS was known.
No doubt the use OF cocaine as a local anesthetic
originated from Baron Lanney, Napoleons
physician. This man applied ice to wounds to
produce state OF lnsensiblIty to pain.
Newton was preceded in his knowledge of
the law OF gravitation by Dante and Shakes

Laennec discovered the stethoscope in 1870;

MOVING pictures are considered a modern
1S1 invention: but at the beginning of the
eighteenth century English engineer in
vented an arrangement of figures painted on
thin strips OF wood which were put on a canvas
background SO that by the aid of wires they
could be made to move and go through various
actions in a lifelike way.
This was considered a marvel at that time
and the engineer exhibited his invention ali

Bells

DAULINUS. Bishop of Nola IN Campania,
1 invented bells about the year 400.
Originally they were used in churches as a
defense against thunder and lightning The
first bell in England was hung in Croyland
Abbey at Lincolnshire in o45
About the eleventh century it became a
peculiar custom to baptize bells in churches
before they were used Musical bells and
chimes were invented in Belgium in I4o7
The curfew bell was established IN 1908.

Prehistoric Incubators

THE use of incubators in the Matching of
eggs IS not a new process. On the con-
trary. 1t dates back to the ancient Egyptians
who often hatched eggs of various fowls in clay
ovens heated To the proper temperature
With the dying out of the Egyptians, the
science OF incubation, like SO many of their
other arts, went with them. and it was thought
that 1t was one of the lost arts until Reamur
regained 1t in the last century.

Banks

IT is to Italy that the first establishment of
L banks is credited. These banks were
founded by Lombard Jews.
The name bank IS derived from the word

to benches set in the market-place for the

was opened in Venice in 1880. The Bank of
England was established in 1905.

Watches

IT is said that watches were made in Nurem-
L berg as early as I477. They were of little
practical use. and resembled our watches of
to-day in a slight degree. Some of them were
in the shape OF a pear. and often they were
used as heads to walling-sticks.
They were of small service in keeping time
until the invention of the spiral spring by
Hooke IN 1898.

cents per pound and every available
bale of cotton for sale at that time
was eagerly taken by the mills, the
manufacturers, jobbers and retailers
were loaded with goods which could
not be sold that season. After con-
sumption of the Ii, 100000. bale crop
of 1904, we find the mills of the
world to-day with no goods on hand
for sale, but from six TO eight mouths
behind with their orde.s, and the
jobbing trade in equally bad con-
dition. With the trade now it is not
question of price, but the serious
problem is the delivery of orders by
the mills. The shelves of the world
are largely bare of cotton goods and
in many lines absolute exhaustion
has taken place. This crop will not
exceed ten million commercial bales,
hence there must be curtailment by
the mills before next September,
showing that consumption has gone
beyond the ability of production.
At'the prices of cotton goods spin
ners could have easily paid the farm
ers IL cents for every pound of
American cotton grown this year.
If we should be able to hold back
two million bales for Is cents the
spinners would still get the crop at
an average price under IL cents per
pound. But little cotton remains in
the hands of the producers and local
holders. If those who have cotton
vii! hold it firmly they will be well
rewarded later on when the whole
world realizes the shortness of the
crop and the market responds to the
actual conditions brought about by
the Legitimate laws of supply and
demand. To the farmers, Southern
Press and the business interests of
the South generally, / extend here
with my best wishes for happy and
prosperous new year.
Yours truly,

Consumption vs.. Under.Productlon.

The present rate of consumption
of American cotton by the mills of
the world is sli. .oly in excess of one
bales of raw,t IN per month. 1t is
estimated, as result of careful in
vestigation, that if the spinners can
secure the cotton and no interna-
tional troubles interfere with the
present enormous demand for cotton
goods, fully twelve million five hun
dred thousand bales of American
cotton would be consumed between
September 1st, 1905, and September
1st, 1906. The unprecedented con-
sumption of American cotton is due
principally to two causes, namely:
The increasing demand fol cotton
goods by the jobbing and retail trade
of the civilized nations of the world,
and the abnormal increase of new
spindles within the past six months
in England, Japan and America.
Since July more than four million
new spindles have been added to the
milling industry of Manchester,
England. The Fall River Mills,
which were shut down for sixteen
weeks last year on account of strikes,
are now running night and day.
These vital forces will necessarily
demand at least one million bales of
cotton for consumption in 1906,
which were not required in 1905.
In the South new mills are being
built and the equipment of old mills
doubled in capacity wherever labor
can be secured.
Consumption is only limited now
to the spindle capacity of the world
operating on full time. Mr.. Ellison,
the English statistician, estimates
consumption for the next twelve
months under 100000 bales of
American cotton. But Mr.. Ellison
represents the foreign spinners solely,
and it is habit with him to under
estimate at the beginning of each
year and later on be forced to in
crease his figures in the face of bare
facts. The price of cotton goods is
very high and advancing in most
lines monthly. In some cases prices
are higher than they have been in
twenty-five years. In the spring Of
1904 when cotton advanced to IL

A Quiet Home Wedding.

A quiet home wedding was SOL
emnized at the residence of J. p.
Anderson, father of the bride, in
Rock Mills township, in Anderson
county, at high noon, January I'd,
1906. The contracting parties were
Mark Stribling, of Oconee, and Miss
nellie Anderson, of Anderson county.
Only few of the immediate rela-
tives were present to witness the
ceremony.
The dainty bride was becomingly
arrayed in a beautiful suit of dark
blue, with hat to match. The cere-
mony, which was solemn and i'm
pressive, was pronounced by Rev.
j. f. Anderson, uncle of the bride.
Immediately after the ceremony a
bountiful and appetizing dinner was
served, after which an hour was
spent in a pleasant social way by the
guests and bridal couple. Then the
bride and groom left for the home of
the groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. p. Stribling, near Fair Play,
where an elegant reception was
awaiting them.
Mrs. Stribling, as Miss Anderson,
was a very popular and attractive
young lady of superior intellect, and
represents two of the best families
of Anderson county-Anderson and
Browne.
The groom is a handsome young
man and possesses many fine traits
of character. He comes from two of
the most prominent families of Oco-
nee county-Sheldon and Stribling.
Our best wishes go with this young
couple, who are just starting on their
life voyage. Miss nellie will be
missed in the community and in the
home circle, but she goes to be the
light and Joy of another home.
