WANTED-GRAY JEANS.

Some good woman with an old-fash-
ioned hand loom should seize at its
flood the tide Of popularity which set
In for gray jeans when Speaker Joe
Cannon set covetous eyes on Congress-
man Wyatt Aiken's shapely suit of
Oconee jeans. Now Oconee jeans en-
fold his own manly breast and steal
gray jean trousers cling to his own
generous calves. And consequently
Congressman Aiken could dispose OF
countless bolts of gray jeans to Wash
ington tailors. , u.
''Yes. sir, give you one just like Mr..
Cannon's. sir; flt you like a glove. All

Credit for the craze belongs really
to General M. L. Bonham, OF Ander-

suit looked we'll on him is no test of

Three years ago General Bonham
found and carried Off as a prize of
great value q bolt Of geuine steel gray
jeans. He took it home and had his
tailor make it up into a neat, close
fitting sack suit. Since then half a

THE PARADOX OF MARKETS.
What's tie matter with this crazy
cotton market? It's doing precisely
the thing it oughta't to do. according
to all precedents and natural condi-
tions Why Is it?'
I asked the question OF q man who
has made and lost more thousands In
cotton than anybody in Greenville.
lit liz the history OF the cotton mar
ket.". he said. "that the market must
always go against natural conditions
during large part Of the season. The
reason Is sImple-the small operator
in cotton iS usually O man who knows
something about cotton; the small or
orator Is wonderful student of con-
dittons. and when you take him In the
aggregate he Is usually right in his
views as to the natural course of the
market--the natural course, mind you.
1.-The correctness Of the views OF the
majority cs the sisiaii traders makes
the market either 'oversold' or over
bought as the saying Is. The big
fellows have q way of knowing just
how the little fellows stand and the
pressure is put on to make them let
so. It Is not a question OF tho cor
rectness OF your ideas, when the mar
ket begins to SO against you. It Is q
question OF how long you can hold
on. When your financial fingers are
pried loose. you drop. This Is what
makes the cotton market what It !s-
a paradox and unsolvable puzzle"

? 5000, ,ooO,ooo Bonds for improvements.

New York, February 1O.-The an
nouncement was made this morning that
the Southern railroad directors had de-
cided to ask the stockholders for au-
thority to issue $500, 100000 of develop
ment and general mortgage bonds.
A special meeting of stockholders has
been called, to ratify the proposition, at
Richmond, Va, April 18th.
The Southern Railway already has
stocks and bonds outstanding aggregat-
ing $350.OOO,OOO. About S65, 100000 of
the new issue will be used to retire lien
and mortgage bonds.
Fifteen million of the bonds are to be
issued Immediately for equipment, dou-
BILE tracking, new shops, etc.
The remaining Sl2O,OOO,OOO it is an
nounced, will be used for future acauisi-
tion and betterments.
This bond issue is the largest an
nounced in Wall street in many days
and has caused a great deal of conjecture.
1t is underst' cd that syndicate
headed by j. p. Morgan &c Co. has
formed to purchase the SIS, 900 900 to be
issued now.

Twenty.Eight Killed In Mine Explosion.

Charleston, w. Va, February Sat
least 2S men are supposed to have met
death in terrible mine explosion in the
Parall mine of the Stewart Collieries
Company, near Oak Hill. Thirty-nine
men were employed in the mine and only
two have escaped alive. at midnight
six bodies had been recovered near the
mouth of the mine and it is certain that
all the others in the mine are dead.
The explosion was caused by pocket
of gas, which was struck in the mine
1t is thought that many of the miners
were killed outright by the explosion.
The system of fans was completely
wrecked and all air was shut off from
tie mines, leaving the men who had not
been killed by the explosion to smother
to death. The mine is a shafter mine,
about 700 feet deep, and the unfortunate
miners had little chance of escape. y
Most of the miners caught in the mine
are Hungarians or negroes, who had
little experience in mining. They were
not expecting the pocket of gas, which is
nearly always discovered in mine faults
in the Kanawba region.

Burton Drew His Mileage,

Senator Burton, of Kansas, drew
his mileage Wednesday, and thereby
hangs a remarkable tale. The law
requires that in order for a Senator
to draw mileage he must have been
seen in the Senate Chamber by an
official of that august tribunal. Had
the Kansas Senator stepped within
the portal, and had the eyes of, say
Senator Bailey, of Texas, been
clapped upon him, there is no doubt
that few warm remarks would have
been submitted by the Texan. To
avoid embarrassment of this sort,
and possibly of some other kind, Mr..
Burton declined firmly to show him
self in the chamber proper.
All accounts of the highly elating
incident agree that he was in the Re-
publican cloak room that he was
lured to the door by one official of
the Senate, who artfully engaging
him in conversation, induced him to
face the arena where he once sat
among the mighty of the land, wear.
ing the toga with the purple border,
and when he was gazing-oh, ever
so wistfully gazing-toward the Vice
Presidents dais, two other officials
of the Senate looked him squarely
in his downcast eyes, then off they
strode to the office of Financial Clerk
Nixon and swore that they HAD seen
Senator Burton in the Senate Cham
ber. And so they had.
Then Mr.. Burton drew his mileage,
amounting to something more than
$500. Mr.. Burton, of course, has
been drawing his salary all along
since the Senate has declined to take
action on his case until the courts
have finally passed upon the convic-
tions that hang over him. Whether
Mr.. Burton stays in ashington
much could not be learned Wednes-
day. Nor could his abode there be
ascertained. Naturally the Kansas
contingent decline to discuss him or
his peculiar official status. That he
is still Senator of the United
States, however, is,now fully attested
by the records, except, of course, the
records of the daily proceeding of
the Senate.

Ben TiIIman's Chin.

"Ben" Tillman with his intensity,
his forcibleness, his fearlessness and
his aggressiveness, is sort of ma
tional balance wheel. His honesty
is not doubted and he can be de-
pended upon to say what he thinks,
no matter who it hurts. These are
the days of big things, big virtues
and big wrongs, big philanthropies
and big graft. Thieves are often set
in high places and pose as honest
men. These are facts of the times.
If every Senator and every Repre-.
sentative was to vote yea and hold
his peace, and let any one who would
do his thinking for him, the national
treasury would he licked clean inside
of a year. Men like Tillman may
arouse your fighting desire; they
may lash you into frenzy they
may make you hate. But the big
point is that they cause thought.
They make wrong look all the
blacker, and right the more worth
while. They arouse the combative
qualities of mankind. "Ben" Till
man may often be on the wrong side
of public questions, but his bulldog
chin is a national asset.-Cincinnati
Post.
