MIMIC WAR AT AUSTIN.
Forces Divide and Fight in the Noun
 tain Fastnesses.

Austin. August 3.-The greater part of this morning at Camp Mabry was given over to mimic war between the infantry forces on n tableland plain immediately to the west of camping grounds and in the edge of mountains. where part of the force was permitted to be driven back after time into the mountain fastnesses, where they made steadfast stand, repelling the force from the plain. The entire cavalry squad had a drill at II o'clock. There was an unusually large number of yis- itors in camp today to see the drilis and maneuvers.
 Band concerts and baseball games represented much of the afternoon pro- gramme at Camp Mabry today. A con siderable number of the camp reserve was called into action today tJ prepare for the coming of the state volunteer guard tomorrow Ii is expected that the largest part of the state volunteer guard some 5000 strong will be in camp by Sunday morning, and with them will be the troops from Louisi- ana and New Mexico. This will likely complete the personnel of the troop, both volunteer and regular.
 The work of the field telegraph dur ing today's maneuvers was quite suc- cessful.

Chicago, August 3.-The first test of the new Illinois primary law, passed at a session of the legislature this year, en- abling voters to name party nominees, will be given tomorrow after one of the liveliest primary campaigns ever waged in this state Every voter in three parties republican, democratic and socialist. will be called on to vote directly for candi- dates for office and delegates to the con vention. Prohibitlonists will not partici- pate in tomorrow's election, the voters of that party having made their state and county nominations under the old law prior to July 1, when the new law went into effect.
 Candidates to be voted upon are repre- sentatives in Congress. members of the legislature state treasurer and superin- tendent of public instruction. Delegates will be elected to the state, congressional, legislative. county, sanitary district and municipal conventions.
 The vote tomorrow will also establish sentiment on United States senator. The democratic party has no candidate for United States senator. Interest In this d.

 In Cook county the democrats have a much more spirited contest than the republicans. The nominations for sheriff and county judge are being given most attention.
 The vote for establishing the sentiment of the voters of the various parties is not altogether obligatory, but the general opinion is that no party organization or convention will consider It good policy to disregard this vote. There are, therefore, Just as strenuous efforts on the part of the candidates to obtain plurality at this time as if the plurality vote was binding on the convention, or was in fact a direct nomination If the plurality vote of any candidate gives to him the ma jcrity of the delegates to a convention,

CANDIDATES IN SHEFFIELD.
Bankhead, staIIings and Tyson Among
 Visitors During Past Week.

Sheffield, August 3-tSpecial. .)-The can ddates for the different state offices are very much In evidence here just now. Col J. H. Bankhead spoke here few nights ago. and Jesse Stallings addressed a fair sized audience Wednesday night. He out lined his views upon public questions and devoted a goodly portion of his speech to criticisms of railroads and other corpora tions.
 Judge John R. Tyson of Montgomery candidate for chief justice was visitor here yesterday. He has friends In this county who will support him in his race Candidates for other state offices are making still hunt campaigns also, but the senatorial race seems to be of more interest than any other. It seems that Bankhead Is developing more strength than was expected, but not enough to overcome Johnston and Knox, who seem to have the upper hand here and In Lauderdale It will take the primary to decide the matter

 J. H. Spurlin. chemist for the Little
 Rock Board of Trade in the first Au- gust issue of The 1radesman, is the au- thority for the statement that paper
 stock cannot be made from the cotton

 stock and admits that a cheap grade
 can be made, but not at profit The
 Tradesman also seems to be of the same
 opinion, asserting that inasmuch as no
 plant for making paper from cotton stalks
 had ever been operated to test the com

 disregard them altogether as being of
 more quibbing nature than elevating. When asked about Chemist Spurlin's an nouncement of the impracticabilfty of sue cessful operation. he produced clipping

 chemist of great skill and international
 reputation, was employed ny some cdpi- talists to make thorough analysis Of the cotton stalk with the view of finding
 out it's qualities that could be utilized in the furtherance of manufacturing indus tries After very careful and painstak- ing search, in which treaties on fibrous plants were secured from Washington and Europe. Mir. Sadler reported that
 the stalks could he used, and to an ad- vantage. in the manufacture of paper, and that tf1e bi-products would be of im- mense value from the same source. The report of Mfr. Sadler was also con- hrmed by Chemist Mark W. Marsden of

Great Yield.

The cotton fields of the south, the Press continued, yield annually between 1O,OOO- GOO and 100000 tons. The products of the cotton stalks used In the manufacture of cotton are first alcohols, and then rich fertilizers The Press then asserts. and Mir. Vandiver agrees, that paper could be made and marketed at cost the profit for such a company resulting from the alcohol and fertilizers produced, and that it could be sold for bO per cent less than the paper now put on the market.
 MT. Vandiver has samples of the diff ferent kinds of paper to be manufactured by the company. and would be glad to show them to all interested In the under taking He asserts that the most encour aging sign that he has so far seceved, pointing to the expected success of his company, Is the activity with which the paper trust Is fighting the movement.

 Individual Duty.
 Satan seeks to destroy and God to save the individual man. Our individual re- sponsibility is not to bring the world to Christ, but to bring a single soul-and then go forth and bring another. Conduct is three-fourths of life says Matthew Arnold, and culture is the other fourth. What is this culture? Mir. Arnold an swers as harmonious expansion of all the powers which make the beauty and worth of human nature. Culture goes beyond religion, as religion is generally conceived among us. It is to be had by seeking the best things that have been known and written in the world. It is to be noticed that the essential principal of this culture Is not love- The impulse and effort is not to give and bless others. 1t Is to gather to ones self the beautiful things that have been said. Its doctrine Is not to give but to get It's selhshness Culture in this sense has wrought out its own legitimate results in the lives of its followers. while they have been many assidious attacks upon the genuineness and credibilty of Christian culture as found in Gods word. Christian culture as found in Gods word still lives and yields greater influence and power than ever before. It is based on the principle of love. finding its blessedness in giving, it's consummation in the life of sacrifice. It Is the only culture which develops the best possibilities of character. It is that which draws men out of themselves"
