vestgating the murder of Mir. Archibald, which occurred in some unknown man. ner here Saturday, continued its investi- gation until in the night last night The evidence that was available, however, was very meagre, and nothing definite has been discovered as yet to lend any more clues to the mystery In fact, the evl- dence adduced, seems rather to be favor able than otherwise to the man Boley, who is being held pending further in- vestigation. There was some evidence introduced which seemed in a way to connect this man with the affair, but most of 1t tended to contradict this.
 The great number of warm friends that the Rev. J. s. Robertson and his family have made during their stay here, read the news with a great deal of regret that the conference will not return him to this place. MT. Robertson had only been here one year, but time enough to get quite a hold on the Methodist congre- gation and on the town of Tuscaloosa, and they give him up to Decatur very re- gretfully. The same report shows that the Rev. s. E. Wasson has been detailed to this station. Although MT. Wasson is not well known here, quite number Of citizens of this place are acquainted with him, and from these the statement IS made that MT. Wasson will make an ideal pastor of the church here

cotton crop wherever they are used.
These new cottons have been bred
from the native and short staple up

three-quarters of an inch longer in
fiber than cotton grown from the par

My two previous trips into the arc

With that 1t is possible to reach the

with 80 more or less it is all right.
My airship has been designed on
different principle from all preceding
ships of this character. 1t is not built

to fifteen statute miles an hour. and
$500 pounds of gasoline will be car
ried as fuel. This will drive the ship
for a distance of LOO miles. requiring
about 40 hours. The distance from
Spitzbergen to the pole is estimated at
1,200 miles, so will be provided with

absolutely necessary.
