From Des Moines Dispatch.
 That Sarah Bernhardt the divine Sarah, was plain Sarah King, a daughter of John King of Rochester, Iowa. and that she started her stage career as Little Eva In 'Uncle Toms Cabin" at Musca- tine, was established to the satisfaction of woman who claims to be her sister here today.
 Bernhardt's alleged sister, Mrs. Lucy King of Minneapolis. said:
 My mother died in 1851 in Rochester, Iowa. She called us around the bedside and bade us goodbye and asked me to take care of Sarah. After my mothers death my elder sister stayed in Roches- ter and Sarah and went to Muscatine, Iowa, and worked in the millinery store of Mrs White.
 We worked there several months when one evening Sarah disappeared. We ate supper together and she finished before I did, and went out in the street I have never seen her from that day to this 1 hired private detectives to look for her and went to Davenport, Iowa, but could not trace her, except that she had gone with an Uncle Toms Cabin" show. I afterward found that sne married man named Bernhardt, so that her name>was then Sarah Bernhardt.
 Mrs. King said she had received sev- eral letters from her sister, also photo- graphs. People in Rochester say that Bernhardt returned there few years ago and decorated the graves of her folks, and carried away some stones from the old home.
 Bernhardt's parents were French Ca- nadians, so the sister says, and came to Iowa from Ottawa. From them she re- ceiVed her knowledge of French. wealthy patron is said to have taken her to France, where she studied her art and made a great success

Homes Wanted d.

Nothing speaks better for community than the fact that there are always on hand inquiries for homes." said MT. Be- thea, the well-known real estate dealer, last evening At present I receive in- quries daily and learn that the supply is not sufficient for the demand. These home-seekers desire to buy or rent, and all property on the market is in de- mand.
 Prom other dealers, I learn" con- tinued MT. Bethea, 'that the demand for homes Is brisk with them too. There is an ever increasing influx of people into the district, it seems. and these people must have houses to live in. I cannot see a reason why real estate should ever deterorate in value.'

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Soldier Life.

Residents of the South Highlands and especially the parents of several young ladies. were very much amused Sunday night at the search which was being made for stragglers by squad of men from Company K of the Alabama Ma tional Guard remarked man yester- day. Several members of Company K, who did not wish to attend the encamp- ment at Selma. failed to report at the armory as ordered, and Captain Perkins sent out searching parties to round them up.
 "A squad of five men. carrying their guns and with fixed bayonets visited the homes of several young ladies. where 1t was thought the delinquent members might be found but without much sue- cess. Until late hour that night squads were searching the town for those who had failed to report ,arresting some in the presence of their young lady friends and routing others out of bed, for Cap tain Perkins had determined to carry all his men with him, whether they wished to go or not"

Reqardinq Vacations.

"It used to be the custom for every man at the head of a large business con cern to take a summer vacation of two months, but now adays most of the high executive officials of large companies take little vacation" said an old citizen "It is safe to say that the average high class executive or well fixed man does not get any more holiday than his clerks. Men prominent in the business world seem to enjoy work, but I doubt if it pays in the long run to keep up the modern lick"

ANCIENT PITTsBUReERs.

From the St. Louis Post-Dspatch.
 Marcus Cato divorced his wife, the mother of his children. in order to oblige his friend, Hortensius, who was in love with the lady and wanted to marry her.
 Then Hortensius died, perhaps to oblige his friend Cato, whereupon the rugged Roman took her to wife again along with the enormous fortune left her by Hor- tensius.
 It was a good stroke of business. Love and lucre got their dues. men were the Pittsburgers of the an- cient world.

WHY COTTON HOLDS THE
 SOUTHLAND ENSLAVED

to death, not because I have no crust to eat, but because the table is bountifully spread. If we make no crop it's ruin, and if we do make one it's ruin too.'
 I think we must come to this: that no farmer or planter can be independent until he grows what will feed him. The man with a crop of cotton alone cannot live on 1t and, therefore, unless he is a whole year ahead of his necessities, he cannot kep it. Whatever the price, he must still sell.
 That fact accounts, I think, for the farmer-speculator, for the credit mer- chant, and for the terrific monster. over production.

 Selma Times: When Horace Hood passed through the city day or so ago on his way to Marion, he reported his prospects of being the next state auditor as most excellent. He lost several weeks

MAN of distinguished bearing en-

WY tered the lobby of a Birmingham
 hotel and strode toward the clerks desk with head erect and his broad shoulders thrown back. His hair was gray A certain unnatural pallor of the skin would have drawn attention to him without the added inducement of his eyes which were dark, glowing and half hid- den under shaggy eyebrows A firm mouth and smooth cheeks completed the facial characteristics of this man whose athletic figure was clad in garments of elegant workmanship. A party of young men in the foyer studied him curiously. "Ill bet that he is an actor" said one. "A literary man." said another, "one who Is a deep thinker and a forceful writer on topics of the day" Quite foreign air." said 8 newspaper man who prided himself on being a close observer. T dare say that he has a past and is a globe trotter of varied experience" You are all wrongl" Cried a young fellow in one corner. That man is captain of in- dustry. Note the latent strength in those shoulders and his strong, mobile face. He is Q leader Of men," The reporter said: Well, just to settle the matter, suppose we ask him about his business?" The rest agreed and the reporter approached the mysterious stranger who had just regis tered his name. Pardon me, sir,' the newspaper man remarked. "A party of young men over there who were struck by your appearance have been making guesses about your profession. Are you a literary manY NO, ain't," said the distinguish ed-looking one, affably, "Tm a snuff drum mer."

Paper From Cotton Stalks.


 The cotton stalks company should not be confounded with the Southern Cotton association simply because Harvie Jordan is president of both. The cotton stalks company is a strict ly business affair, organized under the laws of Maine, to utilize some Pitts burg patents for turning cotton stalks into paper. The new process has been thoroughly tested, and there is noth- ing tentative about it.
 The first plant of the Southern Cotton Stalks Product company was fittingly located at Montgomery, because Mont gomery is a Black Belt county, and fine, large cotton stalks can be gath cred there at minimum cost in trans portation charges. The selection was wisely made, and at Montgomery the new company will endeavor to demon strate the feasibility and commercial advantages of the new process for turning cotton stalks into paper, alco- hol and other by-products
 If the enterprise at Montgomery earns good net money waste product in southern fields will become valu- able, and the farmer will pocket an other dividend. Seed, lint and stalks would render the south's great cash crop inyincible. Paper is great neces- sity. and every year wood pulp be- comes higher in price. and the hope is expressed that paper made from cotton stalks will yet drive wood pulp to the wall At the best wood pulp paper is not durable or desirable. Tho Mont gomery enterprise holds forth the promise of better and cheaper paper, as we'll as more remuneration to the southern farmer.
 The now valueless cotton stalk Is. 1t Is claimed, capable of being turned into paper of good quality, into denaturized alcohol, smokeless powder, guncotton, fertilizer, and perhaps a dozen other products. Doubtless the Montgomery duction of paper. Actual results at Montgomery will determine the com mercial value of the new process. There is nothing sentimental in the plan. It is commercially feasible or it Is not, and the Montgomery plant will be built and financed for the purpose of working results. No other mill will be built by the company until the one at Montgomery has demonstrated the entire practicability and economic value of the process
 Nearly $500 OOO, 900 has been invested In northern paper mills, but at Mont gomery $200.000 will at the start suf- flee. One-half of that modest sum will be consumed in the erection of the plant, and the other half will be re- served as capital for conducting it. Spruce pine will then be up against the tougn little plant, and revolution in the great paper industry may be begun.
 It is said that to each ton of lint goes ton of stalks, and that in the long run 15,O00,000 tons of stalks could be gathered in southern fields. The worlds production of paper is about 9000,000 tons, so that it may be pos sible to make in the south the worlds supply of paper. A section that clothes the world and makes it's paper would not starve to death, that is certain, or at least it may become so at Montgom- cry.
