MAXIMITE

Maximite, named after Hudson Max
i'm, it's inventor, is fifty times more
powerful than dynamite and is the
most terrible known. The United
States Government possesses the
secret of making it, and it can be
fred in the ordinary loaded shells
from the regular turret guns or broad
side batteries. The Boston Transcript
says. This is strange substance, the
exact composition of which Is secret
known only to Mr.. Maxim and his
workmen and the Navy Department.
In spite of its enormous explosive
power it can be ignited in the ordi-
nary way. A barrel of it set on fire
would burn like so much grease or
tar, and 1t is even asserted that
melted hot iron poured upon a mass
of maximite would not explode 1t.
This material can itself be melted and
poured into shell and the shell can
then be fired through armorplate be-
fore the maximite will burst. That is,
the bursting will come not on the face
Of the plate, but after the shell has
penetrated the vitals of an enemy.
The energy of this explosive is terrible.
at Sandy Hook have
shown that one shell charged with the
new explosive is broken into more
than 10000 fragments. War conduct
ed by such awful engines as this will
certainly deserve all of Gen. Sherman's
famous Characterization. The cele-
brated shimose powder of Japan is
eclipsed by miximite, which seems to
be as safe and docile AS 1t is destruc-
tive. "-Nashville American.

BRYAN'S CHANCE

There is chance for Mr.. Bryan t
be elected President of the United
States. He was elected once just at
ter Mr.. Cleveland had done his utmost
to defeat the party whose highest
office he enjoyed. 1t was necessary tc
steal Ohio and Illinois "bodaciously'
to keep him out of the office.
Now comes his chance again. If he
be nominated he may have the bene.
At of the republican dissensions that
are now serious. Suppose the great
interest should decide to punish the
Roosevelt administration by electing
the opponent, whose ideas Mr.. Roose-
welt has openly adopted? The great
interests might argue thus I'VE can
elect Bryan and thus punish the ideas
called 'Rooseveltism.' He cannot hurt
us because we have the senate in
our own hands and congress will not
probably be democratic during his
term"
Suppose the negroes should decide
to give their votes to an independent
candidate to help punish Mr. Roose-
welt? There is a movement of that
kind now. Suppose the Foraker fac
ton and the regulars" in several
states should decide to join the stay
at home" delegation, there would be
no doubt of Bryan's election
These things are all in the bounds
of probability. The Presidents
friends made possible the election of
a democratic governor of Ohio last
time. Foraker may retaliate. SO
without going wild, 1t is entirely possl-
BILE that Mr.. Bryan may be elected.
This is taking II for granted that he
will be the democratic nominee.-Bir-

FIFTEEN CENTS THE
PRICE OF COTTON
NATIONAL FARMERS UNION AND
SOUTHERN COTTON ASSoclA-
TON AGREED ON FIGURES.

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. Fifteen
cent cotton! On this proposition, at
least, the two great organizations OF
farmers in the cotton producing belt
are united.
First, in the annual meeting of the
Farmers Union in Little Rock the
slogans was "Fifteen-Cent Cotton.
President Charles s. Barrett and the
entire great organization he heads
stand squarely behind that PROPOSE
ton. and the union claims near mill
lion membership
Now, the current issue of the South
ern Cotton Journal, the official organ
of the Southern Cotton Association,
headed by Harvie Jordan, who is also
editor of the paper named, comes out
straight for 15-cent cotton. On the
front page of the issue for Sept. B
appears the following:
Five reasons why cotton should
bring Is cents per pound:
81. Because it is worth that price.
%. Because the world is fully able
to pay it and will need every bale
produced this year, and more, for
consumption during the next twelve
months.
80. Because spinners have con-
tracted their output at prices that will
enable them to make handsome profits
after paying Is cents for the raw ma
terial.
"a. Because the grower should and
ought to have the profits that some
one else will pocket unless cotton
should bring Is cents.
SO. Because the farmer, who isl
the foundation of the Nations wealth
and credit, is entitled to a profit on
his labor--is the best reason why cot
ton should bring Is cents per pound"

SPAN OF LIFE is
GROWING LONGER
DR.. WILEY, CHIEF or BUREAU OF
CHEMISTRY, TELLE WHY
1T IS so.

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-Dr. Har-
vey Wiley, Chief of the Bureau OF
Chemistry Of the Department OF Agri-
culture, and one Of the foremost au-
thorities on pure food In the country,
asserts that the average span OF hui
man life is increasing. Among the
chief factors in prolonging human life,
in the opinion of DR.. Wiley. is the
comparatively recent Improvement OF
social ethics which has made 1t fash
ionable again for mothers to nurse
their babies themselves, with the con-
sequent decline in the vogue of the
numerous baby foods"
There are several other reasons
why the human race is tending to
longer life and DR.. Wiley thinks that
they are having such potent infu-
ence that the time will come when
three score years and ten will be the
usual and not the exceptional allot-
ment to men. Beginning with the i'm
provement in the rearing OF small
children, DR.. Wiley said:
vital states show that deaths
among infants under FIVE years old
are not so numerous as they were
twenty FIVE years ago. A baby under
1--WE years now has about twice the
chance of living that it had then.
People have learned that artificial
baby foods are not to be compared
with the nourishment Of babies to
natural foods. Mothers are now nurs-
ing their own babies to greater ex-
tent than they did some years ago,
and are abolishfng artificial baby food.

EDWARD L. HARPER
GOES BROKE AGAIN
FAILURE OF UNION IRON G. STEEL
CO., MAKES PROMINENT A
MAN WITH sPEcTAC-
ULAR LIFE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-When the an
nouncement was made yesterday that
receiver had been appointed for the
Union Iron & Steel Company, with Of
fees in this city. friends who recalled
the remarkable financial career of Ed
ward L. Harper said the failure would
be death blow to his hopes that he
would yet pay off every dollar of his
$6,00O,000 Indebtedness. The company
was the offshoot of $60,0OO,OOO en-
terprise which Mr.. Harper organized
several years ago, and chief interest
in the announcement of it's failure Gen.
tered In the fact that the concern was
under the management of Mr., Harper,
who failed for millions years ago, af-
ter a disastrous speculation in wheat.
His failure carried down the Fidelity
National Bank, of Cincinnati, o., OF
which he was President, and whose
funds he was charged with using In
his wheat corner. He was sentenced
to ten years in prison, and after serv-
ing six years was released. After en-
gaging in several enterprises In Gin
cinnati and the South after his re-
lease from prison, Harper's presence
in New York attracted attention in
1905 by the fact that judgments
to $5,2SO,S29 were entered
against him. He took the matter
and only last year, af-
ter unsuccessfully seeking relief from
a portion of this enormous burden OF
debt, said it was mere trifie to him,
and that he felt confident of paying it
all off in a few years with the profits
from his undertakings.

DAN O'LEARY
ON WALKING
FAMOUS PEDESTRIAN SAYS ExER-
CISE is WHAT MEN AND
WOMEN NEED.

Dan O'Leary, who at o'clock yes
terday afternoon started on LOCO
mile walk in as many hours at a
Cincinnati resort said to aR Enquirer
reporter:
ITO have a healthy mind i must
have a healthy body, but it requires
exercise to get this ideal kind of life. "
What would you suggest to the
weakly men and women who need
exercise?"
Walk; that is what they need"
said Dan. Get out and walk. Do
not take strolls. Vigorous breathing
is what builds up a healthy life. This
physical need for air is the best tonic
that will help to produce graceful
development of the body. Many doc
tors claim that the body needs in
pounds three times as much air as it
does food and drink combined and if
this Is a fact there is nothing more
beneficial than walking. We have
demonstrated this fact mary times
over for the benefit of doctors and
medical science, the same as l am
going to try and demon trate in this
performance that 1t is possible for a
person to walk 1000 miles in that many
consecutive hours. without injury to
40
taken oftener by men, women and
children, life could be prolonged aud
the body preserved by certain atten-
ton. Ease and grace would come to
the person, and, instead Of seeing so
mary wrecked and bent forms, there
would be healthier people. l have
found walking to be the real staff of
life."

CITY ENGINEER
CUTS The WIRES
GAINESVILLE TAKES DRASTIC
ACTION AGAINST cUM5ER-
LAND T. & 7. CO.

+ GAINESVILLE. Tenn, Sept g.
Tonight about o'clock, the city engi-
ueer. with several assistants. cut sew
eral hundred wires Of the Cumberland
Telephone Company's system, togeth-
er with two or three cables, along
Franklin street, the main business and
residential thoroughfare. Mayor
Northington this morning issued in
structions to the city engineer to re-
move all poles and visible wires, al
lowing them until Sept to comply.
The company has refused to do this.
In a statement several days ago,
President James E. Caldwell, of the
Cumberland Telephone Company, stat
ed that they did not propose to com
ply with the ordinance, intimating that
the company would fight the order in
the courts. This statement in addi-
ton to the fact that the company has
made no steps toward complying with
the ordinance, although it provides
that the work should have been be-
gun not later than the first of this
month, left no other course open to
the city officials than that which the
mayor has ordered-the removal OF
the poles and wires by force.
The wires cut are only those in the
central portion of the city, but never
theless all telephone communication
is practically cut off.

FORCED TO RIDE In
"JIM CROW" CAR

FOR $1,000.

SUFFOLK, Va, Sept. 5.--Mrs Rosa
Stone (white) has sued the Norfolk

she was forced to ride in a Jim Grow

Mrs. Stone, who has been on a vaca-

way officials mistook her for a per-
son of negro descent and forced her
to ride some distance in Jim Grow
car before the mistake was discov-
cred.
