are striving to become large, is the
offering of inducements to manufact-
uring concerns. The Holley-M Mat
thaws Co had a very attractive pro-
position made to them by Helena,
Ark, and they made it condition
upon which they would come 20
Greenville, that we should give them
a site, and bear hall the expense OF
a spur track to their plant, IN addition
to- getting them exemption from tax
es. In return for this they executed
and gave us a contract that their pay
roll for three years, beginning with
June I, 1907, and ending June I, 1910
would not be less than $4,000. It is
exceeding this amount as it now has
over $1,000 per month. To show well
they are satisfied, | will read you a
letter recently received:
Mr.. t. c. Holmes, President,
Business Mems League,
Greenville, Miss.
Dear Sir:
Please accept our sincere thanks
for the courtesies extended our COM
pany by your league since the begin
ming of our operations in your city
as we feel highly pleased with the
treatment received from yourself, the
citizens of Greenville and the vicin-
ity in general. and as yet we see no
cause to regret the locating of our
plant at this place.
your league was to spend for labor
within the three years from June
I, 1907, to Jun7 1, 1910, sum
not less than $4,000. I find upon
investigation, that our pay roll ia
running approximately $4,000 per
month, which, as you see, will COM
plete our part of the contract within
about half the time specified in the
contract.
Again thanking yourself and the
league for the favors extended us,
we beg to remain,
Yours truly,
Holley-M atthews Co,
(S1gned) w. G.. Holley, Pres.
II was no easy matter for the
board of directors 10 comply with
their part of the contract. Some of
our best workers were absent from
the city last August, and we barely
had a quorum present, but those that
were here never hesitated in single
instance to do their full part. The
site upon which the Holley- Mathews
plant is located, is an ideal one for a
manufacturing concern, and now that
we have had a track laid, it should
offer great inducements for other
nlants to locate here.
A great many OF our merchants are

IN all parts of the country reduc-
tion in the price of meats is report
ed, and the people have quitely won
big strike without creating trouble.
Beef, pork and mutton prices have
been beyond the reach of the poor
mans purse for more than a year,
and without comment these items
of diet have been curtailed as to
quantity, in millions of American
homes. The result is now being
revealed by lower prices but they
are yet far above a normal. The
local meat dealers report but little
demand for fresh pork at present
prices, and even salted meats have
fallen in sympathy with otherprice

IT is the duty of every Republi-
can in Delaware to recognize what
he owes to his party, and to care
fully consider what course all loyal
Republicans must follow in the
immediate future. Time has per-
mitted the results of the recent elec-
tion to mellow in the feelings of the
people, and reprisals will not bring
success next year. There is but
one course for any good Republican
to follow, and that is the leadership
of those who have been set at the
head of the party by the majority !
of the Republicans of Delaware
Senators Henry A. du Pont and |
Harry A. Richardson. They are
our chosen representatives in the
Senate at Washington, and it is the
duty of all Republicans to uphold
their hands and bring about victory
at the polls in 1908. By this we do
not mean that blind idofitry shall
be the policy of Republicans gener-
ally but, that the organization of
the Republican party in Delaware
must recognize them as the leaders
through the next campaign, and
organization for that purpose. So
long as the game is played fair; so
long as every man has the chance
TO be heard, and is recognized for
his true worth, there should be no
kickers, and so far as this policy is
carried out, we believe that every
true Republican will line up and
pull steadily for victory. When S
states are up, it is time for their
breaking, and every man is entitled :
to get as large slice Of the trag- t
ments for his own use as it is posi-
bic. All should have a preference,
but where the nominations are j.
made by the majority, then that
is the nominee of the
whole party, and should be loyalty tt
supported.

ONE-COLOR WOMAN.

An excellent plan is to have all
ones winter clothes Of the same
color, but in different shades. In
this way several toilets can be ar
ranged out of two or three.
The short tailor-made skirt or the
long visiting one go equally well with
the velvet coat, which can be worn
with the small hat or the Gainsbor
ough. This arrangement of one
scheme of color throughout is not pc
culiar to the economical mind either
for a woman whom I know to have
limitless wants and deep purse from
which to satisfy them was choosing
hats the other day and she deliberate
ly kept to one color in different tones
and shapes.
Only in her theatre hats did she
depart from this rule

very pretty. Besides, they are mod

in semblance of an Easter lily. while
another attractive style is the simple
pear shape. There are a variety of
other designs, all pretty.

SEA BIRDS GAVE WARNING.
Their Frightened Cries First Storm
Signals to People Of Mobile.


Sea birds soaring in from Mobile
Bay sounded the first note of alarm
and in true Paul Revere style warn
ed the people Of that stricken city
Of the approach of the coast storm
that later brought such havoc to life
and property. Through some mex
plainable atmospheric condition these
sea birds have advance knowledge
of coming storms, and they invariab-
ly seek the shelter Of the inland coun-
try. Not only do they look to their
own safety, but they shrek loudly as
they soar to cover and herald their
note of warning to man and beast.
AS early as Sunday night the peo-
pie of Mobile had given recognition
to the first flights of Mother Cary's
chickens" rather timorous sea bird,
which were coming in droves from
the coast and passing Mobile in their
early haste for shelter. Monday
morning the more courageous sea
gulls began to follow in the path
of the timid Mother Cary's chick
ems" and later in the day whole
hocks of pelicans brought up the rear
of the procession that was headed to
safety.
birds could be plainly heard above
the din and noise Of the busy city,
and in the outskirts their presence
had been widely commented upon,
and accepted as a sure forerunner OF
the disaster that followed so soon
after. The people had no further
knowledge of the coming storm than
that supplied by these aquatic birds
but that was assurance enough to
satisfy all that storm was invad-
ing the coast section and that it
might take its course up the bay.
Throughout Monday the presence
of the frightened birds from the coast
vas the feature Of conversation. BY
Monday night there had been such
Il general sjcrm discussion that the
people of Mobile no longer doubted
the storms coming, but only specu-
faxed Oh the time of its arrival. The

HIGH VELoCiTIEs SPOIL GUNS.
Coast Defense Weapon Would Not
Last Through Single Engage
ment.

mat the twelve-inch gun now in
use at most of the coast fortifica-
lions of the United States would not
last through an engagement of two
hours is the assertion made in his
annual report by Brig. Gen. William
Crozier, chief of ordnance.
This is the period that would elapse
from the time the leading vessel of
fleet would come within range un-
til the last vessel would pass beyond
range.
Gen. Crozier thinks that it is of the
utmost Importance that some method
De devised whereby necessary gun
power can be secured with less cast
than is involved in using the pro-
jectiles of very high velocities now
employed, with the accompanying
rapid wearing away of the rif1ing.
The twelve-inch gun will last for
about sixty pounds, and as it is cap
able of being fired forty-five times
an hour, the limit of its life could
be reached in less than an hour and
half
Similar statements can be made
with regard to guns Of smaller cali.
bres. says the report, although as the
calibre diminishes the admissible
velocity increases.
BY lowering the velocity of the -
inch projectile from $500 to $3.50
feet per second the life of the gun is
increased to 200 pounds.
The penetration of armor would be
reduced, that of the Pinch gun at
10000 yards coming down from
about 1917 inches to about 9 inches,
and the range at which it's projectiles
would penetrate II inches of armor
plate being reduced from about 5000
yard to about 5000 yards.
Gen. Crozicr says that by using
in the situations requiring greatest
power a 14-inch gun with 2,15O feet
per second velocity of projectile, in
stead of the Pinch gun, the army
would secure a better gun and one
which would last four times as long.
He adds that the Taft board recon-
mended this gun, and that the depart
ment has decided to use it in place of
the 12-inch gun in situations where
the highest power IS Tequired.-New
