President Roosevelt Thursday gave
publicly to a letter he has received
from c. W. NIAGARA, president of the
international Federation of Master
! Cotton Spinners' and Manufacturers
Association, dated at Manchester,
England, November c.

tic terms Of the future of the cotton
! Industry in the United Safes and the
benefits derived from the Atlanta
: Convention and the Southern tour of
the mem bers Of the Federation. The
letter follows:
Il beg to acknowledge the rece. pt
Of Your valued letter of October is.
The interest which YOU have
shown in the aims Of the Inlernation-
al Federation Of Master Cotton Spin
ne-s' and Manufactures Association,
under whose auspices the delegation,
representing the cotton using coun-
tries of Europe, visited America, will
be matter of intense satisfaction,
not only to the delegation itse:., but
to every member Of the International
Federation.
The Convention which was held
at Atlanta October and 9 was the
most remarkable gathering ever held
in connection with the cotton indus
Try, as it embraced Representatives Of
American and European sp%nners Of
Cotton Exchanges Of the world, and
of the cotton planters of the South
ern States of America. 1t undoubt-
edly marks an epoch in the history
Of the cotton industry.
AS stated in your letter. the In
ternational Cotton Federation aims at
the promotion of stable conditions
through the world for the cotton in
dusiry. and l feel certain that it is
impossible to over-estimate the bene-
fl which may accrue to one Of the
greatest international industries by
the frank interchange OF opinion,
which tool, place at the Atlanta Con-
vention.

Fate Of tho Universe.

In the universe there Is but one per.
petual and unchaRgilg fact, and that
is-chanse. Nothing stands still Ev.
erything Is moving either forward or
backvard-from death to life, from
chaos to order and back again to death
and chaos, to turn again in time to-
ward life and order And so the ever.
lasting drama goes on. Solar systems
and sunfowers, worlds and worms,
must alike return TO the dust from
which they came. It is the law OF
change, the endless march around the
circle Of birth and DEATH death and
birth.-NeH YORK American

BIG BEAR ESCAPES.
Old Bruin Has Fun With Pigs and
Poultry.


A big bear escaped from some
show people at Florence on Wednes-
day night. When they awoke next
morning they found the great big
bear had made tracks for the woods
or swamps. Luckily for them it had
rained and it was an easy thing to
track the wanderer. Panther" the
big dog, a pet in the show, was taken
along to trail "Old Bruin," and about
four miles from the city he was locat-
ed, going in the direction of the
swamp that follows Black Creek. He
was retaken and brought back to
the city and replaced in his cage.
While at large the bear had quite a
frolic of it, for when he struck the
city limits he knew ne was monarch
of all he surveyed" and proceeded to
slay chickens and the like, at one
place managing to capture a good
sized "shoat."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE SUNDAY.
Livery Stable Of Reynolds & Edge Burn
ed-0ther Property Menaeed-
Fireman ]. J. Ray Injured.

About s o'clock Sunday morn.
ing the livery stable of Reynolds &
Edge, adjacent to the Bryan Water,
Light and Power Co., was destroy
ed by fire. The flames appear &c
have originated in the feed loft, but
in what manner has not been de-
termined. The confagration spread
rapidly owing to the inflamable
character of the building and its
contents.
The horses were quickly cut loose
and driven out without the lose of
an animal, and most all the vehic-
les were gotten out. The loss of
vehicles, so far as the Eagle has
been able to learn, includes FIVE
buggies and wagon. There was
also large amount of feed stuff
destroyed, including corn, alfalfa
and fodder. J. w. Hunnicut had
about a car of alfalfa stored in the
loft, which was a total loss. A car
of corn was included in the stock
of feed on hand, and was burned
and water damaged to such an ex-
tent that the entire lot was sold TO
Henry Berger for $40.
The total loss was probably $1,000
with $4,000 insurance on the build
ing and $1,000 on vehicles and feed
stuff. Charlie Smith, who is an
employee, and had room up stairs
in the front part OF the building, !
lost his clothing and personal effects
and small amount of money.
The property was recently FUR
chased by Geo. d. Tucker from
the ID. d. McCorquodale estate for
$4,000. The title had no, passed,
but the Eagle understands that an
agreement was made that the in
surance on the building should go
to Mr.. Tucker in the event of fire.
The insurance OH feed and vehicles
is held by Reynolds & Edge.
