Work on High School Building Hurried.

The contractors are doing their utmost
to finish the High School Building on sche-
dule time. The walls will soon be finished,
and if they have pretty weather we may
exspect the classes to begin work in the
new building on the first day of the new
year.
The building is to be a handsome one,
with ample Accommodations for High
School work for some years to come. The
Trustees of the City Schools will equip it
with all ~up-to-date paraphanalia necessary
for such a school.
The limit of the contractor is Nov. 18th.
1t is possible that he may finish the build
ing by that time, but such a thing is not at
all probable. Experience has taught US
all that a contractors time is like hauling
rock for walling q we'll. Haul what you
think you will need and then haul just that
much more-find out the time the con-
tractor wants and then mentally double
the dose.

-Four Successful Years.

There Is every reason to believe that
the production here of 1.-The Lion and
the Mousse" Charles Klein's latest
play which Henry B. Harris will pre-
sent on Friday, Oct. %, will prove one
of the, if not the social as we'll as dIa-
matte event of the entire season. The
success of the play is now known
throughout the country, having broken
all records in its run at the Lyceum
Theatre, New York, had three years,
of uninterrupted success. The play
abounds in human feeling, vivid
interest and ia drawn from real 400
current life. 1t is redolent OF WAL
Street and Fifth Avenue. Hence Its
hold upon the public. It puts modern
wearing the commercialized spirit OF
the age. Indeed, this great play can:
not fail to appeal to all classes OF
theatregoers in the strongest way.
The cast presenting it is an exception.
ally fine one. Tickets on sale at Mil

ing criminal assault upon a pretty little
ten veal old girl in the eastern part OF the

Where the Cotton Goes.

A circular letter Of a New York broker,
recapitulateS a few Of the uses to which
cotton is put. In view of the oft-asked
question as to where the 100000 bales OF
cotton go when made INTO manufactured
goods the following will be worth while:
Cotton enters into the manufacture OF
more articles today than any other COM
modify except steel.
eliminate cotton and the Stoppage OF
spindles and looms would be but a trife
compared to the paralysis that would visit
countless other industries.
"The railroads of America consume $50,
900 bales of cotton annually. Cotton duck
is the basis of the airbrake hose; of EN-.
ameled ceilings; the plush chairs are OF
cotton; the leather seats are Of cotton.
automobiles require about 100000 bales
annually for the manufacture OF tires and
about 5000 annually for the manufacture
of leather seats and cushions.
more cotton is used each year to har.
vest and and market the grain crops of the
world than would be required to clOthe the
inhabitants of a large city.
Electricity, powerful as it is, cannot
get along without cotton. Millions OF
miles of copper wire annually owe the
perfection Of their insulation to cotton
yarn or tape of cotton cloth.
The armies Of the world today are
clothed IN cotton th-khakl- some
thing similar. This country alone requires
about 5000, 900 yards of eight-ounce khaki
cloth annually for its army.
THE navieS and merchant ships OF the
world use more cotton duck today than
was required in the days Of sailing vessels.
millions of yards of cotton cloth are
used by the tobacco industry for growing
tobacco under shade and making bags for
smoking tobacco.
Cotton bags have displaced barrels to
a great extent in the shipment of sugar,
salt and flour.
Cotton is used in the mining and mar
keting of coal. About 100000 yards of
cotton duck annually are made into coal
bags.
"About 90, 100000 yards of cotton duck
are made into .~overcoats with blanket
lining, to take the place of heavy wool and
fur garments in the American and Cana
dian northwest.
Thousands of bales annually are re-
quired to make cotton duck to place
around the asbestos sectional covering in
which the steam hot water pipes of fire
proof buildings are encased.
Cotton blankets have displaced wOelen
blankets in many important markets of
the world.
Cotton cloth has taken the place of
wall paper in thousands of modern homes.
Cement companies use about 5000, 900
yards of cotton bagging annually.
'The government requires about 4,OOO.-

In some of the newspapers are remarks
about raising taxes to meet expenses when
the revenue from the ~dispensary is cut
off. We have heard that the Abbeville
City Council will cut down expenses to the
amount OF the income, which we think is
the best thing to do. But it is hoped that
good lights may be put in front Of both
the Court House and the City Hall.
They are the finest buildings that we
have and at night are nearly enveloped in
darkness. In fact, the darkest part Of the
public square Is in front OF these two
buildings.
