Tax on Hats,

Not only have hats at various times
been subject to taxation, but have even
been made the subject Of special laws.
Thus In, Henry Wis reign none was
allowed to sell hats at larger price
than 20 pence or caps for more than

for this interference with free trade
could be found in the fact that in 1871

Field TO actory.

In one OF the older states there is
said to he In operation over q Consid-
able section a system by which cotton
in the seed is conveyed from the field
to the factory. whore it goes into the
gin seed cotton and comes out Of the
loom finished cloth.
OF course such a system would cut
out the ginner with other men who
arc not needed to do something 10
prepare the staple for Use. 1t would
leave out buyers and sellers, and the
latest is that with a mechanical picker
the hand that has grabbed out the
locks heretofore may be left without
z job.
But it will be some years first. The
factory is coming closer to the field all
the time, and the consumer or weaver
of cotton goods is getting closer to
the producer Of the goods and OF the
cotton; but it will be many years yet
before all the helpers between the two
can be crowded out. There will al
ways be plenty of work for the willing
and faithful helpers to do.-cotton

Increasing the use of Cotton.

There is nc doubt whatever that
something ofimpOrtance is being done
to increase the use Of cotton.
There is quite as little doubt that
to increase the use Of cotton will in.
crease the demand for it.
There is quite as little question that
to increase the demand for cottoa will
increase the price Of it.
Thus the argument moves around in
circle and answers itself.
In this connection, why should not
cotton fibre be available for ordinary
newspaper making? OF course it would
be too costly for use in competing with
the paper product, but some sort Of
filler could be found to work in with
the cotton fiber.
Prepare to cut down the cotton crop
by not planting too much. Arrange
to hold your cotton back to avoid a
crowded market. Do what you can
to encourage those who are seeking to
enlarge the uses for cotton. In time

]. ". VANCE
WAS ASSAULTED
BY McWhorter. The Whole Com
naunity Felt Outraged.

Grenada was thrown into a fever OF
excitement last Sa urday evening,
by the annonncem Mt that Mr.. j.
W. Vance had been assaulted by
one L, u. McWhorter, who bad
for several months been connected
with the Waysde Inn. The commu-
nifty was all the more indignant be-
cause it was at first thought, and
circumstances warranted the conclu-
sion, that McWhorter bad two con.
federates to stand by to aid him if
necessary, and especially prevent
any. interference. Nc Whorter was
promptly arrested and was arraigned
before Mayor Tatum The city hall
was crowded with spectators, who
were eager to see the severeSt penalty
Of the law meted out to McWhorter
However. Notwithstanding the fact of
his cCurtly dress, be was unable to
raise the money to hire an attorney
and be asked that the case be con-
tinued until Monday morning, which
was grantnd. On Monday morning
equally as large crowd was present,
and the court at once proceeded to
business. Mr.. Cowles Horton ap-
peared to represent the city in the
prosecution. McWhorter evidently
had failed to raise the cash to fee an
attorney as no one appeared for him
The evidence showed brutal assault
and his honor. Mayor Tatum imposed
a fine Of $50 on Nc Whorter. He made
some arrangements to pay his fine
and the court costs, and in less than
thirty minutes, he took the first
train that would carry him away
from Grenada, as he had no doubt
surmised that the atmosphere would
not be healthy for him here.
McWhOrter impressed the commu-
pity as an adventurer, and the town
feels that it has profted by his de-
parture. 1t is believed by many that
he was dispensing whiskey whenever
the opportunity was offered, as gen.
tleman, whose veracity could hardly
be questioned, stated that McWhorter
exhibited letter in his perSence,
not long ago, from a whiskey house
in Memphis that advised that the
house had that day shipped him 80
quarts of whiSkey Quite quantity
for one man to buy, that did not ex-
pect to sell, unless he expected the
river to go dry. 1t is hoped that
McWhorter did not fleece anybody in
the community. Facta, non verba,
caused him to 60.

venture to differ with the brilliant
theologian, golden tongned Jewish
preacher. Love is not in antagonism
to Death. Indeed death is the thing
that makes for life, all through ma
tlre. The poet Henley beautifully
conceives Of Death, the lover OF life,
pursuing and finally winning her.
There would be no life, if there were
no death, and in life, though we do
no think so usually, there would be
no love but for the imminence of
death. and throughout all poetry
runs the upwelling thought OF death
in association with love, the tenderest
and most passionate. A William Marion
