h Memphis As Ia Brlnkley.

There were those who were free in their predictions tha' prohibition which became ef- fective July 1st was going tt ruin business in the city o1 Memphis.
 The Memphis papers of Wed esday Sert 1st tell he story o1 Memphis ruin" fro, Mc ef- fleets of prohibition. It b ln- corpo1ated in summing up a. q comparison of bank clearances for the month of August and It is indeed most startling and disappointing piece of news to those who see the only way of prosperity thro' the gilded glassef of the saloons.
 The Memphis bank clearance for August show the enormous gain of over $2, 370, 000, over the same month of 1908 when licensed saloons were in. That's the same old story with nearly every city and town in America. In Brinkley, it's the same and there is not a single reputable business man in the city NOW who would not oppose the re- urn of the licensed saloon.
 True t is that there can not be a perfec. freedom from the blind tiger violations but what law u1 r Che sun IS 1t taat is not violated to a greater or less degree? There is not 9 single one and TO reasonable fair mind ed person will demand and ex- pect more out of the prohibition laws than cut ofother prohibition statutes.
 Memphis prosperity will in- crease and wonderfully so too, if she vi now "clean up' and rid herself of the lawless im- moral element that have over ridden her laws for 50 many years.

Interesting Letter From Ex- Brinkleyite in the
 CarOlinaS.

Salisbury, N. C., Sept, l, 'O9. Dear ARGUS:
 never visit the Piedmont re- zion of the Carolinas that 1 do ask myself this question: If cotton mills, operated in the Carolina, pay dividends, why will they not pay dividends op- erated in Arkansas and other southwestern states?"
 South Carolina has more spind- les in operation than any yof the southern states. Georgia is a close second with North Caro- lima there. The Piedmont sec ton is filled with cotton mills. The town without a cotton mill is the exception, many of them having from three to a half doz- en different mills, and some few few being the proud possessors of from twenty to thirty such plants. There are any number of towns, ranging in population from 1900 to 5000, that are known as cotton mill towns. By this-fs meant that the population lis con posed entirely of mill op eratioa,. A company will se- feet a suitable location on rail- road, perhaps in an old field near to a good water supply, erect their plant and imn1 ediately a thriving manufacturing commu- nifty has come into existence. And it is not an. unusual thing Ito find a mill So newhat isolated from the main highway of public traffic. But this is usually due U the existence of some capable water power, which eliminates the use of steam as motor power. Of course there are many details of motor power. fuel, rates, ship ping facilities, etc., to be con- siiered in the investment of a cotton mill; bat, if cotton mills will pay in Massachusetts, as they have been doing for years, and also in Kansas City, and points wholly in the tobacco section of North Carolina and Virginia, these places all being removed from the source of supply, why will they not pay in Texas, Ok lahoma, Arkansas and Mississip- pi? It seems to m, that the question is a timely one.
 But this section does not con- fine itself wholly to cotton mills. All Sorts of manufacturing plants are being put into operation. the people apparently having awak- ened to the fact that no town or city can hope to hold it5s own in this age of industrial develop ment that does not surround it. self with permanent manufac- turing interests.

NEW YORK, Aug. DIR. LUX
Wing, Chinese vice consul here,

been identified as a former Chi

Then you are rather apt to
conclude that you are nearer the
temperate zone than the tropical,
but this last. idea Is distinctly
dangerous one to get into your
head. Venture out between sun
rise and sunset without cork
helmet and the vertical sun rays
will give you a stroke and fever
as sure as fate, though the wealth

may be covered. Dress too warm
lily at noon so as to get overhead

get chilled, and you will scarcely
escape being i'll.
AS for beasts and insects, re-
joice at their not being conspicu-
Gus, but do not wander too far
out of town at night without a
light, for there are leopards still
praying about after small dogs
which they love, and there are
awful insects called jiggers, which
burrow into your feet and lay
sacks of eggs there, and IL you all
low the said eggs to hatch out in
the flesh you will have serious
trouble, which, in some cases, has

Ishop behind gratings or curtains
and put their cord beds out on
the verandas to allow room inside
for client or two.
Nairobi's streets present many
picturesque scenes. Natives are
everywhere, and you do not for
get that this is still the black
mans country. Walk any day
down the main thoroughfare,
called Government road, which
marks the very center of the
town, and leads past the govern
ment offices to the shopping dis
trict and the railroad station, and
at what should be the busiest
part you will find a rude cart sur
rounded by swarm of Kikuyus
blocking the entire road. What
may seem almost stranger than
their presence, Is the fact that
they are in nobody's way, since
there are few people who require
to pass; and you may have only
a few hundred yards to walk be-
fore your progress is blocked by
a herd of young ostriches being
driven along as IL the town be-
longed to them.
Although the usual means of
transport are OK wagons, some
times a camel cart enters town
with a shipment of furniture or
and on rarer occasions
two are seen together, so that one
would think oneself somewhere in
Egypt. But the purely African
standing round about
soon dispel that illusion. sinceI
only Somalis have a trace of the

are slight risks from animals OF
insects, and as for health, 1t de-
ponds entirely on two or three
precautions which are so ele-
mentarily simple that a man must
needs be a fool to neglect them
The consequence is that Nairobi
makes one of the most delightful
year-round resorts one could i'm
agine, god for both heart and
lungs, and general bodily condi-
tions.
Nevertheless, IL an American
or European stays more than two
or three years at stretch, he
becomes depressed to the verge
of melancholia and so violent in
temper and unreasonable in ideas
that his best friends would not
know. This is an effect of the
sun on the head in spite of cork
helmets, say climatologists, but a
few months in temperate zone
suffices to set everything right
again, and man may return to
Nairobi and feel good for several
years more.
The houses in Nairobi are de-
signed to resist heat, dust and
moisture rather than for durabil-
ity and beauty. Even the we'll
paid officials live in tin bunga-
lows, and the government offices
and the railroad station are also
of tin. They are one-storied, with
peaked roofs of corrugated tin.
All the houses stand In expansive
grounds to allow gardens and
trees, generally blue gums, to be
planted. This prevalence of tin
was due partly to difficulties in
transportation and partly to the
sense of uncertainty about the
duration of the town itself. It
is only some six years since the
project of moving the entire town
some miles further up the line to
a better site was seriously dis
cussed and came very near being
adopted. Now that the old site
has won out, stone buildings are
beginning to grow up on all sides,
md the government is putting up
l stone treasury and stone post
office in the middle of the plain.
The hotels are one-storied like
the houses, but are built of stone,
as are the leading stores, especial
ly the headquarters of the various
safari outfitters. But the person
who comes to Nairobi to see a
new phase of life will probably
prefer the native stores round the
bazaar, where Indian vendors keep

NAIROBI, British East Africa,
June 25.-There are many pecu-
liarliar things about this little
city, Nairobi, which Col. Roose-
welt makes his hunting headquar-
ters, and to which place he will
return soon for rest and to pre-
pare for another expedition.
The climate is the most pecu-
liar. Look at the map and you
will find Nairobi about three de-
grees from the equator. You
might expect, therefore, to broil
"a hours at time, be exposed to
all the terrible tropical diseases
and insects, and be surrounded by
all kinds of Africa's savagest ami
mails.
Nothing much doing.

to be at loss to understand why
Campbell did not stop the train in

train was standing still and could

stretch of straight track ahead.
No steps toward an investigation
of the cause of the wreck have
been taken.
Several officials declared that

caring for the victims and that an
Investigation will be started as
