Want Army to Use Cotton.

Washington, Dec. 9.-An effort is
being made by certain Southern cot
ton mill representatives to get the
war department to substitute cotton
bags for jute bags in the various
uses in the army. The quartermast-
er's department of the army uses a
large number of bags for inclosing
the food of man and beast and the
material now used is imported jute
bagging. For several years this idea
backed by the Farmers Union, and
the Southern cotton mill operators,
has been exploited and now an ap-
pointment has been made by R. D.
Bowen, Of Paris, Tex, an officer Of
the Farmers Union, to talk over the
matter with the secretary of war.
This he will do tomorrow.
The cotton mill men are convinced
that if the government will make a
change it will open up a wider field
for the products of the cotton mills
especially those of the South. One of
the Texas members, Morris Shep-
pard, introduced a resolution in con-
gress year ago directing the war
department to substitute the cotton
for the jute bags.

Wants Harbor Improved.

Washington, D. c., December H..
Senator Tillman has started the
ball rolling for a further develop
ment of Charleston harbor by intro
ducing the following resolution:
THAT the Secretary of War, be,
and he is hereby directed to submit,
as early as practicable, an estimate
of the cost of enlarging the project
for improving Charleston harbor,
South Carolina, so as to secure a
depth of 80 feet at low water with
a suitable width,) in the harbor and
across the bar, together with any
data relating thereto that may be
On file in his department.
In addition to this it is learned to-
day that Representative Legare will
be back in Washington after the
holidays, in fact that he will be in
his seat on the opening day-and
that he will work with Senator Till
man to secure large enough appro-
priation for Charleston harbor to ad-
nit of depth of 80 feet at mean
low water with suitable width both
in the harbor and across the bar.
This is most important matter
to Charleston and the result will be
watched with interest.

Disposing of Horse Thieves.

In the fall of 1868 the people liv-
ing in Mount Pleasant neighborhood
had many horses stolen, and for a
long time they were unable to locate
the thieves. One day posse of men
traced the stolen horses to the farm
of an old Frenchman named Luzat-
ter, who in the spring of that year
had rented a farm near that neigh
borhood.
Luzatter was taken to Kickapoo
for trial by Judge Lynch" and the
old Masonic Hall at that place was
used as a court house. S. D. D.
Smith, who now lives at Atchison,
was appointed to defend Luzatter,
but Notwithstanding his plea for the
life of the man the neighbors decided
to hang the Frenchman unless he told
who composed the gang of thieves.
This he refused to do, and rope was
procured, put around his neck, and
the body lifted from the floor. After
the first pull the Frenchman told who
the thieves were and he was released.
A committee was appointed by the
court to pursue the thieves and dis
pose of them.
The committee was gone week,
and when it returned all questions
as to what it did with the thieves
were met with silence. Mount Pleas
ant was never bothered again with
horse thieves.-Potten KanSan.

BUSINESS FAST EXPANDING.
Interesting Report About Manufac-
turing in this State.

Columbia, Dec. 1.-THE compila-
ton of the figures as far as manu-
featuring in the State, conducted un-
der and by authority of the State,
independent of private enterprises
and concerns, has just been COM
pleted, and below is given in con-
densed form the interesting infor-
nation resulting from the compila-
ton. The years industrial progress
as revealed by the figures, has been
most marked. For all concerns IN
the State, including mercantile and
all other establishments, which have
obtained charters during the year,
and have started in business, the
total capital involved is 0,200,725,
while there have been increases of
capital stock of existing corporations
amounting to s6,267,70O. In addi-
ton to this commissions have been
obtained by corporations represent
ing a capital of s13,710,225. These
figures show that practically s16,-
100000 have been applied to in
dustrial work during the year, and
that at the opening of the new year
practically s14,O00,00O additional
capital will be employed in industrial
and commercial endeavor in the
State.
1t is interesting to note that nine
teen existing cotton manufacturing
plants in the State have increased
their capital by nearly $4,500,000
during the year 1909, and that two
more textiles, representing a capital
of $325,000 have applied for char
tiers and will soon join in the indus
trial development of the State, MAX
ing totaled increased capitaliza-
ton of textiles during the year of
practically s5,000,000. In addition
to this five new textile plants have
been chartered and have begun
operation during the year, repre-
senting a still further additional
capital of S983,000.
Ten banks in the State, taking no
cognizance of national banks, have
during the year added S355,000 to
their capital. In addition to this
thirteen new banks have been char
tered and begun business during the
year representing capital of S247,-
900, and even new banks are pro-
JSCIGu lOl tuS VI IulS yCdl,
with an additional capital of S145,-
900, the whole banking increase,
without regard to national banks and
private banking concerns, represent
ing a total capitalization of $747,-
900.
In general manufacturing, aside
from textiles, and live stock compan-
les, a number of the latter of which
have been formed during the year,
as shown in the subjoined statement,
concerns have been organized and
put in operation during the year
representing total capital of S4,-
662,600, and there are now in pro-
cess of organization manufacturing
concerns, representing total capital
of S895,250. In addition thereto
there have been increases of capital
in general manufacturing amounting
to $1,4S7,700, or, in other words, in
general manufacturing in the State,
omitting textile banks and live stock
companies, the capital projected and
actually put into these concerns dur
ing the year amounts to the splen-
did figure of $7,045,550, every dol
lar of which is now being employed
with the exception of the s895,250
referred to above.

Rabbit Answers Prayer.

Having gone through the hunting
season without tasting a rabbit stew,
of which she is particularly fond,
Mrs. Mary Coleman, of Morgantown,
near here, Thursday prayed that her
appetite for rabbit might be ap-
peased, and as she has great faith in
prayer she waited hopefully all morn
ing for some hunter friend to bring
one.
At dinner time the rabbit had not
come, and she went into the cellar
for potatoes. In the potato bin sat a
rabbit, too frightened to run, and one
blow with a stick killed it. Mrs.
Coleman says she never ate a better
stew.-Nanticoke, Pa, dispatch to

Unknown Man Kills Himself.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec, H.
Using a pistol, an unknown man,
neatly dressed, about IS years of age
and a hunchback, committed suicide
by shooting himself through the
head this afternoon on First avenue,
north. A magazine lay by his side,
opened at page on which was the
following marked paragraph:
"The unwritten code governed his
decisions, all offenses had a common
penalty-death.'
The article was entitled "A Self
Constituted Executioner." The sui
eide was well dressed. In his hat
and on his linen were the initial "A.
J. O."
In the inside pocket of coat was
the name 81. S. Osborne" and marks
showing the garment was made in
Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Police Hold Husband.

Savannah, Ca, Dec 11.-State-
ments of Mrs. Maggie Hunter, only
survivor of the three women who
were attacked, and two of them kill
ed, in their home here yesterday af-
ternoon, made in her delirium at the
Savannah hospital, where she hov-
ers between life and death, caused
the rearrest Of her husband, j. C.
Hunter, to-day. Listening physi-
clans and nurses who have hoped to
catch definite clue to the perpetra-
tor Of the crimes which caused the
deaths, in terrible fashion, of aged
Mrs. Eliza Gribble and her daughter,
heard Mrs. Hunter say that her hus-
band had struck her. The police
were Immediately notified and Hunt
er was quickly found and taken in
custody. However the police have
placed no charge against him.
Despite this statement, made in the
injured woman's delirious babbling,
few believe that any one is guilty of
the crimes except the negro man, now
missing, who was seen to enter the
house about the time of the murders,
with an axe in his hand, and to leave
the building later.
The search for the negro has not
abated, yet he seems to have disap-
peared as if swallowed up by the
earth. To aid the search for the
murderer, Gov. Brown, of Georgia,
to-day added $500 to the reward al
ready offered, making the total now
81, 800.
Late this afternoon, a double fu-
neral was held with every mark Of
the city's sorrow at the taking off Of
the victims and horror at the brutal
ity of their murder. AS evidence of
the feeling here, the crowds that were
attracted to the scene of the crime re-
spectfully stood back, and the two
caskets were attended by but few
relatives of the slain women as they
were taken to the graves.
