That Fort Wayne should be aband-

city preferably in Oakland county. Is
the view OF Capt b. II. Dorcy, of the
Thirteenth cavalry military instructor

but there are doubtless other places
that would serve as we'll In Oakland

Detroit would not lose by the trans

fiux to the city from the new fort.
The officers would come in to make
their purchases and the men would
come here for their amusements. even
more so, as Oakland county Is dry
"A modern military post must have
plenty OF ground. Fort Wayne Is use
less for the minor tactics which must
be taught troops. There is no oppor-
tunity for maneuvers there. Wher-
ever the post would be moved there
would undoubtedly be electric car

Capt. Dorcy believes that the mill

been instituted since the Spanish wal

He looks forward to the coming camp
In Ludington as one which will prove

Here is the way the papers
will write up weddings ten years
hence: The bride looked very
well in travelling dress, but all
eyes were centered upon the
groom. He wore a dark suit that
fitted his form perfectly and in his
dainty gloved hands he carried a
small rose. His curly hair was
beautifully done, and a delicate
odor of hair oil of the best quality
floated down the aisle as he pass
ed. The young people will miss
him now that he is married. He
is loved by all for his many accom-
plishments, his tender grace and
his winning ways. The bride
commands good salary as book
keeper and the groom will miss
none of the luxuries to which he
has been accustomed. A crowd
of pretty men saw him off at the
depot.

words, put new life into the man
ufacturers and thev returned
home and went to work with re-
newed energy. In the face of
present conditions the position as
sumed by southern manufacturers
is without justification. European
spinners are buying heavily and
cotton is being rushed to Liver
pool as fast as the steamships can
carry it. New England is not
holding meetings and bowling
over the high price of cotton, but
is buying every bale it can get its
hands on at present prices. If
the southern manufacturer can't
compete with the New England
and European manufacturer the
fault cannot be attributed to the
high price of cotton; there is
something wrong with the man.

The cotton crop is shorter than
it has been in years and the sec
ond ginner's report, issued on
Monday, was decidedly "bullish/
but the price of cotton did not ad-
vance but rs points in New York.
If the condition had been revers-
ed cotton would have dropped 100
points. The bears are making a
strong fight on the market, but
for once in their lives the farmers
have the situation in hand and
they ought to hold it. When the
south sells enough cotton to pay
its debts it will be independent
and the surplus cotton ought to be
stored in bonded warehouses and
kept there until the price reaches
Is cents per pound. The Herald
has never believed in Is cents cot
ton but everything points so strong
1y to a higher price for the staple
that it firmly believes cotton will
reach the IS cents notch before
January 1st. The farmers of the
south will make mistake to, sell
more than enough cotton to nay
their debts. They ought to make
the most of this opportunity to
force the price of the staple to a
new high level.

Southern spinners are unnecces-
sarily alarmed over the high price
of cotton and the low price of
yarn. Several years ago when
the mill situation was so acute the
spinners held a meeting in Char
lotte to discuss ways and means
of putting the price of the raw
material and the manufactured ar
ticle further apart. After several
pessimists had addressed tn e
meeting and declared that bank
ruptcy was staring every southern
cotton mill in the face, ID. A.
Torapkins said he was not afraid
to invest money in southern mill
stocks as long as bale of cotton

A gold chain and locket which
were lost in Buckingham a few
days ago were recovered IN a sim
gular manner. A gentleman and
his wife, to whom the articles
belonged, lost them during walk.
Several days after what seemed to
be the chain and locket were seen
hanging upon a telephone wire.
A ladder was obtained, and as
there was nothing O rest it
against some men held it a per-
pendicular position while the
lady's husband ascended and un-
wound the chain from the wire.
The find proved to, be the lost
treasure. The theory is that the
articles were picked up by jack
daw which alighted cn the tele-
phone wire and that the wind
caused the chain to swing until It
became wound around the wire.

Speaking of the death of Ex-
Governor McSweeney the Gaffney
Ledger says: He arose from
obscurity to a position of honor
through chain of circumstances,
and acquired a comfortable COM
petence through industry" But
then are not all of us, more or
less, creatures of circumstances?
Scores of good presidents are
pouring over ledger< and account
books, and thousands of men of
executive ability are moulding
and shaping steel bars in machine
shops. Tillman will go down in
history as great man, but is it
not possible that Tillman would
have remained in obscurity if a
spirit of unrest had not seized the
masses of the people just about the
time Tillman made his appearance
in the political arena? The time
will come when Roosevelt name
will adorn the pages of history,
but the world might have never
heard of Roosevelt if it had not
been for the Spanish-American
war, while on the other hand the
map of Europe would have re-
mained unchanged had Napolean
been born 40 years earlier. Look
at tie lives of nearly all the great
statesman and warriors whose
names are linked with the history
of the world and it will be found
that some great political upheaval
brought them into prominence.
And so does that irresistible
something that moulds-and shapes
the lives of men go right on down
to the humber walks of life.

The cotton manufacturers are
worried because the price, of yarns

THIRD HOUSE BILL MOI

Stock.
The third house, satirical body
created for the purpose of amuse-
ment, Presented the following satire
on senate bill Ill, known as the
game bill and is considered by many
to be more practical than the origi-
nal bill:
For an act entitled an act pro.
viding for the appointment of a
prairie chicken inspector; defining
his duties and prescribing rules and
regulations for the building of nests
and the laying Of eggs.
Sec. l. There is hereby appoint.
ed a prairie chicken inspector,
whose duty it shall be to enforce
the provisions of this act.
Sec. 2. 1t shall be unlawful for
any hen prairie chicken, pennated
grouse, snipe, hcot owl or other
game bird, including the crow and
shitepoke, to lay or cause to be laid
any egg. eggs, or any part OF an egg
or any object purportiug to be an
egg, orsto assume any position that
would lead or induce any person or
persons to believe that such bird or
birds were contemplating the laying
or depositing of such egg or eggs,
without first receiving permission
from the prairie chicken inspector.
Sec. 3. No bird, birds, or part
OF birds, shall make, build, construct
or cause to be made, built, or con-
structed, any nest, nests, or other
receptacle in which eggs may be laid
or caused to be laid, without first
submitting the plans and specifca-
tions of such nest, nests, or other
receptacle in which eggs may be
laid, tossthe aforesaid prairie chicken
inspector.
Sec. 4. Any bird, birds, or part
of BIRDS violating the provisions of
this act shall be amended by strik-
ing out the enacting clause and
inserting in lieu thereof senate bill

The druggists seem to have bet

the saloons. The bill prohibiting
druggists from selling beer was
indefinitely postponed by the house.
After devoting several weeks to
passing the anti railroad bills, the
Legislature is beginning to hedge.
The senate killed the reciprocal
demurrage bill which was calcu-
lated to make the railroads furnish
cars to move the crop when neces
sary.
One good bill passed at this ses-
sion is the anti cigarette bill which
was very much needed for the pro-

them because the superstition is that
men know better than to do 30.
The Legislature are hard on the
saloons. After passing the anti
treating bill they killed the bill
limiting the number Of saloons in q
town, probably on the theory that if
a town got enough saloons they
would all 60 out of business. 1t
would undoubtedly have been better
to cut down the number of saloons
SO that the saloonkeepers would not
have to violate the law TO make the
the business pay.

ing bill for several weeks the legis-
lature has at last passed the bill.
