MENTIONS APPLE STORY

1t is generally understood that it
was at Woolsthrope, in 1866, that
Newton's thoughts were first directed
to the subject of gravity, says the
New York American. Voltaire is
authority for the statement that it
was the sight of the falling apple
that led the great man to thinking
on the matter which finally made him
forever famous.
Voltaire got his story from New
tons neice. How much truth there
may be in what is a plausible and
favorite story can, of course. never
be known, but it is certain that ira
dition marked a tree in the Woods
thrope garden as that from which the
apple fell, till the year 1920, when the
tree was cut down and it's wood care
fully preserved.

CANAL
AND HAWAII NEI
New England rGocer:

The effect Of the opening Of the
Panama canal route should be in u
general way to increase the commerce
between Boston and the Pacific coast
and the Pacific Islands. 1t will bring
Hawaii into closer touch with Bos-
ton, for Boston has a greater interest
in every way in the Hawaiian ISL
ands than any other city or any 9TH
er section of the country. The Ha-
waiian Islands were first really made
known to the world, or to the New
England people, by American seamen
and American captains and bv New
England missionaries. After the ISL
ands were discovered by Captain Cook
they remained unknown to the world
until they were brought under the in
fiuence of New England commerce.
Many New Englanders went to Ha-
wall, or, as they were known in those
days, the Sandwich Islands, and set.
| tied there, and Boston families MAJ,
ried into the royal family of the Ha-
waiian Islands. As we have said, New
England trade and commerce with
the Hawaiian Islands is very large
and is mostly centered in Boston
With the direct water route and the
cutting down of freight rates, a de-
cided impetus in Boston and Pacific
trade should be the result. Every
/ advantage accruing from the opening
of the Panama canal route will mean
more ships, greater demands upon the
port of Boston, compelling more har-
Dor development and a general up
building of the port to something like
the ideal which the Boston Chamber
, of Commerce has been fostering.

COTTON HISTORY.

Prior to the middle of the eighteenth
century cotton, so far as modern time
is concerned, was practically un'
known, says the New York American.
It was grown only in the flower gar
den. When eight bags Of the staple
arrived in Liverpool in 1884 the GUS
tom house officers seized it on the
ground that so much could not have
been raised in America.
In 1884 our first cotton mill was set
in motion at Beverly, Mass. In 1898
Whitney invented the cotton GIN
which rendered cotton raising profit
able, and it soon became the leading
crop of the South
The southern United States produn-
es most of the cotton of the world
and will in all probability continue
for all time to hold a monopoly of the
staple.

BRIBERY CHARGES
AGAIN come UP
George Creel's Article In Cosmopolitan
Magazine Cause Action BY The
Legislature.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 6.-Mississip-
pi's recent senatorial campaign was
injected into the legislative proceed
ings this morning when Speaker H.
M. Street, surrendering the chair,
took the floor and presented a resolu-
ton, reciting the fact that general
charges of bribery have been made
against the legislature, without nam
ing the members bribed, and as such
charges are a reflection on every men,
ber of the Legislature, that the Gov
ernor be requested to submit to the
Legislature for consideration a law
granting immunity to each and every
person who will come forward and
testify to any case of bribery.
The presentation of the resolution
brought vividly forward all the
charges and counter-charges of the
recent campaign, and while not spe-
cifically enumerated, had reference to
an article by George Creel, in the No
vember issue of the Cosmopolitan
magazine.
The Vardaman leaders in the House
were instantly in action with objec-
tions, among those opposing its adop-
ton being Messrs. Burkitt, Broyles
and Stennis. The ayes and nays
were demanded, and the resolution
adopted by vote of 81 to SO, or prac-
tically a strict factional alignment.

New York, Nov. Ga cable from

The London Standard prints the fol

The news of this is said to have been

"The attacking party consisted of
500 Turks and 10000 Arabs, selected
from the most warlike tribes. 1t was
