The coal fields of Virginia will be brought nearer to Atlanta and the entire southeastern territory and the transportation of fuel from this section will be greatly facilitated in a few months by the completion of the new line of the* Virginia and Southwestern Railway, extending 47 miles from Moccasin Gap.Va., to Jiu'laGap.Tenn., where connection is made with the main liue of the Southern Railway. The construction of this line has now reached a point where the Comp?ny hopes to have it in operation in a short lime. This line is being built on favorable grades owing to Ihe fact tbat it is localed in the valley of ibe Holston river thus avoiding ibe heavy irrarles between Moccasin Gap an<1 BrMol. This new Hue will also furnii-b railroad fervice to a territory rich in its agricultural resourc s which has heretofore lacked this very important facility.

The State Bureau, 12 Post Building, " ,a"f * Washington, S. C. Representative Wyatt Aiken gave the sout Hon. Howland of Ohio a sharp call down pros in the house a day or two ago, about the busj charge against the South Carolina delega- fiejd tion,with respect to the tariff on tea. Ever ^on since Senator Tillman advocated in the co^ Senate a protective duty on tea and urged g qoc an amendment to the tariff bill putting a'n(} this duty on tea in order to protect Dr. |esg Shepherd's tea farm at Suminerville, ?6n( charges have been made by various Republicans that the Democrats of South Car- j.() jj olina have turned protectionists. Mr. cot^ Howland a representative in the house noj from Ohio, reiterated this in a speech on Qen the floor the other day: He would not e^0I allow himself to be interrupted at the ^e time, but the nest day Mr. Aiken was DOjn making a speech on the subject of cotton futures in which he took note of Howlands charge and denounced it as a falsehood. uav( It was rather unparlimentary language, but so far Mr. Howland has not made reply or complaint. absolute falsehood. &m0 Mr. Aiken began, his speech with the jens following: spec "Mr.Chairman: Today when the gen- patt tleman from Ohio, Mr. Howland, made his for o+n+arj frhnt- hin knilth carolina avnh iiv OW?WU v*.v> K-v. -... ? VAVI delegation in this house was in favor of a the protective duty on tea. He refused to be er si interrupted and I did not attempt to in- "bet terrupthim, but I want to denounce that 0vei statement as an absolute falsehood. There ;n t is not a word of truth in it, as I am posi- bale tive.that no member of the South {Carolina hav< delegation of the house favors any duty on bou, tea at all. It Is a fact that the only tea cr0r farm in the United States is located in the maE State of South Carolina, but none of us, thai certainly in this body, has asked that their cr0p product be protected to any extent." gooi The immediate subject of this speech, thej not heretofore reported, because there Cc were nine speeches that same day, which -witt the press reports did not cover, was the uni( cotton prosecutions. And Mr. Aiken Bpoke shoi most vigorously in denunciation of the pire attorney general which he said bad come the to the aid of the cotton bears in a tight to si time. He said that the people had been his I crying out against the burdens imposed "Po by the tariff law, against the monopoly of befc the meat, the sugar, the flour ana other ^tl necessaries of life, and asked what was trad the answer. "The Government'" said he, chai "has held the subjects. while the robbers not skinned them, and it has taken a part of trac the spoils in campaign contributions. The 6ha< Southern farmer must pay 200 per cent, for i profit on his plows, 100 per ccnt, on his houi corn and flour, 300 per cent, on his meat, deir and when he asks a fair price for his cot- beai ton, the attorney general of the govern- erai ment, his 'government, steps in an says jn h "No". Can it be possible that the attor- j^a ney general has taken a sectional view of jnv< this matter?' I will not charge; I prefer thai to think otherwise, ana yet now eise can aup his conduct be explained." com A LONG SEARCH. Telling the story of the preacher, who, \V when he denounced various denominations the in his pulpit was told that in each case he oth< was losing contributions from the basket, rigi and who, when he asked in desperation Twc whom he could denounce, was told to de- the nounce the Jews, not one of whom was in and tlie con grt gat ion, Mr. Aiken said that the to department of justice was fpllowing the Pay same advice given the preacher of denoun- on dug those who do not contribute to the put Repuplican campaign fund. Said he: The "The attomey general and his party stee have heard of the bread riots throughout fror the north; they have heard the mutter- havings of hundreds of thousands of laboring A people who were forced to abstain from the hun use of meat. But the meat and the fiour resi barons threw into the Republican hat. era! In desperation, the whole horoscope of adn commodities was searched in quest of one nea that had no claims on the good old party bari and at least, happy thought, they fpund it Gov down south, in cotton." spoi Mr. Aiken said that he was frank to say soul he did not know whether it would be wise prol or not to break up the cotton exchange con entirely. He rather inclined, he believed and to a proper regulation of them so as to ton eljpiinate the professional gambling feat- mer ure. But it is high time for congress to "Nc take a hand ip the regulation of these ney exchanges. thie Zach McGhee. to t his -* * m- .

Is it possible the. distinguished and so learped e persop has overlooked the fact that there an sets of manipulators operating on tin liange? If tjie little bull pool does exist ich would not succeed so lata in tin sop except where the statistical posi II warranted it, then what of the sins o thftbefwa thatjstronger element who for more than thirty years, almost uninterrupted, have dominated the oxohange? I must admit frankly that I do not know . whether or not It would be of advantage to ' the producer to abolish all cotton exchan- ? ges. I am rather of the opinion that the ] i. exchar ges, pruned of the ranker features , of gambling, stand as barriers between thi , | the manufacturers and the producers. A thj i1 combination of the mill with no intermei' diato buyers might bring about a condi- "is . tion similiar to that which has ruined tlie 001 . I tobacco pioduccr. There is no tobacco ox1 _e i' change, and when one giant trust had b. i! driven out all smaller competitors, the to- ?* i j baeco producer was left at the mercy of lie ; j the trust. The sequel is found in the riot n0 (land lawlessness that has swept over the .. ; State of Kentucky. tn' i But it is iime for Congress to take a lie [ hand in the oonduct of these exchanges. A tie i law should be passed requiring that every i transaction on tho exchanges be based . either on cotton in hand or on bona lide ra contracts made with producers. The law mi ; should require that nothing but middling 0f I cotton be kept in stock by the exchanges . . for tender on contracts, and the "dog-tail" J , stuff now kept for tender should be dis- th i posed of. If there is not sufficient scope Cfl . under interstate-commerce law to justify l the correction of these evils, then I would t i certainly favor a statute to that end. "n [ The act of the Attorney-General in giv- de j ing countenance to these men who have ^ \ grpwn ricn oil mo nubiuruine ui uiw piu\ ducer can not be too severely condemned, w , In ordinary business affairs the man who sa , sells something that he does not possess jjc , is considered guilty of fraud. Down in ? , our part of the country, where we have ! not learned to make line distinctions, such Wi i characters shun the law rather than in pr . voke it. If they may depress the marked ^ j by bogus sales and then rely on the great ~~ j arm of the Government to protect them th< against delivery, they can, Indeed, fix the thi price of cotton to suit their pleasure. De It Is only in return for exports that the v real wealth of a nation is increased. Val- ^ ues may become inflated at home, but mi every dollar that I pocket by reason of be the sale bt my land at an advanced price ? comes out of the pocket of my neighbor , Any proceeding, then, by a citizen of the J United States, and especially of an officer, on to depress her greatest export is little w] short of criminal. To say that the Attor- . ney-General has knowingly done this thing is to reflect on his intergrity. To el| say that be has duped into so inconistent a position is to question his judgement, and hence to question his fitness for 30 |N responsible a position. I believe that I have interpreted the facts fairly, and if I Jt have, they force us to one or the other , conclusion. [Applause on the Democratic I -1.1- 1 LI, | aiue.j n, , ? L. i Feeding Beef Cattle. ! I Can we, with economy, feed beef cattle tli ; in this state? Can we feed cattle for pa [ market, and at least get the manure for gr< I our trouble? Can we feed beeves at a ? ? ? profit? pa | We are often asked these questions and a w] . brief summary of results of feeding a lot m s of about thirty may be of interest as by ^ ' this means we can Dresent facts and not guess work. ^ This lot we began to feed on November ^ 13, and It consisted of a mixed bunch of Qn steers and heifers, neatly half of each. ^ By February 2G they had gained &396 lbs., or a gain of 213 lbs. each, averaging a little more than 14 1-2 lbs. per head per week. \ in This, as any feeder knows, is a very ve good gain, and was particularly good In pg this instance, as they were a mixed lot of co mountain cattle, obtained locally, and of a ai rather low average in quality. w] In this time they consumed 105600 lbs. > silage and 211621-2 lbs. cotton seed meal, nc or an average of 37 lbs. silage and 7 1-2 ^ lbs. meal per head per day. cv If silage is valued at $3 per ton, and wj meal at $30 per ton, then these steers cost ^ to feed at a rate of 17 1-4 cents per day. ve To offset the cost of the feed, we obtained j,j the gain of 14 8-65 lbs. per week, the ma- gq nure, and the increase of value to the aE whole animal that comes from the added ai] flesh. he In some sections it is expected to sell tne animal for at least one cent per pound ^ t more when rattenea man uiey ix/su nucu gg - thin. Using these figures, let us see how ac our account would stand. r Silage consumed in the 15 weeks, _ at $3 per ton $ 153 00 Meal for same time at $30 per ton 315 00 Total cost of feed 473 00 p. Weight at start was 22850 lbs. At three and a half cents per pound, the amount ( would be $709.75. 287^6 lbs. at 04 1-2 per lb, $1293 00 J7 From this take cost 799 75 ? tn Balance 493 42 ?5 Cost of food as above 473 oo tn OS Selling price above all cost 20 42 j Selling price is only &n estimate as the above cattle were for our own use hence , not'sold, but the lesgon remains, just the Sara6- K Undpr favorable circumstances this in- ?

The silage too, may usually be grown for les6 than $3 per ton, and in that , case it would be so jnuch to the advantage of the feeder. The foregoing shows that this industry may be profitable as an aid in building up the farjn, but we must present the following cautions, and would suggest the deslrability of fattening only a few, say a car , Iqt, the first tipie, and let the business ^ grow as one becomes accustomed to all the conditions to be piet. ^ If cattle are brought from a distance, study the freight rates and see if that ^ may prohibit the enterprise. . In buying be careful they are not ^ weighed Just after receiving food and , water. ca liearn if the market in which you wish go to sell, will take heifers, or if it pays better for steers, and act accordingly. , If heifers are bought, get spayed ones if yo possible, or if not, then such as are not bred, or at least, that are not too far advanced in pregnancy. Q0 Buy local cattle If possible and save not f only freight, but the shrinkage caused by ^ shipping, these often being very serious q0 drawbacks to the en terprise. Do not feed too long, but yet enough to satisfy the market.. When cattle are nearly finished, the cost of gain is much ^ increased Buy as ate in season as is en possible and sell on the markets before ^ ? I early lambs and gl ass fed animals are offered.

Foreigners of all nations, as well as a Venezuelans, have contributed to istro's European bank deposits. !ter four years of exploitation the sceiver" of the New York an<LBermuz company's asphalt property turned to the Venezuelan treasury only $8,0 as the net proceeds of four years' les, amounting to about half a mll>n dollars at the mine.

'Many of the prominent men of the ne began their careers u the comratlvely humble calling of the teleaph operator," says Leslie's Weekly. >ne of the most successful of these is itrick Bernard Delany of New York, iose Inventions in Improving teleg phy have attracted worldwide atten .n Rnrn in Ireland. Mr. Delany was ought to this country when a lad, heme an excellent telegraph operator at b age of sixteen and at eighteen was ,e of the most expert press operators the land. Afterward he rose to high sltlons In various telegraph compa58 and later was associated with r. Edison in rapid telegraphy experlents and began his work as an lnntor He devised the famous 'antlige relay,' for which he received a nslderable sum, and Invented the itl-lnductlon cable, the patents of tilch netted him over $100,000. Turning his attention to synchrous multiplex telegraphy, be perfecta system whereby six Morse clrilts were obtained from a single ire and was awarded for It the shest p?lze at the International Inntlons exhibition In London in 1885. r. Delany tjventy-one years ago nipped a laboratory at South Orige, N. J., and devoted his time to itomatlc rapid telegraphy, in which > has had great success, his apparas transmitting a thousand words a Inute over a single wire. This la rerded by experts as one of the greatest hlevements In the telegraphic line." EMANDS FIRM POLICY TOWARD SOUTH AMERICA. ea Pop the Protection of American Interests South of the Caribbean. "Xf the new 'temple pf peace,' the 60,000 building for the international reau of American republics, of which e cornerstone was laid In April. Is t to be a memorial to the ruin of llted States Interests In a number of ese republics, our government must tabllsh a reputation for firmness tien these Interests are attacked," ys a writer In the Pan-American. 'With the completion of the Isthmian nal these Interests, which are alady estimated at a valuation of ,000,000,000, will be largely Increased, policy as Just as It Is unyielding len necessity requires will mean the lvatlon of existing Investments and e protection of the investor of the ture. The fact that a definite remedy Is quired was Impressed anew upon tne llted States by the unsuccessful efrt on the part of the state departant to secure arbitration of five long ndtng American claims against Venuela. The merits of these particular case^ not, however, the question of immeate Importance. This question Is, hat effect must be expected from a llcy which Involves the abandonant of citizens whose wrongs have en declared to the world? If redress not to be exacted for fhese wrongs, lat fate can other despoiled Amerln citizens expect In Central and uth America when menaced by unrupulous governments? The definite remedy demanded lnlves no more than the assertion of a llcy of Insisting upon prompt and orough redress of Injuries. It would t be difficult for the United States to tablish such a reputation for protectZ the Interests of Its citizens In >uth America that these Interests >uld rarely be attacked.

'"CRILLS" TH?"VIVIOT^T s Advocate? of Regulating Animal gx< perimenta Ask Operators Some Pertinent Questions. Protesting against attempts to misrepresent the nttitude of the Society For the Prevention of Abuse In Animal Experimentation, Mr. F. P. Bellamy, counsel for the society, denies that It ever proposed the prohibition of vivisection. The society stands, he says, upon precisely the platform where Herbert Spencer, the greatest of English scientists, stood when in 1895 he, with nearly 200 of the most j prominent physicians in England and j in this country, signed a statement in j which he said: 1 "We believe, therefore, that the ] common interests of humanity and * science demand that vivisection, like i the study of human anatomy in the ] dissecting room, should bo brought un- 1 der the direct supervision and control . of the state: The practice, whether In public or in private, should be restrict- 1 ed by law to certain definite objects . and surrounded by every possible safe- t guard against license or abuse." i Mr. Bellamy insists that these questions call for a .frank answer from those who oppose any such safe- 1 guards: * , ' Queries For the Doctors. I How can legitimate scientific work ] by competent men be injured by a law mfiirtVi will limit nil vivisection to jom- i petent persons? How can legitimate scientific work | be Injured by a law which will compel the use of anaesthetics In all cases j where the success of the experiment does not make the use of anaesthetics I Impracticable? - j If our proposed legislation does not fully protect legitimate scientific work, < why do not our opponents who criti- 1 else it accept our often repeated lnvl- | tation and suggest some amendment I which will fully protect scientific re- ' search? i . Why the secrecy with which vivisec- ' tlon is surrounded? Has the disem- j boweling of living animals, in order to experiment with thei* vital organs, or the amputation of limbs from one animal and attaching them to another 1 become so painless that the public ( has no interest to know what effort is made to save unnecessary suffering? '' Or Is the brutality of the whole thing so hideous or so unnecessary I that the oDerators do not dare to let in the light of Investigation upon It? , We again challenge them to open the doors of their star chamber labora- ' torles and let the truth be known. In no other way can they quiet the pub- | Uc apprehension or avert the legislation of which they have such dread. PIONEER AMERICAN LINEN MILLS BRANCHING OUT. , Huge Plant Now Planned Made Necet- ' sary by One Year's Development of New Industry. 1 Impressive evidence of the progress of the pioneer American Linen mills established at North Brookfleld, Mass., about a year ago Is found in the plans just completed for extending the plant Beginning with limited capacity in a mill that had to be adapted by degrees to the requirements of the Oxford Linen mills, the business has grown to sucb an extent that plans have been drawn for half a dozen new buildings, all larger than the present main mill. The plans call for an addition doable the size of the present main mill, a new stock, storage and shipping building, weave shed, "oxolint" factory, bleach house and fiber preparing house. The two latter buildings will be in the center of a quadrangle formed by the other buildings mentioned. All the buildings will be of re-enforced concrete. The new weave shed is to be a two story building, provided with overhead lighting by means of a saw tooth root containing 875 skylights. The power plant will be located well away from the mill building proper, all the machinery in which will be, electrically operated. A stock Issue of about $165,000 made in connection with the beginning of these extensions was all taken within a week, largely by original shareholders in the mills. The Oxford mill / was the first establishment in the United States to undertakei the manufacture of linen products from fiber' prepared by the Mudge process. This accomplishes In a few hours the work that abroad re?tnantro TnHoHncr frnm yui-reo wuujr ? the extensions to be carried out by the Oxford mills, there seems to be no further reason to question the Immense success of the undertaking. Turbine Fans For American Dreadnoughts. For the forced draft equipment of the United States battleships Delaware and North Dakota twenty-eight turbine fans, each with a capacity of 24,000 cubic feet a minute, have been built at the Troy works of the Sirocco Engineering company. Although only twenty-seven Inches In diameter, the fourteen Sirocco turbine fans to be Installed on each of the United States Dreadnoughts supply 336,000 cubic feet of air every minute to keep the fires roaring under the boilers of these monster war vessels. It is an enormous output for their small size that has led to the adoption of this type of fan on all the principal transatlantic liners, In European navies and now by the United States naval authorities. The fans are built on the same principle as a * A *- *? ? A# a Bream turmas uuu tuusui. u "squirrel cage" drum surrounded by sixty or more narrow blades.
