In a not very distant day we expect to see a cotton mill of 25000 spindle capacity in this county in the Salem section, near Mr. J. F. Cole's on the Al derman railroad; that such a scheme is in contemplation is a fact, which we have obtained from Capt. D. W. Alderman, who as every body knows, has never found the word "failure" in any or his undertakings, and when ever "Old Pa" set his head to do a thing, it is as good as accom plished. Mr. Alderman was in Manning attending court and we -ad a talk with him about bring ing his railroad to this place, his road will run through the finest tobacco belt in the State and we are satisfied if he coulc be in duced to run in here, this town will draw a whole lot of business now going to Florence, Tim monsville and Darlington. Capt. Alderman i ot averse to the id an grees with us, that the r( ould make a good feeder this towm, and he will keep the matter in mind. He then told us of the proposed cotton mill project, and his reasons for desiring to locate it out in the country; when business men are prospecting for a site where a large number of laborers are to be employed, they cannot afford to do the public spirit act, by planting their investment, with out taking into consideration every detail and in the opinioon of Captain Alderman, the place he has in view, puts him where the kind of labor he wants is procurable, the location healthy, and it is away from those attrac tions that often is demoralizing to labor. Then, it is on his line of railroad, and he can, if he so desires found a town of his own, without consulting the whims of other people. He says the nec essary capital for the cotton fac tory is not to hunt, that is now assured, and in all probability work will begin on it some time during next year. -While we would much prefer to see this factory go up on the outskirts of Manning, the spot selected by Captain Alderman is an ideal one, and has all the at tributes of a first class 1cotton mill location; it is in the center of a thickly white population, where wood for fuel is only the cost of gathering. healthy, and where labor can be much better controlled than in a town. We hope there will be no lagging in the scheme, and that the Alder* man cotton mill, and the Alder man railroad to Manning will soon be realized. The right kind of a man is the father of both, schemes, and we feel certain if our local business men will now strike while the iron is hot and offer some inducement, we can get the Alderman road which now passes through the tobacco lands and through this factory villiage, to come here, and we - also bring Captain Wilson's road here which passes through the finests of cotton belts. This matter should be taken hold of now, the town council, and our merchants, and in fact every other business interest should get together and show by a practical demonstation that the people of this town are not like young birds waiting to be fed without an effort to get the feed for themselves. The grand jury made a rec commendation, which we can not see the necessity for; we refer to the indexing of the records. To index the records properly, will cost several hundred dollars and so far as the general public is concerned, it is no benefit; all the benefit we can see, it will make it more convenient for the lawyers to get at the records, and expedite their work in searching, but we doubt exceedingly whether it will lessen their charges. The clerk of court is required by law to index his records, and he does it, now why the necessity to have a separate index? Any man of ordinary intelligence can now go into the clerk of court's office, and from the indexes, he can find any record in that office. If a new index is made, we sup pose it means to have it so ar ranged as to make it, not only alphabetically arranged as it is now, but lexicographically mak ing an additional convenience a luxury at the cost of the tax payers, for a few members of the bar to enjoy. We do not wish to appear cap tious about any matter, but in our opinion there are greater needs for the spending of the people's taxes. It is not abso lutely necessary to have the in dexes arranged lexicographical ly, and the clerk must index his papers alphabetically, we can get along very nicely with our present indexes, but if the mem bers of the bar wish to have things more conveniently ar ranedA then let them employ some one at their own expefnlS to do the work, and each one of them can hae a copy of the in dexcs on their private desks. We disapprove of re-indexing the records at public expense, because it is not a necessity. The jail matter, is one which ap peals to humanity, we need a jail, this is an absolute necessity, and we hope that our represen tatives, who are now free from instructions will devise a plan to build a new jail, without increas ing the present levy: it can be, done. and we hope it will be. Build a decent jail without in creasing the tax levy, and give the people good roads and bridges. and let the index-job for some one alone. STATE OF OHIO. CITY oF TOLEDO. I LUCAS CoUNTY. FaANK J.

Hall's'Familv Pills are the best. If a newspaper or a man in public life, refuses to sneeze whenever a political leader opens his snuff box, the leader's hench men see spooks of treachery, and look about for weapons to destroy such heresy. When the United States was engaged in a way with Spain, the Democratic usurpers,now recognized as lead ers,thought they saw a chance to make a political strike by thwarting the government in its effort to settle the war. These leaders believed if they could prevent the confirmation of the treaty, the republican party would be held responsible for prolonging the war, and it would cause them to lose votes in the elections. Those who believe fealty to country is a higher duty than fealty to party, es pecially when they s refused to longer follow the leaders after the country's flag had been fired on by the enemy, and joined in to give their aid to bringing about the ratification of the treaty were denounced. Their independence was a great disappointment to the political bandits in charge of the party, and they made it a vehicle to de stroy those who thwarted then in their unpatriotic scheme. Party success at cost of coun try bodes no good to the people, and can only inure to the benefit of the politicians and, when pat riotic statesmanship prevented the unholy scheme, all manner of devices were manufactured to prejudice the public mind. In this State, those who believed it was to the country's interest to ratify the treaty were charged with "republicanism," and those who thought the government should swing on to the Philip pine possessions, and build up a new market for southern pro ducts were derisively called "Commercial Democrats," which was impressed upon the mind of the masses as being "republi canism in disguise." There was method in this deception; it is a known fact that in the South anything which has the word "Republican" attached to it, matters not how remote, is odi ous to the masses, and it takes but little to inflame it into passion-'-the professional politi cian knew this, and that is the reason we heard so much about "retublicanism" the past sum mer. it was a deceptive scheme to play to prejudice to advance the political interests of politi cians. We hear minnow-minded politicians prate about "repub licanism" when we know they are as ignorant of a repubiecin principle as a heathen Chinee is of American politics; yet these same men wall hang out at a country store with a jack knife whittling a stick in one hand, and a "chaw" of tobacco in their mouth, and make strenuous ef forts to show how this or that man is not a true Democrat, and cite some remark or article which differed from his political god as proof. The fact of not co inciding with his political leader is clear proof of heresy, and then he proceeds to hurl all the anathamas of a befogged mind at the man who will not yield to what they regard his superior loyalty to party. The day is fast approaching however when this class of po itical snivelers will have little weight: the people are rapidly learning that politicians are working on the Barnum princi ple, that "the people love to be humbugged" and as they realize this,they become more and more anxious to investigate for them selves, and the heeler's day is drawing to a close.

During the Pan-American Fair in BuTalo a certain barroom much ie quented was managed by a nian who considered himself humorists. The fel lowing sign was exhibited on the mirror behind the bar: If Whiskey Interferes With Your Business-Give Up Your Business. Many men who saw this sign appear ed to think it very funny indeed, and tI e owner of the drinking place was ccngratulated on his pretty wit. But unfortunately in that sign there is more of grim than of gay humor. The man who takes to whiskey soon finds that it does interfere with his bus iness, and he finds also that when he lets whiskey interfere with his business n. might as well-Give up his busi noss.* If he doesn't his business will g.ve him up. Business and whiskey do not travel fc.r together. The other day a young iran, apparently with line business p:ospects. was found dead. He had committed suicide. Various explanations were oifered for his despair and self-destruction. He left a letter in which he expressed self approval and the belief that he had been treated unfairly by the world. But the real story was left behind him, easy to read. Beside him there was a pint bottle partly filled with whiskey, and there were other bottles of the same kind in his room empty, although he had the room but a short time. These bottles told that whiskey has interfered with his life, and, tak ing the advice of the barroom mirror. he had given up his life. Two days since an unfortunate woman was found dead in her lonely cabin. She had been kind to animals, to men and wo.nen more unfortunate even than herself. But her life was hideously lonely and sad. She had had friends, wealth and a good chance in life. Kind neighbors explained matters when she was found dead. They tried to explain: why ner friends never saw heralt.hough they sent her money. They tried to explain the miserable, lonely ending, telling stories of early romances, etc. But the story was told more simply than that. Under the dead body there was found a whiskey bottle almost empty, and this fact was made public a6 the inquest. The unhappy woman had lacked food, and the anima'. that she sought to befriend were sta.:ving with her But she had managed some how to get that whiskey, of which she left a little only because she was too weak to lift the flask to her lips. She had sold her clothing to some neighborinz negroes to buy the whis key. It was the same story: whiskey had interfered with h':r life and her friends, and she had given up life and friends, compelled to do so hy whiskey. No names are printed1 here: no names are needed. You read such pieces of nwvs, quickly- told in commonplace lanage, every day. If you read at tentively the gr-ewsome tale of life's tragedies and failures, the suicides and murders, you will usually find the part ly empty whiskey bottle sticking out somewhere in the narrative. In almost every case you find that the unfortunate one has taken the witty saloon owner's advice. "If Whiskey Interferes With your Business-Give Up Your Busi ness." We do not preach or moralize un duly. Mien and women have drunk through all ages. They drink less now than ever, fortunately. Some of them will doubtless continue to drink, as long as hard work, keen competition, unwise living, disappointed hopes and constant temptation to escape life's realities shall continue to make whiskey appar ently a friend. Thie young man wvho killed himself near the half-empty bottle, the sad, abandoned woman who died of hunger in her loneliness and with wh.iskey near her, had probably strong r-xcuses for their weakness and failure. But let their sad ending be r.one the less a lesson to you, young me. Bear in mind that motto oni the bar room mirror, and say to yourself: I shall have no whiskey jokes 1n my ea reer. I'll give up whiskey, and never give it a chance to make me give up my business.

From the West Point (Va.) Plaindealer. To the Members of Union Baptist Church: Dear Brethren:-I have carefully considered all the surroundings in my pastorate here, as well as those in an other State where I have been called as pastor and after prayerful considera tion, believe it to be my duty to resign the pastorate of your church. notwith standing the fact that you have only recently renewed the call for a second time. I have devoted the two years of my life here for what I believed to be for the best interest of old and young. I am grateful for the devotion that has been accorded me, and to the hour of my death will hold in grateful heart the memory of that devotion. The great and principal reason why I resign the pastorate of your church, is not financial. but because three of my chil dren are now away at school, and I feel 1 the need of going where their educa tional advantages will be better than they can ever hope to enjoy should I 1 remain with you. Knowing that you will appreciate my desire to do all in my power for my children, I am sure vou will not blame me for taking this i step. I beg that you accept my resig . nation. You have truly been kind and con siderate of me, and I pray that heaven's richest blessings may rest upon you all. Whenever it is convenient for me, I shall be pleased to mingle with you in6 the church as well as in your homes, which have been always open to me. Yours truly and fraternally, L, D. BASS.
