Clarkdale, MIsb., Feb. 12?Through the shipment of 5,000 baleB low grade cotton to Hamburg, on a contract for 1 50,000 bales, a plan has been disclosed here by which, in belief of its promoters, American shippers can combine in groups to solve for themselves the prohlem of exporting thoir excesg stocks, with the result that the ocean carrying trade will revive from its present drooping condition, home producers can cash in their holdings and industrial depression and non-employment will find quick relief. Cotton growers have set out to help themselveg through their organisation. the Mississippi Delta Export and Trading Company. They shipped d.uvu oaies last Saturday from Gulfport on. the Maidencreek, a government owned craft. Their agent in Hamburg to receive it and has arranged to place it among mills in Central Europe, under toll contracts, the mills to receive a portion of raw cotton and to deliver finished goods in payment. Contracts for Cash Sales. Contracts have been made with foreign distributors for the cash purchase of th? finished goods from the agent at moderate prices, but sufficient to psy the planters well for their cotton and leave a margin for company expenses. The next step hereabouts will be to atMre ultimate delivery, from stocks no*? la hand, of the 50.000 bales, which iixe Ameriean agent in Hamburg has engaged to distribute among European mills. Already 25,000 bales bare been pledged. The company is planning to ship 10,000 bales monthly for the next four months and then to make a last shipment of 5,000. - o WASTED MONEY. The new Governor of North Carolina, Mr. Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, has announced that he is in faror of millions for hard surface roads, but not a penny for the sandclay variety. We agree with him. Cherokee county has spent more than half a million dollars for the sand-clay or top-soil road. It is conceded that we got the best that was to be had, but the fact remains that we virtually wasted half a million dollars experimenting. Hereafter, whatever money is spent on road building in this county should be put in the more durable hard surface road.?Gaffnev I.edsrer o SCENT TOO STRONG. Greenville, Feb. 11?A large whiskey distillery together with a quantity of whiskey, was captured by local polloemen at the home of George Hall 6n West Earl? Street, in a prominent residential section of the city. Two automobiles were confiscated and four men were arrested. The still was located in a dugout ten feet under the ground. It is stated the pipes. were so constructed as to pour the liquor into a bath tub. When the officers approached a woman lumped into the tub and splashed around but the scent of the moonshine was too strong. BOOM FOR SWEET POTATOES. Washington, Feb. 8?A sweet potato syrup plant is to be established by the government at Fitsgerald, Ga. Under a laboratory process worked out and planted for the public by Dr. H. C. Gore, bureau of chemistry, the commercial possioiuues in manufacture of a fine, brown "highly palatable" syrup from a heretofore waate product are to be exploited, according to announcement tonight by the agricultural department. "Many persona think It equal to first class can* syrup," the statement aald of the sweet potato product. Fitsgerald was selected because a building was urallable and also because it has already a sweet potato! curing and storing establishment. Equipment will be shipped from Washington for the syrup plant and the department says It can make no recommendations for commercial manufacture without comparative cost data to be obtained from the experiment mil). The chi.nce for developing a new industry Is held to be good, however, as much of the ) sweet potato crop of the south has been wasted in the past. The Project is the first to be undertaken in the way of semi-commerj ;; ctal plants by the new bureau of development in the department of agriculture. With hides so cheap, about the only Mod resist (or shinning an animal is to git at the beef.

Unless we are greatly deceived, for which we have not the least apprehension, (having had some acquaintance with Cotton machines,) this improvement promisee extensive advantages, particularly while cotton in square bales continues to bear a higher price than round bales, as has uniformly been the case. The proprietor, we understand, wtlt apply for a patent. We hope his inventive Industry may be encouraged and suitably rewarded. (Montgomery Rep.) o LATEST AERIAL PROPHECY. Inventor Predicts Paris to New York In Eight Hours, Paris, Feb. 12?Paris to New York in eight hours is the latest aerial prophecy. It is made by Marquis Paterae Pescara, a French born subject of Spain, who has perfected a device for aerial navigation which by means of helices rotating at terrific speed he asserts will enable an airplane to hover in the air as well as fly at a great pace. He has just closed a deal with the French government to deliver a large number of his flying machines, providing tests in Barcelona earlv next month nrnv? as successful as wer? the initial trials wben Marquis Pescara arose vertically to a great height and without difficulty landed within a few fee t of a chosen spot. Marquis Pesoara said that in building the airplane of the future, wing space would not be taken Into account, since selices placed above and below the body of the flying craft would be sufficient to lift perpendicularly to the higher altitudes heavy machines with heavy motors capable of developing a speed of four hundred miles an hour and also keep the plane in a fixed position when desired.

Many of the poor people of Budapst, Hungary, are being driven to wholesale thievery by the fuel shortage. Th? recent theft of H esrleads of wood from one train of 100 carload,, tig It entered the city shows the extent to which the stealing is going oa. Wood is so scarce that when a wagon load is driven through the streets people stop to gaxe after it until it Is out of sight. Daring small bojrB are ever on the alert for a stray piece of wood or anything that will give heat at home. They scamper after every passing wood wagon but are soon frightened away by long whips in th? hands of two women who alt on guard astride the load. The operation of unloading a ton of Hungary's inferior brown coal before a house attractg many neighbors who make a pathetic picture as they watch basketfull after basketfull disappear Into the coal bin of the more fortunate one. Because of the urgency to obtain fuel, by dishonest means, If honest ones are of no avail, the Juvenile courts were never go crowded with youthful offenders. The scarcity of fuel arises more acute dally as winter advances. The street railway service has been sharp iy curtailed ana people wait tor hours exposed to the bitter cold. The worst operated American street car never tolerated such crowding. o The value of Alaska's salmon produe t? in on* year is seven and a half times the original purchase price of that territory. . - Do mou know V you canroB 1 50 rtood a, C CHflrniN tor, lOcts from on* bag of VSSr W) M^m.
