A THRIFTY TOWN.
Bon Prohibition In Worhlnn In Opelika—The
Burnt lllstrlets Rebuilt nml Business Uooil.
Special Correspondence Enquir«r-Hun.
Opelika. Ala., October 21.—This is a
dry town in almost every sense of the
word. No rain of consequence having
fallen in weeks the dust flies at the slight
est breath of air, Ailing your eyes and
mouth, and after half a day’s tramp
through the streets a man’s complexion is
so changed that if he should take a look In
a glass he would not be quite certain
whether he was a Caucassian or had been
transmogrified into a more swarthy son of
the deserts of Africa.
Opelika is also very dry, so far as the
term has a meaning in regard to the sale of
liquor. Prohibition has worked a great
change. Opelika is no longer an imitator
of the typical western frontier town. The
strife has subsided, nnd the swords have
been beaten in o plowshares, metaphori
cally speaking. Another evidence of the
good that has been wrought by prohibi
tion is the fact that the Jail is compara
tively empty, and the courts have nothing
to do. Circuit court convened last Mon
day week, and the grand jury adjourned
after three days’ session, finding but nine
true bills. Up to last night but five cases
had been before the court, three of which
were dismissed.
Judge Carmichael, formerly state audi
tor, presides over the court with grace
and dignity, and has made quite a favora
ble impression on the people of the county.
Less interest has been manifested in the
court than was ever known before. There
is nobody in attendance but those directly
interested.
Business is improving rapidly. Several
merchants informed me that they are do
ing a much larger business than they ever
did before. Real estate has gone up'somc,
and the towu is well sprinkled with new
buildings. On South Railroad street,
Messrs. H. L. Griffin & Son, Hodge & Hurt
and Mr. Edgar Tucker have commenced
the erection of four or five handsome
stores. These will fill the unsightly gap
made by the devastating fire of a year ago.
Two or three stores are also being erected
on North Railroad street, facing the depot,
which will be a credit to the enterprise of
the owners. On Chambers street Messrs.
Hudmon Bros, have completed a very com
modious two-story building, which they
now occupy. All these buildings are of
brick.
Opelika has had to pass through a fiery
ordeal, but is rapidly replacing the lost
houses, and no sign of the calamity will
exist.
Col. B. H. Keiser, the “old war horse of
democracy,” lost the entire outfit of his
valuable paper, the Times, but has suc
ceeded, by energy and perseverance, in
again establishing himself, and to-day has
one of the best” equipped news and job
offices to be found in the country. His
paper is now issued semi-weekly instead of
weekly. The Colonel is probably the old
est editor in the state, and has built up a
reputation in journalism that may well be
envied.
Hon. W. C. Oates, congressman from
this district, has been in town for a day or
two.
More cotton has been brought here this
season than usual, and the buyers say the
seasons will largely exceed those of any
previous season for years.
News reached here yesterday from Dade-
villeofthe death in that place of Mr.
Tims. C. Wynn, a young uAui.who
was held in great esteem.
A great many people pass through on
the trains daily.
The old established Opelika House is
well patronized, and there are but few
people who travel this way who are not
familiar with the jolly face of “Uncle
Ben” Cooper, the proprietor.

A NOTED DESPERADO.
Dentil uf Martin SIKeliell. (Jie Arkansas Snunqi
Angel—His Cnrecr.
New Orleans Timcs-Democrat.
Memphis, October 18.—Martin Mieliell,
the notorious “Swamp Angel” of the St.
James river bottom, has climbed the
golden stairs. He died Saturday night at
the residence of J. S. Davidson, on St.
Francis river, and was buried Sunday af
ternoon.
His death was caused by blood poison
and the loss of blood from the wound in
bis arm and band, which he received on
the morning of October 5, when he was
shot by John Andrews, who, in wounding
Mitchell, killed Roger Mallory.
Martin Mitchell was unquestionably the
most noted desperado who has flourished
in this locality since the days of John A.
Murrell. He had his home In the swamps
of the St. Francis river, and has murdered
no less than a dozen men in the past six
.years. He was the terror of the entire
country, for his enmity meant death to
any person who had, with or without
cause, offended him.
At one time during iiis eventful career
he was attacked by three men, who were
outlaws like himself. They all fired upon
him, but unfortunately missed their aim. . ... - ...
Mitchell fled, and the three men, who were J® that of his illustrious ancestor, while
in a skiff 1 , proceeded down the St. Francis | the eye is undoubtedly^ the _P|® r c*
river. They had not gone far before the
crack of a Winchester rifle was
heard which sent a bullet straight through
the head of one of the men. The other
two tried to get out of range, but it was too
late. Two more shots settled them, each
bullet killing a man, and the skiff was
found the next day floating down|the river
with its three dead occupants.
It was thus that Mitchell always settled
with his enemies. About two years ago
the Memphis and Little Rock railroad train
wus wrecked at Black Fish, some twenty
i ! J' ea hi nt ! ;rest le * ,as l )e< ' n ns prominently
Identified as any man in the state. He has
been a teacher and has written and work
ed extensively for the cause. Mr. Calvin
has been chairman of the house educa
tional committee for four years and hns
had a working place on the agricultural
and military committee. During the
session of the last legislature the
Bpenk er of the house called upon
Mr. Calvin a number of times to preside.
Ho is a fine parliamentarian, and will
probably be presented by his friends as a
candidate for speaker pro tern, of the
•’ ■ lib will organize on the first
” '• ember next. Mr. Calvin
does not scca uu first but second place,
and his record for diligence and probity
in the legislature should secure for him
the position for which he will be pressed.
It was at Mr. Calvin’s suggestion that the
successful experiment of printing a daily
journal was attempted in the house. Ho
showed special aptitude for legislative
work, and is one of the purest and most
painstaking men in the legislature. The
Banner-Watchman would be glad to see
Mr. Calvin elected to the place.
SILK CULTURE.
Karts from the Department at Washington About
Hn> new Industry*
Washington, October 21.—It will prob
ably be learned with as much surprise in
the state of Missouri as anywhere else that
Missouri leads all the states in the country
in silk culture. Of course, as yet every
thing in this line is experimental, but not
withstanding that fact a larger quantity of
silk cocoons are now produced in the
United States than is generally supposed.
In this culture, as stated, the facts show
Missouri to be in the very van of progress.
An appropriation of $10,000 was made at
the last session of congress for the collec
tion and disseminating all through the de
partment of agriculture of information
relating to silk culture and in addition f,):■
the purchase and distribution of silk worm
eggs and for conducting at some point in
the District of Columbia experiments with
automatic machinery for reefing silk from
the cocoons. This appropriation was
made in a very practical form, the com
missioner of agriculture being authorized
to sell at open market any and all reeled
silk and silk waste pm need in these ex
periments. This is a small sum of money,
but it will probably enable the commis
sioner to make such practical progress as
will demonstrate the feasibility of making
silk culture profitable in the United States.
The one difficulty to be overcome iri the
establishment of silk culture in this coun
try is the adoption of machinery to the
work of reeling silk from the cocoons. A
plant of six pans capable of running twen
ty-four reels has been procured and set up
in one of the buildings of the agricultural
department. It is a duplicate of a similar
plant of equal capacity which was set up
in one of the small villages of France,about
forty miles from Lyons, in 1832, which has
been in successful operation since then, al
though not for commercial purposes. The
gentleman in charge of the plant at the
agricultural department, Mr. Walker, was
associated in France with the inventor of
this reeling machine, and is a
man of unusual intelligence, thoroughly
acquainted with the silk industry. He hns
with him two Italians—a man and wife—
who are skilled operatives, although un
familiar with the machinery they are
using now.
The reeling machinery were put in oper
ation for the first time to-day and the first
thread reeled. Not much work was done,
however, as the machinery is not yet ac
curately adjusted so as to be in good work
ing order. It is hoped enough work will
have been done before the first of January
to enable the sale of a bale of raw silk
which will afford a good test of the prac
ticability of the new industry in tha
United States.
PRINCE NAPOLEON IN CHICAGO.
HE WAS AN AMERICAN.
Washington, October 18.—The Wash
ington Post of to-day has the following
war-like article: “In a private letter re
cently received here from Odessa, Russia,
from one peculiarly fitted and nble to
judge of matters political mid diplomatic,
the statement is made in the most em
phatic way that a terrible European war
is inevitable—war which Russia will pro
voke. The correspondent further states
that it is generally believed by foreign
diplomats stationed in the southern
cities of Russia that it is a matter of a short
time until the czar shall occupy all of the
territory bordering on the Black sea and
eventually Constantinople. The feeling of
good will existing between Russia and the
United States is well exemplified by the
treatment recently accorded an American
in that country, nnd the leniency shown
by the Russian authorities in this instance,
in view of the European difficulties of the
present time, lends increased signitlioanee
to the episode.
“The story told by a prominent Wash
ingtonian, who arrived home during the
week from an extended tour through the
czar’s dominions, is briefly this: An Amer
ican minister named Conrad, a Baptist
minister, arrived in Russia in July on a
visit to friends in the province of Taurida.
The Russian laws prohibit ministers of
any denomination from visiting that coun
try without a special passport, and under
no circumstances are they permitted to
either preach or convert. Siberia is the
penalty. The evangelist in question had
no permit to enter the country, but ho
entered it boldly and forthwith began
preaching and baptizing. He was arrested
lnstanter, and the horrors ot Siberia were
imminent, lie was allowed to send a let
ter to the nearest American consul, who
interceded, and in a few days the reverend
gentleman, who had been guilty of a seri
ous offense against Russian law, was re
leased. The achievement of the consul
was widely commented on by all the for
eign diplomatic representatives in the
province, and it was publicly stated that,
had the offender been other than an Amer
ican, all Europe could not have saved
him.”
BRACHEN’S SENSATION.

I'nlson Oak.
Last Sunday, while at Mr. T. F. Hud
son’s, the great hay and carp man, who is
perhaps better known than any farmer in
the state, we noticed that his son, DeWitt,
seemed to be skinning off at Iho bands.
Mr. H. called the little fellow to him and
showed us bow the skin,even on the palms
of his hands, wns coming off in flakes and
a new skin appearing underneath, lie
explained that several years ago tile child
was badly poisoned with poison oak, and
every spring lie broke out and suffered
greatly, tie had applied every known
remedy to relieve the sufferer, and em
ployed physicians to attend him, but with
no avail. “In fact.” Mr. Hudson con
tinued, “it seemed tike to go in sight of a
poison oak vine would cause the eruption
to break nut afresh. After trying every
thing else, I read in the Banner-Watch
man so much about theS. 8. 8. blood med
icine that. I determine to try that also, hut
must confess that 1 had but little hope in
it. But, os you see, its success has been
wonderful. ’ It has driven every particle
of the poison from my child’s system,and is
now putting a new skin on him. He is
thoroughly cured, and the 8. 8. 8. did the
good work. 1 bolleve that it will drive
out any kind of poison from the blood,
and its effect- on DeWitt proves it. There
are a great many sufferers from poison oak
ill the country, and to such I can know
ingly recommend this great medicine, it
not only effects a certain cure, but seems
to put fresh life into one.”
This is only one of the numerous in
dorsements of 3. 8. 8. that has reached us,
and we publish it us information to those
who are suffering with poison in their sys
tem, it matters not from what source it
comes. This discovery in regard to curing
the effects of poison oak is ot great import
ance, as it gives a certain remedy for a
most common and aggravating affliction,
for which no permanent relief had ever
been known. The S. 8. S. is certainly the
king of blood medicine, and is as harmless
as it is solvent for the eradication of impure
blood from the system.—Athens Banner-

Chicago, October 21.—Napoleon’sgrand-
nephew, Prince Napoleon, Louis Joseph
Jerome, reached Chicago this afternoon.
He and his companion, the Chevalier
Mario de Miehela, have come from San
Francisco after having enjoyed an exten
sive tour through India, China and Japan.
They broke the overland journey at
Virginia City in order to visit some of the
mines. Both are on their way home, the
prince’s destination being at present un
decided. Ho will take up his residence
either in Switzerland or in Italy wherever
his father, Prince Napoleon, may
be at the time of his arrival.
The incognito title of the prince is taken
from the estate of Moncalieri, situated
about four miles south of Turin. He was
born at Mudon, famed as being the last
parish of the jovial Rabelais and where his
father once owned a pleasant chateau. In
appearance he com bines the traits of the
family of Bonaparte and of Xhe House of
Savoy. The forehead is that of the great

writing of a woman, and signed Your Lov

Bhachento send her money to come to

the place, as there would he a convention
of teachers held on Friday, at which all
the teachers in the county would be pres

will find me out.” This language would
indicate something wrong. In the post

is Braehen’s wife or a victim of Brachen
