New Enterprises
for Cochran
Now that we have a permanent
industrial organization for Cochran
in the Chander ef Commerce, there
is no reason why our city should
not commence at once to take on
new life and growth.
We arc sure that the committees
selected by Dr. J. B. Peacock, Pres
ident, will Iw amply capable to
look after our city’s interest and
will display the proper energy and
enterprise necessary for her future
development.
First of all things we need a new
railroad so We will be able to offer
enterprises sufficient inducement as
to freight rates to locate here.
We want a furniture factory, gu
ano factory, knitting mill, cream
ery: in fact ah kinds of small enter
prises that could be induced to come
here with some local encouragement
and a guarantee of equal freight
rates with common points in Miis
territory. *
Democratic Landslide
Throughout Country
The Deimu rals have once
again sv.vpt the country, sum!
all imlicuti' n. are that they
will secure conirol 01. the u -at

iuall prohahihtv 1 h- -emuc, a
the . oThplexion of the stale
legislal lives seem to he deci
dedly 1 lemocratie. I lu l gen
eral opinion seems to he that
this landslide is due principal
ly to the repudiation of the
Payne-A Ulrich tariff, Repub
lican misrule and extrava
gance, and the universal opin
ion among the people that
the high cost of living is en
tirely out of proportion to the
standard wages received in
the various lines of business.
Some go far enough to
claim, that Rooseveltism had
something to do with it. 11 is
“New Nationalism'’ and im
perial;.,tic tendencies, alarm
ing the more conservative el
ement of our country, especi
ally those who believe in the
autonomy of the individual
states as an inheritance be
queathed to us by our forefa
thers as one of the funda
mental principles of our con
stitute) n . This being;
the very lifp and the only
safeguard to a dual form of
government. The Colonel
has always exhibited a ten
dency toward centralization,
a desire to clothe the federal
government wi t h stronger
power, thereby weakening
the legislative and judicial
branches of our government
and paving the way foran im
perialism in America strong
ly detrimental to our republi
can form of government.
Stimson, Roosevelt’s candi
date, lost out in New York
and it seems that Massachu
setts, Connecticut, and New
Jersey have also been won
from the Republicans.
Let the good work go on.
Should ihe Democrats get
control of the two houses of
congress and be able to give
good account of their steward
ship for the next two years by
an economical and conserva
tive administration they will
elect the President in 1012.

The Preparation of Parchment.
Parchment is the okin oi sneep or
other animals prepared in sheets to
render them fit for being written upon.
The heavier parchment, used for drum
heads. is made from the skins of ass
es, older calves, wolves and goats. All
these are similarly prepared. The
skin, being freed from the hair, is
placed in a lime pit to cleanse it from
fat. The pelt is then stretched upon
a frame, care being taken that the sur
face is free from wrinkles. The flesh is
pared off with a circular knife, after
which it is moistened, and whiting
spread over it. Then the workman,
with a large pumice stone, rubs the
skin. He next goes over it with an
iron instrument and rubs it carefully
with pumice stone without chalk. Fi
nally the skin is gradually dried, tight
ening being occasionally required.
A Fast Express.
The slow train is still the target for
the shafts of the humorist. Recently
an English wag sent the following let
ter to the editor of his local paper:
‘•Sir, is there no way to put a stop to
begging along the line of the railway?
For instance, yesterday an aged men
dicant with a wooden leg kept pace
with the afternoon express all the way
from Blankton to Spacelev and an
noyed the passengers exceedingly, go
ing from one open window to another
with his importuneate solicitations.”
Similarity.
“What a noisy thing that bass drum
is!” remarked the clarinet disgustedly.
“Yes,” replied the trombone; “Just
like a human being, isn’t It?”
“Like a human being?”
“Yes; it’s the one with the big head
that makes the most noise."—London
Telegraph.
Bed Tapo and Matrimony.
Some of the reasons why a French
man may not marry are given by a
correspondent of n Paris newspaper,
lie has been trying to get married for
three years*and has not yet sticci
French marriage law is a tricky thing
to deal with. If the prospective bride
groom has not lived more than six
months at his address at the time of
the marriage he must get a certificate
signed by the landlord and concierge
of every house where he bus lived pre
viously till he gets back to one where
he dkl live for six months. Birth cer
tificates are required and the written
consent of parents.
As no paper must hear a date more
than two months old, it often happens
that the marriage must be postponed
to get the papers renewed. The man
who had been foiled for three years
once succeeded in making all his pa
pers correct, when he was called up
for his periodical term of military
service, and this threw his papers out
of date.
Another time he arrived before the
mayor with his bride, but the cere
mony was not performed, as a certif
icate of his first wife’s death was not
forthcoming.
Prince Henry, the Navigator.
The kingdom of Portugal counted in
its royal house one of the men who
hold first rank in scientific attain
ment and practical application. He
was the son of John I. of Portugal
and Queen Philippa (who was an Eng
lish princess); he spent his life in
sending out ships on voyages of dis
covery, and it was through this Prince
Henry, called “the Navigator,” that
Columbus got his Idea of seeking for
s ne# land across the sea.
The Ancient Use of a Kiss.
A BouianAvomau in the ancient time
\ t
It were simple raisin wine, and how
ever she mi-.ht rell-li strong drinks
she could not indulge even by s:-.-ai: li
—first, because she was never intrust
ed with She key of the wine cellar
nr. 1. second, he ; use she was obliged
daily to gr: t wuh a kiss all her own
ns well us her husband’s male repre
sent.:ti» s, down even to second cous
ins, and ns she knew not when or
where she might meet them she was
forced to he wary and abstain alto
gether. for had she tasted hut a drop
the smell would have- betrayed her.
So strict were the old Romans in this
respect that a certain Ignatius Mcr
curins is said to have slain his wife
because he caught her at- the wine
cask—a punishment which was not
deemed excessive by Romulus, who ab
solved the husband of the crime of
murder. Another Roman lady who un
der the pretease of taking a little wine
for her stomach’s sake and frequent
infirmities indulged somewhat too free
ly was mulcted to the full amount of
her dowry.
Among the Honors.
One of {he last times that Bishop
Burgess of Long Island dined out was
at the Press club, where the waiters
are all negroes. The head waiter bowed
Bishop Burgess and bis host profusely
to their places. "This way, adra’ral,”
said he. “Tele this table. You get a
bettah view of the harbor heah, ad
m’ral.”
“1 am not an admiral,” said Bishop
Burgess, smiling.
“My mistek, suh,” said the head
waiter. “Ah rnout er known all the
time I was or talkin’ to a military
man. You like dis table, colonel?”
“I am not a colonel.” said Bishop
Burgess, smiling more broadly. “I am
a bishop.”
“To be shuah. suh.” said the head
waiter. “To-o be shuah! Ve’y sorry
for mah mistek, suh. I got dem titles
of adm’ral and colonel wrong, suh. hut
Ah was ail right on de main issue. Ah
knowed soon as Ah saw you dat you
was one of de face cards of your pro
fession, suh.”—Cincinnati Times-Star.
Purely Hypothetical.
“Hncie Henry, I want to ask your
advice.”
“Well?”
“But you mustn’t mention it to a liv
ing soul. Suppose you were a young
girl of my age and three men had pro
posed to you, one of them a young
preacher, fine looking and well edu
cated, the second one a handsome
young man in business, swell dresser
and thinking the world of you, and the
third a rich foreigner with a distin
guished air about him and well spoken
of by everybody. Which of the three
do you think would make the best hus
band?”
“Why, Annabel, child, consult your
own heart. Which of the three do
yon love best?”
“Mercy, Cncle Henry! Nobody’s pro
posed to me yet. I’m only trying to
get pointers, so I’ll know the right
man when he comes along.”—Chicago
Tribune.
