BAILEY, Editor, 7. H. JTULLIS, JR. Business Mgr. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE Sl.oo PER YEAR 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 house of renro • ■ utatiws iiu! 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.

C. & J. H. HALL, Empire, Georgia. 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. The Supply.
