NEW MAXIM GUN TESTS.
If Successful a New Branch of
Service May be Added.
Springfield, Mass , May 6.—Ma
jor Taylor and Lieut. Harney, of
the United Sates army, with the
possible addition of Capt. Rogers
Birnie, will constitute an examin
ing board to examine into the
merits of a new’ Maxim gun with a
view to adopting it for servee. It
is possible that a new branch of
the service will be origanized to
use it. The new arm is one in
which the recoil of the barrel is
utilized to load, eject the empty
shells and produce new cartridges
ready for firing. It is operated
by one man, who has no other
duty to perform than to sit on a
tripod and direct the fire of the
gun. Its advantages are extreme
lightness, stability and endurance,
as well as rapid-firing qualities.
The gun has already been adopt
ed by most of the European gov
ernments and its practical value
has been tested in actual cam
paigns. It is already used by navy,
but only in larger sizes, while that
suggested for the army will dis
charge the same calibre of ammu
nition as the small arms used by
both army and navy.
Different makes of machineguns
have been used in the United
States army, the Nordefeldt, Gat
ling and Hotchkiss revolving can
non being among the number, but
the new Maxim has features quite
distinctive from any of those.
Without the tripod the gun weighs
between 50 and 60 pounds, and
can be carried strapped to a man’s
back, or on a mule. Many army
officers favor a new branch of ser
vice to use small rapid-firing guns
James Huber and T. F. Lane,
representing the Vickor’s Sons
and Maxiin Company, of England,
are in the city to attend tests that
are to be made by the board of
officers.
If you have piles, cure them. No

The enemy’s loss was fifteen
men killed and twenty wound'd.
Our troops also captured three
prisoners and many rifles.

COTTON MILL AT DALLAS,
Tho Company Has Boon Perfect

Dallas, Ga., May 15.—The organ

Mills company is perfected. Tho of

The company will erect at Dallas a
cotton factory and cotton seed oil mill.
It is proposed to do the work entirely
with home capital. The stock sub
scription books arc open, and citizens
of the town and county are subscrib

dent, Mr. E. Davis, lias already ob
tained enough slock subscriptions to
insure the success of the enterprise.
A paper out in a western town
had for its motto, “We tell the
Truth.” Not long ago, the editor
printed some unpleasant truths
concerning two citizens of tho
town, who called at his office and
wiped up the floor with him in gen
uine western style. With the next
issue of tho paper, the old motto
disappeared, and tho following no
tice was displayed conspicuously :

contly received, this paper will lie
