Editor: I have beard considerable talk about a cotton factory at Centre. So far thia has been "all talk and no cider;" but the matter is now beginning to sound a little more snbstancial. -Anywhere between Centre and Garrett's Ferry on the Coosa river wonld be a capital locality the land necessary for the site could, be bad for the mere asking, or at most for a comparatively nominal price and the water and feul necessary to ran the machinery is all of easy access.

The cotton sufficient to -supply a fifty looja factory could be had from the prodacts of a -radius of ten miles from the factory, and all the labor necessary to ran the machine could be secured from the immediate vis cinity if necessary then what hinders us? 1 understand $50,000 will build and equip this kind of factory. Will it pay 150,000 loaned out at 8 per center annum will secure an annual income of $4000, provided the borrowers don't break and the securities faiL This factor? ought to manufacture at least twenty bales of cotton per week those twenty bales wonld cost say 800. and say labor and fael neccessary to manufacture them would cost say $400 making the cost for each week say $1200. Now one bale of cotton will make about 3000 yards of domestic and the twenty bales wonld produce of course 60,000 yards of domestic; and put tbia domestic at 4 cents per yard the 60,000 yards would bring $2400, giving a clear profit of $1200 per each week cr a clear proht of $62,400 per annnm, as against the $4000 ot interest on the $50,000 loaned.

However, Dr. Whit? is improving very fast and Tbx News hopes for his speody recovery, ECHOES FROM EXECUTION Futher Comment Upon the Hang ing of Sherman Arpf Last Frtday Morning. An erroneous report was sent ont to the daily papers that Sherman had sold bia body at 8 cents per ponnd that a number of physicians bidding offered dinerent prices that oner man was weighed like so much beef, and brought over 912. No so.

Dr. Will O. Darnall offered the deceased $10 for his body, which was readily accepted. No other physician made an oner, of this nature, to Arp. The rope with which Arp was ex ecuted, was the instrument of seven hangings prior to its use upon Sherman.

One of these was a lynching at summervilie, Ua. Reference was made in ThsNsws' account of last week's hanging, to Sherman's calling for sheriff Dickson during his talk in the court boose, a few minutes prior to his demise. The Sheriff was issuing tickets daring the wnile. "What fools we mortals be." The scene within one hour after the drop was becoming to be an inter sly dramatic one crowds were going hith er and thither talking the matter to foigetfulness. Nine of every ten men met were indignant at their own sweet selves that tbey did not reach Centre in time to witness the hang ing.

Why, it every one anxious had been admitted, there would not have been standing room. The physicians bave been desect- ing Arp's body since his execution. He was swell developed specimen of physical manhood. An "X'' marked on the margin of your paper means due one year two XX's two years Postmasters are cautioned to deliver papers un der mark, even though protest is made by subscriber.1 rope and domestic considerably cheaper1 and even this advantage though apparently insignificant, would amount to a big thing in a few years. At all events we wunld not bf injured, even in the case of the hnmb est and remotest individsal, and some of us at least would be largly benefited.

Bat what can we dot someone may ask. we navn got the money necessary to build this factory and how can we aid in this matter We can speak favorably and often about it. We ean talk about it among our selves and when we are thus talkiner some one may hear ns who will tell some body, that era do something. One time when the great Naaman was afft-cted with leprosy his people were all talking about for they were interested in him and nneasv. They knew of no remedy hoped for no cure, but still they talked, and one day they talked in the presence of a little Israilistish girl a captive perhaps one of the grest Naaman's captives, and she told them where Naaman could find a healer and he went and was healed and healed in a very simple way.

This shows what talk has done of conrse some times people talk too much bat never too much when they are in an unselfish spirit talking about something that will bring a benefit to some one. Then let ns get to talking about thia factory and may bo some body will see the point who has the means. If we fail we can at least bave the assurance that eur were good and we were talking in the interest of an enterprise that could burden none and might possibly benefit many. C.
