MILAN EXCHANGE If. A. WADE, PubUther. Term $1.50 Per Annntn, In Advance. SATURDAY. JAN. 21, !188 The iNi'prenie Court ha ' decided that the c urving of a pistol, to cotj-ti tute nn ollenne under the s(Uute, riiint be with a view of being nrr,e! 1" the carry ing tK-ri.-tol.l() Vith this in lent, it will make nutiiSerence-wiicih-er the carrying was 011 one's own premise or not. The intent must exist. ' The venerable Uichelor editor of the Nashville World drops 100 3 long enough to write a long editorial ad vising Ilorsley, of the Columbia Her ald, nnd Brandon, of the Clarksville Tobacco Leaf, to get married. He encourages them by citing iheni to the recent marriage of an old couple in the Henderson county poorhouse. Take the beam out of your own eye, Uro. Hi ley. Mnj. Clark, of Clarksville, the last acting tr?aurer of the late Confeder ate States, published a statement in the Courier Journal last week which shows conclusively that the money in the confederate treasury train at the close of tlia war was paid out to the troops in that neighborhood, and that President Davis did not get a dime of it. It is proper, also, to state that Gen. Johnson denies that he charged Mr. Davis with appropriating the money to his own use. Since the organization of the order of Knights of Honor, June 30, 1873, down to Jan. 1,1882, the immense sum of 5,395,093. 65 has been paid to the widows and orphans of deceased members of that order. There are now about 120,000 members, and the order is rapidly growing. Of this number Tennessee has near 7000 members. In this state there have been in all 412 deaths, distributing 8824,000 among the widows and or phaus of the order, thus relieving a large number of helpless people. It is proper to state that 155 of the deaths in this state were from yellow fever in 1878 and 1879. The actual cost to a member under forty-five years of age, who joined the order in 1873, has been, for eight years, $91 in assessments, or an average of 811. 37 per year. If to this sum of 891 for assessments, three dollars per year be added for lodge dues for the eight years, and ten dollars for the initiation fee, the total cost to such a member will be 8132. Dividing this by eight, we have the average annual cost for initiation fee, lodge dues, and assessments during eight years, 816.50 Or a total annual cost for each one thousand dollars' benefit, to each member, of 88.25. TheGuiteau trial is being argued in court and will hardly reach the ju ry before next week. Scoville, in his speech last Wednesday, used the fol lowing language, which created quite a sensation, and on which he was warmly congratulated: I say that such men as Grant and Conkling and Arthur are morally and intelh dually responsible foi this crime. Mr. ConkHng shall not es cape; shall not shirk the responsibility of the state of things thai led to this act, and he shall not escape the con demnation of the American people, if I can help it, for his share in this disgraceful scramble for office that led to a conflict with a chosen ruler of this great nation, and led this poor in sane man to compass what they would have hailed with satisfaction, as would probably hundreds of other politicians, if it could occur other than through assassination, the removal of Garfield, who stood in the way of their unrighteous and disgraceful strug gle for office. ' Neither shall Grant escape that condemnation to which he is so justly subjected, when coming from Mexico and coining with undue baste to throw his own name iu this petty quarrel about a small office in the republican party and sought to foment differences that hai sprung Dp. J. k I. Coats' Spool Cotton Machinery. ' The quMion has torn asked the ; agents of Messrs. J. & l. Coats: Is not your spooling machinery a little old-fashioned and behind the times, and is there not economy in the use of the machine that winds eight spools at a lime, while yours is winding only wo ? The question is a fair one, and we answer liy giving a condensed his tory of spooling machinery. Uutil about tvenly-tive years ago all spool cotton wps wound on what were called I kx i.iuiii..ci)iie.i. ine nisi reany im portant improvement was made about Hint period, and was the invention ot Mr. Wield, aixl known as the Wield eight spool winder. It was a great advance over previous inven tions, mid immediately came into large use. J. A 1. (Coats, wth other manufacturers, adopted it in their Scotch factories, where it has been in operation ever since. At the time of its invention more thread was used for hand sewing than mi sewing nia chines, and what bsis since proved to be a very serious objection to its use, w as at that time of very little impor tance, viz.; that when a thread breaks in spooling, it is necessary to stop the winding of the entire eight spools and tie the two ends with a knot. Aside from this its work iu the main is satisfactory. In 1857 or 1858 Mr. Ilezekiah Conant, of Connecticut, turned his at tention to such machinery, and after long experiment perfected the Conant Winder now iu use by J. & I'. Ccats in all their American mills, and which they are rapidly substituting for the Wield Eight-spooler iu their Paisley works. Mr. Conant was also the in ventor ot the most successful spool ticketer, and until his patent for the same expired other inventors did not try to get up new machines, as no ticketer can be made to work unless it embodies the main point of his pat ent, i. e., punching the ticket from sheets or strips of paper. Equipped with his two machines, Mr. Conant went to Scotland, and naturally sub mitted them to J. & P. Coats judg iug rightly that he was applying at headquarters it being an established fact that this old firm, though pru dent and conservative, are ever on the alert for anything that will in any way improve the quality of their goods, and will pay a price that small er houses would scarcely risk. The result was an invitation to become connected with their business, and time has proved the wisdom of their prompt decision. More than half of all the six-cord spool cotton used in the United States is now wound on the Conant spooler, and all parties using sewiug machines driven by steam power testify to the advantage of having thread spooled on this ma chine. J. fe P. Coats never consid ered the Wield Eight-spooler or the Conaut Winder "superhuman" ma chines. If they had done so. they might have thought it wise to estab lish a kindergarten with its narrow aisle and sihgle row of seats in which to exhibit it, and give object lessons. They thought best when they entered the Atlanta Exposition to establish a store room for their goods iu the city, and leave their space wide and free with four large entrances, through whicu the crowd surges as they enter the Exposition; and it is safe to say that their average attendance is about the same as that registered at the en trance turn stiles. The thread spool cotton displays at the Exposition are well gotten up, and far in advance of the displays made by either firm iu Philadelphia or Pans. The visitors recognize this, and no one comes with out looking at all of them and feeling that they have received the full worth of their entrance fee, were there not many other interesting objects to see. But it is hard to tell how the compa uy who use the Wield Eight-spooler, cau say, "Thai their machinery is fif ty years in advance of that hi use by auy other thread manufacturer, and is admitted to be such by all competi tors," when two years ago, at the Cin cinnati Exposition, they put their Wield Eight-spooler, the identical machine they now exhibit at the At lanta Cotton Exposition, calling it "One of their many refinements," into competition with the Conant Winder; and the result was that the Conant machine took the prize medal. Doubt less some oue may yet invent a better winder than the Conant; but, doubt Jess, it has not yet been accomplished. The ladies of the South may rest as sured that the goods used by their grandmothers will be kept up to the highest standard iu this great age of progress and improvement. The hardest test that auy spool cotton can be put to is in its use on sewing mas chines run by steam power, aud in the working of buttonholes by hand or machine, and for these purposes J. 5i P. Coats' thread has certainly no equal. PRI6KLY The majority of the ills of the human body aritr from a derangement of the X,ler, affecting both the stomach and bowels.
