Death of William Gilmore simms.

The well known and popular Southern
novelist, William Gilmore Simms, died at
the residence of his son-in-law, in the city of
Charleston, s. c., on the evening of Satur-
day last Mr.. Simms was born in the city
in which he breathed his last, on the 10th Of
April, 1906. At an early age he was left an
orphah, and the only fostering care which
was thrown over his early years was such
protection as his grandmother, on old lady
whose means were limited, could Afford
Under such circumstances, it may naturally
be inferred that the carly education of the
future novelist was poor, indeed. Yet We
find that at the age of eight he indulged in
poetry aud wrote verses. He was, even at
this early age, u great reader, and deYoured
eagerly all the books within his reach. This
stood him in after years, and served, in a
measure, to supply the deficiency of regu-
lar education. To practice medicine was
his first aspiration but this, it seems, was
abandoned, and the study of law became the
Object of his ambition. He however, prac-
ticed law but short time. He then enter
ed journalism and commenced 10y editing
the Charleston City Gazette, a political news
sheet of Union or naturalization princi-
Piles. The Gazette failed. and Simms, bccom-
ing disheartened or discouraged, forsook
journalism and devoted himself to literature
proper. In this pursuit he made rapid sue
cess. One Of his first novels, if not the first,
"Martin Faber," was a hit. The book
was well written and deserved the success it
| won. For an unknown author this success
was fame and fortune. Encouraged with
the reception of this work, Mr.. Simms set to
work with renewed vigor. and novel after
novel followed each other with astonishing
rapidity.
As biographer Dir. Silnms has produced
| four creditable works. "The Life of Bayard"
is one upon which he seems to have bcstow-
ed most attention. As poet he has written
more perhaps than any other Southern wri-
ter, Among the best known of his poetical

The Growth of Manufactures at the
South.

South.
The growth of manufactures in the South
since the war has been steady. This fact is
significant of the changes which have been
wrought by the new order of things in the
business as well rs the social and political
circles of that important section. In the
days of slave labor, manufactures received
no attention in that quarter So that they
had market for their cotton, the land and
slave owners were quire content with the til
lago OF their productive soil, leaving to other
sections and other labor systems the manu-
iacture OF their wearing apparel and even
the very instruments with which they stick.

ing up there. Northern capitalists find it
mills for the manipulation Of the great SontfG. s.
ern staple on the soil that quickened 1t
And why mott Is itnot apparent that BY
this means the cost of transportation, first Of
the raw material one way and then of the
manufactured article the other, is saved
therebyg We are told that company of
capitalists from St. Louis are making pre-
parations for the erection of extensive ma
cbinery for the manufacture of domestic
fabrics, cotton yarns, ETC., on a gigantic
scale, in the very midst as it were, of the
cotton fields Heretofore, we are assured,
less than one-fifteenth of the entire crop of
the year has been worked into cloth in
Southern factories. In the future the home
consumption will be greater, albeit with the
superior water power of the Eastern States,
it is not probable the competition Will be
sharp, or that the products of Southern mills
will find their way North to any extent
Nor is it at all probable that the opening of
manufactures in the South will to any ap-
preciable extent interfere with the manufac-
turing interests Of the North. All the pro-
ducts Of Northern mills, of whatever descrip,
tion, will find, as heretofore ready market,
and the increase in the demand will go in
direct ratio with the growth of the whole
country in wealth and population while
the South, by enlarging her productive flcil-
tiles and her industries, will attain pros
perity only cquslled by her commercial and
financial independence.-Bos,on Journal.

True.

The man that will take newspaper for q

Worse than that. He would steal the

it on his shirts, to save tho expense of wash
ing, and then sue his wifes father for a

He would be as mean as the man who
cursed his poor old mother for stopping in
his door yard to hcg for bread; and who
gave his only child penny for going to
bed supperless, and the next morning
charged him a penny for his breakfast.-
Torch Light
Stronger yet. He would sponge a living
from the hard earnings of his poor old
father until the poor old gentleman became
unable to work, and then let him die in the
poor house, and afterwards sell his remains
to the medical students for anatomical pur-
poses-BSytoa Banner.
Worse still. He would dig up the bones
of bis mother and make dice of them. and

A Literary Relic of the Past century,

On yesterday We had the pleasure of ex-
amlning very old and remarkable atlas,
the property of one of our most esteemed
citizens whose ancestors for generations
past have lived On the -"a'ers of the Cape
Fear. This atlas was given by the Baron de
Glaui,eck TO Abner Nash, Governor of North
Carolina, in .171S, and WIS subsequently, pre-
sented lay Governor Nash. tu Hon Alfred
Moorc, ,.of North Carolina. one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The book is n folio, measuring 2f4x1Sxa3
inches, and contains one hundred and eight
maps, with the geographical names and
divisions of the world, ancient and modern,
including, strange as it appears, many accu-
rate maps OF the United States and other
portions of america, giving the original
spelling of Indian name of places, rivers,
etc. On comparing it with works of recent
date we found it an accurate map of Egypt
and the Nile; and although it be piece OF
information which the French engineers
who constructed the Suez Canal might not
desire to be made public, yet the termini
and course of this great work, as shown by
this valuable atlas, were marked out, and
well defined more That ale hundred and

ACase of Almost Unparalleled Brutality

Yesterday forenoon another of those
mysterious dispatches, for which the telc-
graph clerk at police headquarters N. Y, has
become so famous,was brought to the Coro-
ner's cfiice from the Twenty-sixth precinct
station-house. 1t is stated that woman
named Hannah Mullen had died, it twas

her husband, at No. 321 East Thirty first

they seemed to live happily together, but
Dominick had passion for strong drink,
and used to return home quite often in a
beastly state of intoxication from gas
works in Brooklyn, where he had been en-
ployed for quite while. No matter how
much the witc did to please him and make
~tssT ifoiue happy, he was not satisfied, and
he finally began to get into the habit of kick
ing her in very brutal manner in the side
and back. The poor wife endured it all
without word of complaint until she was
in way to become q mother. Then she
could not get out of bed in the morning to

his supper was prepared for him and ready
to be put upon the table, he was not salts

obscene manner. From words he came to
blows, and she was ultimately so badly
beaten that it was only with difficulty she
could drag herself to the station house and
make a complaint against him Tor assault
and battery. As soon as she recovered
little she declined to plosec ute the case any
further, and the man was not arrested. She
was afraid he might murder her if she

not sleep during the night and in the morn

The husband insisted that she should get
up and prepare his breakfast, and suiting
the action to the word, kicked her out OF

the unfortunate Lewis Byrd sank about ten
