HOLD YOUR COTTON-AIILL
STOCK.

The cotton spinners of the United
States are passing through a period
of depression which tries both their
patience and +heir purse. Diffe.
rent remedies are proposed. Some
Of the mills work on half time,
while others have ceased operations
altogether. The effort everywhere
is to find the means of holding out,
with the least possible loss until
there shall be a revival of trade.
The Southern cotton mills suffer
in common with The mills in the
Middle States and New England,
but, where these mills have been
economically built and are we'll
managed, their loss in such times
as these is considerably less than
the loss of -. their competitors in
other parts of the Union. Just as
they can make 8 larger proper
tionate profit than the New Eng
land Mills, when trade is brisk, so
their loss is less when the market
is stagnant. There is ne,hing,
therefore, in the present temporary
congestion in the cotton trade to
cause Southern spinners any alarm.
The time is near, We firmly be-
lieve, when business of every kind
will revive. With fresh demand
for cotton goods and the early con-
sumption of the present reduced
stock, the mills everywhere will be
able to run on full time with profit
to the owners. It would be great
pity, therefore, if the holders of
shares in manufacturing companies
in the South should be induced to
part with their properly at the pre-
sent low quotations. The South.
ern mills had years Of great pros.
perity. 1t was great disappoint-
ment to the stockholders to find that
dividends must be suspended, or re.
duced, and many of them disposed
of their shares as though these had
become of little value. This caused
prices to decline still more.
There is as much reason to have
confidence in Southern Cotton mills
now as there was before the bust
ness depression began. Timid per.
sons who sell their shares will sim.
ply give to spectators the oppor.
tunity to obtain, at from so to rs
cents on the dollar, shares that, in
the course Of a year or two, will
command their full nominal value
if not premium. We urgently ad.
wise stockholders in the Southern
mills to make almost any sacrifice
rather than part with their stock.
1t is good investment, and they
who hold fast to it will reap the
reward Of their faith.

THE CASH FAMILY.

We have received and read with
much interest the book published
by Mr.. S. ". Henley, Of Wades.
boro', n. c., entitled The Cash
Family of S. c." It gives a graphic
description Of the Cashes, and clos.
ly defines their positions in all the
bloody and brutal encounters which
have made their regulations ma
tional. The author is evidently no
stranger to the family. and in his
work has been furnished With much
information that has not before been
made known 20 the public. Besides
the blood.curoling accounts con.
tanned therein, Col. Cash receives
credit for his many kind and hu.
name acts during the war, and the
earnestness with which he made
numerous sacrifices for the good OF
his State at the time she was re.
deemed from robber rule. The
younger Cash, who it appears was
known to the author, is closely
followed from the cradle to the
grave, and his life, amid combating
Influences, is made as sad as it was
checkered. The price of the book
is fifty cents, and may be had by
addressing Mr.. Henley, at Wades'
boro, N. C. It Is richly worth this
sum, and should be read by all who
have taken any interest in the
Cashes and their exploits.

ACANINE BALL PLAYER.

The owner of the poodle gave q
whistle and pointed at the ball,
whereupon the animal in a moment
dropped its lethargicHappearance
and began to leap around in a state
of great excitement barking at the
top of its lungs. Tie young man
drew of, as the saying is, and sent
the ball high into the air, the quick
eye of the poodle following it from
the start, but not until it turned
and began to come down did he
move. Then, dodging about for a
few moments, as the ball fell he
opened his capacious mouth and
caught it with a sock that was heard
hundred yards away.
"Want another trial?" asked the
owner. as his dog laid his ball at
his feet. :
"No, that settles it." replied the
young man. "What nine does he
belong to?'
"Oh, he belongs to a private CON-
bination," was the answer. sNow
I'll show you what he can do. Get
out there, Jack!"
The dog ran into the field, and as
his master delivered a red.hot ball
directly at him he received it with
out a culver, finally taking a seat
with his owner in the twenty-five
cent row.
ais that dog for sale?" inquired a
gentleman who sat next to him.
"No, sir" replied the owner.
Hes worth about $50 a week to
me as ball-player. Between you
and me, if I can ever get bet
started with Johnny Fresh, like
that chap over there, that the dog
won't muff a ball, I'm sure of the
money.
"No, l never gave him any par
tlcular training. He belonged to a
gang of boys that were always play
ing, and first got to running after
the ball and bringing it to the
pitcher. When l first came across
him he was center field Of nine,
and knew so much that he would
grab ball and run to any base
they told him to- I've seen him
jump and take foul on the first
bounce. practiced with him first
with slow balls on the fly, and his
teeth are fixed so that ball just
fits in; and the best part oft is that
he seems to like it, and now never
misses a ball that he kin git to in
time"

WATER BATHS.

81 take sponge.bath nfcold salt
water every morning Isit healthy
is it better to use fresh waterS'
There is no reason to believe that
for ordinary bathing purposes, salt
water is any better than fresh. The
salt is not absorbed, and if it were.
We take it more conveniently with
our food. Nor does it have any
particular effect on healthy skin.
The uses of water, as applied to
the surface of the body are: "a to
cleanse it; ~ to equalize the cir
culation; (S) to lessen the suscepti-
bility of the skin to changes of tenn
perature.
The first obiect-that of cleans
| ing-is accomplished by eltherccldor
warm fresh water or soap. Cleans
ing with soap once, or at the most
twice week, is often enough, for
| the clothing absords the larger part
ofthe impurities emitted by the
pores. Too frequent bathing, es-
pecially with soap, removes the
scarfskin too rapidly, and unduly
exposes the nerves which ramify on
the surface. Good authorities be-
lieve that in many cases the nery-
Gus system has been injured in this
way.
The second object-to equalize
the circniatiou-is accomplished by
immersing the body for short
time in hot water, by means of I,
bath-tub. Essentially the same
; thing is secured by the vapor bath.
This brings the blood strongly to
1.-THE surface and to the extremities
of the body, thus relieving any
pressure on the internal organs and
soothing the system generally.
This plain hot bath may be used
simply for cleansing purposes, but
it is specially suited to the occas.
ional needs of the feeble and to the
first stage Of a cold. After the
bath the body should be wiped
quickly, and the person should pass
at once, without any exposure, to
warm bed. Half q pint OF water,
drank as hot as can be easily borne,
is helpful, especially in case of cold,
or if the person mas been in any
way chilled.
The third object-that of lessen
ing the susceptibility of the skin to
changes of temperature-is accom-
! plished by cold sponge.bath. Here
quickness is essential. The sud-
den application of cold contracts
the capillaries and sends the blood
from the surface. This is followed
by reaction which relaxes and
dilates the eapilaries, bringing back
the blood with increased force.
The cold bath is not safe for per.
sons suffering from a heart con-.
aplaint, nor for such as are so feeble
that the reaction does not readily
occur, This reaction will shoM
itself in a glow on the surface Of
the skin and in a feeling of warmth.
The bath should be followed by q
! brisk rubbing Of the body with q
coarse towel.-KoaaAs (iompaaion.

THE FALLOW FIELD.

The days were bright and tie year was
young,
AS the warm sun climbed the sky;
And thousand flowers their censers swung,
And the la-ks were singing high;
For an angel swept on silent wing
To the grave where the dead earth layi
And the Easter dawned as the angel Spring
Rolled the rugged stone away.
Then the fields grew green with springing
corn,
And some with flowers were bright,
And each day came with IN earlier dawn,
And q fuller, sWeeter light.
So the year grew older noon by noon,
Till the reapers came one day,
And in the light Of the harvest moon
They bore the sheaves away.
But one field lay from the rest apart,
All silent, lone and dead;
And the rude share ribbed its Quivcring
heart
Till all its life had fed.
And never a blade, and never flower
On its silent ridges stirred;
The sunshine called. and the passing shower
1t answered never q word.
It seemed as if some curse of Ill
Were brooding in the air;
Yet the fallow field did the Masters will
Though never 8 blade it bare;
For it turned its fnrrowed fIce to Heaven,
Catching the light and rain;
It was keeping its Sabbath-one N seven
That it might grow rich again.
And the fallow field had its harvest moon,
Reaping golden spoil;
And It learned its sever-brightening noon
That rest for God was toll.
