A Sermon on Economy.

Edward Atkinson 10 a shrewd observer
of the customs and habits of the people
His statement therefore, may be taken
without the customary pinch of salt He
says :-"It is probable that fully ninety
per cent. OF the whole body of the people
spend nearly all that they earn. Of this
ninety per cent. portion may, by setting
aside . moderate part OF their small earq.
ings, become the owners OF q house, or be-
come depositors of q saving bank or in.
sure their lives in moderate way Of
the remaining ten per cent. part save
enough to protect themselves against want
in their latter years, and very small part
may become rich and then need not work
unless they choose" The point to be
looked at is that a very large proportion
OF those who now live from hand to mouth
might be well off if they would acquire
frugal habits. Mr. Atkinson's advice ia
wholesome. 1t is good thing to have q
reserve fund, however small, for an emer.
gency. Nothing makes a man respect
himself more than to hear the jingle of a
couple of spare dollars in his pocket. To
eat everything up at dinner and trust to
Providerce for supper is putting a rather
heavy strain on religion. A man who is
eternally in debt to grocer, butcher or
physician is already citizen of that place

A Barrel of Flour Made into Bread.

The American Analyst thus sums a
bakers pI ofts, or what barrel Of flour
is worth when made into bread A baker
will toss barrel of -four into a trough.
Then he tosses l04 pounds of water on
top. A quantity of yeast is added, and
then the jolly baker has 800 pounds of
dough to operate on. The 800 pounds
cost him Is. In short order the dough
is turned into "twists," high loaves, pan
loaves, and other styles of the same quail
ty. The ovens heat reduces the 800
pounds of dough to s26O pounds OF bread.
The baker sells his bread at the rate OF
four cents pound, or at an advance of
over 80 per cent over what it cost him.
There are l,4Oo bakers, great and small,
in this city, and to them is committed the
trust of supplying bread to 100000 per-
sons. There are many bakers in this city
who make 1900 loaves of bread per day
and sell it for from $50 to $3.50, or at a
net profit of $40 Little money is lost in
the business, and most bakers do cash
trade. Il is very seldom that bakers fail.
The business is steady, reliable, and at
tended by very few risks, unless incom-
petent workmen.

CONVICTED Our OF HIS OWN MOUTH.
Jones, a negro, is in Jail for a
burglary on Mr. Millions store at Halle
hurst. The circumstances of his detec-
tion are peculiar, and the work was done
by Detective E. A. Wilson, who found
nothing in the way of clue except an
apple, out of which two bites had been
taken. He at once noticed that the two
front teeth of the bitter were not only ir-
regular, but peculiar. He imagined that
when the bitter was boy an old tooth re-
naming in the gum caused new tooth
to grow one-sided. The apple was placed
in water so as to prevent shriveling, and
keeping his secret to himself. Wilson
went down to Bailey, where he knew a
number of loafug negroes. q.
Walking into store he bought some
apples, and, biting one, said to a we'll
dressed negro who had attracted his at
tention, "Try one" The negro accepted
the gift, and when he raised the apple tt
his mouth for second bite the handcuffi
was a more astonisked negro. He wal
under arrest SO quickly that he was una
BILE to offer any resistance. He gave hi
name as Chandler Jones, and was fount
to be wearing q suit of clothes and ;
watch and chain taken from Mr. Milton.
Jones was taken to the store, where b
showed how he obtained entrance on tn
night of the burglary, and how the frs
thing he saw was barrel of apples. 81
picked up one, and after two bites laid
down on Mr. Millions desk.-Mdcon Tel

Collegians VS.. Apprentices.

The question is often asked why edu-
Gated young men do not succeed az we'll
In obtaining employment as do boys who
have grown up in trade, and received
their education and experience along
wit the hard knocks commonly called
getting the eye teeth cut" That the
fact, as thus stated, is true cannot be
denied. The precise reason would. per
haps, be hard to find, but there are many
things which the mind recurs to at once
as having bearing on the subject. d.
First, college-bred young men are with
out experience on the practical side of
life. The pushing, alert business man is
not particularly Impressed with the value
OF q college degree in forecasting the
market or determining the value Of "iob
lots" because he knows business is not q
collegians often give themselves superior
airs, which do not go down with their as
sociates, the majority of whom have re-
ceived honorable scars in their fight with
circumstances, and have little tenderness
for carpet knights. Moreover, the i'm
pressionable and formative period of life
having been spent in the school room,
they have not acquired that alertness,
that power to grasp business situation
or problem and instantly solve it. Moth
ing in their school books taught them the
shrewd, wstchful readiness competition
makes necessary. Their refined mental
discipline is almost useless, and at once
upon entering the field of trade they find
they have a great deal to unlearn. 1t is
not to be denied that three dollar clerk
ship and the slow, painful climb to bust
ness manhood must seem insulting to
. young fellow who can toss off Greek
hexameters on call, or deliver an oration
on Ciceronisn Latin. We are far from
denying the value of academic training to
the professional man, but the tradesman's 3
requirements are different.
Take the young fellow who left school
as soon as he had mastered the rule of
three, and entered upon the struggle for
existence. His mind was open to all i'm
pressions-he learned business without
knowing he was learning, as child learns
to talk. He has formed business habits
unconsciously. His mind was moulded
to alertness, rapidity of thought, promp-
titude of action, the requirements of busi-
ness character. Let us illustrate. Take
a little fellow of eight or nine years,

tai activity and practical knowledge and
shrewdness, the latter will run him to
cover in two minutes. Does not some
such difference exist between the edu-
Gated young man and the one to whom
business has been a matter of daily life
since early youth, which makes employ
ers prefer the latter !? Is there not some
way of CONFUSING an intellectual with a
practical business training which will

VOLUME XXXVH.-NUMBER 1898
The Old Rebel Yell.


A singular dramatic incident occurred in
Superior Court Room at Waynesboro dur
ing the trial of the Rogers brothers for
the killing of the Symses, father and son.
The killing occurred at McBean's Station
in October last. Eminent counsel has
been engaged by the prosecution and de-
ience, for both parties are prominent and
wealthy. The evidence closed and the
speaking began Friday morning, continu-
ing all through the day. When the court
assembled after tea the seats and the
aisles within the bar were crowded with
ladies, while without dense throng of
men filled up the auditorium. 1t was be-
fore this assembly that Mr. Twiggs began
his argument. Twiggs is an eloquent
speaker, practised and noted for bis ora
torical graces. In the course of his three
hours address he at one time referred in
the most feeling manner to the courage
and devotion of women. The hour, the
occasion, the audience and the dim light
from which the rapt faces we're bent upon
him all combined to form . surrounding
we'll calculated to inspire the orator to his
greatest effort. He closed the address
upon the women as follows: SAT the
battle of Gettysburg Gen. Pickett was
| ordered to begin the charge which was to
make him famous. As he went into the
terrible battle his young bride on horse
back followed him. When the hail of death
was beating down men on al sides, and
| the plugging shot and shell mingled their
| fierce screams with the means and cries of
the mangled, Pickett suddenly found him
self in the presence of his wife. In an
agony of fear for her safety he cried out to
her as she sat cool and collected as vet
eran: 60 back! Go back For Gods
sake, go back to the rear = NO. replied
the devoted woman, sin the hour of dan
ger the wife's place is by her husbands
side.'" At this moment throughout the
court room there rang out wild, thrill
ling cry, which nearly lifted the excited
throng to its feet. 1t was the old rebel
yell heard upon a hundred battlefelds
and never to be forgotten. A deep silence
followed. All eyes were turned towards
the outer circle. Then Judge Royne's
cold voice was heard bidding the Sheriff
to arrest the offender. A man was seen
lodging through the crowd, and the Judge
continued, "The man leaving is probably
the one wanted" "No, judge" exclaimed
a voice slowly; 81 am the man." The
speaker stood in the aisle with folded arms,
quietly contemplating the Bench. 81

and just could not help from hollering."
The ladies present sprang to their feet,
and in an instant the money was made up
and paid to the clerk. The involuntary
yell of the old soldier was an irresistible
tribute to womanhood.- Houston Post.

Cotton GOODS MADE IN THE SOUTH
Every steamship that sails out of the
ports of Charleston, Wilmington, Port
Roy al and Savannah now is. in no small
part, loaded with cotton fabrics, instead
Of unmanufactured cotton exclusively, as
was formerly the case; and, we have it
from Bradstreet's that Southern mills are
exporting more cotton fabrics to China
than all New England. The truth is, the
manufacture of cotton is increasing much
faster at the South than in New England,
for the simple reason that cotton manu-
featuring industry has better prospects
for growth at the South than at the North,
so that the New England concerns are
being crowded to the wall.

A Lost Orphan age.

The citizens of Wilson, during the war,
gave more than $4,000 to establish an
Orphansge in their town. .a..-
1t was to be for the children of sol.
ders who had been killed or disabled in
the war. A beautiful site was selected
and an excellent building erected. After
the war, the Supreme Court decided that
it was 10 aid of the rebellion and the
property was lost.
During a recent visit to Wilson. we saw
the lot and the building which has been
converted into handsome residence. One
OF the judges justly said that it was not
reasonable to suppose that a man would
have entered the rebellion, exposed him
self to death simply that his children
might have chance of being educated in
the Orpbanage. 1t is to be regretted that
the property was so shamefully lost.-Ec

How Crow Really Tastes.

"How did it really taste ?"
The question was put to Prof Z. l..
Morse, the young Harvard man who paid
an election bet by eating dish of crow
in south Chicago Sunday. 1t was put
seriously to the Professor as an educated
man capable of describing his experience
by gourmet who is not averse to treat
ing his palate to new sensation when
properly recommended. ii
"It has a decided gamy flavor" said the
professor. 'To persons fond of wild meat
this will not be drawback. The flavor,
in fact, is not as strong as that of some
;woodcock or even rail have eaten. The
crow ate was probably young, as it was
tender-nearly as tender as half grown

"Now, honor, bright, can you recon-
mend it ?" GEs.#.gy
"That depends" refectively answered
the Professor. 'You see this bird has so
long posed as a creature of ill-omen, it is
blessed with so coarse an appetite itself,
and tradition and common opinion have
80 long msligned it that I couldn't recon-
mend it to one whose palate is much af-
fected by his imagination. But 20 man
who can sit down to a table oblivious of
superstition and ridicule, say crow
might take its place along with prarie
chicken or woodcock on his menu. can
say for myself that I should have thought
the bird I ate belonged to one of the edible
game species, without any suspicion of
crow, had I not known beforehand what
it was" ~

"By no means. 1t would not surprise
me to see crow take its place at Delmoni

Cotton Fa brio a Substitute for Jute for
Bale Covers.

The new plan of using a cotton fabric
for covering cotton bales, instead of jute,
is finding favor at the South. The cotton
cover, it appears, is the most economical,
the saving being equivalent to a gain of
lbs. of cotton per bale, as follows:
