A TYR UsT THREATENED.

All eyes are on the "trusts" and every.
 body Is interested in seeing how their gipan-
 tic schemes are coming out. To some it looks as If the whole world would soon be
 run by big trust, and others believe that
 the trusts, at least most of them, will be
 beaten, having undertaken more than they
 can carry out. One Of them-the Cotton
 seed Oil trust-seems to be already in dan
 ger. It is related that MT. D. A. Tompkins
 and the Oliver brothers, the most notedly
 successful oil-mill builders and managers in
 the country, who organized and built the
 eight large mills of the Southern Oil com-
 pany in opposition to the trust, and their
 friends, are now building several very large
 mills to average probably $2OO, 1000 each in
 cost. The Manufacturers Record says of the
 matter. 1.-the trust-is loaded down with
 many old mills that never can be operated at proft-mills that were started when the industry was first developed, equipped with old machinery put into old buildings never intended for such uses. It is not surprising, therefore, that it cannot find purchasers for these mills. We doubt if it could give them away if the receiver had to agree to operate them. As to the large number of new mill projects in South Carolina, they are mainly by local men who are not working up booms. The companies have been chartered by the State, and the character of the men who have organized them is a guarantee that they mean to build. In fact, contracts have been signed for the construction of nearly all these mills and for full equipment of machinery. Moreover these mills will have the latest machinery, and that means a great Heal, for the improvements in oil machinery turing the last few years have almost revolu- Itonized this business
 The scheme looks feasible The trust can hardly afford to buy out all The mills that | ,an be built.

Want to See the Parades.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Citizens residing in the eastern part of the city wonder why our public prooessions, especially in the summer, do not generally go around the new green (Wooster Square), thus giving hundreds of ladies and children on- portunity for seeing the parades while enjoy ing the luxury of shade and freedom from the crowd. To surround this or any other park upon three sides also gives the paraders themselves glimpse of the procession, an important and pleasing feature which should never be ignored in planning the route for a procession. As rule all cities that can boast Of park centrally located lay out their paraoes accordingly, especially when the park is surrounded by beautiful and shady streets, as in the present case. New York city would not think public parade worth having unless it could surround Washington square. A DOWN TOWN CITIZEN,

 A correspondent of the Western Mail tur- nlshes some interesting particulars of the early years of Mir. H. M. Stanley. When young Rowlands-as Stanley was, of course. known before he was adopted by the gentle man who took him to America-attended the St. Asaph Union school the schoolmaster had such high opinion of him that he used to put him in charge of the schoolboys dur. ing his absence. The boy was quite equal to the task of maintaining discipline. He would | allow no one to question his authority. Rather than suffer any one to take liberties with him he would give the boys a good thrashing all round, and this he used to do so efectually that no boy was found bold enough to dispute his authority. The boz was particularly fond of geography and and seemed never so happy as when, pointer in hand, he was allowed to ramble at his own sweet will over the face of the map. He seemed to his fellow pupils to have the latitude and longitude of each place at his fingers ends. He was also good penman, and on this account was often selected by the porter to enter the names of visitors in book kept for that purpose, and 1t times he was even invited into the clerks ! office to help with the accounts.

 It was about two o'clock when A small dark-complexioned, blaok-eyed man, wear. ing spectacles, came down to the pier. He had with him jointed fish rod plain, un- painted box about fourteen inches souare. with small iron handle on top. A small slide like the switch on the keyboard of s telegraph instrument projected from the other side of the mysterious box.
 Selecting g good place, the little man planted his box on the edge of the pier. He then jointed the rod and stuck the butt end of it into hole in the front side of the box. from which it projected over the water at an angle of thirty degrees. In place of a line he had thin wire made of annealed steel. This passed around a reel near the butt of the rod and then on into the box. The bus- iness end of the wire ran through an eve at the other end of the rod, and he threw il overheard. Just below the reel and sbove the rod was hinge. which enabled the fish-
