Water in Australia,

Some years ago | ventured to assert in
these pages that the future of Australia for
the next thirty years rested with the engi-
necrs. The recent discoveries of under.
ground rivers in the most arid portions of
the continent have given those words a
greater significance The difficulty of Aus
tra!la has always been the fear that the land
will not support a large population These
discoveries of water diSpel that fear. Il now
appears that the volumes of rain which fall
about once i'll five years over the greater
part of the Australian continent, covering
with foods the plains which for four years
previously have not known more moisture
than might be given in England by good
fall of dew, find their way through the
porous soils into channels and chambers be-
meath the surface, where, at depth of 1000
or 1000 feet, they provide an inexhaustible
store of the most precious commodity known
to the Australian squatter.
1t Is impossible to say at present how the
use or these underground supplies of water
may change the face of the Australian con
tinent. The overflow from one bore, at q
place called Kerribree, has already cut a
channel of several feet in depth through the
sand, and now forms a permanent river of
several miles m length in what used to be an
absolutely waterless country. 1t is only to
be expected that as more water is brought to
the surface, the clouds will take up more
moisture by evaporation and the rainfall
will increase. Then with regular rainfalls
and inexhaustible tanks and creeks, even the
Australian squatter might begin to be con
tented. -Macmillan's Magazine

a Hundred Tons OF Money,

1t hardly seems possible that the nloney
paid in one month for a teu-cent article,
could. if pennies were used in payment
weigh one hundred tons. Yet one of our
bright school boys has figured that this is
true OF Diamond Dyes. 70 Judge from the
stocks of our dealers in dye stuffs, Dia-
mOnd Dyes own the field Of package dyes,
and are complete success. Of course
they have imitatOTS. Nothing is a sue
cess until initiated" But no one wants to
risk counterfeit when a genuine can be
obtained at the same price. Three new
col0's have lately been added to the list
Of Diamond Dyes: Fast Stocking Black.
Turkey Red for Cotton, and Brown for
Cotton. The manufacturers. Wells, Rich
ardson & Co, Burlington, Vt, will send
colored samples Of these new dyes. with
book OF directions, to any address, free of
charge. These additions seem to have
made the line so complete that any shade
can be matched with some color of Dia-
mond Dyes. The beautiful sample book
of shaded colors. lately sent to all dea lers
i'll dyes, will delight the eye Of any lady.
" It's easy to dye with Diamond DYES" is
50 absolutely true that home dying is no
longer difficult and disagreea BILE task.
AlmanacS, with their hints as to proper
times for difficult work, tell Us that now is
the time for spring Gyeing. This, together
with the thought Of that hundred tons of
money, leads us to ask what school boy c: n

While God rules, why should man
boast OF his power.
When woman is mean she is meaner
than a man. This is because woman
always go to extremes.
1t is estimated that the smallest
human being in existence is one that
subscrlbes for paper never intending

Our deepest SORROWS reveal the finest
and most exquisite features of the soul.
The rose yields the sweetest perfume

More fortunate by far, is he who
possesses business tact experience and
self faith than he who has nothing on

Have a noble aim, put your trust in
God, keep your conscience clear and
you can shake your fist under the
worlds nose and never bat your eyes.
A great many people seem to think
all an editor has to do is to sit still
and take IN the dollars. For the en-
llghtenment of such it is we'll to state
that for the amount of capital and
business energy required and the nee
essary expense attached to it, there is
scarcely anything in which there is so
little profit as country journalism, and
as for honor-bah
sometimes our enemies are not as
iofmldable as those we count among
our trends. Often our grief and as
constituent, do we find the greatest
obstacles heaped up in our pathway
by those on whom we have near
and natural claim, and from whom we
have right to expect sympathy and
encouragement. 1t is safe to be pre-
pared for opposition and assault from
any quarter.

Will the Wrapper Supply Hold Out.

For once in the history of the tobacco
trade we are facing a wrapper famine
ferhapS the supply has never before been
SO inadequate TO the demand We enter a
year with an increased number of factories
going to work. AS a rEle these factories
expect to work more largely than thev
have for years. We estimate that here and
in Winston the intention of the mannfac-
tIrers is to work fully % per cent more tn.
bacco this year than they did last. But lust
here the very strange and some NAV think
trivial question faces us Are there
enough wrappers in the country to suppIv
the demand before another crop reaches
the market"' We do not believe the sun
ply is adequate to the wants of our MANN
factories. Manufacturers do not hold large
stocks. they are all short on wrappers and
brokers' have only small and scattering
iotS on hand 1t is fOregone conclusion
mat they are not in the new crop, and so
where are they To come from? The asser-
ton may seem little Eighty in these times
but we do believe that before the sum-
mer is over some factories will be forced
to close work for the want of wrapping
stock unless they resort to the use of
very inferior leaf for that purpose. AS
word OF warning we would say to the man
u1acturer, Buy supply of wrappers if
you con get them, even at what does seem
to be eXorbitant prices" Better paw the
price now than wait later and then have to
beg for stock and pay the prices ALSO
And to the farmer: The man who grows
fine bright leaf this year can expect to sell
it at prices that will make his pocket book
swell with complacent pride-DanoiIks !

n CORRESPONDENT writing from

Headlight, says this on the subject of
the management of that road:
Who shall be the next President of
the y, & n. G. Railroad, seems to be
the topic ofthe day with good many
of our people. We want man thor
ou9hly competent, up with the times,
and economical in his administration,
and we think Mr.. Washington Bryan
possesses all these qualities and there
fore ought to be his own successor.
Mr.. Byran has made US a good Presi-
dent, given us better freight rates and
stopped ''dead heads" from riding on
the cars. Mr.. Byran is the right man
in the right place, faithful to his duties,
working for the interest of the road
and the people. What more is desired
1t is the earnest wish of our people that
Gov. Fowle shall reappoint HIM.

ally:

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record offers as a solution to the race
problem the bringing of skilled white
labor into the South, the establishment
of manufactures and the building up
of home industries The two races
could, by this means, be speedily
equalized as to numbers, and under such
conditions act as a wholesome check
one upon the other. An excellent idea
and one which is in every practicable.
We are pleased to note that move
ment is already being made in that
direction ORPHANS Friend
This is our idea exactly, and as we
view it is the most feasible way of set
Ting the vexed and much discussed
race problem. Another good way is
to let the race question alone. We Of
the South know and understand the
negro and can get along with him
well enough without. any Northern in
reference. The negro is satisfied if
let alone to pursue the even tenor ofhis
way. The Republicans do dim harm
in their pretended concern about him
and his welfare.

A Bill was passed restricting the
ownership Of land in Kansas, over a
certain number Of acres, to the citizens
of the United States. 1t looks like a
mali ought to be allowed the privilege
of owning whatever, and as much OF
1t, as he wants to and can pay for, but
it must be admitted that many persons
in the South are land poor-they have
too much=-more than they can well

pie must learn that 4 small farm well

after his election he is credited with
having uttered these words: elf am

qualifications for the duties to which
am called, it is serious and settled
purpose to do right, as it shall be
given me to see the right" In his in
augural address he said this: II have

special policy for any section of our
country" And why should President

APROPos of the defeat of the Rail
road Commission bill by the Legislature
of North Carolina, we publish the fol-
lowing from the Gorham, New Hamp-
shire, 1l0antemteer, regarding the work
ings Of the Inter State law. That paper
says:
The workings of the Inter State law
are beginning to show up where they
are least expected. For the first time
in years the c. 3. and @. railroad
stock has gone down below par. The
decline amounts to about $50 a share.
This stock is largely owned by New
England people of moderate means,
who have invested in hopes OF receiv-
ing a regular income to relieve the
necessities Of life. In this case the IN
ter-State law has deceived the people.
They were made to believe that legis-
lators know great deal more about
running railroad than the directors
or managers, whose interests will not
allow them to do injustice to their
patrons unless by complusion of law,
A few capitalists are benefited, as they
intended to be, by their ring-workings,
at the expense Of the public; and the
sooner the law is repealed the better it
will be for the business welfare of the
country. AS general thing the peo-
pie appreciate and respect railroad cor
porations and naturally show it by lib
eral support and encouragement, but
you cannot legislate mans DISPOSE
ton Or compel him to submit grace
fully to unnatural laws by artificial
means. 'sThey are not built that way
