A GOOD idea.

MIR. A " Will Bring His
Mineral water Into the City.
+. J. Armstrong, who lives in Chunn's
cove, about two miles east of Asheville,
received permission from the board of
aldermen last night to lay line of pipes
from his house across the mountain and
through one of the streetsto apoint near
Court place. His object is to bring water
from his spring to the city and keep the
water on sale.
The spring furnishes an excellent chalyb-
cate water, which has been much sought
for by visitors to the city. The expert
ment will, no doubt, be paying one.
Mr., Armstrong has contracted with ].
W. Garrett. of Spartanburg, for the con-
struction OF the line. The power is to be
furnished by Garrett hydraulic motor,
of which Mr. Garrett is the inventor.
Work is to be begun very soon, and will
be pushed to completion.

College for the thirty eighth year-a
handsome book of 50 pages-shows that
this institution is making gratifying pro
gress. The number of students increas
ed last year and they came from eleven
States, Indian Territory, Mexico and Ja-
pan. The record for general scholars
ship was the best in the history of the

equipped and much apparatus purchas-
ed for the Department of Chemistry and
Physics to which Prof. W. A. Smith re-
turned after three years study in Ger
man Universities. Next year Prof. w.
F. Morehead, who has spent three years
in the study of languages in the Univer-
ties of Berlin and Leipsic will return to
the College to take the chair of English

ment Fund was increased $4,000 last
session. The College is sharing in the
new growth and prosperity of Salem,
and the outlook in general is decidedly
cheering The regular College classes
will be unusually large next session and
considerable increase in the number
of students is expected. For the advan-
tages offered the College is very econom-
ical and its location is one of the
best in America The Catalogue, a copy

A Pertinent Question

The Pittsburg Dispatch has the follow
ing on How to meet (Southern) Compe-
tition'' in the steel trade:
''It is reported that a million dollar
corporation to manufacture steel will be
built at Birmingham. Ala. 1t is to be
supposed that an enterprise of that mag
nitude has not been entered into with
out due investigation of the availability
of the materials of that section for steel
making. Heretofore this has been a
doubtful if not negative quantity, but it
is necessary to recognize that if actual
experience should demonstrate the abili-
ty of turning out good steel in Alabama
region a powerful competitor of the
Pittsburg steel interest will be brought
into the field.
This is a perfectly legitimate enter
prise, and Pittsburg can only regard the
prospect of additional competition with
the friendly rivalry that is the feature OF
honorable competition. But one of the
est when confronted by new competition
is to consider how it can strengthen
itself SO as to be superior to loss of trade
This is the evident point which Pitts
burg needs to consider in view of the
possible growth OF a large and active
steel industry in the South.
The advantage which the Southern
steel industry will have, if it establishes
it's industrial right to existence, will bt
the close proximity of ore and coal
Pittsburg cannot secure such proxim
! ity of ore and coal Pittsburg cannot
secure such proximity but it can dc
what is equivalent to it, namely, estab
blish continuous water transportation
between them. If it is made possible tt
bring ore vessels to the furnaces anG
mills of Western Pennsylvania, the econ
omy of Northern Alabama in the trans
portatiOn OF materials will be more thar
counter balanced by the superior quality
of the Pittsburg products and our cen
trail position with reference. to their dis
tributlon.
In other words, the extension of LAKE
navigation to Pittsburg, means tina
Western Pennsylvania can be PLACED
above all competitors in the iron, stee
and coal industries. That fact shoult
unite every citizen of Pennsylvania il
support of the project

Crop Prospect !.

A dispatch from London dated the
Goth says:
The Times summarizes the harvest
prospects of the world as follows: In
Russia there is grave deficit; the peas
antry starving, with small hope of re-
lief. In India there is serious anxiety; a
famine prevails over considerable por-
tions. There is a drought in Bengal,
and the need of more rain is urgent.
Bombay alone promises a good harvest.
The American harvest is good in quality
and amount. But with the failure of
Indian Russian supplies of the utmost
Importance, that the English crop shall
not be short, the prospect on the whole
is good. In the chief wheat countries
the crop is above the average, and in
other countries up to the average. The
harvest will be late and prices high
There is, therefore, a good outlook for
the English farmer to break the long
series of disastrous years.

the beginning of another period of ac>
tivity for the furnace of which Sheffield
is justly proud. The furnace has been
out of blast for some months undergoing

creased, and it will no doubt surpass its
past record which is unequalled by any
furnace, except, perhaps, by the Hattie

A Jeweled Altar.
A dispatch dated Round Lake, N. Y
Tu1V ia saws.

July IS, says:
An extraordinary scene occurred at the Chris
tian Alliance meeting here this morning. Miss
+. Louise Shepard, of New York, wealthy
young lady who Joined the Alliance six months
ago, spoke from the platform and announced
that she had given all her jewels to the Lord
and now proposed to give $3.50 to pay the ex
penses of missionary to the heather. she
asked if any one would help her, and at once a
number of the congregation, men and women,
arose and donated their jewels rings, watches,
watch chains, rings, etc and money to the
same purpose until the little altar looked ike
a jewel case Miss Shepard was overcome by
the scene and could not restrain her tears.

Southern Cotton Mills.

The Boston Jo,t92aal of Commerce says
that many cotton factories at Fall River
''can hardly show any profit for the past
six months, and but small one for the
year, on account of the low price of the
goods which they make. These mills
are well managed and pushed for all
they are worth, yet fail to yield a profit.
During the same time most of the lead
ing mills in the South have made over
four dollars per spindle, and some Of
them almost six dollars The balance
sheet of one large mill that has just
closed it's accounts shows profit for the
last six months of nearly $3.50 per spin
die, thus proving that the South has
some advantages for manufacturing cots
ton goods that cannot be set aside. The
truth is we do not realize how fast that
portion of our country is acquiring the
art of making cotton goods. They are
fast upon the heels of the North, and
the only way we at the North can lead
the procession and run our mills to a
profit is to get on to finer goods-goods
that require more skill to uake'
This view of the case" says Brad
streets, lis undoubtedly true in the
main Southern competition with Fall
River. however, is indirect rather than
Direct
Just what this last sentence means we
are at a loss to understand. The fact
remains, however, that Southern com
petition is making itself felt among the
cotton men of the North, and their trade
is being damaged by the output of
| Southern mills to considerable extent.
The '.skill' spoken of by the Journal
of Commerce will come in time. The
South will prove itself an apt scholar in
| this regard.

The site for the plant of the Southern
Pine Fibre Company, to be built at Au-
gusta, Ga, has been selected and the
buildings will, it is reported, be erected
at an early date. President j. B. N.
Berry, of Baltimore, was in Augusta last
week and selected as a site three acres
across the river from Augusta. Two
brick buildings, one 11x50 and the other
75x5O, will be erected for factories. The
larger will be the fibre and the smaller
the soap factory. The exhaustless guam
titles of pine straw of South Carolina
and Georgia will furnish the raw material
for this concern. When the machinery
is all running it will employ about sew
enty>five hands. Three carloads pine
needles per day will be required to keep
the factory running up to it's capacity.
