The most conspicuous friend of Amer
lea during the war of the revolution
was the Marquis de Lafayette, who,
though he belonged to one of the Oldest
families of France. came to help the
colonies in their struggle for independ-
ence and republican government by
lighting for them. He was warm
friend of Gen. Washington, who had
strong affection for the Young French
man. and when LAFAYETTE visited the
United States nearly fifty years after
the revolution, he was received with
greater honors than have ever been
paid by the American people 20 any

IDLE FIELDS IN THE SOUTH.

Plenty OF Suitable Land Ready TOR CUIt1.
Walton in South Carolina.
The principal cause of the abandon
ment of so much rice land in South
Carolina is the lack of capital. due to
heavy losses sustained by the planters
during the late war. They were left
without working capital and the
means to employ labor, and freshets
had broken the bikes and filed up the
canals and bitches SO that it would
have required considerable outlay OF
money to have put the rice planta-
tions in their former condition There
is no lack of the best rice lands in the
state, with good water facilities.
which can, according to the Boston
Herald. be purchased for a merely
nominal sum. Another reaso-i Why so
much of the rice land has been aban-
doned is the scarcity and inefficiency
of the negro labor, the good labor hav-
ing been drawn away by other indus
tries which afford better pay. There
is every opportunity for the intro
duction of improved machinery, which
would do away with much OF the in
efficient labor in tie building up and
repairing of bikes, canals, etc, and
machinery could also be used in the
preparation of the land and the cult
walton and harvesting of the crop. 1t
is not unusual to find plantations of
ten thousand acres, with perhaps half
of this amount of land available for
rice culture. in narrow strip along
the river front from half mile to a
mile in width, and it is quite possible
for anyone starting in with sufficient
capital to secure the finest rice lands
at very low price. and by the intro
duction of improved methods, and es-
pecially by the Introduction of inn
proved machinery, to be largely indie
pendent of the scarcity and irefiiciency
of the labor. The cultivation of rice
is very expensive undertaking, and
as a rule it can be carried on much
more economically on a large scale
than on small one, and proba bly, for
the production of no other purely ag
ricultural crop are capital and strict
business meth DDS SO necessary as for
the production Of rice by the method
of water culture, of which there is an
abundant supply, which comes down
laden with the most fertile portions
of the soils of the up country. It
would seem that here was a fine field
for the employment of dormant north
ern capital, which if rightly applied
would bring in large returns.

Curious Point of PhiloioCY.

It has been found in the case OF
primitive river names in the Old World
that syllable meaning water occurs
once at least, and in many instances
several times, in the same name. From
this philologists have been able to
trace successive conquests, as each
conquering tribe added his own name
for water or river to the syllables al
ready forming the names of streams
within the conquered district. The
same thing has happened in this coun-
try, as the whites have tackled the
word river to many Indian names al
ready containing the word.

BUILDING TRADES CONGRESS.

Labor Discussed.

transacted.
r. E. Nelson was elected to the Office OF
treasurer. The new delegates obligated
Carpenters and Alfred Brown from the
StonecutterS.
1t was reported that the contractors
OF the copper refinery were not living up
to their contract in regard to employing
Salt Lake Workmen as far as practicable,
outside men being imported from Mon
tana and other places. The men were
also asked to pay insurance money or hos
pital fund; men who were insured in
other societies and would not pay into
that company could not keep a job there.
| 1t was ordered that a communication be
sent to the Businessmen 8 association,
also TO the copper refinery company, ask
ing them to remedy this grievance, as it
was not productive of any good result.
| Considerable discussion arose in the re-
gard to the number of building permits
published by the press, some members
claiming that the same permit had been
published three and four times, which
report has tendency to mislead working
men outside of this city.
The statement of r. G. Sleater, contra
dieting the report of a committee of this
congress, in regard to the employment of
Italian CONTRACT labor by the Culmer Jen-
ming Paving Company, was severely con-
demned, as untrue and unbecoming to a
