vailing the products of the mills
find reader sale and their business
is steadier and admits OF perhaps 6
better profit than when the price Of
the raw material is high.
It is not true that cotton mills
clear 20 to 40 per cent annually
Some mills admirably equipped and
admirably managed may two o,
three years together get in such
unusual work, but the ordinary
profit OF we'll established mills runs
between 5 and 10 per cent, and
many mills earn nothing.
1t is not true that any 100000
bale crop ever sold at the same price
as an 100000 bale crop. Neither
is it true that any farmer who sells
his cotton at 8 cents ever pays "2O
to SO cents" a pound for the very
cotton he sold. We have seen a
piece of lace that sold at the rate of
say ten thousand dollars a pound,
while the raw material in it was not
worth q dollar.
And so when farmer buys piece
OF calico at seven cents q yard, or
half dollar a pound, he is pay
ing about eight cents a pound for
the cotton in it which he sold for
eight cents, and AZ cents for the
work and cost of manufacturing,
and the cost of handling. with mer-
chants profits, &c, &c.
The freight on a pound of cotton
to the mills and back is som ething,
but comment should be made only
on the profit realized by the trans
portation companies. The profit is
so small that it of itself cannot af-
feet to any considerable extent the
cost of tho article. ALI such thin 2s
should be investigated and the
charges between the farmer and the
mills should be eliminated as far as
possible; but we're all the charges
eliminated, the farmers would still
lose money if they made excessive
crops. There is but one way to
maintain good prices and that is
not to have a supply greatly in ex-
cess OF the demand.

THE CITY ADMINISTRATION.

His Honor Mayor Badger, Chief
OF Police Heartt, and the entire city
administration have cause to feel 3
pardonable pride at the endorse.
ment which they have received at
the hands of the Raleigh public.
The test Of men in public Office is
the endorsement of the people, who
have the right to judge them and
who express that right with their
ballots.
The present city administration
has been entirely satisfactory to the
people of Raleigh, and they en-.
pAasized that fact with their votes
In every Democratic ward on Mon.
day night.
HE News AND OBSERVER said on
March 31st: "His Honor Mayor
Badger has presided with dignity
and great credit as Raleighs Mayor
Tor two years, and his thorou ghly sat-
lsiactory tenure of that Office would
seem to entitle him to the endorse
ment which re election would give
him,
"Chief of Police Charles D Heartt
has held his place with discretion
and honor so many years, and rem
dered such faithful, gentlemanly
and acceptable service in that Office.
that little opposition to him is to be
heard.
"The entire administration for the
past two years has been one of prog
ress and freedom from complaint
IL mas gwen satisfaction to the pub
llc' There appears to be no cry
among the people for change"
The people of Raleigh by their
action on Monday night endorsed

USE OF BEACH PEBBLES.

They Arc Caught Up in Funny Looking
Scoop and Sold for Gravel.
Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sandy
shore of Lake Michigan nobody knows
how long are used as commercial
commodity in Chicago. They eventual
" find themselves sticking in hot tar
and making the gravel part of gravel
roofs; crushed under heavy rollers for
street pavements; and packed away
solidly as the base of maidstone side
walks.
The most interesting operation
through which these bright-colored
bits go is the gathering. Men clad in
trousers rolled up to the knees, shirt
and straw hat, wade along the beach
where the water line makes the peb-
bles show clearly. In their hands is a
sort of net and hoe combined. The hoe
part is an open iron frame with thin
shoe where the edge of the blade would
be. Stretched on this frame and bend
ing at an angle of forty-fve degrees is
a stout wire net. With the shoe the
gravel is lifted from the beach and
drawn back into the net, through
which the adhered sand percolates.
Having filed net the workman
with peculiar fling lands the load
against sieve perched upon wagon
The sieve allows the pebbles of com
mercial size to pass through into the
wagon and rejects those too large
which fall back pattering into the road
Itis common thing to see two and
three wagons at time punched along
the beach in Lake View, each attended
by bare-legged man with one of the
peculiar gravel scoops in his hands =

The white House Carpet.

If any ocular proof of the persistence
of office-seekers is needed, it exists in
the White House carpets They look
as if they could never be made to smile
again. The one on the stairs leading
to the office best shows what the impa-
tient feet of the ninety-nine thousand
would-be government employees have
accomplished. 1t is a heavy Administer,
held in place by long nails with big
steel heads, instead of stair rails. The
nail is fully three inches long, but since
the rush there is a decided scarcity OF
the shining heads, and the tread of the
office-seeker has pulled out even these
great spikes, and a couple of dozen OF
them have been picked up and put
away. The carpet looks as if regi'
ment of giants had been executing a
double shuttle on the stairs for the last
month. Any extra demand for stain
carpet at the White House ought to be
granted without demur by the con
gressmen who have brought the Office

Yet from the IONS of this young con-
monwealth sprang regiment of men
who made a charge more wonderful in
its daring, more terrible in its result,
more rich in its legacy of loyalty than
any that preceded 1.-THE most heroic
charge of history
The hot July sun was zenith-high
upon the field of Gettysburg that dire
full day in the midst of the fiercest bat
tie of the centuries. Gallant Gen
Hancock, reaching the spot where the
union line was being forced backward,
halting his furiously ridden horse,
called out:
What regiment is that?"
"The First Minnesota"
"Charge those linesw
A charge into eternity that order
meant. At double-quick, without dis
charging gun, with the concentrated
fire of the confederate army pouring
a leaden rain of death upon them-at
double-quick, then at full speed, they
charged into the enemy's advancing
ranks. Gen. Hancock saw that a five
minutes respite meant the arrival of
reenforcements and turning of the
tide of battle. He sacrificed this noble
regiment'in those fearful i've minutes,
and the position was held. The charge
saved the day, but eighty-two per cent.
of the men who made the charge were
left on the field. Nearly every officer
was dead or mortally wounded, of the
two hundred and siXty-two men who
made the charge two hundred and ff-
teen were shot down by the bullets of
the cenemy; forty-seven were still in
line. Judge Lochren, of Minneapolis,
now commissioner of pensions, in his
description of the charge, of which he
was one of the very few survivors,
says:
THE annals of war contain no par
allel to this charge. In its desperate
valor, complete execution, successful
result, and it's sacrifice of men in pro-
portion to the number engaged, au-
thentlc history has no record with
which it can be compared. ."-Harper's

Novelty Quilt.

If you want something quite new in
the shape of a bedspread you can
initiate one that was recently sent to
young homemaker by her friends across
the sea in London. The material is
cotton and resembles Bedford cord.
The pattern consists of four large DAT
fodils punched together with leaves,
the stems being tied with ribbon. This
design is set in each corner, far enough
from the border to be seen as a square
group when the bed is made. To make
this spread trace the pattern upon the
right side of the cloth. On the other
side, directly under the pattern, sew
coarse, white Brussels lace, work the
outline in very coarse whitewash-silll
floss over cord. Let this line of but
ton-hole stitch be solid and even. Then
cut the cotton material away, leaving
the lace as filing. Upon the lace en-
broider the interior of the daffodils in
yellow silk, shading them from the
center outward in satin stitch. Make
similar cluster of the blossoms in the
center of the spread. Finish the edge
with binding of the material with a
row of cross-stitch just above and a
slightly fulled rufle four inches wide

War has at least one use-it reveals the
! difference between real bravery and
mere combativeness, or the bullying
| quality, which shows itself for instance,
in the boy at school who is always
wanting to fight
Not long ago, in relating some of his
army experiences, well-known MEM
Der of the grand army, who was the
colonel OF regiment during the cival
war, dwelt in an interesting way on
this point.
IA schoolmate of mine, who was pop
ularly supposed to be the embodiment
of courage" the colonel said, was in
my regiment. He had thraahed me a
dozen times when we were boys
think he would have fought the prize
fighter, Heenan, with bare knucllles
and gloried in it, even if he knew he
would be whipped.
We'll, in the service he actually re-
quired Il sergeant's bayonet behind him
to keep him in the ranks. He would
funk at the first fire. The whistle of a
bullet reduced him to state of terror
that was pitiable.
During skirmish once found him
crouching behind log, his teeth chat
tering as if with ague 1 ordered him
to the front, and tins fellow who had
whipped me so often in days gone by,
literally begged me not to send him
there to be murdered. Finally he was
dishonorably discharged and drummed
out of the army for arrant cowardice
There was in my regiment another
young fellow who always showed the
white feather at school A boy half his
size could "pluff' him. He seemed to
have mortal dread of getting hurt

lieutenant's commission for gallantry
in the first battle in which he parti-
pated.
During the first days fighting at
Shiloh his left arm was shattered by
grape-shot. He went to the rear, had
his wound bandaged, returned and
stayed ut the front. He came out of
the war one-armed major, with rec
ord for heroic courage.
"Both of these men were brave men,
and both were towards in way. 1t
requires different kinds of courage to
fight with ones fists, and in a military
engagement. Some men may have both
kinds, but the combination is rare
one"
Certainly the courage of man who
stands steadfast in the ranks when bull
lets or cannon-shot are flying around
him is superior to that of the man who
is willing to face another with his fists.
1t comes much nearer to the quality of
moral courage, because it does not de-
pend on pugnacious impulse.
The brave days of DID," when men
fought hand to ha d with such
weapons as swords and axes, were
rot, after ALL as brave as those of mod
egn warfare. Then big fellow, who
had muscle and adroitness enough,
might hope to come out of the fight
with nothing worse than u wound.
Now the soldier faces what may be
instant death from an unseen foe.
The unseen danger is always the
most terrible, and the highest courags
