THE MIRROR is weekly paper published
in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
in 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man.
aged by them. Its objects are to be home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans selfredemption.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue a surplus of funds, the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

all their professions to the contrary,

had any serious intention of remaining

18th of April was buried in Riverside
Cemetery, overlooking the beautiful
French Broad river, about which he
wrote poetic words in life. has become
the object of the most unfortunate
wrarele in the immediate family of
the beloved dead Last "Wednesday.
seven weeks after the interment, il
will be remembered, Mrs. Vance came
to Asheville and very quietly had the
remains of the Senator removed from
the grave in the old Vance lot in
Riverside Cemetery to the spot that
she had chosen and purchased for the
purpose. This is the highest and most
beautiful part of the cemetery. and
1t was planned that the monument to
Vance 6 memory should he erected
over this spot.
But the body wac rot destined to
remain IN its new grave long. Chas.
n. Vance learned of the removal and
came here Saturday evening. Some
time Saturday night or before day Sun
day morning the remains were again
disinterred and placed in the family
plat where they were first buried. be-

SrARTASBURe, S. C.-Our cotton
mill men are beginning TO make
hner goods than the grades heretofore
manufactured. In this county the
Gaffney mill WAS the first tc lead off in
the manufacture of cloth used for the
better grades Of bleacbed goods. DR..
Fleming and the directors of the new
mill going up near Wexford con.
template making print cloth, provided
the outlook for that grade is encourag-
ing. Any way they will spin and
weave fine goods The mill AZ Union
1s turning out fine goods also and
they are now going on the market with
them.
1t was stated in Northern paper
that the Gaffncy mill was the only one
In the State making fine goods That
was an error, for the new mill ut
Bamberg. of which w. G.. Smith is the
president and general manager, haa
been making fine grade OF goods
since 1T started. A sample has been
received of their yard wide goods,
9S-I2, made of % warp and 80 TO 40
filling. This has more thread in the
warp and pick than the Gnffney goods.
IT Is beautiful in texture and smooth
and even throughout. The same grade
of goods b'eached ranks with the very
best products of any mill. The BAN
berg mill also makes n specially Of fine
warps for lace curtains. A sample
curtain made from 24.2 ply warp has
also been sent for inspection here.
THIS is also very fine work and the
curtain is handsome and substantial.
They run these curtain yarns as high
ms 40
These samples Of goods indicate that
the Bamberg mills is doing tirst-class
work and they are running 1000 spin
dies on those fine numbers. Spart-
anburg is rather proud of that enter
perprise, because President Smith is n
Spar tanburg man. He learned the
mill business under n. f.. Converse,
and so faithful wns he in the discharge
of his duties that when the Bamberg
people wanted a man to take charge of
their mill Mr.. Smith was selected.
These varied manufactures will give
cotton mills an impetus in this State.
With all the water power in this State
and the improved machinery il will
not he many years before the cotton
crop of South Carolina will be manu-
factured at home. One of these days
b'cachery will Se built on some OF
the clear mountain streams and then
print works will follow. Whenever
our capitalists begin to talk about n
bleaching establishment in this State
they are told that the water will not
do, that the climate is not favorable,
or something of that sort. II is the
same old story that was told when the
erection of mills was begun after the
war. People were informed that
coarse goods might be manufactured
in the South, hut that il would be
folly to attempt the finer grades. But
Carolians have learned better now.
and soon they will prove that cloth
can he bleached in this State and that
print works may he successfully
