is indeed most astonishing that such

feature by which the poor mao is not
only compelled to pay an undue share
for the suppors Of the Government, but
tax for the enrichment of monopolies.
it becomes a national ofen>e so rank
that it smells to heaven.
Take. for instance. the people Of
Orgon. and how very few. compara-
lively speaking. are benefited by
protective tariff; aud yet every man
not benefited is surely injured. There

tective tariff 1t ia the old game of

Under an income tax no such robbery
can prevail /; a man pays according TO

sanction of both common sense and
common honesty. The Roman peo-
pie. twenty-four centuries ago. changed
their system of taxation from per

pie should follow that just example.

income tax feature will be placed upon
the statute books never to be removed.

pie of small incomes % general thing
have larger families than the rich in al
countries. In this country, especially
in the North. large families among the
wealthy are not fashionable, so that the

That Alleged Rebate Matter,

Since the charge has been made
upon the stump that some one must
have secured rebates on the purchases
of dispensary liquor, gentleman in
Columbia has written to a prominent
liquor house in the West with the OBJ
ject of ascertaining something about
it. A reply came yesterday. The
writer say the whiskey trust has a
law which allows distributing houses
to sell to retailers without rebate
vouchers "It is the presumption" "
he writes, "that the State Of South
Carolina paid extra big prices for
what whiskey they bought. He
says that either the Mill creek Com
pany made great deal of money out
Of the sales or else somebody else did
on the extra profits. Governor I'LL

To the Editor Of the News and Cou-
rier: Your Hampton correspondent,
under date of June 13 gives an accoun.
of the murder Of Capt. James Mixson.
Continuing the correspondent says:
Minis. who is suspected of having
done the deed, is one Of rather pecu-
liar race Of people who live in the
river section of this county known as
Old Issue They are mixed race
and have never been slaves. They are
supposed to be descendants of Indians
and negroes. but nothing is definitely
known of their origin"
The right name Of the race, or rather
mixed race to which Minis belongs,
should be "Redbone. These people,
as your correspondent observes. are "a
rather peculiar race. and it seems the
irony of fate that We should have
cyclopadias giving accounts Of races 10
which we are not interested. and with
which we will never come in contact.
when right here in our State We have

it is race which is worthy Of etbno-

Many travellers have told Of the glories
Of Seville, to which ancient Moorish city
journeyed with all speed. Foreseeing that
it might be necessary for me- TO stop some
time in Seville, and being dcsirous to es-
cape notice and to be at the smallest ex-
pense possible, I bcthought me that It
would be well il 1 could find means Of con-
tinuing my studies Of medicine, and to
this end obtained certain introductions
from the firm Of merchants to whose care
had been recommended addressed to doc
tors Of medicine in Seville. These letters
at my request were made out not in my
own name, but in that Of Diego ALA,
for I did not wish it to bc known that
was an Englishman. Nor indeed was this
likely, except my speech should bctray me,
for, as have said, in appearance was
very Spanish, and the dlindrance Of the
Language was one that lessened every day,
since having already learned it from my
mother, and taking every opportunity to
read and speak it, within six months
could talk Castilian, except for some slight
accent like a native of the land; also

Cotton Mills.
How They Are Built on the In
stalment Plan.

The annexed letter from Mr. James
A. MuIyey. Of Portsmouth. Va, re-
Gently appeared in the Manufacturer s
Record, aud it is so full Of sound,
practical seose that ~e give it in its
'ntilety:
A glance u, the cities and towns in
which cotton mills were built in North
Carolina in 1898 shows they are places,
With one exception, of less than 5000
inhabitants. As only four Of these
mills are run by water power aud the
other ten by steam. is it not we'll for
the people Of other State to investigate
this industrial movement aud see If they
will not be able to follow the example
set by our North Carolina friends /
think they will be surprised TO Cad bow
EASY it is to build cotton mill in every
city and town tha. is located on rail-
road The North Carolina movement
has been founded on cooperation A
company is organised composed Of
president. board of directors secretary
and treasurer. The subscription lis. is
opened and payments on the stock sre
generally made at SO cents per week per
shsre. Thn enables every man,
whether mechanic Of capitalist, to take
as many shares Of stock :ae desired.
aud The payments see:so easy that where
it. would be Impossible to pay $3.50 or
$100 down. the payment Of 50 cents
per week is not felt. and che accumula-
tioss ron up until the subscriber be-
comes the posssessor Of stock on which
he can secure dividends If the mill has
been properly managed.
These mills are what are termed yaro
mills, and convert the raw cotton cost
ing 8 OF 9 cents per pound, into yarns
or warps. varying iu value from IA to
40 cen,s per pound. This product is
shipped to Eastern cities, where it is
readily disposed Of Formerly, the
cosrser grades Of yarns were made
in the Southern States, but during the
past Eve years great advancement has
been made aud many of the mills are
weaving the yarns into print cloths,
sbeetins, etc
The cos. of 5,00O-spiodle uill Ca
pable Of producing from No. 2s to No.

The COS. Of building would vary ac-
cording to material used. the location
aud conditions A plain brick mill
with tower would cost anywhere from
As to 20 cents per square foot of space.
This is much lower than can be attained
IN New Englapd on account Of cheaper
lumber, brick and labor. Ninety cents
is as low as usually attained by North
ern mills. Below will be found state
meDs which will give the cost Of com-

The above figures represent fair av'

be made 10 the cost.

mill ougb. to be from $4,000 to
$40, 600 to operate to the best advsn.
.age, although in the South. owing to
the ability Of the mills to buy cotton
At any and all times they are enabled to
manage their mills on smaller capital
than is considered advisable with the
same size plants in the North.
The question now arises can such a
mill be made to pay, and is the cotton
manufacturing business being o'erdone!
When We consider that in the city of
Manchester, England, alone, there are
more spindles employed in the manu-
facture of cotton goods than in the
SOtiTe UultcV OtStCe, ouu "u0o i0 'o
understood that in one Fall River
(Mass. mill built last year there were
placed more spindles than are con ntained
in the fourteen mills erected in North
Carolina in 1898. it will be seen that
twenty-five mills with from 5000 to
20. 900 spiodles could be erected in the
different cities and towns of Virginia,
and they would not supply more than
the output Of some of the Fall River
companies. TIE fact is, that cotton
manufacturing in the United States is
in it's infancy, and every day it becomes
more apparent that cotton msoufaotu-
ring is gradually drifting nearer the
base of supply.

A Canadian climber, the physianthus
aliens, has received the name of ''cruel
plant" from its Entertainment of hut
terflies. 1t flowers in the month of
August, and the butterflies, attracted
by the perfume, hover around it in
large numbers and push their trunks
into the corollas to sip the honey. A
pair of sensitive vegetable pinchers in
the heart of the flower grips the deli
cate proboscis, and in spite of strug-
giles to get free the butterfly hangs
suspended, as shown, until it dies. APP
parcntly the plant has nothing to gain
by the death of the insect, and it is not
''carnivorous" like the Venus fly-trap
In fact, if the butterfly were allowed to
come and go it would tend to foster
the species by assisting cross-fertiliza-
ton. 1t appears, however, that the
Cruel plant" came originally from
Brazil, where the butterflies are much
stronger, and extricate their suckers
from the trap. We may add that an
other Canadian plant, the cnicus dis
color, is charged with cruelty. The
flower has a gland which secretes q
viscous liquid capable of lining insects
which are fond of it. Moreover, they
seem to be stupefied and poisoned by
1t, and no reason can as yet be as
signed for the deadly consequence -

WINTER BEE-HOUSE.
How to Build One That Is Cheap, War
and Very Comfortable.

How to Build One That Is Cheap, Warm
and Very Comfortable.
Prominent bee men recommend the
construction of winter quarters for
bees of straw of any requisite size,
building two walls, that is, an outer
and an inner wall of straw; the straw
is confined by stakes, and the space
between the two walls to be filed
with sawdust, or something of that
nature; cheap roof and one door.
Such place might be made cheap and
very warm and comfortable. 1t need
not be very large. 1t can be modelled
to suit yourself. AS more expensive
affair, after considerable progress has
been made, Mr.. Quimby recommends
room built as follows; The room for
this purpose is sx16 feet, and seven
feet high, without any windows; a
good coat of plaster is put on the in
side; space of four inches betwee en-
the siding and lath is to be filled with
sawdust. Under the bottom construct
a passage for the admission of air, an
other overhead for it's exit, TO be closed
and opened at pleasure in moderate
weather, to give them fresh air, but
closed when cold, and SO arranged as
to exclude all light. A partition also
extends across, SO that when putting
in or taking out, one need to disturb
only one-half at once. He says he has
wintered bees in this manner for years,
Such room will accommodate about
100 stocks of bees. The room with
same proportions as to length and
breadth can be made of any size.-
