Situation in Cotton.

New YORK, June despite
the general prostration in trade
in America, it is chronicIed by
to- days commercial reviews of
the situation, published at the
end of each week, that there is
rather a better undertone observ-
able in nearly every department
of mercantile activity. In the
cotton market this feeling has
found expression in an advance
Of about twenty five points over
the lowest prices previously es
tablished. The impulse TOWARD
higher prices, has however, come
in the main from Liverpool an6

position on the part of the manu-
facturers in England and on tn,

1T PAYS TO HUSTLE.

Mr.. James A. Westbrook, the
famous berry grower, came up
from Mt. Olive yesterday, wear
ing his customary modest man
ner and kindly smile. His err
rand was to transfer to the safe
care of the Bank of Wayne an ac-
cumulation of checks which
swelled his spacious pocket and
represented thousands. The sue
cess of this man in the berry
business is the talk Of this part
of the country; indeed, his fame
has long since reached New
York. The fancy grocers and
big hotels look for his fruit
among the commission merchants
and pay an extra price to get it.
Itis reported on good author
ity that he has made over S12, O0C
net cash this season thus far, and
is still shipping at good profit.
This on thirty acres of bearing
vines
Mr.. Westbrook attributes his
success this season, when nearly
everyone else failed, to the fact
that his place is largely planted
in the Lady Thomson, Il berry
that seems to better fill all the
requirements for an early an6
lasting shipper than any other
After such a severe and cold snap
as we had in April, most vari
eties would rust, but the Thomson
seems not to have minded it
Then it was not injured by the
drought in May and while the
crop has been about half, the
vines have borne large fine frui
right through the season. and as
late as Monday last it sold il
New York for Il cents.
There are other reasons fo1
Mr.. Westbrook' success, how
ever, he is a man who would sue
ceed at anything, because h
puts his whole heart into tn,
work at hand 1t is said that h,
receives private report Of th'
weather indications and Whel
there is prospect of a frost cover
i his vine. no matter how warm i
may be at Mt. Olive. When tn
fatal cold wave came in Marcl
he was up all night PERSONAL,
overseeing the covering of be1
ries and potatoes, and yet thi
man goes out hunting twice
week, when the picking season

Prudence is the virtue of th,
senses. It is the outer action O
the inner life.
Do not cheat thy heart and tell her
Grief will pass away,
Hope for fairer times in future,
"And forget to-day. y
Tell her, if you will, that sorrow
Need not come in vain;
Tell her that the lesson taught her
Far outweighs the pain.
Cheat her not with the cold comfort,
s:Soon she will forget, 2
Bitter truth, alas! but matter
Rather for regret
Bid her not ''seek other pleasures,
Turn to other things;;''-
Rather nurse her Gagged sorrow
Till the captive sings.
Rather bid her go forth brasely,
And the stranger greet;
Not as foe with spear and buckler,
But as dear friends meet:
Bid her with strong clasp hold her,
By-her dusky wings,
| Listening for the murmured blessing
| Sorrow always brings.

Senator Walthall has intro
duced a bill to repeal the idiotic
law passed by the last Congress
forbiddino the re-enlistment of
any soldier who, after ten years
service, had not been promoted
from the ranks. Under that law
some of the best veterans in the
army would have to be dropped
from the rolls because, however
valuable as members of the rank
and file, they may not have had
the opportunity or the qualifica-
ton to reach the oftentimes far
less responsible position of non
commissioned officer. Under that
law also they are robbed OF
their right to share in the bene-
fits of the retired list, for which
they have. contributed a portion
of their monthly pay from the
date of their enlistment, The
law is unjust, absurd and excel
| lently calculated to keep al
worthy mon out Of the service

fort to call attention to it has
proven such an abortion, that
our people have rather despaired
of accomplishing anything. 1t
is pleasant, therefore, to know
that a systematic and substan-
tial campaign has been inaugu
rated by the Atlantic Coast Line
to advertise this section as /
should be, and that such a fine
and influential magazine as The
Southern States has been called to
assist in this work.
The Southern States HGgdziae is
published by the Edwards Bros.
of Baltimore, than whom no
two men have done more for the
advancement of the South.
Their paper, The Manufacturers
Recor1s-is the finest trade jour
nal in America and is devoted
entirely to Southern progress.
The Southern States is not q
cheap pamphlet, but an elegantly
gotten up magazine that is taken
all through the South, and has
an immense circulation through
the North and North West. II
is devoted entirely to the pro
motion Of Southern immigration
and development, and contains
in every number, highly interest
ing and entertaining articles
from the pens of the brightest
writer's in the South.
To reach directly. the persons
who are contemplating coming
South nothing could be better
than this.

HATTERAs LIGHTHOUSE.
Successful Boring for Its Founda.
ton.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Sen-
ator German has not been in his
seat in the Senate since the day
he delivered his recent speech on
the Tariff bill. 1t was known
that he was indisposed, but each
day the announcement was made
that rest was all he needed. To
day. however, the Senator'S S
brother is quoted as saying that
Senator German is a very sick
man. Over work, he says, is the
cause Of his illness. In addition
to the neuralgia from which he
has been suffer for several years,
he has suffered with some trouble
with his kidneys. He is also
said to be subject to fits Of ner-
vousness, which have brought
on frequent attacks of insomnia,
which also Lave been aggravated
by his old enemy, neuralgia. In
addition to the above causes, ever
since the Inauguration Of Mr..
Cleveland last year, Senator Cor
man has been beseigcd at all
hours by crowds of otfice-Seekers
who have literally worn him out.
That he is very sick man is ad-
mitted by all his friends.
The wholesale discharge OF
clerks for which Secretary La
mont has been SO long prepar-
ing, took place in the War De
partner to. day, nearly three
hundred employees receiving no
tice that their services were nc
longer required. Many of them
were rlso notified that they woulo
receive pay until various times
in June on account of regular
leaves of absence. Nearly 1OC
vacancies had already been ere
ated in the record and pension
offices, and the total contemplated
reduction OF force numbering 5O(
is about accomplished, although
it is expected that twenty-five OF
thirty more vacancies will be re
ported by the end Of the fisca
year. Of the discharges to-day
twelve were from the Secretary:
Office and two hundred from tha
of the records and pensions. The
adiutant general lost thirty .an6
and the surgeon general nine
teen. The reductions are all re
commended in the Legislative
Executive and Judicial Appro
priation bill now under consider
alton by Congress. The Secre
tary will next turn his at
tention to sending back to thei
regiments about half the regula-
army officers now on dut7

charge amounts to oneSixth o
the entire force of the Depart
ment.
Capt. Evans, of the Lighthous
board, Treasury Department, to

gram meant that the borings th

MUST SAMOA BE ENSLAVED?

A brief cablegram last week
says that the Samoan rebels
are defying the German authori
ties. God help the ''rebels,"
who are the most kindly, gener-
Gus, heroic, Christian gentlemen
in all the world that civilization
calls savage. They not only for
gave their German oppressors in
the great disaster of Apia Bay,
five years ago, but they risked
and in some cases sacrificed
their lives to save those of their
| enemies.
They are brave, truthful,
manly people little contaminated
as yet by contact with white
men, and totally ignorant of the
duplicity which cllaracterizos
some savage and all civilized
races.
i If left to their fate they will be
first enslaved and then eXtermi-
mated by the German invaders,
with the connivance of England
and the silent consent Of the
) United States. which solemnly
promised to guarantee their in
dependence.
A word from Washington
| would be enough to avert this
, infamy. Will Secretary Gresham
| say it, and say it in terms which
cannot be mistaken at Berlin ol
q London?

Above we give picture of the new building erected last summer for the fu- ture home of The Press. The building was first occupied last September, but was not then fully completed. The lot upon which it stands, on the east side of Fur mace Avenue, near the corner of East Main street, was secured last spring, and almost immediately after the contract was let and work begun by Peter B.Johnson, con- tractor, who also made plans for the same according to directions furnished him. The lot extends from the street to the river, nearly 16O feet. The building, 32x 49, in width occupies all the lot except a strip upon each side reserved for the sake of the light needed in the printing busi- ness. The picture very we'll describes the building, which is built in the most sub stantial manner, with solid brick walls, and floors we'll stayed to sustain the weight put upon them. The entire lower floor is occupied as The Press office. The right hand door opens into the counting room

Chicago is not only called upon to face the collapse of stimulated business and the largest proportionate number of un- employed but all enormous deficit in it's treasury. The accounts have been woe- fully mismanaged, and there is shortage of nearly $3,OOO,OOO. And, worse than mismanagement, it is intimated that pay rolls erronously padded with fictitious names have been regularly passed at the treasurer's office. This comes from elect ing thieves to public office. A thief is a thief, whether he wears, the title of office, or pliers in small way and the laws should make the crime greater one where the culprit abuses public trust.

Early American SculptOrs.

It is worthy of special notice that wheL Rush began to model in clay not one of the artists who have given celebrity tc our native sculpture had seen the light of day. Frazer was not born until 1790. nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until 1791. The latter was originally in the grocery trade, but failing in that took up modelling and wood carving without any guide except his natural instincts: but like the majority of our early sculp tors, with the exception of Rush, his eff. forts are interesting only as evidence of what talent entirely unobstructed can accomplish. ..e
 It was not until 1895, long after Cop ley, West, Malone, Allston and Stuart had demonstrated our capacity for pic torial art, that Hiram Powers was born. The same year Horatio Greenough first saw the light of day. In the remote wilds of Kentucky Hart was brought into this world in 1910, and Clevenger, Crawford and Mills followed in 1872 1913 and 1915. Thus we see that, with. out hereditary genius or predecessors from whom to copy, Rush achieved his artistic results, and succeeded in win ming for himself European renowI which made him the equal of some oi the leading foreign carvers and sculptors of his age, and at the same time vel earned the title of "father of American sculpture. ."-Lippincott's.
