BALLOON ASCENSION.

Yesterday was the day etapart
for the grand balloon ascension
by Kid Raymond, the youngest
aeronaut in the world and Paul
w. Harrell, a young man Of this
city. The wind was blowing
very light and not cloud could
be seen and at the hour appointed
everything was put i'll readiness
and the fire started. In a very
short while the balloon was in
fated and the command "let go
everybody was given and up
they went.
When a few thousand feet Prof.
O'Dell fired a pistol and Paul cut
loose ard slowly decended to the
earth, landing in lot near the
starting point.
The boy went on, and after
reaching a distance of about ten
thousand feet, he freed his para
chute and decended very slowly
landing in a swamp near Rope
work.
The ascension was grand and
the parachute leaps very pretty
The ascension was the first
ever made by Mr. Harrell, buthe
did his work like an experienced
aerOnaut.

COTTON MILLS IN THE
SOUTH.

The location of every cotton
mill in the South, with the num-
Der Of spindles and looms in each,
was published in the Manufac-
turer's Record this week. The
article states that in 1880 the
South had I6I cotton mills, with
667,S45 spindles. By 1890 they
had increased in number to 255
mills, with I,766,553 spindles-
TheSouth now has 400 mills with
2,763,S79 spindles and o2,o52
looms. In addition to this the
mills projected will have between
$4,000 and 75,o 900 spindles. The
increase in spindles last year was
over 100000.
North Carolina leads in the
number of spindles, with $4,000
in operation in 1894, while South
Carolina leads in looms with 49,
200. North Carolina has the
largest number of mills, but as
the majority of them are small,
the aggregate number of their
spindles exceeds South Carolina's
by only $4,000. Georgia comes
third on the list, with $4,000
spindles.
The capital invested i'll cotton
manufacturing i'll the South has
increased from s2I,979,7I3 in
1880 to S97 100000 in 1894.
Thirty-two mills have reported
their dividends for 1898, the
average being 8.8 per cent, i'll
addition to which most of them
laid aside surplus for repairs or
extensions. Two mills paid 20
per cent; one IS, while the others
ranged from I2B to 4 per
cent.

One Of the ablest and most in
f1uential Third party men III
North Carolina in conversation
with a Democratic friend a few
weeks ago said: at will be i'm
possible for our party to combine
with Republicans in North Car
DINA. To think that such a
thing can be done, is to think
that the Third party is composed
of men controlled by prejudice
and passion and not by reason.
Ifsuch a scheme is undertaken
1t will fail. A bargain may be
attempted, but the goods will
never be delivered. The Demo
Gratis may not do all we want
the Republicans haye done and
will do nothing we want" These
are actually the facts. Coalition
along this line is impossible

NORTH CAROLINA.

States, but in the American con-
stellatiou no star shines with a
purer 1uster than North Carolina.
Her past at least is secure. With
out spot on her escutcheon, her
sons look to the future with hope
and confidence.
In the fertility of her soil, the
salubrity of her climate and the
treasures locked i'll her mountains
she has the promise of coming
greatness but superior to these
is her reliance upon the bravery
of her sons and the virtue of her
daughters.
Without disloya1ty to the Union,
it may be said that the people of
our State find little hope for the
betterment of their condition in
the present aspect of national
affairs.
The expectation that the res
tored Democracy would lift from
their necks the burdens that op-
press them is not being realized
and Moses whom they fondly
hoped would lead them to a Ca
naan, flowing with milk and
honey, seems to be lost in the
wilderness. The principles OF
Democracy are as pure as ever,
and the Chicago platform is the
unrepealed law of the party, but
"the heart is deceitful above all
things and desperately wicked"
In this condition of affairs we
turn hopefully to the State.
Here we may find whatever is
essential to the happiness and
welfare of the people. Her edu-
cational institutes are of a high
order, temples dedicated to the
living God crown her hills, and
every facility is afforded for i'll
telleCtual and moral improve
ment. Her administration OF
public affairs is wise and conser-
vative, and her courts of Justice
are open to the humblest Of he1
citizens.
What then is needed? What
more than a manly self-reliancei
We have no hostility to the
North, and nothing but the kind,
est feelings for the West, but
charity begins at home, and with
every prerequisite for selfsuppor,
tits supreme folly to continue tc
procure our manufactured arti-
cles i'll the North and our p1ovis.
ions supplies in the West.
North Carolina fabrics are
equal to those of New England
and they tell us that our home
made hay is superior to that
brought from the West.
When the time comes thai
North Carolina cotton will be
spun in North Carolina factories
North Carolina wheat ground il
North Carolina mills and North
Carolina lands cultivated will
North Carolina raised horses anc
mules, her homes will be the
abodes of comfort, and her sons
and daughters independent anc
happy.-Littleton Courier.

HOW TO BUILD UP THE
SOUTH.

A northern manufacturer who
was discussing the coming re-
moval of six large New England
cotton mills to the south is quoted
as saying: "The southern town
that sits down quietly and ex-
poets millionaire to drop down
ON it and build factories will be
disappointed. The northern
manufacturer who goes south
wants to place his mill by the
side of another which is already
successful. I am convinced that
the south will boom as soon as
the tariff question is settled one
way or the other.

THE cost of ducl1ing privileges in the
canvasback region near the head of
Chesapeake bay is often so great as to
place the indulgence beyond the means
of any except the rich. One small club
that has ducking grounds in that re-
gion exacted an entrance fee of more
than two thousand dollars, and the as
sessment of single year sometimes
reaches hundreds of dollars Each duck
costs such sportsmen alb out the usual
New York m arlxet rate.

1t is said young Mr.. West, a
practical joker of Hazleton, Pa,
is nursing a disfgured face and
two broken ribs because he I'm
dertook to play the mouse racket
on a woman's Club. The Club
was entertaining some friends
and he thought he could add to
the entertainment by turning a
mouse loose among them, which
he proceeded to do, but he was
not sly enough to escape the eye
of the President of the Club, who
took it in. She was twice as able
bodied as the-young man, and in
stead of getting scared at the
mouse and jumping on a chair,
she dispatched the mouse, then
walked the young man to the
door, jumped on him and wound
up the business by throwing him
down a flight of stairs, where he
landed all in heap with two
broken ribs.
