Poor New Orleans! She is GER
tainly to be pitied. 1t has been
shown beyond all doubt that the
municipal administration is an
aggregation of boodlers, some OF
whom were tried and convicted; but
not one has yet been sent to the
penitentiary. A great deal has been
said and much has been done in the
way of exposing the corruption pre-
valent in the city, but the first
boodler is yet to enter the State
prison.. 1t seems to be easy enough
to convict them, but there appears
to be an insurmountable barrier be-
tween a convicted alderman and the
penitentiary and unless there is a
change somewhere, the much in
dicted boodlers will continue to
serve the city as aw-makers, and
the State will never receive their
services in a capacity, perhaps less
congenial to their tastes, but more
in accord with their reputation.

.tEnglish AS She L. Taught"

~ w. StatcS
A few years ago Mrs. Caroline B. Row,
herself a teacher, collected answers to ex
animation questions in the public schools Of
New York and published them in little
book. All the examples in it are genuine
none of them have been tempered with Oh
specimens:
Amenable, anything that is mean. Am
monia, the food of the gods. Capillary, 4
little caterpillar. Demagogue, vessel con
swer was not SO very far wrong). Epicac, a
man who likes good dinner. Eucharist,
one who plays euchre. Mendacious, wha,
can be mended. Republican, a sinner men
which teaches you to be very technical in
your remarks. One sharp chap wrote,
s'This examination makes me feel nauceous. -
There are great many donkeys in theologi-
nouns without regard to sex. An intransa-
tive verb expresses an act not done to an
other, James did not strike John. To
find the number of square feet in a room you
multiply the room by the number of feet,
the product is the result. In Austria the
principal occupation is gathering Austrich
feathers.
What terrible travail the poor little crea-
jects of history. biography, philosophy,
physiology, etc. Here are some samples:
The Indian wars were desecrating to the
country. The Indians pursued their warfare
by hiding in bushes and then scalping
them. Alfred the Great reigned s72
years. He distinguished for let
ting some buckwheat cakes burn and the
lady scolded him. Joan of Arc lived in
New Orleans where she was discovered and
burned by the British. BY the Salic laws no
woman or descendant of woman could oc
cupy the throne. Socrates was in
fighting. He destroyed some statues and
great ridiculer. Holmes was a very profit
gate aud amusing writer. Cotton Mather
was q writer who invented the cotton gin
and wrote histories. Ben johnson survived
was fiction and allegorlcal writer. His
father married a lady of means and they be-
came greatly reserved in circumstances.

loquies of Hamlet throughout the play arc
notorious. Tennyson is very popular poet.
The most important event in the life of Hor-
ace was his birth in 45. An inclined plane
composed of water and about one-half is
avaricious tissue. We have an upper and

time and the upper skin moves when we do.
The salivary glands arc used to salivate the

the breaking down of the body. The weight
of the earth is found by comparing mass
of known lead with that of a mass Of unknown
lead. Venus, Jupiter and perhaps the
earth were known to ancients. Congress is
divided into civilized, half civiliz.d and
savage.
But these eccentricities of genius are not
confined to New York boys and girls. In

PARTY FEAZTY

The gentlemen who have bolted
the Democratic party in this parish
should read the following from the
New Orleans States:
*tMen combine in political par
ties for the purpose of carrying out
certain measures which they believe
to be essential to the welfare of the
country; and, if they are sincere,
they will subordinate all MINOR is
sues to the great, paramount ones
that they have organized to advance.
Hence, when some dissatisfied spirit,
some weakling who assumes that
all his little views and aims and
Fprejudices and likes and dislikes
must be considered rather than the
great ends of the majority. and
threatens to wreck the party and
convulse the world, if he be not
conciliated, he is untrue to his
party, and should be promptly in
vited to acquiesce in the common
judgment or to walk out of the
camp.
elm Louisiana, for instance, what
has party organization done for us7
It has rescued US from carpet-bag-
ger and negro supremacy; relieved
US from a load of debt, State, paro-
chial and municipal; it has rehabi-
tated our waste places, and set us
far on the road to public prosperity.
Had it not been for strict party Or
ganization; had it not been that that
organization was so strict that no
man could kick out of the traces
without incurring public odium and
contempt, Louisiana would be to-
day little more than a wretched ne
gro province. No man who knows
about the history of this
State during the past twenty-five
years will have the effrontery to
deny this statement"

"A UNIQUE ENTERPRISE
THE SOUTHERN FINISHING MILL
AT GREENSBORO THE ONLY
ONEIN THE SOUTH.
PROCESS CAREFULLY GUARDED

The Garsed Brothers Are the Inventors,
and They Alone Understand the Proc
cess by Which the Goods Are Wash
ed, COmbed, Glazed and Stretched
Cloth Gains in Length by This Pro-
cess Nearly Enough to Pay the Ea-
tire Cost OF the Treatment.
In North Cardinals cotton world dc
cidedly the most unique feature is tie
finishing mill OF the Southern Finishing
and Warehouse Company at Greensboro
North Carolina leads the South in the
number of mills and spin les and in the
amount Of cotton consumed, bat it has
in this enterprise something that djstin-
cuisines it from any other State in the
South, for these are the only mills of
the kind south Of the line that Mason
and Dixon ran. And in fact there is
only one other plant like it in the United
States, d that is in Philadelphia.
For long while the cotton mills of
the South felt the need Of place where
their goods could be sent to receive the
finishing touches and be put up in such
shape that they could compete with the
BEST products of the older manufactur-
ing States. The mills that dotted the
South did not have the facilities for this
important work. and each individual
mill could not afford to invest in the eX-
pensive machinery necessary for the pro
cess. But to compete with the finished
- e ,vIr IN
the markets Of the world this work was
necessity.
Therefore when goods required higher
finish than the ordinary mill could give
they were sent to the North This con
tinued until 1898, when these fine mills
were erected at Greensboro. Then the
South stopped paying tribute to the
North. To-day the Southern manufac
turer is not compelled to send his goods
north to be finished. Toe work is done
here as cheaply and as well as it is done
anywhere. And it is an enterprise 10
the South, OF the South, and for the
South.
It takes up the work of manufacturing
where the majority of the cotton mills
leave off, an i3 in no wise their com
petitor. 1t is based on the principle Of
co operation among manufacturers.
This principle has been large factor
in the success Of cotton manufacturing
in the South. And the great develop
ment Of the industry in this section has
been largely because the mill men have
recognized the larger competition OF the
world and have joined hands to meet it.
There is less Jealousy among the cotton
manufacturers Of the South than in al
most any other class

SMALL COTTON FACTORIES

The following from the Charleston
News and Courier shows the profits made
by small mill in that State Several
days ago your correspondent had talk
with one of the stockholders Of the Clio
yer Cotton Factory, who has been con-
nected with the enterprise from its in.
ception, who did more towards building
the mill than anyone else, and who nat
urally is much gratified at its success.
He said that work was commenced as
soon as $50, 600 of the capital stock had
been subscribed, and that q large part of
that amount was paid in installments.
The capital stock is now about 800, 900,
and not less than $25 900 of this is rep
resented by earnings Of the mill that are
invested in improvements. He also said
that in the course Of the five years dur
ing which the mill has been in operation
he has received in cash dividends 81 per
cent Of the sum first invested, and that
he has every reason to believe that with
in the next three the cash dividends will
aggregate 100 per cent and that he, as
well as al other original stockholders
will receive SO I. 3 per cent, in additional
stock.
Among the hundreds of cotton fac
tories started at the South since the war,
We have heard of but few that failed to
give fair dividends, and bad manage
meut has been the cause Of failure in
most instances.
1t has always seemed strange economy
to rs to send our raw material thousands
of miles from hone to have it manufac-
tured, and to pay cost of transportation
both ways, when we could have it changed
from crude to useful forms not only more
cheaply here at home, but we can have it
made into better article. Ia the moist,
warm climate Of the South the cotton fac
tories have for long time produced
better thread than can be made in the
dry, cold climate Of the North.
The same may almost be said of almost
any production made from our great sta
pie. Owing to our mild climate, fuel and
all labor can be had at less cost per an
rum than at the North; go that the cost
of production, not only in cotton. but in
the minor factories, is considerably less
here than it is in the colder ATTITUDES.
We would therefore urge all of our
farmers to use economy and invest their
savings in factories and change their
products into more valuable forms. The
time is rapidly approaching when elec-
tricity, generated by waterfalls, will
greatly reduce the cost of running most
machinery in the Sou th We have the
waterfalls; we have the raw material.
Let US profit by the abundance of both.

NEGRO COTTON MILL HANDS.

In his speech last month before the
cotton manufacturers at the Atlanta
Exposition, Col. d. A. TOmpkins, Of
Charlotte, N. c., incidentally discussed
the proposed employment of c0lorcl
labor in the mills.
Colonel Tompkins expresses no oppin-
ion on the subject, but, in reply to the
talk of the Northern manufacturers in
regard to colored labor, he says:
"I5 is impossible for me to come to a
conclusion as to whether the colOred
people would make successful mill
hands CT not. Nobody, not even those
wh0 ka0w and love the coloeed people
b2st, has ever had the courage to
try The experiment. believe I A&vo
ab0uS as many friends among
c0locad people as any other average man,
and yet / would not dare to try the eX-
pertinent Of cotton mill with coiored
operatives without the full consent of all
my associates or stockholders to lose
money in the experiment, il it should
turn out that way. Nothing but expert
ment, in my judgment, ever determine
the question. In order to determine it
would be willing to be one Of 100persons
to subscribe 81 500 each for a mill to be
operated by colored people until by losses
it should be determined that tina expert
ment was a failure, or by success it
should DC demonstrated to bepracticable.
