Bohemians and French furnish the
bulk OF the labor. while in the
North Carolina mills the white ma.
tives of the mountain districts are
employed, and that those in Caro-
lima were the best. Indeed, he
considers them far the superior Of
the two. AS to the South not be-
ing able to manufacture the finer
grades of cotton fabrics, the fallacy
was by him entirely exploded.
The belief that the South WAS un-
able to make this class of goods has,
no doubt, deferred many mills from
locating in the Southern country,
but after Mr.. Nichols statements
all future doubts should be removed.
The fact is, the South is, or soon
will be, able to manufacture the fin
est OF fabrics and our Northern and
Eastern friends will do we'll to real
ize this at once and prepare to come
this way if they want to do bust
ness on paying basis.

A REMARKABLE TRAIN.

One OF the most remarkable trains that
ever Travelled over the rails Of an Ameri
can road, left Philadelphia recently, de-
stined for Boston. 1t was composed Of p
cars, all handsomely decorated, and every
one OF them from first to last loaded with
Hires Rootbeer." There is no question
but that it was the largest consignment
of the kind ever made at one time in
America. The value of this shipment was
nearly 100000, and it attracted great at
tention among the trade and railroad men,
who gave the train the appropriate name
of Hires Rootbeer Special" The cars
contained 6,460 cases in all, 4,035 gross, or
5Sl,040 bottles of Hires Rootbeer Extract,
sufficient to make 2, 800, 200 gallons of root
beer, or over 10 glasses for each man,
woman and child In New England. Thew
also contained 2,425 cases, holding 10000
pint bottles of rootbeer, ready to drink.
The above figures represent only about
ethird Of the total amount OF this pop
ulaT beverage consumed in New England
during the season, but they give some
idea of the wonderful popularity through
out the entire country of this greatest Of
all temperance drinks. A Temperance
Drink for Temperance People" is the
name given this most delightful beverage.
Composed entirely of roots and herbs
without the slightest trace OF intoXicants,
it is worthy the name. Not only is it a
delicious thirst-satisfying drink, but 1t
has widely recognized value as a tonic,
strengthening the system and enriching
the blood.

Inc residents OF darr1Son street between
Eighth and Ninth streets are greatly
incensed over the action Of tho Street and
Sewer directors in authorizing the ash
contractors to dump their loads OF rub.
bish in front OF their resld snces for tine
purpose OF grading the street.
The act would not have provoked the
residents so much had they not been
warned by the directors not to deposit
even ashes In the hoies In the street at
that point which, by the way. are as nu-
merous as the residents themselves and
after such warning they now have to put
up with the disgusting sight OF ashes. old
shoes. tin cans, rags and possibly garbage
from the Kitchens OF many houses OF the
city. That they have just cause to CON-
plain is not questioned.
The work was begun yesterday morn
ing. and by night the streets presented a
very dirty appearance to that OF the day
before. True It was that the street was
badly In need OF repair. but when the di.
reotors refused to accept the offer of the
residents to help bear the expense OF the
proposed repairing. and In their very
faces dump such a pile OF rubbish In
front OF their houses. is an Insult almost
unbearable.

PRISON LIFE IN SIBERIA.
The Surprisingly Attractive Picture Pre-
sented by Traveller Dc Windt.


scnted by Traveller De windt.
LONDON, Jan. l0.-Harry De Windt, the
traveller and journalist, who intends to
lecture in America to refute the state
ments of George Kennan in regard to ST.
berian prison life, gives surprisingly at
tractive picture of the life of prisoners In
Siberia Describing typical political
prison, that at Akatu, In the Nertchinsk
mining district, he says that the prisoners
are confined In roomy, we'll lighted and
warmed cells, decorated with jugs filled
with flowers that had been picked by the
prisoners while en- route to their work in
tho mines, q mile distant
The convicts march to their work daily,
smoking and singing ohoruses. They have
three good meals daily and are supplied
with an unlimited quantity of beer at
dinner. Only three of the prisoners wore
chains, which weighed seven pounds, and
these were removed during their work.
The condition of the mines is quite as good
and the labor less than in English mines
The men sleep on mattresscs and pillows.
There Is no work done On Sundays and
saints days, and concerts and plays are
given. Mr., De Windt gives the following
instances to show the cheerful existence Of
even the most desperate convicts:
Gottze, the leader Of the Yakutsk prison
mutiny In 1880, lives in large well lighted
cell. He Ii supplied with writing mate
rials and receives parcels Of Russian,
French, German and English books. His
wife lives In the village, and is allowed to
see him weekly,
Slavinsky, one Of the heade Of interna-
tionni nihilism, who was implicated in
nearly all the recent explosions, Is In sim

has his own medicine chest
Enilianoff, who was implicated In the
