had likewise a woman for prompter.
This was done as it had been demon
strated that the female voices carried
better across the stage, without being
quite so audible to the audience. The
prompter's work is a very important
one. He does not merely refresh the
singers memory, but he carefully fol-
lows the score and with his finger
points to each artist and to the chorus
at the proper time that the voices
should enter. The singers rely upon
the pl ompter for this and at times also
for the words. They forget the latter
far more frequently than the music.

that remains to be said is that to-
morrow night this most interesting
aggregation of players will bid a
public farewell to their ST. Paul

from Southampton today on her sec
ond voyage to this port. She left
her dock at Southampton July 6, at
fifteen minutes after noon, passing
the Bishops Rock light the same

The st. Louis brought 301 saloon,
124 second cabin and $50 Storage

ing of the steadiness and fine quail
tiles of the ST. Louis. The usual en-
tertainment was given in the saloon
of the st. Louis on Thursday even

boro, was the Finishing Mill, which
is located in the Northern part of
this city. 1t is a stupendous affair
and comparatively few of our people
know of it's magnitude. Here the
most of the products of all the cotton
mills OF this entire section are carried
through finishing process and
made ready for the markets of the
world. This process is a secret and
this Company enjoys monopoly in
this line. We believe it is the only
plant OF the kind in the South. The
goods are labeled, boxed and stored
here, ready for shipment to buyers.
Nearly every manufacturer in this
section is under contract with this
Company and it is said that some OF
the mill men are catching on to the
secret process and are showing q
strong disposition TO kick out. 1t is
this Finishing Company thatrecently
ma,!c the sig purchase of land from
the Steel Plant Company, involving
a cash expenditure of $40, 900. This
land is contiguous to the Finishing
Mills and it is thought to be the pur
pose of the Company to establish q
mammoth factory for the manufac-
ture of cotton goods from the raw
material.
At the State Normal Institute were
found workmen engaged in making
greatly needed enlargement of the
buildings connected with this very
popular institution. Even this
spreading out will be entirely made
quate to the demands that will soon
he made upon this school. The last
Legislature deserves credit for the
aid it gnve the Normal, but it could
have made Il larger investment with
great profit to the State. South
Carolina is making arrangements for
a similar Institute, to be located at
Rock Hill. which will open this Fall,
and up to this time-befOre its doors
have been opened-has spent more
for buildings and equipment than
the entire cost of our Normal School
has been after three years existence.

women is one of the States most
important institutions and should
at all times receive it's fostering care

facilities for the thorough accomp-
lishment of the great work it has in

snake Eangs Punclure Tire.

sharon Ea5lc.
That snakes object to being run
over by bicycles IS shown by an ine
cident that happened Monday and
related by New Castle wheelman
who stopped off in SHARON on his
way to Cleveland. The cycler was
coasting at liyely rate down the
hill this side of Pulaski. He saw q
big snake lying directly in his path.
The motions Of the snake confused
the cyclist, and he was compelled to
run over it. AS the front wheel
struck the serpent its fangs shot out
and the cyclist had not gone far, SO
he says, when the front tire collap~
sed. An examination disclosed the
fact that the snakes fangs had
punctured the tire. A Middlesex
physician examined the snake,
which the young man considered a
trophy, and lent confederation to
the story by discovering minute par,
ticles of vulcanized rubber in the
teeth.

Make the Fest of IL.

From the Atlanta Constitution
1t is said that more than d thous-
and men are walking the streets of
Richmond in idleness who could get
Si.50 a day, hut who will not 90 to
work because they cannot get the
wages of s. 80 a day paid them
before the panic.
This policy is suicidal We hope
to see wage workers everywhere iIn-
proving their condition, but when
they refuse to accept $50 a day
they are simply making matters
worse. If they fierce their employers
to pay them high wages they will
break thom and cause their business
to go to smash, and If the employers
import cheap labor it will oil course,
hurt our home toilers.
The Richmond Times argues that
workingmen should he satisfied with
low wages because $50 will buy as
much az $3.50 a few years ago.
This is a goldbug argument, but it
will not tic the ease. While some
iiings arc cheaper than formerly,
the average working man with q
family finds that il is d:tiiculo to
obtain steady employment, and he
is without he money to purchase
goods ST low priees, pay rent, back
debts and various other expenses,
whereas before silver was demone-
tized he had plenty Of work, and
money enough to enable him to live
comfortably.
But the point we desire to impress
upon those who are out of employ
ment is that it IS their duty to make
the best OF tho situation. It is bet
ter to work for hal! wages than to
have no work and depend upon
charity or 90 in debt. During these
hard times n Workingman who can
get $50 day can keep the wolf
from the door and maintain his
family until the return Of more pros,
porous days.

A BANKER BIMETALLIST.

At the recent session of the New

banker opposed the resolution
offered in opposition to the free

spent six o! a ten years research
into the worlds experience of money
in eager pursuit OF facts with which
to sui stantiate the assumptions and
allegations on which this resolution
rests | am satisfied that truth told
accurately will not substantiate it,
The repeal OF the so-called ''Sher-
man act linked the United States
practically with all Europe to the
untried attempt at one time to base
the money OF allupon one commodity
gold; to restrict all increase of
money to the little yearly new supply
of gold that the arts and India do
not absorb. On estimates of statlS-
ticians whom my opponents honor,
abont one third only of the annual
production OF gold is thus avaiia bic
for money. Hence, to fasten this
attempt upon the United States
and bind the expansive energies
of our seventy millions of people
by such restriction upon their
money would seem to me to welcome
peril if not to court disaster.
Some recOverieS in prices from the
great depression which seemed to
eliminate last year are reported and
more seem likely. Nevertheless, my
profound conviction is that to grant
again TO silver the right of transit
ton into money at the will of it's
possesst +, while continuing that
grant to gold, is essential to the
well-founded prosperity of the United
States.
The assumption, under present
and prospective conditions in the
trading world, that the reopening OF
the minis of the United States to
silver would banish gold is no better
founded on experience than was that
identical prediction with which the
.'Biapd Allison" act was threatened
in 1873 and which was put to scorn
by the experience of the Unite d
States in the subsequent twelve years.
Instead of our expelling gold as the
result of that enactment we gained
gold, beginning with the following
year, until the aggregate sum of gold
attracted from abroad approached
$500, 100000.
In this connection / am prepared
to prove in detail that our coinage
act of 1892 did not demonetize and
Danish gold; that our coinage act OF
1884 did not demonetize and Danish
silver; that excessive issues of bank
notes supplanted much of both
metals during both these periods,
ami much of both in each period
was exported in settlement of our
debit balances in foreign trade"

How 20 Stop Lynchings.

Frederick Md News.
But there is another way to pre-
vent lynchings, and Frederick county
has Il right to claim a patent on the
plan. 1t consists in the prompt ex-
ecution OF the law. At least two
lynchings have been prevented in
this city in the past six months by
the rapid administration of justice,
and there is not a county in the
State where the same method would
not meet with equal success. A
prompt convention of the grand
jury, a prompt Indictment, u prompt
trial and an equally prompt execu.
ton Of the sentence is all that the
people demand, and our excellent
and high-minded court, aided by an
able prosecuting attorney of the
State and competent county officers,
has set an example which we firmly
believe would, if followed in every
other county, make it impossible for
lynching ever to occur again III

The Campaign of Education

New York World
The first campaign of education on
the tariff was one of argument. Ii
carried the country FOR reform, but
had 10 practical effect because q
Republican Senate blocked the way.
The present campaign of education
is one OF perience-the best school
master. Logic may fail to convince,
sOphistrfes may deceive, eloquence
may beguile, bat object-iessOns in
struct. Hard facts are not easily
got over. The country is seeing for
itself the operation and ELECTS OF a
tariff reformed in part, and the
demonstration is more effective than
all the speeches that were ever made
or all HE articles that were ever
writer. Wool was made free, as it
was for forty years in this country,
and has always been in every other
manufacturing country in the
world. The duties on WOODEN manu-
features were cOrFespOndin9ly re-
duced. Are the farmers ruined? Are
our WOODEN mills given over to the
owls aud the Huskrata? Have
wages gone down to the "pauper
level of Europe Quite the con-
trary. Within Il fortnight there has
been an average rise in the price of
wool of : cents a pound. The price
of sheep is increasing. Idle mills
have started up on iuli slime Thirty
eight new factories were contracted
for in the first six morts of this year,
against only seventeen iii the same
period iuso year. Che wages OF
wooden operatives have been volun
tarily Increased from 10 to u per
cent. And the people are getting
more and better and cheaper cloth
ing.
The duties on iron ore and on coal
were reduced nearly one half. The
iron industry has not been SO
tlourishiug in years as It is today,
and wages in it have everywhere
advanced.
Tin ore was made free and the duty
on tin-plates reduced one half. The
industry is increasing and prosper
ing as never before The duties on
cottons were reduced Seventy
three new mills were built or con
tracted Tor during the first hall of
this year The great factories are
running full time with increased
wages. The Evening Post OF Mon
day printed a list OF fifty manufac-
turing establishments, embracing
some OF the largest in the country,
in which wages were reduced or work
stopped within a year after the
Mckinley act went into effect, and in
which wages have been increased
from 10 to Is per cent. in the first
year of the new tariff. The World s
lists have shown increases affecting
800, 900 workmen since the LIST of
April. 1t can be safely said that the
