American wooIens in England.

From the New York Herald.
The sale OF American wooden cloths
at profit in Bradford, England

nfactures of wOolens-is reported to
the State Department by United
States Consul Meeker. The consul
says that American cloths suitable
for mems clothing shown him by
Bradford merchant had been pu--
chased in Bradford. aud that the
representative of a New York house
has just placed orders for American
goods in Glasgow and Aberdeen and
expects to sell them in London.
Why should there be any surprise
that American manufacturers thus
boldly attack the British lion in his
favorite den-the centre not only of
British but of the worlds woClen
manufacture and wooden trade? Did
not the Wilson tariff law give our
manufacturers free wool more than
six months ago? That law lifted
directly vast loads from all our
wooden industries. enabling them to
procure far cheaper and more suit
able woods, while indirectly it reduced
other expenses which enter into the
cost of production. England, after
clothing her own people, exports and
sells annually woolens to the value
of $12O,O0O,O0O or more. The
United States. though manufactur
ing annually $3OO,OOO,OOO worth of
wOoleas, has been until now prevent
ed by our own high tariffs from com

our exports of woolens have been
insignificant. Now, however, thanks
to the Wilson freewool bill, American
woolens will have an entrance into

globe, and the new trade will event.

The Bird in the Bonnet,
| the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The approach OF spring and the
return OF the birds brings to mind
the constant slaughter of birds of
song and of gay plumage. 1t has
been estimated that not less than
five million birds are annually killed
for the purpose OF gratifying the
feminine love for hat decoration.
The interior of Africa is even being
secured by hunters in search of gay
colored feathers for the American,
English and French markets, and
ornithoiogists are almost unanimous
in the belief that many varieties of
the bird species are being imperiled,
if not actually wiped ont, to provide
millinery with accessories The
Women's Christian Temperance
Union has engaged in a crusade
against this slaughter, and societies
have been formed for the same pur-
pose in London and Chicago. The
milliners are really not SO culpab.e
in that m utter as are those who are
responsible for the demand for bird
ornaments, and societies such as
those that have already been formed
onght to expand their sphere of USE
fulnpss and organize branch societies
pledged to the attempt to turn public
sentiment against the needless
slaughter of creatures the presence
in the world OF which adds to its ami
nation and it's loneliness.

NEW SCHOOL LAW.

1t is feared that the new school law
will seriously cripple the cause Of
public education. Indeed State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Scarborough is quoted as holding
tae opinion that the schools have
been set back twenty years and that
the public school system is nearly
ru ned.
The office ofcounty board of edu
cation is abolished, to take effect the
first Monday in June next, and the
duties of the said board will devolve
upon the board of county commits
sioners, who will be permitted to
hold only two meetings of not more
than two days duration each year
tor tue sole consideration of educa
tional affairs. They may, however,
attend TO school matters at regular
meetings OF the board.
The office OF county superintendent
of public instruction is, also,
abolished, to take effect the first
Monday in June.
So, it will be seen that there Is to
be no county board and no officer
whose exclusive duty it will be to
look after the public school interests
Of the county.
It is provided that there shall be a
county examiner, but his duties will
be confined to examining applicants
for teachers certifi aates The section
of the law creating this officer and
defining his duties, reads as follows:
Section That the board OF
county commissioners of the several
couties in tue State shall on the first
Monday in June. A D., 1895, aud
annually thereafter, appoint an ex
miner, whose duty il shall he to-
examine ; II persons desiring To teach
in the public schools of the said
county, in conformity to law. There
shall be a public examination at the
court house, to commence on the
first Monday in July. 1895, and
annueiiy thereafter, to continue from
day TO day until all the applicants
are examined and the certificate
issued shall be good for two years
from the date thereof. All such ap
plicants shall pay to the examiner,
in advance, a fee of one dollar for
such examination: Provided, that
the examiner may examine apph
cants for teachers crrtifi tates at any
other time or place, but when so
examined the applicant shall pay to
the examiner, in advance, a fee OF
one dollar and fifty cents for such
examination.
In view of the extent to which
nepotism was practiced by the last
Legislature, the following amend
meat appears somewhat humorous
and shows that the members are not
willing that other people should
emulate their example. Section Is
reads:
Section Is. That section $3.50 be
amended by adding at the end there
of the following: Provided further,
that in the employment of teachers
it shall be unlawful for the school
committee to employ a1y person
more nearly related TO any of said
committee, by blood or marriage,
than the degree of first cousin"

happens it enters your door as a

BESIDES the tobacco exhibit, which
we feel assured will be cared for, some
concerted action should be taken
looking to proper presentation of
the resources of this section at the
Atlanta Exposition. Through an
idea of false economy or lack OF
State pride, the Legislature failed to
make an appropriation for State
exhibit ard whatever representation
we have at that great Exposition
must be secured by private effort.
Let the Piedmont section be awake
to this rare opportunity and begin
IN time to make preparations for a
creditable display of our rich and
varied resources, many OF which are
either dormant or are utilized to a
limited extent only, for the lack of
the needed capital to develop, which,
If developed, would materially add TO
our wealth and population. This is
q most important matter, deserving
prompt and earnest consideration.
