houses, which the wage carriers III the
mills occupy, are rented at a small IN
terest on the principal invested and the
operatives have the advantage Of living
at one Of the best markets in the State.
The success of the Pilot Mills demon
strates the wisdom of its owners in the
selection of Raleigh as its local habita
ton. Raleigh is situated in the center
of large area Of cotton growing terri
tory, second to none in the State. 1t is
the largest inland market In the State.
1t has railroads, warehouses and other
facilities equal TO any in the State, these
things the owners Of the Pilot Mills knew,
and they have been factors in the success
OF the elterpri'e
But with all these and many more
local advantages, it takes careful, eco

duct a cotton factory successfully. Mr..
VIM. H. Williamson is this kind Of a
manager, and to this fact is due the sue
cess and popularity of the Pilot Cotton
Mills and its products.

ago it was very nearly impossible 10 move

slow ones became separated early in the
cruise, and much time was lost in wait

An incident of Admiral Meade's run
from Trinidad to Laguayra is worth not

neapolis to know if she could so any

twelve knots) without increasing the half

ceiving an affirmative reply, at d. m.

hours. At shutdown the Minneapolis was
midtown to the rest OF the fleet. At 8
o'clock her speed was reduced TO eight
knots. and the fleet caught up with her
some five or six hours later. This feat
was performed by the Minneapolis while
her furnaces were burning sixty-seven
tons Of coal in twenty-four hours, while
the furnaces Of the New York, which
followed her. were burning eighty-four
tons in the same length of time.

A Rice Duty Decision.

An important decision has been made
by the. board of United States general
appraisers relative to the duties on rice
imported from the orient. The decision,
the New Orleans Picayune says. makes
the application of the new rice tariff
more satisfactory to the domestic rice
interests than was that of the old tariff
1t viii be remembered that under the
old law importers were in the habit Of
bringing in cleaned rice mixed with rice
flour and polish under the name of I'M
cleaned rice, thereby securing an ap-
payable on uncleaned rice. When the
new tariff was under consideration in con-
gress the rice interests took steps to have
the schedule so arranged as to give a
clear definition of uncleaned rice, the
new law defining that article to be rice
free of the outer huh and still having
the inner cuticle on"
The decision was in the matter of the
protest Of Tai Wo Lung against the de-
cision of the collector of customs at the
port of Astoria, Ore, as to the rate and
amount of duty chargeable on certain rice
imported by him. The board of apprais-
ers held that the rice in question showed
evidence of having had both the outer
and the inner cuticle removed, and,
therefore, was to all intents and purposes
clean rice, and must pay the full duty
of ~ cents per pound. and not the $40
of cent which the law imposes on I'M
cleaned rice. This decision" says the
Picayune, shows that the new law is
much more equitable than the old stat
ute. and that the definition Of unclaimed
rice is decided protection to the inter
ests Of the domestic rice producers"
