Where the Mills Are,

The Textile Excelsior, a trade
journal published at Charlotte, N.
e., in the interest of Southern tex
tile industries, has map showing
the location of Southern mills. 1t
is a most instructive and gratifying
showing of the large extent of the
industry in section formerly given
almost wholly to agriculture. Vir-
ginia, according to the map, has
mills dotting its surface literally,
but in North Carilina the names of
places having mills are very thick
and in South Carolina still thicker.
Georgia and Alabama are we'll sup
piled, and the same may be said of

A Disti.iery Blown IN,

Mr.. D. T. Roseman's distil cry was
blown up yesterday afternoon and
two men were hurt in consequence.
The freeze up Of night before last
caused the worm in Mr.. Roseman's
still to become frozen. This was
not, however, considered a serious OBJ
stacle to the usual work and the dis
tillery started mp. After it had run
a while the steam which tinds escape
from the worm began to fill up in
the still. There was no way in
which it could find an outlet and as
natural consequence when the pres
sure became too strong the whole
still was blown to pieces.
The distiller, Mr. Monroe Peeler,
went down in the wreck and was
right badly hurt. The firemen was
scalded but bis injuries are not at all
serious.-Salisbury World.

TO AoH EVE AND RETAIN SUCCESS

TO ACH EVE AND RETAIN SUCCESS.
The following item from Printers
Ink, the little schoolmaster in the
advertising field, is commended to
the careful consideration of the sue
cessful business men of our commu
nifty. 1t says:
"Many men achieve success, but
few re;ain it. The recent failures OF
some of the most prominent firms in
their lines attest this fact. The rea,
son is plain. When once ahead they
expect to keep advance of their com
petitors by the momentum simply
which they have acquired, forgetting
that those behind have ever been in
creasing their speed and are still
bending to the oars"
A business never gets too large, OF
a firm too successful to justify it in
resting upon its laurels without
hustling to secure new business and
to hold what it has.

OUR GREAT FISHERIES.
Largest in the World Located on AL
bemarIe Sound.


The water-indented State of North
Carolina has over three thousand
miles of riparian rights and the
fisheries are the most important Of
any in the United States if not in
the world, says "Southern Progress. )"
Three hundred thousand yards Of
seine are operated IN Albemarle
Sound alone, in addition to thousands
of stake, drift and pound nets.
Some seines are nearly four miles
long. The investments in the large
fisheries of the Albemarle section
sometimes reach $4,000 and the
annual profits of many aggregate
$4,000. The statistical review of
these fisheries represents that they
employ six thousand people and three
thousand boats and that the pounds
of fish taken yearly exceeds thirty
three million. North Carolina shad
command the highest prices because
they begin to run first and are early
in the market. Leading industries
of Dare, Chowan, Tyrrell, Hyde and
Washington counties are the taking
of fish. The beds Of the five sounds
are covered with oysters. Formerly
there were operated along the shores
of Tyrrell county some of the largest
seine fisheries in the world, but they
were destroyed in the civil war and
have never been refitted. Charles
Hallock, the founder Of Forest and
Stream, and an authority in such
matters states that the great variety
of edible fresh water fish taken in
the North Carolina rivers is remark

The proposed investigation into
the lease of the North Carolina rail-
road is likely to cause division in
the ranks of the fusionists. Cover
nor Russell aud few other Repub-
licans and the Populists are in favor
of annulling the lease, but Senator
Pritchard is the attorney of the Sou
thern Railway and his partizans are
opposing any interference with the
lease. And the power of the South
ern Railway with Legislatures ID
