1t Looks Like Robinson.

Special to Charlotte Observer
Washington, April 9.-Repre-
sentative White left the city to-
day for Wilmington and Tarboro,
where be has important business
engagements. He will be absent
ten days.
Chas. H. Cook, Of Warrenton,
who was being strongly urged for
the vacant judgeship in the eastern
district, has withdrawn and will be
district attorney for that district.
1t looks like Robinson will get the
plum, as Senator Pritchard has
expressed himself as strongly in
favor of an eastern man being
given the place. Robinson has the
backing of White and looks like a
winner.

COLLEGES $54O,OOO MISSING
Funds Of the University of Illi
nOis Can't Be Found.

Chicago, April 9.-Endowment
bonds to the value of $400, 600
belonging to the University of
Illinois are missing. They were
intrusted to c. W. Spalding,
President of the Globe Savings
Bank, which closed on last Mon
day, Mr.. Spalding was Treas
urer of the University, and held
over $14O, 600 in cash and $780,
900 in endowment bonds.
A secret session of the trustees
of the university was held yester-
day at the Sherman House. This
session was called to hear the re-
port of a sub committee appointed
yesterday to communicate with
Mr., Spal6ing and secure some
definite information as to the cash
funds intrusteo to him as Treas
urer OF the board, and to obtain
assurance, if possible, that the en-
dowment bonds given into his keep
ing are safe.
The trustees remained in ses-
sion for nearly three houl 5. 1t
IS learned from an authoritative
source that the situation is most
serious for the University. Mr..
Spalding could not be found.
President F. NJ. Mckay of the
Board of Trustees admitted that
the board is absolutely in the dark
so far as the $4OO, 200 endowment
bonds are concerned. Of this
amount 5000, 900 worth of bonds
are said to be negotiable, while
he remainder are stamped in such
a manner as to make it next to
impossible to hypothecate them.
The only information that could
be CLEANED from the trustees after
the meeting to-day was the assur-
ance that not all Of the $4,000
cash funds was in the hands Of
Mr., Spalding when the Globe
OaFlHS Dirk -Ialle oI ~ lhfOlfed
in the failure.
A special meeting of the uni
versity trustees will be held on
next Tuesday. Rumors have
reached the ears OF the trustees
shat Mr.. Spalding's personal bond
is practically worthless. He is
under bond of 5000, 200, but in
quiries made at mercantile agencies
do not lift the clouds. Mr.. Spald-
ing was appointed Treasurer of
the Board of Trustees at the
solicitation of ex-Gov. Altgeld
soon after the latter was elected.

er, which stretches the cotton
and makes it round, something
like rope. One yard of cotton
as it comes from the lapper makes
one hundred yards after it is
carded.
After the -carder it is taken to
the stretcher and twisted a little,
SO as to hold it together.
The fifth machine is the Stub
Der. In the slubber the cotton
is twisted more firmly, Sc as to-
make it stronger ana smaller,
more like thread. It takes six
strands as it comes from the
stretcher to make one strand as
it comes from the slubber.
After the slubber it is taken to
the speeder, where the thread as
it comes from the slubber is
twisted very loosely and made
smaller. After the thread comes
from the speeder it is put on
ot1COIo IOI tIlS LII UlHlc.
The spinner, which is the next
machine, makes the cotton into
hard and strong thread and also
makes some thread stronger than
it does some others. The strong
er is called the warp, which in
weaving the cloth is run length
wise, while the other, which is the
flling,.is run crosswise.
The next machine is the spool
er, which puts the thread Oh very
large spools.
From the spooler it is put on
the warper where the large spools
about 100 at a time) are put on
and wound on a large cylinder.
The ninth is the slasher, where
as the thread is taken off of one
cylinder and wound on another, it
is starched ready for the loom.
After the slasher it is carried
to the harness, where each thread,
one by one, is put with greatest
care, The harness is a part of
the loan.
The eleventh machine is the
loom which makes the cloth.
After the loom the cloth IS Is
carried to the finishing machine,
where it is dampened and the bad
places picked out.
After the finishing machine it
is carried to the folding machine,
where the cloth is folded into
bolts.
After it is folded it is stamped

The last machine is the baling
machine, where the cloth is baled

Death i'm the Floods.

Greenville, Miss, April g.
Every day now brings some tale
of woe from the overfowed
region.
When the levee at Mound Land
ing broke, family Of a mother
and SIX children were overtaken
by the waters, and before they
cou' d reach a place Of safety four
of the children were caught by the
furiously rushing current, and
washed away almost in the twinkl-
ing Of a eye. Who these people
were was not learned in the CON
fusion of the night. It is believed
the mother and the other two
children were taken care of.
The railroad bridges across the
main streams in the county are 60
ing fast. An iron bridge across
the Bogue on the Valley route was
washed away yesterday. There
were some hundred and fifty cattle
and horses upon it at the time.
The Southern bridges on the Bogue
have also been washed away.
The Yazoo river is running up
stream from its mouth nearly to
Greenwood, on account of high
stage of water at Vicksburg. Here
to day the river is stationary.
The river report just received
to.day is anything but encouraging,
and there IS but little hope of
relief from the present condition
for five weeks at least.

be thirty>fve families around

that unless they receive imme

LOCAL BRIEFS.

LOCAL BRIEFS,
Miss Emma Watkins, of Mil
ton, N. C.,is in the city, the guest
of Miss Matte Lee.
Miss Bette Harvey, of Wash
ington, N. c., is in the city, visit
ing Mrs. Geo. E. Crabtree.
PRoF. Logan D. Howell, Super
intendent of the Raleigh Public
Schools, is on a visit to his home
in this city.
Mr.. L. B. Pate, of Pikeville,
sent in some fine specimens of
peas Saturday that rivaled those
of Mr.. E. W. Cox, noted in yes
terday's paper. Mr.. Pate expects
to ship in week.
Our young friend Mr.. Clayton
Outlaw, who has been visiting his
parents and home in this city,
after an absence of two years, has
returned to Salisbury, where he
is engaged in business for him
self. We are glad to know that
he is prospering. He deserves
success.
The indications are bright all
along the line, and growing
brighter, that Goldsboro will have
an immense tobacco trade next
season. The farmers everywhere
throughout this section, for SO
miles around, are realizing by
comparison of returns that Colds
boro led the State as the best to-
bacco market last season, and
they are coming here with their
golden leaf next season. We
should be ready for the rush.
Our business men should see to
it that Goldsboro has more prize
houses-and at once.
The death of Elder J. T. Edg-
erton, of Pikeville, whose critical
illness was referred to in Fri
days ARGUS, occurred Saturday
at 7 o'clock. He was a Cody
man, greatly beloved by all who
knew him, and his death will be
sincerely mourned, not only in
his own community, but through
out his widespread acquaintance.
To his bereaved family the ARGUS
extends it's sincerest coincidence.
The funeral was held from his
late sshome in Pikeville Sunday
afternoon at 1 o'clock, and the
interment was made in the
Benjamin Aycock family burying
ground, about two miles distant.
Accidents happen all through
life and some are of very Sc
rious nature, but the sad mishap
that befell the little 4-year-old
son of Mr.. Harris Richardson on
last Wednesday is the most ap-
palling and heart rending Of the
saddest. Mr.. Richardson lives
near Fremont and hauls pine logs
to a saw mill. On the-day men
toned he had his little son with
him on the large log carriage as
he was making return trip with
a heavy load. A sudden jar of
the cart in running over a root
caused the child to fall to the
ground with his head in the rut
just in front of the large wheel
that was grinding the earth un-
der it's broad tire and weighty
load. Before the team could be
stopped the top part of the head
from just over the ear, reaching
around the forehead, was severed
from the body and mashed fiat.
The father was alone and had to
gather up the remains and carry
them home and place the dead
child in it's mothers arms.

On Wednesday, March 10th,
our class of boys were taken to
the Cotton Mill by our Superin-

Miss Ada Blair.
When we arrived at the mill
Mr.. Smith, the Superintendent,
carried us through and explained
every machine.
The first machine We saw was
the opener, where the raw cotton
is torn to pieces and the trash and
knots are taken out.
From the opener the cotton is
carried to the lapper, which is on
the second floor, by means Of
suction.
In the lapper the cotton is
again picked to pieces and il
comes out of this in sheets.

OUR COTTON MILL.
ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON

The Pupils of the Sixth Grade of Ou,
| Graded School Visit 1t and Write
| About 1t.
Some weeks ago Superintendent
Foust, who is ever active and al
ways sagacious in his efforts to
give the children of our City
Schools practical education, took
the pupils of the Sixth Grade on
IA visit of inspection to the cotton
mills, and had them afterwards to
write an account of what they
saw.
There are some forty in the
class, and every one wrote an ac-
count of his or her trip. It was
a tedious task to make selection
from among so many for publica..
ton, but after careful review,
we have selected the two below as
probably the best =
When our grade made visit to
the Cotton Mills, the Superinten-
dent was kind enough to take US
around and show us the machinery
which they used. AS he eA-
planned the work of each machine,
and told its name, we gained much
useful information
First we were taken to a ma
chine called the opener. This is
used for tearing to pieces the cot
ton.
From the opener the cotton is
carried to the second floor by
means of air and put into the lap
per. The lapper carries on the
same process as the opener, and
also puts the cotton on large
wooden rolls, and prepares it for
handling.
The next machine, which is
called the carder, is a very inter>
esting one. By means of il the
cotton is carded and put into a
round shape about the size of ones
wrist.
The draft, or stretcher, carries
on the same process of stretching
the cotton as the carder. When the
cotton comes out of the draft, the
rolls are about the size of a child s
thumb. 1t is then put into a ma
chine called the slubber, which
makes it still smaller and begins
to twist it little. Our attention
was then called to the speeder, so
called because it runs so fast.
While in it the cotton becomes
much tighter, and when we next
saw it, it. was on spools. The
spinner is used'to make the cotton
into thread. After the cotton is
spun into thread, it is put on diff
ferent spools by machine called
the spooler, Before the threads
are made into cloth, they have to
be starched SO as to make the cloth
smoother. After leaving the
sLooler. it is put into the warping
machine, and then into the slasher,
or starcher, to be starched.
After the threads are starched,
they are ready for making cloth,
so they are put into the loom.
When the threads are finished,
there are two kinds. One kind is
twisted hard for the warp, and
the other, whichis somewhat looser,
is used for the filling.
When the cloth leaves the loom,
[ suppose most of the people
would think it finished, but it is
not. 1t has to be carried to the
finishing machine, which gets all
the wrinkles out, and then it is
carried to the folding machine to
be folded. Next it is stamped,
and then bailed, which is the last
process it has to 60 through.
We learned that our cotton has
to go through sixteen different
machines before made ready for
sale.
The Superintendent made HIM
self so agreeable and explained
everything so plainly that our les
son at the Cotton Mills proved a

TARIFF LESSON.


declined nearly twenty cents a
bushel since the election Of Nc
Kinley to the Presidency. Ii
wheat had advanced in price, the
farmers would now be told by the
political organs and orators that
the farmers were reaping the be
nefcent fruits of promised pro-
lection, but as the price has
steadily declined for several
months, and as the decline has
been heaviest since the passage
of the new tariff bill through the
House, proposing largely increas-
ed mock duties on agricultural
products which we do not i'm
port, they are silent.
It is quite time that the farm
ers of the country should under
stand that the tariff has no more
to do with the price Of wheat than
the rise and fall Of the tide.
Wheat commands a high price
when the production is not equal
to the demand, and it commands
low price when there are good
crops throughout the wheat
growing world. These variations
in the price Of wheat are not af-
fected in the slightest degree by
high or low tariff, and if all ag-
ricultural products were admitted
free the farmers would not suffer
to the extent of a farthing, as
with all our great agricultural
products we practically buy none
of other countries, while selling
largely to them.
During last summer and fall
the failure of the wheat crop in
several of the wheat producing
sections of the old world caused
an extraordinary demand for the
surplus wheat in this country,
and the price advanced until it
reached nearly double the lowest
figure at which it sold during the
year. It was solely caused by
the inexorable law of supply and
demand.
Foreign countries we've short
il wheat and needed it for bread,
while this country had large
surplus crop and it commanded a
much higher price because there
was not the usual competition
from foreign countries. The ex-
traordinary demand abroad has
been supplied and wheat has fallen
in price, even with increased tariff
duties IN sight, solely because
the supply is now more nearly
equal to the demand than it was
six months ago.
The agricultural interests are
the backbone of the industries OF
this country. When they are
prosperous the country must nee
essarily be prosperous; when they
are not prosperous the country
must suffer in sympathy with
them, and there is no wilder a de-
lusion than that the price Of
wheat can be regulated either up
or down by tariff legislation. The
only possible effect that tariff
laws could have upon the farmer
would be by excessive tariff duties
imposed by this government upon
the products of other govern
ments, and thus cause retaliatory
taxes upon the products of oul
fields.
In other words, the farmer has
everything to lose by high tariff
duties which tax the farmers
more than any other particular
class, while he has everything to
gain by modrae tariff duties which
give equal opportunity to al
classes and conditions without
overtaxing any. The lesson O
to-day must be most conclusive
with all intelligent farmers thai
there can be no increase in the
market price of agricultural pro.
ducts by legislation at Washing
ton.
