As to Free

This tariff classification OF alcoholic
toilet preparations was never intended
by congress, and now that the discrim-
ination against domestic alcohol ana
our manufacturers who use it in max
ing similar goods has been discovered.
the mistake will doubtless be correcte!
in the next tariff law. but it is never
theless a positive demonstration of the
fact, since no one contends that these
toilet preparations are being purchased
for the purpose OF illicitly recovering
by distillation the alcohol which they
contain, that the objection urged
against the policy of free alcohol for
medicines and the arts by the internal
revenue bureau would not be sustain
ed in practice.
1t is confidently claimed by experts
who have examined this subject, mat
the new industries which would be es-
ia blished in the United States as the
result of a liberal policy by the gov
eminent, as to the use of commercial
alcohol free of tax, together with the
benefits which would be conferred on
allied industries, would create employ
ment for at least $50. 900 artisans.A let
ter dated October IL, 1887, addressed to
the chief of the bureau of statistics b.
the Hon.. David a. Wells, formerly
special commissioner Of the revenue,
presents a remarkable illustration OF
the theory that the abliShedment
of new Industries is Of equal benefit
to contributory industries. h letter
was prepared for the purpose OF sup
plying relative to the
quantity Of alcohol used in the arts at
that time in the United States. After
referring to the generalus of a mixture
of alcohol and turpentine as a burn
ing fluid, and the discovery of petro-
leum in Pennsylvania coincident with
the imposition of the first tax on dis
titled spirits, he concluded that por-
ton of his letter by stating that the
lamps and appurtenances devised n
adapted in the United States for the use
of the distillates Of petroleum., were
alone sufficient to employ h entire
manufacturing capacity Of all the
glassworks of the country for a term
equivalent to two entire years."
Under a carefully constructed and
faithfully administered Jaw, freeing al
cohol from tax used in medicine and
the arts, it is claimed hat exactly SIM
liar advantages would certainly result
to the many industries which are con-
%tributory to the manufacture of articles
requiring alcohol to produce them.

Facts About Pins.

CThe Boston Commercial Bulletin.)
AS a requisite of the toilet, ETC., pins
were first used in Britain in the latter
part Of the fifteenth century. They
were first made Of iron wire, but in 1910
brass ones were imported from France
by Catherine Howard, queen of Henry
VIII. The prehistoric pin, however, was
a thorn or a fishbone, n had no eX-
perience with or relation to the dry
goods or notion business until Eve i'm
proved upon the fig leaf toilet neces-
stiles. The natural thorn is still in use
in some CT the upper Egypt districts,
where the Birmingham or the Connect
lieut. article is a prime curiosity and an
unpopular innovation.
In the ruins of Pompeii Roman pins
OF bronze and hairpins Of bone or ivory
have been disinterred, while ancient
Egypt has diclosed the indispensable
article having heads Of gold. BrOnZe
pins were known to the lake jewellers
of Europe, some being artistically or
namented and elaborated with exQui-
site skill. Some that have come to
light were Of the duplex type, having
double stems, and others the same in
form as the safety pins were made by
fitting a point to a proper length Of
wire, and then twisting a piece of fine
wire around the other extremity or
fastening it after twisting in order to
form a knob or head. Ultimately these
operations were so skillfully conducted
that a completely u head was
made Of a very small size and scarcely
showing the nature Of it's construc-
ton.
Previous to the Introduction of ma
chinery the pin was, of course, en-
tirely hand made and required a pas
sage through no less than fourteen
different manipulationS before finding
it's way as a finished product into mar
ket. The brass pin which we see to-
day in it's perfect form and almost
needle pointed is turned out at an al
most incredible speed by special ma
chinery, the daily product of Birming-
ham alone being placed at about 49,
600, coo.
The solid headed pin, as differing
from that just described, was devised
by an ingenious yankee and came into
use in 1910. The domestic pin was of
sufficient Importance in 1913 to war
rant an act providing that mo person
shall put to sale any pins but such as
shall he double headed and have heads
soldered fast to the pin. we'll smoothed,
we'll rounded, filed, canted and sharp
ened.' About 100 the manufacture of
pins became quite a business in BriS-
tol and Birmingham, employing a
large number Of persons.
The pin industry in the United States
begun by colonists Of the Caro-
linas, but it was not until the year
1886 that it reached any considerable
the pins used coming from
England, although the black pins used
in black goods came from France. The
industry is now largely centred in Con-
although there are factories
in Detroit, Cincinnati and various
points in the eastern states.

APreciOuS Relic.

About the year 1749 several Spanish
privateers availing themselves of the
defenceleSS condition Of the old town
of Brunswick, entered the Cape Fear
river and committed considerable dep
relations upon the Inhabitants, but
the people Of the surrounding country
hastily collected and made an attack
upon them, and during the action one
of the piratical vessels was blown up
and a number of valuable effects were
saved from the wreck which were af-
forwards applied to the building of ST.
Philip church at Brunswick, and ST.
James, at Wilmington.
There has always been a tradition in
this locality hat in the cabin of the
privateer which was sunk nearly oppo-
site old Brunswick, there was a table
of solid gold which went to the bottom
with the ship and has never been re-
covered. If there is any truth in this
tradition what an opportunity is Of
fered for some enterprising citizen to
realize a fortune! Nothing venture,
nothing gain, is an apothiZm of every
day applicability and the chances of
success are no more separate than in
the investment of a lottery ticket. That
sometimes turns up a prize and who
knows but success might reward h
efforts of the toiler after this hidden
L ID NC IL udS UeSH Uurl0Q
for a long time but not so long as the
tables and golden candlesticks which
were thrown into the Tiber centuries
ago which science declares will be
eventually recovered. If that be true
why not our golden table also? Is the
Tiber any different from the Cape Fear,
and if n is made to disgorge it's treas
ures why not the other?
What a fortune is in store for the
lucky fellow who finds hat table, he
would have a bank to draw upon ad
and without any fear of a
bust up" We wish we had remem-
bered this when Madame Anal was
here a short time ago, we would GER
tainly have consulted her as to the
exact spot where it is located and
would have paid her fee, however large
it may " been, without a murmur or
a groan. But we are always too late
and h golden opportunity is lost,
no doubt to the fact, as
somebody n remarked, that we were
just lone drink behind" and
30 owing to hat we have lost our for
tune for all time to come.

The Widow " i'll sue the Carolina Central

L~aurinburg, N. c., March 24.-Spe-
cial.-The readers of The News n
Observer will doubtless recall the death
of Engineer w. E. Clayton, who was
killed at the post of duty near this
place on last Thanksgiving morning.
Train No. 25 was standing on the main
line at Laurel Hill and Mr.. Clayton
was running an extra, ten minutes be-
hind it. A rear-end collision resulted
in the instant death of Mr.. Clayton.
Mrs. Clayton has been of the opinion
all the time, so we understand, that
her husband lost his life through care
lessness and negligence of the preced-
ms crews, and on that ground she has
decided to institute suit for damages.
On last Saturday she qualified as ad-
ministratriX, aud through her attor-
neys, Messrs. NJ. S. John, of this place,
and Frank MCNEIL, of Wilmington,
brought suit for damages against the
Carolina Central Railroad Company.
The suit was Instituted in New Hano-
yer county, and the amount, We under
stand, was SO, coo.
