devil fish are again making life a burden
to the boatmen on the bay. They have
abOunded in those waters for several
months past, and are more aggressive than
heretofore. A few days ago Capt. Hewitt
of the Earle was coming up the bay when
one of those monsters attacked the boat,
and it was wonder that it was not
swamped, but this was prevented by the
presence of mind displayed by the cap
tain. The fish came very near overturning
the boat and it was flooded with water,
nearly washing the first mate overheard.

FACTORIES IN THE SOUTH.
Statistics Showing Their Increase in
Number I'm the Past Seven Years.

Number in the Past Seven Years.
From the New York Sun.
The growth of manufacturing interests
in the south in the past few years IS
shown by the fact that there are now In
the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas and
Virginia 1874 cotton mills, with 3, 451, 6Sl spin
dies and 9O,16S looms besides seventy-two
knitting mills. In 1890 the total number of
spindles in the states named was l,5S3, $50,
so that the increase since that year has
been about 100 per cent. OF the cotton
mills. 24g, representing about two-thirds
of all the spndles and looms, are on the
line of the Southern railway There are
now 81 per cent. more spindles on the line
of this road than there were in the whole
south in 1890 and the greater proper ton
of the increase has occurred in the last
three years.
The wooden mills of these seven south
ern states number eighty-eight and are sit
uated as follows: Alabama, 2; Georgia, 5;
Kentucky, IS; Mississippi. /; North Car
DINA, 10; Tennessee, %; Virginia, "a About
fifteen of these mills are also cotton or
knitting mills. OF the total nearly one
half are located on the line of the South
ern railway and these include most of the
largest ones.

THE CONVICT QUESTION.
An Interview with Hon. j. J. Nc
DOnOuGh on the Subject.
From the Washington Post.


From the Washington Post.
Hon. John J. McDonough of Savannah,
Ga, who was seen at the Raleigh last
evening, is a leading citizen of the Geor-
gia seaport and a member of the legisla-
ture of his state. on being asked by e
Post reporter if the penitentiary scandals
that had been lately ventilated in the
press of the country to the discredit Of
Georgia were true. Mr.. McDonough re-
piled:
1.-THE outrageous treatment of the con-
Victs has not been exaggerated. The en-
tire management of the penitentary has
been disgraceful. and the system needs to
be radically changed. A policy that al
lows the convicts to be hired out, so that
their labor comes in competition with
free labor, is detrimental to the best in
terests of the public. 1t is unfair to the
men who toll hard to support their fam
lies and unjust to other employers, who
have TO pay four and five times as much
for free labor. Only a few men are bene-
fitted by the system, while hundreds are
injured.
1.-THE best way in the world to settle
the convict problem is to utilize the men
in building good public roads. In such
employment convicts do not come in COM
petition with honest WOrhinsmen, ana IN
the construction of good highways every
class of people is directly interested.
Good roads are worth untold thousands
to a state, and l maintain there is no
better way TO obtain them than to put
violators of the law at work building
them. In my county of Chatham we
have made a beginning in this direction,
with the most satisfactory results, pris-
oners confined for misdemeanors having
bppF Qp1plOVed 1qlxinp a QnOd roads
as have ever seen. The same plan can
be followed in every country in the state.
and there Is no doubt of its beneficent
operation"

George w. Smalley, of London Times,
Lectures on Journalism,

George w. Smalley, Yale '63, the emf
nent journalist, who is at present the
New York correspondent of the London
Times, addressed the Yale union last
evening in the College street hall on the
subject Journalism He was intro
duced by President Studinski of the
Yale union. Mr.. Smalley said, in part:
Complaints are constantly made of
the newspapers that they turn private
life into public, assail men Of merit in
their columns, deal in all sorts of con-
tumely, and when you ask them why
they do all this they say, Because the
public demands it, and we are willing
to do what the public will pay for
''Put there are several kinds of pub
lie opinion, and while sensational jour-
nalism may satisfy one class, the better
kind of journalism reaches perhaps a
smaller class, yet it reaches a class that
is more influential in the long run.
1--WE talk about majority rule, but the
majority does not rule, never has ruled
and never will rule. We have all wit
messed a man who was patriotically at
tempting to negotiate public loan for
his county virulently assailed by one
paper and without replying, living
down the attack made upon him.
1T is important for us to decide
whether the best kind of journalism
shall rule or a worse. We have Just
witnessed the jingoism Of certain Amer
lean sensational papers which has
practically made kindling wood of the
arbitra tion treaty.
IF sensational journalism is to con-
troll then it will indeed be bad for our
country and its institutions. 1t is the
duty of the true journalism to stand
up for the right principles, and thus to
get the public to stand by what is
best

BOARD or COMPENSATION,
Hearing on the Proposed Widening of
Derhy Ayenna

Hearing on the Proposed Widening of
Derby Avenue.
The layout adopted by the board of
public works for the widening of Derby
avenue was considered by the board of
compensation last evening, and several
property on the avenue were
heard upon the subject of benefits and
damages.
Attorney Henry G. Newton appeared
before the board in behalf of w, H. H
Hewitt He said that his clients prop
erty would be greatly damaged by the
change made.
George Matthews appeared for Annie
L. Matthews. He thought that the
property he represented would be dam
aged fully one-third It was now val
ued at $40 per front foot.
w. D. Judson, representing Jared
Sperry, thought damages should be
awarded the latter. Annie E. Clark
also wanted damages.
F. S. Andrew was undecided as tC
whether damages should be assessed OF
not.
Charles A. Ferry thought the layout
would make the avenue crooked. He
also thought that the widening should
be done from both sides and not from
one, as is proposed in the layout.
Linus, Fred l.. and Solomon Mead, a
of whom favored the widening of tAG
avenue, thought the Fair Haven anG
Westville Railroad company should pay
all the damages. 1t was the only one
benefited. It was to makS it possible
too, for the company to double-track its
road.
The board adjourned to meet agair
next Friday evening, when the Fail
Haven and Westville company will be
heard. The Yale field corporation viii
also be represented at the meeting.

that he did not regard either claimant
as having a legal claim against the
city, but he believed from certain cir
cumstances connected with the Ensign
claim that the overpaid tax should be
paid back. In accordance with this
opinion it was voted that the propOr-
tionate school amount of the excess
tax due the Ensign estate should be
paid back without interest. 1t amounts
to about $75. 1t was voted that Mr..
Condor be given leave to withdraw his
claim.
Mr.. Connor of the building commit
tee recommended that the finance COM
mittee be authorized to purchase a lot
on Poplar street, 25X120 feet, in the rear
of the new Lombard street school, as it
was desirable that the district should
own extra land adjoining the school.
The finance committee was so author
lied, provided that the purchase price
of the lot came within the appropria-
ton for such purposes.
Superintendent Kendall submitted a
report of the attendance at the city
schools, showing a comparison of the
total enrolment in each district with
that of last year. The report shows
that there have been increases in en-
rollment in the following schools:
Eaton, Sc; Winchester, 1902; Lowell, AZ;
Welch, 400; Strong, 297; Boardman, 80:
decreases as follows: High school, 20;
Webster, 224; Wooster, Sc; Hamilton,
rs; Dwight, SO; Day, 10, The report
shows that there are 306 more boys en-
rolled than girls and that there is a
total increase in the enrolment of 400
pupils over the enrolment of last year.
The committee on finance submitted
a report for the month ending April IA,
1897, The report shows the total re-
ceipts to have been $4S, 1913, total ex-
penditures $36, 6,S94.S1. The salaries of
teachers for the month amounted to
$25, 5,4S9.74, of janitors s2,083.2S, expense
for text books $2,4S3.76. The total ex-
penditure for permanent improvements
during the month was 1,39827.
