The old obstacles that used to prevent
the marriage of loving couples are out of
date. The Observation-Disclosures william is a
myth nowadays. The cruel father is only
tradition. Distance, absence and ship
wreck in these days of cheap, safe and
swift transportation do not count. The
new obstacle is a common sense one. It
is ill-health on one side or the other, and
sometimes on both.
Men nowadays hesitate to marry worn-
an, no matter how beautiful, no matter how
a sufferer from i11-health. All men worth
having desire happy, healthy children.

This m orning it was discovered in
the possession of a youth from the

The Rabbit Foot in Question.

The Pittsburg Dispatch guess
tins the authenticity of the sto-
ry about the New Jersey man
who claims to have a rabbit-foot
which Dewey carried with him
on the day of his great triumph
at Manila, and seems inclined to
take the whole matter half Sc
rlousiy.
Indeed, the editorial which it's
editor has prepared is headed "a
Libel on Dewey" and the public
are warned not to put too much
faith in the Jerseyman's State
ment, The Smoky City man as
serts, and not without reason,
that even granting that the gal
liant New Englander was equip
ped with the west rear quarter
of graveyard bunny killed in
the fore quarter Of the moon, it is
hardly possible that he would
have parted with such precious
charm. But the editor concludes
that the whole story is a pros
duction of the bogus news~gaths
erer, and protests against such
manufactured reports. He thinks
Dewey's triumph just at this
time Is too sacred subject for
frivalous rumors, and that the
hero himself should be spared
iron journalistic vagaries.
Our Pittsburg contemporary
admits that things wouldn't be
so bad if the Admiral merely
carried a buckeye to ward of
rheumatism, but the idea that
any Vermonter, much less
Dewey, should work" the rab-
betsfoot On the public. is more
than it's sensitive nature can
stand.

Mrs. Lee.

Richmond Dispatch.
The venerable mother of Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee is no more OF
this earth. Old age and disease
have no Ionoer dominion over her:
she is with the great company OF
the blessed, we have the right to
believe.
Her life compassed some Of the
most eventful decades of this
country's existence and her asso
citation was with many of the
greatest and best men and women
Virginia has ever known.
She was a type of true woman-
hood, giving comfort and joy to
those about her, and bearing her
affections as became one of her
heroic blood and connections,
Having been blind for years, a
misstep brought about an injury
which fastened her end with un-
expected rapdity.
Hundreds of our, people made
her acquaintance while she resided
here with her son when he was
Governor, and to know her was to
love her. Her death sewers link
with precious past, and leaves
inconsolable wide circle of
friends and kindred.
Mrs. Anna Maria Lee, relict
of Captain Sydney Smith Lee and
mother of General Fitzhugh Lee
died at the home of her son, Cap
tain Daniel NJ. Lee, in Stafford
county, Thursday morning.
Last Sunday Mrs. Lee, who was
in the 8Sth year of her age, a
great sufferer from rheumatism
and totally blind, fell while walke
ing across her room unattended
and broke her hip. 1t was not at
first thought that her injuries were
of a very serious nature, but
Wednesday shew grew worse, and
the end came early Thursday
morning.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE,
Wayne County Teachers Hold a Successful
Week of Intercourse in Go1dsboro.

Wayne County Teachers Hold Successful
Week of Intercourse In Goldsboro.
During these election times,
with the papers full of politics,
we have neglected to speak of the
work of the Wayne county Teach
ers Institute recently closed in this
city.
The Institute was conducted by
Col. A. G. Davis, chairman OF
the County Board of Education,
who was ably assisted by Mr.. E j..
T. Atkinson, Supervisor of schools,
one of the best officers in the
county.
The attendance Of teachers
was large, and from the opening
to the close Of the session there
was great interest manifested.
While Col, Davis is not now q
teacher, yet he has had perhaps
larger experience N educational
work than any other man in the
State, and is one of the best
known educators in the South
having for years presided over
one Of the largest and most sue
cessful educational institutions
in the Southern States; and while
now pursuing successfully the
practice of law, he showed by his
work ia the Institute that be has
lost none of his old time skill and
sagacity as a trainer of the hus
man mind and his power for
grasping the knotty questions
that so often confront the ag-
gressive teacher in the school
room.
All of the many who attended
the Institute went away feeling
benefited and will long
and pleasantly remember their
common intercourse together for
the better training of the young
minds committed to their care.

Cotton a. The Mills.

Cotton at A to cents pound ie
not over pleasing to the farmers OF
the South, but nevertheless it has
its compensations It should lead to
the growing of home supplies, and
possibly to the production, here and
there, of other cash crops. Even il
neither of those changes be accom-
plished, the low price works heavily
in favor of Southern cotton milling,
as a glance at a few figures will
plainly show.
IF cotton be worth in the South 9
cents it will bring in Fall River 10
cents in round numbers, or an ad-
vance of 10a per cent. IF cotton be
worth A cents in the south, it will
bring 81 cents in Fall River. In the
latter case southern mills have an
advantage in raw material of 81 per
cent; in the former case of 1O3 per
cent In discussing this subject the
Huntsville Mercury pertinently
says:
"With cotton selling for only a
fraction over cents in New York,
it compels the eastern spinners to
pay nearly 25 per cent more for cot
ton than is paid by southern spin
ners who buy their cotton at the
very doors of their mills. The advan-
tage, coupled with cheaper and bet
ter labor, cheaper fuel and better
climatic conditions will eventually
close the eastern mills and give the
south a monopoly in cotton spinning
as well as cotton growing.
1.-THE cotton farmers are not enti-
tied to credit for this blessing, for it
came strictly in disguise, but they
have paid dearly for it, even though
the returns will eventually reimburse
for the privations they now suffer
Under the present conditions it will
not be exceeding ten years before the
south will have mills enough to spin
more cotton than is now spun in the
United States. Then the prices will
be made here instead of New York
and Liverpool, and the cotton
farmer will get the benefit of the
change"

The Havana Task.

AhO PAOFAOAObol SOSCA hhISbC VI
Cuba needs at its head a wise
administrator. It needs, too, a
man who knows the people and the
island. Scarcely any man in the
country meets the requirements OF
the post as General Fitzhugh Lee
would, and the country evidently
anticipates and sanctions his ap-
pointment to the position of mill
tary governor. In that case be
would be to Havana and Western
Cuba what General Wood is to
Santiago and Eastern Cuba. Two
military governors are needed, be-
cause the two sections of the long
island are not connected by rail-
road lines. This amounts in this
age to complete disseverance.
The task Of the military gov
ernor of western Cuba is to col
lect sufficient revenue, not only
to meet current expenses. but to
establish public schools in every
locality, to promote the building
of lines of Communication. to es
tablish order and security, and
above all else to cleanse Havana
The last named task is one of no
light magnitude. The late Colonel
Waring estimated the cost at
$22. 100000. and the chances are
that he did not overestimate it..
For not only are centuries of
filth to be removed, but a sewer
system is to be constructed for
a town of $50 900 people. and a
canal must be cut that will turn
the shut-in. cesspool-like bay into
a sheet of water that does not
stagnate, that is free from filth.
bad smells and disease germs. It
is a big task, and to secure means
to meet it without overburdening
the people of Cuba is job that
calls for the highest executive
ability.
If General Fl zhugh Lee says
the city of Eavana cannot bear
the expense of cleansing from
end to end, Including the foul
aud Shiny and rotten harbor, then
indeed this government should
lend it temporary assistance. for
Havana must be cleaned. The
safety and security of the cotton
states depend upon it. Yellow
fever cannot be banished from
this country until Havana is
cleansed. Yellow fever cannot be
fought back by any possible
sanitation when a boat can bring
over new lot Of germs in every
trip it makes during hot weather.
Engineering and executive talent
are continuously needed in Ha>
vana, and the country looks to
the administration to meet the
emergency in the appointment of
men like Fitzhugh Lee and the
lamented Waring.
