Being Invested in Manufacture
ing Enterprise in Elizabeth
City.

Very few people in Elizabeth
City, know that a stock COM
pany has recently been organi.
zed here with capital to the
amount of fifty thousand dollars,
to be invested in manufacturing
enterprises. But such, we learn,
is the fact.
A few days ago Mr.. E. r.
Wixon, Of Providence, R. l.,
came South with several thou
sand dollars to invest in South
ern enterprises. Having secur
ed through ticket, over the N.
& S. Railroad, he gave Eliza
abeth City the go-by and went
to Edenton and there remained
several days. On his return
trip Mr.. Wixon stopped to take
a peep at us, and was in the
city scarcely a day before he
had become favorably impressed
with our town and people. He
was met by one of our most
progressive citizens, Mr.. N. R.
Zimmerman, who delighted in
showing him our town arc
country. Among the many
things pointed out to the visi-
tor was the little mill on Poin~
dexter street known as the Cot.
ton Mills Supply Company.
Knowing the demand for its
product he became interested,
purchased stock and organized a
company with $4,000 capital.
Mr.. Wixon is now North pur>
chasing the latest improved ma
chinery for the mill, and as soon
as it arrives and is put in mos
ton everything used in a cotton
factory, such as spools, spindles,
&c, will be manufactured by
this concern. Other enterprises
will be started by the Company
later.

BISMARCK AND AMERICA.
He Did Not Like Us, but Two of His
Best Friends Were Americans.
Prof. w. NJ. Sloane. in the Century.

Prof. w. M. Sloane, in the Century.
Bismarclk's feelings toward the United
On the one hand, he saw with dismay the
extent and quality OF German emigration
A landed proprietor himself, he could not
but sympathize with his fellow-jounkers,
whose peasant villages were partly and in
many cases entirely deserted by their in
habitants. Labor becoming scarce and dear;
American and English agricultural machin-
cry forced on unwilling buyers, who fretted
under the compulsory use of what they
could not easily manipulate: prices of farm
products no longer assured by the demands
of home market but subjected to the
fluctuations of a world market in which the
United States is the controlling dealer-all
these things gave him pain and anxiety.
He suffered, too, along with his class. As
patriot he felt it likewise to be grave
evade their military service, and still more
grave that millions should substantiate the
saying that Germans had little patriotism.
exemplifying, in the ease with which they
acquired new citizenship, the motto: Ubi
bene, ibi patra Only fatherland is where
am prosperous The prosperity and con-
tentedness of the German-American were a
menace to the institutions under which he
had been neither prosperous nor contented.
He also saw that the growing industries of
gerous rival of Germany in the coming
struggle for commercial supremacy with
Great Britain.
on the other hand, two of Bismarck's
warmest friendships were with Americans
Bancroft and Motley. 1t was by his favor
solely that the existing emigration and citi-
zenship treaties between the German en-
pire and the United States were negotiated
through Bancroft. In 1869 there was a sus-
picious outburst in the public prints of both
continents against the American historian.
This Bismarck attributed to the combined
hostility of England and OF the German
particularists. Accordingly, he wrote to
Motley with, the frankness of intimate ac-
quaintafce, begging him to do what he
could to prevent the threatened removal of
his friend. His language in speaking of
Bancroft is remarkable: He represents
practically the same great process of devel-
opment in which Moses. the Christian rev.
citation and the Reformation appear as
stages, and in opposition to which the
Caesarean power of ancient and modern
times, the clerical and dynastic prejudices
of the people, offer every hindrance, includ-
ing that of eliminating an honest and
ideal minister like Bancroft.

would Die in Harness.

Fanny Davenport was probably the most
indefatigable worker on the American stage
She was devoted to her profession No mat
ter how tired by travel or pleasure she
might be, she always insisted upon regular
rehearsals, and was determined to keep
every engagement and nil every contract
to the letter. Whatever may be thought OF
her acting. there can be but one opinion OF
her endeavor. An example of this occurred
during her last stop in this city when she
was reviving Cleopatra" She had not
been WELL thousand little Ills of body and
mind had combined to break her down, yet
she was working as hard as ever A friend
of hers In this city asked her IL there was

starch, catsups in which poisonous
acids were found, alleged olive oils
that were made from worse than cot
ton seed, coffee that contained but lit
tie if any coffee, and condensed milk
in which not trace of butter fat could
be found" Such an exhibit will not be
without value, If it shall teach the peo-
ple who see it to exercise caution, as
il no doubt will, in the selection of
food. There is some reason to be-
Iieve that some of the cheap food sold
in this city would, If investigation
were made, be found entitled to place
in the exhibit.
"A careful estimate of the loss by the
Baldwin hotel fire places the total at
S1.5O0,OO0, on which at the outside
there was not over $15O, 900 insurance.
The insurance, $4,000, carried on the
hotel, was ridiculously small. The rea-
son for this lay in the high rate
charged and the fact that the under
writer's did not care to carry a large
line on such building built of wood
with no brick dividing walls, and but
one outside wall of brick. The insur-
ance on the stocks Of goods in the
burned stores and their fittings
amounts to $72,250. George A. Moss
carried $22,8OO, Hyman & Myers,
$500, Isaac Grant of the drug store,
$4,000, J. J. Groom, $4,000, Moses A..
Gunst Co., $4,000; J. Edlin, $500 and
smaller sums were carried by other
tenants. The smoke and water dam
age in the adjoining building was
$4,000, so that $150,OOO will cover the
insurance loss.

ton Is the golden mean between induI-
gence and asceticism. A broad knowl-
edge and general application of econ
omics constitutesthe science of living.
To Illustrate: If you stint your diet,
such food as you do take will be receiv-
ed gratefully by stomach which has
accumulated surplus energy. Every or
gan in the body will be eager and work
hard for its supply Of pabulum. Assim-
ilation is therefore improved. A salts
fed stomach means a healthy liver,
regular bowels, sound and resistant
nerves, dreamless and refreshing sleep.
Just the right amount OF exercise
means a healthy degree of fatigue,
even distribution of blood and relief
of nervous tension predlsposing to rest
and. recuperation. Too much exercise
causes active congestions and undue
nervous exhaustion; too little exercise
results in passive congestions and ac-
cumulative nervous irritability.

One of the most interesting and i'm
portant Of recent contributions to the
science of oceanography is the chart
and paper recently presented to the
Royal Society Of London by Sir John
Murray, naturalist to the famous Chal-
lenger expedition of 1873. The cele-
brated Scottish geographer and scien-
tist has spent many years In the prep
aration of the chart he has now given
to the world, and its practical utility Is
even greater than it's scientific interest.
It was made as result Of numerous
sea surveys by himself and others, and
shows the annual range Of surface tenn
perature of the ocean for every two de-
grees square from the Arctic to the
Antarctic circle. The value Of such a
chart will readily be recognized by sea-
men, though Mr.. Murray concerns him
self chiefly with the relation Of marine
temperature to biological phenomena.
Every one knows that sea temperature
is more uniform than that Of the land.
but 1t is somewhat surprising to learn
from these charts that the mean daily
range Of temperature of the surface
waters Of the Atlantic is only 8 Of a
degree, and that it is probable that no
where on the ocean is there greater
daily change average than, l degree
Fahrenheit, whereas on land range Of
81 degrees has been observed in South
America in four hours.

The national debt Of Spain is equiv
alent to one-fifth of the whole wealth
Of the kingdom, or ninety-four dollars
per capita. The annual interest is six
dollars per capita. The debt of the
United States is less than one-one-hun-
dred-and-fiftiet of our wealth, and the
interest is but fifty three cents to each
Of our population. Our total valuation
In 1890 was one thousand and thirty
six dollars per capita; theirs only four
hundred and sixty dollars. This means
that the people Of Spain are taxed on
their debt alone nearly twelve times
as high as we, with little more than
two-ffths the means to pay. If we
measure their burden by their financial
strength, 1t is nearly thirty times as
heavy as ours. Unhappy Spain, the
victim Of incompetent and dishonest
rulers, and Of a cruel colonial policy
which has exhausted its home re-
sources!

The extreme safety Of railway travel
Il emphasized by the fact that during
the past year but one person was killed
for every two millions carried. Next
to a railway train, a thunderstorm
seems the safest place to be in. Less
than two hundred deaths occurred from
lightning Last year in the United States.
Yet when thunderstorm invaded
their locality, doubtless most Of the

A report Of general interest and value
In the economic world is that of the
department Of labor in France, re-
Gently issued. The report fills four
good-sized volumes and treats exhaus-
lively upon several Of the subjects
covered by 1t. Perhaps the most sig
nificant bearing Of the report is upon
the Industrial condition of France in
connection with its almost stationary
population and the tendency of the
latter, as In America, England. Ger
many and Russia, to drift toward the
cities. France, unlike Germany and
most other European countries which
are rapidly increasing in population,
had only 3S,45O,0OO in 1892. as COM
pared with 34,174,OO In 1S4O-an in
crease Of only one-eighth. But in this
interval Of fifty-two years its miles of
railway increased from 25O to $4,000
and the number of passengers carried
upon them from 100000 to 2eS,OO0,-
600. During the same period the num-
Der Of letters and postal cards increased
from 147,00O,O0O to 1,850,OOO,OOO. The
imports also increased about flve-fold,
its exports fourfold, and the yield of
its iron mines about skiold, while the
production Of sugar increased about
seventeenfold. This slackening of pop
ulation and increase Of production Of
all kinds In industry have had two
great results. The French laborer re-
ceives more for his toll and lives bet
ter proportionately than the laborer of
fifty years ago. Thus in 1840-5 the
daily wage in France, outside Of Paris
and it's environs, was Ala cents for
men and 2O.4 cents for women. The
tables show a gradual rise In wages
until in 1913 men received on an aver
age Of 78 cents and women 43 cents per
day. The relative inferiority Of wo-
mems wages remains, as in 1840, about
one-half that Of men. Even where wo-
men are employed side by side with
men and do the same work they do not
receive the same wages, showing that
sex is the determining factor.
