BY SLOW EVOLUTION.
xhus, Says Henry White, Must Come rras
 provement of the Worker.

provement of the Worker.
 Under the auspices of the Peoples institute of New York Henry White, general secretary of the United Gar. ment Workers, delivered an address re. gently in which he said:
 Fifty years ago, when labor saving machinery was yet in its infancy, the re- lations between employer and employee were quiet friendly The functions of She employees were fraternal. But now things are changed, and the breach be- tween the two classes seems to widen daily. The rich become richer and the poor poorer. Why is this? Is is because there are so many unemployed in ths labor market who are forced to com. pete wtth the employed, lowesing wages and spreading misery.
 Trades unionism Is trying to root out this evil which Is menacing society by quiet but persistent agitation. The inl- provement of the condition of the mass. es cannot be brought about by a general uprising Of the working class. The sal. vation of suffering humanity Is a mat. ter of evolution-slow, but sure The trades union is the most powerful factor In this evolution.
 If the number of the employed were reduced gradually, we should soon reach such condition that there would be enough for everybody and all disoontent would disappear. We have innumerabIe statistics to show that If the people have the courage to grapple with the question general eight hour day could be established in few years The evo- lution would be very gradual, but cer. tain. know it to be fact that if every workingman worked eight hours day and child labor is abolished every man in the country may have work enough to support his family deeently
 Reforms could then be introduced which would have a reasonable chance of being successful, because the people would then be intelligent enough to adopt them. A man working eight hours day has leisure enough to educate himself. When the people are dull and stupid, like cattle, reforms have DO ef- feet. They may be introduced by intel- igent and energetic enthusiasts but the seed which is so8n falls on barren ground There is no response. Those fox whom the reforms are intended are too dull to grasp their significance and value.
 Another evil, the tendency of which is to aggrayate the misery brought on by the vast hordes of the unemployed, is the tendency of the agrarian popula- tion to migrate to the centers of popu. lation. More and more laborers from the farms come to the cities every year. The cities are already overcrowded, and these agricultural workmen bring star vation and suffering of every description in their train.
 Work should be made more oongeniai to the agricultural laborer His hours of labor should be reduced. He should be treated like q man, and he should be deoently paid. It is the imperative duty of OUT legislators to influence legislation in the direction of improving the oondi- tion Of the agrarian population. They would only be protecting the interests ef their constituents

MAKE THE MEN MARKET.
Woman Writers Bold Suggestion to
 Help Weary Wives.

There are few things that exhaust woman more than days shopping. The average man looks upon woman 8 "purohasing day" as one of pleasure, but when he accompanies her on one of these shopping expeditions he goes home, after his patience has been all ex- hausted with a different belief. He learns, too, that woman can endure vacations and disappointments with much more equanimity than he can, and hs mentally vows never to do 1t again.
 The number of miles traversed is really what tires one, and it is little wonder that the woman who does the shopping for herself and her entire fam fly, as we'll as the marketing and the bargaining with the "butoher and bak- CT and candiestiok maker, should feel the need o1 rcss for her tiTe9 nerve
 The man of the house should always do the marketing. In the old days when the butler was not the stately parsonage he is now, women were nev- CT troubled with the worries of house. hold purchasing, for the head of the house did the entire buying, and "James' carried the parcels and was not ashamed to do it.
 No mother who has the care of little children should give the precious morn ing hours to anything else but the nursery, nor should she let butchers and grocers' boys call for and deliver orders, because there is sare to be dis satisfaction if she does. ol-Ae wealtly families allow their chef to take charge of the household, and he collects large percentage from the tradesmen, which, of course, is added to the monthly bill. Reputable storekeepers will not do this kind of business, however, and the chef patronage is controlled entirely by few men. On the whole, it is much more satisfactory for the man of the house to do the marketing. He will get the best meat, have his orders promptly attended to and save about 20 per cent in the transaction, as we'll as the health of bis wife. Chicago Times. Herald.

time a year previous. This rapid
increase in the exports Of Ameri-
can cotton to the millsln japan
will be better appreciated when it
Is stated that the exports for 1885,
50 amounted TO only 23,5OO
pounds, and in 1929 to only
1922 pounds. The beginning
OF the recent advance in expora-
tons was in I694-G5, when tho
exports reached over ten million
pounds, and the next year over
twenty million pounds.
Should the factories of tho
south ever lose their hold upon
the native population for their
help, they will have the negro
population to fall back upon,
which will be more desirable for
factory employees 10 to 20 years
hence than it is today. The south
ern factory population may pass
through similar phases as has been
experienced in New England,
where 80 years ago the factory
population was made up princi-
pally Of tho sons and daughters
of New England farmers. but now
their places are taken by foreign
ers. first, mostly by Irish and later
by French Canadians, while in
some OF our manufacturing CEN
tres there has crown up con-
siderable population Of Poles and
some Of tho least desirable from
the central and southern Europe.

COTTON AND COTTON MILLS.
Facts and Comments OF Interest
to Everybody in South Caro-
lima.
Textile World.

The cotton crop for this season
is superior in nearly all Of its
qualities to that Of last season.
AS near as We can ascertain from
numerous inquiries from the
largest cotton buyers for the New
England mills, the crop, in clean
Illness, Is | per cent. better than
last year, In length Of staple 6 per
cent. better, and in spinning quail
tiles, 10 per cent. better, while
the average grade is about the
same.
1t seems now pretty conclusive
that We shall have a cotton crop
this season OF 100000 bales.
Estimates have been made rang
ing from 9,G50,0OO to 100000
bales. Prices fUr this commodity
are likely TO continue below the
cost Of production long after the
planting season for next years
crop. which will have material
influence, in our opinion, i'm de-
Gliding planters to cuytail their
cotton crop and lovotc it more TO
cereals.
Il may ba interesting 10 note
that cotton clothes have deDre-
