Betty's Arithm etic Lesson.

T. Betty was eating one of mammals
lovely round turnovers and studying
fractions. She. had just begun to take
little nibbles from the edge Of the
turnover, to make it spend,'' when
papa gave her a. question to work out
From four-fourths take one-fourth.''
Betty thought fractions dreadfully
stupid things. She didn't try to think
out the answer in the way papa had
explained to her over and over. but
guessed it would be "'seven- eighths!''
and put it down on the paper that way.
Then she took another nibble out of
the side of her beloved turnover.
Papa looked at the answer and then
at Betty. Then he looked at the
turnover and lastly at shaggy old
Bruno, who had just come into the
room. He took out his knife and
taking the turnover he cut it into four
quarters.
Now, Betty" he said, cheerfully,
as I told you yesterday, and as you
see here, there are four-fourths or four
quarters, in the whole of anything.
Now if we take away one-fourth-
here, Bruno what is there left?"
Betty saw a quarter Of that beauti-
full turnover disappear down Bruno,s
throat!
Is Three q-arters!' she said, with
little gasp in her voice.
And if you believe me, Betty never
forgot how to work in "fourths" after
that. Youth's Companion.

An act Of Congress approved on the
18th of June last, authorized President
Mckinley to appoint commission to
consist of nineteen members, five
members of the Senate, five members
of the House and nine other persons
who shall fairly represent the different
industries and employments. Nine
members of the non-partisan commits
sion authorized by the act are to collate
information, to consider and recon-
mend legislation to meet the problems
presented by labor, agriculture and
capital. The commission is authorized
to visit all parts of the United States
and to hold public hearings whenever
it chooses to do so. All the evidence
laid before the commission and what
ever conclusions it reaches, OF recon-
mendations it may make are to be sub
mitted to Congress as soon as practl-
cable. The life of the commission is
to be two years and its members will
receive $4,000 q year and expenses.
The announcement of the appointment
of the congressional members appeared
some time ago, but the appointment
of the nine representatives Of the diff
ferent industries and employments
was not made until Monday, the 5th
inst. There were more more than one
hundred and fifty prominent men ap-
plicants for the nine places, and they
were from all sections of the country
and members Of all political parties.
The efforts of the southern mill men to
have Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, president
of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company,
appointed on the commission have been
successful. The commission was an
nounced as follows: Andrew L. Harris,
Ohio; S. N. D. North, Massachusetts;
Frank P. Sargeant, Illinois; Ellison A..
Smyth, South Carolina; John NJ. Far
quhar, New York; Eugene D. Conger,
Michigan; Thomas w. Phillips. Penn
sylvania; Charles j. Harris, North Car
.olina; c. M. d. Ratchford, Indiana.
The work Of the body will pre- badly be
very important and is likely to result
in legislation which will have far
reaching effects on the manufacturing
business of the country-cotton manu-
featuring especially. 1t is quite likely
that the commission will be called to-
gether on the 18th Of September for
organization.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish q
letter written by S. w. Vance, State
Commissioner of the Dispensary, i'll re-
ply to letter to Governor Ellerbe
asking for information as to the adding
of water to the whiskey poured into
the dispensary tank prior to bottling,
and we direct the attention of our
readers to it. We disclaim any inten-
ton OF desire to accuse any one, either
directly or by insinuation, of wrong
doing, but inasmuch as Mr.. Vance
admits that corn and rye whiskey are
reduced in the State dispensary by the
addition of water, and We know of 10
law authorizing this practice nor hedg-
ing it about so as to make it perma-
nant, uniform and subject to public
inspection, we would point out the fact
that it affords an opportunity of unlinl-
tied stealing. There is, i'll all proba-
bility, more so-proof whiskey sold than
any other grade, and to every 100 bar
rels there are added twenty barrels OF
water, (which, on a basis of 40 gallons
to the barrel. produces 800 gallons
surplus, and if this surplus is accounted
for it must, in the absence of any law
providing for an accounting to be made,
be left to the arbitrary will and hon
esty of those i'll control. 1t is possible
for this surplus amount of whiskey
produced by water to reach, in few
years, many thousands of gallons. 1t
is free from taxation by the General
Government because it is water and it
should produce Il clear profit mcasur-
able exactly by the gallons sold. This
surplus may be, and probably is, car
ried into the general stock and properly
accounted for ON the books OF the

Commissioner of Agriculture Ncsbitt,
of Georgia. estimates that the cotton
crop of that State is nom 10 to 90 per
cent. less than it was last year. 1t is
now believed that this will be the case
throughout the cotton States. The boil
worm is doing great damage in Texas,
and the recent heavy rains which have
been general, will cut off the yield in
the other States. We sincerely hope
that the price of the staple will be
advanced, and we believe it will if the
farmers will not rush it to the market.
