fortunes In Cotton.

The business history of j. II. Farce.
who died recently in Randleman, Ran

correspondent in the Evening Post Is
a fair illustration Of how fortunes have
been made in the Carolinas in recent

r. .ss Less than ten years ago Mr.. Far
rec, and an associate came here from the
N TO Randleman. with a capital Of
only $4,000 between them. This sum
they invested. with others, in a cotton
mill when Mr.. Farce died he was re-
nuted 10 be possessed of several hum
dred tho usand dollars worth Of property.
beipp int rested financially in half a dOzeu
cotton-mil's
There is apparently no fear that the
monev-mak ing days are over About
tvelve new mill companies have been
formed in the Carolinas during the two
months Of L ne present year. In the
growing development of o foreign trade
lies the belief { hat there is no immediate
danger of over-I reduction. A South car
ollna mill recen tly shipped twenty car
loads of its products IL Japan. Another
concern has a contract TO furnish a Chi
nese firm with all the goods that 1t can
turn out for the next six or seven months
The writer has been told that much
money will this year be invested In the
two Corolinas by Northern capitalists.
Instead Of building new mills these North
ern capitalists are seeking stock in the
more prosperous mills already in opera
ton
Anothtr plan is to furnish part or the
whole OF the amount required to enlarge
a number of small mills.

NEW SEWER LAW
IS DISCUSSED.
No Uniform Rule of easements Can
Be Established.
EACH CASE ON IT'S MERITS
The City Attorney Advises That Mode
of Procedure--The Council Has
Discretionary Powers a. to
Cost Borne 10y the City.

4 subcommittee of the Committee on
Streets was engaged for two hours last
night I'm discussing question OF great
interest 10 the people of hichmond, name
ly. how TO arrive at fair and equi'do
plan for the assessment Of TAX TOT
the construction OF sewers. There were
present al the meeting Messrs. Otway
:. Allen. Reuben burton. and g. X. Pol-
lock. CITY Attorney g. V. Meredith
and CITY Engineer W. T. Cutshaw were
also on hand. Sergeant-at-Ar George
g. Ruskell recorded in the absence Of the
clerk.
The appointment Of the committee was
in pursuance Of a resolution onered by
Mr. Pollock. who had in mind the terrible
burden that would be placed upon the
people Of Fifth street. should the con-
struction Of the sewer contemplated In
that section be charged against their
property.
MUCH DISCUSSED.
The sewer question was discussed at
great length. As. under the newly-cnacted
law on the subject, the mode Of procedure
will have to be considerably changed.
Mr. Meredith advised tho co<nitteo that
the Council has the power to charge TO
propcrty-Owners. who receive dement's
from sewers. either the whole amount
involved I'm their construction. or a por-
ton thereof. He recommended 10 the
committee that each case be taken upon
its merits and dealt with, as 1t would
be well-nigh impossible 10 have a uniform
rule applicable to all cases.
lie advised the committee that before
allegations were heard sketch OF the
proposed work should be examined, and
a decis on reached MS % whether the
whole or a portion Of the cost should be
borne by the property owners. In order
that the said owners might vote intelh-
gently on the matter. After the con-
struction Of a sewer, the benentted pro-
perry owners, ne said. should be assessed
according 10 their frontage and they
would then have the right Of appeal TO
the court.
DISCPETIONARY POWERS
Mr.. Mered tn further said that the
Council could either accept a certain
per front foot. as at present and release
the property Of the lien upon 1t, or re-
ceive annual payment of ten cents per
front foot
Mr.. Pollock favored system OF the
citv's constructing al sewers at its own
cost. and charging an annual rental. The
CITY Engineer aleo thought well Of the
plan. hut as there were difficulties in the
wav. Nr Meredith's recommendation was
endorsed. and he was requested. on mo-
ton Of Mr. Pollock. 10 furnish each mem
her Of the street Committee with
mode Of procedure" rnder the new law
He was also requested 20 inform the
committee as to the proper steps 20 be
taken In regard to six sewers just COM
pleted.
The Committee on Ordinances. which
was called to meet at 6 o'clock yester-
day evening failed to get a quorum. An
other attempt will be made Monday even

Costly Word.

Suit was yesterday instituted by Henry
II. Greene. through his attorneys, Baker
a Rutherford. to recover damages in the
sum OF $1,000 from the Western Union
Telegraph Company. IL is charged by
the plaintiff that the company made a
gross error in tho wording OF a certain
telegram delivered to him in Richmond
on April l. 1891. A meSsage which should
have read zone hundred and ten shares
of a certain kind OF stock. was made by
the telegram mentioned 10 read "one
hundred and one.
This error, II is charged, was due TO
carelessness upon the part OF the COM
pany's employees. and caused the plaintiff
70 enter into a contract for the purchase
OF certain real estate at loss. which
woulo not have occurred had the mes
sage been correct. For this reason Mr.
Greene askes damages in the sum named.

Medical Officers in Charge Of Mon
tauk Point
EmphaticaIIy Deny That There Have Been
, Deaths Due to Yellow Fever.
1t is Admitted, However, by Assist
ant Surgeon General Senn That
IF the Soldiers Long Remain in
the Camp an Epidemic of Ty-
phoid Fever is Sure to Follow.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Medical Of
6cers at Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point,
deny that there have been deaths at
the camp hospital from yellow fever.
The two men whose deaths here yes
terday was said to be attributable to
the disease named, were, according to
the surgeons in charge, victims Of per-
nicious malarial fever, which. those un-
familiar with yellow fever frequently
diagnose as the latter.
DR.. Nicholas Sem, Assistant Surgeon
General United States Army, is quoted
as saying to-day at Camp Wikoff: In
Justice to the camp I want to say that
almost none of the sickness among the
soldiers up to the present time. and
none of the deaths have been due TO
the conditions which now prevail here,
or have in the past. Sickness has been
almost entirely the feveTs contracted
in the South, and the death rate would
have been much more than now had the
men remained in the South instead of
being brought here. The change of CHI
mate lesSened the effect of the fevers
and improved the condition Of the men.
As consequence, the only sickness
which can be attributed to this camp
is dysentery or lesser troubles which
may have been caused by the change Ct
diet or water.
80 far none of the fevers have been
indigenous to the camp, but if the men
remain they will certainly be attacked
with typhoid fever. This will be due
to the germs which they will get in
the water.
ITO make this place healthy we
should have a system of drainage
which would carry away all these
germs, but to build such would cost
