BIkEVITIES

The greatest scandal Of the century
in Europe in the way of a trial is the
Dreyfus outrage. He is to have a new
trial. France is ~disgraced. 1t takes
this. country to equal the French in
outrages upon justice.
Booker Washington's school in Ala
bama is to be helped by a $3.50, 900 con-
tribution by a New York lady. Mrs.
o, P. Huntington another lady of that
city, has given $40, 900 to build a dor
mitOry for girls. That is handsomely
done. Washington deserves public con-
idence. =; AL
The Philadelphia Ledger thinks it is
the south's sin because the negroes
are not we'll treated in the south. Good
citizens and laW-abiding people of that
race hat no cause to complain of bad
treatment. Their best friends are the
whites. The Ledger is like the other
newspapers "up there" cocksure but
badly Informed.
Richmond, Va, has 12O, 900 inhabi-
tants including suburbs. 1t is only
second to Louisville, estimated at 215,-
900, and New Orleans among southern
cities. 1t contains LAP manufacture
ing establishments, employing over TO-
900 hands, and in 1898 turned out pro-
ducts to the amount of $34, 865, 725.
Thomas Hoover, living at Evansville,
Ind, predicted his death a year ago,
stating day and hour. 1t was fulfilled.
He died on oath inst, at 3 o'clock as
predicted.
We verify believe that trade journals
repeat new enterprises that are started.
One published seven new cotton mills
for last week in North Carolina. Most
of these had been before announced
and some o than once.

A <.EssD T. It,>.

The Chattanooga Times has a timely
article on small cotton mills for the
south. Not that the large mills shall
not be erected, but that smaller mills
shall be scattered all about. For nearly
two decades we have been hammering
away from time to time on the smaller
industries. We have often pointed to
Connecticut as a capital illustration
showing what can be done to make a
state prosperous by the multiplication
of the smaller industries. The Trades
man favors a cotton mill for every
town that handles 1000 bales of cotton.
We have not seen the last issue of that
valuable ~bi-monthly, but find some fig
ures taken from it in the Charlotte
Observer which we draw upon. 1t
says:
"a mill for a 1000 bale town would
contain 2,2SS spind&s and 76 looms.
The machinery would cost s27, $50; the
buildings, including the shafting, heat
ing, lighting ard plumbing, So, 900; and
the power plant, 110-horse power, ST.
500; %incidentals, 81, 100-b1inging the
total cost up to $39, 4SO. The building
should be two stories in height and
4SX100 feet in dimensions. The pro-
duction of such a plant would be %, 1880
yards a week, thus quadrupling the
value to the community Of one thous-
and bales. The help required would
consist of 143 hands, at S266 a week;
the superintendent would receive S24 a
week; the overseers 1925 a day; and
the other hands would receive from 60
cents to 81 a day. Some would be paid
by piece work.
I'm estimating the product of a mill
it is safe to expect 425 pounds of cloth
from every bale weighing 500 pounds"
OF cours the factories to cost $4,000
or $4,000 of $4,000 may wisely be
constructed in many owns and in fav-
ored country districts. The south is
the real place for cotton, wooden, silk
and other factories. North Carolina
keeps we'll to the front in new enter
prises and it may be that in 1899, there
will be more cotton and other mills
erected therein in any previous year.
Wilmington is beginning the con-
struction OF a fine cotton mill to cost
a quarter of a million dollars We hope
that others will follow in due time.
With two mills soon, we must hope for
a half dozen before Ave years end.
Charlotte has twelve cotton mills we
think.

Two Noisy Nations,

1t seems strange that two nations 80
antipodal in the matter of ideals as the
United States and China should share
the distinction of being great noise low
ing people. Yet it is a fact that the two
countries consume nearly all the flrecrack-
ers each year manufactured by the wives
and children of the Chinese cracker mer
chants. England annually buys a small
quantity of the explosives. Other countries
take only infinitesimal amounts. Here In
America the firecracker is the small boys
legitimate medium for expressing his pa
triotic approval of a great national event.
His enthusiasm expends itself in q day.
Not SO in the orient. There the use of
flrecrackers is not limited by g or posi-
ton. Their use is universal and has been
as far back as history records. 1t is likely
that in the beginning they were employed
to brighten away evil spirits. But as the
country partially emerged from it's dense
ignorance and shook off a part Of its load
Of superstitions the cracker became an ex-
preston Of good will and ceremonious COM
pliment. Now the exploding Of f1recrack-
ers Is as much Of IN incident at wedding
festivities in China as the throwing of rice
or old shoes is here. Not only is the mar
riage feast enlivened by the cracker, but
births and funerals and festivals, and re-
ligious, civil and military ceremonies bring
the cracker into play. Also they are used at
New Years to salute persons about to make
a journey, and, in fact, on all occasions
out Of the ordinary routine .-New York
Mail and Express.

wrinkles at the hips is to wear the corset
next the gown, outside all the other un
derclothing.
No stiffening of any kind is used in
skirts, but very thin, soft silk which has
not sufficient body to fall in the rich folds
demanded by fashion is interlined
throughout with extremely thin flannel,
which gives it consistency and prevents
the silk from breaking at the folds. This
flannel is much used as an intcrlining for
enriching the appearance Of satin wedding
gowns. 1t is placed in the sleeves, as we'll
as tho skirt, to give them greater round
ness, and must, of course, be of the same
color as the material of the gown.
The picture given today shows an at
t~ractive redingote for "a young girl. 1t is
of beige cloth bordered with a narrow
band Of mink and is crossed in front, fas-
tening at the left side. A circular bertha
covers the shoulders and forms a revers,
and a valois collar finishes the neck. Tho
plain sleeves have turned back cuffs and
the garment is closed by little animal heads
of fur. The beige felt hat is trimmed with
golden brown velvet and an argus plume.

BALLADE OF THE TOOTH OF TIME.

Dim in the annals Of bygone ages
Trace their names where they first were laid
Poets, potentates, fools or sages
Safely cloaked in forgotten shade;
Bold and brave was the show they made,
Lusty and guy in life's young dawn,
Now to ashes and dust betrayed,
While time, like 4 rat in the dark, gnaws OIL.
Words they scrawled on the worlds blank
pages,
Fought and Toasted and worked and played
Earned their dole and have spent their wages,
flushed their voices that wept or prayed;
Into the bosom of silence strayed
Wornout children to lumber gone,
Quieted now and unafraid,
While time, like a rat in the dark, gnaws on.
Never a passion their rest engages
Fame or fortune or humble trade;
Shall they listen however RACES
The present hour with its turmoil swayedP
Past and future together weighed
Seemeth to them as a circle drawn;
Little they heed and are undismayed,
While time, like u rat in the dark. gnaws on.
ENVOY.
Prince Death cometh with sweeping blade,
Ready alike for brain and Drawn,
And all shall meet him and none .evade,
While time, like a rat in the dark, gnaws on.
