LOOSE BUILDING INSPECTION.
Hotel Licenses Issued on Old Fire
Escape Certificates.

Escape Certificates.
Matthew Trimble, Assessor for the Dis
trict, is apparently dissatisfied with the
manner in which hotel licenses are re-
newed by the Inspector of Buildings upon
old certificates relative to fire escapes.
The law forbids the Assessor to issue n
license to lessee or proprietor of a hotel
unless the application is accompanied by a
certificate from the Inspector of Buildings
showing that the building is provided with
fire escapes as required by statute.
The Assessor states that In all cases
since the law was placed on the statute
books the certificates furnished by the In
spector of Buildings had been issued at
some date previous 10 the application for
license. Such certificates are claimed TO
be sufficient authority for the issuance of
hotel licenses for subsequent years unless
specially objected to by the Inspector of
Buildings. The Assessor is Inclined to be-
lieve that new certificates from the In
spector of Buildings should be required
each year. In bringing the matter to the
attention Of the Commissioners and asking
them for a decision, the Assessor states. in

A SUNDAY LIQUOR CRUSADE.
The Anti-SaIOOn League Feeling
Very JubiIant

The AntiSaloon League which is de-
lighted at the recent passage of the bill
prohibiting the sale of liquor Sunday in
the District of Columbia, has written 10
the District Commissioners asking them
what steps are being taken for the enforce
ment of the law. The law was originally
intended 10 prevent only the sale of beer
in barrels by local brewers on Sunday,
and thus break up the frequent riots and
disorderly assemblies on public reserya-
tions. The suggestion for such a bill was
made by NJ. !. Weller, attorney. on be-
half of Father Mathews, of st. Cyprians
Catholic Church, the members of which
congregation had been annoyed on Sunday
mornings while en- route to divine service
by the sight of minors and half grown
negroes trudging along the streets with
kegs OF beer on their shoulders. When the
bill was brought up for action in the
House Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio suggested
that the words other persons or corpora
tions" be inserted in the bill.
II has been asserted that Mr. Grosvenor
did not realize the sweeping character Of
the words thus inserted, but the House
agreed to the amendment and the law, as
1t stands, forbids the sale OF beer or liquor
within the District in any manner what
ever Hotels and clubs are not even ex-
cepted, and the brief measure which be-
came a law almost by accident may have
very sweeping effect on the sale of
liquor in the District and particularly as
regards restaurants and clubs.
The members of the Anti-Saloon League
are exultant over the passage OF the new
law and the same may be said of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union,
which recently made the subject the basis
of a jubilee mass meeting at the Congrega-
tional Church. In all probability the anti
will oh In
have the law retained on the statute books
and to have the authorities enforce it in
what they consider the strict letter of the
law The letter of the .AntiGaloon League
| to the District Commissioners is regarded
as the opening gun in the battle which will
| be soon waged in the District.
The reply of the Commissioners to the
League is somewhat ambiguous, inasmuch
as il asserts that the Commissioners will
enforce the law" but does not state in de-
| tail the manner in which they intend do
| ing it, Henry E. Davis, United States Dis
trict Attorney, is on record as stating
the new law will not operate to repeal the
| old one. He thinks the clubs and hotels
\ of the city come under the provisions oil
the old law, and that they are en- tiled.
| under its provisions, to serve liquor on
Sunday.
| The opinion thus expressed by the Dis
| trict Attorney was only semi official. and
will not be recognized by the District Com
missioners, who may ask their own Attor-
ney to submit an opinion on the subject
The views of District Attorney Davis are
important, however, in view of the fact
that prosecutions would fall under the
| Jurisdiction of the Office of the United
! States District Attorney. Mr.. Davis as
serts that as there was no repeating clause
in the new law it does not interfere with
| the old one.

WHITE TEACHERS OF NEGRO
SCHOOLS.
A Northern White Man In Duplln
County Finds Himself Ostracised
and Stunned by the People.

The people of Rose Hill, Duplin
county, do not approve of white men
or women teaching negro public
schools, and they do not hesitate to
show this disapproval in the most
emphatic manner, viz: by the social
ostracism of the teacher.
Recently Northern white man
named Daland came to that commun-
ity, sought employment as teacher
of a negro public school and obtained
it. The improperly of his conduct
was called to his attention. He was
told that in teaching negro school
he was violating an unwritten law. of
the South, the penalty of which is
social ostracism, and was advised to
give up the job. He avowed the
custom foolish one and the senti-
ment unjust, and declared his inten-
ton of continuing his negro schools.
Now he complains that he is socially
ostracised and personally Stunned as
4 leper. Referring to Daland's COM
plant because he is not allowed to
disregard rule of society which is
not permitted even our own people to
violate, the Sampson Democrat very
aptlv observes:
The Southern people have no
hostile feeling toward new corners
from the North. They welcome them
and lend them helping hands when
they conduct themselves with pro-
priety. But the white man from any,
where, North or South, who having
had opportunity to know better, be-
lieves and shows by his conduct that
he believes the negro to be the social
equal of the white man, is not long in
mourning the judgment of being him
self no better than the negro. This
opinion is not only held by white peo-
pie but by the negroes themselves,
who have no respect, but rather con-
tempt, for the white man who OBJ
serves social equality with him.
Mr.. Daland is making hard bed
for himself. If he persists in defying
public sentiment, there is but one
safe way to do so,- and that is to
patiently bear the criticism he re-
ceives and murmur not. "-News and

The Rapid Development of Textile
Manufacturing Interests-A Rail-
roads LaudabIe Work.

The fertile Excelsior, leading authority
III textile interests, has the following to
say OF the Southern cotton mill develop
ment and of the work OF the Southern
Halfway in connection with it:
The rapid development of textile
manufacturing interests in the Southern
States has created great deal of inter
est among writer's for the daily and trade
papers. That development has been so
marked as to attract not only the at
tentIon of men actively connected with
the industry, but of economic and indus
trial students throughout the entire
country. There must, of course be GER
tain advantages for manufacturing, adj
vantageS OF Il most pronounced char
acter, before such a development could
be possible. The South has these advan-
tageS.
The greater growth OF the textile in
dustry i'll the South has naturally been
in tn" development of cotton manufac-
turing. And this development has been
along the line of certain large railway
systems, notably the Southern Railway.
in 1890, according 10 the returns
made to the Census Bureau, there were in
the states OF Alabama, Georgia. Ken
lucky. Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina. Tennessee and Virginia 36 ,266
looms and ,o33,2oO spindes. In these
same States. on January | st, this wear.
there We're o,JJ2 looms and 3,796, 900
splndleS. This shows an increase OF / Ga
per cent. in the former and 147 per cent.
IN the latter. There are in these States
now 40 cotton mills, of which 241 are
located on the Southern Railway.
Judging from present Indications the
development OF the textile industry in
the South has just begun. Several new
mills have been located along the line of
the Southern Railway to be constructed
within the next twelve months, and on
some of them work has already begun.
In addition to these new mills great
many CT those in operation are adding
new machinery and in other ways making
preparations to enlarge their output.
word OF praise is due the Southern
Railway for the work it has done in pro-
noting cotton spinning and other textile
manufacturing in the Sa+th- 1t is doing
notable and laudable work in developing
the rich section OF the South that it
traverses. The many new mills that are
gong up show that the people along its
lines appreciate the railroad S efforts and
are endeavorlng to assist it in utilizing
the advantages that nature has placed
within their reach.
he TACT that the Southern has been
able to equip and manage one of the best
railway systems OF the country shows
concfusiveiy that the South is prosper
ing. and under like conditions will con-
tlnue to prosper"

Alfred Austin.)
Sprngtime was floweriog in your air

In the rough burrows Iie's long duties

Scattering will, lavish heart the smiles Of
youth and grace.
Though April sandaled with its flowers
your feet,
And sang its amOrous de.cant in your
ears,
You with foresight wiser than your
years,
Bethought you of the time, more serious,
sweet,
When mellow fruit is stored and stacked
is ripened wheat
With heart as tender as the bud half
blown,
Yet in the very season of young love,
kneeling, you sought its impulse from
above.
Choosing for consort o: your earthly
A soul akin to yours, mind to match
your own.
Then brightly glowed your summer DER

You, with your people around You, could
Rich fruitinC future planted in the past,
Engaging promise of rule, rightly planned,
OF freedom round your shores, and on the
sea command.
Then slowly comes the time when summer
wanes,
And from the sunshine something seems
withdrawn,
As pcnsiye shadows lengthen on the
lawn,
When only bndwccd fingers in the lane,
The one sweet thing that then unwithered
doth remain.
But there Is beauty in autumnal bOugh,
No less than in dear April dewy leaves,
When, with its store of golden girdled
sheaveS
Piled. stands the vain where one time
passed the pillow,
And ripenej labor reaps tultillment of its
VOW.
For though no more the obliviouS cuckoo
From land to land. nor longer on the
spray
OF yellowing elm the throstle vaunts his
lay,
The ringdOve's mate, as fades the leaf
and falls
Reiterates its note of love that never pals
From hamlet roofs blue spires of smoke
once more
As dies the day in mist along the dale
And widowed evening weeps behind her
From log replenished hearthstones heaven
ward soar,
= And lamps are early lit and early latchcd
the door.
Season it is less earthly than divine.
When loves rich guerdOnS with the days
increase
And cares are softened meath the crown
of peace,
When all we have won 'twere easy to re-
