Cotton-MiIiing in North Carolina.
Washington Post)

Mr. Lawrence s Holt, Of Burlington,
y. c.. one Of the most prosperous cotton
manufacturers Of his State, is at the Eb-
bit. accompanied by his wife Mr.. Holt
is a native of North Carolina, and belongs
TO distinguished family, his brother. the
late Thomas NJ. Holt. having been Chief
Executive of North Carolina.
in speaking with Post reporter, Mr..
Holt said II grew up almost in q cotton
mill, for my father built the second one
that was operated in our country. That
was in 1891. \ few years later he pro-
duced the first colored cotton fabrics ever
woven south of the Potomac river. This
parent mill was a small affair, as we look
at factories nowadays 1t was run by
water power. and had only four spinning
frames. Yet it did pretty well for 1897.
one of the mills which l now conduct in
association with my sons has Il 900 spin
dies. GSS looms and gives employment TO
about 375 operatives. This l mention
merely to show the increase that has oc-
CURED i'm sixty years. which is typical Ct
the progress that the entire South has
made in manufacturing during that Re-
riod.
"rhe manufacturers Of our section are
prospecting. Since my arrival i'm WASH
ington / have noticed North Carolina
ginghams in the shop windows, and in
some beautiful goods that came from cur
State While most of the output of our
mills is Of the cheap class Of fabrics, yet,
i'm course of time. we will be making tee
finer grades. that Will compete with the
northern product.
Il do not think the time Will ever come
when colored labor will be employed in
the cotton factories of the South. The
negro lacks the reliable character and
steady habits that while mill-Operatves
possess. and without which in our bust
ness any labor is worthless. The negro
wants to 90 to a funeral, or q baptzng,
or some of his relatives get sick too many
DAYS in a month 10 render him of much
account. There is a good deal Of talk OF
"A mill at Concord TO be owned and maE~
aged exclusively by the blacks, and, While
l hope il may prove success, / am Lot
very sanguine of the enterprise.
''Whte girls, who form the majority Of
the employees in our mills. do excellent
work. for which they get great deal bet
fer wages than shopsgirls IN big eas.crh
cities. but il Is true that they work long
or hours. j have always been in favor OF
shortening the hours Of labor, which stu
remain rather long in the South ana
think that the owners will see eventuaHy
that il is to their interest to ieduce
thCm."

tfimontal to health are TO be discarded
by the girl pupils in the Newark High
School. Abandoning stays and Tight
ntting waists. the girls will wear pretty
loose shirt-waists.
"Drcss reform" is now apparently the
81 Ito of the High School. The girls are

been FASTENED by the preparations for the

The methods OF dressing most popular
among the schools girls have long given
the teachers cause for worry hecently
q Young woman pupil was asked 10 return
home and arrange her clothing so that her
waist measure would be added TO by seVe-

Tor her health and comfort at study.
With most of the girls. the trim, neat,

be an irresistible temptation and 10 pull

thing in the world for them 10 do. Argu-

her sanity, and upheld the action or tho
Governor in refusing 20 commute her sem
tence.

had so confidently rested OF her irrespon-
slbility for her act In killing her step

the most important result which the Of
ficials expect Of the conference will be
the adoption OF some plan for the refer
ence Of disputes TO general arbitration.
and the United States will have a plan
OF this character. as well as other ma
tions.
The administration Is strongly In favor
OF arbitration as the means for the set
tlement OF disputes between nations, ard,
while II appreciates that there are a
number OF controversies that can only
be settled by war. It Is still believed that
many questions which arise and are
causes OF much friction can be arbitrated.
The President is committed to interna-
tional arbitration by his inaugural adj
dress and by subsequent declarations, but
his administration has not attempted to
negotiate arbitration treaties-for one
reason. because OF the imminence of war
with Spain and the occurrence Of the war.
In view Of the assembling of the confer
ence at The Hague. It is thought by the
officials that the time has come when the
administration can put itself on record
before the world as favoring arbitration.
