are as good men as live anywhere II d

are therefore determined not to permit
its repetition. They know that while
crying Stop Thief, they viii steal now

so.<

A SOUTHERN NATIONAL PARK.

An Interstate convention of all per
sons interested in forest preservation, in
perfecting Southern National Park AS
ISOLATION, and in securing the aid of
Congress to establish n National Park
in Western North Carolina, has been
called to meet at Asheville, Wednesday,
November 22nd The call is authorized
by the mayer and board of aldermen of
Ashcvile.
We are glad to see the suggestion CT
Southern National Park taking shape
that before the forests have been de-
manded by lumbermen a National Park
should be established in the wonder
fully healthfu and beautiful mountain
section of North Carolina, The sugges-
tons, unless made effective by united
action, will continue to be made but M
action will he taken until the primitive
forests are gone and much of the natu-
raj beauty destroyed. 1t is to be hoped
tHdJ the HItttlhS at AcItSNiiiS VIZ ~
largely attended and that the matter
will not only be presented to Congress,
but will be pressed and urged, and urged
and pressed, until the Park shall be
reality. Speaking of it, upon the occa-
sion of visit to Asheville, Judge Day,
ex-Secretary of State, recently said:
~
ter by several of your leading gent.e-
men, and told them that if my hearty
endorsement of the scheme would fun
ther it in any way that they were thor
oilghly welcome to use it, as i thou@at
the idea a good one and the tniag ough;
to be done.
''There is certainly no more beautiful
nor healthful region in any part If the
country than this mountain seci;nn, AM
great deal of its beauty will he ie-
stroyed within the next few years by
the destruction of its timber unless
something of this sort is done to stop
the removal of the forest trees"
The movement belongs to no section
or State. 1t is of National scope. II
affects the entire country. Yellowstone

WHAT COTTON MANUFACTURE
ING MEANS.

ID. \. TomDkins at Newbern.
/ am told that the cotton nan.ll,d in
Newborn would average annually soma
thing like 10000 bales The average
price of this cotton in the past few !cars
might fairly, | think, be fixed at tie a
pound. On this basis your :ott)n would
bring to you annually 100000.
Now let us suppose this same cot;t.n
manufactured into plain cloth worm 10
Il yard. On basis of yards - the
pound this cloth would yield abo 1t ST.
100000
The State of North Carolina now cop
sumes in her factories about 35O.600
bales of cotton. The number of opera
tives employed is about $4,000. Each
operative therefore turns 10 bales o. cot
ton into yarn or cloth.
Therefore it would require about 1000
operatives to make your cotton receipts
here into manufactured prodact worth
on an average three times what the cot
ton is now worth.
| don't doubt that within radius tf
80 miles from here thousand operatives
could be assembled without materially
drawing from the labor already p,,ira-
bly, engaged If this is so it would nor
frcm any distance and the profit Gr in
crease in value would belong - ami
go to people who are now here cr who
are your neighbors.
The distribution of this seven hundred
thousand dollars profit would he about
as follows
Wages to operatives ........ .S21o,090
Other expenses .............. 300 $50
prpfitc IN mill aunat.c Ii a
Miscellaneous ............,. 100000
These might be further divided. The
wage money goes as follows:
To farmers for butter, eggs,
vegetables, milk, etc. .....S 10000
To merchants for clothes, gro
ceres, ETC. .............. 1U0,QG0
To doctors, lawyers, railroads,
etc. -. . ...... $4,000
Savings ,1.0@0
The item ''other expenses" is made Up
of salaries, supplies. fuel wood or coaD,
drayage, railroad freight, etc. The item
profits to mill owners" is expended n
better living, better. clothes, better
houses, or saved. The item misce! Ia
neous is in making better roads, law, in
surance, interest, ETC. Each and every
item is profit to home people in sCne
shape or form.
The Interpretation of all this is that
by gaining the necessary knowledge to
spin and weave and by using some Of the
idle labor now in most Southern comniu-
mites, the cotton crop can he easily
trebled in value, or 100000 dollars worth
of cotton can be made worth 1,00JuJGl
dollars.
This means selling cloth to China at
Is cents a pound instead Of cotton 10
England at 6 cents a pound.

THE FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL,
1t Was Organized at Savannah in 1886 by
John Wesley.

1t Was Organized at Savannah in 1886 by
John Wesley.
Robert Raikes is generally credited
with organizing the first Sunday school
in 1880 in London, but the Savannah
News says John Wesley's Sunday school
was started at Savannah forty yea S
earlier. The News gives this interest
ing account of the first Sunday school:
in his travels through the streets
and lanes of Savannah and through the
Iudian trading villages of Yamacraw.
Mr.. Wesley found that the children were
growing ny almost heathens. He there
fore, with Mr., Delamotta, organized a
school in which to instruct them in the
teachings Of the Bible and catechism
These religious instructions were i'm.
parted to the children every Saturday
afternoon and on the Lords day before
the evening service. Thus, in the year
1885, was organized at Savannah, Ca,
the first Sunday school in the world.
There were some thirty or forty children
in the school and they were taught not
only the precepts of the Chris
tian religion, but also ito read, write
and cast accounts.
