Of age up, from the country, could
begin, and in little while earn $40
to SIS per month
The editor of the Textile Excel
sior journal here informs me that
he has friends, a superintendent and
two overseers who have saved some
money and desire to jointly invest
about $40. 900 in mill, and then to
take charge of it. Superintendent's
salary ranges from 81 500 to $1,000,
and the success of the mill is largely
his work. The overseers get 81 to
81 per day and these have charge
of the whole work. The secretary
and superintendent has charge of
the office, the finances, the books,
and sells the product and gets
good salary He has nothing to do
with the mill, and is frequently
man totally without experience,
except fine financial training. It
would be no mistake, however, if a
secretary was elected to have him
come here and visit around for a
month or two, while his mill is
being built and see as much as pos
sible of the actual work. 1t would
be no mistake to have some boy in
Louisiana to come here and begin
work at the bottom of the ladder
and learn everything by working his
way through the mills in this State.
II start in to devote a few days to
the mills of South Carolina, and
then Atlanta and Montgomery mills
will be visited.

DEATH OF GRANT ALLEN
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND
VERSATILE WRITER'S OF THE DAY.
Noted for the Interesting Way I'm
Which He Treated Scientific SUBJ
jects-AIso n Good Novelist.

LONDON. Oct 25.-Grant Allen, the au-
thor. who has been in i'll health for some
time past, is dead.
Charles Grant Blairtindie Allen was born
in Kingston, Ont, Feb. "a. 1913. After grad
uation at Merton College, Oxford, he occu-
pied for four years the chair of logic and
philosophy at Queens College, Spanish
Town, Jamaica, which he resigned to settle
in England. where he resided at the time of
his death. Early in his career he became
an enthusiastic follower of Darwin and Her
bert Spencer and published the attractive
books Science in Already" 'Vignettes from
Nature" 1.-The Evolutionist at Large and
Colin Clout's Calendar In his preface to
''Vignettes from Nature" he says that the
essays are written from an easy-going,
half-scientifc, half-aesthetic standpoint"
Grant Allen, as he was most popularity
known Though at times he wrote under the
pseudonyms "Arbuthnot wilson and Cecil
FowerO was an Industrious writer, turning
his hand with equal facility to scientific
writing, to essays. short stories, botanical
treatises. biography and novels. His work
may be divided into two classes: fiction and
popular essays The first showed him to be
familiar with varied scenes and types, and
showed that he had much feeling for dra-
matte situations. His list Of novels is long
and includes. among many others, THE
Tents of Shem," Strange Stories,'' Baby
Ion, 1.-The Mortal Coil, THE Woman Who
Did, Recalled to Life" The Great
Taboo" and 1.-The British Barbarian
In many of these books he wove his plot
about psychological theme; sure proof
that science interested him more than in
venticn. His essays were written for I'M
scientific readers, and carefully avoided all
technicalities and tedious discussions. He
said once: Most persons would much
rather learn why birds have feathers than
why they have a keeled sternum, and they
think the origin of bright flowers far more
attractive than the origin of monocotyledon-
Gus seeds or esogenous stems" His more
scientific works include: Psychological
Aesthetics" The Color Sense" 1.-The Color
and still deeper than any of these is his
Force and Energy QSSS), a theory of dy-
namics. in which he expressed original views
Besides these works, Mr.. Allen wrote for
the series called English Worthless" q
sympathetic Life of Charles Darwin
QSs5.)
Mr. Allen. in spite of chronic i'll health
was one of the hardest of literary workers.
One OF his last productions was THE
European Tour: a Handbook for Americans
and Colonists" The main object of the book
was to suggest a definite plan for seeing and
digesting as much of Europe as a healthy
appetite is capable of taking in at a single
sitting. 1t is not generally known that Mr.
Grant Allen had been accommodating mater
laIS for this and similar works during the
last twenty years His note books alone
would make decent-sized library.

LONDON, Oct. 25-The Standards spe-

released at the battle of Elandslaagte,
in describing his experiences, says:
"Unsoldierly as the Beers might
seem, there was no mistaking their
physical fitness. Nearly all Of them
are strong, powerfully built men, while a
few are veritable giants. They were all in
highest spirits. For instance, on the night
of our capture, our field cornet was induced
to preside over an impromptu smoking con-
cert. 1t was amusing to see Johannes
burger playing the piano with his gun still
slung over his shoulder. while his. more rus
tic comrades stood around spellbound. They
sang 'Transvaal volkslied with immense
fervor. The one subject of their talk was
the resoiute determination TO fight to the
last for the independence Of their country"
A dispatch from Cape Town to-day says
that General White has engaged the Orange
Free State Beers, who were advancing on
Ladysmith, about seven miles northward.
and that it was believed the advance had
been repealed. This is probably another ver-
sion of yesterdays fighting. already
known.
