A FORWARD STEP.

The Holt-M Morgan and the Tolar-
Hart-Holt Cotton Mills, which are
situated a mile and a half south of
this city, have about them two goOdly
sized villages of operatives. These
companies have entered into an
agreement for the erection and main
tenance of a school for the children
Of their villages, which promises
much for their welfare. They are
now erecting a large two-story, we'll
planned school building, which will
cost quite $4,000, and they will run
there a nine months school They
will supplement the public funds
with an amount sufficient to make
this long term possible.
They have also adopted a rule that
no child under twelve years of age
Will be allowed to work in their mills
and not then unless strong and able
bodied.
These manufacturers r to be
commended for this action. Both
the educational provision and the
age limit regulation r steps to-
ward the betterment of the mill pop
uatlon. North Carolina is fast be-
coming d manufacturing State and
IN many communities the manufac-
turing people compose the great ma
jority.
VIII not other mills follow the
worthy example of these two Fay
eIVeVllle mills? Such wholesome
interest in the welfare of the work
sus people by the mill owners will go
aor toward continued harmony and
soOd will between capital and labor.

The Canadian postofice, modelled
on the European system, goes far
ahead of that of Uncle Sam. While
2 pounds is the limit as to weight of
mail packages in the States, the
lib. parcels post keeps down the
ravenous appetite of the express com
pany combination on excessive rates.
Again, the postal savings bank fea-
ture at $50 p~ostofices is a great &C
commodation. Every money order
opostofice is obliged to received de-
posits in amount up to $4,000, butnot
to exceed $1,000 in any one year, on
which per cent. interest is paid.
Over 1852, 900, 900 has been received
in these popular banks in 80 years,
on which nearly $15, 600, 900 interest
has been paid. At present there is
about $35, OOO, 900 deposited, with an
average credit to each deposition of
$245. The one place in which the
Canadian postofice department. is
slow is in the establishment of free

oUIETER IN CHINA.

The Chinese trouble seems to be
blowing over. Gen. Chafee says
the fighting is ended. The impor-
tant development in the situation
last week was the decision of the
government not to send any more
troops to China. All the troops at
sea, amounting to about 1000, to-
gether with those under orders for
service in the far East which have
not sailed, amounting to about 5000
more, will be sent to Manila. These
troops will sail on the same route,
and upon touching at Nagasaki. will
go on to Manila, unless there are de-
velopments in China, not expected,
which would make their presence in
that country necessary.

During the storming of San Juan

remarking on the extreme heat, as he
journeyed through Kansas. 81 was re-

There was a young fellow from Ari-
IONA, Bushy by name, who was shot
straight across the top of the head. I

his face that he was in no condition to
stay in the front. Riding up by his
side I tapped him on the arm and said,
You go to the rear
well, I'll never forget the face that
fellow turned toward me. 1t was one
mass of blood and this added horrible
fierceness to the look he gave me.
You to go hell, he said, as he
struck out on a run up the hill.
81 couldn't forget such fellow, and
got him a commission in the regular
army. He's now in the Philippines. -

CHINA's GOOD QUALITIES.
Western Nations Could Learn Mucf
From Her.

Sir George Goldie, who carved out
England's empire in West Africa, re-
turns from extensive travels in China
with interesting views. He believes
strongly in missions for such places as
Africa, but he has his doubts as to their
usefulness in so highly civilized a coun-
try as he saw in his recent travels. Eu-
rope has much to teach the Chinese, he
says in the art of war, in pure science
and inventions, but, apart from these
subjects, which the Chinese people do
not consider as necessaries of life Eu-
rope cannot teach them much; while it
has something to learn from them.
Their code of ethics is as high as ours,
