The Woman With the Broom.

Ne have given on several oc
ca'ion articles of the man with the
ht'' and several other articles Of
lii nature and to cap the CLIMAX
W. publish the woman with the
broom, that our readers may be
! ab-est with the troubles of the
woman as well as man:
Is one of life's ironies that makes
us speak of women who are en-
gu red in business or the profes
sif as working woman" there
BY implying, at least, that the
gr at multitude of housekeeping
W. men are leading lives of sybar-
itic luxury and inglorious ease.
Nothing could be farther from the
mark, and what makes the error
all the more plquant IS the fact
thlt domestic women themselves
CO ncide with the point OF view.
II is a singular commentary on
tb, esteem in which they have
be ed taught to hold their occupa-
ten that so many women who toll
Ill . slaves in their own homes so
often express the wish that they
could do something" No one
seems to think that the work of
keeping house amounts to any
thing. A woman is supposed to
be able to dash that off in O white
heat of inspiration, without
thought or labor, as amateur poets
always claim to do their effusions.
We are far enough from apprecia-
ting the fact that it is the most ex-
acting and never-ceasing work in
the world. No body expects the
doctor or lawyer to know much of
any profession beyond his own
we esteem the woman who is at
the head of the family as incom-
petent, unless she IS a pretty good
doctor and nurse and seamtress
and sufficiently up IN the business
drive a good bargain, 1t is only
when something happens to the
lousekeeper, that we realize that
he is the king pin that holds our
together.

The Manufactures Record il
speaking Of the State Of Mississip
pi and this session Of the Legisla
ture and our new Governor hal
the following timely and sugges'
tive article, which we publish and
give our nearly endorsement;-
The first bill introduced in the
senate Of the present session OF
the Mississippi legislature provid-
cd for an appropriation Of IA, 900
for the establishment of q textile
school at the State Agricultural
and Mechanical College. 1t was
quickly passed by the senate,
and has now passed the lower
house. 1t was rather significant
that upon the day of the final pas
sage of the bill Mr.. d. A. Tomp-
klns Of Charlotte, N. c., was at
jackson, and by UNANIMOUS request
OF the Legislature discussed the
relation of the textile education to
the development of cotton manu-
featuring.
The speech was described as the
clincher Of the movement for The
textile school. He contended that
the boy who expects to manufac-
ture cotton should learn the prin-
ciples involved in each machine
in the mill and acquire the necces-
sary skill to operate it, and be as
serted two boys, one having a fine
technical education with a little
practice and the other having only
a common school education and
having serve1 a full apprentice
ship, the chances for success were
four to one IN favor OF the latter.
When the technical education and
apprenticeship were combined in
one young man, he said he was
master of his occupation. The
higher technical would open up
the way for profitable occupation
for every farmers son or daugh-
Ter in the State, and for all other
people who needed an opportunity
10 get start in lite.
Mr.. Tompkins is one of the
best known examples in the South =

industry. He has been a u

growth OF the textile industry In %

establishment of textile schools -

Will draw more votes from Mckinley

Some time ago had severe attack
of rheumatism in my arm and shoul-

got no relief until l was recommended

druggists, of this place, to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. They recon-
mended it so highly that bought

As to Dewey Polit-
icaIIy.

Philadelphia. April 30-IntereSt has
been aroused in the approaching Pop
UIlSJ national convention which Will be
held in Cineinnati May 9, owing to the
possibility Of that party turning its
back upon w. j. Bryan. According 10
Wharton Barker, of this city. who has
received the Endorsement of some Of
the POpulist state conventions for pres
ident. there will be between 500 and =
900 delegates at the Cincinnati con-
ventiOn. the majority coming from the
south, west and central west. Asked
as TO the effect of his nomination fer
the presidency by the POpulists on
Bryan's candidacy Barker said: There
can no longer be Il doubt in the mind
OF any one who considers the situation
that at least 100000 of the 2.OOO.OOO
POpuliSt votes east for Mr.. Bryan in
1896 will this year be lost TO him and
cast for the presidential candidate Of
the Peoples party. The Democrats
Will probably give the nomination To
some one else and thus invite the gold
Democrats back into the fold.
BARKER Says He Has Hopes.
Barker secuted the idea of IA strong
opposition to President Mckinley at
the Republican convention in this city.
lie asserted that the presidents friends
control the machinery of the party and
that he would be renominated. Barker
says lie thinks the Populists have. Il

fight. With Mckinley, Bryan and
Barker as the candidates he believes
the former will win, but with Bryan
