1T is an old saying that you should buy
your cigars in L ndon and your cigarettes
in New York" said b. L. r. Benjamin of
New Orleans. according to the New York
Tribune, and if prices are any criterion
to go by it is certainly a true epigram.
for in London there are cigars for sale at
prices that would stagger the average
American. Here the most expensive cigar
l have ever seen exposed for sale costs 81.
whereas in London l have frequently seen
them of SO fine a grade as to call for the
expenditure of 10 shiilings before you could
smoke one, and cigars costing Il apie e

Westminster, England's richest peer, by
a dealer whereupon the Duke replying
that he was altogether too p-or a man to

entire importation sent to the Prince Of
Wales and the bill to himself.
The English Ike a cigar so dry that it
crackles when punched between the fing-
ers, but this is on account of their climate,

@there as they do on wine. and consider
that they not only improve with age. but
that the tobacco grown in certain years

smoking the tobacco grown in other years,
and when YOU go TO a tobacconst you will
find that the same cigar will differ in prize
according to the different years of its be-

Since the last Instruction of the Cub n

He was but 1872 years old when ne joined

An incident occurred a the Piedmont
Cotton Mills, in Greenville county South
Carolina, recently, which goes a long ways
towards illustrating the cordially which
exists between capital. and labor in the
South, and explaining why it is that
Southern mill operatives are so much bet
ter contented than persons similarly en-
gagged elsewhere; why strikes, lock-outs
and other labor troubles are comparative
ly unknown in this section of the coun-
try. The occasion was supper given by
the overseers, second hands and section
hands of the Piedmont mills. 1t was at
tended by about $50 persons, including not
only the workers in the mills, but the
president and other officials of the cor
poration. There was an entire absence of
social lines. The president of the com
pany met the spinners weavers, and even
the boys who sweep the floors of the fac
tory, upon a common level. The supper
was a good one; it was served by TWEEN
ty-hve young women, and was thoroughly
enjoyed. During the meal the conversa-
ton was without the slightest restraint,
and capital and labor snapped jokes and
compliments, in the best of humor.
After the feasting there We're a num-
Der of speeches, the most notable of them
being that of Hon. James l.. Orr, presi-
dent and treasurer of the company. and
one of the leading men of the state. Col
Orr has probably done as much as any
other man in the South to build up the
manufacturing Industries of the section
and has had the satisfaction of seeing the
hills and valleys of his own county lib
orally dotted with mills. In the course
of his address Col. Orr read list of TWEEN
ty-nine graduates of the Piedmont mills
who are now filling positions as superin-
tendents in various Southern mills, and
of others from the same school of train
ing who are filing various responsible po-
sitions. He impressed it upon the young
men present that there was constant
and growing demand for competent men
to fill positions of responsibility in South
ern mills, and urged each of them TO
strive 10 fit himself for such positions
The secret of success, he said, was en-
braced in three words-energy, character
and Intelligence. His talk was filled with
simply expressed common sense, directed
TO friends rather than to subordinates. and
his friendship and advice werJ fully appre-
ciated by those who heard him owner
and employe left the hall with strength
ened mutual respect, and with an increas-
ed feeling Of community of interests.
And it may be said, broadly. chat the
incident at the Piedmont mills was merely
typical of the feeling between capital and
labor in the South. The relationship has
not been strained by agitators, and each
party is pretty well satisfied with the
other.

Did His SpeciaIfy.

Col. W. ]. Bryan is sensitive upon the
point of being referred to as always itch
ing for a chance to make a speech, but his
sense of humor is so keen that whenever
his alleged weakness is made the subject
of a really clever joke ne can enjoy the
fun as we'll as any one, says the Chicago
News. A story told by himself when he
was in Chicago recently shows that TO be
true.
" During my term in Congress had oc-
cesion to go campaigning into a neighbor-
ing district of Iowa" said Col. Bryan,
and made number of free-trade speech
es, Which angered a protectionist member
who was seeking reelection. Whether the
speeches contributed essentially TO his de-
feat | cannot say. but certain il is that
he believed me largely responsible for his
failure to carry the district. We had met
frequently before the campaign which
ended so disastrously for him, and c{lanc-
ed 10 run across each other occasionally
after the election.
After the presidential campaign, over
a year after-I was invited to speak at a
patriotic celebration in Iowa, and accept
ed the invita- ton. 1 was not particularly
surprised when l recognized my old &C.
quaintance as chairman of the meeting,
but l confess 1 was taken off my feet for

"'W. J. Bryan he bawled out; w
J. Bryan-here is the name on the pro
gramme-is any one of that name here?'
and he shifted his glance across the plat
form and around the hall. OF course all
eyes Were riVeted on me, and after a
moment the chairman affected to notice
that and gazed at me over his spectacles.
oh, you are Mr. Bryan he queried now

shop for Left Hand BARRIERS.

Yes" said E. R. Diven, barber at No.
1904 Broadway, according 10 the Kansas
City Star, Il expect to have neat shop
here, but, of course, everything will have
to be turned around. The shop is left
handed"
The listener said what ninety-nine out
of every hundred persons would have said.
Ii was:
Left handed? What do you mean?"
Diven was sharpening a razor on q
stone. He stopped long enough to say:
why, it, is left-handed from start to
finish. Everything in il has been arranged
for left-handed BARRIERS. I'll show you
what 1 mean" He pointed TO the shop
front windows. They faced the east. Then
he called attention to the two chairs. They
faced the north.
Every rght-handed barber stands on
the right of his customer when working, .
said Diven. IF 1 did so with that chair
I'd stand in my own light. Notice the
shelves for water and bay rum bottles.
They're all on the left of the chairs,
whereas they should be on my right.
Now, have to walk all the way around
the chair to get one of them. The ped
ais by which the chairs are let up or
down are for the left foot This makes
another trip around the customer 1 have
been barbering for many years, but this
is the first time l ever saw a shop that
was left-handed all the way through The
man who owned the shop before me had
a man TO run the other chair He was
left-handed, 100. Why, even the barber
pole outside is left-handed It's on the
left of the door, and, by all the rules of
my business, il should be on the right of
it,"
AS Diven resumed work on the razor he
was sharpening he said:
and 10 think, when l bought the place
I didn't notice it was left-handed.It would
have made a difference in the price. Why
any barber wants to be left-handed 1 cant
see"

BITTER FEELING AGAINST THE
l.. ND y.

The death of Gov. Goebel will not lessen
the hostility of the Democratic party of
Kentucky to the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad. He had been
bitter enemy of that corporation
for years. and it is understood that
it was exceedingly active in causing a
split in the Democratic party when Mr..
Goebel was nominated for Governor last
fall. 1t is the very general belief also
thai the Louisville and Nashville was a
powerful factor in the campaign against
him, and has been lending Mr. Taylor
helping hand ever since the contest for
the governorship began 1t is charged
against the road that it took the armed
mcuntaineers to the capitol a few days
ago, and it is probable that the Demo-
Gratis believe that it is now supplying
the money necessary to provide the food
ana per diem of the military organizations
at the capitol Assuming that all that is
charged against the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad is true, there will be some
very drastic legislation against that road
when order is restored and the Democrat
ic administration gets control of the stu
alton.
The railroad officials deny of course
that the road has anything to do with poll
itics. but there appears to be TOO much
evidence to the contrary for its denial to
be generally accepted. During the cam
paien last fall the charge was made on
every stump in Kentucky that the road
was trying TO dominate the state, and it
is probable that the people very generally
believed the charge. There is not likely
TO be much sympathy FOR the road there
fore If laws should be enacted that would
pinch it severely

In the event of war between France and

There are indications that a great deal
Of outside hapital is about TO be invested
in industrial enterprises in this state. 1t
was stated in our Atlanta dispatches that
a representative of the capitalists that
recently invested 81 10000 in North Caro-
lima was visiting the different cotton mills
in this state with the view of finding out
what the states advantages for industrial
enterprises are. If he finds them salts
factory the capitalists will make large in
yestments in Georgia-as much, it is said.
as $4,000.
Attention is called to the fact that this
representative of Northern capitalists
called at the State House to find out if
there was any record there of the number
and capacity of the cotton mills in this
state, and was somewhat surprised to find
there was not. The Legislature, it seems
had been asked 10 provide funds for col
lecting industrial statistics, but had de-
clined to do so. Tt is stated that in North
Carolina such statistics are collected with
great care.
II this state is to enter upon great in
dustrial movement the Legislature must
lend a helping hand. There are many
things it could do to help forward such
a movement a few dollars judiciously
spent might bring into the state treasury
many thousands of dollars annually in
taxes. There is such a thing as false
economy. We do not believe in spending
the public money in salaries Of officials
for services that are not needed, or for
pensions for those who already have com
Portable incomes or for sessions of the
Legislature that are unnecessary, and
Withholding appropriations for informa-
ton that would draw capital which
would develop the states resources.
our Legislature must pay less attention
to politics and more to the development
of the states resources. When it does that
seekers for information on which to base
investments will not have to go away
from the state capitol disappointed.
There is no good reason why there
should not be as much activity in the
building of factories in this state as there
is in either of the Carolnas. There is idle
money here that can be obtained for fac
tories, and there is money outside of the
state that will come here if very slight
Inducements are held out. Let us build
up the state and then there will not be
so much difficulty to get the money ne

Madame Calve tells this story on her
self, says Golfers Weekly: when 1 went
to the Theater de la Monnaie in Brussels
in 1881, 1 made my debut as Marguerite
My second performance was to be Cher
ubinO. At that time l was very slight
My neck and arms were thin, and so, of
course, were my legs. l did not think
l could possibly appear in breeches with
out something to make me look little
plumper. So l went to the costumer of
the theater and told him l wanted some
pads He made them according to his
own ideas of what beautiful legs should
be- and sent them to me so late that
had no time to try them on. l don't know
what l must have looked like when
stepped on the stage thin and girlish from
the waist up, but provided with the most
enormous calves. After the first act the
manager rushed around to my dressing
room. My heavens" he exclaimed
where in the world did you get those
legs. They certainly are not your own
| admitted that they were not, and said
l thought l was too thin to dispense with
pads. Don't you know, he said to me
that young girl with straight slender
legs is far better suited in the part of
a page than when she dishgures herself
with such things as those? Take off the
pads ana go out in your own legs I de-
cided to follow his advice. When I came
on the stage again l was thin, but at least
symmetrical The effect on the audience
was startling. I seemed to see the peo-
pie in the theater craning their necks to
discover what had happened to change
me so. The conductor OF the orchestra
stared a me as if his eyes would pop out
of his head. After a moment or two the
cause of the astonishing alteration in nv
looks seemed to be unders God and there
was litter of laughter through the au-
dienoe. Since that time l have never worn
pads"
