South Carolina mills ought to fill the
largest place in the exhibit. The cot
ton manufacturers in this state should
esteem it a privilege to assist the
people OF Charleston in the great work
they have undertaken, and for the one
practical reason, if no other, that but
fol' the amount on Charleston capital
invested in the mills of this state the
present development of this industry
would not have been possible. 1t was
stated some time ago upon the author
ity of a manufacturer in the Piedmont
country that from twO-thirds to three
fourths of the entire amount of the
capital invested in the cotton mills in
the upper part of this state and en-
ployed by these mills in the conduct of
their business was Charleston capital.
It is not unreasonable to expect that
the cotton mill industry, which has
been 50 greatly promoted by Charles
ton capital, should take an active part
in helping to promote the success Of
the exposition at Charleston. If the
presidents and managers and directors

Advance in Farm Values.

We are not surprised to see that
there is very large increase in the tax
returns of Georgia property this year.
The counties which have made their
returns so far are mainly agricultural
and they indicate that farm property
is becoming more valuable. This is
true not only of farm lands but of the
Improvements and the stock on farms.
The farmers of Georgia are better pre-
pared for their business than ever be-
fore and are going at it in more
effective way. By more thorough cul-
tivation their lands have been brought
up to higher state of productiveness
and there has been marked increase
in the average production per acre of
the principal crops of this state.-At-

zle The same electric motor which
propeIs the carriage drives the pump
as soon as the vehicle comes to a
standstill at a fire. This end is ac-
ccmplished by very ingenious sys-
tenn of gearing, which transmits the
power of the motor to the propelling
mechanism of the pump. This sys-
TEN, therefore, constitutes a complete
combination for immediate operation.
1t offers the advantage of permitting
the vehicle to start without any de-
lay as soon as an alarm is given, and
of allowing the engine to be set i'm
mediately in operation as soon as the
vehicle reaches the fire. Again, it is
with the same object of rapidity of
action in view that the hose of the
engine reel consists of rubber tube
provided internally with spiral of
metal, which preserves it's cylindrical
form and permits it to be kept full Of
water, even when it is wound up.
The engine starts off at the first
alarm, and, as soon as it reaches the
fire, commences to act in utilizing the

PATROLMAN's PREDICAMENT.
How Barney Flynn Broke the Ordi-

There was persistent pop, pop, pop
in the alley back of the house and Mrs.
Flynn put her head out of the kitchen
door to see what was the matter.
What are We doin' out there,

PARIS TRIES THREE OF THE MA

The fire department of Paris has re-
Gently added to it's apparatus three
types of fire automobiles driven by
electricity, which are said to have in
creased considerably the efficiency of
the departments service. One of
these vehicles is a hose wagon, and
has been in operation for some time
1t is essentially an electric wagon
capable of seating six men and pro
vided with a supply of hose, nozzles,
ladders and life-saving apparatus.
The electric fire pump, shown in
Fig. /, is of an entirely new type. 1t
consists in principle OF a metallic tank
of 100 gallons capacity, mounted up

fees for an operation of five or six
minutes. During this period, the
electric hose wagon, which immedi-
ateIy follows it, has had time to ar
rive in it's turn and allow the hose
that it carries to be coupled to n.y.
drant in order to supply the engine.
Then, if the extent of the fire requires
it, the attack is pursued as usual
with steam and hand engines; but, in
all cases, valuable time has been
gained by the preliminary and imme-
date action of the electric fre-engine.
The fire engine, in running order,
weighs, inclusive of the crew and 100
gallons of water, $3.50 pounds.
The engine, as we'll as the nose
wagon, is arranged in such a way as
to permit the utilization of part of
the energy of the accumulators for the
illumination, through arc or incandes
cent lamps, of fires that occur at
night This latter system will prove
particularly valuable in cases where
it is necessary to throw light into
places in which the existence of ex-
plosive mixture may be suspected.
Fig. 2 shows an electrically operat-
ed ladder wagon consisting of a low
truck, upon which the large ladder in
use in the departmpnt is hoisted al
most horizontally by means of an in
clined plane and a windlass. The
total weight Of this apparatus, inclu-
sive of it's crew, is $3.50 pounds. It

reasoning was clear, but he objected to
the conclusion.

That closed the talk in the sergeant's
quarters, but there was talk among
the corporals and among the prlvates.
There was the army in winter quarters,

and there was the captain of Company

His Colonel and his Brigadier had
given him permission to send for his
