Of them do, and some even pay more.

THE SPINNERS AHEAD OF THE
GROWERS.

The North Carolina farmers have
allowed the North Carolina cotton
spinners to get ahead of them. The
spinners now use up more raw cotton
than the farmers can supply, and are
obliged to buy in other States a por-
ton of what they need. The farmers
should brace up and keep pace with
the mills, so as tie preserve the sym
metry of production. Philadelphia

THE building Of another cotton mill
ought to be followed by the establish
ing of a knitting factory. These
enterprises 60 well together. Knit
ting mills have paid in other towns,
why not in Henderson? 1t is true
that one or two mills in the Eastern
part of the State did not pay the
stockholders anything for the first
few years, but they made money and
found it difficult to supply the de-
mand for their product. No divi-
dends were declared because the
earnings were employed in charging
the mills, this plan being adopted in
preference to increasing the capital
stock or assessing the stockholders
for the purpose.

AMONG the several excellent gen
plemen who came down from Raleigh
last week to meet Mr.. Bryan was our
good friend Mr.. B. Il. Lacy. There
is no cleverer man in the State and
personally he is esteemed very highly
by all who know him. Mr.. Lacy is a
candidate for State Treasurer and his
delightful personality, his sterling
Democracy and his eminent qualiti-
cations should make him a formidable
claimant before the nominating con-
ycntiOn.

Col. Burgwyn's candidacy for the
State Treasurship gathers force. His
wide reputation and personal popu-
larity throughout the State coupled
with his we'll known fitness for the
place give him great prestige, while
friends are active in his behalf.
Col. Burgwyn is all aspirant for the
office but he will engage in no I'M
seemly contest to secure the nomina-
ton. Nor indeed would that be
necessary when his opponents are
gentlemen of the highest character
and his personal friends.

The Chrysanthemum.

THOSE FRESH EGGS.



No Seemed 10 he.
II must not be supposed that the pres
ence Of the English In the Transvaal has
not had a sharpening effect on the dull
intellect of the Boer.
Since the Transvaal Boer has made the
acquaintance Of the Britisher he has
come to learn, among other things. that
the English prefer fresh eggs to stale
ones and that one of the tests employed
to Judge Of an egg is to shake it to see II
1t rattles In its shell. A shopkeeper newly
arrived from the Transvaal relates how
one morning q Boer farmer entered his
shop and offered to sell him u dozen
fresh laid eggs"
II looked at the farmer" says the shop
keeper, "and. feeling little distrustfu
looked At the eggs. They were beautiful

Kruger's Proph ecy.

The following extract from q letter
written shortly before the war in the
Transvaal, from an official of President
Kruger's government to correspondent
here, Is, viewed in the light of recent
events, almost prophetic:
"As l predicted to you four years ago,
war is upon us. We are again compelled
to fight for our firesides, but do not de-
spair for us. Our strength is very much

course, be ultimately successful, but be-

A German manufacturer who recently
visited Pittsburg was greatly surprised
In the difference in the welcome he re-
ceived eight years ago and at the present
time. At the former period the manu-
facturers entertained the foreign visitors
lavishly and showed them all the won
ders of natural gas and the resources Of
their plants. All this is now changed.
He requested permission to inspect GER
tain mills and see the improved machin-
cry and methods in vogue. He was sur
prised to find that it was impossible to
obtain the required permit. Other for
eigners have succeeded in entering some
of the mills, but the manufacturers are
becoming more and more chary in grant
ing facilities for the inspection Of their
plants. There was time, and it was
not SO long ago, when foreigners did not
care to enter the mills, but at the pres
ent time they are very anxious to do 80.
1t should be remembered that abroad in

we cannot receive in return.-Scientifc
