Effect Upon Wases.

BILE. It has been possible to obtain com
pIete returns IN comparatively few cases
These show that among unskilled laborers
both the number and per cent Of those te-
ceiving less than s. per week were In
creased. There was then decided de-
crease until the class receiving from - TO
50 was reached. There was very note,
worthy increase in both the number ana
per cent of employees receiving from SS TO
SO a week, In the higher class receiving
from 50 to $40 per week. and In the sun
higher one receiving from $40 to Ao
Among clerks the rate of wages were con-
siderably more stable than in the case or
the two preceding classes. The per cent
of clerks employed in each class varied but
little, except In the classes receiving from
80 TO $40 and from S15 to SO per week.
On the whole, taking the summary of all
the employees. but excluding superfnten-
dents, foremen and travelling salesmen
there was under combination a slight In
crease of wage earners Of the lowest class,
and thereafter in the classes whose wages
ran from IS to So per week a decided In
crease in both the number and per cent or
men employed. although there was also
considerable increase in some of the class
es receiving the higher wages. In those
cases however, the number of persons In
volved was so small that the general ef-
feet upon the wage-earning class as a
whole could be but slight, even assuming
that the figures for these combinations
would hold good for Industrial combina-
tiouS In general.

LAUREL. Md. August 10. 1901.
The Laurel water board met in the town
hall last night, with Mr.. Charles H. STAN
ley, chairman. presiding and Mr.. Jay C..
Howell serving as secretary. Mr.. George
Earle, a member Of the board, presented an
elaborate plan to that body intended to
provide means Of securing an adequate
supply of water from a nearby source. This
plan will be referred to the engineer hav-
ing the work of the installation of the
water works in charge. and a report on tha
plan Is expected to be ready to be present.

The question as to where the town will
secure its supply Of water was supposed
to have been settled some time ago, but
such Is not the case. 1t was then Thought
that the Lake on the Van Tyne farm. lo-
Gated about a mile south Of this place,
would furnish the necessary supply but

tha proposition to utilize the water of the
lake on the Van Tyne farm seems to have

Owing to a number Of unforeseen difficul-
ties, the contractors for the installation OF

complete 1t within the limit specified. .Au-
gust was the time set for the completion
Of the work and the assumption of control

View Commonly Accepted.
It is commonly believed that one of the
chief evils of large corporations is the lack
of responsibility of the directors to the
stockholders. In many eases the directors
hold their positions for series of years.
and practically never make reports that are
calculated to give to the individual stock
holders much light on the actual methods
of management The returns from, this in
vestigation would SEEM, on the whole, to
Justify this general view. Out of thirty
three corporations replying to a question
regarding reports, one is in the habit of
giving quarterly reports to the stockhold-
ers, one makes reports when called for;
two stated that no reports ara required:
the remainder make reports annually On
the other hand. it Is generally true that
the nature Of the reports Is largely In the
hands OF the directors themselves. One
company states that its annual report
covers EVERY essential point pertaining to
business" but this is a company which has
comparatively few stockholders, and is
largely private in its nature. In one case
the report IL fairly made would show the
actual situation. the statement being that
assets, liabilities. earnings and profits
are given Another company speaks of
reporting the Comparative conditions of
cost of materials. Of transportation, of
labor, and so on" but nearly all simply
state that they report upon "the general
affairs Of the company, or the general
condition OF the business" or the ffiran-
ciaI condition." ETC.. without going into de-
tails. the reports evidently being what the
directors wish.
This investigation does not seem to war
rant the opinion which has. been at times
Expressed that the combinations had their
tendency toward monopoly strengthened

whose connection with the combination
Was such that It wasa enabled to kedp prae-

inviting, or casual observation, as
a field for agricultural enterprise
''What is it good for?" asks one;
CHOW can man earn living on
it, let alone make any money out
of it," enquiries another. By way
of convincing answer, we take
these sceptics to see few of the
many fine farms, orchards and
vineyards about Southern Pines,
we point to the heavily laden fruit
trees and vines and the gardens
and fields that in variety, size and
abundance of their products, COM
pare most favorably with any Of
the North and West.
Surprised, convinced against
their wills, they ask allow is it
done?" We answer, "These lux.
uriant and profitable crops are the
product Of this same sandy soil,
plus fair amount each of energy,
enterprise, brains, labor and ferti-
lizer. Then we leave them to
ponder over this fact for day or
two, and when we feel certain
that their nerves are strong enough
to withstand the almost certain
shock of surprise it will occasion,
we take them out to the Expert
mental Farm of the North Carolina
horticultural Society, just d miles
from town, introduce them to the
energetic and cour-
teous Superintendent ofthe farm,
Capt. A. D. McNair, and with him
we make complete tour Of the

Next week we will ask our

North Carolina sand proftably
