City platform as fixed and unchanage-
able as the laws Of the Medes and Per
sions, and it is within the limits OF
the possible, politically, that the next
National Democratic Convention will
materially change that platform; con-
sequently the criticisms of Mr.. Bryan
on the action of the Ohio Democratic
Convention in an off year should not
worry anyone. Mr.. Bryan's opinion
is merely an opinion and no one IS
bound by what he thinks or says. If
his opinion is the correct one and IN

policies when the next platform comes
to be written, his opinion will probably
prevail, but until that time arrives

Furniture Making in South.

A recent paper on furniture manu-
featuring in the South. by.Mr. z. N.
Armstrong. of High Point, n. c.,
furnishes the following information
Permit me to give a few facts in
regard to the manufacture of furniture
in High Point, n. c., as [ am more
familiar with the factories of that
place, and as it is a representative
Southern manufacturing town. The
first factory there, the High Point
Furniture Company, began work in
1889. They first made wheap chamber
suits. Now there are thirty-three fac
tories, one for every one hundred and
fifty people. Thomasville, seven miles
from High Point, has twelve, which
manufacture every article of furniture
which man needs from the time he
lies in his cradle until he seelps at
last in his coffin within his window
less palace. It would be tedious to
mention the name of the different
factories and their managers and the
various articles of furniture manufac-
tured, which include everything that
is needed for use and ornament in a
modern dwelling, business house or
Office. These goods are shipped to
avery State of the Union and to some
foreign countries.
''The factories have been uni
formly and remarkably successful.
Regular dividends ranging from 10
to 25 per centum per annum have
been paid in nearly all cases. Stock
sells at a good premium without
exception. Not $4,000 worth of
stock is owned out of town and
none outside of the State. Many
stockholders are young men and boys
now at work at the benches. All labor
employed is white, with the exception
of few negroes, who drive drays and
handle lumber about the yard. An air
of thrift, cleanliness and prosperity
pervades the entire town. There is
nothing about the work that is de-
grading mentally, morally or physical
ly. It is no uncommon thing for the
sons of the richest men in the town to
begin by turning lathe by the side
of men who support their families on
81 a day or less. The furniture factory
has made High Point what it is today,
and aleady it is widely known as a
furniture manufacturing town.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, July 16.-The week end
ing s a. NJ, July 18th, had nearly
normal temperature, but was slightly
cooler than usual over over the south
eastern portion, where there was also
deficiency in sunshine. The weeks
maximum was 100 at Blacksville on
the 18th, and the minimum was IS at
Greenville and Spartnburg on the 9th,
10th and 18th. There was one severe
local storm in Pickens County, and
there were nigh, drying winds during
the middle of the week throughout the
State.
Showers were frequent, and some
quite heavy, along the southeastern
coast and over the northeastern coun-
ties, and there were light scattered
showers elsewhere, but general y
throughout the State there was no
rain until the 18th, when showery con-
ditions prevailed over the whole State.
Rain was badly needed for all crops,
although the absence of rain was ia
vorable for cleaning crops and giving
them much needed cultivation. Some
fields are still grassy, and will either
be abandoned or allowed to make what
they will in their foul condition.
Cotton improved under cultivation,
and, although still very small, looks
healthy and is fruiting better than
last week. Most of the fields have
been cleaned of grass, and the plant
are growing slowly. In places cotton
continues to have yellow color, and
there are reports of shedding leaves
and squares. Sea-island is thriving,
but the plants are dwarfed, and blight
is present in spots.
Old corn is extremely poor and will
scarcely make half an average crop,
while later paintings are more promis-
ing. Bottom land corn is practically
a failure. In certain widely separated
sections the corn crop is excellent, but
its average condition is low. Tobacco
cutting and curing made progress. In
localities an Improvement in condition
is noted, while generally the crop re-
mains poor and inferior.
Rice is thriving and responds to cul-
tivaton, but in Colleton county cater
pillars are doing great damage. Melons
are only beginning to ripen and will
have poor yields. Sugar cane, sor-
ghum, and peas are doing nicely.
Sweet potatoes look promising. The
dry weather caused pastures to fail
rapidly. Peaches and grapes are still
rottng. but not so extensively as
heretofore. Apples continue to drop.

THE NEWSPAPER.

a newspaper may be honest without
being either fair or a just newspa-
per. It may be courageous, and yet
lack both intelligence and honesty.
It may be intelligent and yet lack in
courage and honesty. It is compare
lively easy for newspaper to be hon
est in mere financial sense. 1t is not
so easy to be honest and courageous in
the higher sense-in proclaiming the
truth, regardless of whether it may
prove popular or otherwise; in stand
ing firmly for conservatism and fairness
and justice in spite of passing storms
of passion and prejudice and those
sentiments which in the enthusiasm
and intoxication of the hour forsake
reason and consume themselves in
their own heart. AS the newspaper
is the product of human beings it can
not escape the errors and mistakes and
weakness which beset humnity. But
it in an entity upon which rests great
responsibility. Something more is
required of it than is expected of the
mere time server and self-seeker in the
field of politics or the world of greed
and grab. The yellow newspaper, the
sensational journal to which nothing
is sacred, and which has only gain for
its object-the newspaper that is salts
fed to cater to ignorance and preju-
dice in order to gain readers or worth
less praise, which seeks to array class
against class, the rich against the
poor, the poor against the rich, and
which strives to attract attention or
popularity by an extreme course in the
advocacy of some passing movement,
sentiment or fancy, contributes moth
ing to the public good or the general

Type metal is much more expensive
than commercial babbit metal and is
much superior as any one who has
