The Chicago Tribune recently pub
1ished a study Of the earnings Of GER
tain classes of Chicago working peo-
pie. According to the showing of the
Tribune there is vast portion of Chi
cago's population whose earnings are
so pitifully inadequate as to excite the
wonder that actual starvation does not
exterminate them. The investigation
was conducted by Miss Nellie Outten,
q graduate student Of the department
of sociology in the University OF Chi
cago. Miss Outten found people work
ing under almost unbelievable condi-
tions of filth and cold and darkness.
The particular industry that she in
vestigated was finishing work on
clothing. The nationalities repre-
scented among the workers were 1tal-
ians, Swedes, BohemiGns, Jews and
Poles. Women were found working
whose average weekly wages did not
exceed for,y cents. or little less than
$21 year The statement is made that
the average o. the wages paid in the
sweat-shcns is cniy $717 a year The
aver&s. o. tie earnings OF whole
family is Eat down at only $2191.'9 per
annrm. Mss Ou,tcn adds to all this
the >;tnment that wages are steadily
falling.

No one who appreciates the condi-
tons Of modern society can pOsSibl.;
underestimate the fact that the stage
offers a wonderful opportunity for
good or evil. Fortunately, during the
present season, its work has not been
in behalf Of corruption, and this has
been largely because the public would
not have it that way, observes the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
Equally, it has not been in the direc-
ton Of piety and reverence. Its moral
value has been as near the neutral
line as the campaign Of politician
who tries to capture votes in a close
district.

The ingenuity CT the inventors or
firearms may be expected to produce
the seemingly impossible gun that will
shoot around O corner. The basis Of
this hope is the perfection of a rapid
fire arm which does zigZag shooting.
at a recent test Of new French artil-
lery at Harfeur the foreign military
attaches were surprised by the accur-
acy and the rapidity Of fire of the
pieces, one having thrown thirty shots
in one minute and fifty seconds. \
popularity Of this piece is that, in
spite Of the automatic arrangement
which holds the gun in place, tho
shells fall in widely different places
By an adjustment of the copper cap
which explodes the shell the latter can
be made to burst at shorter or longer
distance and to deviate to the right or
left. Without any change in the posi-
tion of the gun and without any reduc-
ton in the rapidity OF its fire 300
square metres Of ground can be COW
cred in zigzags. 1t is thought that a
single piece Of this kind could throw
an entire column into disorder.

Cotton Doing Better Under Improved
Weather Ccnl.fionS.

The week ending Monday, May 9th,
averaged warner than usual, being
the first week of the present season
with temperatures aboTe the normal.
Maximum temperatures Of 80 or above,
occurred generally on the first three
days of May, with an extreme maxi
mum Of 96 at lackville on the 41h; the
minimum for the week was 10 at
Greenvllle and Kingstree on April
29th, on which date light frosts oc.
Cured at numerous points, but with
out doing material damage.
The rainfall for the week was very
light, and confined entirely to the wes-
tern counties bordering on North Car
olina. The ground has become dry
over the eastern half Of the State,
where there is marked deficiency in
the seasonable rainfall, while over the
whole State rain IS needed TO stimulate
plant growth, to germinate recently
planted seeds. to facilitate transplant
ing tobacco and to soften the baked
and crusted soil 80 as to permit young
sprouts to come up. Truck is suffering
severely for rain and yields have been
materially diminished by the drought.
Wheat and oats also would be greatly
benefited by showers at this time.
Corn improved in appearance, stand
and color, although stands continue
generally poor and broken. Late plant
ings are coming up better. Corn has
not all been planted over the western
counties, and bottom lands are now be-
ing prepared for corn. Over the cen.
trail and eastern counties, corn is re-
ceiving it's first cultivation, but it is
small for the season. This crop needs
rain at present.
Cotton that was recently planted ls
coming up nicely where the soil IS
moist, but over two-thirds of the State
it was necessary to replant from one
half to tWo-thirds OF the cotton that
was planted previous to April 18th.
Seed continues scarce, and there is a
diversity of opinion as to the effect II
so much replanting, some correSpon-
dents noting a decrease in the average
while many Of them believe the acre
age will not be materially decreased
thereby. Planting Is about finished.
Sea-island cotton is dwarfed, and muea
replanting is necessary.
Tobacco transplanting is delayed by
drought, and it is not more than two
thirds finished, although some farmers
are setting out plants and watering
them. Rice is doing well. Wheat has
improved and is heading. Oats very
greatly in condition. but in most local.
tiles continue promising, although gen.
orally heading low. With many ex.
ceptions, peaches, pears and plums VIII
be plentiful, but apples are less prom.
ising. Truck shipments are compare
lively light Strawberries are ripen.n2
generally. Gardens and pastures need
rain. Melons have poor stands and
much replanting has been done. Few
insects, except Colorado beetles Oh
white potatoes, have made their ap'
pearance. Sweet potatoes rotting in
beds.
