"The Old Plantation"

This book, written by the Rev. James
Battle Avirett, son of one If the largest
planters and slave owners in Eastern
North Ca, olina before the war, is one of
the most important contributions to the
history of the ante-bellum period in the
Southern States.
1t does not descend to argument i'll de-
Tense of the Southern planter and his
home life at that time but with faithful
hand presents picture ever true of the
life among these people as it really was.
1t is full of humor, and its fund of
anecdotes is almost inexhaustible. The
characters of Daddy CAIN" Uncle
Amos "Old Uncle Philip" and NANNY
Ferrebee' ranking in faithfulness of por-
trature and pathos; blent with bumor
alongside the Uncle Edinbor" of Thomas
Nelson Page and "The Cute of John Uli
Lloyd
With the humor runs serious vein
which shows the seamy side of the old
planters life, and its constant care to pro-
vide for and regulate his family of over
three hundred grown-up children as
the author tenderly calls the slaves.
Thele are side lights, too, on the poll
! tics of the period, but no ct empt to intro
| duce them or argue the correctness of any
persons theory.
The great charm of the book is its fidel-
| ity to facts and these stubborn things
as Mr. Grandglind calls them, are what
| furnish in this book the most effective an
swer ever written to those who have TIA
duced the ante bellum civilization of The
Old South"
To the younger generation North ant
South it can not fail to be both an inspi
ration and benediction for it is perhap:

that is past, but whose memories are red
olcnt with humor, pathos and romance.

REPORT OF AIMS HOUSE COMMITTEE.

A committee of our body visited the
Aims House. The negro quarters are not
large enough and we would recommend
an addition thereto, and also some repairs
to the said quarters. The quarters for
whites need some repairs The water sup

The premises around the buildings are
in good condition. Mr. Richard 5. Beall,
the keeper, performs his duties faithfully
and proves himself competent manager
of the institution, with the means at his
command.
We found 10 inmates: white males, 4

ostentatious on the part OF the girls guar
dams to make a show Of her throughout
the country, while. on the other hand, 1t
was said that by keeping her shut out
from public view she would learn notions
Of self-importance, which would cost her
many pang to rid herself Of when it be-
came necessary for her to do SO. From
the age Of thirteen to her succession, she
was largely under the tutelage of the
Duchess of Northumberland; but through
out what may be called the years OF her
private life her mother held the real guild
ing hand over her. She was permitted to
learn little of court life until she became
herself the head and heart Of that life
When William ~ died. Victoria was
not quite eighteen years old. She still
lived at Kensington Palace. The end

O'Clock In the morning OF June 20, 1887.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, DR.. How
ley, and the Marquis of Conyngham left
windsor for Kensington Palace to carry
the news of the event to the Princess, and
to administer to her the oath of Office.
The journey was made as rapidly as the
method Of travel would permit, and the
messengers arrived at Kensington about
o'clock in the morning. The story is
told that they encountered some difficult
ty in awakening the inmates of the pal
ace Finally, after knocking FOR some
time they reused the porter. who admit
ted them to the courtyard and to the re-
ception room, where they were left TO
wait until the attendant of the sleeping
Princess could be informed of their err
rand. The message they sent to her was
that they desired an audience with Her
Royal Highness. The attendant returned
after some time and informed them that
the Princess was sleeping so soundly that
she did not care to disturb her. They
said: 1--WE are come on business of state
to the Queen, and even her sleep must
give way to- that. -
This message was conveyed to the Prin-
cess. and she promptly responded to it in

to have been perfectly collected, and to
have met the ambassadors with much
dignity The interview was short. and
consisted simply Of the announcement to
the Princess Of the death of the King and
of her own accession. At II o'clock on
the same day Privy Council was held.

When the young Queen came to the
throne the nation was Just beginning to
! feel the benefits of the reform bill passed
in 1892. It made the House of Commons
| q more fairly representative body. by
bringing into i. districts that were not be-
fore represented and by abolishIng others
whose representation was superfiuous 1t
abolished ffty-six rotten boroughs and
took away the representation from about
thirty. more. Sixty-fve additional seats
were given to the counties. and thirty five
to towns that bad been previously unrepre-
sented
The Papineau rebellion in Canada was
one of the first agitations that the young
sovereign had to deal with. Having its
origin in what is now the Province of
Quebec, it spread practically all over Can
ada, and was not settled until there had
been some fighting and bloodshed. The
difficulty arose from discomfort in the Leg
islative Assembly OF Lower Canada, the
French Canadians claiming that they were
not fully represented.
Chartism at the same time attracted
general attention in England. This was a
demand on the part OF the discontinued,
the poor, and the professional agitators Of
the day for larger representation in Par
lament as means of securing to the dis
contented greater comforts and ease. The
demands included manhood suffrage for
all, annual Parliaments, vote by ballot,
the abolition of the property qualification.
payment of members Of Parliament, and
the division Of the country into equal
electoral districts. Serious riots ensued.
The Melbourne Ministry fell on meas
ure proposing to reorganize the govern
ment of Jamaica.
On the fab of the Melbourne Ministry
the Queen sent for the Duke of Yelling
ton. but he advised her to call Sir Robert
Peel as her adviser. and she did so.
Peers administration was of short dura-
ton. 1t was overthrow by the noted
bed-chamber controversy. Lord Mel
bourne. who was recalled. formed Wing
Cabinet, which at one of its earliest meet
ines adopted as a civil service platform
for their party that 1.-The great offices OF
the court and situations in the household
held by members of the Parliament should
be included in the political arrangements
made on a change of administration, but
that similar principle should not be ap-
pIied or extended to Offices held by ladies
in Her Majesty's household" The matter
proyoked some eloquent speeches in Par

her parents being the Duke and
Duchess of Kent. She was one
of large number of children
that were born within a year of her own
birth in the circle OF possible heirs to the
throne. Unusual mortality. however, at
tended these children. and although a
number o. them were nearer to the sue
cession than the Duke of Kent's only
daughter, che became heir presumptive.
Moreover, she was the only one Of the
possible heirs to the succession who was
born in England Within eight months
after her birth her father died, leaving
her mother in circumstances not at all
proportional. financially, to her respon-
sibilities.
The little Princess is spoken Of by con-
temporaneous writer's, and is represented
In pictures of the day, as a beautiful child,
round-faced, bright-eyed, and possessed OF
the characteristic features OF the family
from which she sprang. The Duchess OF
Kent led a retired and almost secluded
life during the first year of her widowhood-
Her most constant adviser was her broth
er, Leopold of Belgium. AS child the
Princess was not alone in the family at
Kensington and Clermont. The Duchess OF
Kent had been twice married, and had
children by her first husband. One OF these,
the Princess Fedora. who became the
Princess Hohenlohe, was the constant COM
Eanion of Princess Victoria, although some
years her senior.
Strict economy was practiced In the fam
lily of the Duchess OF Kent. The course
OF study that was marked out for the
Princess was more arduous than was pre-
scribed for other children OF her age. and
II was not until she became conscious OF
being heir to the throne that she could
satisfactorily account to herself for the
severity 0. the tasks laid upon her. She
was taught to observe all her expendi-
lures, and to apportion them strictly and
judiciously TO her income. II is asserted
that she was not permitted to know the
position which she occupied until she had
arrived at the age Of thirteen. When, in
1880, George ". died, she was brought SO
near the throne that in case of William
Tvs death before she became Of age, II
would have been necessary TO provide for
a regency during her minority. This pro-
vision was made by Parliament, which set
tied the possible regency on the Duchess
of Kent. Ter mother. After this it was
not practicable nor desirable that she
should remain longer in ignorance OF her
true relation to the nation.
Having made the young girl acquainted
with her prospects and responsibilities in
life, 1t became necessary TO instruct her in
the nature OF her Kingdom. The routine
Of study was continued. but was interrupt
ed occasionally by excursions into differ
ent parts of England. The broader iiber-
ty which was given to the young Princess
became a matter of national discussion.

MILLS ON THE SOUTHERN r.. IL.

Some idea OF the extent and maeni.
tude OF textile mill construction in the
south last year may be gathered from
a pamphlet issued recently by the
southern railway, says the Atlanta
Journal. 1t shows that during the
year 1900 no less than 81 mills were
pullt along the line of the Southern
railroad, containing 1,l37, 500 spindles
and %, 1856 looms.
In addition to this entirely new con.
struction many old mills increased
.helr equipment, or replaced old
machinery with new,
Besides the 81 mills completed on the
line of the Southern railroad last ear
there are 16 other mills in process of
construction, and recently several
strong companies have been organized
TO build more mills.
There are in operation on the line O
the Southern railroad, $3.50 cotton mills
with 4,361 ,63l spindles and 114,1St
looms.
On the same railroad are IS knitting
mills operating 1850 knitting machines
6T7 sewing machines and %, S3t
spindles.I
There are As wooden mills, with IS!
sets of ca DIS; 3,430 looms and 71,02t
spindles.
These are only a fraction of the
textile mills in the south but they
represent a vast industrial develop.
ment which has taken place almosI
entirely during the last few years.
