MILLS NORTH AND SOUTH
Aug. %, 1902.

New Bedford and Fall River cotton
mill men are beginning to see that
there is something else in the mill
problem besides child labor. They
begin to see that freight and insur-
ance is each an element of it, and
they r appealing to the transpor-
tation people to come to their relief
by granting through rates to each
New England mill.
1t is proposed, too, to deliver cot
ton at Fall River and New Bedford
by water transportation, the insur-
ance to be borne by the ~transporta-
ton companies, and it is said the
transportation companies have vir-
tually decided to come to the relief
of the New England mills, which
are indeed hard pressed, even in this
period of prosperity.
All such relief is, however, CHM
ercal. Railroads and steamboats, are
not conducted by men who are in
search of health. They are in search
of dividends, the fatter the better,
and any agreement to the contrary
will not prove enduring.
The best settlement of the prob
lem consists in putting upon the
South the manufacturing of coarse
cotton stuffs and upon New England
the making of fine goods-the two
to pull together against the rest OF
the world. New England has the
capital and skill to make all sorts OF
fine cotton goods, and the variety OF
them is becoming larger every year.
It is a reflection upon this country
that the greater part of its raw cot
ton is carried away to be spun and
woven in other countries. Every
pound of it should be spun here, and
much of it woven here. AS things
stand, however, we spin but a third
of it. If every New England mill
i were turned into a plant for the
manufacture of fine goods, the num-
Der of Southern mills could readily
be doubled, and then we would be-
! gin to get the upper hand of this
great industry as against the rest of
the world.

HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.

The Asheville Citizen, in report
ing the official visit of Col. T. H.
Balm to that city as Inspector Gen
eral, last week, has some very nice
things to say of him as follows:
"Col. J. F. Armfield, commanding
the First Regiment, N. G. S. G.,
and Col. T.. H. Balm, inspector gen.
eral of the guard, arrived yesterday
afternoon, and are at the Berkeley.
"Col. Balm is on his annual inspec-
ton tour Of the guard. He began on
the First regiment at Statesville and
Col. Armfield came with him to see
the Asheville companies, in which
he takes great pride.
"Last evening was spent with the
officers Of the city, and to-day is to
be given up to inspection of prop
erty and books.
Sat 6 o'clock this evening the two
companies and band formed ON the
square for parade and instruction in
skirmish drill. After the drill, the
inspection of muster roll and equip
ments will take place.
"On this trip Col Balm is also con-
demning all worn out property. He
expresses himself as being very much
pleased with the guard so far as in
spected. The improvement in dis
cipline is steady, he says.
"Oficers Of the guard say this is
in a great measure due to the ener-
getic work Col. Balm himself is do
ing. His instructions at the annual
inspection gives great chance for
this, they say, and he admits, him.
self, that what he tells the of.
ficers is well followed. Col. Balm
was captain of the Goldsboro COM
pany II years, and a better instruc-
tor is hard to find anywhere, while
the guard never had a better in
str%uctOr.D

"With much pleasure I recommend

Catarrh is Inflammation Of the mucous
membrane. 1t may be in the mucous
| membrane lining the eyes or the pelvic
organs, throat, stomach, liver, bowels Or
kidneys.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
| Peruna is an internal remedy; not a
local application.
Catarrh is a systemic disease, not q
local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh
in one place it will cure it in any other
, place, because Peruna is a systemic rem
edy. It reaches the disease through the
circulation in each organ. 1t eradicates
the disease by ~eradicating it from the

while backing up to the freight yard
the $50 train on the A. & N. G. r.
r., knocked a negro off the track in
front of the fish market. The negro,
who is a tobacco hand and employed
at one of the stemmeries in this city,
is boarding at a restaurant close by
the fish market. After the train
came on down in the city the negro,
whose name is Henry Wembush,
left the restaurant, where he had just
eaten supper and went out to the
railroad in front of the restaurant
and took his seat on the end of a
cross tie, where he fell asleep and
did not hear the approaching train.
The steps on the hindmoSt car
knocked the negro off the cross tie
and threw him into the street. He
was considerably bruised and may
be injured internally.

To Be Given a Franchise For Long
Distance and Local
:.
Exchanges.

The special committe of the Board
of Aldermen appointed to decide the
question met in the law Office of
Col. A. c.. Davis and decided to
grant a franchise to the Southern
Bell Telephone Company for both a
local and a long distance exchange
in Goldsboro. This question has been
before the Board several times be-
fore and there has been a disposition
to grant the franchise with some re-
strictions thrown around it. The
Board wished to put a time limit on
the franchise, compelling the phone
people to put their long distance ex-
change in within ninety days and
the local exchange within two years.
At the meeting of the committee
Thursday the restrictions were taken
off and the company will now enter
the city. A force of hands are now
at work putting up poles in the
Southern part of the city. They have
come with the line from Whining
ton and will when they complete
their work here in Goldsboro pro-
coed on to Raleigh. The company
have promised to put their wires un-
der ground on the business streets OF
the CITY and they also agrees to furn-
ish the city hall with a free phone
and will allow the city the s OF
conduits and poles for the fire alarm
system. They also agree to do the
work of putting up the system, pro-
vided the city will furnish the ma
terial.

LIVE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Coronation nnyoy's Expenses

A lively debate occurred in the Senate
upon all amendment to the Army Appro-
priation Bill offered by Mr.. Bailey, Of
Texas, providing that no part of the ap-
preparations made by the measure should
be used in defraying the expenses of the
special embassy to the coronation of
King Edward VII. of England Mr.. Bal
ley contended that the United States
should not send a special ambassador to
the coronation of England's King, or to
the coronation of any other ruler, when
the country thus honored did not extend
like courtesy to the United States on
the Inauguration of president. After
considerable discussion the amendment
was withdrawn and the bill passed.
Subsequently Mr. Bailey offered a res
olution, which will be considered later,
covering the point made in his amend
mcnt II provides that It is contrary
TO the policy of the United States to ac-
credit to any foreign government any
ambassador, minister or other diplomatic
officer or agent to especially represent
the United States at the coronation Of
any hereditary prince or potentate' 1t
also provides that the president has no
power to appoint such an envoy, except
with the Senates sanction.
