produce.
If more of our young men would be
take themselves to judicious farm life
and not wish to make a great lot OF
money in one year. but lay a good broad
foundation for farming, and be content
with moderate gains, they would make
enough for comfortable living and have
a substantial gain in the improvement OF
their farms, and some cash also. Happi-

a Barbarous Act.

w. j. Bryan in the Commoner.
There never was any logic in duelling.
1t sometimes settled the persons in
volved, but it never settled the question
in dispute. If one man called another a
liar, the charge was neither proved or
disproved by the violent death of one OF
the parties at the hands of the other.
We have now reached a point where pub
lie opinion condemns the duel and com
mends the courage of the man who de-
clines, rather than the courage of the
man who sends challenge. Let us hope
that the time is approaching when pub
lie opinion will condemn the fist fight as
means of deciding a question of We
racity. Even at present we may excuse
the man who in a fit of uncontrolla BILE
anger makes physical resentment to an
insult. but We cannot Justify it by any
process of reasoning.

COLLARS AND CUFFS
Raleigh Wants $4,000 to
Establish Factory.
Over One Halt Amount Needed Raised. Bust
ness Men and Capitalists Should Raise
Balance This Week.

A few people now living in North Caro-
lima recollect when there were only one
or two cotton factories in the State.
Later after the war cotton mills were
talked about. 1t was said "they can't
be operated with profit in the South.
Providence and other great cotton manu-
featuring centres would eat you up" Yet
it seems we have today some $50 cot
ton mills in North Carolina, all good
paying investments. Many now living can
recall the fact that their furniture came
from Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids, Mich
Again it was said, North Carolina can't
compete with these enormous enter
prises. However, there are today about
twenty-five furniture factories alone in
High Point, N c.. making from the cheap
est to the most elegant furniture that
native woods land we have almost any
kind and skilled workmanship can pro-
duce.
1t would be strange if they are not
profitable while new plants are springing
up every few months for the manufacture
CT furniture.
The following is part of an advertise
nent taken from a popular monthly:
THE COLLAR CITY.
Over 80 per cent of the collars used
every year in this country are made in
Troy, New York. The best of the popu-
lar for % cents are made there, ETC.,
etc.
Captain N. w. West has spent several
weeks looking into the establishment of
a collar and cuff factory in Raleigh. Such
an industry, if established, would grow
and in a few years there would be many
of them in the South. Think of it, 10000
girls are employed in Troy, N. Y, making
collars and cuffs. An immense building
420x210 ca solid Raleigh Block stories
high, and there are q collar, cuff and
shirt factories in the city of Troy.
Ten thousand dollars has been sub
scribed to this enterprise in Raleigh by
others than those in business. 1t would
seem that the other $4,000 should be
had from merchants and others more di-
rectly interested. 1t is estimated it will
require about 500 600 to put the business
on basis where no more capital would
be required Two-thirds of the cost of
making a collar or cuff is in the manu-
featuring of it. All the labor you want
young ladies-can be procured This
has been ascertained. The work is done
entirely by young ladies. One such fac
tory. as $40, 900 would establish would be
worth a big thing for Raleigh The time
has come when we can't trade among
ourselves-new industries must be started
# our beautiful city shall be prosperous,
as all its citizens wish tito become.

Premiums For Silk Growing.

To the EditOr:-Permit me to call the
attention of the State Agricultural So
ciety to the Importance of Offering a
number Of premiums at the next State
Fair for raw and manufactured silk in
it's different forms, produced in North
Carolina during the present year.
Silk culture differs from all other Sc
rious agricultural employment in that it
must OF necessity remain an incidental
work for those who can not do ordinary
labor. 1t is work suitable only for wo-
men, children, the aged and feeble. Yet
it is very far from being a trife. Small
leaks sink great ships" Many mickle
makes muckle." From time immemo-
rial silk growing has had the special pro-
lection of governments, and such protec-
ton has always been richly repaid! 1t
required the whole power of Henri w to
establish silk growing in France, yet silk
and it's manufacture has now for over
three hundred years been the mainstay of
the national wealth of France. 1t has
been so also in Italy, Germany and China.
The North Carolina Agricultural So
Ciety can not do better than to offer
premiums for encouraging the newly
awakened zeal for this industry, now
shown by the women and children of the
State.
The first attempts at any new bust
ness are profitable chiefly in the way of
experience. 1t is good, and for the COM
mon veal, that the society which at least
in name represents the agricultural in
terests of the State, should bear part of
the cost of this experience.
If the society so determines, the pro-
posed premiums must be named and pub
lished at once, in order that those who
wish to compete may procure the neces-
saTy material in time to start the work
the latter part of April.
I would suggest the following pre-
miumS:
!. For best general display Of silk, raw,
reeled. spun. carded and worked into use
full articles, $50.
2. For best display of cocoons raised
in North Carolina, $40.
8. For second and third best displays of
cocoons. so and IS.
4. For best essay on silk growing based
upon personal experience in North Caro-
lima, $40 and a gold medal if worthy of
it.
). For best automatic silk reel for hand
or power, gold medal.
6. For best display of useful articles
made from waste" silk by a resident OF
North Carolina, gold medal
