Mayor Seth Lows First Message to
the Board of Aldermen

New York. January 6.-Mayor~ Low
sent his first message to the board Of
aldermen today. 1t was brief. and the
only subject treated was blackmail in
the civil administration. in the stamp
ing out of which he said he desired the
cooperation of the people of the city
IF during the next two years." the
message says, ANY citizen or n en-
plCye of the city pay money illesiti-
mately. either to avoid injury or in
convenience. or to secure his rights. he
will do it because he wants to. n not
because he must. No one. from the
largest corporation to the poorest boot
black. need pay a dime for protection
from harm, or to secure just treatment
at the hands Of the city government
No laborer, or other employee need
part with one cent of his salary to anv
one. either in or out of the city govern
ment. Anyone asked to make an i'm
proper payment for any purpose has
only to report the act to the mayor to
be sure of protection and redress.

The South Goes Ahead.

The progress of the south and its
promise of continued prosperity are IL
Illustrated nv the increased output of its
mines and furnaces. together With the
diversifcation of its iron and steel
products. In the last ten years Mary
land has increased her o. output
from 3,400, COO tons to 5.000.0 600 tons, Vir-
ginia from 675. 000 tons to $4,000 600 tons.
West Virginia from 800. 900 ton to 2J,-
600. 900 tons, Arkansas from S0.O00 tons
to l.750. 0G0 tons. Tennessee from 2.lW,-
600 tons to 4,200, 900 tons. Kentucky from
:. 0o0. 900 tons to 5000. 900 tons, Alabama
from 1900 900 tons to 10000 900 tons.
This increase, which is phenomenal is
a measure of the development of the
Industries and m in which coal
is consumed. 1t suggests the quicken
ing and enlargement Of n host OF enter
prises. In Alabama. for example. the
coal output means not only an article
for the south to export for spot cash,
but pig iron, steel and at an early date
steel rails In Virginia il means a
growing locomotive and s~hipbuilding
industry. This development q been
proceeding on its merit as a paying
proposition. The north has TO be COM
pefed with at every step, with the re-
suit that southern production has been
carried on economically and under con-
ditions that insure Its continuance.

The Magazine Pistol.

The famous National Arms Works of
Llege, in Belgium, have for several
years been carrying on trials in the
manufacture of ~self-loading firearms,
n a s~elf-lCading pistol, of the socall-
ed Browning system. invented by the
above works, has proven to be of sucn
an efficiency that the whole Belgian
cavalry regiments have been equipped
with this weapon.
Up to the year 1893 the s~elf-loading
mechanism had only been applied to
shoulder weapons (~rifles), but during
that year several manufacturers of fire.
arms tried to apply this mechanism also
to pocket pistols. and not without sue
cess. The first known s~elf-loading pis-
tol was that invented by n named at
ter ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, followed soon
by similar inventions of KRONER. Bor-
chardt and others. But all these invent
ors used the retrospective gas pressure
of the firing for the mechanical action
of opening, ~discharging. loading and
shutting. An improvement in this sys-
tenn has now been made in the Brown
in pistol. The entire weapon is made of
steel. The barrel has a calibre of 7.65
millimetres. n a length of 102 MILL
metres: while the whole weapon is 1853
m%illinetres long. The hard-lead car
tridges are copper-nickel plated, and
weigh As grains, containing o. grains
of smokeless powder. The efficiency of
the pistol is so reat that at a distance
of 720 feet the bal still pierces a two
inch thick oak board. The magazine
can receive seven sharp cartridges but
by pulling one of them into the barrel.
by means of the sledge. eight cartridges
may be provided for. The pistol is ex-
tremely fat. the exterior diameter OF
the barrel being only Is millimetres. an
advantage on account of which the
weapo is also appreciated in Belgium
by tourists and bicycle riders. The
mechanism of the pistol is worked
throughout by an ingenious system OF
springs, and this is said to be the great
advantage over the other ~self-loading
weapons.-Philadelphia Record.

The trend of events is well shown IN
"a statement of South Cardinals prog

Senator McLaurin. Since 1890, the SEN

a capital of $29. ZIG. 261. The number Of
employees was 90, 1874. n the amount
paid in wages was s5.474. 739. The value
of the product of these industries was
about $50. 600. 600.
In 1900 the number of Industrial es-
Establishments in South Carolina was B.

The capital invested was SCI. 1856, 465. an
increase of $50 per cent. The wage
