THE SURVIVAL OF A CHAIR.


AT the time We left Roraima she
was afire from her stem to the aft en-
gineroOm bulkhead. As We looked back
we saw strange thing. A common
reed chair, such as you often see on
the deck of a transatlantic liner, was
hanging in the air to the ships stern.
1t had been fastened to the after flag
and braced below so that II hung of
in space just beyond the reach of the
flames. Some poor devil had rigged II
there and sat in it to save himself
from fire, afraid to jump on account of
the fierce rush of the volcanic currents
below. We could see him there, sitting
in his chair, long before we left the
ship, at the back of the solid wall Of
fire which divided US from him, and
he must have suffered terribly before
he dropped from his perch and went
overheard. We could not get at him
on account of the fire In the forward
part Of the saloon, but staterOom was
at hand close by, with plenty of life
buoys, and he might have got one and
put it on; but strangely enough, after
all that fire there hung the empty chair
literally intact. The next morning the
chair still hung there unharmed.--
Chief Officer Scott's account of the loss
of the Roraima in Martinique harbor,
in Leslie's Monthly.

/ was wandering through an old

stopped before a stone which had not
been long in place. A man who must
have been following me stepped up and
said:
'Ah, sir, but she who lies here will
be missed for years to come! She was
for half lifetime the president Of the
charity board
In an absentminded way 1 handed
him a siXpence, said the traveller. He
received it. turned it over in his hand
in hesitating way and finally STAN
mered:
''AS she was my own wife, sir, and
as l was here to plant flowers on her
grave, perhaps it would not be exactly
proper to accept fee."
replied that but for him I might
never have known about her being
president Of the board. and he swal-
lowed his scruples and pocketed the
sixpence with one motion and with evil
dent satisfaction.

The city authorities have done all in

In all there are eleven recreation

open all day and four others in the

success and a blessing to the little

There is no denying the fact that
the benevolence that prompted these
breathing spots for the poor children
of the city of Newark is of the service

which the favored little ones will grow
will be the result.
If all great cities had these play
grounds, the children would not throng

hear things and see sights which can
not fail to have a bad effect upon
their morals

Disproofs of the trite maxim that
trade follows the flag have been
numerous of late years, but per.
haps one of the most graphic comes
to hand in the fact that Great Brit
ain Is buying supplies of meat for
the South African army In Argen-
tina, instead of her own colonies of
Australia apd New Zealand, where
they have quantities of meat for
which there Is no market. 1t Is
remarked that 1t Is no wonder the
people of the colonies are protest
testing. 1t Is improbable that the
meat of Argentina Is better than
Australian meat-"at any rate the
colonial product ought to be good
enough for British soldiers" The
best reason preferred must be be-
cause 1t Is cheaper. But right at
this point 1t appears that the COM
mercial flag always goes for car
goes to the cheapest market. no
matter what national flag floats
over 1t. The two flags do not nee
essarily travel together. If this
British illustration Is not enough,
what of our own experience In the
Philippines? American trade there
has actually lost ground, In com
parison with that of other nations,
since we began to rule the Islands.

Decided by the Criminal Court
jury

Jury.
Two important cases, both of the
same nature, were decided Monday
at Criminal Court by two different
juries
These cases were important be-
cause they affected all oil operators
In Wood county, and oil men gen.
orally were interested In the local
field, for operating their wells of
Sunday, the indictments having
be en- found at a former term of
court.
The first of these was called for
trial Monday morning, and lasted
nearly all day. The members of
the firm admitted that they had
operated the wells complained of,
on Sunday. They stated that they
had fourteen wells In the Bull
Greek field all light producers,
which 1t was necessary to pump,
and In order to make them pay the
utmost economy In operating them
had to be observed. All the wells
were hitched onto one power ma
chine, and this machine was
operated by the gas that came
from their wells. This gas cost
nothing, but 1t was necessary 70
keep TIE power going all day in
order to keep the gas supply and
oil from being drowned out by wa
ter, which would have been the
case If they had closed down opera
tons on Sunday. They lad figured
on the use of coal for fuel but 1t
cost them 10 cents bushel deliv-
cred 10 the power machine, and at
times 1t was utterly impossible TO
get coal there.
The expense of coal for fuel
would be so great that there would
be no profit in the production. and

cHARLoTTEs COTTON MILLS.

In that year QS76) there were in New England not many. if any. fewer than 800 mills with nearly 100000 spindles.
 But the upward movement in the south had begun. It was slow enough at first as a matter of course.
 In 1880 in all the south there were only 161 mills, but with improved de- vices the number of spindles had in creased from 325. 900 to 542, ,OOO. Between 1SSO the year when the tide of indus trial revival really began to be felt and the year 1890 there was leap up ward.
 In 1890 there were in the southern states 239 mills operating 1,554 ,O00 spin dles gain of IS mills and over mil lion spindles.
 In this year of 1902 there are over 800 cotton mills in the south operating more than 5,OOOOOO spindles. 15O0O0 looms, employing an invested capital of over $115.0OO.OOO as compared with barely $10000. 900 in 1876. Of the II ,000. coo bales of cotton produced in the year 1900, the mills of the south consumed 1.65O.OOO as compared with about 65 ,OOO in 1876.
 Now of all this great progress North Carolina is the center of the pivot. The old North State in 1900 had 250 cotton mills as compared with 363 iii Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee. South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama and Mis- sissippi combined.
 All of these states together had 36a mills in 1900, or only 113 more than North Carolina alone. At the present
