ANOTHER EFFORT TO LIFT THE
CUP

London dispatches say that there is
widespread resolve in British yacht cir
cles TO make one great effort to cap
ture the Americas cup. In some of the
dispatches that were sent from Lon
don Immediately after Sir Thomas Lip
toms failure to capture the cup, an
impression was sought to be conveyed
that Englishmen did not take much in
terest in the yacht contest anyway,
and were not greatly put out by Sir
Thomas's defeat. 1t turns out how
ever, that the impression conveyed by
such dispatches was incorrect. AS a
matter of fact the British people gen
orally feel very sore over Sir Thomas
defeat. They did not say much be-
fore the races, because they thought
he was certain to be successful, and
that then they would have a great
time rejoicing.
England regards shipbuilding as one
of the greatest and most famous of
her trades. She doesn't like the world
to think she hasn't a designer that
can design a boat and a builder that
can build a boat that can beat the
American boat. BY Sir Thomas de-
feat she is put in the position of be-
ing inferior in the matter of shipbuild-
ing to the United States. That is hui
initiating to her. and, at the same
time, is hurtful to her shipbuilding
business. The nations that buy ships
are likely to patronize American ship
yards rather than those of England.
It will be recalled that when the En-
peror William wanted fast sailing
yacht he did not patronize either his
own shipyards or those of England,
but sought a builder in this country.
1t is said that the manager of Thor
neycroft's shipbuilding works has sug-
gested that there be a conference of
designers of yachts and shipbuilders
for the purpose of taking steps to see
what can be done towards building a
boat to challenge for the cup next
Works that Shamrock l. was built.
Naturally the manager of that ship
building plant feels a deep interest in
building a boat that will win the cup
and thus restore the credit of Eng
fish shipbuilders for building fast ships.
He is of the opinion that if all the
designers and ship builders get togeth-
er they will be able with the data they
now have to decide upon a model that
will beat the Reliance or any other
boat that can be constructed on this
side of the Atlantic ocean.
English yachtmen and shipbuilders
have been thinking that way for the
last half century, and, as Sir Thorn
as says, they seem to be as far away
from capturing the cup as ever they
were.

NEGROES LEARNING TRADES.

Those who took particular notice of
the labor day parade yesterday must
have been surprised at the turnout
made by the negroes. There is no
doubt that they are getting a strong
foothold in the mechanical trades. 1t
is perhaps within the bounds of truth
to say that majority of the mechanics
of this city are negroes.
The Georgia State Agricultural and
Mechanical College in this county is no
doubt having a very great influence
on the trades bodies of this commune
ty. Not only does a large percentage
of those graduated from the college
find employment here, but the fact that
so many do influences other to come.
AS far as we know the great majority
of them are very good workfnen. 1t
is to be regretted, however, that more
of the negroes do not take to farming.
If we are rightly informed the number
of graduates from the college near
Thunderbolt that engages in farming
as an occupation is remarkably small,
though that institution teaches about
everything pertaining to the cultiva-
ton of the soil.
The reason of this probably is that
negroes do not like the lonely life of
the country. About all of them are
anxious to get to the towns. Another
reason is that they lack means with
which to acquire land. farming imple-
ments and stock. They could easily
acquire the means for beginning farm
ing if they were thrifty, but lacking
in that respect they turn to occupations
in which they can earn wages
No people ever had such an opportu-
nifty to become finacially Independent
as the negroes. All over the South there
is an abundance of unoccupied pand
which can be had at a small price per
acre. A few are acquiring farms, but
the percentage that is doing so is very
small. The negroes like employment
that does not require steady work,
day in and day out. They prefer to
work a few days and then take a rest.
That is the reason they do not sue
coed as cotton mill operatives.
Judging from the showing they made
yesterday, however, they are gradual
ly getting control of the trades in the
South-that is, if they are as strong
in the trades in other Southern cities
as they are here. In the North they
are being driven out of the trades In
fact, the percentage in the trades there
is very small. Here in the South, how
ever, there is no opposition to them
in the trades, and if they show thrift,
ability and steadiness of purpose
chances are they will become the me-
chanics of the South

SHAW AND THE SOUTH AMERICAN
TRADE.

It is somewhat surprising to find Sec
rotary Shaw taking the position that
the reason we do not get larger share
of the trade of South America is that
we do not have enough steamers run
ming TO South American ports. 1t isn't
the part of steamship owners to work
up trade If there were more trade
there would be more steamers running
from our ports to South American
ports. Ships are always ready TO go
where business is offered them. If
there were more commerce between
South America and this country there
would be more lines of steamers or
more steamers on existing lines.

Cnrried the Joke Zoo Ear.

A Chicago millionaire, George T.
Cline, had an extraordinary hobby,
says an exchange. He was a connois-
seur of Irishmen, according to the To-
cal papers. Though on himself he
would never spend more than Is or 20
cents a day, he thought nothing of
buying Irishmen sumptuous dinners,
with champagne, in order to hear them
talk in their musical brogue. An Irish
man once played Col. Cline false. He
stole a pair of boots from him. Dis
covering the theft, the millionaire pur-
sued the Irishman, overtaking him as
he was about to enter a pawnshop
with the boots in his hand. Those
are my boots; you have stolen Them"
said Col. Cline. Sure, it was only a
joke" said the Irishman. But the in
exorable millionaire hauled the thief be-
fore a magistrate, and here again the
man repeated: 1T was only a joke,
your honor" "Only a joke, hey?" said
the magistrate. well, Mr.. Cline, how
far away from your house had he car
ried the boots when you overlook him ?"
"Over a mile, SIR replied the million
aire. Held for court" said the magis-
trate. This is a case of carrying the
joke too far

His Arithmetic Correct.

Maj. Stofer of Washington, D. c.,
Virginian. journalist and raconteur, is
very fond of children, says the Detroit
Free Press, and recently at Cape May
he made friends with a bright boy Of
about 10 years. One day when the boy
joined the major on the beach he had
with him two little girls.
And who are the pretty little
misses?" inquired the major, with true
Culpepper courtesy, after greeting the
boy
MY sister" replied the boy, with a
twinkling eye.
(Which one is your sister?"
Both is" said the boy.
Both are said the major, reprov-
ingly, as his manner is at such times.
The boy shook his head.
ooh, yes" insisted the major. Both
are your sisters; each is your sister,
NO insisted the boy; both is my
sister"
How do you make that out, sir?
said the major, with dignity.
Each is my half-sister, and two
halves make one, don't they?"
Whereupon they all ran away and
the major stood rubbing his chin in
much perpleXity.

COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.

The statistics furnished by Henry G.
| Hester. superintendent of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange. in his annual
report show that there is a steady in
crease in the number OF cotton mills in
the South, and of course in the con-
sumption of cotton. The consumption
last year-that is the year ending Aug.
81 last-would have been 100000 to 150,-
GOO bales greater had conditions been
normal, that is if the mills had been
able to get cotton at a price that would
have left them a margin of profit. AS
it was, the number Of bales consumed
by them was 1000, 729. That was 81, 1853
bales more than they consumed the
previous year. and 379,79S more than
they consumed the year before that.
The foregoing of course refers only
to American cotton. Southern mills
used considerable Egyptian cotton,
little over 1900 bales, so that their to-
tai consumption for the year was 2,0l4,
5S7 bales. During the same period the
mills of the North consumed 1867, 635
bales of American cotton and 13O,S74 of
Egyptian, making a total of 2,O9S, 900
bales, a few bales more than were con-
sumed in the South.
But the increase in consumption in
the South is best shown by comparing
the consumption Of last year with that
for the year ending August 81. 1890, In
that year the Southern consumption
was 540.S94, an increase in thirteen
years Of nearly 100000 bales, or, as
MIR. Hester puts it. thirteen years ago
the North took 76.7 per cent. of the
cotton crop and the South 23.3 per cent.
To-day the percentages are: North
1855 and the South 50.l2."
The number of cotton mills in the
South has been increasing right along.
The total number last year was 740 as
against tic the year before and 6SS the
year before that.
The number Of bales consumed in
South Cardinals mills last year was
greater than that consumed in the mills
of any other Southern state, being 613,-
275 bales North Carolina came next
with 551,S02 bales. and Georgia third
with 1859 bales. Alabama consumed
211S04 bales, but in no other Southern
state did consumption reach $4,000
bales
At the rate at which the South is
forging ahead in cotton manufacturing
it will not be many years before she
viii be manufacturing the bulk Of her
cotton crop. There is no doubt that
she can manufacture cheaper than can
the North or any foreign country. II
that her cotton manufacturing industry
is having q marvellous development.

been accustomed for many years. Eu-
ropean merchants and manufacturers
suit them in the matter of pack
ing and credits much better than our
merchants and manufacturers do, and,
therefore, the bulk of the trade goes
to Europe. If Secretary Shaw had
studied the subject carefully, he would
have had no reason for appearing be-
fore the public as an advocate of more
ships between our ports and those of
South America.

Once on time David Gallas of Har-

M. Depew make an after-dinner speech.
Having retentive memory Calais
stored away all of the Senator's bright
and beautiful witticisms, to be used at
future day. A year ago Calais fell
into the hands of secret service men,
on the charge of making "moonshine"
whisky, and was sent to the peniten-
tiary. In prison his health was i'm
paired and he was sent to the hospital.
He struck up an acquaintance with
the prison physician and at length
sprung one of his treasured Depew
jokes on him. The doctor glared at
him in wide-eyed establishment. Let
me see your tongue" he demanded.
Then he felt the mans pulse, listened
to the beating of his heart and pound
ed him over the kidneys. Mad as a
March hare" was his only comment,
and he ordered Calais into the insane
ward. A few days later the doctor
visited Calais in the insane ward, when
the luckless man tried another Depew
joke on him. The doctor Immediately
had him strapped in a straight jacket
and sent to the government asylum for
the insane in Washington. Last week
Calais was discharged and sent home.
He Will tell no more Depew jokes, he

which will shortly be embodied in gen.

baggage which officers may have trans

old amounts permitted are just about
multiplied by three. The new schedule
IS as follows: For major general, TO-

pounds; field officer, 1920 pounds; cap
tain, 5000 pounds; first lieutenant, 5.1Oo
