Cotton Mill Loss.

Spartanburg, June 23.--Thc dircc-
tors Of the Clifton mills have issued a
circular TO the stockholders setting
forth the losses and present condition
at these mill towns in concise, acou-
rate manner. The loss on mills Nos.
l and 2 is estimated at 100000, and
when these factories are again put in
shape for operation, the company will
have 500 spindles and necessary
loom accompaniment at work. At
Mill No. 2 four warehouses, along
with 1874 bales OF cotton were total
ly destroyed Sixty cottages and a
number of lives were also lost at this
mill. An inspection Of the property
Of the Clifton company entire, on
Pacolet river as it now stands, places
an estimate Of its value at 81 600, 600
by the directors. This will proyeca
solid basis on which to reestablish the
mills. About 5000 bales of cotton
were also saved from the food and no
manufactured goods lost; SO with
quick assets in hand to convert into
cash, an amount more than sufficient
to cover all Indebtedness is realized.
At a recent meeting of the direc-
tors of the D. E. Converse Co.-thc
Glendale mills-the coming semi-a
nual dividend due on July 1, was re-.
scinded. The loss at Glendale Nos.
and 2, is estimated at from $50, 900 to
$65, 900. The capital stock is $780,
600, which will be increaseds to $780,
600 in July.
A meeting Of the central relief COM
mittee was held this morning at which
reports from subcommittee at the
Cliftons and at Pacolet were heard,
and various matters discussed. There
are number Of sick people at Clifton
who are being CARED for by the COM
mittee, through the sub committees.
A number Of food sufferers in the
county have been aided by the com-
mittee. At Pacolet mills the COM
pany aud the sub-committees have
taken the matter Of caring for the de-
serving in hand, with knowledge of
the amount Of the relief fund, aud
they have, as yet, made no report. AS
near as practicable in the future the
central relief committee aims to have
an itemized statement published Of all
moneys received aud disbursed.

Cotton and the Negro.

New Orleans, La, juno 26.-.The
Chronicle says: SIT is notorious
that nearly all the cotton is the pro-
duct Of negro labor now, as it was in
the days of slavery. If it is true,
then, as the Southern whites allege,
that tho employment Of negroes are
now more diversified than they for
merly were, the inference regarding
their comparative efficiency as free
men is Obvious
The Chronicle is wrong in it's facts
and mistsken in it's conclusion, as you
will find, if you turn to the United
States census OF inquire Of the United
States department Of agriculture.
The biggest cotton producing coun-
ty Of the South is Williamson County,
Texas, which produced 89,237 bales,
according to the census. Its popula-
sioa is SO, So T56 s56 white aud 1852 me-
groes. The negroes constitute only 15
per cent Of its farm lkbor and raise less
than 16per cent Of the oottoo. The aec-
ond biggest cotton producer is Ellis
County, also in Texas. with 6,639
beles; population, AZ, ,216 whites, 4 ,841
negroes. The negroes furnish 12 per
cent Of the farm labor and about the
same percentage of the cotton crop.
And 30 on down the list.
Of the nineteen biggest cotton
Counties in the South sixteen are
overwhelmingly white aud nearly all
the farm work is done by whites.
This tendency has been marked for
years aud the production Of cotton in
most of the Southern States is shift
ing away from the black belt to the
white sections.
| The increase in the cotton produc-
tion Of the South in the last Two de-
cades is due mainly to tho labor OF
the whites. The crop Of ante bellum
days was the product almost wholly
of negro labor. The ChronielA is
mistaken in supposing this to be the
case today. The negro Counties gem
orally produce less cotton than in
slavery days.-Chicago Chronicle.

$145, 900, 900 Worth OF Eggs.

George Fayette Thompson, Of the
Agricultural department, has written
treatise upon the modern hen which
contains information Of interest. In
the first place Mr.. Thompson declares
that the average get.rich-quick con-.
Germ stands in about the same relation
to an up-to date hen as does an ice
wagon to an automobile. AS rapid
accumulator OF financial resources the
hen is in the same class as oil wells
and gold mines. The thoroughly
modern hen no longer wastes her time
hatohing eggs. She leaves that work
entirely to the incubator, while she
devotes the time thus gained to the.
more profitable labor Of producing
eggs.
Consequently, Prof. Thompson has
discovered that there is proportion
ateiy smaller number Of fowls, but by
the adoption Of labor and time saving
machines the lesser number has been
able to produce constantly increas-.
ing output Of eggs. The treatise con-
tains 80 much interesting information
about the hen and her product that
Secretary Wilson has determined to
incorporate it.in the forthcoming year
book OF the department Of agriculture.
Prof. Thompson, who is also q sta
tistician of reputation, has discovered
that in the city Of New York each
family Of Eve persons consumes on an
average four eggs day. In Chicago,
il it is accepted that the city has
reached a population Of 2, 1000, 600, the
ratio of egg consuming is higher end
every person in the city manages to
consume on>Nwhole egg each day in
the year. as
The production Of poultry and eggs
is the most profitable Of allindustries.
Mr.. Thompson estimates that thor
oughly modernized h5n can realize 400
per cent. profit for her owner. In
thirty-three states and territories The
value of eggs exceeds the value of the
poultry product. The egg product in
the United States amounts to more;
when measured by dollars and cents,
than the combined gold and ailger pro-
duction. This does not take the panl-
try into account at all.
The value of the combined poultry
and egg product would be nearly dop,
Bile that Of the precious metals. The
value bf the industryissjust six times

Beyond Endurance.

An Engishman, walking down o
London street, met another, to
whom he said:
"Sir, but three days ago you slap
ped my face. Yesterday you caned
me in the street and spat in my face.
Only last night you pulled my nose
and thrashed me IN ballroom in
the presence Of ladies. Now, sir,
wish to say that if this thing contin-
ues much longer you will arouse The

Ono Way to SURROGATE q Frog.

A frog cannot breathe with his
mouth open. The conformation Of
his breathing apparatus is such that
when his mouth is open his nostrils
will be closed, and, paradoxical as
it may seem, all you have to do to
suffocate frog is to put stick in
his mouth 70 he cannot shut his
jaws. 1t is a strange phenomenon,
probably unparalleled in animal his
tory, but nevertheless any one who
pleases may make the experiment,
though it certainly will be disas-
trcus to the frog.

THE KING
LOST HIS TITLE
THE KAPIOLANI ESTATE LOSSES
A SUIT FOR SOME VALUABLE
LANDS.

The Supreme court yesterday re-
versed the first circuit court in the case
of the Kapiolani Estate against the
Kaneohe Ranch Company and YIN
Quon, adhering to a former decision in
the case of the same plaintiff against
Cleghorn, in which the court overruled
a plea that the statute of limitations
could not run against the king. The
land involved in the Kaneohe ranch
case is valuable rice land, for which a
suit was brought in ejectment, defend
ants claiming title by adverse possess
sion. The plaintiffs claimed title
through Kalakaua, and their main con-
tention was that the adverse posses
sion could not run against the monarch
The court was asked to take up again
the Cleghorn decision, but the decision
written by Galbraith, declares that the
matter was thoroughly gone into in the
former case, and that it appears that
a reconsideration would only result in
the same ruling.

LONG JOURNEY
FOR A SHORT JOB
w. E. ESTES COMES 5000 MILES TO
DO HALF AN HOURS WORK AT
THE POST OFFICE.

w. f. Estes came 5000 miles to set
up machine to cancel stamps at the
post office. He did the work in about
half an hour and yesterday went back
no the mainland
1t is Mr.. Estes business to do just
such things as that. He is special
agent and inspector of cancellng ma
chimes for the post Office department.
He is an expert. He knows all about
all the different kinds of stamp can
ceiling machines used in the various
post offices of the United States. When
a new one is to be installed, he is sent
to install it, not that some one in the
Office where it is to be used may not
be able to install it, but because it is
certain that he can, and then the de-
partment knows the machine is proper
ly put together and adjusted so as to
do its work the best it is capable of.
Mr. Estes came here on the Alameda
last Friday and departed by the Ala
media yesterday. While he was here
he instructed Louis Kenake in the me-
chanism of the machine so that Mr..
Kenake can set up a machine of that
kind now, or put one IN order If it
should get out of order.
The machine itself is a very interest

ing one, and does its work very hand
somely. 1t consists essentially of a
small steel table near the center Of
which is a disk revolving in a horizon
tai plane. on the periphery of this
disk is the post marking and cancelling
die. Revolving in the same plane as
this disk is a larger one, against the
periphery of which, when the machine
is in operation, the letters to be post
marked are placed in bundles. The re-
Nolution of this disk or wheel brings
each Letter in succession between 1t and
the disk on the periphery of which Is
the stamping die. Thus each letter in
succession receives the postmark and
ar lie same time the stamps are can
celled,
OF course this description does not
include every part of the mechanism; 1t
includes only the primary parts. In ad-
dtion there are mechanisms to adjust
the primary mechanism to varying
thickness of letters and to make each ac-
ton positive. Then of course there Is
an mixing apparatus. The machine is
worked by a handle on the large disk
or wheel. Each revolution of this
wheel stamps three letters so that the
speed of the machine is determined by
the rate at which the operator turns
the wheel, though a moderate rate is
two hundred letters a minute and an
effective rate is $50 letters a minute.
The machine can be used to mark the
time of the receipt of letters from other
post offices by simply changing the die
a change that can be made in half n
minute. The machine is now in use
regularly in The post office.

 Willingmeyer is said to have set his dog upon some boys who were teasing him. A crowd gathered and taunted him. Finally he fired his gun and a dozen men and women were wounded in the legs by the pellets. No one was dangerously hurt, but the crowd took after WilIingmeyer and chased him to a swamp outside the city. He found an old wagon mired there and with his dog held the fort against the police and a thousand angry men who hoped to starve him out. Fires were built around the morass and a cordon was formed, but Willingmeyer managed to elude the watchers and escaped on 2 train

WHAT BULGARIA WANTS.
Note Which Has Just Been Pre-

It Says the Turkish Government is

 CTS That if They Do Not Act it Will
 Be Obliged to Take Necessary Steps
 for its-Own Safety.
 Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept 15.-Following are some of the points in the note which Bulgaria has just presented to the powers:
 What the Bulgarian government had foreseeny as expressed in it's note of June %, of the development, of af- fairs in Turkey has become amply verified The Turkish government is systematically annhnating the Bul garian people.
 ssThe mobilization and concentration and such great forces and European Turkey under the pretext of suppress sing the revolution, gives Bulgaria reason to suppose that at an. opportune moment she will be attacked by Fur key.
 '3The Bulgarian government can no longer remain indifferent to the pres ence of such a situation, which is of a nature calculated to bring about a hostile collision between Turkey and Bulgaria.
 eff the great powers do not take measures to give the sublime porte councils of wisdom and moderation the Bulgarian government will be obliged to take the necessary steps to ha rnaf}y for every eyentuaIity and to not be taken by surprise"
