PROVED A FAILURE.

There are those OF our readers who
will recall the presence in Henderson
some years ago of Warren Coleman,
an intelligent and well-to-do colored
man of Concord, n C., who was raising
money with which to establish cot
ton mill to be owned and operated
exclusively by negroes He was aided
in his efforts by many white people
and the mill was finally built and put
in operation. The venture has not
been successful The Raleigh Times
makes this comment:
The only cotton mill ever operated
in the State or in the South by he
grOes is now in the hands of a re-
ceiver. This mill was built at Con-
cord some years ago. Some people
in the State have watched the pro-
gress of this enterprise to see whether
negroes were really capable of con-
Quoting such a business. 1t seems
they are not. They have had the
best years in which to try the expert
ment. Other cotton mills in Concord
have piled up profits during the years
in which this one has been making
for the hands of a receiver. The
truth is the negro is not yet ready
for work Of this sort. He may be
some time, but it's not now. He can
cultivate the cotton in the field, pick
it out and carry it to the gin. and
this is the extent Of his capabilities
as yet. 1t requires now the best bus
mess ability to conduct successfully
the cotton mill business. The ma
chinery has become more delicate and
complicated, labor more transient
and uncertain, and then, after the
product is manufactured. it requires
real up-to-date skill and experience
to market the goods at a profit.
When these things are taken into the
account, and the further fact that
the best talent of the Anglo-Saxon is
engaged in this business, it will not
be surprising that the negroes Of
Concord have proven unequal to the
business.
LAST week Judge Purnell appointed
Thos. d. Meares, of Wilmington, re-
ceiver of the Atlantic & North Caro-
lima Railroad, later naming V. E. Nc
Bee as cO-receiver The matter was
taken before Chief Justice Fuller, of
the United States Supreme Court,
and an order was made suspending
the receivership until the further
order of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. This reversal of
Judge Purnell's order appointing a
receiver leaves the road in the hands
of the State as before, bond being re-
Quired in the sum of $4,000.

Evils of Eating Alone

There are some few happily dispos-
ed individuals, says the London Ian.
Get, who can dine alone, and not eat
too fast, nor too much, nor too little.
With the majority It is different.
The average man puts his novel or
his paper before him, and thinks that
he will lengthen out the meal with
due elaboration by reading a little
with. and more between, the courses.
He will just employ his mind enough
to help, and too little to interfere with
indigestion. In fact, he will provide
that gentle mental accomplishment
which with happier people conversa-
ton gives to meal. This is your soli-
tary's excellent idea. In reality he
becomes engrossed in what he is
reading till, suddenly finding his chop
cold, he demolishes it in. a few mouth
fuls; or else he finds that he is hun.

book, which he filings aside he rushes
through his food as fast as possible,

Grow Acres of Roses

In the minds of many people

perfume. altar of roses, conjures up
thoughts of far-away Turkey and the
orient AS a matter of fact, however,
1t is In La Belle France that one finds
the rose gardens of the world whence

lightful odor.
These extensive flower gardens are
situated on the southern slopes of the
maritime range of the Alps bordering
on the beautiful blue Mediterranean
in the vicinity of Nice. AS no rain
falls here from March till September
the climate is admirably adapted to
the industry. For miles and miles
nothing can be seen except a vista of

tage. For due and easy nutrition
food should be taken slowly and the
mind should not be intensely exercis-
ed during the process.
Every one knows that violent bodily
exercise is bad Just after a meal, and
mental exertion is equally so. Wise
people do not eyen argue during or
just after dinner. and observation OF
afterdinner speakers neither endure
themselves nor excite in their hear
ers any severe intellectual effort. In
fact, the experience of countless gen
erations, from the red Indian OF the
woods to the white.shirted diners OF a
modern party, has prepetuated the
lesson that man should not eat
alone, nor think much 1t this time.
but should talk and be talked to while
he feeds. Most people do not think
much when they talk. and talking is
natural accompaniment of eating and
and drinking. How does 1t fare with
the many solitary women of today?
No better we know than with the
men, but differently. Alone or not, a
man may generally be trusted at any
time to take food enough.

ers who sell the flowers by the pound
to the manufacturers.
About 1000 plants are required to
each acre In the rose gardens and
these yield about $4,000 pounds Of
roses. The gardens require a sunny
slope and much irrigation. The
bushes are cut down to the ground
each year and the plants attain an
enormous age. The flowers are picked
each morning while the dew Is on
them, because It is then that they re-
tain their perfume.
During the blossoming season many
tons of roses are taken to the factories
in great baskets. where they are
dumped into big copper stills which
hold half a barrel of water each.
Then comes the distil1ing process

Very many wealthy men of the

the pleasures that their hounds and

The Rock Ridge pack is made up of
English and American bred beagles,

HOW RUSSIANS SNATCH
VICTORY FROM DEFEAT.

st. Petersburg. June H.-Military
circles here do not view the battle of
Vafangow as a defeat, and they con-
tend that Gen. Baron Stakelberg, un-
like Lieut.. Gen. Zassalitch, won more
than he lost.
Whether or not Gen. Stakelberg's ex-
petition to the south had an imn1e-
iiate bearing on the situation at Port
Arthur it is considered here as I'M
questionable that his presence has
caused a diversion which will material
ly affect the Japanese operations in
the southern part of the Lao Tung
peninsula. 1t is pointed out that the
force engaged at Vafangow must re
cuperate for several days, and It is
expected that the fight will materially
retard the siege operations against
Port Arthur.

ON STATE OF TRADE.

New York, June 17-Bradstreet's. re-
viewing the state of trade tomorrow.
will say:
Favorable features this week will be
the further improvement shown in
leading crops and the ending of the
tie-up on the Great Lakes. Wheat,
oats and cotton have improved, but
corn is still backward, owing to the
cool weather. General trade and in
dustry have remained quiet, and may
be said to have marked time.
The underlying feature of the entire
situation is the feeling that with an
average crop Of wheat and large yields
of the other cereals and of cotton now
in prospect, a good fall and winter
business is to be looked for. Railway
earnings reflect current quietness in
business, and the decreases of 3-5 per
cent. of gross in May and of s per
cent. in April net indicated last week,
are confirmed by fuller details
Reports as to the cotton crop are al
most universally favorable, the only
exception being noted in Arkansas,
where a heavy reduction is probable,
because of overlooked lands. The
Texas crop is growing finely, first bales
being reported nearly a month ahead
of the usual time. The crop in the
Lower Mississippi valley is making
good progress and in Georgia and Ala
bama is reported growing finely.
