Southern Knitting Mills.

AS an incident of its cotton-spinning
industry the south is not neglecting
the opportunity to turn raw cotton in
to hosiery and underwear. All told
there are 153 knitting mills in the
south, in which 81, 112, 450 has been in
vested. These mills give employment
to $500 operatives.
North Carolina has. 81 knitting mills,
Georgia, "a; Tennessee, %; Virginia,
II; South Carolina, 15; Alabama, s.;
West Virginia, Kentucky and Texas
each 3; Mississippi, 2, and Louisiana
has but one mill. Maryland has 4
mills. These mills knit all kinds of
hosiery, ribbed vests and other gar
ments of underwear for women fleece
lined underwear and various other
articles of underwear for all persons.
The so~uthern-knit goods industry is in
its infancy, and it is believed the knit
goods merchants of the north will yet
turn to the south for supplies. Many of
the southern mills now market their
products in New York and other north
ern cities. Some Of them have Offices
and sales agents in those cities.

Mr.. Horace King was displaying a
magnificent, heavily brass-mounted
and engraved dog collar today, that he
had just received as a present and Of
which he was very appreciative. The
inscription on the brass plate reads:
Ben Tillman-Presented to Horace
King by the Durham Hose Reel Com

the collar is for Mr.. Kings popular bull
dog Ben Tillman, who is at present

POOR WATER SUPPLY.
For Both Man and BedSt-It Should
Have Attention.

There is considerable complaint
among the country people about con-
veniences in the city for watering stock.
There are very few public pumps in
the city, the most OF them having been
done away with on account of the pub
lie water fountains, and the majority of
thees are not located where they are
one or two of these are out of fix most
of the time.
The fountain at the Palace Drug store
corner, where there was formerly a
good well of drinking water, and a
convenient watering place for stock,
has not been in operation for months,
and besides this the fountain has been
allowed to stand full Of stagnant water
until it is nearly green, and is not only
a mosquito breeder, but has the APP
pearance of being a menace to health.
This fountain could be put i'll operation
at a very small cost and it certainly
should have attention at once, and we
trust the street committee will give the
matter the attention it deserves.
In order to attract and induce people
to come to Goldsboro to sell their pro
duce and purchase their supplies, We
must throw every possible convenience
around them and try as best we can tt
make their stay here pleasant and
agreeable, and certainly should they
and their stock not be allowed to suffer
for water which is free for all.
There is not a single place, in GU
knowledge, near the central part of the
city, barring the court house well
where & visitor to the city can get a coo
drink of water, Had you ever though
of it?

Good Driving Roads.
of it?

The National Good Roads Associa-
ton is still organizing subsidiary as
sociations in every part of the coun-
try, Some states have at least in
every county. III this way the public
is educated and a public sentiment
created in favor CT building and main
tanning solid, smooth and enduring
and the buggy.
The money value of good roads to
the farmer is imperfectly understood
The tax imposed on the farmers of
this State by poor roads far outruns
the taxes paid for all other purposes.
Poor roads are not only expensive in
money, but they restrict the freedom
of the people in their social and edu-
cational efforts. In every way they
are a h~indrance, a clog and a burden.
The good roads associations aim to
show how good roads can be built.
They hope to lead the people on to the
building of good roads until the cOun-
try becomes a network of them, and
even then we will not be a bit ahead OF
the Romans and Carthagenians. Other
countries have poor roads, but we must
go to backward Russia Of to migovern-
ed Turkey to find roads poorer thar
the average highway of the United
States. Our rural roads remain as bot
tomless in stormy weather as they
were at the outset, and this is why al
should join q good roads association
and help on the movement which is
now hopefully begun-which means
much to the country both in money
and cOntentInent.

kURA
COTTON Sc AS FOOD.

If the southern people would over
come their foolish preiudices against
the use in the kitchen of cottonseed oil
and meal when freed from all odor and
all impurities, a greater value would
be given to the cotton crop, and the
3 600 900 barrels of oil pro-
duced each year would be greatly en-
HANGED. When the south accepts cot
tonseed oil in foods, all the rest Of the
world would follow suit, and the foul
stuffs from cholera infested hogs, that
are slaughtered in Chicago, would be
rejected.
Cottonseed oil is not only the most
wholesome of all cooking fats, but it is
going in increasing proportions into
"olive' oil. Cottonseed meal is now
used in making corn and f1Ourm mullins,
biscuits, pancakes, gingerbread, dark
graham bread, and cakes of all kinds.
Before the cotton seed crushers'conven-
ton recently held in Atlanta Prof. j.
II. Cornell of Texas, presented the sub
ject in the shape of biscuits and cakes
made from a combination Of
meal and whea flour. His biscuits and
cakes were pronounced as delegate
and appetizing as any that ever came
from the flour barrel.
At present about $500, 600 ton of
seed are crushed a year, bringing to
planters about S75, OOO, 900, but these
figures would be doubled if the south
ern people would themselves accept
as food meal and oil that they know
are wholesome vegetable products. No
germ can pass alive through theb boilers
in which seed is prepared for crushing.
