RALEIGH. N. c., May 1O.-The state
Hospital Commission adjourned to-
night to meet in Charlotte May 30th,
after rounding up quite. a good deal
OF important business during the last
hour OF the days session. The COM
mission decided to take steps at once
for the erection of buildings on the
Grimes tract of land recently pur-
chased adjacent to the lands Of the
State Hospital here, adequate for the
accommodation Of nll the white epllep-
ties in the state, estimated to be be-
tween three and four hundred; also
to provide additional buildings at the
hospital at Goldsboro for the colored
epileptics on lands that will be pur-
chased there.
The commission designated DIR. j. w.
Mcneil, of Hope Mills, as a committee
on the part of the commission to
epilcptics in other States and investi-
gate the character of buildings and
treatment best adapted. and asked the
Governor to send along with him the
superintendent Of each OF tho three
hospitals In this State that they may
constitute a committee to report to the
comrnis sion.
Other Cases of Insane.
The commission decided to enlarge
the laundry building at Morganton
Hospital and procure plans for the
establishment Of a colony there for
treatment of certain classes Of insane,
additional lands to be purchased In
this connection. It was also decided
to have plans prepared for a new
storage room and hospital shops for
the hospital here The commission dis
cussed, but did not decide as to pro-
yiiing brlck-making plant on the
Grimes tract8here to make brick for
the buildings the commission con-
templates erecting here.

tions, and for this reason the occasion
has come by custom, to carry wider
range Of license, probably than any
other holiday.
The highest and purest conception Of
Christmas is that to be drawn from
the name identifying the day-"Christ'-
mass" a celebration of Christ. There
are those who find pleasure, satisfac-
ton and comfort in keeping the day
holy to the divine personality to which
it was originally set apart, and while
these constitute only small minority
of those who observe the day, 1t Is
probably fact that except for them the
day would have long since been for
gotten-buried in the ages Of the past.
The most characteristic observance
of Christmas not only In America, but
throughout the world, probably, is that
which gives license to drunkenness and
abandon, physical pleasure Of whatever
kind In this. of course, there is moth
ing for commentator, nothing to
sanction or warrant the preservation
of the day as holiday; but since these
things have been characteristic Of the
day for so long, there is need to try to
deny that they are as completely iden-
titled as are the more commendable
features of Christmas, and as long as
Christmas lasts, no doubt, they will
have their place.
Those who would seek only the best
that Christmas offers them. will find
1t in the Peace on earth, good will to
men" of the natal day. The greatest
happiness that Christmas affords Is not
in trying to get pleasure for ones self;
but in trying to give pleasure to 9TH
ers. This after all is the keynote, the
real foundation Of this occasion, and
every man, every woman, every boy,
every girl, who tries for Christmas
pleasure along this basis, will not only
find that pleasure in measure sufficient
for the day; but the secret Of a splen-
did rule by which to live during the
future.

TILI4MAN AFTER RAuLRoADs.-Sen-
atOr TilHman introduced a resolution
last Wednesday demanding that the
interstate commerce commission inVes-
tigate how much stock of corporations
interested In interstate commerceis held
by interstate carriers. The resolution
is aimed at the Canadian Pacific, of
whom reports that 1t holds stock of
United States roads have reached Sen
ator Tillmen.
The introduction of the resolution
was the signal for a tilt with Senator
Aldrich, who wanted it referred to the
interstate commerce committee. that
the amount of time to be consumed in
gathering the information might be
ascertained.
Senator Tillman remarked that the
senator from Rhode Island seemed
suspicious.
II am always more or less suspicious
of q resolution coming from the sena-
tor from South Carolina" retorted
Senator Aldrich.
Because he wants TO get facts ?'
asked Senator Tillman.
NO" replied Ser ator Aldrich, be
cause he may want to get facts fitting
into a preconceived idea of what
should be done"
Senator Aldrich insisted upon his
objection. 50 consideration was post
poned. This action has the effect OF
deferring it until after the holidays.

CUT OF NORTHERN MILLS.
They Will Reduce Production BY at
Least One Fourth.

The following article from Boston
appeared in a recent issue Of the New
York Tribune and is reproduced as
being of interest to southern cotton
mill men:
"A general curtailment Of produc-
ton in New England cotton mills dur
ing January and February Is regard
ed as a certainty in mill circles here.
The product probably will be reduced
25 per cent in practically all Of the
mills Many Of them, under the pres
ent plan, will be operated only four
days a week between January 1st and
March 1st, and others, while running
six days weekly, may stop a quarter
of the machinery, II that policy Is ad-
visable, where there are contracts to
be filled before March.
THE movement to curtail produc-
ton originated in New York commits
sion houses and was endorsed by GER
tain New Bedford manufacturers Of
fine goods. The Fall River print cloth
manufacturers as rule were opposed
to any plan which would force them to
to hold the umbrella for the rest Of
New England, but many of them ap-
peared to be willing to cooperate with
the outside mills, providing they were
permitted to fill standing contracts.
1T was said tonight that all but
two Of the New Bedford corporations
had agreed to the curtailments plan,
and that mills In Manchester. N. H,
and Lowell had acquiesced In the ar
rangement. ~
"The curtailment probably VIII af-
feet at least 100000 operatives"

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The streets of Yorkville were liter
ally thronged with people last Satur-
day. 1t was like circus day, and 1t
was not on account of the carnival
either. The people were here to buy
goods and almost every store was
crowded. There were times when the
town people found 1t difficult to get
waited on, the clerks generally being
disposed to give the preference to peo-
pie from the country. The aggregate
sales of the day must have footed up
thousands of dollars.
- The knife and cane rack people
with the Johnny J. Jones shows ran
upon a Tartar last week in the person
of Mr.. Henry Summit, clerk at the
C. & NV depot. Mr.. Summit Is
an expert in the ring pitching business.
He would buy eleven rings for a dime
and would frequently take from to s
canes or knives with the eleven rings.
The proprietors of the racks dreaded
to see him come about and at last some
of them got to the point where they
would not let him pitch. This was not,
however, until Mr.. Summit had car
ried away something like a peck Of
knives

of the origin and character of this

the subject has been discussed and

to say anything new now is next to i'm

even desirable.
Of all the holidays known to Chris

most universal, and although the hol-

uals, there is no other holiday that
more certainly means something to ev-

cially to all children everywhere.
To the vast majority Of people,
Christmas is merely a season of in

CARNIVAL AFTERMATH.

The Johnny J. Jones Exposition
shows which held forth in the Bell lot
on South Congress street last week
began pulling up stakes on Saturday
night, and shortly after IL o'clock Sun
day night pulled out on a special train
for Laurens.
All of the shows left on the special
except the "Old Plantation outfit" and
fixtures of the special feature attrac-
tiOn-the spiral tower arrangement. The
old plantation was attached for debt;
but the spiral tower was left standing
for the reason that the engagement OF
the monocycle rider came to an end at
this place and he had arranged to go
to Florida direct by another route
It seems that the "old plantation"
had been in trouble for some time.
The show had gotten behind at Camden
and the management Of the aggrega-
ton had advanced fifty dollars to help
1t out Of the hole" 1t played in hard
luck here all the week, taking In only
from Sc or So to $50 a day, and on
Friday night the manager hiked out
with all the cash receipts, leaving vari-
GUS expenses unpaid and his negroes
two weeks wages short. The negroes
were unable to pay their board bill and
the local negro with whom they board
ed, made arrangements to attach the
outfit for the debt. 1t was stated yes
terday that there would be somebody
here today to straighten matters up.
An attachment was run on the mer-
ry-go-round a few days ago too. On
the merry -go-round there is a revolv-
ing contrivance called "the tub" and
it is everywhere popular with the ne
groes. When the shows were in Rock
Hill a negro was hurt in "the tub" and
he began proceedings for 800 dam
ages. After the service Of the attach
ment papers the case was compro-
missed for something less than $50.
1t is no secret that the Exposition
shows played in hard luck here. One
CT the managers said that things have
been in a bad way since the currency
stringency. The people have been
more conservative about throwing
away their money. Many people who
would have otherwise gone to the
shows and spent lots Of money remain
ed away entirely, and others were more
careful as to what they did with their
loose change. But altogether the shows
made enough money to pay expenses
and that they carried a snug sum on
with them there Is no reason to doubt.
In consideration Of certain things to
be done on its part, the Jasper Light
Infantry was to get a percentage Of
the gross receipts, and the portion that
went to the company netted something
less than $50.
There were a number Of arrests on
the grounds and on account Of the car
nival during the week, but taken alto
gether, the whole occasion was orderly
enough and quite creditable to the
community.
