The following IS from a recent Is

band there is nothing the matter with
The present." declared E. B. Wilbur,
superintendent Of the Mollohon
Manufacturing Company, Newberry,
S. c., to-day, at the Crown Hotel,
where he is the guest for few days.
Mills, the shares in which sell at 100,
are netting 25 to 40 per cent. year
and devoting the surplus to improve
ments, he said.
Mr.. Wilbur is accompanied by Il
c. Ray Of Collins & Co., New York
commission merchants. representing
Aboth Southern and Northern cotton
mills. The two visitors have visited
several Of the bleaching and finishing
plants in Providence and vicinity
since coming here. All the goods
made by Mr.. Wilbur's concern are
bleaebed and finished in Providence
' plants and shipped hence to the mar
ket.
Mr.. Wilbur says that he does not
see much prospect Of the South I'm
ishing its own cotton mill products.
So far bleaching plants have failed
in the South, owing to the conditions
Of the water supply. The abundance
of clean water available to the bleach
cries here, he says, has not been found
in his section. "Possibly," he adds,
"artesian wells may some time I'LL
the need in our section, but l am not
sanguine. A great deal Of money
has been spent, as for example, at
Augusta, Ca, in establishing bleach
cries, but they are failures. Our
goods, largely shirtings, all come to
Providence for the final processes.

is a. Maine man, who has been IN the

Passing Of the Old Black NANNY.

In the passing Of the old black
NANNY one of the most loyal and
unique types Of character which the
ante-bellum days produced on the
Southern plantation has commenced
to fade in the dim retrospect OF the
years.
To the present generation of young
sters this peculiar product of the old
South in unknown. So much worse

childhood's best friend in the old
DAYS which will come no more.
But no higher eulogium was ever

Henry Grady at the Boston banquet
IN 1889; and at the present time,
when 50 much is being said OF the
South's hostility toward the negro,
it will be we'll to reproduce this ut
