COMMITTEE GIVEN
POWER TO ACCEPT.

The board of trustees of Richmond
College met yesterday and finally put
into the hands of committee the right
TO acquire the property at Westhamp-
ton Park, which is being considered as
new site for the institution, If the
terms and conditions offered are in
every way satisfactory. This does not
mean. however that the trustees are
obligated to take over the grant of
land from the two syndicates. but indi-
Gates that negotiations are still going
on. and will be contaminated one way
or. the other in the very near future.

Element, it is explained, is the fact that
the ground. which Includes 100 acres
on either side of the lake, and the lake
itself, has never been surveyed until
the present time, and the result of this
survey will not be known until the
engineers have had time to figure out
their reports. The names of those
making the gift are with
held. although 1t is understood that
John Landstreet and Julien Gum are
figuring in the negotiations for the
donors.
The committee appointed to contract
with the syndicate offering the land is
composed of i. Taylor Ellyson, presi-
dent OF the board of trustees; r. w.

Such, too, is especially demanded in
a nation where the citizens response

NEW STEAMBOAT ANNOUNCE
MENT.

There is something almost startling
and certainly interesting in an an
nouncement printed in the New Or
leans papers to the effect that by the
early days of next year the Mississip-
pi Valley transportation Company will
have 2 steamboat plying in the trade
between New Orleans and st. Louis,
at rates that will meet those of the
railroads.
Of course it is expected that the rail
roads will repeat their old game of re-
ducing their rates until they drive the
boats from the river, but they will
find chat the situation is different
from what it was when the game of the
railroads was always successful.
In the new railroad law soon to 60
into operation, congress wrote the fol
lowing language: "Whenever a car
rier shall, in competition with a water
route or routes, reduce the rates oE
the carriage Of any species of freight
TO or from competitive points, it sholl
not be permitted to increase such rates
unless, after hearing by the Inter
state Commerce commission, it shall
be found that such proposal in
crease rests upon changed conditions
other than the elimination of water
compctition.'
1t also authorized the commission to
make through rates to apply to rail
roads and water transportation lines.
The law also allows a shipper to desig-
nate to which of competing lines his
goods shall be delivered by the ear
rier to which he gives his freight. For
instance, if there were freight boats
on the Mississippi river plying between
New Orleans and st. Louis, a shipper
along the line of the Yazoo & Missis-
sippl Valley railroad could compel that
road to deliver his goods to a boat
at Baton Rouge, instead of allowing
that road to give it to the Illinois
Central at whatever point it preferred
to make the transfer.
This changes the situation most de
cide lily, and it may work a great ad-
vantage to the steamboats,, provided
they use all modern and necessary i'm
provements in construction and econ
omies in handling.

SUCCESSFUL COTTON MILLS.

There was a time when it was a COM
mon saying that cotton mill could
not be success in the South. OF
coudse there was no logic in the state
ment, but at the time actual expert
ence seemed to verify it. Numerous
were the mills started, and numerous
were the failures. The people became
discouraged, and it was generally con
ceded that the manufacture of cot
ton goods must be left to the smart
Yankees of rocky New England As
a result of this general belief there
was a long period during which prac-
ticallv no cotton mills were erected in
the South. g
But matters have changed greatly
of North Carolina are now on sub
stantial basis and are paying handsome
dividends on the invested capital.
Their success. was at first attri buted to
the. fact that North Carolina possesses
large population Of. poor white peo-
pie. But in the last few years there
has been a large increase IN the cotton
mill business in South Carolina, one of
the decidedly black. states of the I'm
ion At present, South Carolina has
moreespindles than any other state in
the South, and new mills are being
erected every month And the most
encouraging feature of the situation
lies in the fact that the capital for
the South Carolina mills has come from
the communities in which those mills
are located, and the stock in great
part is owned by the planters who sup
have achieved instantaneous success.
What has been done in North Caro-
lima and South Carolina can be done
in Mississippi.- Democrat

TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE
CURRENCY NOTES.

The proposed plan of the treasury
department to change the size of all
our paper notes by making them all
smaller does not appear to meet with
as much favor as the authorities ex-
pected. Banks and financial institu-
tions that handle large quantities of
the notes do not favor the change, as
they are accustomed to the present
size, and all their cases and receptacles
for holding money are adapted to the
present notes, AMI would have to be
changed at considerable expense to ac-
commodate the proposed smaller notes.
There is probably good reasons for

CHARACTER.

After all, the thing called character
is not the result of mental training
alone. 1t includes the heart as well,
and it supposes that there is for what
we do, moral sanction, as there
should be divine benediction, and 1t
is this feature that, after all, fur
nished the dominant reason for the
only system of education, namely, that
we believe the child has right to
grow along the lines which God, as
well as nature intended; that a knowl-

complaining that there are too many
forms of notes of the same denomina-
tion, hence. such changes as would rem
red all notes of the same denomina-1
tion exactly alike in appearance would
evidently be welcomed Thus, for in
stance there is no sount reason for
several different sorts of so bills or
S. bills, and many of the large denom-
nations of silver certificates might
prOfitably be abolished as useless, as
gold certificates would probably serve
all the purposes for which bills of
large denomination are used. No good
reason has been advanced, however,
for changing the present size of paper
| notes except the slight saving in the
cost of paper.
Smaller sized notes would make ne
| cessary a complete set of new plates
| and many other heavy initial expenses
both to the government and to the
banks, for which no sufficient reason
can be assigned. Tt might be well
therefore, for the treasury department
to carefully reconsider its determine
ton to cut down the size of our cur
rency notes unless a better reason fOI

public has yet been acquainted with
