Halifax Law.

The evil repute of Halifax i'm
piled in the adage "Go to Halifax
came to it by inheritance from Hal
flax in Yorkshire, England. Hall
fax law, as may be gathered from a
letter OF Lord Leicester quoted by
Motley, was that criminals should
be CONDEMNED first and inquired
upon afterward."
Halifax lay within the forest of
Hardwick. where the law was that
if felon was taken with 49, pence
worth of stolen goods he should be
tried by four firth burgers from
four of the precinct towns and if
condemned by them be hanged the
next day. After this proceeding
had been carried out to the letter
the case might be sent to Il jury.
Halifax is also credited with being
the home of the guillotine, which
the regent, Earl Morton, introduced
into Scotland only to have his own
head chopped off with it.

Cotton Picker Against the Negro.
Charlotte Chronicle.l

The day of the cotton picker Is
coming. The Price Ca;npbrll ma
chine represents the most advanced
type and it has been perfected to
such a degree, that the Texas lIrgi--
lature has given it official recogni-
ton. The Market World and Chron-
icle notes that the Legislature Of
that State has enacted law winch
permits farmers to organize cOmpa-
MES and incorporate for the purpose
OF purchasing and operating these
machines. The amount OF capital
stock of corporations OF this charac-
ter is limited to $4,000. 1t Is said
by the supporters OF the bill that the
demonstrations upon plantations IN
this State last season were highly
successful. The cost of II machine
places it out of reach OF the ordinary
farmer, but by forming companies
one can be purchased and made to
do the work for many farmers. On"
OF the great advantages Of the ma
chine is that it will end the depend
ence of cotton growers upon the ire
sponsible negro labor which has been
always relied upOu to pick the cot
ton after it has been grown. This
labor is often almost impossible to
be had at any price, and is always
expensive. The current wages for
picking cotton now runs from 10
cents to $I25 per hundred pounds
of seed cotton, or ~ to 81 cents per
pound of lint cotton. Figured on ii
production of 100000 bales for
Texas there is now paid to negroes
in that State annually a sum from
$2O,OOO,OOO to $3O,0O0,OOO. 1t is
estimated that the new cotton pick
er will do the work for less than one
quarter of this amount.

A Weekly Paper Like Grist Mill

We suppose it never occurred to
MANY writer's of local news and adj
verti<ements for weekly papers that
they are i'll any respect like grist
mills. Imagine grist mill in II com
munity where it takes all the time
to grind the corn. Then LIT every
farmer carry in his corn Saturday
morning and demanded his meal
ti.at day Conld it I've furnished?
Certainly not The mill would be
idle five days in the Week and over
run one day II the corn should be
brought to the mill all along through
the week, as the mill was ready for
it, all the meal could be delivered
Saturday. When one issue of II
weekly paper is mailed, the editor at
once goes to work on the next issue.
If the news and advertisements are
delivered to him all along during
the week he can have them set up
and he ready to publish the paper
and send it out Thursday or Friday
morning, as the case may be, but If
verybody waits with news and ad-
vertisements until Thursday after
noon, to deliver them to the editor,
what can he do with them? The
question should not be how late can
get in what | want to go in the
paper, but how soon can get the
matter ready for the editor. The
paper must come out on time or the
subscribers will grumbl..

THE BRUNSWICK SITUATION.

There are many reasons these days
look to the future of his city with
something of an optimistic view.
There can be no question about that.
We do not belong to the booster class
nor are we so in love with our city
that we cannot perceive her faults,
as We extol and esteem her virtues.
But the fact of the matter is Bruins
wick is growing along lines that stand
for something. that mean something,
and that make for permanent and
substantial development. In the
very first place, our people seem to
have embraced the logical conclusion
that the two NECESSARY. Industries, the
two important factors absolutely es-
sential to the growth of Brunswick
are factories and farms! For years,
those who are gifted with the power
of looking into the future have teen
telling US this. The port is a gift
there is no room to argue that, and
We havetthe best oneson the, south
Atlantic. coast-but. the, port alone,
cannot make great city. The noyt,
only ofsrssahe >Eate opportunity, only,
points the way. ohe rest must be &C
complished as was done in New Or.
leans, in Baltimore and Savannah
and Jacksonville. We must utilize
the great advantages this .boft gives
to us and to do that we must produce
something!
That's the thing!
We must till the soil and force 1T
| 10 yield it's harvest of riches, we
must manufacture, that the port may
reach out and become something
more than a toll-levying proposition
for freights coming and going through
the harbor!
r. Catch the idea?
Port Royal as 'a,.good sRort. Fernsn.
dina is a good port and so is St.
Mays. But their opportunity came
and, came again and finally deserted
10 other clinics. rBrunswick's oppor-
tunity came, it was ignored. but dame
fortune has brought it to our doors
again. and this time we are giving it
a cordial welcome, we are giving it
the, glad hand and we arc responding
I to its presence in a fashion, that must
WOO It and win it forever for our own.
Within the year we have landed two
immense manufacturing plants and
these concerns will succeed, because
they, come to a section ip, close prox-
unity with the raw material. which
theyS%ill utilize, Others are negoti-
ating for sites and it is fact that
Brunswick, with her ideal conditions

when he sees our advantages. is as
anxious to come as we are to have
him do so. So We are paving the
