CHARLOTTE, S. c., Jan. 7.--Twelve
textile mills with an aggregate of
'205,000 spindles and employing $500

LITTLE HEAD. HUNTING NOW

Until six. years ago head hunting was in full swing along the coast Of New England. writes the Rev. l.. Cap pers and describes one of these ex- petitions by the tribe of Mirnd anim or. Kaya-Kayas. The practice. he says has been considerably checked by mili- tary authorities. Nevertheless head hunting is still quite frequent in the in- terior.
 On the appointed day men women and children would hasten to the point Of embarking. At the s:r~-oach of their goat the boats were anchored and the entire party stealthily entered the for est taking care not to give the alarm Extra care was needed once the de- signated spot had been reached. On q dark day the hunters kept well hid den in the bush, and during the night they advanced far enough to launch the attack early before dawn. Occasionally the hunters were hotly received, but most of the time the intended victims were rounsed from their sleep by the ! sudden war cry of the whole party and had no time to defend themselves. l Victims were felled by the dozen many

THE GOVERNOR ON EXPENDITURES

That Governor Lake is not satished with estimates and recommendations for appropriations that have been piled up by the appropriation committee of the legislature indicates that he does not in- tend to disregard the recommendations made tQ the legislature on the opening day when he called for the exercise of economy. At that time he pointed out that Connecticut faced a serious prob lem and desired to press home the im- D0rtant fact that efforts should be con- fciculously devoted to cutting the gar mcnr according to the cloth to delay what could be delayed without harm and t1 strive to keep within the income and avoid the bling uD of the indebtedness of the commonwealth.
 lt Is always easier to run Into debt thaa it is to keep out of It. It Is some how easier to take an affirmative stand reearding the expenditure of the money of state or a municipality than 1t Is to oppose it- It is realized that ali that has been sought from the legislature has a1- been granted but from the estimates furnished as to appropriations, if such -rcommendations arc followed by favor able action, it is quite evident that no .'-i0us effort has been made to keep within bounds. On the contrary there a-e even reports favoring the abollshins certain yearly revenue when the appro- 'r.alons for the next two years prom lse Co ro millions beyond what the state ,an reasonably expect to receive. That means a greater debt and ErsatAr Fcar,y interest account.
 Under such an outlook it Is htrhly consistent action on the part ef the eov- 'rnor when he goes through the esti- mates and indicates where some much 'eedcd pruning can take place and let's 't be understood at tse same time that 1T there Is not a cutting down that it sn De expected that veto win be ap- piled 1T it was desired to get this ex- ecutive support for further reductions, by putting forth the estimates at a fg- 1re SO much higher than estimated in- some. there can be no question but what t has been obtained and there are Rsod reasons for believing that the state will Fully endorse the stand which has been taken by the governor.

MONACO

Because interest in Monaco is ac- cettuated by the visit to this country of the Prince of Monaco, famous for | his oceanographic researches. the Natl ional Geographic Society has issued the | following bulletin concerning the prin- ] cipality:
 Tt is fitting that the tiny princi- pality of Monaco should have an im- posing museum of oceanography for it is from the that monaco derives it's wealth
 Fishing is not carried on as bus mess, nor do vast argosies suck as those belonging to the Geneose found CTS of the principahty now sail the l seas, and carry on the tradition for sea- borne commerce established by the Phoenicians who founded on the high headland upon which the great muse um now stands temple to HeracIes 1 which, when the Greeks took it over gave it's name to the religion. Yet the entire revenue of the eight square miles of Paradise which is left to the present Prince is derived from the | Sea Bathing Society.
 Sea bathing is still enjoyed in the realm of the Prince oceanogr apher but there are few bathers who know that they are not really bathing in the mu- nicipality of Monaco of Monte Car 10, but in the commune of Condamines
 which is much the largest of the three
 towns in the petty state. Condamines
 may suggest bathing to a few, but
 Monte Carlo or Monaco suggest some-
 thing quite different to nine men out
 of ten.
 The secret of . Monacos ability to
 derive so good living from the sea
 is due to the fact that the Society
 des Rains de Mer' owns and operates
 the famous Casino, the Mecca of more l. wouldbe bank breakers than any safe- ty vault in Manhattan. In the gaming T rooms of the notorious place, one can

 few days or many francs in this tiny t Paradise, decided to leave it for an.
 other larger one, his heirs or executor. cannot hold the principality responsi.
 ble for his apathy toward earthly ex-
 istance.
 The principality of Monaco has it.
