Fat Sometimes Helps. Speaking In a paper on the subject bf the various djet cures for fatness, the eminent authority, Dr. Andrew Wilson, says: "Doubtless starches and sugars, represented in such vegetable foods as bread, rice, tapioca and the like, are fat formers. The living body has a power of making fat out of that which Is not fat. And along with this point is another that fat Itself does pot go directly at least, to make fat In the body. Fat is, on the other hand, 11 valuable addition to the diet of a cor pulent person, because it has a power properly administered of burnlug off food excess. In more than one sys tem of body reduction fat is, therefore, administered as an essential part and parcel of the diet cure." , Some men Tlnd courage only when they lose their tempers.

Commenting on the cotton mill troubles in Xew England, the Jackson ville (Fla.) Times-Union says: "In the South food ia cheaper, fuel and clothing coat far less, rents are lower and comfort more generally diffused, Iho Southern mills are in the fields. They pay much smaller sums for the ransportation of their materials. Coal is cheaper. The homo and foreign markets are as accessible to the South em manufacturer as to the Eastern one. The South is, therefore, underselling New England and the Northern millers are moving South. Within a genera tion the South will have control of the cotton industry from the Eeed to the cloth. "With tho mills other things must go South or West. ; The big cities will go with the factories. New England has no natural advantages as compared to the other sections except water power and harbors. The climate is rigorous, tho fcoil is poor, food must be brought from long distances and coal is high where a lire runs nine months. The tide must como South, and the one who begins early will have the advantage of cheaper laud. " HALL'S Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENEWED It has made miles and miles $ and millions of ffeads.

At Baloigh, iast week, the Associa tion of Academies of North Carolina met in Pythian halL It was opened with prayer by liov. Dr. Norman. The annual address by President Hugh Morson, showed great need of conserva tive influence of high school and acad emy. The report of the secretary, W. T. Wilson, showed the association em braced in membership about forty-five leading high schools and academies. Over twenty of these were represent ed in this meeting by the following edu cators: Ilush Morson. Baleigh Male academy; J. M.Oldham, William Ring ham, W. T. Whitsett, Whitsett insti tnte; J. M.

It was the best attended of any meeting ever held by the Association. Repre sentatives wero present from Charlotte, Statesvillo, Concord, High Toint, Greensboro, Durham, Baleigh, Wil mington and Goldsboro. Some of the papers discussed were: "How to Stimu late tho Taste for Good Literature," "Somo Hidden Corners in Education." "Latin in the Public Schools," "Phon ics as a Moans to Beading," "How to 3Iako the Opening Exercises Inter esting," and "Local Taxation." The meeting was interesting in every detail, and the papers were well-written and thoughtful. One interesting fact that was brought out is that the friends of public education still bo lieve that local taxation for the sup port of the public schools must come b?foro we can have an efficient school system iu North Carolina. Besolntions were introduced advocating a contin uance of the struggle for local taxation and better schools. New Rules of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court adopts a new rule requiring that fifteen copies of the en tire transcript sent up in each action shall bo printed, except in pauper ap peals. Tho rules as amended will be printel and distributed as soon as possible, but the above requirement is given out for the information of per sons intsrested in appeals to this court. Two Men Killed at Goldsboro. At Goldsboro, a large shelter being erected at the cotton yard to store cotton, collapsed, killing two negro workmen Abram Faison and Willis Mable. Several white men fell with the building and it is said that one of them named Johnson is seriously hurt. Several were slightly wounded. Be moving the braces caused the accident. Will Double Its Capacity. The Concord Standard says that Mr. J. W. Cannon, of that place, has se cured a company of men, and will double, if possible, the capacity of the present cotton mill at Albemarle, and will put up a new one that will involve 8200,000 of capital. Searching for His Wealth. C. G. Phelps, quite an old man, who lived near Baleigh, has died, leaving, it is said $3,000 in gold, which is being eagerly searched for. He had lived for years in a tiny house on the edge of a forest owned by him in which no tree was ever cut down. This grand piece of timber is within two miles of tho above city. It was John Phelps' chief delight and pride. Insurance Company Licensed. The Secretary of State licenses the Guarantors' Finance Insurance Com pany, of Philadelphia. He has received a copy of the bill introduced in the United States Senate bv Rati At nr "PI off to place all insuranco companies under national superyision, and says if it be comes a law it will cut North Carolina out of $90,000 annually. ON OF flCflu Items of State News. There were two homicides in Craven county last week, all the persons in volved being white. The railway officials say the holiday travel was so heavy as to break the records. The Secretary of State has licensed 116 life and fire insurance companies to do business in North Carolina. It is stated officially that the Baptists of this State expect Dr. Whitsett to re sign as president of the theological seminary. The North Carolina cotton mills are doing well and good dividends, it seems, will be the rule and not the ex ception this month. Charitable people in Baleigh gave a dinner to 200 negro women, none of whom were under 60, and some were over 90.

THE SECRET OF THEIR LABOR Growth of the Industry at Charlotte, N. C, the Centre of the Great Pied mont Region. A special from Charlotte, N. C, to the Philadelphia (Pa.) Record, says: In view of the extensive wage reduc tions made by the New England mills on account of the competion of the South, the growing mill industry in the Southern Stales, which is proving one of the most potent influences in building up the great region below the Mason and Dixon line, is of special in terest. Charlotte is the centre of the cotton manufacturing interests in the Piedmont region, which extends from Lynchburg, Va, , on the north, to At lanta, Ga., on the south. In 1830, when D. W. Oates established the first cotton mill here, the population was 5,500. In 1890 it had 11,550 people. Five years later the census gave 19,000, and in July, 1897, the town boasted 2 j, 000. Not only are there seven cot ton mills in the place or in the im mediate outskirts, but within a radius of 100 miles, there aro over 200 others, embracing 54 per cent, of the entire number of spindles in the South, and 62 per cent, of all the looms. The cotton mills of Charlotte, ex clusive of the hosiery, towel and sash cord factories, employ 1,345 operatives. They consume weekly 396 bales of cot ton, and disburse every Saturday night in wages, in cash, $4,870. The High land Park, the Charlotte, the Atherton, the Ada, the Alpha and the Victor Mills use up 20,592 bales of cottou per year, and pay out in cash in wages 253,210. COTTON AT THE MILti DOORS. The mills of Charlotte carry about 83,000 spindles, the largest of them, the Victor, carrying 13,600; the Atherton comes next with 10,000, a peculiar char acteristic of tho Atherton, which lies on the ourskirts of the town, being that cotton grows at the very doors of the milL Each mill i3 surrounded with its colony of working people. There are 50 miles of macadamized roads in Mecklenburg county and 30 miles of this is in the corporate limits of the town. They have cost 2500 a mile to build. At the head of the broad stair way of the Southern Manufacturers' Club in Charlotte is a big transparency. It pictures a broad, hard roadway over which a two-horse team i3 dragging easily a load of 12 ba!o3 of cotton. It takes 475 pouuds of cotton to make a bale, so here is represented more than three tons of draft, including the wagon itself. A SOUTHES-V OWNER'S VIEWS. In au interview with Mr. L. A. Cool idge.of the Boston Journal, B.M. Oates, Jr., the proprietor of the Gold Crown Hosiery Works, one of the leading hosiery concerns of the South, said re garding tho mill industry: ".Such a thing as a strike is unknown, and there has never been any tendency in that direction among the people in the mill?. "It is true that our wages, as a rule, aro not so large as farther north, but the difference is not so ureat as sonTa imagine. I have in miud at this moment l a case where my establishment paid fc) cents a dozen for a class of work which coat only Hh cents a dozen in Philadel phia, and I "have been assured that there is a certain mill in New Hampshire where the Philadelphia rate prevails. Almost all my operatives are girls. I have only 17 men in my whole place. Girls who used to be satisfied with $4 a week are not satisfied now unless they make 35 a week. PROSPERITY OF EMPLOYES. "You would be surprised to know how cheaply people can live. I have in mind the case of an old woman in my employ who lived on the outskirts of the town and who earned 70 cents a day. She told me her entire living ex penses for a week were 65 cents. Then, too, entire families work iu the mills. I have a family in my employ consist ing of six people who draw out of the mill $90 a month among them. "Rent is not a serious item in the cost of living. The mills used to give their houses to the operatives rentfrree. That was when the operatives wdrked 12 hours a day. The mill owners got together and reduced the hours of labor to 11 a day, and at the same time bega"h to charge a small rent of 20 cents a week for every room. So far as religion is concerned, I can only say that the mill owners have done a good deal to give their help religious opportunities. Sev eral of the mills have built chapels for the operatives, usually Presbyterian, Baptist or Methodist. OWNERS AS MILL MANAGERS. "Here is a point to be bornein mind: You will find that.the owners of mills down here are always personally active in the management. My father, for in stance, is the active superintendent and treasurer of the Charlotte Miils, which ho established seventeen years ago, and lata the samo in mino. That is the rule everywhere. "Take the Holt family, which ia til A wealthiest and most influential manu facturing family in the State. Edwin ju. noil built tho first cotton mill in the State in 1835. and now tha fjimilv controls no less than thirty-two mills. everyone oi tnese mills are under the personal active management of some member of the family. THE WAGE QUESTION. "While the individual cost of labor in the South is undoubtedly lower than in tho North, the collective cost is not so very much different. One man ui the North, for instance, will handle more machines than one man will handle here, and the total amount of wages paid for work performed is not so very much higher there than here after all. "It is a striking fact that while the manufacturing centres are being rein forced from the farms the agricultural interests have not suffered at all, but on the contrary have improved. The explanation is that the places of the white 'croppers' have been taken by negroes. Our agricultural population is becoming largely colored. The negroes cannot work in the mills. "It is not true," he said, "that we have any great advantage in the cottou fields at our doors. As evidence of this a Philadelphia manufacturer in dis cussing the question with me made the statement that he had just bought a lot of cotton which cost him 7 4-10 cents per pound landed at his mill door. We were r&yins at the fam tima 7 csata for the same grado her MONETARY COMMISSION'S REPORT. Hade by Anthprity of the Indlinapolli Business Men's Conventloo. The report of the Monetary Com mission appointed under authority ol the convention of business men, held in Indianapolis last January, has jusi been made public. The existing gold standard on which busiuess has been done 6ince 1879 is maintained on the ground the industrial interests de mand certainty as to what the stand ard shall be. To this end it is urged that the United States should remove all uncertainty as to the meaning of "coin" in its obligations, thereby sav ing the taxpayer by the ability to bor row at a lower rate of interest. No attempt is made to remove the exist- ing silver dollars, nor to change their legal tender quality; on the contrary, a place is provided for them in the circulation by forbidding the issue of any paper money other than silver cer tificates in denominations below $10. It is regarded by the Commission as dangerous to maintain the present practice of using Government demand obligations as money. The Commission, therefore, strongly urge the Government to withdraw its demand obligations now used as money, decline to provide gold for exporters and put the burden and expense of maintaining a redeemable paper circulation upon the banks. In order to meet the demand obligations, the present reserves of gold in the Treasury furnish a sufficient sum to be set aside in a Division of Issue and Bedemption and the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to sell bonds whenever th reserves need replenishment. In this way, or from surplus revenue, the de mand obligations (that is, United State3 notes and Treasury notes of r si s low,) can ue removea in such a way that the cost to the country can be re duced, with the result of simplifying our currency, and adding to confidence iu the certainty of our standard. By the plan of tho Commission tho with urawai or uovernment pnper is so arranged that contraction cannot possi bly take place; if United States notes are cancelled their place will be taken by tho gold paid out for them, or by the expansion of bank notes. The demand obligations of the Uni ted States were not a money based on property; they were only a debt. On the other hand, a bank note is never issued (fraud, of course, excluded) ex cept for a consideration in negotiable property of equai or greater value xue oanK noie comes lortn as the se quel of a business transaction, and is based on the active property of the country which is passing between pro ducers and consumers. This property is always negotiable and alw ys equal to tho duty of meeting the noto liabil ity. Bank notes are as sound a3 the business transactions of the country. The currency of the country, more over, 6hould increase as the transac- tions of the country increase; hence the rigid unchanging issues of the Government make them nn iuelastic part of the circulation, while by the very process of their issue bank note3 alone cun be automatically adjusted to the changing transactions of the busi ness community. In .mending the present national banking system, the Commission were actuated by a desire to secure abso lute safety to the note holder; to make the notes uniform and of equal cur rency in all parts of the country to create au elastic system, which, while expanding in response to increasing transactions, should healthily contract when transactions diminish, and which would help in a better distribution of banking facilities throughout the Western and Southern States. While providing for the partial use of bonds for securing notes (twenty five per cent, of the capital) the Com mission rropose that notes beyond this should be issued on all. instead of a part of the resources of a bank; and within a few years that no special bond security should be required. Banks may issue notes up to sixty per cent, of their capital without re straint; for issuo beyond sixty per cent, and up to eighty per cent, they pay a tax of two per cent. ; for those beyond eighty per cent, and up to 100 per cent, they pay a tax of six per cent. These notes would be a prior lien upon all the resources of the bank, and, in addition, upon the stockholders' liability. Moreover, all banks issuing notes contribute five per cent, of their circulation as a per manent guaranty fund. For daily re demptions, banks are required to keep a five per cent, redemption fund in the hands of the Comptroller of the Currency. Banks of $23,000 capital may be established in places of 4000 inhabitants, and branch banks are also uermittcd. Melnheer Janssen. The man who by proxy Is tho father of tho 5-cent cigar that Is smoked ev ery day by millions of Americans Is Meinheer Janssen, of Amsterdam, Hol land, the dictator of the world's tobac co market. It was he who discovered the value of Sumatra leaf as "wrap pers" for cigars filled not only with American but Havana tobacco. lie is 70 years old, . Mr. Janssen, while not the discoverer of the fact that the Island of Sumatra produced a very superior leaf tobacco, one curiously well fitted for use as cigar wrappers, was the first to appreciate the value of the discovery made by a countryman of his and to encourage the wider and better cultivation of the plant In Sumatra. It was he who broke the domination f the Havana plant ers in tho cigar trade," It was he who made it possible for the tobacco smok er of ordinary means to procure a ci gar of excellence at a price that fitted his purse. To-day the larger propor tion of cigars smoked all over the world are wrapped with tho smooth, fine-veined leaf grown on the Island of Sumatra, It is that leaf that made it possible to utilize American-grown to bacco in the manufacture of "domestic" cigars, and it was Its introduction to this country that laid the foundation for the Immense domestic cigar trade, a trade which employs thousands of men and in which millions of American capital are Invested.

THE V:Att 1897. Characterized by a Total of Trade Greater Than Any Year Since 1892. Bradstreet's commercial review, for the past week, says: Holiday quiet and stdek-taking close a year, which, while not fully realizing the most san guine expectations, certainly contained much that was Lratifviug and more that is full of promise for the year 1898. Following a series of years of alternate panic, and slow and even painful revi val, 1897 presented a large volume of business done us a whole at prices, which, while not altogether satisfacto ry, resetted in a total of trade larger than in any previous year since 1892. Tariff changes restricted demand but encouraged speculation and heavy im ports in the first part of 1897, while the enlarged foreign demand for Ameri can breadstuffs and for some varitiea of manufactured articles bettered the condition of the American farmer, and, therefore, business men, quite materi ally in the latter part of the year. Price conditions have not favored the Southern producer of cotton nor the Northern manufacturer of cotton goods. The best reports com e from the West, Northwest and the Prcific coast. Prices at the close are as a whole on a higher range than at the opening, ad vances being most numerous in food products, raw silk and wool, while de creases are to be reported in raw cot ton and cotton goods, nearly all metals, aninracue coai ana petroleum, itaii road interests share in the revival of prosperity, with gross and net earnings larger than any year since 1803, and the year 1898 opens with the business com munity, with the few exceptions noted, in a very cheerful frame of mind. A heavy falling off in number and in liabilities of individuals, firms or cor porations failing was shown in 1897 from 189(3 and the four precedingyeara. A partial return to more or less nor mal conditions is further indicated by a drop in the percentage of assets to liabilities and by a reduction in the commercial death rate as compared with every year since and ' including 1898. The total number of failures re ported to Bradstreet's for the year just closed was 13,090, a decrease of 2,000 failur. s and over 13 per cent, from 189(5; a falling off of 15 per cent, from 1891, a year of prosperous business but of nu merous business embarrassments. Compared with 189", there was a gain in the number of failures shown of about half of 1 per cent., while com pared with 1892 there was an increase of 27 per cent. Liabilities of those fail ing constituted one of the smallest totals of recent years, amounting to only $156, 10H, 000, a decrease of 37 per cent, from 1891, but a gain of 47 per cent, over 1892. The least favorable showing is made by the Eastern States, which report increases in number and liabilities over 1896. In spite of de pression in cotton prices, Southern failures and liabilities are smaller than a year ago, while tho greatest falling off is reported iu the West and the Northwest. The commercial death rate, that is the percentage of those in business failing in 1897, was 1.10 as compared wiih 1.40 in 1896 and 1.50 in 1893. Those reliable indices of the business situation, bank clearings, point to the year 1897 as witnessing the heaviest business, both speculative and com mercial, done since tho record jear, 1892, just preceding the panic. The total clearings at 18 cities for the 3ear, one week estimated, aggregated at least 53,826,000, a sumlarges by 12 per cent, than the total of 1896, a year of silver agitation and an excitinjr presi dential election; 8 per cent, larger than 189o, the disappointing j'ear when a boom in iron and kindred products led to false hopes of business improvement; 25 rer cent, over the year 1894, when the depth of depression following the panic may belaid to have been reached; 5 per cent over 193, the year of w ide- spread disaster in nnaucinl ami com mercial circles, and oulv7per cent. smaller trran the total of 1892 when the boom follow ing tho larger foreign de mand for American breadstuffs aud other products reached its height. Business failures for the Dominion of Canada and New Foundland, for the calendar year 1897. amounted to 1,927, with total liabilities of 313,219,000, u falling of 14 per cent, in number of 19 per cent, in liabilities from a year ago. A GREAT FALL OF SNOW. Pittsburg and Allegheny Without Lights, Street Cars or Telephones. Titteburg and Allegheny, Va., last week experienced the most disastrous buow 6torm ia tho damage to wires, buildings, traction, lines, etc., in their history. The loss to the Bell Telephone Company in the two cities alo'no will reach, it is estimated, an aggregate of 885,000. The prostration of their wires in Indiana, Jefferson and West Mcro land counties, where the business is practically at a standstill, will run the total up to 3125,000. It will be weeks before perfect communication will be restored. To Flgbt the Democracy.' The Alabama Topulist State executive committee at a meeting a few days ago, called a State convention to meet on the first Wednesday in May to nominate a full State ticket, including a candidate for Governor and all State officorn. A committee was appointed to select a place for tho convention. The commit tee issued a long address, urcincr all Populists to abstain from participation in tho Democratic primaries, denounc ing the Democratic party for upholding alleged fraudulent elections, and invit ing all opposition to Democracy to unite in the support of the Populist ticket. The Topulist policy will be along the middle-of-the-road lines, and a strong bid, it is said, will bo made for Bepublican support, it being under stood that the latter party will not put out a State ticket. Tho Reduction Accepted. The Amoskeag, Stark and Armory cotton manufacturing corporations. Manchester, N. H., have put the no tices of a 10 per cent, cut, which were posted about two weeks ago, into effect. - The 12,000 operatives employed by the three corporations have decided to ac cept the reduction and there will be no strike.
