Daring the past Presidential cam paign we heard much about the "fall dinner pail." We don't hear so mtch about the fall dinner pail now, for there a great many of them which are not as fall now as they were previous to last November. We hare also heard a great deal about the high wages paid to work men in this country as compared with workmen in the same avoca tions in other countries. One would think to hear the talk about high wages that they were very high and that all an American workman had to do to get rich was to be reason ably economical. When the boast ters about the high wages found some of the skilled workmen in the steel plants, who, on account of their particular positions they held, earn ed wages ranging from five to ten dollars a day they exhibited these illustrations as if they were common instances when as they were the ex ception and, like angels' visits, few and far between: We confess that we thought American workmen better paid than they are until we saw the following in the Augusta Chronicle, condensed from the annual report for 1900 by the U. S. Bureau of Labor. It says: "AcoordiBjr to the published figures the followers of the theatre and miters of music have received daring 1900 an average wage of 1986.- This is said to be the only field in which womea ard better paid than men. "The next most profitable trade is that of engineers and firemen. Taeir average wages are $918 for the year. "Workmen employe! in ship build in? rank next, with an average income of $910 a year. "Kiiiroad men are put down at $331. aud the printing trades at almost the sane figures, $879. "Glass workers averaged $780, and next to these come the building, trades with $740. "Malt liquor and mineral water trades paid $706. - 'The trades connected with wood working and furniture making, which are commonly supposed to be fairly profitable, received only $671. "Workers on shirts and laundry men received $655; the hat, cap and fur trades, $586; the tailors, $549; boots, shoea and gloves, $532, while the tex tile trades received but $423 "Tae liquor trades are credited with but $605 a year, and the tobacco trades with but $513. "Pav on the street railways aver aged $155. "Tae average incoma of the misoel laneous trades was $523 "For doiog the same work womea are paid from 3J to 5 ) per cent, leas than men. Ia the tailoring business we find women receiving but $303; in the printing trades, $418; boot and shoe trades, $386; in me textile trades $418. and in all miscellaneous trades $398. Tie poorest paid of all trades in New York Were the brick and cement workers who averaged $329 " to bd congratulated on being better paid and better off than the work men of other countries. And yet this is not the fault of the employers, who, as a rule, with the exception of the Trusts and other grinding concerns, like the sweat shops in some of the Northern cities, for instance, pay as high-wages as they can afford to pay. It is more the result of conditions, to over crowded populations in the older countries, and to overcrowded cities in this country. For some years the tendency has been to leave the rural districts and crowd into the cities, a tendency not confined to this country but com mon to nearly all European countries as well. London, Paris, Berlin, have become little worlds in themselves, London alone having about twice the population of the State of North Carolina, as many people as Eng land ought to have to be comfort ably populated and entirely self sap porting from her soil. People leave the country where with the same amount of industry they must prac tice to live reasonably well in cities they could live comfortably, independently and be their own masters. This tendency to congre gate in the cities is one of the mis fortunes of the age, for it has re sulted in unhealthy congestion, to competition in labor, to disappoint ment and is largely responsible for the crime that keeps our courts em ployed and fills our prisons with criminals; not born criminals, but many off them the victims of ci. cam stances, environment, and of fate. Here is a field for the reformer and the philanthropist to better the condition of the working people. BLOOD ASP ORAB. According to the latest This is the average, given, we sup pose, for all the working days of A BELATED J5QUIR7. A resolution introduced in Con gress has drawn from Secretary Gage the information that the ex ports from this country for use in South Africa amount in value to about $26,000,000, and the farther information that no steps had been taken to prevent this "lawful" traffic. It is claimed by some that these shipments were in violation of a treaty of 18T1 with Great Britain, which stipulated that neither coun try should ship supplies to any other country with which either might be at war. Under this treaty American ships loaded with flour for Lorenzo Marques, in Dalagoa Bay, were held up by British authority, but after wards, on protest of this Govern ment, released. Whether the ship ment of these exports was a viola tion of the letter of that treaty or not it was a violation of its spirit, for while the British could come to our ports and buy unlimited quanti ties of such thiO as they needed in the war in South Africa, the Boers could not, even if they had the 8 hips, for they had no warships to protect these ships, so that England advices from China the allied Powers are not yet satisfied with the amount of blood shed to expiate the butcheries by the Boxers, although we are told that a hundred Chinamen have been killed for every Christian murdered. This, it is said, is what prompted President AicKinley to instruct Commissioner Rockhill, who tempo rarily takes the place of Minister Conger, who is coming home on other envoys that ttfere should be no more shedding of blood than neces sary. If the truth has been told there has already been a googl deal more than necessary, and more than civilized, Christian nations should have demanded or permitted. Protesting against this may have the appearance of condoning the butcheries and barbarities perpe trated by the Boxers, but many of the leaders of the Bjoxers have ex piated their officers with their lives, and then it should be remembered that the allied Powers profess to be civilized, Christian nations, with whose professions or teachings the merciless wholesale T shedding of blood in a spirit of vengeance does not accord. They can have all the blood they demand, for China is completely cowed and the so-called Government will give as many heads as are asked for to placate the Pow ers before which it cowers and trembles. While the game of blood-letting progresses the game of grab pro ceeds and we are told that Russia is privately negotiating with the Chi nese Government for concessions, while the other Powers are osten sibly working to settle the .trouble and establish peace. All this sug gests that the Chinese problem is not yet settled, and that it may possibly assume a more serious phase than it has yet worn. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. j rji0LD jt jftg DREAMS. I MOTHER AND CHILD the year, and the amount earned by I bad every advantage, and we were practically becoming her ally in that war against a weak people. A different rule seems to have been adopted since the time when this Government patrolled the South Atlantic coast to prevent the ship ment of war supplies to the strug gling Cubans, although these sup plies were shipped at the risk of the shippers, who took the chances of running the cordon of Spanish ves sels that was drawn aronnd Cuba This Government showed as much voluntary zeal then in preventing supplies from going from this coun try as the present administration has shown indifference in prevent ing what Secretary Gage calls "law ful shipments. An inquiry of this kind twelve months ago might have had some point in it and might have done the Boers some good. But what good can it do now, aside from showing the practical aid and comfort jiven the British by this country jrVtheir war with the Boers? The is no hope for the Boers now. Jf ter all their Spartan courage, hejoic pluck and patriotic devotion they have been or will be compelled to suc cumb to superior power and yield to inevitable fate, which might have been different if Great Britain had not had this country to draw upon for horses, mules and other sup plies, without which the difficulty of her task would have been im measurably greater, if not absolute ly impossible. the workmen and women for the year. Of coarse there are some who earn considerably more than others, and Bome, a good many, who earn considerably less than the average, bat who, looking at these figures would say that the Amerinan work men or working women is well paid? The average for railroad men is $881 for twelve months, an exceedingly hard and responsible service and one that deserves good pay. This is for twelve months to provide for him self and family in sickness and in health, to buy clothing, food, fuel, pay rent, for schooling for children, &c. With even a small family how much of this sum would be left at the end of the year? But the railaoad men are fortunate com pared with some of the others who average less than $600, and those employed in the miscellaneous trades where earnings average $465, a little over half the average earn ings of railroad men. With an ordinary family to" support on thess earnings wouldn't a good deal of thrifty management be necesaary to to keep hunger from crossing the threshold? The ability to live with any com fort on such earnings depends a good deal on the section of the country. In the North, for instance, where the winters are long and severe, it wonld be much more difficult than it would be in the South, where the winters are shorter and milder, where provisions and fuel are cheap er, and where consequently more comfort can be gotten out of a small amount of money, and yet in uwcuHsing ine wage question, it is not an uncommon thing to refer to the higher wages paid in the North aa an evidence of the better condi tion of the working classes, and the higher appreciation of labor, whereas when the cost of living is taken into consideration, the Southern work man is really better paid than the Northern workman. But there are none of them, North or South, taken as a whole, well enough paid! A workman ought to be entitled to something more than his food and clothing. Without more than 4hat he is no better off than the horse or mule, which pulls a dray or a" plow. In this respect the negro of the South was better off before emanci pation than he ia now, for he then got his food and "clothing and a comfortable house to live in "and didn't have to work as hard as he does now, if he supports himself by his work. But this is the fate of the workmen the world over, and probably always will be, and perhaps the working people of America are BOOK NOTICES.

"No, I can't say I go much on super stition and that sort of thing, but I'd like some of these wise chaps to ex plain a little incident that happened to me down in the Pecos valley, in New Mexico, a few years ago." Grizzled Bob Morrow, veteran cow boy, ranchman, globe trotter and phi losopher, took another pull at his cigar as he sat comfortably in his seat in the hotel lobby. A thoughtful look came over his face, and his companions at the table awaited In silence his further utterances. After a pause Bob con tinued: "We were 'sign' riding, Lee Wells and I. Know what 'sign' riding is? An imaginary line Is drawn on the prairie. Two men, one stationed at each end, ride toward each other at a given hour. Any cattle that have crossed that line are rounded up and driven back. The idea is to keep the cattle together as much as possible during the winter. "Our line was about ten miles long. Lee and I used to meet half way every day. and" If no cattle had crossed we'd sit down and smoke and chat a bit. Sometime we'd visit each other's 'dobe and generally chum togetheros far as men can when ten miles apart. We each had six horses, the pick of the herd, and Lilghty proud we were, too, of 'em. " 'Bout that time the Indians were rather troublesome. They generally went Iu small bands, and occasionally the loss of a bunch of horses would be reported by ranchmen thereabout. Lee and I didn't fear 'em much. They car ried only bows and arrows, and if it came to a chase our horses could eas ily outrun theirs. The greatest danger we had to fear was the loss of our horses. "Lee and 1 had talked frequently about the Indians, and both were of the same mind If attacked, kill the horses rather than let the marauding thieves get 'era. "I left Lee at the half way mark, as usual, one day, got back to my 'dobe and 'after eating dinner turned In. I hadu't been asleep very long when I was awakened by a sort of feeling that there was somebody In the room. I groped under the pillow for my gun, turning over as I did so, and there in the doorway stood Lee Wells. The feathered shafts of six arrows were sticking from bis breast, and his face In the moonlight looked drawn and ghostly. There was a smile of satis faction on his face, though, as he said quietly: "'Well, they got me. Bob. but they didn't get the horses.' "I was out of bed In an instant. The minute my feet touched the floor Lee vanished. The door was shut and lock ed Just as I left it when I went to bed. Pondering over the realistic 'dream,' or whatever It was, I turned In again, but it was a long time before 1 got to sleep again. "A second time I was awakened by the same vision. There stood Leo in the doorway, and again he pointed to the arrow shafts and said: " Tuey got me. Bob. but they didn't get the horses.' A "No more sleep fffr me that night. 1 looked around the 'dobe, thinking per haps Lee was playing me a trick. I went out to the corral. The horses were all right, and there were no signs of anybody haying been around. I sat up and smoked and thought a whole lot until daybreak; then-1 mounted and set off for the half way mark. Lee wasn't there, and there was no sign of his coming, so I rode ou to his 'dobe. "There, at the gate of the corral, was Lee's body, with six arrows in his chest, just as I had seen them in the vision. Inside the corral lay the bodies of his horses, all killed with bullets. "It was plain to me that, seeing the Indians coming, Lee had deliberately killed the horses before turning his at tention to the thieves. Judging from the hoof prints, there most have been about 20 Indians In the bunch. Lee must have damaged them some before he fell, judging from the cartridge shells lying around. They took his Winchester, of course, and looted the 'dobe. They didn't get much for their trouble, though. "But vbat I want to know is was that a dream or did Lee Wells really appear before me In some sort of formr His hearers could not explain.

The failure of the Sunday school as a means of giving a systematic and thorough knowledge of tbp Bib.'e is great. A teacher in a city high school asked an advanced class of 40 or 50 pu pils, who had been drilled for years In the International Sunday School Les sons, how to proceed in order to reach Palestine, and not one could, give the desired information. Then she asked the class iu what part of the world Palestine is located, and no one knew. That Is a very good specimen of Sun day school teaching and can bo paral leled anywhere by those who will take the trouble to ask a few questions. The Ignorance of the Bible on the part of most persons of avernge intelligence Is something amazing. The simplest questions will elicit no answer on the part of most such persons. That educrt.-vl j.rp. kuvw some thing about the Bible may be assumed, but not unless the training goes much beyond the standard f the common school. Again and again it has trans pired that those who were generally well informed, who were fairly well educated and regarded as bright and clever, were almost totally Ignorant of the Bible. Their Sunday school train ing had given them no knowledge of the book that was of any value, and, however much they might have read it since. It was to them a sealed volume. Boston Transcript.

Itm Kma Yoa Haw Always Boaglr COTTON MARKETS By Telegraph to tha Mornlug rttar New York, March 1 The long interest in the local cotton market was cut do n considerably to day and the fchort inter st increased proportion ately, the ousgrovUh of a pronoui.ctd break in prios and a upremacv of bearish iLnuences. The Enoli&h cables were disappointing, reflecting a feeble undertone and a decline of nearly two points ia prices. - Acting in coi junction with the foreign news was a rumor that Southern aarset? were heavy under offering of the staple held for weeks for higher prices. Receipts, too, were in excess of ex pectations, while mill reports were more pessimistic than any received in weeks. The opening waa steadv with prices off three to six points under light foreign and fairly active local general selling. Soon after the call the market showed a marked - leaning towards lower prices and before mid day feverish liquidation with con a dent bear selling had increased the toss 10 a matter or nine to eleven points on active months. The af ternoon developments were bear- isn ana no pause occurred in the downward trend of fluctuations, liquidation, if anything, semitht I increase. May sold off to 882 bbot J lucre was tne least symptom of a rally w uuTsnuK iioua snons, as a mat ter of precaution. The market re mained excited and weak much of the "mej with sentiment very much one sided. There was little business done In the way pf buying for a- turn, and on every hand sellings was ' the sole object of view.
