That canneries pay is evident from the amount of canned goods consumed, and the immense propor tions to which that industry has grown. The grocery in the United States that doesn't keep a stock of canned goods would be the excep tion and a very rare exception. It is an industry that is practically limit ed to the North. With the excep tion of Maryland, where the canning business has attained considerable proportions, coming Southward, very few canneries are found; as many in North Carolina as in any of the Southern States, with the ex ception of Georgia, where a good many canneries have been established in the peach belt to can the surplus peaches. Bat there are not canner ies enough in the whole South to en title the business to be called an in dustry; and yet there is not a town in the South which does not consume considerable quantities of canned sroods, nearly every can of which coups from the other side of the Po tomac and Ohio rivers. Up there they have reduced the business to a fine art and can about everything for which there is a mar ket as food; everything in the meat line, with many by-products which used to go to ' waste; everything in the fish line that is canable; every thing in the fruit, grain and vege table line. The kinds of canned good are legion, they are put upon the market by the million and go to the four corners of the globe. The towns in the Klondike are littered with the empty cans and they strew the plains in South Africa, where the. British soldiers toss them after emptying them, and they are one evidence of civilization in the jangles of the Philippines. The American food -can is a familiar sight where the American flag is seldom seen. And this business is growing, steadily and continuously growing, and the market for these goods is growing as fast or even faster than the canning industry. They are in demand foi army use in this and in other countries and their consump tion is on the increase in other countries, so that the market for these goods is not confined to this country, but is world-wide. It is evident from this that the industry as a whole pays, with in dications that it will continue to pay as well or better In the future as the market for these goods broadens, and the consumers increase in num ber as they are doing and will 'do. If the industry pays anywhere it ought to pay best where the condi tions are the most favorable, where the greaterjvarietv of canable articles may be produced within reasonable radius of the cannery, so that when one is exhausted attention may be turned to others and thus keep operations going on and the em ployes of the cannery busy; no lost time, for lost time means reduced profits. From the time that the strawber ries come in and the early vegeta bles make their appearance until killing frost comes there is not a month when canneries could not be busily employed' in putting up some kind of frnit or vegetable, while on our coast canneries might be em ployed in all the cooler months in putting up fish, oysters, clams, shrimps, &c, very little of wbich is done on our Southern coast, al though we buy a great many of these things canned in Maine and other Northern States. There are twenty-three millions of people in the South. These millions consume in the course of a year a large quantity of canned goods. At least ninety per cent, if not more comes from Northern canneries. We wouldn't expect to see beef, and other kinds of meats canned in the South for that business will natural ly be controlled by the large con cerns which slaughter so many ani mals and are completely equipped to do that kind of canning in the best and most economical way. Bat when it comes to canning fruits, grains and vegetables the South should not only have r canneries enough to supply the demand of her own population but to enter the Northern markets and compete with the canneries on the other side of the line. .This is not a business which re quires a large amount of capital for the plant and outfit. Of course the cost of these will depend upon the size of the plant and . the capacity for production. We have "seen it stated that a couple hundred dollars will furnish a complete outfit and plant with a capacity "to . turn out a very large quantity of goods. This like everything else requires atten tion and care, and judgment in selecting the best varieties of things to' can and the best quality of those varieties. It is a business for which some are , better , adapted than others and only those who have a taste for it, and the industry and the judgment to pursue it with care, should undertake it as a business, for the probabilities are that when they entered the market in competition with themenof better judgment and better methods they i - m m would fail and come to the conclu sion that there was no money in the canning business in this section. There is nothing abont the industry that any person of ordinary intelli gence and of good judgment in selecting his stock for market should not be able to master without trouble, and there is not a commu nity in the South which has not scores of men and women who would soon master all the details of the business and turn out work that would compare with any done in the North. This has been done by a few who have tried it and it could be done by many. There ought to be thousands of canneries in the South and North Carolina should have her share of them. HE BACKED OUT. The President of the Senate, Mr. Frye, got himself out of what might have proved a rather em- harassing predicament, when, on Tuesday, he ordered the clerk to reinstate on the r.oll the names of the South Carolina Senators, which he had previously ordered tempo rarily stricken off. He asserts that he had a right to do that, while every Democratic Senator holdB that he had not, in which opinion some of the Republican Senators agree with them, for they didn't propose to have that matter discussed, as the Democratic Senators were prepared and determined to do, and took ad vantage of the announcement of the death of a Representative from Michigan to adjourn forthwith. What disposition will be finally made of this case remains to be seen but the probabilities are that some mild discipline will be administered in vindication of the trampled on dignity of the Senate, and that will be the end of it as far as the Senate is concerned, but not as far as the State of South Carolina is concern ed. for she has a greater cause of grievance than the Senate. That was not the first time that Senators have so far forgotten the amenities of the Senate or its dig nity as to hurl sharp and offensive speech at each othesrand sometimes the lie indirect if not direct. Such episodes nsualiy wound np by the customary "apology" to the Senate if not to each other, but that was the first time that disputants resent ed language used by jumping over an astonished Senator who happen ed to be sitting between them, and pumelling each other then and there. There are some Republican Sena tors who would doubtless like to expel Tillman if they could find a plausible excuse for doing that with out at the same time expelling Mc Lauriu whom they do not want to expel, and couldn't find any good reason for expelling, for he simply defended himself when attacked, although he used fighting language in his reply to Tillman's charges. But neither of these, whatever the action of the Senate may be, will come out with any credit, and Mr. miman will have a good more trouble in satisfactorily explaining to his own people the bungling apology he made to the Senate, than he will in accounting for the attack he made on McLaurin. The apology was a reflection upon his own State. A HAPPY THOUGHT. It was a happy thought when Kaiser William selected his brother Henry to visit this country for the double purpose of being present at at the launching of the Kaiser's yacht, and presenting his regards to the American people. The thought was a happy one and the selection of his representative equally happy for Henry is a very sensible and very democratic sort of a fellow. He takes well with the American peopl he meets, is entirely at his ease and feels quite at home whether ming ling with the crowd or the center ceremonious attention. His speeches and responses of to speeches are brief, to the point and models of good sense, and we have no doubt that when he utters the wish that this may be the harbingei of kindly feeling and perpetua friendship between these two great nations he speaks -with sinceritv and means everything he says. These expressions have been happily recip rocated by President Roosevelt. speaking for the American people - Why should not these two na- tions feel friendly to each other? There is no conflict between them nor cause for friction, neither has what the other wants. Both are progressive, assertive nations, but there is field enough for both in the wide world without coming into conflict. It is well that the Prince has come because he is an observant man, he will learn more about this country and the get up of its peo ple by what he sees than he could learn in twelve months reading, and he will come into contact with rep resentatives of his own countrymen and the descendants of his own countrymen who have become citi zens of this country and contributed so much to its progress, develop ment and power and glory. It is well he came, for the visit must bear good fruit for his own country and for ours. People who dine with Prince Henry at that Chicago dinner will have to pay about 1100 a head. That's pretty dear eating for Chi cago, even if eggs and potatoes are high. . v There has been much said abont the "water cure" which our soldiers in the Philippines are charged with administering to Filipinos who are supposed to know something and will, not confess. The. method of administering it is to fill a canteen, with water, lay the patient on his back, raise his head, insert the mouth of the canteen into the patient's month and hold his nose. Strangulation comes pretty soon. Then the pressure is released from the nose, he is given a chance to talk, and if he doesn't talk to suit the operation is repeated. It is a sure "cure" for taciturnity, or a killer. But General Funston em phatically denies that American sol diers ever resort to that. It is said that there are hundreds of counterfeit Bank of England notes in circulation in England, and they are so well executed as to deceive the bank cashiers. If this be so what becomes of that bank note paper, the secret of making which is held by the manufacturers and it is said could not be imitated? Lawyer Patrick may have planned the murder of old man Rice, and it is very likely that he did, but if convicted it should be on some proof stronger and more respectable than the story of that miserable wretch, valet Jones, who says he did it at the instigation of Patrick. War is about to break out in Ger- many. An order bas gone loun ior the extermination of the rats, which are accused of being pur veyors of diseases. Dr. &.ocn will take command of the anti-rat forcts and has been commissioned to open the campaign. CURRENT COMMENT. Senator Hanna says capita and labor are twins. Hot, never thele88, this doesn't explain why one of the twins dines on cake and wine while the other is glad to get rye-bread and beer. Atlanta Jour nal, Dem. If the credit of a victory re verts from the man who did the fight ing to the man who was in command, though absent, why not let it revert still further, and go right bade to the commander-in-chief. President McKinley, who, according to the line of argument pursued by Mr Roosevelt,'wa8 the real hero of San- tiagb! Mobile Register, Dem. "The enemies of reciprocity with Cuba,' it is remarked, "are actuated by purely selfish motives and have no regard either for the moral rights of the Cubans or the best interests of this country." The question is, which consideration is uppermost in the regard of the pro moters of reciprocity the moral rights of the Cubans, are the pe cuniary interests of certain indust ries in this country." it is not nice to say "duty" when you mean dol lars. Charleston News and Courier, Dem. Although the United States supply breadstuffs to practically the entire civilized world, the nation cannot raise potatoes enough for the requirments of its own people. Since November 1 last, there have been brought here from foreign countries nearley 2,000,000 bushels of potatoes substantially all of which were absorbed by domestic require ments. The duty on potatoes is twenty-five cents per bushela blood tax, if there ever was one. Phila delphia Record, Dem. Trie S 1 o w n e of Starvation. Duriujr a prolonged fast the loss of weight is unusually rapid at first and decreases as tbe time goes on. Death ensues when a certain percentage of tbe loss bas been reached, and this per centage varies according to the origi nal weight. Fat animals may lose half tbeir weight, thinner ones perhaps two fifths. A man or woman of rather spare build weighing 143 pounds might, therefore, lose about 55 pounds before succumbing. Children die after a fast of from three to five days, dar ing which they bare lost a quarter of tbeir weight. Healthy adults, however, have fasted 50 days when water bas been taken. , A German physician re ports the case of a woman - aged 47 years who fasted for 43 days, taking water freely. She lost 44 pounds out of 143 pounds and died from exhaus tion. Ap Idea of Mara. "As for me," said M. Flammarion, speaking of tbe Inhabitants of Man In Tbe National Magazine. "I rather envy them a land where It Is always beau tiful, where there are neither tempests nor cyclones, where the years are twice as long as ours, where tbe kilogram Is of 376 grams and where, therefore, men and women who here weigh 70 kilos there weigh only 26. and where, in a word, everything Is lighter, mora deli cate and more refined." And in another place he goes fur ther, pointing out that if the Martians wished to communicate with us they would have doubtless made the effort many times In the past and probably long ago abandoned It, deciding it a hopeless business to attempt communi cation with a planet so stupid.

What was remarkable about her was the fact that upon her back she carried hun dreds of tiny spiders. She was so load ed down with her brood that it greatly impeded ner perambulating. Winston Journal: The silence of West Salem was broken Sunday olgnt by a great disturbance among the fowls, and the noise was nearest the home of Thomas Plan. He was tbe first to awaken, and upon invest! gation he saw a burley negro, heavily laden, making a run for tne gate. He missed the gate, and in going over the fence lost his grin on the burden he carried. When Thomas arrived on the scene he found a sack of hickory nuts and several hog jaws, which were later claimed by Mr. John Kimmel. and ten of his most ; highly prized fowls, with their necks broken. No clue to the guilty party could be ob tained. Durham Sun: Officers W. A. Cobb and J. W. Beavers arrested John Parker, a negro man, Saturday night and locked him up to answer to a serious charge, that of rape upon Li Hie Livon. a colored child under ten years of age. The court bound the defend over to the May term of the Superior Court and he was remanded to jail without bail, to await tbe action or the grand jury. It is claimed that North Carolina produces more bay to tbe acre than the Western or Northern States. This section evidently ; pro duces its share, for it is a daily occur rence to see country wagons on our streets loaded with hay for sale. Only a day or two ago nine wagon loads were noticed at one time on Parrisn stree. Baleigh News and Observer: All the .l ins for tbe development of the great power plant of tbe Whitney Reduction Company on the Yadkin river have been decided upon. A railroad is now being built from New London to the Narrows, six and three quarters miles. A solid granite dam ill be built across the river at Falls Mills Ferry. The water will drop 120 feet and develop 20,000 horse power net The electrical power will be transmitted to Salisbury, Concord, Charlotte, Lexington, High Point, Siatesville, Albemarle and other towns It is expected'that tbe plant will be in operation in two years. All the de velopment work will cost about $5 -000.000 The company is capital.xed ai $10,000,000. Warrenton Record: Green Dickerson, a farmer residiog about ten miles from Louisburg, attempted to commit suicide on Thursday, the 13ih iosL, by cutting bis throat with a ra zor. It will be remembered by those attending court that Mr. Dickerson was a witness in the Victor Hilliard horse stealing case, and when asked to dentify the thief be singled out one of the most influential men of our town. It is supposed that the pris oner's appearance was so greatly al tered by his long confinement that Mr. Dickerson could not ! recognize him. We learn that after the hearing of tbe case some one told him that he would be arrested and prosecuted for perjury. This so bore upon his mind, it is stated, that he was at last driven to self de struetion. IWIINKLINUS. Did His Best: Teacher (angri ly) You bad boy! Why did you cbalk your name on this new desk?

IERCES i fHE CONVERSION OF , PHILANDER His was one of the most unique and interesting recitals since the days when Sanl of Tarsus was suddenly converted and savors of tbe miraculous as well, bui to get the full meat of it one must hear It from the lips of the chief actor, touched by the strong flavor of humor he imparts to it It Is quite a different heroic from the ''experience" he gives In i prayer meeting, quite as truthful, but garnished with frills of expression that are easily forgiven to an old sol dier. Philander being a veteran of the civil war. His whole name-Tit comes of good stock and is an honorable one is Phi lander Kile Tucker, and be was a mem ber of the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin volunteers, Company C, with the rank of first sergeant, And one of the little Ironies of fate Is expressed In the fact that he fought hard and bravely and wnt through the war without a scratch' to find himself many years later badly worsted by an agent of peace. Sergeant Tucker believes absolutely that It was a divine plan carefully laid and carried out to bring him into the fold f I fought men part of my life, but 1 fought the Lord all my life. You see, if I wasn't for him I must be against him. Why, I was a terror In those days. I used to swear like a trooper before I was converted By gum, sometimes tbe air was blue with sulphur wasn't it, wife r ."Yes," admitted Mrs. Tucker with a smile. Her" face, with Its corona of white hair and pink color, looked as sweet and serene as a Madonna's as she sat opposite her soldier laddie and heard his oft told tale with the same amount of interest as if it were new. "You didn't mean any harm, father, and you were honest, but you had a great gift of swearing. I noticed it more after you came home- from the war." f'l always swore, i ever since I could speak, but you got kind of used to it. Cuss words Just seemed to come kind of natural. When I got mad, I swore. That was before I was converted. What year was that? It seems particular that I can't remember." . "It was along In 1807," his wife said. ;"Sure. You're right, as you always are. It was in September, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I was helping a neigh bor harvest, and was driving a steam traction harvester, and that was the time tbe Lord got ready to tackle me. i "I was backing up to hitch on to the separator before moving to the next lot, and Just at that moment the folks came out and asked me to come in to supper. I wasn't hungry and wonld rather have worked than eat, but farmers are kind of huffy If you slight their vittles and expect hands to eat early and often. ; "So I went In to supper, and when I come out I found that engine blowing off at 115 pounds of steam. Whew! It was hotter than no, mother, I won't swear than particular, and I swore then a blue streak. And I don't doubt the Lord heard me. I certainly swore loud enough. I "Then I took bold of the reverse lever to back my engine up to take on tbe separator, and the pressure of steam was so great on the valve the lever pulled like a runaway horse. I gave it a quick, hard jerk, and that lever drop ped from my hand to the bottom of the quadrant and that left the ports wide open, and the engine lit out like wild fire and run back into the separator, find when they came together I was between the two. J was squeezed like a lemon between the two machines, and the engine run thirty feet with me be fore It jounced away from the separa tor. I was saying to myself, 'Old boy, tf. you're going to get out of this it's time you were doing something your self,' and with that I gave a Bhout, and the men came running up and I was taken out in sections at least it seemed that way then. ' "I said: 'Boys, catch me. I am going to faint. This is the Lord's doing, but if he thinks I'm going to accept bis love in this fashion he'll find he's mistaken. If I'm to go over the road, I'll go just as I am.' And then I didn't know another thing for two weeks. Ami 1 wasn't converted then, by gum! "But when they had used a barn door to splinter me together and I was beginning to suffer the pain of healing wounds I began to wonder why the Lord hadn't finished .the job and squeezed me out altogether, and a kind of feeling came over me that I might as well give up; if he cared enough about my soul as to try to save it I might as well help along Instead of kicking against him, as I bad done all my life. And then I up and asked pardon for all my meanness and promised to use no more cuss words, and If one does slip out now and then I'd kept them on tap so long he Isn't going to be hard pa me after putting me through what he did to get me. Glory halleluiah!" Here Mrs. Philander ran her hands over the keys of the little parlor organ j In an anthem of praise,' and the old sol dier stood erect, a fine figure of a man, and ss the music ceased he remarked: "I tell you what since I made It up ' with the Lord I'm the happiest man in Cook county, by gum?'

COTTON MARKETS. bt Teiemacb to the Moraine star. New York, Feb. 26 The cotton market onened stendir with nriou, nn point higher to two points lower, or auum as aue on me news in hand. The Liverpool cables lacked special feature. Port receinta nild ously and the interior movement, too. was jiueri. ftumprs mat some nity thousand March nioiicea had hn nnt in circulation also tended to make the room contingent-very cautious. But soon after the opening a rush to buy March options stimulated demand for the later months as well, and prices advanced very rapidly. As against 8 56 on the call March climbed to 8 65 before a halt was called. The May option advanced to 8.51 and July to 8 50, tbe pries subsequently prov ing to be the top for the day Reports that a prominent Philadelphia concern was "stopping" all the notices, and claims that Southern spot markets were holding very firm, were largely responsible for the sudden show of strength. Liverpool quickly stiffened up to conform with the firmness here and Europe sent a goodly number or buying orders to their representatives on this side. While there was some slight reactioo in the market later in the day under room selling for profits, the. general ruling of the market was firm, with the close steady and net four to seven points higher. Wall, street and com mission houses ware 'nmmi of the May and July contracts while room bulls picked up stray lots of August and October. Reports from spinning centers and tbe drygoods dis tricts were very reassuring. Total ex port clearances were quite double tbe total port receipts for the day. .Nbw York.
