BRIGHT WOM AH 'S IXPERIBHCE AS A HOU81MAID f I The servant problem is one of the most serious in this country to-day. - I The experiences of the employing people in the cities of the South as well as the North are the same, and the newspapers every where teem with accounts of the inconvenience, annoyance and unsatisfactory con ditions not only on account of the scarcity of houBe help of all kinds, but doubtless more on account of the inefficient and ureliable help that offers (for employment. It is truly a problem that practical peo plt are settingjabont'td solve. Wil mington Is deeply concerned - in it, and householders, will be interested in the efforts of Miss Jane Seymour Klink to study the situation and of fer a solution. I K - Miss Klink, a bright and practi cal young woman, in order to make a study of the perplexing servant problem, hired herself out and en gaged in the work to get a clear in sight into it, with a view to writing. of the subject from) an experienced standpoint. After a period of prac tical education as a servant, she gives her conclusions in an entertain ing and valuable article in the At lantic Monthly for March. It is a thoughtful, interesting and helpful article to all concerned in the subject which she bo entertainingly' treats , Miss Klink shows us that the problem which confronts society is as difficult as It is Important The first conditions are that thousands of homes are in, need of cooks and housemaids. She finds that as a rule the wages offered are better than those in the factories and in many of the department stores. Hex observation, and there is no doubt of it, is that the cook and the house maid are better fed than any other class of workwomen. While she was waiting in a Boston Cafe, she made careful observation and writes this: j ;f . ; "I have sat night after night in a Boston cafe 'and seen women and girls come in and dine with unfail ing regularity off tea and rolls, cast ing 10 eents. Yet they had been . working hard all day, and, to judge by their looks, needed something more substantial." And many more have not even that, but cook in their rooms, reducing the cost; of , living to that of simple existence." The domestic, on the other hand, is ' as a rule well fed, well housed, and the labor, while continuous, is'not usually hard or exhausting. And yet employment is offered in thou sands of homes and there are no ap plicants, while "factories are over whelmed with applicants for work, sweatshops flourish I on cheap and abundant labor, department stores . turn away thousands of would-be salesgirls, typewriters are legion, there are more teachers than there are places." j j The Baltimore Sun gives us this further view of Miss Klink's article and her remedy for the trouble: ; In their extremity families are compelled to accept , the 1 services of dirty and incompetent servants to whom it is no object to please, be cause they know if they lose one place they can get another without any trouble. Strangers without characters are taken into the homes, trusted with children and property, and there la an amount of blind faith that is astonishing. And even the negro "trampl. ser vants are so nara to get tnat homes are broken np and families are go ing into boarding houses and apart ment houses, or are. buying cheap meai iicgets nere ana there. What is the remedy ? For there must be some. It is to elevate do mestic service and to make it more ' attractive, so that girls and women of decent parentage can engage in it without any feeling of social dis credit. Miss Klink says that domes tics, above all else, object to being called servants. It implies a degree of social inferiority to which the American woman will never subject herself if she can avoid it. Bather than do so she will submit to the in dignities and hardships and starva tlon of other employments. It is not a question of wages that figures in the difficulty of getting domestics. At the present rate of wages a cook can clothe herself comfortably, have aounaant and good food and put something In the savings bank. That . is wnat tew factory ems can accom pliah. The problem to which society must address itself,! then, is how - are we to elevate ! domestic em ployment and make the social posi tion ,of these' employes as good as mat 01 tnoae wno work in factories, -. for example. When that Is accom- pHshed housekeepers will have com petent and self -respecting women around them whom they can trust and who will not have to be re proved and . watched; who can sret through their work in half the time it takes an incompetent, and will thus have shorter hours of actual work. There are thousands upon - thousands of Women and girls who . want employment,: and as soon as domestic service " can be entered " into by self respecting women with out anv more feeling 01 social dis credit than when they go into a fac- wry or into a aevstibiuvuv- ow, - then there ;will 'be no'! scarcity of cooks and housemaids.

T - i Charlotte Chronicle: Our idea of it is that this whiskey business should" have been' left in charge of the Prohibition party The Demo cratic party was never able to deny the fact that it stole the Populist platform, and now it has robbed the Prohibition party of about the only job that party had in the State, j i Baleigh News and Observer: Ihe Yarborough lobby these nights is a place of real interest. Many of the State's leading politicians are there and a fellow hears many things that would not do to tell. To tell tbe truth it is worth a man's while to spend an evening there and study the characteristics of a modern politician, j ; ; - Baleigh Post: The whole State sympathizes with Senator Beasley, of Currituck, whose little son re cently disappeared in some mys terious way. No tidings have been received as to the! whereabouts of the little fellow. Senator Beasley offers, through the! columns of the Post this morning, a reward of five hundred dollars for the return of the boy alive to his parents. j Gharlott6 Chronicle: A few years ago the boys hunted rabbits in the vacant fields east and north of tbe depot at Concord.' Now there are ho vacant fields there. All have been built up in cotton mills and furniture factories. The vacant field to the south is now to be built up with a new electric power plant and cotton mill town. Concord is a fine example of what - mannfactnring plants will do for a town. Baleigh Times, February 25ths We are glad . to see the - senti ment growing in favor of enlarging the capitol. Looking at the matter from a plain, business standpoint, this seems to us to be the only wise course to pursue. The committee appointed by the last Legislature to investigate -the subject thoroughly and make recommendation, came to the conclusion after studying tbe proposition from all sides, that it would be best lor the state to en- Irfge the present capitol building rather than erect other buildings. . r Charlotte Observer: Some of Mecklenburg's leading farmers are selling hay on the Charlotte market, Many wagons, loaded with fine pea vine hay, pressed into "bales, are seen on the streets every day. Mf. John L. Bae, Jr., of . Providence township, and Mr. Bobert B. John son, of Pineville. sold several loads here recently. The price runs from 116 to $20 a ton. An acre of good ground will produce from 1$ to 2 tons easily. This makes the cnltnre of peas worth the while. It would be Interesting to know how much hay was made in the county last year, how much will be sold, and the greatest quantity grown on a single acre. These are questions people ask every day. ! 1 Among the .new . corporations chartered at Baleigh on Friday. was tne uurnam Tobacco, Storage; and Inspection Company, of Durham.! The purpose of the corporation is to buy, re handle, prize and deal in leaf tobacco. The authorized capi tal stock is $2500. Will com mence business on $18,000. The in corporators and shareholders are B. L. Dibrell 60 shares: H. L. Boot-! wrlght, 60 shares; Sterling Smith,! 60 shares. The Thompson-Branton Company, of Shelby, was incorpor ated. The purpose of the corpora tion is to manufacture sash, doors, blinds and all manner and kinds of building material. The authorized capital stock is $10,000. Will com mence basiness on $4,500. - Charlotte Chronicle: "Lucky" Joe Wilson, of Watauga county, died in jal at Statesville, a few days ago. Governor Glenn had granted a pardon for tbe man, but wben the pardon reached Statesville Lucky Joe was dead. The Landmark quotes Wilson's attorneys as ' saying that the sentence was excessive and il legal from the fact that he was con victed in three cases, one being an assault with a deadly weapon and the other two simple assaults. For the first he was sentenced to a year and for tbe others two years each, while they insist that he could not be legally sentenced to more than 30 days each for the simple asiaulta. But Lucky Joe, although wealthy, wab known as a bad man, and It was to his bad reputation that his heavy sentence was due. A dispatch from Statesville on Friday says: "Mr. J. P. Burke re ceived letters to-day from a number of relatives bringing the informa tion that he and his sisters, Mrs. Carr and Misses Joe and Ada Burke, are among the heirs to property in New York city said to be worth $300,000,000. : In 1795 Andrew Hartsfield, one of the ancestors of these people, leased i to the city of New York 160 acres of land, ex tending from Seventy fifth street to One Hundred and Twenty-first street, and from the North river al most to tbe East river in New York. A great many of the: heirs to the es tate live in North Carolina. If the es tate should prove to be a reality Mr. Burke and hir sisters, would proba bly get several millions.. To day .is the first time Mr. Burke ever heard of the matter and he doesn't know whether it amounts to anything. i Baleigh News and Observer: After a splendid fight for a repeal of all the loose divorce laws in North Carolina, with, a great vic tory assured, the House made a mistake in adding a new cause for divorce. It is an open secret that this new cause was added to meet a particular case-a grievouse case, but one in which the suffering wife does not live with her husband and where she is under the present laws unable to get a divorce from bed and board. If any additional cause is to be addedthat particular case and that cause is one. that has more merit than any other one brought forward, but we do not believe that this Legislature ought to add any additional cause, , and particularly that it should not - make a general law to meet a single case of hard' ship. If that is done in one in stance, others will follow and there is grave danger that others will be incorporated and that the strong sentiment against loose divorce laws wilt not result in legislation that Will meet the request of the 400. 000 petitioners to this General As sembly.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous uri nary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how, this great change can be brought about will prore comforting words to hundreds of Wilmington readers.! E A. Biddle, clerk at 19 Market street, residing at 606 Castle street, says: "I used Doan'a Kidney Pills myself for kidney trouble and my wife who alto suffered from back ache also nsed them. I never knew anything to act so quickly. I have suffered quite along time with my back and kidneys. The kidney se cretions were very dark and fnli of sediment. My wife also complained of her back, and wben we read of uoan's Juaney rills in our news papers I went to B. B. Bellamy's drag store and got a box. We nsed them with the best results. In my case the kidney secret iona cleared up and the pains left my back. We have neither of tjs complained since taking Doan'a Kidney Pills, and it is with pleasure that I recommend them at every opportunity." For sale by all dealers. Price .50 cents peri box.
