There are some people j who would live in a poisooed 1 atmoppfcere-. and :. woiiM trv to flatter themselves that they were breathing tb pnrest air and getting along "swimmingly." Tbtv shut tUeir eves to facts and are content to have, things jas they are without making an effort to improve their surroundings of to gather a new leaee upon life. To cure an evil ot anty kind you must know it exists. To apply; remedy wisely yon muss understand the i.ature of the dieease. There can bo do sound public health without pure water, proper sewage; ana pure air. We have access health journals and we to several i often exam- ioe them. It is our doty to have some knowledge of . sanitation and health . - ... i , . - i recorai-1, ara it is a duty we owe our patrols to give them the results of any examination we may make. A new Board of 'Aide men is soon to have charge, and we invite them to one examination L ;t them re quest the health officer, our friend Dr. Potter, to furnish them the health statistics of Wilmington since 1S78, year by year, with the average death rate for each year They will find matter in the report, worthy of their attention. In this connection we wish to Bay distinctly that all men o science and the beat authorities in Europe and America on sanitation insist that without pure water there sound health; and that foul water is the greatest Bource of danger to the public health. There are no two opin ions as lo this point, v . Whenever there is an increase of the death rate in any community yon may be sure that there is a cause for it. Science ought to bej able to de tect this cause,-or, it may W, causes. But the water question is no doubt the most important one. I n much of the water drunk there are micro or ganisras of infinite numbe r.. It was stated the other day at the meeting in New York of the American Chem ical Society that in the Croton River water used in New f York city there were "an abundance r of floca- lent impurities, of organic pollution, e moving condemn and of living and visih form?, amply sufficient to 1 any water. In this im etine some one or two members thought that the people should not know what bad water they were drinking. m fiat the gen eral b'-dko of tli chemists was that it was their duly to tell the truth, the wholes t'ruth - that withoot this the rerae iy jwould liot and cjonld not be applied.

I You must favor what they think is best and not what you think is ; best or neglectful of the interests yon are of Wil- mington and do not "boom" it Sach taiic as this comes to our ears now and then, but it is not necessarily jhst or correct talk. Tbe Stab copies tbe 1 remainder of Col. Pardee's letter to day that con cerns an industry that is j attracting attention. . The need of tbe Sontb,as the Stab has often pointed ont, is a multiplying of industries. The peo ple of Torth Carolina must of course rely on farming for genuine prosper ity. That is the true' jbasis of all sound thrift and progress. A State may thrive on manufacturing only, hut ft will be at the expense of all other peoples. The people of our State must rely chiefly on- the farms, but the point is to cultivate them so ae to bring in the best; and most re munerative results. All cotton or all woacco will not do.

COTTOSI IEBD OIK, KIILI.S AITD 'LARD. It seems that if -Armour & Co. have abandoned the . purpose of building cotton seed oil mills in the South thai another company calling itself the j Southern Cotton Seed Oil Co. will erect mills at various points. This will tend to break the monopoly of the all-grasping company that has charge now. We hope the new com pany will not be absorbed by the old company. If we are to have cot ton seed lard let us have competition, for by that means fhe planters will realize better ; prices and the con sumers may possibly get purer lard. 'As mentioned before, about one fifth of t le eo called lard is cotton seed oil.. There is a law in Illinois that is intended to proteot consumers against fcod adulterations, and Ar mour and the others ought to be in dicted for tbe manufacture of a spu rious lard compound j. The New York Times gives the law. ' We quote: j .7 -:. ' v ';' -'" "By section 471, chaper 33, Revised Sta tutes ot Illinois, it is forbidden 'to mix.co" lor, or powder any article of food with any ingredient or material either rendering the article injurious to -health tr depreciating teration of lard with cotton seed oil, for the oil is used because it is cheaper than the lard which it displaces. By section 473 of the same chanter it is forbidden 'to mix. color, stain or powder any food with any material, whether injurious or not, unless the same be manuiacturea, used, or sold. or offered for 'sale under its true and appro priate name, and notice that the came is mixed or impure is marxed, primed or stamped upon every parcel containing the same, cr unless iniormauon or me true na ture and name of the article be given the buyer at the time of Bale." Do Armour & Co. and other firms that adulterate lard with cotton seed oil mark every parcel of their product so that the buyer Ehall know that it has been so adulterated? Did any one ever see a package of lard bearing a mark stating that a large percentage of the contents was cotton seed oil? Evidently tbis section has been violated We copy this that legislators may see now . Illinois see&s to guara against feed adulterations. But the law is empty and .valueless unless enforced. ; If an extra session of the North Carolina Legislature should be called the members should certainly give due attention to food adultera tions and do what is possible to pre vent tbe tale of spurious, fraudulent compcund. j v I ' HELPING TAB FABIHEBS. A scheme has been placed on foot ia Greenville, 8. C , which ia designed to be a benefit to tbe farming class. The plan is to organize a company with a capital of $50,000 to $100,000, to do a large supply and brokerage business, furnishing farmers with pr visions on safe securities, discount; ing paper, making loans on real estate, se-t curity, &c. It would be, ia other words, a "supply and credit company." especially for the -farmers Charlotte Observer.' ; This is a capital idea. It is a won der that it is not adopted in every community in the South. There are "oceans" f money in tbe rich North. It can be got if sought for in the right way. This writer has received letters inquiring where money can be borrowed; and how to get it from the North. If the " Greenville : scheme was adopted and worked by trust worthy and just men, jwho were wil- lintf to live and let live, a benevolent and important work would be done. The farmers laDormg unaer tue severe strain ana- aistress.-oi iow.; prices and indifferent crops are badly handicapped. They need assistance. They are forced to mortgage to get j help, and this help is only secured by paying two, three, four prices for the same If oompanies were organ ized with capital to" supply farmers: at 6 or ? per cent, or less, what a tre mendous! boon, and what a vast' say' ing to them. If they had the . ccwA they could buy supplies, &6., at 6 or 8 per cent, that now cost them 12, 15 or 20 or more per cent. The Greenvil e scheme is worth inquiring into.

It is impossible to say just how many persons were killed and injured; Dut ine number is large. Twelve are believed lo have lost their lives The rapidity of the fire rutting off the means ,f escape led some lb leap for life from tbe windows. Others got down fire-etcapeS and ladders raised by the fire department. The shrieks and cries of the poor people in the upper stories of the burning structure were heartrending. One man, mad with terror, leaped from a third Hory window, and was picked up from the stone sidewalk on Main street a mangled corpse. Several who succeeded id making thelrescape were badly injured and burned, and some of these win probably die others, more ror tunate, escaped with slight injuries. There were las persons in the hotel; 70 of whom were transit guests, 8 boarder?,! and the re mainder porters, bell boys, families of pro prietors and clerks. Twenty-two of these were rescued- from windows by firemen. and a large number made their escape by otber means. , .- I . . The origin of tho fire is not as Vet known. William H . Alpert, night clerk says : "The fire started in the cloak room, under . the main stairway at 8 50 o'clock.) There was nobody up but myself, Joe the night porter, and Plummer, the bell-boy. I pulled all four ot the. fire alarms on the different floors and the people came flying down stairs ia their night clothes. The fire fol lowed the stairways and elevator, and in side of five minutes reached the top floor. I rushed out of doors after doing all I could." ,: - - - - - j- .- - - The spread of the flames is said to have been frightful in its rapidity. The elevator shaft served as a flue for ihe flames, and they rushed up it to the top floor in a very few minutes. As tbe guests were roused and saw the interior exits cut off, they turned to the windows. They could be seen in their night clothes standing out clear and vivid before the lurid background of names. . Their screams were horn bio to hear, and they could be heard) for blocks" The flames spread to the southeast side of the hotel first. The firemen did noble work and confined the fire to tbe narrow limits of the three buildings named. Their work of rescue bad many exciting incidents, t Tele graph wires were as usual in the way of the ladder brigade and much .valuable time was lost in getting ladders past them! ; Among the guests in the hotel were about twenty insurance aeii who Lad come on to adjust the losses of tbe great fire at Mil ler, Greiner & Co.'s, and the Courier office of Tuesday. ' . -. '' . . ,.' -- Perhaps the most thrilling escape of any was that of President Whitaker. step-son of proprietor Stafford. He roomed i in the fifth story, and when aroused stepped to the window ana looked down for i a few seconds, then he deliberately dressed him self and emerging from the window stood on the stone coping above the window be neath. From this coping he stepped to the next one along the front ! of the build ing and proceeded in this manner to the Hayes truck ladder, at the other extremity of the front.
