RACE SUICIDE. The question of race suicide ai it affects a nati n’s material wel fare is brought to the front by th( statement of a Berlin economist that, for the first time iu history, the national wealth ot Germany li iS outstripped that of France, once t he richest of nations. The industrial groAvth of Ger many in the last quarter centun one of the marvels of modern History, aud France is not th< only nation to suffer by coin pari son. There is, indeed, no oibei nation which has equaled Jthc strides made by the Kaiser’s em pile during that period except, o course,‘the United Sta es And conditions here are so ai together different from thus * th .obtain in any European country that conclusions drawn from com parisons would’he of very littk worth. Our territory is so vast that the-antire population of Ger many might be put into one of our larger States without crowding: our resources are only in the in fancy of their development, and there is pouring into our ports a title of immigration at the rate of a million a ye >r. (hi the other haud, France and Germany lie side by side, under similar climatic conditions, with natural resources at the same stage of development ai d having about the same reserve power in the earth. Neither is fed by immigra tion to any appreciable extent. Both have highly centralized pa ternal governments. Yet in a few years Germany, which was .once one of the poorest of nations, has outstripped France one of the very richest. That this is due in a certain measure to the superior economic policy of the Teutons -is uot to be denied, but that it is largely founded on the natural increase in population is almost a self evident fact. The census of 1900 showed that Germany had increased in popu lation by 400,000 in five years, while in the five years preceding France’s census of 1901 there ha i been an increase of but 400,000. The net result through a period of years is shown iu the growth oi the two countries since 185(1. At that time that territory now em braced in the empire had a popu lation about equal t$ that of France. In the meantime Germany increased £7,000,000, wh:le Frarce's growth has been but 4,000,000.

Saving only for the fact that one is a peninsula and the other a gr««uj». of islands by far the most striking similarity iu <ontom* ex ists between Italy and New Zea land. The resemblance of each of them to a high heeled Wellington bool is almost perfect. Cape dell’ Armi and < ape Reinga form the tops of the two boots. The bay of Plenty, in New Zealand, and the gati or Taranto, iu Italy, form the instep. While Cape Runaway and Cape Santa Maria di Leuco are respectively toe poiuts of the heels. The general shape of the calf of the leg is also the same,and so is the curve outward to the somewhat gouty looking toe. The point of dissimilarity is, of course, the -separation of North and South islands in twoT It is easy, however, to see that if these two islands were somewhat raised they would become one and"would, then even more resemble the Ital ian peninsula than ihey do tow'. A comparison of the islands of Ireland and Sardinia will also show several points of resemblance, but this is nothing like so str kiug as ids in the c ase of the two widely separ ated portions of the w orld abovj mentioned. .

Some of them are so simple that by carrying them out at a parlor entertainment a bright boy could achieve the reputation of a magician. Now, there are those curious little bubbles of glass known variously as ‘Prince Ru pert’s drops’ and as ‘Dutch tears.’ Apparently they are merely little globules of glass with elon gated tails made by heating a small glass rod in a tiapie and allowing the molten drops to fall into water. After they have cooled you may pound the thick part with a hammer or mallet, yet you can not break them. On the other hand, if you break a little piece off their tails or touch any part of them with a quartz crystal they will disappear into the surround ing atmosphere quicker than snow will melt on a hot fire.

CASTOR IA For Infant* and Cbifclrea. TUI Kind You Ha»e Always Bought HARD TO EQUAL, IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT Of course everybody has beer | watching with the utmost interest , the progress of the battleship fleel now ou ifs way to the Pacific. The first leg of the voyage-was finished at Port of Spain in the British is land of Trinidad and the second is now complete by the arrival at Brazil where the government au thorities in Kid flu .Taoeiro are laying theinsbltis out to do honor to the fleet. Between New York and Rio there has been but one day lost from the' schedule. This was due, it is said to defective coal shipped at Tiinidad. This speaks pretty well for the' engin eering end of the fleet, especially in view of the criticism that has recently been leveled at the Navy. But one of the equally pleasing things is the compliment that was paid the men by the Governor of Trinidad. The arrival of the fleet there was greeted with complete official courtesy but with mighty little general enthusiasm. It is hard to sav just what the residents ot the island expected, but per haps their experience with sailors of their own and other nationali ties was not such as so cause them to welcome 15,000 strange sailors beiugifurned loose affiore iu large batches. It is fair to say t'»at Jack ashore is not always the most de sirable citizen. But the men of the American fleet seem to have been on f xtra good behavior and before the squadron 'was ready to sail, they had been made thoroughly welcome in Trnidad. Before the vessel^ sailed, Gov. Jackson of Trinidad wrote a letter to Admiral Evaifls, commenting among other things, on the conduct of the sail ors ashore. A part of this letter the Admiral signalled fo 1 he vcs~ sels after they were under way. The comment of the Governor on the men was that while on shore, they* bad established a record that “would be hard to equal and im possible to beat.” That is ihe sort of au endorsement that -the Amer ican v people would like to hear from every port at which the fleet touches. There is more than a little relation between that sort of discipline and sobriety and the ability to attend sirictiy to the business that a navy is bui’t for. Good work, Jack, kee) it upK ROADS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED. Editor Southerner: \ I do not agree with Dr. Speight, there has been improvt ment in the condition of our public roads since the present method of work ing them has been m vogue. The average width has been increased from f6 to 20 leet. They have been raised in the center with drains on either side. In the main, ditches! have been""cut looking to their better drainage, though these to day are in a sadly neglected con dition and this.w'ithout excuse, j The bridges spanning the roads taken as an entirety are 100 per cent better, though my last trip to our county site showed Bell’s bridge spanning the river, not oil ly a disgrace to civilization, but should have subjected the board of county commissioners to an in dictment. It is not the system that is ar fault, but there is big room for improvement in its execution. Let’s retain the method, but improve upon its-operation. 1 agree with you Mr. Editor, there should be a larger system, the civil engineer-should be called in to play, practical men placed be hind it. .I M.

SOLITUDE CONDUCIVE TO LONGEVITY? After a life of solitnde, with not a soul allowed to remain in the hoifte overnight for the last quar ter of a century, Miss Margaret Ham, an eccentric recluse, ninety years of age, died at her home in Mecklenberg county, this State. She was the lasf of four sisters,ail of whom had taken a vow never to marry. Theix parents died when they were very young, the oldest being but sixteen years of age, sii ce which time they oc cupied the old mansion of thx? family with never a man even to care for the horses. One by one the sisters died uutil onlj Margaret was left, nnd she survived for more than twenty years. When the infirmities of age became too heavy lelatives in the neighborhood supplied her needs, but she refused to allow eveu a eousiu to remain overnight under her roof.—Louisville Dispatch to the New York Herald. JAPAN’S INTERNAL PROBLEMS. Whatever may be the inside in fluences that have brought around the changes iu the ministry of the Emperor of Japan, it is probable that these w ill lead to a somewhat more conserve economical policy, especially with regard to governmental expenditures iu industrial enterprises. * — It was announced in the middle of December that a considerable retrenchment had been decided on in military and naval expenses, in order/to secure funds for industrial development. Retrenchment in the latter direction also nowseqms to be demandad. On the face of the official statements, the financial condition of Japan does not seem uupromising. The-budget for the year 1907-8 showed an equality of receipts and expenditures, about $250,000,000 eachj with $74,000, 000 for interest and for reduction of debt. But this amount of rev enue, regarded as the product of a population jnostly agricultural, rather densely gathered—the pop ulation is 48,000,000, with an average of 317 to the square mile, about twice that of the State of New York—is necessarily burden some. The cost of the war with Russia is estimated at about the present amount of the debt, $940, 000,000 and of this debt lather more than one halfis held abroad. In face of these facts conservative action if not uow enforced is bound soon to become imperative. It must be remembered that, apart from the burden caused by the war, and By the maintenance of the military and naval estab-. lhrhment imposed* by the position and the ambitions of the empire Japan has on its hands the devel opment of Korea, the promotion of its interests in Manchuria, and the management of Formosa’ each of then a relatively novel ai d exacting task. The problem for her statesmen i? the balance be tween projects that promise^ be produc ivc in the Ion* run, and the ability of her people to supply the needed capital f*r these, and the funds required for current ex penditure. 1 his delieate and uiffi cult work will not be rendered easier by the natural movements of opinion and sentiment among a population relatively unused to the exeibise of political power, and more or less excited by the experiences of a heroic war and a (tremendous victory.—New York Press.

A SUCCESSFUt AND ENJOYED CONCERT. Mrs. Lee Cohen enjoyed a triumph last evening in managing the concert for the Rdgecombe Guards Juniors. She was ably as sisted by Mis. W. M. Arnbeim, who as«iste<i iu the -training and Accompanied on the piano, and G, Pennington and Paul McCabe on the violiu. - She has*a talent for teaching the juveniles aud when she does they never fail to do her credit. Lieut. Carlisle who commands the juniors is bo h dated and grateful for the pronounced success of the enter tainment in every way for it was a success both ftom a financial as well as from a histrionic point of view. The audience was a large one and was enthusiastic from the be ginning to the and even now for that matter. The opening number was most pleasing and just what the pro gramme said. The young ladies were all diligently at work picking cotton, all the while singing “Old Black Joe” and “My Old Ken tucky Home. ” The scene was made more natural with a pony hitched to cart hauling baskets of cotton that the lovely:nymphs of the cot ton patch were supposed to have picked. Joe Peunington joined the chorus-from the main entrance to the opera house, advancing down the aisle, singingnmid the vocifer ous, hearty grettings of everyone present. The Dutch dialogue by the Williamson brothers thoroughly pleased the audience, their Dutch brogue and acting fitting so well with their makeup, as middle aged saner krauters thongh dimin utive as to size, kept all laughing and applauding. • One of the most enjoyed num bers was the song, “Capf. Willie Bryan,” by a chorus of 6mail girls and a platoon of the Junior Guards The girls, all in white, first sang, then marched in the Juniors, who, after going through several creditable evolutions, siog ihgall the time, were joined, by the little misses and lfien there was more more marching and wheel ing and counter-marching, and more hand-clapping and cheering and other evidences of approval. “Little Miss Gladys Cohen as a smalHiut typical burnt cork Dinah displayed inimitible grace and de cided talent both in singing and acting in her song, “I’d like a little loving now and then.” The aid folks and in fact all who jnjoy children and their ways of imitating their elders thoroughly enjoyed the “Sick Baby” dialogue. Dollie was sick mother, summoned the doctor over t e phone who promptly responded and wrote out his prescription and then fol lowed the moiher taking u;> her infant and singing a lullaby. Touch ingly Bweet. Joe Penniugon was in excellent voice and his melodious-baiitone filled when he Sang “A pretty gul a Summer,s.Night.r’ For volume of applause the next number stood -first. No colon d sport was uevyer arrayed to excel! James E. Simmons to do his char acter stunt while Mrs. Lee Cohen sang *The bee that gets the honey doesn’t hang aro imEthe hive.” > Mis. Cohen is par excellence especially In ragtime songs and she never was better nor more appre ciated. There was more good sioging with appropriate expression and gesture when piquant Mrs. Harry GINNERS’ REPORT. The C asus Bureau gives the number < f bales of cotton ginned irf 10,387,607. This makes the ginning for the number of bales '.'iir ed f>om January 1st to 16th incisive 382, 00 against 416,000 last ) car a- d 264,000 in 1906. The crop as ginued is 1,730,000 less th ui last year when a crop of 13,576,000 bales were made spid 350,tik)d more than the crop 1905 and ’06, whose total was 10,804, 000 bales. To January 16th last year, 89 1-2 p- r Cent of the Crop had been ginned. For the year previous 92 1^2 per c^nt with last year’s percentage as a basis the crop would be 11,550,000 or two mil lion bales less. With the percentage of the year before,_tlie crop would be 11,170,000. There is nothing in the several reports to indicate that at any future sub-periods will the giuhings eqaal these of last year, but that they may continue to ex ceed those for the year prior to that. So guessing on the number of bales to those interested should be attractive. It is not as we have said, to be expected that as much cotton remains to be ginned as last year 1,409,000, though there may be rndre than remained unginned after January 15th, 1906, 9157060 bales. If the cotton yet to be ginned of last year’s crop should exceed 1,200 OOd this writer wonld b e surprised, though he believes that the number will exceed 1,000,000. If financial conditions were norma), cotton should be selling for 15 cents or more. EeWitt's Carbolized Witch Haz el Salve is especially recoinuieuded for piles i Sold by E. E. L. Cook. Smith and Joe Penpington sang “How would you Tike to have me for a sweetheart.” Miss Lucy Gray Gatlin was on the programme for a duet but the grip took her at the last moment. Her younger ssster, little Frances most charmingly and successfully took her part doing as well-in this as she did in the song “Stingy ”for which she was assigned. If the reporter had to designated ;he Star of the evening he would name Aldine Bosenbaum. She has a wonderfully swe t, clear voice with a face equally as sweet and altogether attVactive.

Ait Interesting interview was re cently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the young mgn whose theory and medi cines have created such a sensation during the past year. Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re markable success of his medicine had this to say on the subject: “My medi cine regulates the atomach. That is why it is successful. The human stom ach today has become degenerate, and Is the cause for most ill health. In the horse, the dog, and the wild ani mals generally, you see no nerve ex haustion, no chronic debility. They are not shut up day after day with practically no exercise, and they are not able to stuff themselves with food whenjtheir bodies have not had enough work to justify it. The human race has been doing this for years, and look at the result—half the people are complaining of poor health, not real illndss—just a half-sick, tired, droopy feeling. They* don’t really know what Is the matter with- them, “I know that all the trouble is caused by weak, overworked stom achs. I have proved this with my medicine to many thousands of peo ple in most of the leading cities of this country. I expect to do the same thing in Eusope next year. This is the real reason for the demand for my preparation.” Among those who have recently been converted to Cooper’s theory is Mr. Monroe Brown of 8 Hancock Street Winchester, Mass. Mr. Brown has this to say of his experience with A CHANCE FOR HER. Be still, my palpitating heart (The lady softly said), The star of hope'in pantaloons Looms largely jnst ahead. / This is the year arranged lor us By nature’s generous plan, When, if Ido not lose my nerve, I may secure a man.

F* Thomasson, cashier of the First National Bank of Hatties burg, by James Harper and W. T. Smith, bank robbers, brought back from Seattle, where they were caught after a long chase. Harper says the bank cashier walked in his sleep. He and Smith Watched the bank for several nights according to their confession, and frequently witnessed Thomasson enter with the aid^of his doorkey. They never dreamed that he was not in fall possessiQn of his senses until they saw him under an electric light with his eyes closed.

News comes from the republic of Liberia, in Africa, a country inhabited, owned and governed by negroes, that affairs are in such a shape that some of the powers of the world (presumably some of the white powers) will have to take charge of the country iu its own interest and that of the world at large. Every experiment tried so far has shown conclusively that the negro left to himself is incapa ble of self government. The only negro governments that have stood for any considerable length of time are those where the rule is the worst and most oppressive form of despotism; where the subjects are really slaves, their property and lives being at the command of the ruler.
