That the jroject fo^, Unking Flor

It meant* It will keep hands off of

the Norfolk-Carolina route question,
which has cauaed much talk In Prov
' Idenco bobs ap at the public hearing
f by the government engineers, going
?>. over thfc route, to give e*cb commun

the Norfolk hearing Taeeday.
The government engineers in their
first report favored an entirely new
route, a ttralght line from Norfolk
to Albemarle sound. A second report
favored Albemarle snd Chesapeako

The Dismal Bwamp advocates hold
that the opining of Albemarle and

The Tvitil.j D.p.rtn?nt offer. a
thorough pr?ctk?I Im'nlnjt to young
moo who ?Uh to m?k? tbe mill busl
ines* their profession 1 3 I
8uch training a* g.vej, |a thor*
oughly practical, ^h,? Because the
Textile Department is equipped wllffl
?11 tbe different machines used In a
cotton mill, and because of these
'facilities offers to a young man the
W. mean, of studying the the
|orr of cotton manufacturing and at
the same time providing thorough
practical Instruction.
First. Tbe young man Is guided
In his studies systematically So asl
to get the best results from his work.I
H?-ls also taught to observe results!
so jhat the very smallest, minutest
detail is none too small for hi, at
tention In the mill business the
very small, minute thiags. which
singly appear to be aothlng, collec
tively assume a different aspect aad
are the cause of profit or loss, as it
la only the trained aad e*erlencsd
man who can (fetest these things*
Second The student Is instructed
Bow to make the us n weary calculi
tttros that are in cobstant use in the
mills, such as draft, twist in yarns,
tension, lay. production etc. Differ
ent numbers ?f yarn are then made
by each student who works otyt his
own calculations, makes all tb? nec
essary changes, and then produces
the different sites of yarns on the
machines. "
Fourth. Textile students are
taught how to plain print cloth
and sheeting to the fanciest cotton
fabrics that are made. The students
make i!iese fabrics from their own
designs and cofo rings and produce
such fabrics as atrlpo nnd check
jj ginghams. madras, vesting*, ahlrt
[ walstlngs. white and colored jtess
[goods, table napkins, table efoths
etc
| Fifth. A careful training 18.&1ko
I given In bleaching and dyeing yarns
I fabrics. The Textile Department has
In well-equipped labor?ory and pra?.
I tlcal dye-houM) for both experiment
jal and practical dyeing. Bach atn
| dent keeps a record in his iwtteru
I .book of all the work done, aud this
makes a reference book of useful and
I reliable information, especially as
I Die methods of bleaching und dyeing
have* been so arranged as to be ap
plicable to actual practlval needs
J Sixth. The studies and work of tex
tll? students comprise not only those
(which bear directly on textile wbrk,
(but also those which go to make
I well-rounded man. such a,, forge of
(engines and boilers, and a genera]
I education In English and Mathemat
ics, thereby emphasizing the devel
I opment of the man.
I Seventh. That the training given
textile students la broad In its na
| ture and thoroughly practical is ev
idenced by the different positions
I held by its former students. Among
Ithese are the following: Cotton Alll
Superintendents. Ovbrseers, Second
I Hauds, Section Hands. Mill Purchas
ing Agents. Overseers and Expert*
I in dyeing. Chemists. Machinery

New York. Sept. 2.?Following
the releaa0 of the liner Lualtxnla
this morning after it had be**n held
a night at quarantine It was learn
ed that the government's fight to
bar the Introduction of cholera In
American will be th-> hardest cam
paign of the kind It has ever wag
(?4.
Every incoming steamer from Eu
jrope will be subjected to an unpr*
cedentedly severe examination, jnd
jthe bars are down lower and firmer
1 than they have been before. The*t
| precaution, will be taken In every
port la the country.
j It was declsred on gooi nutter l
ty today that the health authoring
had received secret advices saying
that many suspects and victims ot
cholera had fled from their European
homes, with the Intent'cn ot seeking
a refuge in the United State*.
Dr.' Doty, the health officer who
held up the Lnsitanla after she ftfcd
started for her dock said today:
"We are not guarding simply
against those ports uear towns where
cholera Is known to have broke'',
out. '
"Every possiblo precaution will
be taker.--and is being takeis if.
keep America safe. No atea^M w:ll
exruped a rigid examination. A* sus
piciously 111 passenger will he trt'Ht-;
ed the same, no matter on uh.it ?hlp
or what class he comes."
With cholera prevalent in four
European countries, and Wh<ni*'i
plague also making its appe.? i-icj
ia Russia, tho situation requires the'
utmost precaution, according 10 tin*
authorities.
Particular efforts are beln? midei
to prevont tii** introduction or ?hr.
disease on ahips from Trieste in.-1
cause of the outbreak of an .#:?ldemlC|
in Austria.
Though t'ne situation is reported J
as improving in Germany and IChl>. i
no chance will be taken In regard
to passengers from those countries
and the Inception of Russian*! luts
