C, April 3 The Massachu setts' mill men who are traveling in the South are being utterly astonished by the manifestations of good will being made to them by Southern people. Mr. D. A. Tompkins, under whose direc tion the trip is being made, receives each lay thirty to. forty telegramsffrom Southern cities inviting the party to visit them. The trip is the outcome of the agitation in Ne w England, and especially in Massachu setts, of the matter of -competition of South ern mills in textile manufacture. Various laws bearing upon this subject were under consideration before the Committee on Mer cantile Affairs of the Massachusetts Legis lature. Mr. Lovering made an argument in which he set up Southern competition as cne reason why the Massachusetts Legisla ture, should go slow in makiDg any laws that might have a tendency to drive New England capital to the South. A few weeks ago he wrote for the Jfanu- factureri Jiecord a special article on the sub ject which brought him into correspondence through the editor with Mr. D. A: Tomp kins, of Charlotte, N. C. In consequence of a conversation about the South's advan tages, Mr. Tompkins invited Mr. Lovering to make a trip South. In speaking of thi3 invitation to Mr. E. St. John, vice-rjresident of the Seaboard Air Line, the latter ampli fied it to be one from the Seaboard Air Line to Mr. Xovering and several friends he might select, the party to become the guests of Mr. St. John's road. While these arrangements were perfecting the Commit tee on Mercantile Affairs concluded also to make a trip to the South, The legislative committee's trip was completed about two weeks ago. The impression produced on the minds of these men (Mr. Loverins party) will prob ably determine the direction of the invest ment of much capital. So far, the mill men are well pleased. They find advantages greater than they had expected. While they had not looked for any unfriendly disposition, yet the number of invitations they , are getting produees a very pleasant impression and will dissipate the slightest misgivings they might have had about the character of reception New England mill men would receive in coming South. After inspecting Henrietta mills- to-day the visitors returned to Charlotte to-night and left via. the Southern railway for mill points in South Carolina, NEW ENGLAND PILGRIMS. They Still Find Much to Interest Them at the South Their Visit at Vanderbiit's Magnificent Es tate Near Asheville. Gharlotte, N. C, April 5. The Massachu setts mill committee has completed its in spection of the four largest mills in South Carolina and arrived in Charlotte to-night on its way to Columbia, S. C, and Augusta Ga. The committee continues to find much that is of interest and freely express them selves as pleased with the conditions that exist in the South. It was the desire of several of the party while in this territory to visit Asheville, N. C, and the Southern railway extended a cordial invitation to the committee to visit that resort. The special arrived in Ashe ville at midnight and bright and early this morning the party went to the Battery Park hotel for an early breakfast, and on the way up caught an impression of Asheville. From the hotel ,the party then went on its special train to Biltmore, which is pronosed to be the most magnificent residential estate in existence. The millions of Mr. George W. Vanderbilt that have already been spent in the build ing of this property are manifest on every side. There are about 500 hands employed on the estate at this time and the work on the palatial residence is being pushed in order that Mr. Vanderbilt might be able to eat his Christmas dinner in it. The mill men did not have over an hour to spend at Biltmore, but in that time, through the courtesy of Mr. Vandeabilt's representative, were shown through the premises which, when completed, will cost considerably over 15,000,000. the total estate, with its 100,000 acres of land costing double that. There seems to be no limit to the improvements proposed by Mr. Vanderbilt, and Asheville and that section is deriving considerable revenue from his work. The party made a quick trip back to Spartansburg, where, through the courtesy of President Montgomery, the operations of the Spartan mills were shown. This mill operates 32,102 spindles and 1,100 looms, with 650 operatives. The party then went to Clifton, where the oldest of the large South Carolina cotton mills is built. Fourteen years ago Mr. D. E. Converse started out with a 7,000 spindle factory, which has, in the meantime, been enlarged by the addition of another mill to 51,000 spindles, and. added to this, the Clif ton Manufacturing company is at work upon an entirely new mill, which will operate 30,000 spindles. At Glendale the D. E. Converse Manu facturing company operates a 17,000 spindle factory. At all of these mills sheetings, shirtings and jdrills are most profitably made. The mill committee, which is bent upon gatering all the information Jit can, does not have much to say, but it is f ulfilling its mission in getting all of the data it can, and as the mill owners are practical business men, they are not taking a one-sided view of the situation. Most of the committee are preparing notes upon the conditions exist ing in the mills they have yisited, which are representatve of those in this section. Mr. E. St. John, vice president of the Sea board Air Line, and to whom is due very much of the success of the undertaking, will join the party at Columbia, where the morning will be spent. President R. C. Hoffman twill also join the party at Co lumbia. Mr. O, H. Sampson, of Boston, who is largely interested in Southern cotton mills, joined the party at Spartanburg to-day. Mr. C. W. Amory, who has been with the party up to this time, returned to Boston from Asheville on account of his indisposition. Mr. Fred Oliver, president of the Charlotte Oil and Fertilizer company, left the party at Charlotte. Mr. William Lovering, who is president of the Arkwright club, and one of the larges mill men in the East, and who is in charge of the party, to-night said to the correspon dent of the Xews and Courier in reference to the trip: "We have already visited mills represent ing several hundred thousand spindles, most of them working on the same clas3 of goods, namely, standard sheetings and drills. As a rule they were all making very fair goods and it is evident that they have been able to market them at a profit during the last year, while some of the Northern mills have on similar goods made but little or no profit. We continue to be impressed by the appearance of the operatives, who seem to be vigorous and earnest in the work." The committee is making diligent inquiry to get at the details of the Southern cotton mill business. Movements of Our! Cruisers. Washington, April 6.

NEW ENGLAND LULL MEN Inspect the Splendid Mills of Colum bia and Augusta The Superior Condition of Labor in South era Mills a- Surprise to Them. i Augusta, Ga., April 6. The Massachu setts mill committee closed its week of in cpecticg Southern cotton mills by visiting the mill districts at Columbia, S. C, and Augusta, Ga. The committee continues to find very much that is interesting and in structive. As each day goes along the East ern mill owners appreciate the conditions in the South all the better and there is perfect freedom among them in admitting the busi ness like appearance of the mills in the Somthern territory. The one thing that ia most observed and commented upon by them is the superior condition of the labor as well as the outlook that it will continue to be of native growth for some time to cdmeL The committeespent the morning much to its delight, in Columbia. The mill mtri were very quick to appreciate the wonderful facilities and natural advantages of Colum bia. J ' From the Columbia's mills the party were taken on a drive through the city and wound up Dy being taken to the city hall, where an informal luncheon was served. j Mr. Thomas Motley, who represents the Chicopee, the Saratoga and the Victory mills, and who has been with the party since it left New England, in talking of his impressions with the Southern Associated Press correspondent, said: ''We are very much pleased with the hos pitality shown us as well as the interest manifested in our visit In Columbia they certainly have great facilities for water power and the Columbia mill is of great in terest to those connected with and inter ested in manufacture. They appear to havje demonstrated the fact that power could bte transmitted by electricity." Tne party was joined at Columbia upon the invitation of Mr. D. A. Thompkins, bf Senator Tillman, W. B. S. WThaley, presi dent of the Richland cotton mills; Editor N. G. Gonzales, of the Columbia Slate; C. H. Fisher, president of the Edgefield cotton oil mill, and D. M. Thompron, president of the Corliss steam engine works. President Heff man and Vice President St. John, of the Seaboard Air Line, were in Columbia awaiting the arrival of the party, and joined them for the rest of the trip. j Superintendent Berkley accompanied the committee on its ride over to Augusts over the line of the Southern railway. In Augusta the committee , were taken charge of by the Young Men's Business league!, Mayor Young and other prominent citizens. The committee was taken in a special td inspect two of the largest mills in Augusta. The Sibley mills were first visted, which operate 40,126 spindles and 1,112 looms and consumes sixty bales of cotton a day. From the Sibley mills the party went to the John P. King mill which is also operated by power furnished by the splendid canal. This mill is one of the most successful in the country and operates 40,000 spendle. In Augusta there was another reception and a good deal of speech making. WHERE WILL IT END. Still Another Blunder of The Legisla ture A Slip up on Magistrates. A law was passed by the last Legisla ture providing for tbe election of three additional magistrates in each township, their terms to commence on April 1st;, 1895. Few, if any, of these magistrates have qualified, and they cannot now do so. The offices created are vacant be cause of tbe failure of the persons elected to qualify before the term began. J The power to appoint magistrates, to fill vacancies caused by failure of thosb elected to qualify, is vested in the Gov ernor by chapter 288, laws of 1885, and he appoints for the full term of six years. ' - ' . ; "'.f :.' It is to late now for any clerk to qualify those appointed, and if they at tempt to qualify them their acts will be illegal. r The failure of the newly elected magis trates to qualify in time rids the people of the burden of 3,600 unnecessary mag istrates, and of about $25,000 for the pur chase of books, etc., for the new magis trates, which the Legislators intended to spend if they had known how. The people will have to thank the Lord, and not the Legislature, for riddinj? them of this burden which the Legisla ture voted upon them. Raleiqh News and Observer April 5. What Papers? The Raleigh News and Observer yester Bays:. j "Judge RusselJ,as he camein to the Park dining-room last night to dinner, looked like a patent float, with compartments air-tight. He laid some legal papers down by his plate, and opened his mouth only when he needed to, in his busines.

The Judge sai,d he was here to argue a case before tfcje Supreme court, and incidentlly said yes, he was attorney for "Judge" Cook.

Raleiga Hews and Observer, April 4th. The test case appealed to the Supreme court from Durham in which is involved the reach of the present mortgage law comes from Judge Green who read his decision as follows: The court having carefully read and considered this con- trovery without action and after hear ing argument of counsel, is of opinion and so ajudges here and now that G. C. Farthing is not entitled to have the mortgage set out the "controversy sub mitted" declared void, but on the con trary, that said mortgage is as operative and effectual to pass title as it would have been prior to the passage of the preference law by the recent Legisla ture." Speaking of the above decision yester day Capt. Cy. Watson in the midst of a conversation in the lobby of the Yarboro, eaid: "Ic appears to be a fictjetious case hastily gotton up, which does not pres ent the merits of the. question. "It ought to be dismissed and a real case presented which tests the power of the court to investigate the fraudulent report of the committee on Enrolled bills by which the presiding officers of the two houses were induced to sign and rat ify a bill which had never passed. It is a mighty droll way to make up a case," continued Capt. Watson, "and I think the Supreme court will affirm the judg ment of Green, but then the act will still be left a very vicious one. The parties responsible for the mischief, every one of them, is a ruined man unle 3s he gives a satisfactory explanation." Mr. Jones, one of Winston's prominent lawyers, said he thought the Supreme court would reverse Green, which shows that lawyers, as well as doctors, differ that is if the act i3 constructed the way it reads, . Another lawyer, probably one of a half dozen of the most distinguished lawyers in the State speaking collater ally on the subject said that crop liens, were good only for one year, and if a man is behind the merchant will not make any more advance, unless the farmer secures what he owes for the preceding year, but such security by mortgage would be void because it would involve a preference, and under the most liberal interpretation, this being the case, much hardship must be worked in any event. The Ways of Fusion. We take the following paragraphs from the Raleigh News and. Observer of yesterday: A good church brother from the coun try, who was until lately a Populist, said tc a reporter yesterday that he wished the "meetin' house" would sus pend the rules until he could "cuss" out thatd n fool Legislature. "Judge" Cook looked sad as he left yesterday: he seemed to be in a dead calm with his sails flapping, and spin naker a study irr? limpness. The wind that sped him on so' breezeJy as a Senator hed ceased to blow through his whis kers. Mrs. Pattie D. B. Arlington thinks that Campbell and Phillips were make drunk on "drugged whiskey." They will meet again when she has filed he r complaint. It is reported that her pa per, the Criminal Docket, will be revived. The story is told of a member of the Legislature who had a bill stolen two or three times that he finally took the bill over himself and when at the door drew a pi3tol and held it in f ront of the bill, saying, Til be if anyone gets this bill again."

DAUGHTERS CONFEDERACY. An Important Meeting in Nashville Wilmington Represented by Mrs. Parsley The Constitution Amended. The Nashville, Tenn., American, of April 1st say 8: Quite a body of National Daughters of the Confederacy met in the rooms of Frank Cheatham Bivouac Saturday morning in response to a call from the National President, Mrs. M. C. Goodlett, of this city, for the purpose of amending article 2, section 3, of the constitution of the organization. As it was a national meeting, there were delegates present from various parts of : the Union, from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, met on the middle ground of Tennessee. Article 2, section 3, of the constitution was so amended that the qualification now includes all widows, wives, sisters and lineal descendants of those who t served in the army, navy or civic service of the Confederate States, or those who, wherever living, gave personal aid to the cause. All those present were zealous in the determination to make the organization of Daughters of the Confederacy second to no organization in the United States. The interest manifested by the different sections represented shows how quickly the hearts of Southern women respond when called upon. Among the delegates present were: Mrs. E. H. Parsley, of Wilmington, N. C; Mrs. F. G. du Bignon and Miss Mary Lamar, of Savannah, Ga.; Miss Jose phine Eastland, of California: Mrs. Allison and Miss McCutchen of Jfick son, Tenn. Mrs. L. tf. Raines, of Savannah, Ga , first vice president of the national organization, was also present Everything incidental to the object of the meeting being transacted at the session held Saturday, the meeting ad journed. TheJ delegate s, however, 're mained in the city and will be hre until to-morrow. During their stay thus far they have been extended, all courtesies and hospitalities by local members, who have shown them places of interest in and about Nashville in connection with the history of the Condfederacy. To day the Nashville branch of the Daugh ters of the Confederacy will escort the visiting delegates to the Soldiers' Home, where they will be entertained. Mote and Beam. Editors Messenger: i In your issue of the 27th ult., alluding to a quotation from the Boston Journal, you say: "We shall soon turn on the light as to negro slavery, etc., in Massa chusetts in the long ago." Permit me to contribute the following as probably appropriate to your budget. It is an advertisement published in the New England Chronicle Boston, April 25, 1776.

In the Hartford, Conn., Courant of June 22, 1779, is an elaborate advertise ment of kindred nature, and the instan ces could be multiplied indefinitely, and to a much later date. Perhaps the in junction as to the mote and the beam" might apply in this connection. There is recorded in the clerk's office of Carteret county the papers in a trans action between John Shackelfqrd, of Beaufort, and hi3 commission merchant in Bo3ton, setting forth in full the de tails of a purchase of slaves, in self righteous Boston, by the "attentive" merchant, and their shipment to Beau 'fort for account of the said Shackelford.
