Yesterday The Messterrg'er Corrected the blundertnisr. unfair statement of JFhe PttfladeTphia' Record as to tthe jgreat increase of cotton milling and .th'e vastly Improved character of the mills, lof tihe -work, as owing1 entirely to northern capital and northern skill Ir . -paper of the pretention, of The Record to make (such a statjeroerit Is without excuse for It looks as If tnali olously false. The error or falsehood Ihias been so often rebuked and correct - ed ire 'the southern dailies' that a per tslrtency dn repeating tihe lie looks as If ""Ignorance was bliss" and It was un necessary to be fair and veracious Tvben dealing with the south and Its business. It hows an utter want of magnanimity and appreciation. The south Is the evil genius of the north, forever In Its way some how. If the Boutn 'does not prosper It is 'because of rhi or that lacking In southern men. a 'grave deficiency In wisdom, tact, energy, etc. If it succeeds or in any way 'threatens the supremacy of a pro duct in the north it Is not tihe Inert, Incapable southerners who are doing, but our own northern men who have moved in with their money, and so thte Bwift-footed lie travels and grows as It goes. Today we copy n'ooga Tradesman from The Chatta of the 1st instant, that reached us twenty-four hours af ter writing' our brief - correction Sn Sunday's Messenger. The Tradesman deals gently wft'h the offending Phila delphia daily. It says: "The statement that most, if not all of the 'new mills' erected to the south , are products of northern capital, Is far from true. Not one-fifth of the spindles placed south of the Ohio and Potomac, since 1S80, were placed by northern capital. Not one active spindle In eight in the south, is owned north,. or man aged by northern men. - In fact, the eastern trade turned up its nose at the southern cotton taianu f acturers, as something quite too crude, common and petty, for the notice of a New England gpinner, until along in the early nineties; and then some of them realized that the southern aniHTs were about to run all 'the rest of the mills out of the trade in heavy and me dium goods, white and colored. Then a few of the New England spinning cor. porations built a few mills In the Car olirvas, Alabama and Georgia, for the production of 'heavy brown goodw, irrtastly for export, medium sheetings and other goods along which iine Mr. Edward Atkinson demonstrated to the south right here 'in our imiidst. as it were, in ; 1881, in a speech toe maJdte in Atlanta, inai ine mmm uuiriia: ucvor u-c of any Teal acoounit as a cotton manu facturer." We stated that of the more than 140 oJtton mills 4n North Carolina not five were built, owned and run by northern men. As to -that Boston: .Atkinson's silly talk in the past it has afforded us great "pleasure to stick a prod of truth 'into the wind-bag. He is the most ab surd over-rated "oracle in all Yankee doodled om. The Tradesaman. says, and it' -gratifies us to copy it, hoping that no reputable northern newspaper or other organ Of opinion will misrepre sent the south- by misstating facts fcur disregarding them altogether ever hereafter: ' .r "The first $80,000,000 invested In cot ton mills in the south was by southern men ; it was essentially every "dollar southern money. -Moreover, tthe big mills in the Pied'raianit region, tiha't are now produ'eing print Cloths and other fine goods, are owned land managed by southerners, every one of them. All the northern owned and conducted mills 9n the south, spin coarse numbers arid produce low and mediuan. grade Stuffs, for the Asiatic trade at least a vast majority of their spindles are of that kind. The south has not only achieved success in the industry for herself, iut southern men are due the credit of having developed the products of many infills toward the finest and most expensive fabrics."

Our mighty Tsar Is having a Whale of a time at the Tennessee big show. He Is the observed of all observers. "What meat hath this our Oaesar fed upon that he has grown so great?" After all it may be only the daughter pay ing filial courtesy to the mother Ten- nessee offering homage to North Car olina. . John Wilkes, Who once lived In up per Robeson, lef t twenty-four sonST In speaking of this remarkable number of children we were reminded of the fact that a Guilford man, ye't living, has tlwenty-elght children. We are also re minded that old London Purcell, of up per Robeson, a sotored (man, left over forty children. At this writing Robe son is abed. Red Springs Citizen. About 1838 or 1840 there lived an old man a respected farmer attnedAr chle -Gordon. We remember to (have seen him more than once. He was the fatlier of twenty-seven sons, and all lived to manhood. .They had the same mother. They had no daughter born unto them. He rived in Granville county. There is no doubt of the truth of Lieutenant Governor Reynold's Con tention that the assessments of lands in North Carolina are far too low and the Inequalities immense. We" believe With him that an equitable, proper valuation over the state would very greatly increase the 'total and add very much to the' Income of the State from taxes. The lieutenant governor speaks strongly, 'but not tool much so in cen sure of the present plan of assessment producing such unequal and unjust results. He points out some of the abuses. 'For instance, fae says, "truck ing lands worth easily $50 an acre are assessed at $5 and lands which at sale would not bring $4 are assessed at 28." There is great need of an Improved method of doing 'this Important wlork. Let North, OaroRna be fair and horrest (here. There are lands udt registered at all that should be registered, unless there has been an improvement Just here In recent years. . This writer wouJd cease to be an ed itor and less than ''human If be could be Insensible to the very appreciatve words applied to Um by the distin guished and fearless editor of the Nor folk Pilot, Colonel W. C. dam. We find ourselves often lnlifarmon,wrh the earnest, vigorous thinking of The Pilot. We share with him fully m his view of William L. Wilson, 'who s not deserving of the consideration of amy igemflne southern,' man, and especially A Virginian." Colonel Elaim, In closing a Justly severe review of this Mr. Wil son's letter to Harper's Weekly con cerning the south, says this: ""That a man who (had Just been so greatly honored toy Virginia Should seize .that very occasion to vilipend us was bad tenough; In all conscience; but our Indignation was not unmingled with shame and humiliation when wte sanv that the wsTtkm we had given tthte -mato had been eagerly prostituted by hJrn to lend color, force ana effect to calumnies that we could well afford to contemn from our traditional arid hereditary mallgners the chief of wfhiefh is this very Harper's 'Weekly, to whose tender (merctes William L. Wilson thus sought to sell and betray us." ' That brazen fellow could never speak to us on. any subject under any cir cumstances. Health and happiness are relative conditions, at any rate, there can be little happiness '" without health. To give the body its full measure of strength and energy, the blood should be kept pure and vigorous, by the use of AVer's Sarsaparilla. PEOPLE STUDYING OBJECT LES- SONR The turning loose of Havemeyer and that other sugar fellow without punish ment or condemnation by the court, will not leave a good Impression upon the Intelligence of the country. It shows Just how strong a trust may be and how defiant of law if not superior to it. The trial of a superintendent of the villainous sugar trust was in itself an event. That plundering, concern has made Its tens . of millions by the aid and connivance of the congress and out of the American people. Chapman, the brokerris supposed to trade with United States senators who take advantage of their knowledge gained in committee of the forthcoming sugar tax. It is charged that the democratic sugar tax put millions -into the pockets of the trust, and now the new republican tax is higher and , will add other mil lions to the robbers' gains. The men who are arrested can riot be convicted because the senate has not the power to compel attendance and is Invested with no proper inquisitorial power. The people, the sufferers, will not be satis fled with such a plea of inability. The guilty senators and sugar robbers are still on trial before the bar of public opinion, public Judgment. - We referred recently to the criticisms of ex-Senator Ingalls on public ques tions and men how pungent and pierc lng and, doubtless, in the main correct. In a recent article by him in The N.ew York Journal, he made this statement of the effects of the senate bill upon sugar and its victims. The following strikes us as timely, significant and forceful: f "Men competent to Judge affirm that the pending bill will add not less than ten millions per annum to the already extortionate gains of the trust; that it will put this article of universal use and consumption absolutely under the control of a single combination; that it will destroy competition, and anni hilate the domestic cane and beet su gar industries, and add to the" burdens that already bear so heavily upon the people. "This is bad enough, but the funda mental evil, with which even those who endure the oppression are most deeply concerned, is broader and deeper still. How are these exclusive and crushing monopolies acquired? Is it true that money is used to corrupt legislators, to control state and national elections, to make Justice a travesty, to turn impris onment into a farce, to plunder the na tion and compel courts to protect them in their depredations? Rates and reve nues are important, but they have be come subordinate. We must have in come to defray the expenses of the gov ernment, to pay the public debts, to maintain the credit and faith of the nation, but there is something more valuable even than these, and that is integrity, honor and honesty. These are the foundation - and undermining of our system. If these are destroyed the fabric will fall. The people are aroused to the menace of money in pol itics." " He is correct. The people " are -indeed looking with anxiety and alarm at the trend- In public aff airs-r-in the supremacy of money in legislation as well as In commerce. They see legls-. lation corrupted, abused, controlled by corporations and laws enacted looking to the enrichment of trusts rather than to the revenues of the government. The people long hewers of wood' and drawers of water for the wealthy mag nates in the north the manufacturers are now compelled to grind, Sampson like, in the mills of the Philistines. Re cent developments will arouse public attention to such a degree it Is to be hoped as to insure the destruction of every fellow in the congress who votes to fasten the infernal senate bill or the Digley bill, or both somehow blended, upon the country. Look at the usurper Reed in the house disregarding all pre cedents and deliberately seizing the reins and shutting out all legislation. MAL-AQUA. - We remember something of one or more editorials of our friend Mr. James R. Randall, the gifted Journalist and author of the famous war poem "My Maryland," in which he contended that it was not malaria but , malaqua not bad air but bad water that killed and afflicted the south. It was years ago, when he was editing The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, that he put forth his theory. The theory was not controverted, so far as we recall, but it did not then attract the attention it deserved. It has been apparent to those who study hygiene and read sanitary Journals, that bad water is certainly a very sure, dangerous cause of fevers in so called malarial localities or sections. For twenty years we have been sure that the chief est source of disease in the eastern section of North Carolina was bad water. We have mentioned that the late Dr. Thomas F. Wood, sent fives amples of water from . Wilming ton wells, from different parts of the city, and had them analysed by a skill ed chemist, and all were badly pois oned. The Jacksonville (Fla.,) Times Union, referring Xo Mr. Randall's theory as to bad waer malaqua in a recent issue said: "Experience seems to prove that Mr. Randall was entirely right. The South ern States' Magazine cites the experi ence of the town of Hawklnsvllle, Ga., This thrifty little manufacturing city was located, unfortunately, in a mala rial sectjtfm. Although the disease was if they are healthy filter the "uric acid and poisons out of .the system through the urine. If they are not acting right the results are B right's Disease, Rheu matism, Neuralgia, Bladder Trouble, Dropsy, etc - These canoe CURED After using one box of Dr. Hobbs Srtara- ,gus Kidney Pills I take pleasure in re commending mem as an excellent remedy In diseases of the kidney and bladder.

Front sod Market SU. not at all severe, malaria was so com mon that Its Inhabitants got into the habit of expecting a few chills every fall as a matter of course. The water used, until recent years, was drawn from shallow wells, which undoubtedly received the surface drainage of the country. In order to get a larger sup ply of water one of the. factories put down an artesian well. The autumn following the people who had used this water exclusively during the season were gratified to find that they escaped from the expected chills." In the year' 1870, we had occasion to visit on '. business a very successful 'JSdg-ecombe county farmer. He was -boring an artesian well. He told us that his whole plantation whites and blacks-all suff ered . f rom chills and fe vers. He expected they would all dis appear so soon as he could get pure water bv the artesian process. He said, he knew a planter near Wash ington, N. C, (we think It was), or in Beaufort county some where, who oper ated largely,, but his people were all af flicted with chills. He had an artesian well bored, gave them pure water, and the sickness quickly disappeared. We think the first duty of a city is to procure good drinking water that will stand the most thorough test of analysis, and the second duty, but little less imperative or Important, Is to con struct a complete system of sewage covering everv lot in the city. Good air and good water go together and are absolutely essential to the - public health. It is not surprising that so many people die, but that so few die. When the lots and other conditions are examined In the light of sanitary laws it is surprising that the death rate is not - double what it is. Fayette ville has only a death rate of eight or nine in the 1.000 inhabitants. Wilmington is not far below double that. It used to be as high as 21, but it was reduced to some 17 or 18, we be lieve. It can be reduced to not more than 8 for the whites with pure drink ing water and thorough sewage for every home. SNAPS. The product of coal in Tennessee was 2,319,720 tons in 1895, and 2,633,714 tons in 1876 a healthy increase. The shipments of southern iron for April amounted to 101,141 tons. Of this 38,207 were shipped to western states and 29,996 to eastern states. The earthquake extended over a wide area, embracing Georgia, Tennessee. Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mary land, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. i Two young men at Sweet Home, Texas, had a duel to the death. They were Will Lewis and Whit Bosworth. -One was shot five times and the other four. Every bullet found its mark. Too much talk was the cause. They were of good reputation and evidently very brave. In investigating the cause of the death of Ruiz it turns out that General Lee feared to call any witnesses, as he knew he could not protect them from Spanish vengeance. Is General Lee really 'accredited from the United States? This country has certainly fallen low. Bob Taylor pays the penalty of being very bright and gifted. Northern pa pers, with their usual acuteness of per ception when looking at southern men, only see a fine fiddler in a man who is true, able, successful, wittv and elo quent. If he was a sort of dull-faced Piatt or Quay or Hanna with "lots" of meanness he would be a shining light to them. The United States greatly lead in the value of their manufactured pro ducts.

SHARPS AND FLATS. Major General Daniel Ruggles died in Richmond on 2nd June. He was born in Massachusetts in 1810, fought in the Seminole and Mexican wars with distinction, and like some other offi cers of northern birth, took the side of the south in the great war. He was a brave, capable, faithful soldier and was greatly respected in Virginia where he married and settled. He sup ported Mr. Bryan in 1896. The Rich mond Dispatch closes a long and Inter esting sketch of him as follows: "General Ruggles at one time was one of the largest landed proprietors in the United States, being the sole owner of the celebrated .Palo Fox grant of 300,000 acres In Webb county, Texas. "He was one of the original discover ers of the celebrated copper deposit of the Lake Superior Region, and was one of a syndicate who took up all of the land upon which the present cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis now stand. . "During the civil war General Rug gles was reported killed in one of the battles, and a column and a half notice was given of jthe event in The New York Tribune, written by Horace Gree ley. .

But we have less and less cause to praise ourselves, since others do the praising, and we are more than willing for you to see us through other eyes. This is how we look to S. P. Boyce, wholesale and retail druggist, Duluth, Minn, who after a quarter of a century of obser vation writes: "I have sold Ayer's Sarsapa rilla for more than 25 years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard anything but words of praise from my customers ; not a single com plaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla to be the best blood purifier, that has been introduced to the gen eral public." This, from a man who has sold thousands of dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, is strong testimony.

Months and months passed and the frightful baldness remained. My physician, Dr. Paul Barrlnger, recommended Mrs. Grier's Real Heir Restorer. Determined to tire It a fair trial Z bought a half doien bottles. Three bottles of It faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect, but one morn Ins;, soon after besrinnin the fourth bottle, to our surprise and delight, a new growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration that only one more bottle yas needed. Ten years have elapsed and- no one has a finer suit of hair. . L Less than one bottle Is often effectual In checking falling hair. Read Inter esting history of R. H. R. MRS. M. G.
