THE STATE'S INDUSTRIES. & Wonderful Gro-rth Alone Many Lines la Twenty Veor. : The -manufacturing Industries of North Carolina until 1SS0 were limited, but since that time the spindles and looms for the manufacture of cotton and woolen fabrics have been, largely Increased, tobacco factories have been established and enlarged and the cul ture of silkworms has occasioned the establishment of a sllkmaklng in dustry. . . In 1800 the number of cotton mills in the state was 1G7, looms 25,000 and spindles approximately 1.000,000. Over 15,000 persons were employed In these mills, and the capital invested was over $15,000,000. There was a note worthy advance during 1S09 In cot ton manufacturing. -New-plants put into operation numbered 23 and new spindles 230, ICS, with an estimated capitalization of $3,000,000. The tobacco Industry bos greatly prospered In recent years. During the fiscal year ending June 30. 1S99, there were 20 manufacturers of tobacco. 33 of cigars, and the combined output in the calendar year 1898 was 8,482.148 cigars. 20,940,890 pounds of plug to bacco. 12.044 pounds of fine cut 9.239.- 870 pounds of smoking and 48,552 pounds of snuff. The tobacco factories in 1S9S gave employment to 10,900 men, 9,700 women and 5.000 children. The Increase In the lumber product of 1S39 over that of 1S98 was estimat ed at 30 per cent. : Klghtecn new lum ber companies were organized last year, with a total capital of $502,000.

It is a custom in Morocco that all the property of an official reverts at death La the crown. The logic which leads to such a result is simple, for the govern ment argues that all fortunes thus ac cumulated consist of moneys illegally retained by the authorities. A govern or when appointed is probably possess ed of no considerable fortune. When he dies, he may be a millionaire. Whence came his wealth? Squeezed most certainly from the tribes under his authority and therefore amassed only by the prerogatives of the posi tion In which the sultan had placed him. 1 It has never struck the Moorish gov ernment that these great fortunes might more honorably be returned te the people from whom they were stol en. The result Is entire confiscation to the crown. Including often such private property as the governor may have been possessed of before his appoint ment and not seldom, too, of the prop erty of his relatives - When the mighty fall in Morocco, the crash brings down with them their families, even uncles and cousins and all connected with them, and It is not seldom that tha sons of great govern- ors, who have been brought up in the luxury of slaves and horses and reti nues of mounted men, have to go bog. gtng in the streets.

In picking up your gun from lying Cat, standing against anything, from a companion or a bout, do not take hold of the muzzle and drag" it toward you. Take hold of It by the forestock and barrel if yon are only using one hand; if two, in the regular way you grasp It when you go to shoot In carrying your gun do not keep the muzzle di rectly behind you. Throw the butt to the right or left, whichever shoulder yon are carrying It on. This will bring the muzzle toward the opposite shoul der, thus rendering it easy to carry, as it will be resting on your neck and shoulder instead of on the small part f your shoulder and with the muzzle upward will also lighten It a little. I think there arc more men shot with their own guns by taking them from a boat than in any other way. When yon run your boat or canoe to the bank. your gun is likely to be in the bow, which I think is tGe besi place for It Take hold of It by the forestock and step out Tut it In a safe place where you are sure It will not fall down. Then draw up your boat or do anything etee you hare to do, but do not let your gua stay In the boat until you have shoul dered your pack and then catch hold of the muzzle, drag It up over the gun wale,, hock the hammers and have It explode. It Is likely to blow out your trains. Pcrert and Stream. I Pe Witt's Ij tt!e Early Liwr arerrrrr r t, j ra:ii,- jVn.T!, powerf-J, parifjirj STATE NEWS.
