One of i lie Greatest Labor Savins? l)e vices of tlia Daj, aud One That Will Doubtless Trove a Mony ! .Maker. ithin the next few vears tilov two- thirds of the mattress uinkTi-- of the United States, and ot ah other mattress using c-u dries, will be thrown cut of employment, ur the manufacture of that commodity en which wc pass more than one-third our liTe willlte three ; i:ie great er than the ilcraaftl. This is a somewhat startling statement, but cue whieh is thoroughly conservative in light ' f the splendid result.- easily obtained fro r. mattress feeling machine recently nr fecteel by our townsman Mr. Thomas Gaskill. and for which a patent wusgrant ed on August 21th. The statement is whereas i: U based on woi accomplished by tvs gentlemen who 'are wholly inex perienced Tn the art and science of mat tress making, it follows that labor ot ex perience will do much more; thus the greater probability is that within -evci vears ruavbap ?evcrat montns more than three-ouaiter- of the men who now earn t..eir dui' v bread in a mattress fac tory will be compelled to tnrn their at e on to other pursuits. Eight expert workmen arc only aliie, to-dav. to finish foltv cotton top mat tresses. An employer who has eight workmen who average fortv mattresses per day of ten hours, considers himself fortunate in the possession of workmen so clever. ilh tight workmen ami Uas kilFs mattress maker, one hundred and twenty mattresses in a dav often hours is not especial! v good work; it is onlv ordi nary. Eight men who are thoroughly lamiliar with the operation should do better work, but our estimate is minimiz ed. Another advantage llie machine has over the man is that the work turned out 4s not only greater in quantity and finer in finish, but is roblcd entirely ot its present disagreeable operations. Mattress making by hand entails upon the workmen the breathing of untold quantities of dirt, and dust into the lung?; the very first opera tion b to run the body head first into the rear end of the tick and carelully lay the straw; this must be kept up until the tick is tall of straw belore the workman lias a chance to breath pure air. For nearly one hour his nose is within six inches of the straw, and his head aud body shoved well into the tick and though he may have leen, just prior to entering, as clean as a char sky, when he emerges he is the color of simple dirt his eyes are blinded and his ears and nostrils full ot dirt and dust. The whole process of filling a mattress, whether it be a cotton top straw or the the finest hair or wool an it !e, is accom plished with the machine by merely turn ing a small crunk, the operator be Ing some distance from the tick. A b -x or chute contains the straw and b tn arc forced into the tick when the b is with drawn the straw remains in tin : ',. Tbeonly thing left to do tx : .re the mat tress U all ready to be !ain mi is the sew ing up of one end and tulti ig. One mau easily sews ami tufts a mnttre-- m half an hour. Two men with he uu-li:sc can easily fill a tick m rive minutes; therefore when eight men ar at work, two tilling ticks and six sew an 1 tufting the output every hour is twelve mattress or one hundred and twenty in one day of ten hour. The sum-- e,;ht men without the machine an I doing their level best eouid onlv turn out f -y good mattresses. The great beauty of the machine is its extreme simplicity, and though free from any complication it can be easily -.erne 1 in a tew seconds into a machine that fills a single size or quarter size mattress. It must be seen from the foregoing that this invention is a great labor saver A manufacturer who now employs twenty fonr men to produce one hundred and twenty mattresses per day will be en abled with the machine to produce the same uumlxr of mattrese with only one third the number of employee. thi; dispensing with eighteen employees. Each workman must cost at leat oue dollar per day, which would be a saving to the manufacturer whausedthe ma chine of $4,303 per year. Thus it is clear that Giskiii's mattress machine is 0f great value, though it costs oniy i lea dollars to make i Bolts and lars are cheap; out a live:y brain in the head of a geuius that so or ganizes and arranges these obedient ser vants mere iron and wood that they be come instruments by which thousands and thousands of dollars are annua!!) saved the manufacturer this brain and its ideas are pr;celess, iuvaluable, and will very likely be the bases on which a price is" set for this wonderfully clever machine.

LAlttiE 1USKET SALES Auothrr Evidence That New llerne Shiu'd Iuvest Mora in Maim factiiring Enterprises Mr S M. Woodworth if the Fort I'a.Mi- I a-ket company, informs us that in Hie one day's canvass whieh he has iu-t made- in his city, he 1 looked orders for four hundred dozen basket?. Such re. uls' sales as this show the importance of New Berne's engaging ia the manu liictu lag of those articles fur which we are spicially litted. Mr. Woodwork's linn has had from a New Berne house as high an order as o e lor a hundred dozen at one time. A- our readers know a basket-willow farm has ljeen planted near New Berne for the purpose of engaging in the manu facturing of willow baskets ataueaily day. While the basKets sold ly Mr. Wciitwurlh are different from those which it is pr.posed to make here, being the j spH.-wuod lxisket, such sales for any; basket should afford encouragement to the promoters of the proposed uew in dustry. Onlv those engaged iu the business. know how great are the sales on little ar ticles of household necessity, which in' a siioi; lime wear out and have to lie re-, placed l.v new ones. There is many au j indusH v on tlie manufacturing line which could be engaged in without any great ! cost that would be found quite profitable and it would p iv our monied men to in- ; vestigate these things cioselv, and estab- 1 i 1 1 some of them in lieu of devoting as large a proportion of their cash and efforts they do to commercial pur- !

President Melver informs the Halcigh j correspondent of the Wilmington Messen J gi r that he has received more than 600 I applications for admission to the State 1 Normal and Industrial school for its third -1 holastiV ve:ir. lieginninj October 4th. Only 400 of 1 hose can be received. I because of the limited recitation room. Only 250 can be aeeomrr.exlated with board in the dormitories. About 150 will board iu private families. Tl e only counties from which there are no applicants are Brunswick, Chero kee, Ciay, Dare, Graham, Hyde, Mitchell. Pender. Perquimans. Swain and Yancey. The need for such a school as the State Nonnal and Industrial cannot 1)3 ques Uonod; that the kind of instruction given i- appreciated and cought for by young ladies of the State is abundantly evidenced by the facts above set forth. T..is great demand for its service calls for lurthir support to the institution. It hou'al not be allowed to remain a fact that a third of those who seek the Nor mal and Industrial education have to be turned off. Let further appropriations be made. River and Harbor Woik. In addition to the actual appropriations made for improvements in Virginia ,ir.d North Carolina, the bill that ha-just b -come a law directs the S. cretary of War to eaii-e preliminary examinations to be made at other localities in bottj states. Preliminary examinations are to be made as follows in North Carolina. Core sound, from mouth of North river to Beaufort harbor, and Cape Lookout harbor to Refuge, with a view to im provement of navigation; Drum Inlet, between Portsmouth and Cape Lookout; Tar river, from Washington to Green ville, with a view to obtaining a elepth of three feet; South creek, from mouth to head of navigdion; Turner's Cut, a branch of Pasquotank river; Scuppernong river. Surveys are also to fe made and the cost of improvement ts to be estiinated at the following localities: In North Carolina North East Cape Fear) river, from tin old county ferry to Juniper swamp or creek, a point aliout one mile north of Hilton railroael brielge, with a view of obtaining an increased depth ot chanel; Alligator river, Cape Fear river above Fayetteville. The appropriations for riyers and har bors included in the bill which President Cleveland permitted to bt come a law the other day without his signature will be come immediately available, and a great deal of work can be done this year in the South, In the North and East, as well as! the Northwest, where the seasons are shoiter. very little work can be done this year. In securing river aud harbor appropria tions much depends as a rule on the rec couimcndations made by the Engineer Corps, ;ind those gentlemen it is said to have not been as liberal as they might lje to Yirgm;a and North Caroiina. It isprob ably due to tlie fiictthat the people in the States nameel do not furnish fully the t rade statistics to back them up. In the Wist they are alive to this part of the pi ouramme, ano it is Hoped tlie Mmm will be alive to it.- interests in the fu ture. Senator Ransom has done much suc cesslul work good on this line. The South has a great interest iu these measures, and the maney appropriated is the only large amount that is sent back to a section of country which pays such tre mendous taxes that go to swell the pen sion list. It is true that in a measure of this character a great deal of money is wasted on projects that never amount to Allen. anything, but in the aggregate untold; Pamlico was owned i unt iv nt the time benefits to commerce are secured, besides ; of hisdeath by E.

The convention was called to oi'elcr, yesterday morning by President Green, of New Berne, at 10:30 a. m. The tnorn ;ng session being interrupted by an alarm of tire, there was not much business at tended to. The alternoon session was a'so short The convention assembled again at 8 p. 111., and was in session until 11.30 p. 111. At this ses ion the follswing officers were elected for the ensuing year: .las. McNeal of Fayetteville, Pres.; E. G. inalee, of Wilmington, 1st Vice Pres.; F. S. Vogler. 2nd Vice Pres.; Ben T.

Mr. Green stated that he had bjeu honored as President of the North Caroliua State Firemen's Association for three successive years, and declined the re-nomination. Mr. Green's election as Treasurer ol this Association throws the Treasury of the relief fun 1 in New Berne. Chief of New Berne Fire Department. W. D. Barrington, extended an invitation to the A-sociafion to hold their in xt Con vention and Tournament in the "City of Elm.-." Salisbury also extended an invitation but "yells"' for New Berne were so loud and sarill that, that place was witheliawn and New Berne unanimously carried as the next meeting place 1895. It seemed as New Berne was ''all t lie go." You. could here Western tiren. en siug out "fish and oysters," all over the 1 10 use.

You can just bet that Winston-Salem knew that New Benin and Wilmington were in town last nigh:. The parade takes place this morning at 9:30 o'clock sharp. It is up and down hill here and I think the boys will be "fagged" when they get through marching. The steamer contest comes off this afternoon. The other races take place to-morro.v. You w ill notice that the Twin-Cily Daily in mentioning The Atlanties, gives us the name of New Berne's Crack C0111- pany. R, Found Dead iu Bed. Mr. Bryan II. Gaskins, who live on the opposite siele of IN ease river, about six miles from New Berne was found dead in his bed Friday morning. He went to bexl ns usual not sick at all, but ! he has had a heart affection which j troubled him at times for some one or two years. Mr. Gaskins was about 50 ye .rs old. He was twice married and leaves three children by each wife. His bust wile also survives him. He has two brothers and a sister living in New Berne. Mr. Gaskins was a gooel man and neighbor and a member of the Discip'e church. Fusionists Win The fusionists wod. They carried the day in the Republican convention. The convention endorsed W. H. Worth for Treasurer, and Faircloth, Furcbees, Clark aud Conner for the Supreme Coart bench just as nominated by the Populists. J. M. Moody, an ex-Republican candi date (or Lieut. Governor, who wrote a letter against fusion was hissed when he got on the platform .1. C. Pritchar.1 said the Republicans were this year willing to keep their prin ciples in abeyance in order to win in this campaign. He ''would almost vote for the devil to defeat the Democrats.'' He wanted the 120.000 Republicans aud the 50,000 Populists welded to gether. The fusion resolutions were adopjed by acclamation and V. S. Lusk shouted 'North Carolina is redeemed. Thank God." A Rock Wall for the Academy. The plan of erecting a shell rock wall around the New Berne Academy anel Collegiate Institute grounds has several I mints in its favor not united in tlie iron j fence, brick wall or any of the other dans 1 -,rr,nosed 11 1st. The shell rojk is a home material. 2d. It is one of our natural products lying in abundance along the banks ol Trent river. 3d. It is novel. It is found in but few places. Any town can have an iron fence, ornamental or otherw ise, jjst as easily as we can, but there are very few that can have a shell rock wall, so easily and cheaply by reason of our having the material right at our hand. Many people who come lo the citv have never ; se-en 1 v. 11 a single piece, and it is not onlv novel but beautiful. 4th. Its great tlurability. Once up it is practically there forever. j The matter of comparative cost can lie j determined with moderate investigat ion. It may l)e that it could be put up even '., more cheaply than any other fence at all ' that would be near as satisfactory in char acter. Collegiate Institute Frizes. This school oilers three prizes this year. One to that pupil who shall attain to 1 he highest average grades on recita tion and examination during the scholas tic vear. One to the scholar who shall make the greatest progress in all the studies Another to the pupil who makes the greatest progress in Fllocution Hnd Rec itation during the year and on the Com mencement. No pupil can compete for thase prizes unless in school the first. week and who shall be in school the entire scholastic year also must sustain a good report. E. P. Mende.vhall.

North Carolina has more small cotton mills than any other State in (he nation, i- building more every year, and i oper.ding nil of them by local labor. Isn't it time for New Bcrno to fall into line and erect one or more. Mr. R. W. Pugh who seriously wound ed himself on the c-U band Wedne-dav by the glancing of a hatchet is sulb-nng quite badly from pain. Some ol the leaders on the back of the hand were cut ami oo'ies nroken, but Jr. street gives t he consolation of expecting them lo so knit together as to again give good use of the hand. A writer iu the Charlotte Observer having expresseel the opinion that Noah's ark was built in North Carolina basing his opiaou on the alleged fact thai Shiitim wood of which it was built was found only in this State, the Beaufort Herald now wants some ene lei prove that the whale turned Jonah loose on Shackleford 1 Kinks and that the Garden of Eilen was situated in our borders. Mr. W. J. Young, superintendent of the in-titution for the blind tells the News ami Observer that 100 more white blind pupils will attend next term, and thai these w ill take the place of 100 deaf-mutes who go to Morganton. A good many replies to the inquiries regarding (he number and names ol blind hildren in tlie various counties are coming in. As the Journal announceel recently the authorities are making special efforts to bring every blind child in the state within each of the benefits of the asylum an 1 to that end they earnestly request every one who knows of a blinel child to send his or her address in. Free eare and tuition is given. Let this fact be as thoioughly made known as pontile. Miss Corinne Harrison. Miss Cerinne Harrison, daughter of John M. F. Harrison Send Virginia Har rison, born in the city of New Berne, N. C, on the 21st day of November, 1 H.r,S; died iu Chapel Hill, N. C, Aug. 20th, 1894; age 35 years. She graduated at GreensUiro Female College, May 1875, with the valedictory. She began teach ing school at Durham, N. C, in the fall of the same year. She came to New Berne in 1878 and established a private school, which she taught successfully for four years, and then gave it up in the in terest of public schools in her own native home. She went to Quincy, Mass., in the interest of public graded se bool work so as to establish the same in her native city but did not return, but took a posi tion in Quincy went from there to Bos ton, where she taught for six years, bear ing the rccorel of one of the best teachers in that city from the Superintendent of the Boston public schools, and then she stopped her teaching to perfect herself in the Ling System of physical culture and English at the Harvard Annex, which she hpeel to make a specially, and then she came South as Principal of the Ilem-n-wy school at Norfolk, Va., where she established the Ling system, which she- made a success. She remained principal of this school till the death of the oun !er, and through her influence and advice the Board of Education of that city bought the build ing for a high school, asking her to return au take charge of the work which she had so successfully managed. Her latest work for education so dear to her heart whs that done during the summer at the Schools of Methods throughout the South, and at the Nation al Teachers' Association, Asburv P.iik. N. J., at which place her address on "What Makes, What Mars the Teacher," won for her a national reputation. After those duties she went to ( hapel Hill to rest quietly until her tall work should begin. Strange to sav that her last words in the interest of 1 dueation were said where her tirst were wlicu she staited her work as a brave, courageous girl, showing then as always, an enthu siasm and zeal for the best, moral, and in tellectual progress as a standard old education. Mi-s Harrison was not only possessed ol high culture and refinement but she was an instructress with very advanced ideas a teacher of teachers. A paper whieh she read before the North Carolina Teacher's Assembly, one of the largest and lu st gatherings eif its kiud in the South, was strongly complimented lor its advanced ideas and progressive thought. the idt as were not only progressive but lo a large extent new. We have heard more than one remark that Miss Harri son's eleath was a loss to the State. Dr. Jno. S. Long, who has just return ed from Baltimore, and was horrified to hear ol Miss Harrison's death says: - She was an honor to New Berne and to the whole State. She possessed a strong and' lesolute character and was a horn teacher. Her education had been carried liir be- j yonel her early advantages at In une and at Greensboro Female ( oll.ge. in ad- 1 vanced Northern schools and uad. 1 1 learned Northern Professor- until :- a , scholar she stood among the foremost lady teach el's of her State. She had a ino-t sweet and womanly temper towards her friends and those who knew her. She was full of ambition, and of a determina tion to go forward. Then: was absolutely no limit to her plans. She acknow ledged nothing to be impossible that was in the road of duty and excellence as a teacher, and her character stood high among the noblest Professors of the land. New Berne should cherish her memory and the whole State should honor the name of such a woman. II VM TO A ST ARTE.

Hut we respectfully suggest that it is the doty of the citizen to patrouizo his own home institution. Fortunately for the people of Estern North Oar dina, the New Berne Collegiate Institute offers facilities for education of a very high order. President Mendenhall is well equipped for his work, and will be assisted by teachers of ac knowledged ability and skill in t heir profession. The Ladies ol the facul y who have long boon resi. dents of the city of New Berne need 110 word of praise from us.' They have impretHed themselves upon the community, and are re cognized as jewels in society as well as stars in our literary firma ment. Those who are corning will be cordially welcomed, and it is pleasing to know th at they will" add brilliancy toour already re splendent galaxy of letters. There in no longer any necessity for any New Herman to go abroad for the purpose of academic edu cation.
