Urge number of mill men who are

of tbe south set Mr. Edward Atkins al
least in the llrht of an uninspired
I rophet.
It is hardly possible to over esiimtie
tbe industrial and economic changes
which are new iu progresa In the soutb.
This Is particularly true of Nc rih Caro
lina waere the transition rrom an :
agricultural to a manufacturing people)
is rapid and sweeping. Ten ycari ago
there were perhaps not more than a dui- 1
en, possibly not so many, cotton nulls in 1
tbe Slate; now there are more than two)
hundred, with an increase at the rate ot I
live a month. Then cotton manufactur !
I r, 1. Mta .,nam.nl,l anil ila ru.illl . '
doubtfal; now we know that it is proht
able from the day the mill opens.
Three years ago when a financial crisis
forced mfny New England mills to close
their doors the North Carolina mills ran
on full time, declaring dividends from
fourteen to twenty per cent.
Upon manufacturing cn'.erprisea the
life and growth nf all our towns depend.
aad, in the middle anil western sections
ef the stale, many of them, from thi
cause alone, have doubled, and in sonn
cases, quadrupled their population, and
are rapidly b coming important tmsiucss
centres. A little while ago Unstnnia
claimed less than two hundred n;id liitv
p eple; torlny ii- population is i;r.-:inr
by a thousand or two than ihc whi.e
population of New Bern. Mi cotton
mills have doubled twice over the popu
lation of Concord. Other instances
could be cited. What manufacturing
has done for Durham and Charlotte is
well known.
In tl.e light of these facts, and with
some understanding and appreciation ol
New Bern's splendid natural advantages
for manufacturing and ample transports
lion facilities, it is a matter of growing
wonder, to the writer at least, that our
business men and citizens generally arc
not more interested in this highly prof
liable feature of Industry than they have
yet appeared te be.
A plant for the production of wire
fencing, a furniture factory, and thrteor
more cotton mills, all of which we great
ly need, would bring hundreds of people
here, other Industries would spring up,
and our population would double In a
few years. Every department of husi
ness feeling the Impel in thus set in
motion would thrill with new life, and
this goodly town would enter upon an
or a of prosperity hitherto unknown.
Herein incidentally, but neither the
less true nor the less important on that
account, lies the solution to New Bern's
white supremacy problem. Build fac
tories, employ white labor, and by and
by there would be little danger from in
ferior race rule. White supremacy
would take care of itself.
The aame energy aud determined cf
fort existed to secure the development
of the business Interests of New Bern
that were put forth in behalf of the par
amount issue would result in marvelous
things for the town.
Whst shall be expected? Will our
business men build factories? Will they
seek to induce northern capitalists to
invest their money In our midBt? Last
week the papers state that 2,000,0)0
would come to Richmond for investment
next year. Proper effort might have
brought some of that money here.
Now is New Bern's opportunity, and
great possibilities invito to effort, At
the the rate of sixty cotton mills a year
how long will the opportunity continue?
AVh at factory building has already
schieved for the State is a prophecy of
that which is yet to come, It is the be
ginning and not until every section of
North Carolina Is vocal with the hum
of machinery and the song of the spindle
shall the end be. Will New Bern join
the glad refrain? Let us hope so.

Bjicnt Hoinu time In i!,e (oinn.niy of Knd

Ono afternoon wo went together to the
zoo, and whiln strolliiiK aliout nnr e-ars
i iissailetl by tint most melancholy
Bound I ha(j ever heard, u euinplaining,
fretting, lamenting suund proceeding from
tho t'lupl.ant houso.
" hat's tb matter in there?" a. Led
Mr. Kipling of the. keeper.
'A sick elephant, sir. lit) orlea all the
time. We don't know what to do with
him," was the answor.
Mr. Kipling hurried away front me in
tho direction or the lana nt, whieh was
growing louder and more painful I fol
lowed and saw him go up close to the
eagn, where Htood an elephant with sadly
drooped ears and trunk Ho wart crying
actual tears at the same time that lie
mourned his lot most, audibly. In another
moment Mr. Kipling was riuht up to the
bars, and 1 heard him speak to tho Rick
beast in n language t lint may have been
elephaiitese, b.it certainly we.s not Eng
lish. I list mil ly the hining -stopped,
the ears were lifted, the monster turned
his sleepy little NunVrlng eye upon his
visitor and put. out his trunk. Mr. Kip
ling begun to carets it, f-till npeaking in
the same toothing tone and in words un
intelligible to mo nt least. After a few
minutes the beast began to answer in a
much lowered tone of voire and evidently
recounted his .woes. Possibly elephants,
when "enjoying .uor health," like to con
fide their symptoms to Hytnpathi.ing IN
tenors as muc h as do some human invalids
Certain it was that Mr. Kipling and that
elephant carried on a conversation, with
tho result that tho elephant found his
spirits much cheered and improved. The
whine wont out of hit voice, ho forgot
that ho was much to be pitied, he begun
to exchange experiences with his friend. I
and ho was quite uneon&eious, au was Mr
Kipling, of tho amused and interested
crowd collecting about tho cage. At last,
with a Htart, Mr. Kipling found himself
and his elephant the observed of all ob
servers and beat a hasty retreat, leaving
behind hint a very different creature from
tho one ho had found.
' Uoesn't that beat anything j on over
saw?" ejaculated a compatriot of mine, as
the elephant trumpeted a loud and cheer
ful good by to the I wick of his anishing
visitor, and I agreed with him that it did.
" What language were yon talking to
that clephantr"" I usked when J overtook
uy friend.
"Language? What do you mean?1" ho
answered with a laugh
"Are you n mowgll," I persisted, "and
can you talk to nil those hraMs in '.heir
own tongues?" but lie only smiled in re
ply. How It Tronlil-fl lllm.

Who are the four greatest poets of the
world? Tbe question was one, we gather
from Sir Edward Hamilton's mono
graph, which used to exercise Mr. Glad
stone. About tbe first three places In
deed be believed that there could be no
reasonable question. They must be as
signed to Homer, Dante and Shakes
peare. Hot abont tne fourth place Mr.
Gladstone found geat difficulty
He
considered that there were four com-.
petitors scbylus, Virgil, Milton aud
Ooethe. Wo wonder bow many of our,
renders would at u first guess select Mr.
Gladstone's final choice? ItwasQoetbo.
Who, iu recent days, have been tbe
greatest masters of Etiulish? This was
another question which Mr. Gladstone say my speeches sre both long and nar
was fond of considering. He decided in row.
favor of two as greater than all others :
Cardinal Newman and Mr. Ruskin. It
is interesting to recall tbe fact that Mr.
Morley, iu a lecture, answered the same
question. According to him, tbe great
master? of English in our generation
have born three Carlyle, Maoaulay
and Mr. Ruskin. The last named alone
appears, it will be seen, in both lists.
