INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.
Whenever a new labor-saving

comes to the front with a protest,
and predicts that the time is com-
when machinery will do all
the work and leave the masses
unable to get employment.
We have never seen a better
answer to this Colonel
of Chicago, gave in his
recent address before the St.
manual training school.
The speaker said
you take the report
of 1890 you will find that in the
States where machinery is used
the people are rich, and that in
the States where little or no ma-
is used the people are
poor. Massachusetts, full of
machinery, has a per capita
wealth of Virginia, with
little machinery, has a per capita
wealth of Island,

used wages are low. Wages are
much higher in New England
than in the agricultural States.
England has more machinery
than continental Europe and in
consequence has higher wages,
while in this country, which leads
machine production, wages are
higher than anywhere in the
world- Colonel gave
these
the United States, in con-
sequence of machinery, which is
constantly improving, the pro-
power of each factory
operative has tripled since 1840.
The present com-
forts have come chiefly through
the productive power of machine-
and his hope for greater com-
fort lies in machinery still more
productive.
1840 the average wages in
this country were about cents
a day, and cotton cloth was worth
cents a yard. A laborer could,
therefore, earn in a day what
would buy five yards of cotton
cloth. The farmer who at that
time sold his wheat for cents a
bushel could buy three yards of
cotton cloth for a bushel of wheat.
By means of and labor-
devices cotton is
now at G cents a yard, so
that instead of five yards the
eighty-cent laborer would to-day
get thirteen yards for his day's
work, but wages have doubled
since then and now average
per day, and, therefore, instead
of thirteen yards the laborer gets
for his day's work twenty six
yards of cotton cloth, where in
1840, he could earn only enough
to buy five yards. The farmer
who now sells his bushel of wheat
for buys yards of
cotton cloth for the bushel instead
of three yards, as in 1840- In
other words, what the wage earn-
of 1840 could buy of machine-
made cotton cloth for his day's
labor was as five are to twenty-
six, of what can buy to-day.
What the farmer could buy in
1840 compared to 1893 is as
three are to eight.

welcome it because the factory

find a ready sale for vegetables,
fruit, chickens and e as well

Machinery is being applied
with wonderful success to farm-
One man in the west can
raise as much wheat as ten men
could produce twenty-five years
ago. On a Minnesota farm a
machine cuts and binds wheat
times quicker than the
farmer could have done it a few
years ago. This is genuine in-
progress. We need only
so much food a year, and if it
can be produced by fewer people
those who abandon the farm will
go into other occupations. There
is no limit to the demand for
manufactured articles- The more
we have the more we want. There
is no over-production in this line.

Cholera -Yellow Death.
The cities of Charleston and
Savannah are taking action to
shut out if possible yellow fever
and cholera. Last year
wick suffered from Yellow
Jack- A quarantine is to en-
forced against infected ports.
The yellow fever is in
always for that matter in Cuba.
In Europe the cholera is still
killing. In China there
is an awful plague killing by the
thousands, that is feared and be-
to be the Black Death of
history that through centuries
past destroyed tens of millions of
people. In Austria, Germany
and Russia the cholera is more
or less prevailing- At Shanghai
the plague has already destroyed
a great many of the inhabitants.
In Brazil the yellow feyer prevails
and has done so for a long time.
While it is not an occasion for a
big fright, it is time to be looking
to an effective quarantine. It is
always safe to be on guard. An
ounce of preventive is really
worth at any time a ton even of
cure. The New York Sun says
the plague raging in China sea-
ports is the Black Death,
which killed, in the fourteenth
century,
as many as there are now in the
United States. It says;

There was a mild visitation on

A letter was received last week
from St. Louis making inquiries
about a man named William Pell,
who reached this town last fall
and wrote back home to his sister
that he was well, had a good
thing in view and was so much in
love with the country that he had
concluded to stay here. A brief
call at the coroner's office enabled
us to give full particulars. We
found that Mr. Pell arrived here,
as stated The good thing he
had in view was a mule be-
longing to Colonel ranch.
He got the mule one night in
and then his conclusion to
remain in the county indefinitely
was confirmed by the action of
which followed him
miles next day and overhauled
him just below Tom bend.
Everything goes to prove that
William will be a reside of this
domain for many years to come,
and it may be a burden off his
sister's mind to know that he can't
be hurt by a stampede of steers
nor mortally injured by a kick
from a Louis Republic.
There are men who command
the spontaneous homage of the
world. They are men of sterling
character, lofty aims, kind hearts,
indomitable courage strict
honesty. They may not possess
what is commonly termed genius,
but having spotless characters
and at all times and under all
circumstances being controlled
by an overpowering sense of
duty, they fail to win the
admiration and respect of those
they come in contact with.
Many youths make a fatal mis-
take- They think
will carry them through lite all
right, but their supposed sharp
soon fashions tor them a
reputation for dis-
honesty which places them on
such a low level that ever
thinks of making them the re-
of and esteem.
True manhood consists in
adherence to truth,
integrity and uprightness. It
puts duty ahead of everything
else, even in the seemingly com-
and most trivial every
day details of life. No matter
what are the temptations, it
appropriates to its own use
that does not justly belong
to it. It looks with contempt
upon statues of limitation and
never regards an honest debt out

The bale of cotton of the
season's crop was the bale
ever raised in the United States.
It was sold last week in Houston,
Texas, at the Cotton Exchange at
auction, and was bought by
Latham Alexander Co., of New
York, for nearly cents a
pound. The bale weighed
pounds and came from
county. Reports from all the
cotton growing sections of Texas
are of the most nature.
Cotton and corn never produced
such an enormous yield.
Tho Reflector received a
pleasant letter from friend Will
Greer on Monday. He was at
Salt Lake City heading- for San
Francisco. He says business is
reviving very fast in the west,
trade is good and little com-
plaining is heard. He also adds
that we may listen out this fall to
hear a big drop politically, as the
Populists have been a rank failure
in every western State where
have been tried in Colorado es-
they have nearly ruined

I heard a good joke on Joseph-
us Daniels which no one enjoys
more than Hon. Hoke Smith.
Some one asked Mr. Daniels in
Mr. Smith's presence, why he did
not make a speech also at the re-
cent Chapel Hill Commencement.
Mr. Daniels find a
office a mighty nice thing these
hard times and I was afraid of
making Mr. Smith jealous. Sup-
pose I had spoken and made a
speech. I was unwilling
to take the Mr. Smith

There is much favorable com-
on the fact that

during Mr. Smith's administration

of the credit of this I am sure
belongs to Mr. Daniels who is

Mr. Little is tho son of Mr. B. F.
Little, of Littles Mills, Mont-
county, N. C, and has a
large family connection through-
out the State. Senator Jarvis is
a very determined and
man, very loyal to his friends, sin-
able and reliable. Every

influence. His speech on the
tariff continues to be compliment-
ed- It was short, but pointed
and strong.

editor and art critic of the New

I am in earnest in my advocacy
of letting the voters settle this
question and upon reflection I am
inclined to think the best time to
hold the primary will be on the
day of election. It can be made
useful in bringing out a big vote
and in polling it for the party.
Anyhow, I would be glad if you
will have the letter published.

Since the assassination of Pres

The Association of County inter-
Cm-, N. C, June
The Association cf County
met here yesterday,
and was called to order by the
president, Supt. Wilkinson, of
county.
The first business was the
of officers for the ensuing
year. Supt Wilkinson was re
elected president, and Supt. E. P.
Ellington, of Rockingham county,
vice-president. Supt James W.
Hays, of Wilson county, was
elected secretary.
Supt. W. J. of the
School of tho Blind in Raleigh,
was introduced to the association
by State Supt. Scarborough, and
invited to a seat among us by tho
president
The Association was then ad-
dressed by tho State
of Public Instruction,
John C Scarborough- He gave
in an exceedingly
manner, briefly a history of the
institution of County
dent of Public Instruction, its
objects and its environments.; He
spoke earnestly of the necessity
of the office, and the duty of
magnifying its importance, and
forcibly pointed out tho means
by which this could be done
urging all to become leaders in
their respective counties in
thought and progress.
The remarks were timely, and
furnished additional evidence
that Mr. Scarborough is the right
man in the right place, and that
the educational interest of North
Carolina, in respect to public
schools, is safe in his hands.
It was suggested that the
of the various
counties of the State be called to-
in tho City of Raleigh
some time previous to or during
the session of tho Legislature to
consult together with the State
in reference to
the needs of the public schools.
This matter was interestingly
and discussed by
the following County
dents E- M. Koonce, of Onslow ;
R. G- Kizer, of Rowan; M. L.
Shipman, of Transylvania; L.
M. of F. S-
of E. P.
Ellington, of and
W. H. of Pitt
On motion of Superintendent
of Pitt county, the
entire matter, both as to the
necessity and time of the meet-
was left to the discretion of
the State Superintendent.
Tho necessity of putting new
life into the Association was
urged by most of the
Superintendents present, and for
the furtherance of this end, on
motion of the Secretary,
W- H. of Pitt,
E. M. Koonce, of Onslow, and R.
G. Kizer, of Rowan, were
a committee to draft a Con-
and By-Laws for govern-
of the Association, and
submit the same at the next meet-
of the body.
The Secretary was also
to issue a circular letter to
all the Superintendents of the
State, soliciting their co-operation
in tho work. Dr. of the
State Normal and Industrial
School being present, responded
to an invitation in some interest-
remarks upon the subject of
public education. The meeting
was interesting, enthusiastic and
instructive, and will doubtless
result in infusing new life into
the organization.
After having been in session
about for hours, the Association
adjourned subject to the call of

Washington D. C- June
President Cleveland has decided
to remain in Washington until
the conference committee
es of the tariff bill- So says
private secretary Thurston, who
ought to know if anybody does.
The President thinks the confer-
will complete its work within
ten days after it gets the bill,
and that the bill will be sent to
hint for his signature by the 12th
of July. Other Democrats think
it will require more than ten
days to argue away the radical
differences between the original
Wilson bill and the numerous
Senate amendments that have
been made thereto, or to find by
compromise some common ground
upon which both Senate arid
House will be willing to stand.
It is difficult for a person who
has not had experience with a
Congressional conference com-
to realize the time t takes
to reconcile important differences.
It isn't only the personal opinions
of the that must be
overcome. The jealousy between
the House and Senate, which is
old as Congress, is always an
important factor in the
of a conference committee.
In this case those who are dis-
to be impatient should
ear in mind that the Senate
amendments number more than
four hundred, of which must
be to a certain extent discussed
by the conference committee, and
upon, and the Republicans
on the committee will be certain
to do all they can to retard an
agreement, just as they have
necessarily prolonged the debate
upon the bill in the Senate,
though they knew from the first
just as well as to-day that
the bill would be passed.
loss of a day by reason of
adjournment as a mark of respect
to the memory of the
President of France
unless present indications are at
fault, prevent the passing of the
tariff bill before next week-
It is well known that there ire
hundreds of of the
government who are credit to
Democratic Congressional dis-
without the consent or
knowledge of any Democrat re-
siding in the district and that
many of them have never been
without miles of the places
which are upon the depart-
books as their homes. Of
course this is unjust to the
of those districts who wish
to enter the government service.
President Cleveland's
of Charles De Kay, liter-
editor of the New York Times,
to be Consul General at Berlin
was disappointing to a consider-
able number of Democrats in
both Senate and House who had
endorsed working Democrats for
tho place- But as Mr. De Kay is
competent to fill the place and is
said by bis friends to have voted
for President Cleveland it is not
probable that any attempt will be
made to prevent his confirmation-
Mr. De is a brother-in-law of
Mr. R. W. Gilder, editor of the
Century Magazine and it is sup-
posed that it was Mr. Gilder who
secured the place for him.
The Democrats of the House
redeemed the last of their pledges
to the Territories by passing,
this week, the bill for the
of New Mexico as a state,
the bills for the admission of Ari-
and Utah having been pass
ed months ago. There isn't much
probability that either of these
bills will be passed by the Sen-
ate at this session, as the regular
appropriation bills have all to be
acted upon, and everybody is
anxious to adjourn at the earliest
possible moment.

Cyclone.
Last Thursday at about p.
in. a wind storm struck the
four story leaf factory of S- T-
Hooker C- M. Bernard that
was in process of erection,
tearing it down and leaving it in
complete ruin. The house was
nearing completion, the outside
work all being about finished
except raising the rafters and
shingling. Eighteen hands were
employed on the building, eight
of whom were injured, the rest es-
comparatively unharmed.

Mr. C- A. Williams is indeed an

Mr. John R. Williams, who lives
three miles south of Greenville,
says ho has worked his tobacco
twice a week, once with the hoe
and once with plow all during

contrary to the opinion of many

at Mr. crop, we think
they will be convinced that con-
working during dry weather
pays well.

especial attention this
week to the article of Mr. C. A.
Williams, of Kingwood Edge-
combo county N. C Some time
ago we promised our readers that
we would procure if possible an
outline of Mr. Williams system of
tobacco farming and in response
to our letter asking him for his
views ho wrote the following.
Ring wood, N. C, June,
O. L. Esq.,
Greenville, A. C
My Dear
Yours of recent date duly to
hand and contents carefully noted.
You have asked me to give you
in detail my management of to-
from the plant-bed to the
pocket. Well before going further,
I will state that you will say after
reading my statements that I am
an extravagant farmer and I ex-
you will about right. We
are growing or acres this
year. We had about square
yards in plant bod and ordinarily
they would have been sufficient
to plant out our crop at one set-
ting, but the dry weather from
first of May until 19th was too
hot and sultry for after
watering, consequently many of
our plants got one size and long
legged, but we finished the 19th
of May and the cut worms were
right bad, so we did not finish
resetting until June first. We
now have a first class stand and
most of it cool weather con-
is looking very well in-
deed. I spare no pains nor
money in growing tobacco. We
prepare our lands well which is
nothing but white sandy,
woods lands that were abandoned
by all the people of this county
before I got to growing tobacco.
I plant in checks feet rows.
I first bread and get land in fine
shape, then run off my rows

crease This is what he
never object to my patient
smoking, although I know that in
some instances serious ills result
from excessive use of tobacco.
Not one man in a hundred who
smokes a cigar after a meal is
injured in the slightest degree,
and there are thousands more
who can smoke almost incessantly
without any great suffering. As
a rule smoking never hurts a man
unless it creates excessive
and unless he inhales
much of the smoke. As a cure
for drunkenness excessive
is often the remedy. A lady
patient once complained to me
that her husband was rapidly
drifting into a confirmed drunk-
ard. I asked her if he ever
smoked at home, she said she
had never allowed him to do so-
I suggested that she find out his
favorite brand of cigars, buy a
box of them from time to time,
always keep cigar cases well filled
in the rooms he chiefly frequent-
ed. After a good deal of per-
suasion she consented to try the
experiment. To her surprise he
almost at once commenced spend-
his evenings at home, and
though tho smoke annoyed her
terribly, she soon got used to it,
and explained the little
trick to her husband until he had
quit drinking almost entirely and
had lost all desire to go on
