The efforts of the New Orleans

the direction of securing better
bagging and bailing for cotton
for shipment have already it is
said, been productive of good re
suits. It is reported that the com-
crop, will be put in better bag-
than heretofore, and at-
tempts will also be made toward
greater uniformity in baling-
has been much complaint
especially from Liverpool, of poor
bagging and baling of American

The North Carolina Press As-
discussed two very
questions pertaining to
the present laws in our State-
One was a reform in tho present
jury system relative to criminal
cases. A resolution was adopted
with this end in view- The idea
is to give the State an equal
chance in a murder case with the
like the
same number of challenges in the
selection of a juryman as is now
given the defendant. This will
open up an interesting and
upon the jury
system and no doubt bring about
some improvements along this
lino. The other question Mi
upon our present libel law, which
is a sweeping measure, and needs
so that justice may
be given both shies. These
very important questions,
concern the whole

The directors of the Thomas-
ville elected Rev. J.
B. Boon Superintendent of that
Institution at their annual meet-
this week. We don't know
what causes led to his election
instead of J. H. Mills who is the
founder of the Institution and
who has been tho Superintendent
since its organization, and until
we will not criticize the
action of the directors- We know
this, that Mr. Mills has to all
appearances been the right man
the right place, that no man in
the State has done what ho has
for the orphans its borders,
that the history of all the orphan
institutions in the Slate rests upon
the unselfish work oft
ed Christian man, that the State
owes him a debt of gratitude it
can never repay, and that the
pie of North Carolina so feel to-
wards him- These things
true we can say that the causes
which led to his removal ought to
all sufficient, and unless they
are the friends of Thomas ville Or-
will not be slow to open-
disapprove the action of tho
Board in displacing Mr. Mills
from the place which he seems to
have filled so admirably from the
beginning of the Institution.
Upon our recent visit to
Greensboro to attend the Press
convention held there, we could
but look with admiration upon
the enterprises of that city, her
various factories, banks,
educational institutions, mag-
hotels, numerous in-
and splendid
tile establishments. But there
was nothing in the way of a re
tail store that more impressed us
than the large head-
quarters of E. M. k

If our good brother of the

THE NEW CANAL.
It Compares Favorably with the. Amer-

The almost utter silence and total

Canadian parliament has treated the
completion of new canal is
in striking contrast with the value
of the threat engineering work in its
relation to the dominion's vast chain
of artificial waterways. The rapid-
with which the enterprise has
been accomplished has been notable.
Canada did not seriously conceive
the idea of this canal around the falls
of St. Mary's river on her own side
until seven years ago, and on
last the water was admit-
to the lock for the first time.
The size of the new may
best be appreciated by comparison of
this lock with the latest lock of the
American route. The Can-

The exact value of this new Can-
depends upon its relation
to the chain of Canadian canals from

By the engineering improvement
of St. Clair Flats and the Lime Kilns,

That the habit of nail biting is a
disease among children, and not
merely a naughty trick, to be cured
by punishment, is the scientific
opinion of the famous Frenchman,

time associated with and is
present secretary of the French
Society of and Inspector
of state lunatic asylums.

physician's care, instead of being
teased and punished.

girls than boys, and is probably due
to the factual tho ugh this is not

report, made from an examination
of one of the average mixed schools
of Paris, the percentage or nail
biters the girls was found to
be fifty, while among the boys it was
only twenty. This habit was usual-
observed among tho poorer

have the habitual nail
biters hardest to teach, and often
totally unfit for technical education.
On rare occasions nail-biting

cleverness, invariably outgrown.
Although the disease Is frequently
Inherited, Is often the result
of imitation, which practically

schools the habit is considered so
harmful and so easily contracted
that the nail-biting children are
lated and taught in separate classes,
besides being subjected to severe
and public reprimands. The idea of
punishing a nail biter re-

The extent to which it prevails in
England can be estimated from the

is prevalent to a marked degree. It
may be noticed at every turn on the
streets, in tho schools and on the
cars, Wherever there Is a
group of school children of any size,
