~A STEP TO BE COMMENDED. -
mama
The action of the merchants of Cuth-
bert, in organiziug a board of trade, is
one to be commended to every other
municipality of the south.
The reasons for this step are numer-
ous. The south, so far, has passed
through the commercial stringency with
less disastrous results than other sec-
tions ot the union. During the twenty-
five years of prosperity which followed
the war the west was the recipient of
both capital and immigration, while
political troubles deprived the south of
each. The era of so-called osound
money� squeezed all the values out of
the west, broke their banks, bankrupted
their merchants and rvined their far-
|mers.. The southTs previous misfortune
in not securing capital proved to be its
best fortune, for it was thus spared the
wholesale ruin waich overcame. the
hitherto prosperous west. As we had
ttle to loose then, we have everything
to gain now, and in the rebuilding which
necessarily follows every crash vhe
| south offers such rewards and resources
as must attact the attention of capital.
The south is the natural home of the
votton amills. ~The hesitating New
England, which tardily admits that the
coarser goods must be manufactured in
the south hereaftery will yet admit that
the finer goods mustfollow. If they do
not, we have now southern mill men,
whose success makes their statements
respected, who will push the work any-
how and leave the New England mills
to the abondonment which is inevitable.
Every mill site in the south will be-
come the center of a busy population,
whose labor will unite to build up the
country. .
It is important, therefore, that the
example of Cuthbert should be imitated
by every town ii. the south in the for-
mation of a board of trade whose duty
it should be to discover the local pos-
sibilities and to lend united support to
their development. There is not a town
but possesses some special qualification
for business, which, if developed and
placed before the public, would attract
wealth. Capitalists and investors could
deal with such a board when seeking
information, and thas a mutual feeling
would grow up of great advantage.
But the distant investors aside, a
board of trade means much for local
purposes. It wouldestablish a business
rivalry and emulation and give tone to a
town which it could not have in any
other way. It is not always the muni-
cipal government"the mayor and the
council of a town"that forms the best
exponent of opinion. The methods by
which men reach office are not always
| conducive, toward pringiag out the best
~men. The salaried officers of a town,
jand those depending upon its law-mak-
ing power for contracts and franchises,
|too often get together and secure the
electionTof mereT tools to the town coun-
cils. In such cases the town board of
trade, like the rural agricultural society,
| can do much in saving the community
| from adverse impositions. The coming
together and the organization of the
solid men of every community, taking
an interest in local prosperity, can only
|be productive of good."Atlanta Con-
stitution.
The Rerceceor clips the above ar-
[ticle to show that its argument for a
Board of Trade in Greenville is along
the right line, There is much in what
the Constitution says that should be
considered by our business men. |

Greenville is Going to Have Water
Works.
In response to the call of Mayor Forbes
there was the largest gathering of citi-
zens in the Court House, Tuesday
night, that we have seen assembled to
take part in any matter looking to the
general progress of the town. Such an
outpouring of the Citizens shows that
they are becoming aroused to the
townTs needs and are ready to act t-
gether in matters pertaining to our
general welfure.
The meeting was called to order by
the Mayor, who after a few remarks
read the call previously published and
invited expressions of opinion from any
persons present. He said ifT the citi-
zens of the town want a water supply
they can have it, as the Board of Coun-
~cilmen stood ready and were going to
do just what a majority of the citizens
desired them to do. He hoped those
having anything to say would.say it in
the meeting and not wait to get out on
the streets to express themselves.
Atter a few momen ts silence H. T
King arose and said he supposed all
were Waiting for somebody to ostart
the ball.� He expressed himself as fa-
voring a regular system of water works
in preference to cisterns.
Alfred Forbes expressed himself fa-
vorable to cisterns, and said the town
could not-issae bonds for a system of
water works without a special act of
legislature, and it would be a year
from now before such act could be
passea. |
Mayor Forbes said if the town could
not issue bonds at present it could issue
notes, which would practically meet the
same purpose.
J. B. Cherry was called upon and
said not being informed as t» what a
standpipe and water mains would cost
he was not prepared to speak advisedly
on the subject, but suggested that the
meeting appoiny a committee of good
business men to take the matter under
consideration, and that the conclusion
reached by the committee be accepted
as the sentiment of the citizens of the
town. .
Following this suggestion a motion
was adopted to appoint a committee of
five, the following being selected : J.
G. Moye, W. B. Wilson, Alfred
Forbes, R. Greene and A. J. Griffin.
On motion ot Councilman Brown
the name of S.T. Hooker was added
to the committee, and on motion of
John Flanagan the name of Ed. La-
tham, Captain of the Rough and Ready
Fire Company, was added.
C. M. Bernard offered the following
resolution which was unanimously
adopted :
Ata meeting of the citizens of the

sense of this meeting that we are heart-

A Tale of Two Cities.
New York for some time past
has been making a big blow over
~ her broadness and magnanimity
~ and brotherly-loye and spirit of
fraternity, and all that,because of
the big joint parade of Federal
and Confederete veterans which
was to be held there on the com
ing Fourth of July. The ex-reb-
els were to wear gray and the ex:
~ Yanks blue. But all of a sudden
the commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic discovered
that body to be exceedingly hos-
tile to-marching side by side with
- men wearing a gray uniform, a
reminder of a cause which, as
their commander now says, the
G. A. R. oshot to death� thirty
yéars ago. So after all New
. York's brag and bluster, the par-
ade has been declared off. This
reminds us that Chicago is fast
- becoming, if she is not already,
the representative city of Amer-
jea. Chicago is the Northern
- @ity which has erected a monu-
ment in one of her beautiful
- parks, to Confederate soldiers
- who died in prison there during
the war. Chicago could never
have ofizzled� as New York has,
in this parade business. She
would have thought twice before
- undertaking such an enterprise,

Epenton, N. 0., March 2."Sat-
urday night at 1 o'clock A. M.
@ negro waa seen running from a
store window on Main street.
The crush of the broken window
attracted the attention of a white
man on the opposite side of the
street. He pursued the negro
whom he recognized as the man
at the broken window. He was
joined in the pursuit by a police-
man, andaftera long chase the
negro was overtaken. He resisted
arrest, but after desperate fight
ing, he was injured by a blow and
carried to jail.
This morning about ten ne-
groes went into the store of the
white man who assisted in the ar-
rest, and refused to leave the store
when ordered out. One of the
leaders pursued the man, running
him behind the counter and at-
tacking him. Then the merchant
shot the negro. ~Lhe white man

A SPARROW. HUNT.
-__
Hight Thousand Birds Kitied tin
- Afternoon.
*
lt Feemens Get See aed Every Year
g@nd Devote a Day to the Exter-
mination of the Little Eng~
The annual sparrow hunt is a big
event in several Ohio counties. It seems
to have originated in Summit county,
and. to this day the hunt is conducted
on a more elaborate scale in that part
of the state than anywhere else. Only
Fnglish sparrows are shot, and no mat:
ter how many are kdled, like KokoTs
victims, othey never will be missed.�
Early in the month of December the
farmers, having got everything stored
away neatly and safely, having pro-
vided plenty of. wood and having
boarded up the cattle sheds for the
winter, decided that. it was about time
to go on the warpath for sparrows. A
notice was posted up next day at Rich-
neld Center to this effect:
_*The annual sparrow hunt will be
-held to-morrow. All are invited, Please
be on hand not later than eight oTclock
a, ., Jotham Potter and Cyrus Hop-
respectively, and will choose sides at
7:45 a, m.�
On the following mcrning nearly 100
were ready for the hunt, It
armouncement in a farming communi-
ty in Ohio. Especially is this true dur-
ing the winter season, when there is
nothing that the younger people like
better than to visit around.
When the hunters came together it
was noticeable that nearly all of them
earried guns of modern make. Very
fev old-pattern pieces were shouldered
by the stalwart sons of the county, and
the army musket, which was so con-
spicuous immediately after the war,
was no longer noticeable. oCity foll:
hez done it all,� croaked Elder Paine.

hood must be armed with a new-fangled
gun wuth moreTn a hull summer's
work,�
As soon as the contestants could be
placed in line the captains chose their
men. It didnTt take long todo that, for
it doesnTt require much skill to shoot
[English sparrows. They are so tame
thatanyone can get close enough to pop
them over as fast as he can sight his
gun. The hunters with the guns thai
can be operated with the most speed
are almost certain to be those to make
the largest scores.
One side went up the valley and the
otuer side went down, the agreement
being to hunt in a circle and come to-
gether again at the center at a stipu-
lated tinie in the afterngon, all sparrows
to count up to the time that the con-
testants should report to the score-
keeper at the center.
In five minutes from the time that the
men started on their way the guns
Legan to bang. All up and down the
valley during the entire afternoon the
reports filled the air until the inhab-
itants might have been excused for be-
lieving that a war skirmish was going
on in the neighborhood. The spar-
rows never had been thieker. In fact,
they had been so thick during the sum-
mer months that they threatened to
eat the farmers out of house and home.
One peculiar factabout shooting spar-
rows is that thé noise of the guns seems
to frighten them. only temporarily.
They rapidly become accustomed to
the report, as they do to everything
else. They are the most complacent
little upstarts that ever immigrated into
the country. On Fourth of July the
same characteristie is noticeable. In
80| early morning, when the first few fire-
crackers or miniature torpedoes are dis-
charged, the sparrows will fly away
to the topmost branches of the trees
or to the eaves of the barns. and houses,
where they build nests, but before
nightfall they are back again on the
streets as chipper as ever, and only
raind a firecracker long enough to fly
a few feet away and sputter like the
mischief when it bursts. So it is
when hunting. The first discharge of
weapons early in the morning sent
the sparrows away to. their safest re-
treats, but by noon, between hunger
dreaded the,noise, they were out on
the roads, in the fields, about barnyards
and stealing the grain away from the
chickens, as though they never had
heard a shotgun.
As the sun began to sink in the west
late. Some of the huntérs were lucky,
and shot themselves out of ammunition
before they had been out two hours.
Others were not,.so fortunate, and
straggled in just.as daylight was about
finished. It has been one of the. best
days that the sparrow hunters ever had.
In round numbers. 8,000 birds were
| slaughtered. That averaged about, 50

are constantly mortified in cold weather
by the rough appearance of their fin-
ger nails, aie by by the fact that ~they
break and split. The intense cold causes
the nails to become so brittle that it
seems impossible to trim them so as to
make them smooth. The possessor of
such nails should cut them with nothing
except well-sharpened manicure scis-
sors, and the nails must never be cut
or filed unjess the fingers have first been
soaked in warm water. The brittleness
may sometimes be lessened by rubbing
almond oil thoroughly into the nails
und finger ends on retiring at night.
An ald pair of kid gloves must then be
pulled on. The housekeeper whose nails
break casily should never stir anything
on the hot range without first slipping
on a loose glove, as the dry heat from
the fire will make her nails more brittle
than ever. Neither must she allow her-
self to stay out of doors for a moment
without having her hands protected
from the cold, which is even more in-
jurious than the heat. All these pre-
cautions may seem to be a bother, but
in the end are worth while."HarperTs
