Hines & Hamilton encourage-ment and.aid in yetting on their. feetazain ? Only a few days ago the: ~writer heard Mr. Hamilton say that hep | had every dollar that he possessed inthe world invested in the plant thatwas Monday totally destroyed. Asmost people k now it has not been verylong since these gentlemen lost aboutten thousand dollars by fire, and as amatter of coruse, with noaid but theirown, they were compelled to use theirE | creditin getting up again, The insur-ance that they carried at the last firewas entirely for the benefit of their ered-R | itors, go it dan be seen at present theyare totally without everything uponwhich to make a new start. Since theyhave been in Greenville they havemade a good fight, and as business menof the highest rank they have clearlyshown tkemselves in their dealings withthe people here. The writer is toldthat their entire pay roll for logs andlabor averaged from ten to fifteen hun-dred dollars per week. This moneyswelled the volume of business of Green-ville and helped every enterprise here,and as above stated, would it not bebusiness policy for the people here tohelp them up again? We have madesome enquiries of these gentleman andthey say say with the support they canget from abroad and the business theyalready have, with five thousand dol-lars of ready cash they ocould replacethe plant aud get it in running shapeagain,, Now cannot some means beaddgeed by whieh the community canaid them to} this ~extent? Jost think| of it"they pay out nearly or quite thatamount every month, the most of itright here in Greenville and by ex-tending them this aidhere at home itwill the better enable them to commandindulgence and aid from abroad. Thesegentlemenare not at all upon a beg ggingexpedition, but they have lost andlost heavily, and the community has.lost, and unless some aid is given themat preserit it looks very doubtful thatthe plant will be rebuilt. The publicest m this matter. If this support canneed, a great good will have been donethe community, and the proper en-couragement and aid at the proper timegiven these estimable and enterprisinggentlemen. J. L.

Ifsuct. is the state of affairs it showsgreat negligence on the part ot thetown authorites. It is certainly theduty ot the town to keep the fire en-gine in perfect working order, and wetrust that the new Board of Council-men now taking charge will see that}:Greenville has ~sufteredthis is done.enough already because of inadequateprovision for fighting fire.Kinston Ready to Assist Her Neigh-bor.There is no tie that can more closelybind people and communities togetherthan that wrought through misfortune.The hand of assistance that is extendedin time of distreess touches a pulse otgratitude which throbs stronger andis more lasting than can be caused inany-other way. In this respect Green-ville feels especially drawn toward thegood people of Kinston, That townduring the past year having sufferedgreat calamity because of fires, knowswell how tu sympathize with others inthe midst of like afflictions, and her ef-forts to come to the aid ot Greenvillefwhen such misfortunes were sweepingdown upon us cements more firmly theties of friendship between the twe townsand arouses the deepest feelings of grat-itude in the breasts of our people. In| @epespeaking of MondayTs fire here and the] %call for the Kinston company to come toour assistance, the Free Press says :oThe telegram from Greenville for |our fire department came about 1 :30oTclock.

This ore body, with thatof the Adams, Vega and Fayal mines,with which it is believed to be connect-ed, is one of the largest on the range,and six months ago its existence, ex-cept so far as the mines named wereconcerned, was scarcely conjectured.Among the holders of Mesaba ore theLake Superior Consolidated Iron minesis far ahead in quantity of ore held,much of it, being, however, under mineral lease to other operators, and moreof it being held by the Consolidatedunder lease from the original holders.Owing to some circumstances connect-ed with the formation of the companyby Mr. RockefellerTs associates its hold-ings were obtained at small expense,and owing to the same circumstancesit is difficult to separate the cost ofthe mines from that of the road, whichfell into Mr. RockefellerTs hands at thesame time. It is safe to assume that$1,500,000 paid for all the so-called Mer-_| ritt properties that went into the Con-solidated company, together with allcosts connected with their admissioninto .theT company, including somesubsequent settlements. These. prop-erties, some of which are lease andsome fee, are believed by the most con-servative to contain 70,000,000 tons ofore of various grades. In addition tothese the company has the Adamsmine, the Lake Superior, the LoneJack and the McKinley and the Rouche-leau-Ray 80 under option. These willhave cost, when the option is taken up,about $2,500,000, and contain not lesethan 95,000,000 tons of ore. The LukeSuperior leases are figured as coveringat least 50,000,000 tons, and the Adamslease is put at a very conservative fig-ure, far below what the owners arewilling to concede. There is here atiron holding of not far from 160,000,000tons, all obtained at a round cost of$4,000,000.The Minnesota Iron company hasabout. 40,000,000, tons in sight at theMesaba mines, and for them it has paidalmost $1,000,000. Some of the largestare leases. In addition to their ownmines, the company has a tonnage con-tract with the Vega, which is regardedas one of the most important minesof the range, with, perhaps. 10.000,000tons im sight.The Roucheleau-Ray company stillholds not far from 30,000,000 tons, ofwhich about. two-thirds is fee. TheSauntry exploration is estimated atnot far from 15,000,000 tons. TheFowler explorations, the Seeurity Landholdings, mostly under option tothe Minnesota Iron company; thesmaller properties, contain at least 30,-000,000 tons. There remain the vastholdings of the Wright and Davis syn-dicate on.the western part of the rangeon which are several mines and anenormous amount of partially exploredlands. A report made on these hold-ings for the Minnegota. Iron companya year ago, and ~on which the lattercompany based an offer for the entiretract, showed them to contain ore esti-mated at about 60,000,000 tons.The Minnesota Iron company paidabout, $8,000,000 for the CharlemagneTower imterests.on the VefmilionRange. - Nobody -outside the. of-ficers of the eompany, and.probablynot they themselves, kwow the ore hold-ings inthe ur leveloped Jands theyown, though the mines at presentworked have been pretty well pune-tured by. the diamond drill, and for1,000 feet down are as well understood~Yas if they ~were sliced bare, Vast asj these holdings are, they sink into in-significance, so far as the totals go,compared to thequantities on the sister range.

Mr. Harrell lived for six yearsin Japan, occupying the chair of Eng-lish in the leading university of thatcountry, and there he met his futurewife, who was the first child of whiteparents born in the mikadoTs domin-ions. Mrs, Harrell not only speaksJapanese like a native, but she is pro-foundly versed in the literature of thecountry. Mr. Harrell is now connectedwith the great shipping firm of N. J.Robinson & Co., and he comes to theUnited States to contract for somehigh-power guns, to be used by theChinese in defending several of theirimportant rivers.oThe Chinese government,� said he,ois in a bad way, and any organizedeffort to overthrow it, if backed by afew capable and determined leaders,would doubtless be successful. Thepresent dynasty is very unpopular, anda great many people were glad bucauseof its humiliation by the Japanese. Thedespotic rule of the mandarins hasdeadened all patriotic feeling. Theyare non-progressive as well as tyran-nical, and block the ways to the open-ing of the empire to railroads, tele-graph lines and all other accompani-ments of civilization. As long as themasses can be kept in ignorance theirpower and prestige will be secure. Themandarins incited the lower classes tothe recent massacre of the mission-aries, but the instigators were shrewdenough to escape punishment them-selvesoBut it will not do to underrate theChinese because of their defeat by asmaller nation. With proper militaryorganization they would prove a for-midable foe to any power on earth.The men are brave, and they only nee~ltraining to become first-class soldiers.oAs a business people they are farsuperior to the Japanese. When a Chi-nese merchant gives his word it issacred; there is no use in putting acontract in writing when dealing withthem, and if in rare cases one defaulis,his relatives or friends cheerfully com-ply with the obligation. On the con-trary, the Japs will break their wordwhenever self-interest dictates, and theonly way to deal with them is by writ-ten instruments. They are bright andclever, but lacking in the solid and en-during qualities of the Chinese.oShanghai is one of the most beau-tiful and well-kept cities of the east,and well deserves the title of ~LittleParis.T In some ways it is the mostpeculiar city or earth. The nativeshave a government of their own, andthe foreigners are allowed to governthemselves.
