PHENOMINAL MILL BUILDING. |'
The State's Record Now Over $71,000
Per Day For This Year. I
The record of South Carolina in the
matter of the projection of new capital
in cotton mills since Jan. 1 can no
longer be classed merely as wonderful;
it is phenomenal, and indeed it is to be 1
doubted if there has ever been such a
6purt in any industry during the same
length of time in the world.
Surely the cotton mills arc coming to
the cotton fields. They are being
moved Prom their old nests, but' the
people ut.home arc building them and
putting their money into them. The
rate at which cotton mills are being
established In South Carolina just now j
means that the State Is In the midst of !
industrial revolution the like of !
which has not been known in the his- ^
lury \jl tu?> oun.e. i lie mm ugurcs.
officially recorded, in the office of the
secretary of State, tell the tale more
forcibly than 1>t can be presented in an
yother way. They show that South
Carolina at her present break-neck
pace will not be long in standing at :
the forefront of the manufacturing !
districts of the country.
Taking into consideration Tlnirs- :
day's new mills, and the fact there hav ]
been ten Sundays since January 1st, I
the daily average of capital put into
cotton mills since the opening of tho
year is very nearly $71,000 j I
On Wednesday the papers tiled in the
office of the secretary of State showed
$1500,000 put in new mills; Thursday
the jump was a greater one. being
$4.70,000, making very nearly a million
dollars of new cotton mill capital in
two days.
This drives up the total capitalization
of new mills since January 1. in
eluding the Easlu.v mill, chartered a
few days ugo, to the astonishing total
of $1,525,000, over four ami one-half ,
million dollars. Thursday's official re- j
cord was ns follows:
A commission was issued to the lee- ;
man mills of McColl, Marlboro county,
the capital of which is tc? be $200,000. '
The corporators ore K. P. Tatum, T. j
II. Gibson, A. W. Morrison, Ohairlea leeman,
and A. K. Odom.
Then a charter was granted to the i
Alpha cotton mills of .loneaville, Union
county, capitalized at $100,000. The
officers a-rr W. U. Llttlejohn, presi- i
nent. and J. J. Idttlejohn, secretary
and treasurer.
The Anderson yarn and knitting j
mills filed with tho secretary of State j
nonce or the increase of its capital \
from $50,000 to $200,000, and the chang- J
ing of fhe name of -the concern to the
I Riverside Manufacturing company.
ThiB means $150,000 of new capital. If
the company continues in the knitting j
business it will perhaps have the largest
knitting imlll in the South.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Official bulletin on Condition of tiraln j
and Fruits.
Special inquiry, under date of March
t?. 1 900 was made by this office, as to
the (present condition and prospects of
fruit, and the condition of what and
oats. The replies received' repersent all
sections of the State, and give the conditions
up to March 10. 1900. They hav?
been summarized as follows:
Fruits.?The cold weather during
February kept fruit buds from developprematurely.
In the more southerly
portions of the State, plum trees are
In full bloom, and may have liwn <
slightly injured, while other fruit trees ,
'have not generally begun to bloom, and
are -apparently uninjured. In other portions
of the State, the buds sire only j
now beginning to swell. The pro&poots
for fruit are very promising at this
ru.x-tv mrj "uoijO'S oSprn oqi ui o)i:p
peaches may be slightly injured. I
not enough to mater: illy affect the size
of the crop. The present indications
point to large yields of peaebee?. plums,
pears, and probably apples, as well as
the several varieties of wild berries.
Wheat. Where the lands were prop- j
erly prepared and wheat properly seed- j
ed. it suffered little or no injury during
the winter, and although small, is
promising. Some fields have been
slightly winter-killed, but good stands
itr*' voiunum.
O.vts.?'The condition of oats varies
but little over the entire State, and
the reports relating thereto have prac- j
ticnlly the same tenor, although those
from Uio southeastern portions represent
slightly better <*ondition than
<iho. e from the nortliern anil western
counties*. Such fields as were sown ear.
ly in the fall on thoroughly prepared
anil well fertilized lands, are in fairly
good condition, although the stands
were somewhat thinned by the Fehru- ,
urv freezes. Fields that were poorly
prepared, that receive*! little or no
manuring, and were sown late in the
fall, are in very poor condition. This
is especially true of oats on light sandy
soils. On many such fields the stand ,
is practically all winter-killed, and the
lands will be devoted to other crop.
January and February sowings are just
coming up. it having been loo cold and
wet for rapid germination up to March j
1st.
Unless the subsequent weather eon- '
ddtlons are extremely favorable, and
the conditions materially improved it is
thought Uiere cannot be over half .t 1
crop of oats, in yield per ucr? , esti- |

A hub' writes to me ami tasks what j?
really meant In' the "noodlle's eye" in
the parable of the rich ntvn. I remember
read'ng some where 'Must it was the

wtallod city of Jeritseiam, and that a
loaded camvl had: to be stripped of its

But I do riot, find t hat in any eomtmentary.
It was just one of the tlioiu-.and
provcrlrs that adorned the moral tearhiugs
of tiliie .lews a red the easDemn nations.
The writings of .lob and Solomon

this proverb: "The impious man wiil
find tIn* gales of heaven shut, ur.d he
can lie more enter t-lram a e.um 1 can
p.u-4s through a needle's ey?e." There j
is another in the Koran which says: |
"You will in ver see a palm tree of gold |

meant that, it (v.n< ainn aiiio 1

A young man eager for knowledge |
writes to know why it is that when
you reverse a number and subtract the
less from the greater the difference
is always nine or some multiple of
niue. and nine will divide i;. without
a remainder. Me wants to know the
reason why. This is rather complex,
but the reason is plain when you see
it_ lly reversing a number you change
the numerical value of every figure in
it; units boeome tens or hundreds or
thousands, and vice vetvu; and hence
if you subtract a unit, from a ten it
leaves nine. Take ton. for instance,
and reverse it. and it is 01. it was ten
before and it is 1 now, and the difference
is obliged to be nine. Take 91
and reverse it and you change 9 tens
to 8 units, and 1 unit to I ten; gaining
81 and losing 9, which makes 72; a
multiple of 9. Now if you add instead i
of subtract the sum will be 11 ut yme j
multiple of 11, 10 and 01; 13 *tu
make +1; 16 and 61 make 77; 24 and 42
make 66; all multiples 'j[ 11. Tbv <omnl?r;:t'.?
u.Hv! leshlts of figures are
many and very wonderful. They train
the mind and strain the mind. I knovr
they did mine when I was struggling
through trigonometry and calculus. A [
hoy can fudge and smugglo along 1
throuh Ijatin and Greek with the help
of translations, but he can't foos the
professor on the blackboard.
Another enquiring mind wishes to
know why it is that the first day of
May and the following Christmas always
come on ike same day of the
week. Well, it can't help it, that's all.
for there are thirty-four even weeks
from cue to the other. Hut Christmas [
day i'.id the first of the next May don't
fit. February comes in and knocks the i
e\into odd. i
A Florida girl writes that her alma- j
nao i-i all wrong. fr>r it gives February
only twenty-eight days, notwithstand- j
Ing this 1s a leap year. Yes, Miss, this
is leap year, hut it don't leap. The I
last year in ov? ry century has to he i
skipped as a leap year, for old father
time gains a day in every hundred
years, and the clock has to be set
back twenty-four hours.

I would say that niger is really the
origin and the most proper name for
the race.
