the establishment of a fund lor
rudimentary schools lor Soul horn ^
negroes was announced here to- v
night The donor is Miss Anna ^
T. Jeane9, a Quakeress of this
city. Booker T. Washington, *
head of Tuskegee Institute, and ^
Uolhe Burke Fri^sell, president v
of the Llarapton Normal and In- c
dustrial Institute, are named as ^
trustees of the fund, but neither *
ol the institutions they represent N
will share in the gift. The in- '
come of the million dollars is to 0
be used for the sole purpose ol c
assisting in the ''Southern Un 6
ited States community country *
and rural schools for the great ,
class of negroes to whom the
small rural and community 1
schools are alone available."
Miss Jeanes, the donor, is 1
about 80 years of age, and comes c
from an old and wealthy family *
that has been prominent lor more h
than a century in the society ot s
Friends. She has long been in- 1
terestod in the well fare of. the ne- *
gro and has been a contributor

to institutions for their educa
tion. She has known Booker '
Washington for a decade.

Big Improvement in the Cot- j
Gin.
Charlotte Observer: Messrs T.
M. Webb and T. J. Davis have
invented an improvement upon
the present cotton gin that prom- j
ises to revolutionize the system. ^
The improvement has been test

CU (tilLI 1WUI1U IU Ut5 iV SUHUCBS,
(]
The simple little touch given by ^
these Charlotte gentlemen saves
one third of the cost and half the (
time in ginning a bale of cotton.
In other words, if the invention
g
could be added to every gin in j
the country the cost of ginning
a 13,000,000 bale crop would bo j
reduced from $26,000,000 to ^
#17,333,334.
Expert gin men have seen the j
gin tried and they declare til it (
it is the best, and only material ^
change made in the saw gin since
it was invented.
The power cost now is about 30
cents a bale, but the Wobb-Davis
patent will reduce that 10 cents,
and the bale can be ginned in s
half the time. c

Saved Strings Thirty-two i
Years. j.
(Reading, I'a, Dispatch in New (
York World). j
For 32 years Mrs. Sarah Herb, J
of this place, has been saving fl
strings that have come into her I
home tied around store goods N
and winding them iuton ball. I
The ball at present measures 15 Jinches
in circumterence and I
weighs 10 pounds. J
The string, if unwound, would r
stretch from Reading to Buyer- J
town, a distance of 18 miles. !
Solidity of the ball shows with
what care the woman wrapped
it. It is hard as a rock, and
feels like a bag of lead after being
held for five minutes. i
The Herb family was a'ways i
small, otherwise the ball might <
have weighed, 50 pounds or more i
by this time.
