Hot ween sixty and seventy perseus lost their lives. A portion tho powder works and seores of houses were destroyed. Tho accident la attributed to the reek leanness of tho workmen tn handling tho explosivo?. Most notable of th? f?atare? of tho annual mooting of tho Southern Educa tional Association at Richmond, Va., wa? the prominence gi von to the subj oct of technical training. Its discussion wa? In a oertaln measure the chorus of ft song wbloh ba? been heard a? a solo with greater and greater froquenoy in different part? o? tb? South, and a song which ought to be merged tn the muslo of hundreds of dotton mills, rolling mills, flour mills and machine shop?. Already such centers of Industry Ar? partici pating In the concert by doing A little technical training on their own account. They are educating thousands of boy? and girls aud young men to habit? of industry and application and to a certain Kielli in tho operation of tho machinery no muoh noeded in the South. But in 'ho naturo of th lng* th oy cannot go far enough to moot all domands. Tho cry for industrial training made by the Southern oduoators at Richmond means something greater than ability to earn a daily wage tending a machino of one kind and another, lt ls explained by tho suggestions boro and thore of men in OIOHO touch with industrial oonditlons i. id qualified to judgo of their needs. For oxamplo, In his elaborate report of tho work dono at Clemson College, S. 0., President Hartzog goos to some troublo to explain tho workings Of tho textile dopaitmont and tho work it ls doing In acquainting young mon with tho process of tho manufacturo of handsome ging ham towelings, moroorisod goods and other lino fabrics, and ho Illustrates tho Industrial importauoo o? such education hy calculations showing that South Caro lina's cotton orop of 800,000halos, worth, at seven couts a pound, $28,000,000, would, if manufactured into twills at thirty-two couts a pound, be worth $128,000,000; into satino weaves, at sov cnty-ilve couts a pound, $800,000,000; into mercerized ohooks, at one dollar a pound, $100,000,000, and Into imitation swlvol silks, at two dollars a pound, $800,000,000. Thon, too, President Goorge T. Winston, of North Carolina Collogo of Agriculture and Moohanlo Arts makes a plea that tho rapid growth of manufac tures In tho State, tho opening of now Industrios, tho utilization of water power, tho development of intensivo and diversified agriculture, tho inoreaso in thu number of electric plants, water works, cold-storage plants and similar Industrios requiring machinery aro cre ating an increasing demand for engi neers, draughtsmen, electricians, mach In lets, mechanics, textile wolluns, dairy men, stockmen and farmers whioh North Carolina ought to supply, and wbloh tho college in intended to hulp it to supply. Tennessee is agitating for greater atten tion to bo gd ven to Industrial training; tho regents of tho University of Texas in their last report recommend that tho young mon of tho State bo givou facili ties at homo for technological education, so that a chango may bo mado in a situ ation wbloh shows that of tho employes in responsible positions where any me chanical skill or technical knowlodgo is demanded less than fi por cent aro I.at ive Toxans, and (tovernor .Jones of Arkansas will advocate tho passage by tho coming legisla)ure of that State of an not pro viding for tho establishment of a textile school. Tho cry ls becoming stronger. Tho mon who hopo to gain prominence lu tho futuro polltios of their respective States should not dolay in hooding lt. It comes from n strong belief that tho South, with all its advantages, though notsufllolontly fitted to moot tho duties of tho nearby futuro, ls capable of fitting itself in timo. - Manufacturers' Record.

Marseille?, January ll.-All the pas scrutera and crew of tho stranded steamer HussLo, 102rsouls in all, were rescued from the jaws o? death this morning by the heroic efforts of the lifesavers, di roc ted by Bear Admiral Ber ?on. For four days thoso people had been in the maw of the sea ou the Russlo, wbloh wont aground at, Parara on on Monday. Tho vessel was half submerged and only'the forward part was above Water. . The sea ran bigh aud great waves dashed furiously over the vessel. Tho stranded steamer was in plain view of the shore and tho life-savers went to work with tho desperate oouriago for Vf blob they are famous. It was known that a hundred lives were at stake, and for this prize tho brave seamen tolled tirelessly and with rare skill. Tho sea ran high and no one knew how badly the hull of the vessel was shattorod; no one knew what moment lt would go t o y locos. So tho life-savors worked on, trying to get aline to tho stranded steam or. No pen can describo the susponso, tho moments of hopo and tho moments of' anguish on that vwol, as effort after effort was mndo to roach the ehip with a lino, and time after time tho effort failed. Onoo tho lino reached tho Russie, but it parted beforo tho hausor to swing tho brooohos buoys oould bo mado fast. . A sooond timo tho lino shot ovor tho vessel and was mado fast. A sooond timo it parted. Still tho storm had not spont its fury and tho foroo of tho waves was not abated. For four agonizing days the susponso continued. At last, at daylight this morning, tho brooohos buoy apparatus was mado fast to tho ship and tho rosouo bogan. First tho children, thou tho women, thou tho passongors, then tho orow, woro pulled to sboro In tho brooohos buoy that hung by a pulley whloh rolled along tho oablo from tho ship to tho shore. As a motlier put hor ohild into tho buoy and stood on tho ship, watching tho precious burdon aa it was pulled to tho breach above tho roaring waves by tho stoady hands of tho seaman, no words cnn tell tho mingled fooling* of hopo and four, of joy and anxiety, v/hloh agitated her bosom. Child after ohild was pulled ashore in tho buoy; thon tho mothers followed; thon tho rest. Hundreds of spectators stood on tho beach ohooring tho rosouo nnd swarming around tho sufforors, oagor to minister to thoir wants, comforting tho fright ened children and rejoicing with tho happy parents. At last all wore on shove, 102 of tho passongors and orow, safo and sound, but exhausted by four days' of agoniz ing suspense. At 8 o'olook this morning Admiral Horson toi CK ra ph cd from Karani on that everybody bad boon landed and that none woro injured or ill, though all woro worn by thoir terrible experience. Alice ting scenes of rejoicing took placo at tho offloos of tho steamship company boro when tho nows of tho rosouo was mado known. The Kassie was a Frenoh mail steamer of 023 not tons registered, and was bound from Oran, in Algeria, for Mar solllos. Most of tho pass <ngors nro Fronoh oilioials from Algiers, or French soldiers.

William V. King, superintendent of tho Now York Cotton Exohniigo, has given out some interesting figur?n, showing tho remarkable growth of tho United States as a cotton produoing country during tho last century. From a orop of 0,000 halos in 1700, this nation has expanded its production of tho iloooy staple until now it amounts to an average of 10,000,000 halos yonrly. Tho following ilguros illustrates its growth in this rognrd : Total production. Halos. 1800-1801. 120,000 1821-1822. 525,000 1831-1835. 1,1150,000 J850-1851. 2,450,000 1800-1801..,.'.. 3,850,000 1870-1871.4,350,000 1880 1881.3,000.000 1800-1801. 8,052,000 1888-1881).11,274,000 1800-1000 . 0,430,000 Mr. King points out that the increase In production is still moro romarknblo If WO consider that ill 1800 tho average weight por halo was about 225 pounds. Dy 1820 it had increased to 200 pounds, 1840 to 305 pounds, from which period tho weight has steadily increased until tho present average of about 500 pounds has boon reached. While our produoing powor enables ns to supply tho world with raw mate rial, tho vapid increase of our spinning industry is no loss a matter of prido. In 1850 tho qunntity of cotton consumed In this country was loss than 500,000 bales, in 1870it had increased to 1,000,000 bales, last yoar tho taking of tho mills amounted to 8,005,000halos. Thoso striking flguros, Mr. King nd mit?, aro vory largely tho result of recent industrial enterprise in tho South And tho now oontury, ho says, begins with n growing demand for American cotton ill tho oriental markets, which lomani! promises to opon a now and important nvonuo of which our produo ?rs and manufacturers will not be slow to tako advantage. Tho completion of tho Nicaragua canal is all that romains to glvo our cotton freo outrance in tho Pnoldo islands and tho far east and this (viii bo realized beforo tho oontury is yory old._^ . _ Frosh Meats tor Rion Only.

The total not profits to the State on account of tho sohool fund aro $170,012.18. Tho total not profite to tho counties and towns are $208,200.28, making a total net profit to the towns, counties an'd sohool fund, $174,178.40. The latest dispensary - aot, approved February 10, 1000, made our fiscal year, dose on November 80, whioh makes it neoossary that this report only covers cloven months; but should we consider December also, and reckon a whole year, you Will find that the total net oamings are, for twelvo months, $500,808.79, whioh is an inorease ovor last year's profit of $152,080.90. We do not attribute this phenomenal Inorease in earnings to anyMnorease in consumption of Honors, but think that a bettor feeling towards tho dispensary' law has turned tho trade to the dispen sarlos. , Tho mombors of tho board feel that in tho showing above mado thoy have much causo for congratulation, inasmuch as I Senator Tillman, at tho time of the incep tion of tho institution, enthusiastically predicted that the not profits would aggregate $500,000 annually, whereas tb o profits for tho past year, as will be seen abovo, amount to the sum of $500,808,70.

Leavenworth, Kan,, January 12.-Miss Eva Roth, a woll known young woman of this oity, was attacked on a fashion able rosldonoo street of this oity to-night by a nogro named Frod Alexander. Miss Both, who is employed at oue of tho largo stores, was going homo and whoa opposite tho residence of Professor EvaiiB, of the high school, on South Broadway, sho was mot by Aloxandor, who seized her around the throat and throw hor to tho ground. Miss Both oriod for help and when Professor Evans responded, Alexander fled. A crowd gathored qulokly, among them a young .colored girl, who told who the assailant was, and Aloxandor was soon captured ?and taken to tho polioo station, j News of tho attempted assault sproad Uko wild fire aud in a few momenta tho streets around the station were filled with excited mon, determined to lynch ?ho negro.. Tbo polioo, in tho meantime, spirited him away to tho state peniten tiary at Lansing, and when the doors of the station were broken open no one was found. Misa Roth identified Alexander as her assailant. The polioo suspect Alexander as being the murderer of Miss Pearl Forbes, who waa assaulted and killed November Oth, three blooka west of the no ono of to night's attempt.

Old land roarke must ?Ivo way to the march of progress, and "The Kicker" would suggest that the little brick hooso in the conter of Main street take a back seat or rather a back street. Although hallowed memories cluster ar?Mnd this building, and we are oarrlod baok to the annual gatherings of the old Mountaineer Fire Company, in gay apr patel, preparatory to a day of happiness lu the woods, and what big boy in ?nd near Walhalla does not remember the greased pole, bag and foot races, flylng jon iy and other amusements? lt?t it baa outlived ito usefulness, and the little engl e has been supplanted by tho big steam pump at the Walhalla Cotton Mills, the pride of the town, whose gen? ero us management is ever willing to re* spond when the oall for aid is sounded. Wo love the little engine for the good she has done, and do not advise that she be abandoned until we aoeure our splen did waterworks (in futuro), bot let the now oounoil remove the building to some side street, thereby ouhanoing tho beauty of our already magnificent thoroughfare. . * *. Why don't the business and profes sional mon of Walhalla organize a busi ness league. There is plenty of work ahead for such an organisation, and "The Kicker" would suggest a few things whioh should be taken up at once, viz: Perpetuating Semi-Centennial Day with an annual carnival, giving the Gun Club a big place in the programme; inviting manufacturers c'oslring a loca tion or wishing to remove their plante; encouraging people to build nloe small houses for rent; inviting every military company in the State to go into camp here during noxt Rummer and tender the necessary grounds free. The Fort Motte Guards, who spent ten days bore last summer, were highly pleased with their camp grounds and the treatment accorded thom, by our people. "The Kickor" knows that wo were pleasod to have them with us. Would not the ' grovo at Mr. F. W. Plopor's be an ideal spot for a oamp of five to ten oompanlos, and the pasture a grand place for dress parade and base ball, and tho oreek, screened by a board fonoo, a magnificent placo to bathe?
