Major ('arson's chief interest now, fiowever. is not with the immigrants J vho are to arrive at the port of Char- j eslon, but with the manufacturers of ^>r si>u(b and the way in which they pack their goods fur shipment to for- t eign countries for sale. "I have been living to make the manufacturer- of the United States see the necessity of belter packing in j ^oods intended for foreign shipment,''I Major Carson said, "because until '.ve learn lo pack our goods as well as ! those in (lertnany and other countries, 1 with which we have to compete, when ! they are offered for sale, we will nev- j er get their full value. Take Ibe people in South Carolina, for instance. They pack goods in many eases for) foreign ports just '.ike they would pack them to go to Charleston. What is the result 1 Why simpiy that when they reach t 1mmr destination, after being carried from mill to car, from car to steamer, and tlicn possibly to more cars, steamers or wagons, they are in a badly damaged condition, all because they were not properly packed in the first instance. "I have been hammering at the manufacturers of the country since I became the head of this bureau to see that their goods were better packed; to insist upon better packing, and to have nothing else. It is hard to believe, but in many eases I have received replies from manufacturers ? !; ? had become angry with mo beivuse of my efforts. They said: 'Why don't you get after the other fellow?' Well, it is no| the other fellow who sends hi> goods hero that we are alter. Wo must let him alone. Let him pack his goods as badly as he plen.-es.

The woman labor wa cheap, and as long as they were lei alone to take as much time as the liked over the work and do it as the wished they were all right. '{' Ilis next experience wa.s higher u the coast, in west Africa. Labor wa short and they decided to try womei to carry stones. They carried the firs two loads and then they struck. Those women quite altered the con ditions of carrying stones. They ear ried them for a certain distance, bu three or four relays had to be provid ed. Alter that they weie tried ,a carrying sand and thing's like that I hey went on for n short while, bu did I he work in lils and starts. In another place, also 011 the wes coast, where women had been triet against the black men. it was fount that for carrying in firewood (he; were by lar the best and cheapest I here o| course, they were on pieci work, althougli their tickets wen marked just the same as if they wen on day work. Their hask was to carry in a cord ol wood a day. I hey used to start abou 4..10 a, m. and went on carrying unti 1 and 1 ..It) 'ill !> or 10. Then if the> wanted to ui t off early the next da; I hey used to carry another cord o wood in the afternoon or a part of it I hey were a decided success, bu they were very particular as It whether the cord of wood was exact ly in what they called their circle They ditl not mind how close it wa; to the boilers, but if it were a litth over their distance they would go It the manager and want an increase th reel ly.
