Keeping the Streets Clean.
Apropos our remarks last week i
anent the efforts of the Civic League
to keep the streets clean and I
their apparent discontinuance thereof,
one of the leading members
of the league has explained to
us why the work could not be
I
carried on anv longer. In the]
fir;t place the man employed t< ?'
look after the side-walks had mor<work
attend to than he could
manage and do justice to each of
his several avocations and watherefore
released from his employment
by the league, partly hecause
he did not do the work
satisfactorily and partly l>ecause
the depleted treasury of the league
did not justify them to continue
hiring a man to do the work
that should properly come within
the province of the town
council. An appeal has been
made to the new council by rep- j
resentatives of the league and j
they have promised that arrange- :
nients will soon he made to keep
the side-walks in letter condition !
by the council, thus relieving the;
ladies of a hurUn tliat tluy;
* !
never .-hoal 1 haw felt it neeess- j
ary for them to assume. Aone
of the momU-rs remarked, ti.?
fund- of tiie league should hej
at-plied t-? beautifying, ti town
. aft.:- the city fathers have
had the -tre<*?- cleaned suf
lk'ii-nt'y t> give th<- ladie.- ai
working I?:i. is and enc.>urag?- then,
in t!.<.ir etlorl- tt> make the town
pretty and attractive.
\W thought all the while that
the ladies were doing more than i
their share in undertaking to keep
the side-walks clean, but as one
of them put it, it seemed that
unless they did this work it
would not he done at all.
Now, the thing to do is for
the city council to have the
drudgery work done for the Civic
League, whose members will then
l?e able to expend their energies
and finances in making us a
city beautiful.
The Cotton Picker.
Despite the many reputed successful
cotton-picking machines that
failed to meet the requirements of
practical work, we cannot but believe
that many people who have
I
"\ if.;' v-v>; ;| !? :!i.'!l>tr:ltio!i t

I Ik.' v. 'f(l fit inw .?:
! will ring ;f on: a ivvoiutio.i ;?i
J industrial condition- throughout
tlu' South. A- one man remarked
when lit- -aw its work, the
invention of this machine ranks
next to that of the cotton gin
hv Eli Whitney.
Assuming that the cotton-picker
is a success, we would not
advise our farmer friends to rejoice
prematurely, for in our
opinion such an invention, if
perfected for practical work, would
|
create a monopoly of cotton production
among large landowners,

cultivation. Moreover, tin- production
of cotton ii-Tct' for. i
(m1, in tin.' larger States of the
Cotton Helt hy inability to harvest
the ( !*o; . would proha' 'v V
ineroa-ri fr in 1 iftv to a hundred
per cent, and the price would
natural!;* vary in inverse ratio
to trie increase in hales produced.
How many !arnn rs in \\ illiamsburg
county could afford a
Price-Campbell picker costing eight
or te thousand dollars? We
have no idea that the machine
j when placed on the market could
1 be bought for less.
I Again, in Texas and several
j other States we are told that the
j natural soil without any fertili 11
l J i i l . .
i zer win yuia a oaie 01 couon
to the acre, and that these States
could supply about enough cotton
to meet the world's demand
if they could get it picked. If
this l>e true the cotton-picker will
1 play right into these farmers'
I hands, as it will mean the untieing
of our cotton farmers,
! some of whom to make a hale
of cotton per acre use twentyfive
to thirtv dollars worth of
fertilizers.
With these things in view we
are inclined to hope that the
Price-Campbell machine, or any
other cotton-picker, will never be
successful, as long as such an invention
would enrich one part of
our South-land at the expense of
the other. Bad as it is to see
the cotton wasting in the fields
when it is worth eight cents a

Two Notable Editions.
Two notable editions among the
many newspapers of the State
came to our desk last week.
The sixty-four page Sunday State
eclipses any similar achievement
even on the part of that enterprising
journal for just a regular
j Sunday issue. In point of the
quantity and excellence of the
contents this issue of the State
would do credit to any newspaper
published in the United
States.
None the less meritorious in
its restricted field is the fortyeight
page Industrial. Edition of our
esteemed contemporary, the Dar
lington News and Press. Editor
Spears and his readers are equally
deserving of congratulation and
commendation for this admirable
paper, the composite work of

Died Prom Bad Wrklng.
German handwriting attains a degree
of illegibility unknown in Latin
script. A tragic Instance of this fact ,
was afforded by the death of Johann ,
Bacher. an Austrian musician of the
last century. Bacher spent most of
his leisure for fifteen years In compiling
a history of the Viennese opera.
When the manuscript was completed
be submitted it to the Imperial academy,
which had promised to pnblish it.
In three months it was returned with
a statement that no member of the j
academy could decipher it. Bacber
then sought to have It copied, but no j
copyist capable of deciphering it was 1
to be found. As a last resource be determined
to dictate his work to an
amanuensis only to dlsoorer that the
gaoator pert of the manuscript wm
illegible even to himself. The thought
at frte wasted years of labor unhinged
his brain, and in a fit of depression be j
ootnmitted suicide.
Gomg Back a Long Way.
Pick up any peerage book and you
will find it bristling with ancestral
names whose presence Is much more
difficult to explain than that of the fly I
in the amber. And as you descend in J
the social scale the fictions multiply?
from the |>edlgrees of the landed gentry j
to the family trees proudly cherished in
hundreds of middle class homes. But i
these lineages, aspiring as they are.
are of mushroom growth compared ,
with many that are claimed with seeming
honesty. At Mosfyn hall yon may
see a vellum roll, seven yards long,
beaded by no less famous an ancestor
than "Adam, son of God." Another
pedigree at tbe college of heralds
starts thus modestly with Adam and
the garden of Kden. and Wale;? has
many a family tree which traces descent
with unerring hand front the
same remote origin.
Whjt Became of '.he Trousers.
Of Judge Parry's many stories of the
Manchester county court that about

Is one 'Jjf^he best. In the plaintiff's
box wa*fr woman. In the defendant's
an elderly collier. The plnlntlff stated
her case: "I lent you mon's ntlssls my
mon's Sunday trousers to pay 'is rent ;
with, an' I want 'em back." The defendant
at first replied, "There's nowt
in it at all." Pressed for a more definite
reply, he scowled at the Judge and
protested, "Why, tbe 'ole street knows
all about them trousers." But Judge
Parry was not the "'ole street," and
he patiently encouraged the defendant
to talk until he got the explanation,
"Why, yon womun 'an my missis drank ;
tbem Sunday trousers."?Westminster
