The delegation is headed by President J. H. Mc Aden and Secre ? i?rj G. B Hiss, Charlotte, N. C. ?*be visitors came to see the National Export exposition. They will while here, it is said, discnss questions : wbich may x result in temporarily shutting down a large number of . mills in the south This on account of ike anticipated increase in the cost v i of /cotton. . The present price of material such -as the mills in the associtiou use is cents, per pound It is expected that in 60 days the price will be U^se<d to T| cents. The question ^whether or hot it would be advisable S to taire orders a the present prices or . Tefcse^them is accordingly the prin ,?--?tpa!" subject of discussion with the commission men here and among the members of the association-them ^ Secretary Hiss add tonight that ; the present prices are entirely too low and unless an advance is made it will be impossible to fill orders at the anticipated rise in the price of the raw material. As a matter of fact, he thought it would be .better to shut down than to ron the miris at a loss / Should there be a general shuV down it might affect 150 mills in the south ' An army of Fakirs, 10,000 strong, has already made its descent upon ...

Fared Well Till Ins-argents Lost Hope of Getting Ran? som ; Now Starved' Boston, Sept 22 -A naval omcer 1 on one of the ships at Cavite says in a private letter writen to relatives here, under date of Aug 19 : '*! today made atrip to Manila purpose? ly to see and interview a spaniard fvho claims to have seen Lieut. Gil? more and his men The Spaniard arrived in Munila on the 12th, com? bing through the outposts at San Fer? nando de la Pampanga His name is Fe'i pa Galza and he is a planter by occupation On the first of Feb? ruary iast he was surrounded by a deputation of natives who made bim a prisoner. He was forced to follow the movements mads^ by the so called Fitippino republic and tramp through mud and water and over mountains in their wanderings. Two weeks before the arrival at Manila he saw at Kigan Lieut Com mander Gilmore and his 14 fellow prisoners. From his report it is judged that they have fared badly at the hands of their captors and, although their courage was undaunt? ed, they were in bad shape physi? cally, in reality being half starved Gilmore himself, he said, was in bet? ter health than some of the others, being a mau of strong physique and strong determination. The whole party was entirely destitute of clothes and ali the necessities of life. The failure of the Uni? ted States to ransom them as ex? pected bad so enraged the insurgents that their treatment? which for some time had been most kind, bad since become the reverse. The members of the party, however, were not dis? couraged, and fully expected to return to their friends. Galza though that with proper measures employed by the United States gov eminent there would r>? no trouble in effecting the speedy release of Gilmore and the Yorktown's men v j The Gare of Gloves.

Pall the glove ioto shape and lay aside carefully. Silk should be kept to match each shade, and gloves should be mended as soon as a break appears, for the old proverb, "A stitch io time saves ?noe,?' is espec? ially appropriate to these articles of attire. Glove mending is delicate work, which requires both skill aod dexterity, and when well done pays admirably for the pains taken. Glove powder should form one of the adjuncts to every toilet table, aod a pretty glove stretcher another. French women set a good'example, aod h<.ve made quiet ao art cf petting on gloves, and this is why a Paris leone's gloves last her four times as long as anybody else's The Boer Forces.

The Mercury Reaches 140 Degrees on the Persian Gulf, t _____ (From Lloyd's Weekly ) Wheo we wilt, salier and perspire coder the ?-ffiicting temperature of cur hottest summer days we have ope uo failiog coosolatioD-it is better tome where else. In one region only of the terrestrial surface is such relier denied. That region is the hottest place on earth-the unhappy area in which the agonized inhabitant is overwhelmed with the fact that anywhere and every? where else in the worid the weather is delightfully cool-by comparison. All will be glad to know just where the hottest place on earth is. In times past there has been mush disputation over the subject, but the authorities are now agreed on the spot I am about to name Curiously enough, this terri? tory is not a desert, not Fort Yuma, not even the Arizona plains, although a poet weil described them by declaring that the . lost spirits, wandering from their infernal abodes, stood on the borders of that region, with eyes blinded by the suu'g re fleeted glare, then in t?rros hurried back to their sulphurous laker -to avoid the head. No, the hottest place in the worid is, with ail respect to ocean summer resorts, on the seashore. The region of maximum temperature is an extensive area on the Persian Gulf, a part of the southwestern coa3t of Persia. This territory includes the Bahrein or Avai Islands June, July and August are terrific, uoendurable save to the natives, and hideous to them Day after day the mercury will mark more thao 100 degrees in the shade. By day here I mean the diurnal twesty-four- hours Think cf of it, you who look with fearful eves on the thermometer that registers 100 degrees at noontime. Imagine the horror of striking a match a; "midnight atid reading HO degrees. Ic hardly seems possible, yet ic is officially declared that this frightful heat is DOC excessive-in that country. Often 140 degrees in the shade is attained in the afternoon. *? The isiaods are in a little group, named after the largest. Bahrein. They lie between latitude 25 degrees, 30 minutes and 26 degrees. 30 minutes nor tn, and ioogitud? 50 degress, and 50 degrees. 30 minutes east. Bahrein itself it about 27 miles ioDg and 10 miles broad The population of the group is 75,000. Tee natives are for thc most part Arabs, governed by a sheikh, who pays tribute to the Sal?an of Oman. -i ? ? --- Persons who are receiving 3 and 3-J per cent on their investments will find their mouths water when they read the record of a cottou mill in Clover, South Caroiina, built about eight years ago, which in the year ended June 30, 1899, had net earn? ings of $36,040, or 41 per cent on the capital stock of ?89,000. Last year the profit was only 25 per ce ut but this year that record is broken. Before this last dividend the stock? holders bad got back in dividends more than they had put into the mill, and would have got more, but for the keeping up of an enlargement fand. The showing is impressive. "It is accounte of such earnings, says the Philadelphia Manufacturer, "which have attracted so much cap? tal to the south for investment in cotton manufacturing. It is not sen? timent or mere accident that is cans ing this marvelous development of the industry in the southern states It is a plain business proposition with men who have money to invest and who want to put it somewhere where it will give an account of itself."
