Environment, Will Power. xssGsvpjtsxxai _ Augusta Herald, In some of the magazines, not many years ago,there wasjpublish- ec * a striking and thought-coin- pelung story of a youhg American girl who married a European no ble who could trace his lineage ^e Conqueror. She presents an heir to the no ble house into wliioh she had mar- ri N.i iL U ^i? ne as she lies with the child on her arm begins to dream of the kings and nobles whose blood runs in the baby’s veins. She sees that they were all dissolute men. among whom there were many thieves and murderers and even greater criminals. Cruel, unprincipled, vicious, impure in thought and deed* with physical and mental health impaired by fast living and repeated intermar riage, these the men whose blood had entered into that of the little innocent child. Then, another procession began to move before the mental gaze of the mother,and she knew that they were her own ancestors she was looking at. She saw sturdy Indian ohiefs,‘brave and strong, leading healthy lives and harboring simple and clean thoughts. After these came the Puritans who had sacrificed their all for the love of Truth, and then again the women who were unself ish devotees at the shrine of Lib erty. With the sight came great consolation, for the mother real ized that simple' Americans had bequeathed to her child valuable attributes that would possibly counteract the effect of the baser qualities of the kingly born. Professor Carl H. Eigenmann has recently published,in the Med- ioal Record, the scientific side of 4he truth the loving mother intui tively grasped. He says: “Sometimes one mental trait of the parents is transmitted to one child, while others are transmit ted to another. Galton.has deter mined just how much, on an av erage, each ancestor contributes to the peculiarities of an individ ual. The parents together con tribute one-half of the total herit age, the four grandparents togeth er one-fourth, the eight great- grandparents one-eighth, the six teen great-great-grand* parents one sixteenth and all the remainder of the ancestry one-sixteenth.” But neither parent nor scientist took into account the great influ ence of environment which is, if anything, a stronger force than heredity, and the power of which Mr. Berry Benson has made clear in his masterly outlines in the “Century,” in which he shows how two seeds from the same plant may be planted in different soils with results widely divergent. Both heredity and environment are potent factors in character building, bpt strongest of all is the force of personal wilj. One effect of the coal strike is seen in New York in the great de mand for oil stoves which far ex ceeds the ahitity of dealers t" supply. Manufacturers of these stoves sell from 100,000 to 150,- 000 in a season, but this year their sales have been doubled and some of them assert that 500,000 stoves could he sold if they could be obtaiued. The increase in the sale of gas stoves is also said to be about 100 per cent. The formal sale and transfer of Beauvior, the home of Jefferson Davis, by Mrs. Davis to the Sons of Confederate Veterans was con- snmaied at Jackson, Miss., Octo ber 15tb, at the opening session of the reunion of the Mississippi division Sons of Confederate Vet erans. The home will be used as a home for indigent Confederate veterans. Mrs. Davis received $10,000 for the home. Pine Goods in the South. Columbus Inquirer Sun, The statement is made that the Merrimac Manufacturing Compa ny’s new cotton mill, which is to be established . at . Huntsville, Ala., at a coat of $1,600,000, is to ‘‘supply the print works of the Merrimac in Lowell, Mass., with the material that is now being bought at a high 'figure iu the open market.” This print clpth is what'is known as fine goods; that, is, it is of light fabric. Commenting upon this the Sa vannah Morning News says: “It has been only a few years since the claim was made that the fine cotton goods could not be manufactured in the south. It was admitted that the coarse, yel low cottons might be made here, but the allegation was that the climate was against the produc tion of the fiuer ‘counts.’ Here, however, we have oue of the larg est of the New England cotton mill corporations pooling south to establish a large factory for the production of .this very class of goods, because they can be made cheaper here than else where. If we are not mistaken, there have been established in South Carolina within the last three or four years mills that make cotton lace curtains, 1am- berkius, table covers and similar, artioles. Are these not ‘fine’ goods? Gradually it is being de monstrated that the south can manufacture any. kind of cotton fabrics, flue or coarse; and the mills continue to spring up in this section.” The possibilities of the BOiith in the manufacture of cotton goods are really unknown to even the most experienced .manufacturers, and nearly every week some new development takes place that startles the manufacturing world, and scatters former theories to the winds. The establishment of this great mill at Huntsville is the beginning of a new era in cot ton manufactures in the south, and its success, which is practi cally certain, will no doubt rev olutionize the industry in the south. Similar mills will be es tablished iu other cities of the south and before very long this section will no doubt be produc ing a large proportion of “fine goods.” ■■■ SIGNIFIES THE BEST. is.the best product of a New Roller Process' It is made of the best wheat, for in dividual customers of the mill and for the.trade.
