Yesterday and To-day.
‘‘Last night, dear Antoinette
(Ti* thus a wooer writes
Whose thoughts are deeply set
■ 'll love’s profound dlttighls),
Asleep within mv chair
Thy vision 1 did greet,
Ami joy Beyond compare,
1 dreamed I kissed thee, sweet.”
Ah, she was hurt, I fear,
Fur, seeing mo ill at case.
She wrote: “To me it’s clear
Thou’rt taking liberties.
Such notices overthrow
Pray take to other schemes;
’Tis well that thou shouldn’st know
I don't believe in dreams.”
Yet strange, that when th-day
1 kissed her—Oh ! the bliss.
The charm, the spell that lay
In that ecstatic ki-s
No fault she found; it seems,
0 maid of mysteries,
That though she likes not dreams
She courts realiti es.
MILLS IN THE SOUTH.
They Are Surely Coming and With
Them Signs of Prosperity.
Slowly but surely the belief is grow
ing tlint that South is to be the cotton
manufacturing sect tn of this country.
The great cotton mill owners of New
England are finding it necessary to
establish mill plants iu the South in
order to hold their trade, and the
Southern people, as they accumulate
surplus wealth, are putting money iu
to cotton Drills. The anouncemeut was
made the other dav that two of the
strongest cotton mill companies in
Massachusetts had decided to build
large mills iu the South, to cost about
$600,000,
Each cotton mill that is built is aD
inducement for the building of other
cotton mills, because all of the well
managed mills pay a good interest on
the money invested iu them. The rea
son of this is that the cost of manufac
luring in the South in less than in the
North. Cotton costs less and labor is
cheaper.
For a long time it was thought that
satisfactory labor could not be obtain
ed iu the South. It is now well under
stood that as skillful operatives can be
made out of the labor to be obtained in
the South as there are to be obtained
in the New Englaud States, and, be
sides, many operatives from the New
England mills are seeking homes in the
South. They like the Southern climate
and And the labor conditions more sat
isfactory.
Southern operatives are becoming
better all the time, and it will not be
long before the manufacture of the finer
grade of goods will be undertaken.
While the progress of the cotton indus
try in the South was slow for years af
ter the war, owing to the lack of capi
tal and the unsettled state of political
affaits, it has not been slow within the
last ten years.
Fourteen years ago the whole South
bad only 180 cotton mills, with 600,000
spindles, 14,300 looms and a total capi
tal of $21,000,000. A careful inquiry
made six mouths ago showed that there
were 405 mills in the Southern States,
with 2,700,000 spindles aud 62,000
looms aud a total capital of $97,000,
000 It is stated that besides the fore
going there are 20 new mills under
construction that will require an out
lay of $6,000,000 and will add 285,000
spindles and 6,000 looms to those al
ready in operation. Surely this is a
showing that justifies the South in ex
pecting the time is near at hand when
she would manufacture the greater
part of her cotton crop.
There has been a large and steady
increase in the South’s consumption of
cotton. Fourteen years ago th 6 South
ern mills consumed only about one
fourth as much as those of New Eug
land, while last year they consumed
nearly one-half as much.
Th» South produces fully 60 per
cent, of the cotton of the world, and
there is no good reason why she should
not manufacture at least a third of the
cotton goods consumed in the world.
Her cotton, when manufactured, is
worth about three times as much as it is
in the raw state. A great part of the
hundreds of millions of dollars annual
ly that is added to the value of her raw
material in the mills of New Eugland
and Europe could be kept at home, and
the South would become the richest and
most prosperous part of the world.—

What Shall We <lo with Japan.
Uuder our uew treaty with Japan
we may < xpect some wonderful sur
prises.
The Jupauese are building factories
in every town, aud they have just be
'uu to realize the fact that the markets
of the world are open lo them. They
are the brightest, most ingenious and
skil ful people on the face of the earth.
They cau imitate anything, and their
invention seems to hav6 no limit.
How are we going to compete with
these people ? They are now study
ing the American markets and manu
facturing the goods most iu demand
here. Already their rugs aud matting
are finding their way into uearly every
American home. Whole villages in
Japan make nothing but rugs, aud on*
firm employs 3,000 hands. Their cot
ton factories now have 500,000 spin
dles and the number is rapidly iucreas
ing. Their ingeuuitv and artistic taste
enables them to turn out cottou fabrics
as pretty as silk, and we must either
learn their method or give up competi
tion with them.
The Japanese make everything so
wonderfully cheap. They sell us a
rug for $2.25, and out of this sum
about sixteen profits are made. A roll
of good matting can be bought for .$1
iu Japan. The very best female opera
tives iu the factories work for 10 or
20 cents a day, and the finest male
artisaus only get 50 cents a day. No
woman iu Japan is too poor to afford a
silk dress.
The most beautiful books in the
W' rid are published iu Japan, and the
cost of printing, engraving and bind
ing is only a trifle. Wages are almost
nothing, but the Japanese can live well
on wha*. we would starve on. A work
ingman can furnish a cottage nicely
for less than $lO, and his rent need
not be over 40 cents a mouth. In tact,
it is said that a young couple cau be
gin housekeeping on $5.50.
The prices quoted above are on a
silver basis, and if paid in gold would
be cut down one half. So, when we
are told that the best male mechanics
get only 50 cents a day and good
clerks only 10 cents, we should bear
iu mind the fact that they can be em
ployed for half that, if paid in gold.
Now, what shall we do with these
people ? If they cau live well ou n>th
ing aod flood our country with all kinds
of goods for a song, we might as well
close every factory, mill, and forge
in the laud and all go to farming. How
shall we be saved from this deluge of
cheap goods? Our workmen cannot
come down to wages at 5 cents a day
and rent cottages at 20 cents a month
in gold, or double these figures in sil
ver. It will he said that we can raise
our tariff and bar out these cheap goods
hut that would be protection for pro
tection’s sake, and we cannot come to
that without abandoning the democratic
policy.
We want cheap goods, but we do
not want them ,oo cheap. When they
are too cheap they will knock our peo
ple out of employment.
If all of this befall us, the question
again comes op, what shall we do with
Japan.—Atlanta Constitution.
The Joke on Him.
A neat story is told of a Roman
Catholic priest in Victoria, whose ser
mons are usually of a practical kind.
Ou entering the pulpit one Sunday he
took with him a walnut to illustrate the
character of the various Christian
churches. He told the people the shell
was tasteless aud valueless —that was
the Wesleyan Church. The skiu was
nauseous, disagreeable aud worthless
that was the Presbyterian Church. He
theu said he would show th»m the Holy
Roman Apostolic Church. He cracked
the nut for the kernel and—found it
rotten ! Then his reverence coughed
violently and pronounced the benedic
tion.

From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunder
man, of Dimondale, Mich.. we are permitted
to make the following extract: “I have no
hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New
Discovery, as the results were almost mar
velous in the case of mv wife. While I was
pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc
tion she was brought down with pneumonia
I succeeding La Grippe. Teirible paroxysms
|of coughing would last hours with little iu
; terruption and it seemed as if she could not
l survive them. A friend recommended Dr.
King’s New Discovery; it was quick in fts
j work and highly satisfactory in results.”

She Wore ’Em.
Uncle Joshua was selecting a pair ol
trousers in the clothing store, sav, a
writer in Puck.
••What do you think o' them?” he
said to the good-natured salesman.
‘•Why, I thiuk they’re all right,”
the salesman said; ‘‘hut the idea is to
please the one that’s to wear them.
The questiou is, do they suit you?”
“Ain’t they pretty gay for aud old
fellow ?”
“Gay ! That’s a very quiet stripe,
They look well or you, too.”
“I guess they do fit pretty well. I
ain’t wore a pa ; r o’ Striped pants,
though, in I dunno how many years
an’—still, you say they (ire all right.”
“1 say if they please the one that’s
to wear them they most certainly are,
all right; and you are wearing them, so
you’re the judge.”
“1 be'lieve 1 do like ’«n, by ginger !
' Hought right for leu'th r j&in’t they ?”
“They are about as near right as any
custom tailor could have made thi-m—
--length, waist aud everysiug.”
“You wouldn't call Fit a loud
stripe ?”
“I would not!”
“No ;it dou’t seem to iio so. Still,
I’ve been wi-atin’ either black or pep
per ’n salt for I dunno hdw many years
uow, an’ everything eUflb looks kind
o’ queer. But, I declare,' it does seem
good to get something else on. There
ain’t any good reason why a man o’ my
age shouldn't wear these pants, is
there ?” -
“N i earthly reason that 1 know of,
if you like them. They Ourtainly look
well, aud they are first-clips trousers."
Well, 1 guess I’ll go take ’em off
and let you do ’em up. Tou'll throw
in a pair o’ susp-u—Pshaw! here
comes—er —this lady cumin’ is my wife.
I'll wait a minute, I guess—All through
with your shoppiu,’ mother ?”
“Thank heaveus, yes !” replied the
vigorous looking womau who bad been
ushered up the aisle. “What you got
on ?” she added.
“Five dollars,” said the old gentle
man, clutching one leg of the trousers
aud stretching out the clothr for inspec
tion.
“They be, be they ? Hev you got
lots of time, Joshua ?”
“Time ? How—why ?”
“Because if you hev, mebbe it’s all
right to rig yourself up in fancy cos
toom for the entertainment of this
young man ; but I ain’t got overmuch
lime, myself, an’ I guess we might as
well pick out a pair o’ pants now like
what I told ye to git.”
“What’s the matter with ”
“Lemme see somethin' on the pep
per-'n* salt order that’ll about fit him,”
said the lady to the salesman. After
selecting a pair about the size required
she handed them to the silent man at
her side.
“Now you run into the cubbyhole
and git into these," she said ; “and let's
see how they look."
“The idee of a man o’ his age pick*
in’ out streaked pants," she said to the
salesman, as her husband moved meek
ly away. “The pair he's got in his
hand is someth’ll’ like. Don’t you
think so, yourself ?”
The salesman smiled pleasantly
‘•They are good goods,’’ be said. “The
thing is to please the one that wears
'em. I guess you’ll ’’
A stony look from the lady warned
him that he was in danger of putting
hit foot in ir.
“I guess your husband will like
them," he said.

I Financial Information Wanted.
A member of Congress well known
for 1 1 is knowledge on all financial ques
| lions, was silting in hi- hotel recently
when he was appr. ached hy one of
i those reputable appea ing men one sees
| about the capital of the nation, whose
tiue character does not always sin w in
their attire or manner.
“Excuse me,” said the intruder, “but
are you uot Mr. Blank ?”
“1 am,” replied the member affably,
hut with dignity commensurate with
his exalted position.
“I believe you are thoroughly pos
ted on all financial qu.es ions?”
“My friends and the press, l believe
have accorded so much to me,” smiled
the statesman.
“You have given the subject a vast
amount of study, have you not?”
“More than anything else.”
“And no doubt feel quite capable of
giving a perfectly satisfactory answer
to any quest i in that might he asked?”
The member at once jumped to the
conclusion that he was being interview
ed, and got himself ready to give an
answer that would be a feature in
print.
“1 think I could, if any man could,”
he replied with pride.
‘ Well, 1 have a question on finance
that I w uld be greatly pleased if you
would answer to my entire satisfac
tion.”
“Very good; what is it?”
“Will you lend me a dollar for a
dav or two? I’m broke."
“By George!” said the member,
when he told the story, “ho could have
caught me for five just as easy, if he
had come at me for so much.”
What the Mule Said.
A civil engineer tells this story:
While overseering a gang of men
who, with mule teams, were hauling
loads of dirt, a friend of mine—a ven
triloquist—came up and stood hy my
side watching the mou at work.
Presently a mule, driven hy a largo
redheaded and fiery tempered Itishman
balked when right iu fr-mt of where
my friend and I were standing. The
Irishman soon lost his temper, and bo
gan to belabor the animal with his
whip. Every now and then the mule
would turn his his head and look re
proachfully at the angry Irishman, hut,
still refused to budge.
“Now just watch the Irishman,” the
ventriloquist whispered in my ear.
At that moment Pat, losing all pa
tience, gave the animal a tremendous
kick iu the ribs with his heavy boot.
The mule turned his head, and look
ing the Irishman in the face, opened
his mouth—
“ Don’t you do that again.”
The voice sounded as though it came
direct from between the mule’s parted
lips.
The whip dropped from the Irish
man’s hand For a moment he stared
at the mule, and then, without uttering
a word, he whirled about and bolted
down the street as fast as his two legs
could take him.

A Story of the Hall.’
A rural humorist in Screven county
tellsjthis exciting*Btory :
“We were coming at a fearful rate
of speed dowu the hill this side of Wa
ters station, when suddenly, as we
rounded tho curve, and just where the
hands had been working that day, the
engineer and fireman discovered a tie
lying crosswise upon the track.
“It was only about fifty feet away,
aud as we were making sixty miles an
hour, there was, of course, no possible
chance to avoid running over it. I was
looking out of the window at the time
aad saw the danger just as the engi
neer and fireman saw it. In another
second we were ou to it, and we all
three shut our eyes and listened for the
awful crash.
“But much to our surprise the en
gine glided smoothly over, the coach
followed in a similar manner and we
rolled safely into the depot.”
“Why, how in the world did it hap
pen ?” shouted all his listeners iu a
breath.
“Oh, simple enough. You see, the
tie that was lying across the track was
only a n cktie that one of the young
girls had dropped that afternoon !"
lie was a lazy man—never did any
chores about the house—hut he was
great on attending church and singing

“Hold the Fort” was his favorite,
and about the house he daily sang as
best he Could this hymn. His wife
was a weak little womau and dared not
protest.
By and hy a baby came.
“Fine boy,” said he. “What shall
we name him ?”
“We will call him Fort,” she mur
mured, with more spirit than he hud
seen since their wedding day.
“Why Fort?” asked he.
“Because then you will want to hold
it.”
And he sat in the woodshed an hour,
wondering whether she was joking or
in earnest.
