‘There Is Nothing In It’
Chinese Matting Can Be Made in'
the South. j
Salmagundi by Uncle Bob.
Savannah News.
From unexpected sources comes
oftentimes ‘-confirmation strong
as holy writ” to the support of a
proposition in morals or ethics.
Bob Fitzsimmons, who has lately
climbed from the prize ring to the 0 f Atlanta, to a Washington Post
lecture platform, in a recent l ec_ reporter at the Raleigh. “Cot-
ture, said: ‘‘I never see a. young £ on spinning plants have brought

tentions.
“Ten years is almost sure to
see a new industry in North Caro—
lina which will prove one of the
largest and most profitable in the j Uonstant employment is the b<&t
south,” said Mr. Eugene Nesmith I sa f eguard aga i ns J; vice.

he is wasting his strength and
squandering his brain power and
storing up for himself a legacy of
disappointment and sufferipg. It
is not a question of morals. It is
a question of self-interest. Life
is like a sparring match. A man
needs to be in the finest possible
condition to have any chance of
victory.”
Never did the ex-prizefighter say
a truer thing than the foregoing.
It is a fact that “a man needs to
be in the finest possible condition
to have any chance of victory”
in the battles of life. Occasion
ally the man with massive intel
lect and wonderful powers of en
durance may carry the handicap
and still win the race, but for the
common run of men it is essential
that every faculty should be kept
trained and on the alert. Oppor
tunity knocks once at least at the
door of every man; if he is listen
ing for the signal and prepared to
take advantage of his chance in
life, he succeeds; if he is indolent
and sleeping, or unprepared, op
portunity passes him by. ,
Great corporations in this coun
try are refusing to take in their
employment young men who dis
sipate. With them, as with Mr.
Fitzsimmons, it is not a question
of sentiment or of morals, but of
plain business. The young man
who accumulates a stock of bad
and health and brain-destroying
habits has no place in the econo
my of the present. For a few
months or for a few years he may
succeed in holding his position;
ultimate dismissal and failure in
life are sure to come.
Nor are there pleasures in dissi
pation at all adequate to repay its
attendant miseries and sufferings.
Somebody has said that happiness,
or contentment—which is its
earthly equivalent—consists not
. so much in the presence of pleas
ure, as in the absence of pain.
Certainly there is a germ of truth
in the statement, and from no one
can the young man obtain such
positive advice as to the inutility
and worthlessness of dissipation as
from him who, in the language of
the streets, has “gone the gaits.”
Col. Jack Chinn of Kentucky,
who stopped drinking a few
months since, summed up the
whole situation when .he said:
“There is nothing in it.”

assembled crowd.
“We’re a world power now, an’
we’ve got ’em all skeered. Why,
we’ve got a big navy, th’ best ar
my in th’ world, an’ we’ve got
more money than we can haul in
a hay wagon. We’re so almighty
big an’ rich that we kin—”
“Yes, We’ve got all them
things.” interrupted a woman
who had slipped into the crowd
and grasped the orator by the arm.
“We’re a world power all right,
but we ain’t got enough wood
sawed to boil Squire Richman’s

right away a portion o’ this great
nation ain’t goin’ t’ git no din

the matting reed in the marshes
of North Carolina rivers will sure
ly be seized upon to introduce the
manufacture of the popular Chi
nese floor covering in this coun
try instead of importing it.
“It has long be„en said that
matting could be made only in
China because the . reed suitable
for its manufacture was found
only in that country. Recently
reed has been found growing in
the greatest profusion in the wa
ters of the Trent and Neuse rivers
above Newbern, N. C.., which ex
perts state is identical with that
used in China for making mat
ting. This rush is a hardy plant
and a very rapid grower. The
stalks are from one-sixteenth to
three-eighths of an inch in diam
eter, and grow to a height of three
to seven feet. The annual im
portation of matting into the Uni
ted States from China is estima
ted at 800,000,000 yards, which is
sufficient evidence of the value of
it in this country from the reeds
found here. The manufacture is
said to be a simple and inexpen
sive process and one in which
highly skilled labor is not neces
sary. It may be that the mat
ting making industry shall prove
one of the greastest boons for the

legend of the Parlia-
There is a
ment.House in Edinburgh, which
illustrates one style of prayer,
says the Christian Endeavor
World. A shepherd from the
Scotish border was at the bar,
who, being without means to en
gage counsel, had to plead his
own cause. A heavy accusation
was suspended over his head, and
a clever lawyer had wound round
and round him the intricate
meshes of the law. Before begin
ning to plead, he asked the judge
if he might engage in prayer. The
strange request being allowed, he
closed his eyes, clasped his hands,
and asked the divine guidance in
what he was about to do. Then,
without opening his eyes or alter
ing his attitude, he went on to
pray his way right through the
case, unraveling its intricacies
and exposing the simple truth;
and in this way he proved his in
nocence so completely that the
verdict was given without hesita
tion in his favor. That man had
been accustomed to put his mind
into his prayers; and not only
his prayers but his mind had prof
ited. It would deepen many ad
man’s shallow mind, as well as
clear up the intricacies of his bus
iness, if he were in the habit of
praying out his difficulties before

An African Nursery.
During their memorable journey
in search of the source of the Nile
Explorers Speke and Grant spent
some time in the village of Faloro.
The wives of the natives were hard
working women and good mothers,
according to their light. It was
amusing to watch the children’s toi
let every morning. They were first
washed with warm water, and the
mothers then licked their faces dry,
having learned this from watching
dogs and other animals that cleanse
their young thus. After the bath
the mothers smeared the naked
bodies of their little ones with a
bright red pomade. When this was
done, the children were laid in goat
skins slung over their mothers’
hacks or from their arms. They
were thus sung to sleep, and then
the skin cradles were hung up on
their own pegs.
