One source to which the leather makers aro turning to expectantly is thi canaigro plant of the Texas, New Mexico and Arizona plains, the root of which contains a large amount of tannin.

TERMINAL REORGANIZATION. All th$ Principal Sacuriti** /far* Bt*n D?poaitHl. New York.?The Richmond and Terminal reorganization plan is expected to be declared operative within a few weeks. All the principal securites essential to the plan have been deposited in sufficient quantities to permit the commit-too to go ahead. Outside properties are now being dealt with and negotiations are pending which may bring into the plan a number of securities which are at present outside. The Columbia and Greonville seconds get 125 in now preferred stock, while the preferred stock of the Columbia and Greenville is not treated in the plan at all. A proposition is now pending to give the holders of this stock 40 per cent, in new Richmond and terminal r>referr?wl ThiH stock sold at auction some time ago at 40. Richmond and Mecklenburg were included iu the first plan, but the holders, not being satisfied with the proposition, were left, out of the revised agreement. Negotiations are now pending on a basis considerably better than the one first proposed. Cincinnati Extension bonds, which were also left out of the plan, are expected to be taken in at a price which will equal about 60 percent, in the new securities, which is about what Erlan ger is said to have sold his minority interest for to the Cincinnati.

FINE FRUIT OF THE LOOM. NION GRADE GOODS FROM UNION, OAF* FNEr AND DAMBERO The Wtllfotd Mills May Make Print Cloths-' Fne Warps for Lace Curtains From Bamberg--A Bleachery Should he Built and that Right Early. tfrARTANBURo, S. C.?Our cotton miii men arc beginning (to make finer goods than the grades heretofore manufactured. In this county the Uaffuey mill was the firat to lead off in the manufacture of cloth used for the better grades of bleached goods. Dr. Fleming and the directors of the new nod going (*oeaY .Well^prd con niujilllli; uiitniug print CIOIU, priJfWIHl the outlook for thnt grade is cucuurnging. Any way they will spin anil weave line goods. The mill at Uuion is turning out lino goods also and they nre ne w going on the market with them. \ It was sta \in a Northern paper that the G?ft \mill was the only one in the State n? .sing fine goods. Thnt was nu error, for the new mill at Dnmberg, of which W. 0. Smith is the president and general malinger, lias been making a fiuo grade of goods since it started. A sample has been received of their yard wide goods, 1)8-72, made of 28 warp and Jill to 40 tilling. This has more thread in the warp and pick than the Giiffney goods. It in beautiful in texture ?lnd smooth and even throughout. The same grade of goods b'eaclied ranks w ith the very best products of any mill. The JJnmberg mill also makes a specialty of tine warps for lacc vurtains. A sample curtain made from 24-2 ply warp lias also been sent for inspection here. This is also verv tine work and the curtain is handsome and substantial. They run these enrtnin yarns as high us 40. These samples <>f goods indicate that the Bamberg mills is doing first-class work and they are riming 7,000 spinlies on those line numbers. Spartmbiirg is rather proud of that enter* |?erprise, because President Smith is a Spartanburg man. He learned the mill business under 1). E. Converse, nd so faithful was he in the discharge ?f his duties that when the Bamberg eople wanted a man to take charge of 1 heir mill Mr. Smith was selected. These varied manufactures will give ^ otton mills an impetus in thiH State. iVitli all the water power in this State md the improved . machinery it will rop ot r?on.v' will be nianuaetured at home! One of thttae days ' i blenchery will bo built on some of ' he clear mountain streams and then 1 >rint works will follow. Whenever 1 ?ur capitalists begin to talk about a ' leaching establishment in this State liev are told that the water will not lo,or that the climate is not favorable, >r something of that Hort. It is the mine old story that was told when the ' reetion of mills was begun after the ,vnr. People were informed that onrsc goods might be manufactured u the South, but flint it would be Folly to attempt the finer grades. But 'nroliiuis have learned hotter now, mil soon they will prove tlint cloth *nn lie bleached in this State ami that [irint works may bo successfully managed. ? News and Courier.

One of the Northern superstitions about the South,which, strange to say, still existe itl sohle States, In the beli t that the yellow fever aild other fever* prevail yearly in certain Southern States, apparently coming ami going with the same regularity as the seasons or the moon's phases. The idea is as erroneous atnl as baseless as the one that white inrti cannot work 111 the South in the so miner on account of the heat. It is stated that one of tin standard medical text-books, a work that is still used in some medical colleges, solemnly defines yellow fever to be "rt disease that annually prevuilf ill our Southern cities." Pf. CI. H. Wilkinson, of Galveston, lins been given the following Interest in? opinions 011 this subject to tin News, of that city: "It is not generally understood, but the fact nevertheless exists to our own grent detriment, that one of the greatest drawbacks to the settlement of tin Southern country is the widespread and inexcusable fear of tropical 01 miasmatic fevers on the part of pcoph living to the north of us. Tills is in idle assertion; but it is a stubborn nn<l most lamentable fact, the proof ol which was moat forcibly thrust upoi me a few months ago while traveling through Texas 011 a railway train. <>i that occasion I met a gentlemen, 1 banker from some Kansas town, am in conversation with him i was asked 'How often <Io you have yell >w fevei in your city?' My reply was that w? hail yellow fever in Galveston in 18(?*i in nn epidemic form and a few casci were reported in 1873. With these exceptions we have had 110 fever sine< the war. 'Of course,' said he, 'yoi have the URual miasmatic and tvphoii fevers prevailing there all the time, do you not?' Of late, I told him typhoid fever had appeared occasion ally in our midst, but in a mild form, while m astnatio fevers are unknown 1i originate in Galveston. My compan ion appeared very much surprised a', these statements,uml remarked: 'Will. 1 know 150 people in my county win would come to your county to live i you could prove what you say.' 'Now the impression revealed hv my con vernation is hut an exponent of whiu ignorance prevails among strangerconcerning the lu-ulthfuliicsH of om Southern country. Therein a firm belief among the masses of them that i deadly ordeal has to he run by cver\ >ne who atteinpta to brave our South' igalniV'ms .aud one calculated to dam igo uh incalculably,, which should In -radicated, and it in incumbent upoi ik to do if we wish to encourage immigration to our country.

The matter conies up before Judge Dick, at chambers, at Greensboro, July 1.
