Skewing the Produation anri Consumption of Cotton, In crease of Spindles, etc. New Orleans, Sept . 2. Secretary Hester's New Orleans Cotton Exchange annual report was issued in full today. He puts the cotton crop of 1808-99 at 11,274,840 bales, an increase of 74,840 bales over 1897-98, and says that while Texas, in cluding Indian Territory, shows an excess of 480,000 bales and the group of Atlantic States, consisting of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, SoutU Carolina. Kentucky and Virgin ia, increased only 9,000 bales, the group of other Gulf States, consisting of Arkansas, Louisi ana, Mississippi, Tennessee, dklahoma and Missouri, have fallen off 414,000. - Mr. Hester puts the av erage commercial value of the crop at 25.08 per bale, against $28.02 last year, $3070 the year before, and $41.09 in 1890-99, and the total value of the crop at $282,77o,000, against $320, 553,000 last year, and $320, 925,000 the year before. He caWs attention to the fact, that the money value , of the crop just marketed is slightly under tihat of the 1893-94 crop, which was 3,725,023 bales less the value of the 1893-94 had been $283,118,000. He puts the total spindles in the South at 4,852,092, an in crease over last year of 894, 848. These include 823,354 now not complete. The net gain in the number of Southern mills over last year has been 59, making the total now 55. ana the consumption has been di vided as follows : Alabama, 132,703 bales, , an increase of 31,010; Arkansas, 3,182 bales, an increase of 1, . 288 ; Georgia, 271,807 bales, an increase of 13,190; Kentucky, 2G,842 bales, an ' 'increase of 080 ; Louisiana, 18,025 bales, an increase of 1,970 ; Mississip pi, 19,894 bales, an increase of 180 ; Missouri, 3,808, an in crease of 233 ; North Carolina, 382,477, all increase of 49,070 ; South Carolina, 443, 978, an in crease of 05,834; Tennessee, 34,130, a decrease of 2,335; Texas, 10,059, an increase of 1,375; Virginia, 40,088, an in crease of 2,240. Total consumption of cotton in the South was 1,399,399 bales, an increase of 170,079 bales. 1 In reference to the general manufacturing industry of the country and its comparative : progress North and South, Mr Hester says that the year has been an active one for Ameri can mills. Low prices for the raw matirial and improved val ues for -manufactured goods have enabled Northern spinners to recover from the depression of the two previous years, and the result, wkh a continued im provement in the South, has been the largest consumption of outton and the heavies takings by mills on record. He puts the consumption of Northern mills for the year at 2,190,000 bales, which together with that of the South, makes an aggre gate for the entire country of 3,589,000. In the South, the activity within the year in building new mills his been without parallel. More than 300,000 spindles have been add ed to mills in operation, and there are now being erected in old and new concerns nearly b2o, 000 spindles. In addition to this, there are projected in every Southern State cotton manufactories covering many thousands of spindles. War between Great Britain and the Transvaal Republic in South Africa is imminent and is expected to begin any day now. Should it start it is thought that most of the States in South Africa will lend a hand to the Boers against the Brit-tish. People Eat Too Much Meat. Some of the people of the Western towns, where the price of meat has been raised from three to five cents by the trust, are advocating the policy "eat less meat.," The Chattanooga Times, in advocating this poli cy, anys : "The people eat' too much meat and too little of the cereal Miid other vegetable foods. A large part of the ills that hu man flesh is afflicted by rs the result of flesh consumption j swine's Hesh being a prolific breeder of disease. Hundreds of patients who go to the best managed sanitariums in wretch ed condition are cured in a few weeks hy being confined to a vegetable diet, this being sup plemented by sanitary bathing and exercise. They made them selves sick eating flesh, the stufling being accompanied by physical laziness, that brought confirmed physical torpor, with indigestion, eruptive skin, con stipation, etc. The meat peo ple eat is not, as a rule, posi tively injurious to them, con sidered as a food material, but it is that much too much for their stomachs. Let the trust's meat alone, or at least eat spar ingly of it, and you will at once benefit yourself and defeat any sculduggery the trust may be contemplating in the shape of artificially high prices." A few .weeks ago, chatting with a prominent railroad offi cial in the West, this writer .heard him say he had almost become a vegeten&Tian, and he added-. "I have a friend in Chicago, a large contractor, who works very hard. .Ho nev er eats any meat, and since he has confined himself to a vege table diet he has been healthier and stronger than ever. Less meat and more fruit and vegetables would insure better health. News and Observer. One Worth a Dozen- J.Q.Collier, Hubard, Ark., writes : Ramon's Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets are a special remedy-for' Sick Headache. I have been engaged in tlie met cantile business and confined in doors a great deal, and conse cjuently suffer with Deranged Liver. I have been using your medicines for this and the sick headache, and find much relief I had tried many curealls for said disorder but they always failed. One of your red pills is worth more to me than a dozen of any other remedy I have ever taken. I shall always be glad that I obtained a supply o your remedies. ror safe oy McKay Bros. & Skinner. Speaking at Lillington. While court was adjourned at Lillington Tuesday several dis tinguished speakers addressed the people on the the Constitu tional Amendment. The first speaker was introduced by Hon 1). H. McLean, who said in his introduction that under the Amendment any marl who was a white man could vote, and he vold either have to be a negro or make out like he waSj tQ be deprived of the right of suffrage He introduced Hon. W. C. Douglass, a gifted speaker from the city of Raleigh. Mr. Doug lass in the course ol his speech said it was just simply a fight between the white man and the negro in which no white man could not afford to take a stand for his race. He explained fully lhe Constitution in plain and unmistakable terms. He is one of the most eminent speakers we have ever heard, and hi effort on this occasion was one of telling effect. The next speaker,Solicitor E. W. Pou, made a fine speech. XT ' a lie never lias been known to make any other kind. His sift of speech is not surpassed by any orator of the Old North State. He possesses powers peculiar unto himself,' which are heart searching, full of sound logic and plain, reason ing. His speech was a teller for the Amendment. Mr. W. A. Stew art, our young Harnett county champ ion of Democracy, closed the speaking with a short but well chosen speech.. There was about three hun dred people present, the most of whom will su pport the Amendment. Admiral Dewey with the Olympia has arrived at Gibral tar. He expects to sail from that place on the 11th of Sep tember direct for New York. "Fighting Joe ' ' in the Saddle. An Opinion of Funton's Suc cessor in the Philippines. "Fighting Joe" Wheeler has reached Manila, and he is al ready assigned t the command of -Gen. Funston's brigade, which place, it appears, has been kept open for him. The gray old warrior, whose youth and enthusiasm seem to be in exhaustible, impresses us as retaining his old-time vigor. He wants to go to the front im mediately, and, in his fervor and delight over the prospect of active service, he has already surveyed the situation and pro claimed his views. The press reports describe him as saying : "I am much pleased with the situation. I think that when Gen. Otis gets more troops he will make rapid progress. The country is more favorable for military operations than I sup posed. The impression that the country is unhealthy is, wrong." Certainly General "Wheeler is the most lovable and delight ful old gentleman occupying a prominent place in our public affairs today. He has all the Buoyant optimism of youth. Nothing can daunt his courage or mitigate his wonderful phi losophy. Give him a trench halt filled with water, and he regards it as an ideal resting place. Offer him a hard tack and a chunk of mouldy bacon and he regards them as the le gitimate constituents of a Lu cillan banquet. Chills and fe vers merely make him believe that he is the victim of an hallu cination.. Sickness among men he views with toleration as an innocent idiosyncrasy. He rec ognizes no difficulties, admits the importance of no obstacles. He insists on going ahead un der all circumstances, and Bo abdil and the Campaspe sepa rate, or put together, never furnished one fraction of his irrepressible vim. At the bat tle we should say the storm- ing otoanJiran last year, lie was brought to the front upon a litter to see the consumma tion. But he never dreamec that he was at death's door from disease, and he thought o nothing save the victory and his own delight. Ht gave cred it to everybody, demanded the promotion and distinction o all participants, and then slep the sleep of physical weakness to dream of a glory which he was glad to share with all the world. Of course the dear old gener al knows nothing about the sit uation in Luzon. He sees a chance of fighting, and all is roseate and beautiful. Any country is 'in his eyes favorable for. military operations so long as he is to take part in them and he is so fond of everv one and so trustful of every ctoie's devotion and ability that he readily believes in his prophecy that Otis will do great after awhile. tniucs "The impression that t h e country is unhealthy is wrong,' the general declares, after : few minutes contemplation of Otis and his stafi but he wil still believe in the salubritv o Luzon, even after six months' experience of cholera, small pox and beri beri. General Wheeler's Utopian utterances come to us like a breath of innocence. They up lift and soften the hard, every day heart of callous man. Washington 'Post.
