The English county which dom inates one of the world's greatest In dustries Is the subject of a highly In teresting report to the Bureau of Manufactures at Washington from Special Agent ffm. Whlttam, Jr., of Charlotte. This report, which has Just been made public, shows that more than one-third of the world's cotton spindles are to be found within an extreme radius of thirty miles of the city of Manchester and that Great Britain exported H47,657,225 In cot ton goods during 1905 as against a little over 140,000,000 for the United States a ratio of more than ten to one. The Lancashire district, Mr. Whlttam notes, occupies In the cotton spinning and manufacturing trade of the world relatively tho same, position as 1 held rev the cot'on belt of the United States In tho production of the raw material. To arrive at a correct Idea of Lancashire's ad vantages, he remarks, It should be remembered that the county pro duces coal In abundunce nnd that It was here that cotton manufacturing under the factory system was born, beginning with the Inventions of Watt, Hargreavc.M, Kay, Arkwrlght, Crompton and Cartwrlght. The vast forest of machinery Is continuing Its rapid growth of recent years, as shown by the following extract: , "At the beKliinlnu of the current yenr there were working in the IunMslilre arm 4X,R?,fM cutt'in spindles nnd tis4,S'll Um m. Of this number Z.iM.lMi spindles and 32,731 looms were put Into nnw mill during lWTi, while during this yenr (I'.'tfl. there liuve been put fully to work, or ganised, under construction, or projected, isi new spinning mills, which will con tain s.'JW.JW spindles. 2.0W.00O. of which will spin Kgyptlan cotton nnd the re mainder will consume American Brown raw mntrrliil On. mill Jusi urganlavd, l he Moiiiinotli. will liuve when com pleted I'tiO.""! iplndles." The, prosper of . 000. 000 more hungry splinllet will look good to the Southern cotton grower.

However, stilts are cheap and Charlotte people have been carrying their heads high, anyhow ever since the .dream of the 20th of May.VCharleaton Kows and Courier. !; ' ,, ;;,' : , .;;;j(. ; ; 'What makes you rriafl about tho 20th of May dream, Is ,that It wa dreamed more than a year before the one at Philadelphia or anywhere else. As tot the allegation that the lanes' and paths, of Charlotte are in bad condition like those of Charleston, It is not altogether without truth, but we proudly reject the suggestion of stilts. The fact in, there are in Char lotte two factions oft this qffcstlon. One favors connecting promptly with the Catawba river and converting the city Into an American Venice, with canals instead of streets, thus solving the dust problem for good and all, whllo the other advocates waiting for flying machines. Why build fine streets, asks this element, when we shall soon be flying like birds, and, our lower limbs shrunken through comparative disuse, will probably hop Instead of walking? 'it argues that only a narrow roadway for heavy hauling need be considered, since the time Is In prospect when a man can fly ten feet or ten miles by merely pressing the button which controls a motor-driven screw, steering himself ry means of specially designed coat lalb. This Is the street Improvement situation In Charlotte, faithfully de scribed. Whichever course Is pur sued U will not fall to provoke en vious gibes from The News and Courier. jt w;e robixsox, xb doubt. A Bailey man and an antl-Bailcy man had a fisticuff while the former was making a speech at East Dallas, Texas, a few days ago, and were car ried before Judge Williams, of the corporation court, who discharged them with the remark: "The situation Is Intense enough to make almost any man fight. I draw the line at fining a man for flst-flghtlng in Texas as It now stands." This Incident reminds The Norfolk Landmark of "the statement of a North Carolina judge several years ago that he always felt like giving a chromo to men brought before him for fighting In the wny of nature and not with firearms and knives, by which so many thousands of husbands and fathers and other bread-winners are killed every year without cause," Wo don't remem ber who this was but It sounds like ex-Judge W. H. O'B. Hohinson, whoso great big Irish heart always Inclined him to leniency nnd who paid that no man was qualified to sit on the bench In North Carolina without hav ing first served two years on the chain-gang. The Ilalelgh Evening Times, which The Columbia State character izes as "a snapper-tip of unconsid ered trifles," "nend.i out," to quote our Columbia contemporary further, "tho following general nlarm": "While some of our friends of the press are endeavoring to floor their brethren by strange nnd wonderful questions we would like to ask The Norfolk Landmark, The Montgomery Adver tiser, The Columbia fctate or The Charlotte Observer, why It li that a Jay bird Is supposed to v Init the low er regions every Friday. That, we believe, t a fact. Once upon a time the writer of this saw a lono Jay on Friday, but he will not mention the town for f.vir unfriendly critics will conneei t with the homo of the gen tleman with pitchfork and horns" The State, sfler making a faint sing Rcr at the problem, attempts to pass It on. "Aitvhow," It says, "as (he Innuendo of Tho Times was evidently leveled at Charlotte, we have the ta-k of answering the question pecfl caliv to The observer." No, sir!

THE PLTl:iUDGI3 HILL. . . We are printing this morning the text of tha bill of Kenafne Tteverlflo-e. r.f'Tnto n tv,- -,1 rhiifl " ' " . -. - labor. It.should.be entiled' A B)H to be Entitled 'An. Act In Evasion of the' Constitution ;Of , the -. United States " Aj will be eeen It forbids the transpbrtaton as Inter-State com merce of the product of, any factory or mine In which Is employed a child under 14 years' of age.: Its Intent l Obvious It Is leveled at ', the , cotton mills of the South. Doubtless, owing to one cause and ' another often to the cupidity of parentalchildren of too tender year are at work In some of these, factories; but the condition Is one which the mill men themselves are gradually ameliorating and which they will, out of their own eense of wisdom, Justice and humanity, ulti mately bring to a basis which all must agree is wise, Just and humane; but, falling In' this expectation of them, there will be found In the Legislatures of the Southern States enotigh sensibility of any wrong done the children to correct that wrong, and with these bodies the right of regulation of tho age of workers, if legislation is to be Invoked, properly resides. Action by Congress would be gratuitous and an unwarranted Invasion of the rights of the States. In times past, It is conceded, there have been more or less abuses In this matter of child labor, but these have by degrees been modified by the em ployers themselves and in the process of time will be wholly eliminated. It Is passing strange that while this ev olution Is In active progress, and as the day when there will remain no abuse for any one to complain of approaches rapidly, the conscious ness of our friends of the East and West should have been so suddenly awakened to our wickedness. The Observer Is printing this morn ing the second and final Installment of Col. Olds' splendid historical sketch, "The War of the Regulation," the first part of which was given last Sunday. Every reader of The Ob server will find it Interesting and in structive and valuable as a contri bution to history. We are also re printing from The Textile Manufac turers' Journal an excellent article on labor conditions In the South from the pen of Mr. P. A. Tompkins. In this article Mr. Tompkins goes back to reconstruction days to find a basis and cause for existing conditions and writes with especial reference to child labor and steps that are being taken by Southern mill men to Improve the mental and moral status of opera tives. That Is a good measure Introduced In the Senate by Mr. Graham, of Or ange, defining the rights of railroad pnssengers, requlrfng passengers boarding a car to enter by the end nenrest the engine and those leaving It to leave through the opposite end, and requiring further, that foot-stools be placed at the car steps for the benefit of passengers hoarding the car. and, presumably for those also leaving the train. This bill If made a law will obviate a good deal of confusion nnd Inconvenience nnd be a time-saver besides. WEEDS BY TIIE WAYSIDE TO-MOP.W)W.
