The argu ments employed are well worth some attention.' ; 'Mr. Stanwood begins toy admitting that "the growth, of the industry at the South is the great controlling fact In the history of .the manufacture during the last Quarter of a century. He finds something almost grotesque "in the fact that South Carolina, the State of John C Calhoun, wmcn spurned manufactures,1 which pre ferred to'export Us cotton rather than minister to the growing prosperity of New England, which nullified a tariff law because . It gave, jprotectloa to Northern spinners that this State has become- the second? . cotton spinning State ;la - the " Union." The Bouurs spindleB, U is then noted, grew from 327,871 in 170 to (New York Finan cial Chrontdo's figures) 9,412.455 In 1907, snaking' an increase of thirty times over,- New Engiana spincues, w th other hand, only increased : two and one-half times between 1S70 and 1J05. (Moreover, the Bouth'a rate of Increase has been advancing and New England' ? declining. But to ; infer from this 'admittedly romaraaoie showing for the South that the New England Industry, wiil ever move to the Southern States ia large part, Im presses Mr. Stanwood as a superficial view. He grants that the South has some advantages, but thinks it has about reached the point beyond which it cannot profit by them. That the industry In ,Iew England, however behind the South in rate of increase, is very far - from ' declining he pro coeds to make clear enough. According to The Financial Chron icle, all Northern mUla had l,200, 000 spindles an September 1, 1907. This shows the very moderate Increase of 600,000 over the number in 190 as olsclased by the census of. 1905. But Mr. Stanwood argues that al though the' spindle, is the accepted unit of measure there are other iat- tr to be considered. The United States, with 26,000,000 spindles, con sumes 6,000,000 Vbale of cotton; Great Britain, , with, Just twice as many, consumes 8.900,000 bales. Yei although consumption of raw, etaplei i. ltusi than In this country, Great Brlttaln la far and away the leader In cotton manufacture, its product being many times that of the Unltett States n value. Of course this comes about because Great Britain fcplna finer yarns. Similarly New England leads the South much farther than figures giving spindleago and cotton consump tion show. The South, however, spins much higher numbers than it, did a decade ago and a continued tendency toward greater fineness Is observable in the North. As jTor the financial test, Mr. Stanwood . shows that New England mills are 'not a whit behind those of the South," lEngland or th European continent in their share of the prevailing good times. Prosperity Is at high tide and there is not the remotest Indication of a declining in dustry. Whether New England can successfully meet Southern competl tion when times have turned toad, he aiimlta to be another matter, but plausible arguments are still forth' coming. 4 In weighing the advantages respec tively possessed by New England and the iSouth for icotton manufacture, points out .Mr. Stanwood, there are some factors favorable t'. the North which are often overlooked and some which once favored the South but no lnger do so. One of the South's great original advantages proximity to raw material he believes to have about disappeared. True, the ISO? census made the average cost per pound of Southern-spun otton 11.15 and that epun In New England 12.11 cents, but this apparent difference is due piimarlly to the tact that New England buys a 'better average grade of cotton for liner spinning. Mr. Stanwood jri'ghl have further aald Jn this connectiun thftt the ; railroads practice a discrimination exemplified in the recently published abatement that cotton can be shlppefl' by 'rail much more cheaply from Texas to Bangor., Maine, than to Wilmington, Nor,th Carolina, lie is beyond the mark, however, when he declares ttut the Carollnas and Georgia ?consum more cotton than tuey grow a sta4 mcnl properly applicable to Norln Carolina alone. As for the .South's advantage In po.milng cheaper labor, he thinks that alo mumt largaly dis appear before long. The 6outh has practically exhausted Its labor supply and labor will become more asserUv o It grows scarcer. ' A; against these supponcdly vanish Ing advantages of the South Mr, Stan wood MM. forth some New England edvantages which he considers per mafteht It the Southern mills are near the raw material New England mills are neat" the markets. . Fuol casta ess fn New England -36 cent per spindle 'against 84 cents in the South. (The . South's,. great hydro- eloctrio' developments seem to have been quite overlooked toy this writer) New England mills have 'an .establish eft demand for many varieties of skll fully made fabrics which mere multl plication of ,rlnd,es and MMr take Away, And, after all, even now th Ubor qUt'Htiun -la one side; for the' Nw (England mill ircattrcrha( at leaat, a large supply of skilled help to draw upon, . , ''Mr. Stanwood closes by doelartng his conviction that New England man ufacturers Tiav rio erloujreaspa to.

To his contention that ew ungiana win permanently re tain the superior position In cotton manufacture we by no .means assent. ThJs position belongs to ,tho South ty natural right, as most observers agree. We have more than once stated our reason for agreeing, with the view challenged by Mr.. Stan wood, and need not repeat them here. . His article is strong presentation, from the stanl point of New England hopes, of a question vital to two sections, and as such is -worth, whlie on its own ac count. We want 'our readers to see the other ' side,' and commend ' the Stanwood argument to their attention accordingly.- , v ', ' , DR. JOHN M'CAMPKEIJU DR.

In Ncrth Carolina the preat-nt Exe cutive In democratic sound to the core: our Legislature is demo;ratic; and, if the writer la correctly Informed and democracy means anythlisr, it means that our legislators derive their au thority to frame laws by which every citizen of North Carolina shall be governor from the " people (vox populi) this the writer understands to be the real, genuine artkle known s democracy. If this be true, and if our legisla tors In their wisdom have enacted Jaws which not only reach' out after the man whose hands are dyed m the blood of his fellow man- and mete out to all such the punishment the law says shall be inflicted' in such cases: but It goes further, and in our statutes are . Incorporated laws through which tho ' humblest citizen can by the power with which our State courts are Invested, obtain re dress or punish any party or parties who may wilfully or even seek to do him any Injury; No citizen- of this Commonwealth need be afraid hia rights will not be respected la our courts of law; for has he not the whole State at his back? and should any party or parties go beyond the law, through avartee or revenge. Is it nof by our laws look ed upon as persecution? -Is it not well known to every man in North Carolina of ordinary intel ligence that, unless a man owns so much, (that Is allowed him bv law) over and above, it is impossible under our laws to 'collect of such man a debt?' The man who allows his fellow man to become hia debtor to any ex tent and without adequate security knows .this; he ia fully cognizant of that . fact ' He also knows the law gives him no redress, for, he cannot sell the poor man's bed from under him, neither can he throw his fam lly out in the ,treet (save by writ of ejection tor non-payment or rent) neither can he cast hi debtor Into prison. Do not the laws of North Carolina mako it a criminal offence for any one to circulate slanderous reports, such as are calculated to Injure the reputation of any citizen? ' Yet we have here In Statesvllle a self-styled Bad Debt Collection Agency, which by publishing the names-of citizens on a bulletin board and displaying the same' on the corners of the streets In public places also by - having a citizen advertised in large type upon a separate sheet of paper and dis tributing same broadcast aeexs by such methods to enforce the payment of debts. Again, to escape personal newspaper notoriety or to get out of paying a rair price for legitimate ad vertising, probably knowing the press would not become a party to any eucti violation of law it (this self-styled agency) moves Its bulletin board, from one place to another thus working terrible hardship to the unfortunate citizen who sees ' his name thereon.

By whom was it chartered ? Waq delegated . to it an excess 6f power over that conferred upon the Judiciary of our State? From whom has it obtained this li cense? Talk about graft In high places, there may be some hypothesis for excuse In the exercise of graft by the man who can make off with his hundreds of thousands of dollars; but here in Statesvllle, where this thing can only touch the- poor and unrortunate who are rather to be pit ied and 'helped along in place of try ing to deprive them of the mouthful they have to eat to satisfy the leech- liKe avarice or some one in quest of gold; or who In a spirit of revenge would crush, as it were, the very llfe-J blood from the veins of the poor man should he by any chance owe a dol lar. - v ' These people when called upon to make known the names of all identi fied with them In this business are as silent s the grave. They simply use the united States malls in furtherance Of their ... schemes, knowing their scheme is a violation of our State law and In sending through the malls matter. whrch contains a dunning let ter under the caption of Bad Debt ColJi lection Agency and under threat ot being proceeded, against , by their methods (upon and about which vol umes coujd be written) they vitiate our laws and'1'' 'do it with Impunity. In a recent issue of The Landmark they have even gone so far as, to publish the names- of about forty peo ple fiiey claim endorse their methods; yet tho writes feels confident that if the majority of the parties whom they claim endorse their methods would but pause a moment and see that In endorsing them. they are but aiding and abetting a violation Of our state laws, many of them would soon erase their names. s. Be that as it -may, those who 'have endorsed them are but a drop in the bucket compared With those who have not endorsed them and who never will, and who are equally prominent with any In the county. . WlCv pleasure I refer to our leading educators, our ministry, our professional and legal men, together with a host of both merchants and private "citizens, who have withheld their names from any such scheme; and it Is still more noticeable they are not endorsed by any member ,of the local bar of Statesvllle, nor by the Judiciary, No, not even by Oe sheriff or police. Hence the writer is at a loss to know whether it Is a hoi.1 attempt at graft or a stupendous wcheme to bluff some one. As our laws are to-day are not these parties arrogating to them selves a power denied by law? and floes wot euch violations of law call for prompt a-tlon at the hands of the solicitor and grand Jury? It Is also a question In the mind of the writer if the action of the said Bad Debt Collection Agencv do not render It liable for prosecution at the Iiands of the United States postal authori ties, when this matter Is properly presented to them at .Washington.' ).'
