C i Saturday, Morning1, Mar. 16, 1895 I VI8ITING STATESMEN. r - i The South has just been visited by a committee appointed by the Legislature of Massachusetts to in- investigate wherein Southern cotton 'mills have the advantages over New England mills which some .of the New England mill -men say they have, with a view to guiding legisla tion which may affect the mills of .- Massachusetts. Another committee . appointed by the Legislature has been hold'ng meetings in Boston and giving hearings -to manufacturers and others interested in cotton man ufacturing; and it is to co-operate with this committee, we presume, in securing desirable information' that this visiting committee was sent South. ! , It seems that in the several cities which they visited they were cordi ally greeted, shown j much attention and given every "facility to secure all - the information they sought or which could be given them. As far as known they have been favorably im pressed witn wnat they nave seen and learned and will doubtless make a report wnicn will corroborate to a large extent, if not literally, the as sertions made by some New Eng- ' land mill men as to the advantages enjoyed by Southern mills, and this may be made the argument against further legislation tD reduce the hours of labr pr otherwise hamper the mill operators, who allege that legislation reducing, the hours of a day's labor has been one cause of putting the Massachusetts mills at a disadvantage in competing with Southern mills, which have no such legislation to contend against. 1 he tact that such a committee has been sent South; is an admission - that the Massachusetts mill opera tors regard the situation, as far as they are concerned, as a serious one, and feel that it would not take much more handicapping legislation to so cripple them that they would be un- able to continue' business, at least in their lines of "goods upon the manu facture of which the South has en tered; but if this hinges, upon a mat ter of wages, and the difference of a few hours' work in the week, the Massachusetts mills may as well be getting ready to confine themselves to some special lines of goods which are not yet made in j the South and may not be for some time, because Southern .mills have enough to do at present in supplying the demand for the kind of goods they are now mak ing. j ' i We doubt, however, if this com mittee can make a report which will accurately present all the advan tages possessed by Southern, mills, because it did not visit our principal manufacturing cities but contented -itself with visiting some of the smaller, ones, where the industry is a comparatively new one and although well managed and prosperous, is not systemized and conducted , on the same scale of thrift and economy as in the cities of more and larger mills and more extensive and better equip ment. The report it will make will doubtless be a revelation to many of . the Massachusetts solons, while the report it could have made if it had visited some of, our j greatest manu facturing cities might be a stunner. The conditions under which these larger mills are operated as regards capital, equipment, system and man agement (all of which means more Or less economy in operating, and re duction m the cost ofr output) ap proximates more closely the condi , tions under which , the Massachusetts mills are operated, 'and hence a re port maae irom tacts garnered in these, i.n connection, if the committee chose, with facts gathered in the smaller manufacturing towns.' would be more to the ; point,' and therefore more valuable. As j it is it will be only a: partial report, and will not accurately set forth the actual sltua tion as it -applies to the milling in dustry of the South,! but it will give a reasonably fair idea, by making - due allowance for wnat is not con tained in it, . j they have visited, it will rather stimulate the New ; England movement southward, and be thus instrumental in giving an impetus t the very thing that so many of the people up there, view witl apprehen sion and would lik-C see Ifhecked, while on the other hand it may pre sent plausible ; reasons for keeping the hand tt the present and future .Legislatures off the Industry which it is alleged, has already been seri ously, crippled by tod much discrimi nation against the employer and will be Irretrievably ruined if there be much more of it. Thus the visit of this committee may turn out to be a very f good advertisement for the South while at the same time it may be instrumental in saving some of the mills in Massachusetts from ruin. We await this report with con siderable interest and curiosity ' to learn what these New England legis tors sent out on a tour of observa tion in quest of facts will say, be cause they cannot in anything favor able they may say be suspected of having any undue biass towards the South or any disposition to magnify the advantages they may havedis covered, or' to underrate the disad vantages. As testimony on this sab- ject, which is becoming an interest- me one in rcw rinuiauu auu cisc- in where, the committee's report will be a valuable one. MINOR MENTION. Some of the farmers of Georgia seem to be giving considerable atten tion to the raising of hogs tor mar ket, and are thereby doing a good thing for themselves and for their neighbors also, to whom they are set ting a good example. When hogs are raised in sufficient - numbers to encourage the establishment of pack ing houses, hog-raising may become a large and profitable industry in this section, and Southern pork not only supply the home demand, but find a brisk demand in Northern markets which have been and are now supplied from Western slaugh ter pens. Southern pork is superior for several reasons to Western pork, for family use, being largely fed on the mast of the forest and nuts planted for that purpose, requiring but little corn, and that being less oily thanWes tern corn, the pork is less greasy and therefore more palatable than Wes tern pork. This will give. Southern pork a decided advantage, in addi tion to which the Southern farmer can raise and fatten hogs at much less cost than the Western farmer can, and for this reason .he can sell for lessioney and make more profit. Most of the hog raising in the West is in the prairie states where the hogs must be fed the year 'round, and hence they are seldom left to run two Winters, while in the South there is such a range of timber", land that but little if any feeding if nec essary until they are penned for fat tening. Some of the Georgia farm ers have got this business down so fine that their methods are worth nothing for the benefit of others. One of these is a Mr. J. W. Harrell, of Lowndes county, who used to be a large cotton planter, but has aban doned cotton and now devotes bis attention entirely to raising food crops and hogs. Last year he slaughtered 117 hogs, which aver aged 139 pounds (not a very heavy weight) which sold for a total of $1,- 221, and in fattening he did not feed more than fifty bushels of corn to the lot. He first gave them the range of a mulberry orchard, planted for that especial purpose, and then turned them into a peanut field where the peanuts bad been planted between rows of corn, the corn hav ing been harvested before the hogs were turned in. Here they did their own digging, and came out in such condition that but little corn was necessary to' finish them up. He is a believer in the mulberry, which he says is easily cultivated, and yields an abundar.ee of nutritious fruit. He .says every farmer should have fifty or more trees. When hogs can be raised in the South on mulberries and nuts that cost little or nothing, and require but little corn, why shouldn't this eventually become the great pork producing section of the country? Mention was made in this week's issue of the Lumberton Robesonian of movement on toot to establish a wool len mill in that town and that some Northern men would put some capi tal in it. Attention seems to be so centered' upon cotton manufactories now that, wool has almost entirely been lost sight of, and this is the first announcement we have seen of- a movement for the manufacture of woollens in this State or anywhere in the South. We have some woollen mills in this and in some' of the other Southern Sta e, how many we do not know, but this branch of indus try has received less attention than it deserves. Aside from the fact that cotton manufacturing has commanded so much attention and made such a good showing as a dividend payer, there are other rea sons why woollen manufactories have received so little consideration from capitalists, one of which is the little attention given to sheep culture in the South, and the consequent small iupply of wool , the mills could de pend upon in the surrounding coun try. This might. be the case tempo rarily, and the nulls might be com pelled to buy the larger-part of their sriDDlies of wool elsewhere but the fact that woollen mills were est lUhed, creating a local demaf and market for wool, woqlrJSve a ten dency to tlmulatrwopl-growing and also Such legislation as would be nec- essary-to protect sheep from the dep redations of dogs, which is one of the main reasons why sheep culture has made so little progress in the South. , v . The New York papers have con siderable to say about a new illumi nating gas which will i shortly be in troduced there which can be furn ished for seven cents per thous and feet, known as acetylene. This is a discovery of Major J. Turner Morehead, of this State, who made the discovery accidentally while ex perimenting in his labratory at Leaksville. It is claimed that this new illuminant will give a brigher light than any other gas'and a stead ier one than electricity and is with out heat. CURRENT COMMENT. L - All the money that the Leg islature of North Carolina could con tribute to a soldiers' monument now, would not retrieve its action in tne noufflass matter. There is no re demption for the majority who so deeply disgraced themselves. Nor folk Landmark, Dem. We have no regrets over the failure of the Massachusetts legisla tive committee to visit Augusta. They came to investigate labor con ditions in the Southern cotton fac tories. The labor in our mills is "ex cellent and contented, and there is nothing to be gained by agitation from outside sources.

Uncle Joe, Who Was "Cap'n" Then, Uked His Chicken Done Brown. "It was a wretched night back in 1863, " said Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe's stories of the war were things to be looked forward to and re membered. He had served during the entire four years as a commissioned offi cer and knew whereof he spoke, having an excellent memory and an inimitably humorous way of telling the .adventures of himself and his men. "It was in Missouri in the winter of 1663 on a cold raw night that I, the off! cer of the day, prepared about midnight L 1 1 1 J3 S A.1 3 what is called the 'grand round, ' or, more plainly speaking, the visiting of the soldiers doing picket duty at their different posts. We were on short ra tions, and every man of us, officer or private, longed for a good, square meal to brace him np against tbe raw, damp coldness of the night As I was about to spring into my saddle a low voice at my shoulder said: ' ' 'Cap'n, how would a supper of chick en and honey taste?' "I swung hastily around and beheld the speaker. He was a fellow called Lang, one of "'our most valuable spies, and in some respects a mighty clever iellow, but in oh, well, I'll let it go by saying that his moral nature had never been overdeveloped. He was a Bhoxfc, thickset man, with twinkling black eyes and otherwise the most thor eughly impassive face I ever looked into. It was said of him tbat he would slip into the butternut suit of the rebel Sand make' himself much at home in Lees army. He was hail fellow well met with all the men and came back to the Union lines possessed of the most invaluable information. He had expe rienced thrilling adventures and was a man of intrepid courage. " 'Cap'n,' he repeated, as he stood be side me that cold nlKht, how would a Bupper of chicken and honey taste?' Excellent, .Liang, excellent,' i re plied, thinking of our limited supply of smoked meat and hard tack. 'Have you some? ' ' 'No, but I might get some, I reckon, if I looked round a bit, ' he drawled, laz lly kicking np clay with the too of his boot I saw immediately that he meant to go out of camp, find a farmhouse and help himself. Such things are not un heard of in the army. " 'Nonsense, Lang,' said X 'You' Would be killed sure if you went The pickets are on extra sharp lookout to night, and it's altogether too dangerous. You would never come back alive. "With that I sprang into my saddle and rode away, followed by my men. "We were gone two or three hours, making the rounds of the pickets, and a more miserable ride I had seldom tak en. I was chilled to the bone and hun gry and my men likewise. As I rode back toward camp, the glow of a bonfire in a remote corner caught my eye, and I immediately turned my weary horse toward it Before the crackling heap sat Lang, calmly frying chicken, while at his side reposed a hive of honey. He looked up and smiled grimly. " 'Supper's most ready, cap'n,' he said, touching his apology for a cap. 'Make yourselves to home, gentlemen. , " 'Lang,' said I sternly, 'didn't I tell you not to go?' " 'No, cap'n,' he replied as he con tinued to cut up the plump fowl in his hand; 'you didn't say I couldn't go, al though, if I remember correctly, you didn't exactly advise it on the score of its being dangerous, but a man what's led the life I have ain't goin to let a little thing like that stop him when he's hungry, ' and he held toward me the plump leg of a chicken nicely browned. " Liang, ' said I, tell me how you did it' 7 'No very great matter, ' he replied, proceeding with his culinary art 'When you'd gone, I walks along quiet to the outpost and nnds a picfcet wai&in up and down like he owned the earth, so I flops down on my stomach . alongside a fence. Bern a dark night, as it is, Mr. Picket comes along and don't suspect that fence so of much as harborin a mouse. Minute he gets half a rod away over that fence I goes lightninlike and takes a scoot into some woods close by and then goes about my business. " 'Go on, ' said L, with my mouth full of chicken and honey. "Lang continuedr 'You see, I know this country mighty well, so I makes tracks for a farmhouse close by where they keeps plenty of chickens. When I opens tne gate to go in, along comes a dog. Well, cap'n, that's the only dog I ever met with that I couldn't either scare or make friends with. No, sir, mat aog woman's tane no stoolc in bluffs, so.

" Course there wasn't no Jim - along, but that fellow in the house had to be kept but of the way; so, being, a dark night, I just bluffed him about there being more than just me around.

He returned rapidly to his desk, wrote furiously for a few minutes, and then went again to the mirror. The facial pantomime was resumed, and then, turn ing toward but evidently not seeing me, he began talking rapidly in a low tone. Ceasing this soon, however, be returned once more to his desk, where he remain ed silently writing until luncheon time." It was not till long afterward that Miss Dickens discovered that, with his natural intensity, her father had thrown himself into the character that ho was creating, "and that for the time being he had not only lost sight of his snr- roundings, but had actually become in action, as in imagination, the personal ity of his pen.
