C Tuesday Mobhing, June 13, 1899. AND THE SOUTH A3 AN IRON STEEL SECTION. 'lot all the manufacturing indus tries iron is the greatest, and the most intimately connected with the world's progress: the fact is there is no better indication of the material nrnoTflsa of a nation or of the world F O - than the amount of iron it uses. It might be called the royal industry, as iron is the royal metal, alnd hence every one in the South is- in terested in the progress she is mak ing in the production,, manufacture and use of iron. . Twenty years ago this section con fined fits efforts almost altogether to the crude pig, and it was some time before our iron men ventured upon even plain castings, but that day has past and Birmingham is now ship ping steel to Pittsburg, a fact, which, I if it had been predicted ten or even five ears ago, would have been laughed at as the effervescence of some enthusiastic visionary. 'Twenty-five years ago, Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, Hon. ,Wm. D. Kelley, of Philadel phia, and since then fidward Atkin , sin, of Boston, -predicted that ; the South would become the iron pro ducing and making center of the United States, and that means of ithei world, for the United States now lead all other countries in the production of iron. These predic tions are, if there be anything in Ithe progress already made, in a fair way of being fulfilled; even sooner, perhaps, than the predictors (thought. ! ".!"'. , Last week's issue of the Balti more Manufacturers' Record con tains a number of replies from lead ing iron manufacturers of the coun try, N orth and South, in answer to inquiries as to the future prospects of the iron and Bteel industry. One of these was Hon. Abraham S. Hewitt, who answered the ques tions asked, and in reply' to one asking his views on the South's iron-making possibilities, wrote the following: ; .- "In a general letter intended to give a comprehensive view of the condition of the iron business, ; I do not think it proper to pick out any ' portion of the country as particularly promising for future expansion. I have no hesitation, however, in saying that the resources possessed by this country are so distributed as to make a successful and profitable iron in dustry in every portion of . the land where coal is accessible or shall be - made so at a reasonable cost, by which ' I mean a cost as low as fuel can be had in any other portion of the world. Wherever there is iron ore in large quantities, whether it be t suitable for acid or basic steel, an ex tensive and profitable business will grow up, provided the supply of fuel is attainable at a moderate cost. The extraordinary cheapness of ore in the Lake Superior region enables it to meet the coal of Pennsylvania and West Virginia under favorable con ditions at many points on the lakes, while in the South the extensive de i posits of ores containing phosphorus ' constitute a natural foundation upon which to build up the manufacture of basic steel.. The conditions favorable for 1 this result exist in Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama. Already the beginning has been: made, and I think it is safe to ' predict that the main supply of basic steel will in the next quarter of a cen ' tury be derived from the States south of the Potomac river. They have . every facility for export, and nowhere ' else in the world, so far as I know, can the production of basic steel be established on a large scale so economi cally aa in the South. ( With this letter I send youi a copy ' 1 of a speech which I delivered in Con , , gress upon the subject of the Mexican - reciprocity treaty, in which you . will find the future of. the iron business in the South very distinctly predicted and the extraordinary development of - our export trade clearly asserted as 'the inevitable result of conditions I which at that time (1885) were begin ning to be apparent." - This is not the language of a mere theorist, who utters a dictum and then manipulates the facts and con . ditions to support "it, 0Lt of one of the leading iron men of this coun try, who has been long identified with the industry and studied l it both from a practical standpoint I and from the standpoint of a states man in discuBsing the tarift question !bs it applied to that industry. As illustrating the fact that he studies I not only the present aspects and rt wan VAATO v ' of n 1 Z o-iven have been venneu iu surprising way. It was estimated that the demand of the world would require 35,000,000 tons of pig iron by the 1st of January, 1900, that is to say, in the year 1899. The returns show that this quantity of pig iron was pro j a mnaiiTYied in the Tear loyo. the exact limit having been reached one year in advance of the predicted time. It must not be imagined, how ever, that the increase in production and consumption proceeds at a regu lar pace from year to year. There are periods of rest, stagnation and re cuperation, followed invariably by an T of oreat activity. At the outset the increase demand cannot be met, but if has never taken very long for the production of the world to catch up with its consumption. . "The question, therefore, may be answered brieflly by stating that there is every reason to expect a period ot large demand and of great activity for the next two or three years, after which time the usual excess of pro duction will recur and the business, although on a scale of great magni tude, will seem to be quiet and some what stagnant. ' 'The change from iron to steel, however, will undoubtedly modify the conditions upon which the world s supply will be furnished. From our possession of the cheapest fuel in the world we are in a condition to under all comnetitors. and - therefore from this time forward we will have a large and increasing foreign demand for our steel products. The export trade has come to stay, and the doc trine of protection has met with the in evitable doom which I predicted in 1883 in the discussion in Congress on he tariff, wherein I tried to make clear, not merely the conditions of production, but the certainty that be fore the close of the century this country would necessarily be the greatest producer and exporter of iron and steel in, the world. We haye the ability to meet any conceivable demand. Mr. Itwould.be much easier for Hewitt to now predict the future progress of this industry than it was to predict so successfully in 1883, for at that time European nations had not secured the foothold they now have in China, nor had they made the progress in bringing Africa un der civilizing influences that has since been made. Then there was not a railroad in either China or Africa, two densely populated coun tries, while now there are several, and some of immense proportions projected. With the railroads come development of resources and pro gress that will create a demand. for .inftftlnnlahle Quantities of iron. But in addition to this new, uses will be found for iron as a substitute for many other materials now used. The tendency has been that way for years and it increases year by year, AGAINST INO. We published in our press col umns Sunday the substance of an appeal by the Afro-American Coun cil against lynching. There is much truth in- what is said, but the appeal might, with quite as much propriety, have been addressed ; to the Gov ernors, Legislatures and Judicial officers of all the States, for lynch ing for the outlawed crime is not confined to the South by any means.' There is more of it in the South than in the North, it is trne but that is because the conditions are different, and there are more outlaws in the South than in other sections. It is a fact that lynching does not pre vent the perpetration of the crime which so often provokes it. Even burning at the stake with all its sav age accompaniments, as in the case of the ravager and murderer, Sam Hose, in Georgia, does not inspire the terror that one might suppose it would, for there have been several brutal assaults perpetrated in that State since then, and some immedi ately after the horrid example made of Hose. I But while it may not prevent this crime there are many who believe, or at least act on the principle, that it has a deterring effect; but even if that were not so these outrages in spire so' much indignation and rage that there is an immediate cry for vengeance, and this will be the case until the perpetrators of these crimes are quickly apprehended and quick ly made to pay the penalty of their wickedness by the duly constituted tribunals. I - This gives point to that part of the appeal which says: The united efforts of both races, promptly, and legally, to stamp out rapists where- ever round, win more, tnoruugmj and completely rid the communities of these miscreants than the brutal acts of blood-thirsty and irrespon sible mobs." This is true; but how is this "united action" to be secured? Not by j denouncing lynching only, and representing those who engage in it as inspired more by enmity to the j negro than by a desire to protect white women, nor by representing the victims of the lynchers as innocent in most cases and sacrificed to race preju dice. That's not the way to secure j it. Let the Afro-American council: which issued this appeal follow it: up by an appeal to the negroes of the South to take action themselves, organize, meet . their white fellow citizens in the right spirit, and co operate with them in apprehending and bringing to speedy justice the perpetrators of these crimes. Such an appeal would be a good com-j panion piece to the one we are com menting upon and would say somej thing fors the good sense and sin cerity of those who issued it. lynch-:) : spirits turpentine. QYi THE TEA UKN. 1 iAs the tensively South is to figure so ex- in furnishing the world with iron and Bteel, who can put limits to the possibilities of this in dustry with her? MINING IN NORTH CAROLINA. While the gold and copper mines of Central and Western North Caro lina have attracted marked attention much has not been said about the mines in Nash county although con siderable capital has been invested, a good deal of work done, and some of the ores found to be very rich. There are not only rich ores but some very rich dirt which pays hand somely. Whether this section has been thoroughly explored or not we ao not Know, pernaps not, ana perhaps this is one of the reasons why it has attracted so little atten tion compared with other mining sections of the State. We get most of our information in reference to operations in that district from the Rocky Mount Argonaut, from which we clip the following, which appear ed in last week's issue. ' 'Developments in this gold belt have been progressing finely all along the line. The Manu-Arrington mill, af ter general repairs, starts this week on the great 'Blanket' vin ores. Several high grade quartz veins are now being opened np on this property. Two rich strikes have been recently made, one of which shows about two feet of $20 ore. "Developments on 'Culpepper' dur ing the past week have been phe nomenal. Rich strikes are being made nearly everv day. This property is now fairly dotted over with shafts, cuts and pits showing big pay, in every one. The last opening shows a vein 18 inches wide that will run up into the hundreds. It has already enough rich ore opened up and blocked out to run an ordinary sized, stamp mill for many years to come. "One vein on this property, besides being very rich in gold, shows a high percentage of copper. ' Great blocks of ore, weighing hundreds of pounds, show copper oxide, sulphurets and carbonates, besides free gold.' This vein promises to be one of the great copper producers of this country, be sides its value as a goia mine. "Other properties in the district are being worked up and show well. This is brief, hut there is enough in it to show that there is paying metal in Nash and enough to justify all the interest that is taken in that as a mining section. . - A Kansas girl who Iwrote to New York for a "sure cure.for freckles" got it thus: Remove the freck les carefully with a pocket knifej, soak them over night in salt water then hang .them up in a smoke house, in good strong smoke, made from sawdust and slippery, elm bark for a week. Freckles thus treated will- be thoroughly cured." The recipe cost her only a dollar and a postage stamp, j We note this for the benefit of young ladies who may be tronbled with freckles, and are not stuck on the freckles as much as 1 the freckles are stuck On them. . i ! Statesville Mascot: - More farm machines, such as binders, mowers, rakes, disk harrows, etc., have been sold in Statesville this year than ever before. This is an evidence of the fact that our farmers are getting abreast of the limes in their methods of farming. i Concord Standard: On Friday morning at Gastonia, Mr. Wm; G. Brown, assistant superintendent at the Gastonia mill was shot and killed by man named Craton Medlin. The difli culity arose about the wages of one of Medlin's children. Brown also had a pistol but drew it too late, but fired sev eral shots at his antagonist -before he fn himsalf. - Medlin escaped at once but was captured and lodged in jail. Stanly Enterprise: Some thiof broke into the store of Cornelius Thair, in Eldorado, Montgomery county, last Thursday night. One box of meat, one sack of flour, ten bushels of wheat, one sack of coffee, one box of tobacco, one bolt of calico and $20 in gold were stolen. The aggregate weight of the stolen goods would amount to some.. 1,400 pounds, and the loss about $105. On the same night seven pieces of meat were stolen from Jim Tucker s store. The wagon went towards Elli ott's Grove. The rogue has not been apprehended, so far as we can learn. Salisbury ! Suni i; mmte a severe storm wind rain and hail passed over a part of the county sev eral miles northwest of Salisbury this morning between 4 and 5 o'clock. There was considerabe hail, the stones being the size of acorns, and this did much damage to wheat and other crops. In places the hail covered the ground shoemouth deep and drifted two feet deep in ditches. The wind was terrific also damaged the wheat. Mr. R. J. Holmes' wind mill tower was blown over, falling on a smoke house and wrecking it. Esquire A. Li. Hall's cattle barn was , destroyed. Many trees were struck by lightning. : Raleigh JVetos and Observer: Lightning Friday -afternoon struck . . 1 XT -.11 lPyMit4Vl the depot at jturai mu, xU i " eauntv. The building caught fire but was extinguished before any serious damage was done. Lee F. Bernard was badly nhocked. An umbrella in another man's hands was torn to pieces without injuring the owner. The telegraph instrument was burned 0qt. A cyclone did much dam age Saturday morning in and around Barber's junction. Crops in the path of the storm were ruined. The most destructive wind storm in ,the history of Statesville visited that town about 4 o'clock Saturday morning. The Farmers' tobacco warehouse was blown down, as was the large tooacco factory of B. Ash. The roofs ere blown off the Associate Reform Pres-j byterian and Baptist churches; A number of chimneys and smaller buildings were blown down; The total loss in the town limits is $10,000, wiUi no insurance coveringdamage by wind' Within thepast week Deputy Collector J. P.! H. Adams has cap tured three moonshine stills ana two 'shiners, all in Johnston county. They were caught red-handed that is, run ning their juiceries. The first one was four miles north of Selma a fifty gal lon still. It was destroyed, with 200 gallons of beer. The owner escaped. Three miles south of Four Oaks J. D Peoples was surprised and captured operating another fifty gallon juicery. Here, also, 200 gallons of beer were destroyed and five gallons of whiskey captured. Near Pratf s a forty gallon still was destroyed and Jno. R. Mc Qhee, its owner, captured. One hun dred gallons of beer was poured out and four gallons of whiskey taken. The two captured 'shiners are now in jail. They make no denial of their guilt. They say times are so hard they thought I they would try this means of making something to sup port their families and, perhaps, get a few extra dollars. Revenue officers say moonshining in this district is un doubtedly on tne increase. Ho sat on the f Ago cf his chair and stared It her mlseruUy ovrr the top of his teaoup.

"Would you-mind explaining the situa tion to me?" ho asked humbly. - "That is very easy," she said composed ly. "I simply don't intend to be unequal to the combination of love and art." The luminous brilliancy of this solution kept him silent, while she went on: "Those women you read about,, you know, were under the disadvantage of not being modern when they tried to do things. They were working against a tremendous though perhaps invisible pressure. The world wasn't adjusted so as to help them and make the solution of their problems easy. They feltr that horrible weight the pressure of the! disapproval of the universe and could not stand out against it. One has a delieiously buoyant sensation the Lord is on our side feeling that is in it self a guarantee of success. Then,, you know, we have better health and fewer nerves than women used to have, and that makes a difference." "But suppose," he persisted, "just sup pose that you were to fail. What then?" 'One is willing to pay a certain price for the best things," she admitted slowly, "if the goods, are delivered. It is possible that happiness might be a very .bad bargain, even though I paid for it with art." "Ah, darling" he began. But she went pU: "But I shall not have to do it. I shall bavo my cake and eat it too." He looked at her with an expression of admiration which almost hid his funda- mental skepticism. "You are,', he said, with suaaen iuu mination, "something more advanced than modern. You are she of whom we have beard the coming woman." She looked down at the pink palm which he had held fast in his own through all her self possessed eloquence, and suddenly a wave of color rose and swept across her face. "Ah, no!" she said softly. But he heard her.

Loud and fierce was the roar of laughter from the ribald guards on hearing Veuve Capet cry. She had not shed a tear since her boy had been taken from her, but the flowers had opened the floodgates.

On an up town Broadway car the othei day an. elderly, spinster looking woman vehemently protested to the conductor against receiving five 1 cent pieces in change. j ! i "That's United States money, madam," replied the conductor, "and I wish you to take it," and the' 'unfeeling brute" passed on through the car raking in nickels. TJW woman was nonplused for the moment, tint nresentlv sho saw her chance for re venue as another woman entered. Quick- lv chanirinir her seat she- addressed tha newcomer: ; "You haven't paid your fare yet, have you? No? Well, will you kindly oblige me by giving me a nickel for these five cents and then crlve them to the conductor? He Insisted on my taking them, and I ap nea! to vour sympathy to help me out. ; The second woman' promptly grasped the situation and acquiesced. The con ductor was stumped and unable to conceal his discomfiture. He finally grabbed the five coins when they were tendered and, stamping back to the rear platform, rang up five fares by ml stage. flew xotk sun. jj QUARTERLY MEETINGS. si 51 IS 4 APPOINTMENTS. ME.
