This is not only a very interesting
table, but it is a very suggestive one,
for as it tells what Southern indus-
dry and' energy have accomplished
under very discouraging conditions
it suggests what may be accomplish
ed ufider more favorable conditions.
it J should be remembered that
twenty years ago the conditions
were, very different from I what they
are now, for' then the South had
scarcely emerged from the political
pandemonium and the Jmisrule of
the reconstruction period, and the
j; chasm
' vented
between the sections "pre-
anythmg like an' influx of
i Northern settlers or the
investment
of much Northern capital. That
was ope f thing the South had to
'contend against. J ;
I Ifor-some years preceding that
andfojr some years after ((for most of
j j the time! after) even to the present,
' agriculture, the great industry of
the South, was depressed to Buch an
. extent that as a class ur farmers
! became despondent anc many- of
them gave up hope of ever getting
j ojut of jthe straits. .The turn in the tide
whichbrought relief to the farmers

J price of wheat and othe:- food stuffs
brought, no relief to then, for cotton

I reached I the lowest figure ever re-
corded in the cotton markets There
, i is nothing in five or even seven cent
cotton for the planter to exult over,
but he may feel relieved if after dis
posing of his crop he has escaped
j the Sheriff. And yet tet ween 1880
J and this year the cotton crop more
, fhan doubled, which is cloubtlessohe
; of the reasons .why the price fell off
j to half what it should b i. -
With fettle money coining in and
j much' of , that going out it should
be remembered that thh South had
j little to bring in-'moAey save her
; cotton and other crop's, and that
j there were few banks to borrow
money from to enable the farmer to

jcrop from sacrifice to meet the de-

iiyjyuyiu i io niicuj XV was COnS-
dently predicted, by men who
thought or pretended they knew,
that the South could jnot succeed as
a cotton manufacturer on a large
scale, because it was a business that
required experience large capital
arid skilled labor. But the business
not only succeeded butgrew: until
Southern mills are nowspinning-and
weaving over five times as much cot
ton as they did twenty years ago,
and have branched out into lines
that it was predicted with assurance
they could never successf ully handle.
The manufacture of iron was
even a greater experiment than the
manufacture of cotton, for our peo

the price of iron for the world, and
is shipping steel to Pittsburg. The
man who would have predicted this
ten years ago would have been look
ed upon as a visionary dreamer if
his sanity might not have been ques
tioned.
And so it was more or less of an
experiment in other manufacturing
lines; but we have passed the exper
imental stage, and the prospects
were never brighter than now for
continued progress, even on a great
er scale than that of the past, South
ern - industry and energy have
achieved much, and in doing so
against the obstacles with which
the have had to contend, have given
proof of their possibilities under
more favorable conditions.
NORTH CAROLINA AS A FARM
ING STATE.
We have frequently in these" col
umns called attention to the ad
vantages North Carolina presents as
a farming- State, when farming is
done in the right way, and have
called attention to its capacity as a
grain and grass grower. In Satur
day's issue of the - Raleigh Post we
find a letter written by a Mr. Steele,
formerly of Minnesota, but recently
settled in Randolph county, giving
his views as to the agricultural ca
pacity of that county, from which
we make the following extracts:
"After correspondence with parties
m tne South 1 determined to visit
Asheboro, N. C. I went there and
was never more surprised in my life
than to find such a deliehtful countrv
with the land at such loworices. I
looked over the whole country around
mere, hence l am not speaking of one
or two farms, but of Randolph county,
and when I tell you that I have seldom
seen nicer land 1 am not r a tins' it too
high. The soil is easy to work and
underlaid with a clay subsoil which
makes the land susceptible of being
brought up to a state of the
very highest cultivation. The soil
cultivated is in a. good state and pro-
auces large yields oi wheat, corn,
rye, oats and grasses. The finest
clover I have ever seen was near Ashe-
ooro. xne wooaiand, and there is
plenty of it, is covered with the finest
of
white oak, hickory, pine, and pop-
lar, and when worked produces enor
mous yields of all kinds of grains and
grasses. This land is all rolinp.
genuy so and can oe cultivated with
modern machinery, is well watered
with springs of soft water and is uracil
cally free from stone. The finest of
fruits, grapes and vegetables, grow in
abundance. With a, little care in
the way of manuring and good modern
plowing I hardly know how large crops
mis sou would produce.
i" .
'This - land, in its nresent con
aition,- produces from fifteen .- to
thirty bushels of wheat per acre
H.very bushel can be- sold .right
at nome at remunerative prices;
in April it was selling at from 85 to 90
cents per bushel. Corn from fortv to
sixty bushels per acre, price 50 to 60
cents per bushel. Irish notatoes. as
well as sweets, grow 200 to 300 bushels
per acre, selling at from 40 cents to $1
per bushel. Butter sells at 20 to 40
cents per pound : new milk from 20 to
do cents per gallon."
There is land in Randolph county
which will yield 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre, as good wlieat as grows
out of the ground.. We know
of land in that county the yield on
which in a few years has increased
from 15 to 30 bushels to the acre,
and the end has not been reached vet.
.Randolph wheat has taken the pre
mium at several expositions, and
among these the premium for jhe
world at the Chicago exposition.
it is a great wheat county, but not
the only one in North Carolina.
HARNESSING THE TALLAPOOSA.
Elsewhere we have spoken 'of the
establishment of electric power
plants in this state, but the 'move
ment is "spreading, and some of the
schemes talked about are-of a colossal
proportions. The latest' comes from
Montgomery, Ala., reference to
which is made in the following,.
which we clip from the "Ralti
Sun: ' . -
'According to th Mnn
VAia.; jxaverttser that citv is on th
eve oi an electrical revolution. It
f2f .that MO 00 is to be expended,
the Tallapoosa river is to be harnessed;
and the power obtained is to furnish
electric current to Montgomery, the
value of which cannot be estimated

ANOTHER POWER PLANT.
That wa3 interesting information
given by our Raleigh corespon
dent in Sunday's issue of the1' Star
in reference to the establishment of
an electric power plant at Roanoke
rapids. Ex-Senator ! Cameron is
largely interested in the water power
there and being a man of wealth
can. if he turns his attention in that
direction, easily carry . oijt the
scheme referred to by our corre
spondent.
With the work now in progress at
i the "Narrows," on the Yadkin, the
plant completed on the Yadkin
from which power is transmitted to
Winston-Salem, and the one on the
French Broad on which work will
soon begin, ' this will make the
fourth, in addition to which there
are others in contemplation which
will in all probability materialize in
a short while. . . , .
The character of our streams pre
sents unusual advantages for the
establishment of these plants, the
streams as a general . thing mov
ing, with rapid current, with
frequent falls which can be easily
utilized for power purposes. The
plants already constructed or pro
jected are but the beginning of what
will be a-'system embracing many
and transmitting in the aggregate
practically unlimited power.

Raleigh News and Observer:
People from Henderson say that some
very sensational developments have
grown out of the shooting affair there
last Monday. R. B. Hays, the man
who did the shooting, has, it is stated
brought suit against E. E. Finch, the
man who was shot at, for $10,000. A
preliminary hearing was had Fridav
evening and as a result Finch was re
quired to give bond in the sum of $10,
000 for his appearance at the next term
of court. The evidence broucrht out
for the prosecution is said to ha n lwnn

Lcircumstances that, if true, may cause
a men iq De arrested for assault. Since
then, she said, these relations had
been kept up onlv bv threats of vio
lence to her on Finch's part in case
of exposure. Letters were produced to
prove these threats. Feeling against
Finch, in Henderson, is said to be very
strong and further develnnmnnta i

from whoso "Life of Grant", wo have
quoted. They were astonished and dis
appointed. " Grant looked like a grave
country doctor But ho showed that he.
could manage he "unruly boys.". . There
were loud calls: "Grant! Grant! A
speech!") Their late colonel used to
"orate" ! before them. The new colonel
stepped two paces toward them and said
in a clear, calm voice:
"Men, go to your quarters!" ',
If an 8 inch shell had exploded in their
ranks, the 'boys' would not have been
more surprised, but they went to their
quarters. ; There was; that in the new colo
nel's voice -which expressed command. :
The tone was not loud, but it was given
'with a clear cut inflection which 6howed
him a master of men; .
That evening at dress parade, as tie step
ped to the center of the regiment, wearing
no uniform save a pair of gray trousers
with a stripe running 'down the outside
seams and an old sword the men jested in
low voices about their new commander.
Colonel Goode, the lato colonel, not in
frequently used tho daily 'parade as on oc
casion to make a speech, and the men ex
pected one from Grant. The line officers
advanced, apd the adjutant saluted, i
"A soldier's first duty is to learn to obey
his commander. I shall expect my orders
to be obeyed as exactly and as instantly as
if we were on the field of battle. "
That ;was all he said. As the men
marched back to quarters a private asked:
"What do they mean by sending down a
little man like him to command this regi
ment? He can't pound dry sand in a
straight hole. ",
"Ho can't make a speech. Look at tho
clothes he wears. Who is ho onyhowf"
"Boys,"; retorted a sergeant, "I'll tell
you who he is. He's the colonel of ; this
regiment, as you'll find, and don't you
forget it." ,
The sergeant was a prophet. The regi
ment had obtained all tho liquor it wished
lor. urant stopped that. A man resisted
arrest. - ' r
"What's the matter?" asked Grant of
the officer of the day.
"The man persists in bringing liquor
into camp and refuses to givo it up.'V '
"Put him into the guardhouse."
"He refuses to go." ;
Grant stopped up to him, seized him by
the collar and jerked him outside of the
camp gate. "Get out of my regiment, " he
said. "Youare not worth disciplining. If
you come back, I'll have you shot!" A
big, dangerous man named Mexico was
tied up with a score of others for leaving
camp without permission. "For every
minute I stand here I'll have an ounce of
your blood," said he to the colonel s
"Gag him!" replied Grant.
One by one, as the hours passed, -the
other offenders were released by the offi
cers of the guard. Grant released Mexico
himself. The bully saw that hii colonel
was his master, and the regiment began
to find out that it had acoloneL Youth's

Sensible Physical Exercise.
I have always been' much impressed
with the facility with which tho graduate
Of West Point or of Annapolis does a vari
ety of things in physical exercises exer
cises some of which are perhaps not always
characterized by the name of athletics, al
though useful not only, in physical devel
opment, but as adjuncts through life. Tho
man who can ride, and who can swim, and
who can dance, and who can fence, and
who can do other things such as are taught
at West Point and Annapolis has distinct
accomplishments, the attainment of which
has not only . benefited him during the
period of attainment, but the possession of
which will continue to benefit him so lonr
as ne snail navo tn use or his physical
powers. J ; ! : 1 . . . ;
I have Jong thought that the graduate
of Harvard ought to possess physical ac
complishments equivalent to, even if not
identical with, those of his brothers at
West Point and at Annapolis, and I am
inclined to think that, unless he is a crip
ple or otherwise infirm physically, it is the
duty of the university to see that he does
possess such before it gives him his degree.

Selling: Papers on tbe Roof.
Not all the enterarisini; newsbova ara in !

chants of Paris, when forbidden to enter

difficulty in real Yankee fashion;
It was easy enough, of course, to sell
papers through tho windows to people
seated in tho vehicles. -But how was it
possible to , reach would - bo customers
perched on the imperiales, tho seats pro
vided on the roof? A -youth promptly
solved the problem.
He procured a stick seven or eurht feet
long, with clamps fastened to the' sides.
Papers were put in the clamps. On the
top of the stick there was a small cup with
a hole in the bottom.. u I
The hole was a very important part of
the apparatus, for it reached all the Way
down,! and through it came the copper
coins of one or two sous, according to the
price Of the paper which the patron select
ed when the boy held , up the stick.

'JHcbolaa Htckleby" and ftn Effect on
:.(.:. Education In-Eisfi?ld.l"V
The immense effect produced by one of ;
Dickens' nofels on the-t-ducation nf Eng
lish boys is pointed out by Mr. James L.
Hughes in an article in The Century on
"What Charles , Dickens Did . For Child
hood." ' i : .r U - -
Dickens made schoolmasters prominent
characters in six of his books "Nicholas
Nickleby,"-J'The Old Curiosity Shop,"
"Dombey and Son," "David Copper
field, "" Our .Mutual Friend" and "Hard
Times." Tho coarse brutality of, Sqtieors
was offset by tho loving sympathy of the
dear old schoolmaster who sheltered Little
Noll. Dr. Bliiuber and Mr. Creakle, each
in hisway a perfect type of wrong methods
of dealing with children, Were more" than
counterbalanced by Dr.- Strong. There is
no page in any language- that treats of
more fundamental educational principles
than the page describing ; Dr. Strong's
school. In "Hard Times"- the dwarfing
of Louisa and Tom jBradgrind by their fa
ther's falso educational ideal was .brought
Into perfect relief by the unfolding of wis
dom and sweetness in iSissy Jupe, who
was not robbed of a real bhildhood. . ,
Squeers' school was described to arouse
the indignation of the public against badly
managed private schools, conducted by
ignorant, sordid, brutal men who "traded
in the avarice,- indifference or imbecility
of parents and the helplessness of chil
dren." He had a wider aim, however.
than the overthrow off an , evil system
of private schools. He caught the spirit
of Henry Barnard and Horace Mann and
was one of the first Englishmen to see the
advantages of a national system of educa
tion and the urgent need of well trained
teachers by whom young minds might be
guided in the first stages of their growth.
The publication of "Nicholas Nickleby"
freed England from the low class of private
schools, aroused a widespread interest in
national education and the better training
of teachers and helped to reveal the funda
mental principle of true discipline in home
or school, that all coercion is dwarfing in
its effect on character growth. There are
many teachers and parents who still need
to learn that even the most refined meth
ods of coercion cripple i the individuality
of the child and prevent the. development
of its true selfhood, the divinity of its na
ture. For them "Nicholas. Nickleby" is
one of the best of all books. They should
. read it once a year. '

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telearaph to the Mornum Star.
New York, June 26 Prices in the
cotton market gave way again -to day
to vigorous selling pressure from the
bear side and a renewal of the liquida
ting process which figured so con
spicuously throughout the past week.
The most potent bear factors with
which discouraged longs had to con
tend were unfavorable reports from
the English market and generally bril
liant statements concerning the con
dition of the growing crop. On the
xirsh cau prices broke three to four
points, which subsequent develop
ments proved to be about the lowest
level of the day. This decline sent
August off to 5.49 and as numerous
limited investment orders have been
in existence for a long time at 5.50 or
under, a sharp reaction followed.
After a brief period of steadiness, how
eyer, the market strain hpon.
tied and f or the rest : of the day
fluctuated within a point two of the
opening quotations. The market
