BERNARD. WILMINGTON . JS. C Saturday Morxi:sg, October 28. PLASTERS A3 MILL (TWffERS. A few days ago wev published an editorial suggested by a moTement started by the Scotland Xeck Com monwealth for a co-operative cotton factory in that town, which the farmers were urged to aid by taking stock in cotton. This is not a new idea, for it has been acted upon in other localities, but it is a good idea, for it is practicable every where that cotton is grown to any extent. It is so practicable that the idea has spread and has been a theme of discussion in other States as well as this, as will be Been by the follow ing editorial which we clip from the Atlanta Constitution: "A very interesting piece of news comes from Texas to the effect that the cotton planters in a number of counties in that State are associating themselves together for the purpose of establishing cotton mills. Already the success of a number of these en terprises is assured, and by the beginning- of the next cotton year several counties in the State will hare cotton mills on capital furnished by the cot ton planters themselves. In other words, the stock in these new mills is owned by the cotton ginners, who, in these particular cases, will cease to send the raw product to market but will reap the benefits that are to be derived from marketing the finished product. "These advantages, as we have many times pointed out, are very great, they include not only the quad rupled value of the cotton and the div idends paid on the stock, but the dis tribution of wages in the shape of money drawn into the county from outside sources, the increase of popu lution, and the creation of a new de mand for all the by-products of the farm. "There is no reason in the world why at least half the cotton-raising counties in Georgia should not have mills owned by the farmers. Indi vidual growers may not have capital enough to establish a mill, but many farmers, each subscribing to the stock to the extent of his means, can make its existence a certainty. There is a Scotch proverb which, if we remem ber it correctly, is to the effect that 'many a mickle makes a muckle,' or words to that effect. Anyhow, a com bination of small sums will make a large sum, a fact that is brought home to our apprehension by the combina tions which have been going on among the stock companies of the country; and it is this fact that should turn the attention of our farmers to this source of profit and prosperity. "Every new cotton mill has a ten dency to raise the price of the raw ma terial, and it has been demonstrated by the experience of the past five years that the price of the raw material can never fall so low as to prevent the southern mills from making a profit on it. We have stated that the man ufacture of cotton into cloth quadru ples the value of the raw material, but the truth is, it multiplies it many times over. This has been demon strated by the European mills which pay heavy and unvarying freight charges on the raw material and then dispose of their product at figures which enrich their owners and share holders. "The same may be said of the New England mills. The money that has been paid to shareholders in those mills represents to-day a very large proportion of the accumulated wealth of that section. It is only of late that the general public has had an inkling 01 tne immense pro tits tnat are taken out of cotton mills. Naturally the facts nave been kept in the background. But a few important ones have leaked out as the result of local enthusiasm. We hear of fortv and fiftv per cent dividends of a mill that returned to its shareholders, in the sharje of serin divi dends, 90 per cent of the capital they had put in not manv months hfor. and of other mills that doubled their capacity without callin e on their stock holders for a dollar. This feat is equal to a dividend of 100 per cent. "There is hardly a cotton-growing county in Georgia where the olantera cannot, by combining and interesting others, raise the sum of $100,000. This sum is sufficient to build and equip a mm wnicn. under present- conditions. will pay for itself in three vears. to sav nothing of the vast advantage it will do to every interest in the commumtv "We are not too enthusiastic in this matter. Everything we have said is within the boundaries of fact and exoe rience. This being so. whv cannot the farmers of Georgia betray as lively an interest in their own future as those of Texas are doing !" This is presenting the matter in a business ligjhjj the planters of Georgia, and showing them not only how they rnWpromote mill building in their communities, but thus im mensely add to -the value of the crops .they produce. Every point urged in it applies to every South ern cotton State, andLto every Southern cotton county with as much force as it does to Georgia. Everyone who has given any thought to industrial matters knows that the profit in the raw maienai of any kind is small at best, while the real profit, the profit that brings riches, is in the finished article. The bale of cotton worth, say, 140, put through the spindles and looms becomes worth hundreds, in accord ance with the quality of the fabric rmade. The ton of crude iron, worth, say $20, converted into im plements and machinery represents values of many hundreds of dollars. The trees worth a dollar or so when livered at the mill, converted into lumber, furniture, handles, spokes, hubs, etc., is multiplied- many times in value, and so with numer ous other raw materials that might be mentioned. It is the man who converts them into form for immediate - use that realizes the profit on them; . The cotton manufacturing dis tricts of England became rich by spinning and weaving the cotton grown in other countries moBt of which was grown in this country, and the manufacturing districts of Xew England became rich by manufacturing cotton grown in the South. The South can become rich by manufacturing her cotton just as well as the Old England or iNew England districts became rich by doing it, and the South can become richer for the mills will not only add to the value of the cotton crop, but will create a demand for many things that may be produced on the farms for which there is little or no demand now, and which there is consequently little or no induce ment to raise. There is much to be said on this subject and many reasons why the cotton growers should become mill owners and not one good reason that we Have ever heard why they should not. It is a simple matter ol dusi ness that any ordinarily intelligent man should comprehend without argument. NOVEMBER ELECTI0BS. Elections will be held in twelve States next month; Ohio,Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missis- sippi, .Nebraska, iMew jersey. jh York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Virginia. Interest centers on Ohio, Ken tucky and Nebraska: on Ohio be cause it is a Republican state and the State of President McKinley: on Kentucky because it is a Demo cratic State, and on Nebraska be cause it is the State of Wm. J. Bryan, and is a doubtful State. Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts and Mississippi, will elect full State tickets. ebraska will elect a Judge of the Supreme Court, and regents of the State Uni versity; New Jersey and New York will elect members of the Legisla ture; Pennsylvania two Justices of the Supreme Court, one Jndge of the Superior Court, and a State Treasurer; South Dakota three Jus tices of the Supreme Court, and Virginia members of the Legisla ture, who will have the choosing of the United States Senator who is to succeed Senator Martin. The fight is hot in Ohio and in Kentucky, in Ohio because it is normally a Republican State and if the Democrats were to carry it (of which we have little hope) it would be a terrible set back to the McKin ley administration and to Bobs Hanna who is now actively engaged in passing around his hat for funds. The fight is hot in Kentucky also where the fool Democratic factions are making the hair fly from each other and making the work of carry ing the State that much the easier for the Republicans. In Iowa the contest is warm and expansion is, the principal issue. But Iowa is, like Ohio, normally a Republican State and will very likely remain bo this time. The Democrats of Mary and are making a hard fight to re- coyer that State, and will probably succeed; but bunching the whole lot we are not anticipating anv great political revolution. The Re publicans have the innings in most of them and we think will hold them, with the exception of Ken tucky, Maryland and Nebraska which may go Democratic, and Virginia which the Republicans are not making any attempt to carry. veorge uaom. tne loctey, is a "V 1 , a young man of great expectations.

C2I A BIG C0TJNTBY. One of the difficulties that the British have to contend against in the war against the Boers is, in ad dition to the rugged character of the country in which most of the fighting must be done, the large area in which it must be done, of which few who do not study the map closely have an accurate idea. The following, suggested by the m oni Drano-a Free State, rrnplftmations annexirjg certain ter ritories, will give some idea of the vastness of the region in which the fighting is now going on: The territory annexed by the Transvaal and Orange Free State is vast in extent and rich in possibilities for future development. Th hi of the claim for the right inn is doubtless held to i ,ci Tha Boers have taken military possession of all the part of a u AB.tj-hsncr i n n m ni lhu ur wsaiw LUIS icuinvij . v i i- .rntthn town of Mafeking, and a' section of northern Rhodesia .nn,oh'mAB nailed Brttisn ormrai I BlUl v HMIVS aA British South Africa) which is defended by a force under nuoi Plnmmpr stationed m tne ..-if ,.nt &na. the Transvaal annexes by far the larger part.

Mr. McKinley while on his West- em stumping lour taitteu mutu about the great prosperity of the country, about the improved condi tion of the farmers, and incidentally claimed all this as the logical result of Republican policies. While, in his opinion, Providence had a con trolling influence in shaping things I to give, this country a grip on Porto Rico and the Philippines, he doesn t seem disposed to give Providence any credit for the good crops which enabled our food producers to feed the needv millions in the old world when their crops failed. Speaking of the prosperity of the Western farmers, the St. Louis Re- puilican pertinently presents the other side and shows who is reaping the benefit of the prosperity that has struck the Western farmer. It con cludes an editorial on that subject thus: "The wire the farmer uses in fencing. lumber, mills, tools, implements wa?ons. tinware and scores ol omer manufactured goods are selling at ex tortionate nrices. Where, then, has the farmer reason to thank McKinley? Even if the toiler's trustful soul can be harangued into believing that Hanna. and McKinlev did bring the sunshine and the rains which gave him abundant crops, he must know that the policy of the Republican party has been to enact legislation which , shuts out the farmer of the countrv from the benefits of competi tion. He is not blind to tne laci mat tha Renublican Dartv has forced him to submit to wholesale robbery from the protected manufacturers and from even more merciless pinage at me hands of the trusts, which are the direct Drosrenv of protection, of which William McKinley is the high priest, the Glob Democrat a champion and Mark Hanna the natron, friend and beneficiary." They have an improved process of rain propelling in Austria and Italy. They shoot big guns up into tho sky and bring down gentle, steady showers without any thunder ac companiments, etc. These big guns do the thundering. By the way this reminds us that we had ?ome rain propellers in this country some time ago, but they seem to have re tired from the business. CURRENT COMMENT. .

The pension laws are none too thoroughly executed, when an ignorant negro woman of 90 swindles the government out of $5,000 on a purely fraudulent claim. If those who are after the pension commis sioner for hia rigid construction of the laws and his "cold business methods," will stop and consider this case, they mey not think that a good deal of vigilance in the head of tnat concern woulb be out of place.

On most f the folders of the Penn sylvania railroad appears a picture of old passenge v engine No. 1,053 hauling the limited express at full speed. The 1,053 was oue of the original Class O machines and is insignificant now as compared with the new monster ex press engines. It was the 1,053 which hauled a train across the continent about 20 years ago, and she attracted a great deal of attention in the western states. At one place ou the mountain "grade the big helping engine was leak ing and could not make steam, so the train stalled. The Pennsylvania rail road engineer requested them ,to cut the big cripple off, and when they had done bo to the surprise of all he back ed the 1,053 so as to get sand on the tracks ahead and started the train, hauling it unassisted up ' the steep mountain grade. The famous engine Is now used only for special trains, be ing too light for the present fast and heavy trains. Pittsburg Times. A Great Electrical Display. An interesting feature of the elec trical display In connection with tho National Export exposition in Phila delphia next fall will be the plan of special illumination of the city hall adopted for the period of the exhi bition. The building is a very impos ing structure, the highest point being 574 feet above the ground, and at pres ent there is a rim of lights around the base of the statue of William Penn, which surmounts the structure. It Is claimed that these lights can be seen at a distance of 3(7 miles. Before the exposition opens a ring of arc lights will be. placed around the rim of Penn's hat, over 500 feet above the pavement, and long strings of Incan descent lights will run from there to the roof of the building. Every cor nice will be studded with lights, and all sides of the massive building will be emblazoned by designs In colored lights. Western Electrician.

COTTON MARKETS. Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, October 27. trice variations in to-day's cotton market did not exceed six points and at no time could trading have been termed active. The speculative hesitation was due largely to preliminary conflicting ideas on the crop subject and as to the outstanding interest, though as to the latter it was quite generally admitted, the local exchange that the investment public held a large amount of January, March and May delivery staple. The opening was easy, with prices un changed to four points lower, follow ing disappointing English cables, and undue foreign selling pressure. An occasional effort was made later to dislodge loosely held long stuff, but these endeavors were feeble and there fore unsuccessful. Near the close shorts became nervous, the weekly statistical showing has averaged up in very bullish form. A turn to cover sent prices slowly upward with the market finally steady in tone with prices two points lower to one point net higher. New York. October 27. Cotton quiet; middling uplands 7 5 -16c.
