THX SOTJTH'fl GREAT FUTURE There U no intelligent person who is reasonably well informed on the varied resources of the ooutn, ana the uses that have been made of these resources, the progress made in developing them, has any doubt a to the neat industrial future of this section of the country. Indus trial enterprises are no longer ex neriments, for wherever macnfactur ing has been entered upon, whatever its character, it has proved to be success, and this in spite of the fact that our people had practically no - experience in many lines of manufac ture8 carried on. We judge of fu tare possibilities by past, achieve ments, and seeing what the South has done under many difficulties with little experience and little cspi tal, and little skilled labor, we may form some conception of what she may do when the conditions in these respects are more favorable, as they are sure to be. One of the mo3t valuable contri buttons recently made to the story of the South' recources, progress and possibilities, was an address by Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, at the annual banquet of the Real Estate Board, of Chicago, last Wed nesday nigbt. It contained a vast amount of interesting information, within brief space, and was, doubt le33, a revelation- to many of the gentlemen who heard it. We make some extracts from it because they are not only interesting but worth preserving. Speaking first of cotton as the leading crop he said said: "This wonderful crop bas sold in the last one hundred years for fifteen billion dollars. The United States has received for the export of cotton dur ing the same period eleven billion dol lars. The crop of the present year alone will bring to the farmers five hundred million dollars, and still not more than one third of the agncul taral lands of the South are under cultivation. The demand for lint cot ton is erowinz with remarkable rapid ity. Modern machinery has made it possible for cotton- manufactured roods to outsirip all rivals. The rivals are foods made from wool, flax and silk. If we seek the rea " son for the success which has at tended the increased nse of cotton goods we can readily find it. The price at which lint cotton can ba raised' and profitably sold, coupled with the de velopment of machinery suited for its manufacture, has led to the production of foods made from cotton which rival in warmth those made from wool, which are as cool as those made from flax, and which are more beautiful thanthose made from silk. : "Fifty years ago the manufactories of the world used 3,600,000 bales of cotton. Last year they used nearly 18, 000,000 bales, thus making the enor mous increase of consumption infifty years of 700 per cent The cotton fields, of the 8uta furnish 70 per cent. of the lint cotton used by the manufactories of the world. EM ward Atkinson esti mated in 1895 that it would require at that time an annual crop of 43.000,000 bales to raise the world's consumption of cotton manufactured goods to the highest standard. With the progress of civilization, with the development of South American trade, with the opening of Eastern empires, the demand of the. world will soon call for an enormously iaerd supply of lint cotton 'from the South. "la i860 we exported 36,000 bales. In 1860 the crop reached 4,824 000 bales. In 1900 the crop of over 10J uuu uuu oaies is senior tor 10 cents a pound, and long before the middle of the present century 25,000,000 bales of cotton will bring to the Southern farmers over $LOOO,000,000 each year. "It has been said that the South has sent a challenge to the spinners of New England, and has put them upon notice that they cannot hope to con tinue to accumulate their millions by shipping Southern lint cotton fifteen hundred miles and then manufactu ring into cloth to ship the manufac tared cotton South again. I do not regard the competition with New Eaglandm the manufacture of lint cot ton as a true destiny for the Sou.h. All of our States do not together man ufacture SO per cent of the lint cotton raised in the South. lam opposed to struggles between parts of our own country. The challenge the South should send is not to a part of our sister 8tates, but it should be a chal -lenge by tne ' South and by all of America to the manufacturers of the lint catton of the world, and it should let them know that America will, in the South, where the beet opportuni ties in the world are offered for the mrnufacture of lint, cotton, prepare for clothing the lint cotton Of Amer ica raised in the 8outb, and ship it manufactured throughout the world." Then drawing attention to the iron and other mineral and timber resources of the South, he said: ' "The strength of the South as a iron has boon nn. producer of pig ceded for a number of -years past. Carroll D. Wright has shown in a statement of the comparative cost be tween districts in the United Btates that there is an advantage of - (3 per ton in favor of the 8outh. The price of pig ion in Europe and America to day is fixed-bv Southern furnaces. -J "The coal fields or the South cover sixty thousand square miles. Seven times as large as those of great Britain. More than those of Russia, Great Britain, Prance, Germany and Bel gium combined. "The standing timber of the "Booth is about equal in value to that of the . balance of the Union. .-; "Where then can the manufacturer turd to seek conditions more propi tious? The three great raw materials for manufacture cotton, " iron ' and : lumber are at hand. - A limitless sup ply of water and coal are alongside them, and labor is reasonable and con tented. -.?-:" 'Y ' v "I will not describe the granite, the marble, the phosphate and other kin dred resources la the South. They abound and are rapidly contributing to Southern commerce."- .y AnUdpating thfVpjoafliblet inquiry whv with Tall theaa ronTcea of field.' forest, mine arid stream' hav the not been more utilized, he answered by saying that slavery and ' the war were two impediments' and after the : war bad:goveru tnrongh the -itiiatnicUoi ' years. ' IlluitratiDg this and the happy re mit , of : good jjgoyernnaAnt, v whinh meant government' by white1 -men, . -. , f r-i. ?i although ha . did not aay that, he presented the following statistical statement: : "fh- toUl wealth of the 8outh dr--prtc d irom I860 to 1880 two biiio four hundred milliou J.llar Tn:s depreciation did not stop with ih war, but continued almost until 1880. three hundred million being properly chargeable to the period from 1870 to 1880. By 1830 the political conditions had so changed that good government had been restored is every State in the South, and in almost every county and municipality; The minds of the neonle were then turned with real and enerrv to their i material interests. The nro?ress made in the South from 1880 to 1890 is indeed remarkable. The progress made in the South from 1880 to iguu is lnaeeu remarsaois. ine census of 1890 showed an increase in assessed 'values durinr-the period of ten years of one billion eight hundred and fifteen million dollars, while the increase in the true value wai three billion eight ' hundred and ninety three million dollars. In ten years the value of the products of 4he South increased from one billion two nun dred million to two billion dollars an nuallv. .The percentage of growth during those ten year in the Southern States was about twice that of the Eastern and Middle States. "Toe census report of 1890 shows in the Southern States an increase from 1880 to 1490 of SO 76 per cent in the true valuation of real and personal nrooertv: of 108 50 per cent, in the value of manufactured products; of 40 68 per cent, in the value of farm products, and of 96 33 per cent in the expenditures for public schools. The contemnlation of these figures dis closes at once the general growth and healthv development not of an old, but of a new country. The develop ment of the Sfruth prior to 1860 had been 8 went away by the war, and by the subiequent conditions incident to the reconstruction era. The resources of the South in 1830 had been scarcely touched, and the marvellous per cent- ages of growth which I predict for the next ten years are aue, in large pari, to the fact that the development of natural resources is still in its in- fancv. Tne most marked progress of the South in all its history has been that of the past two years The farmers do not now rely upon cotton as an exclusive crop, in 1898 the ooutn prouuca do. 351 346 bushels of wheat, 490,335,976 bushels of corn and 191,033,000 pounds of sugar. In 1897 tne South furnished 47 per cent of the hogs raised in the United States. In one locality in Flo rida the freight upon the vegetables crrown from 35.000 acres, amounted to 1585,000 in a single year; in a single day from one locality in Tennessee 135 carloads of strawberries worshipped. which paid in cash over $40,000. A large county in Georgia is given over almost entirely to the peach culture, and the profits of one orchard owner during the past year were $100,000. The name of the Georgia watermelon is almott as familiar as that of the ne gro who. so much delights to eat it The truck farmers around Norfolk alone ship- nnually over six million dollars' worth of vegetables and fruit to Mew Yorxvand the East." Then hjgtve his hearers a brief sketch of the rapid progress made in cotton manufacturing, . cotton seed oil, and pig iron, the base of nam erous industries: "The growth . in manufacturing and mining is the moat marked. In 1880 there were 183 cotton factories in tne 8outh; in 1890. 364. and in 1900. 663. The per centage of increase spindles and looms largely exceeded that of the number or factories. The number of factories increased in the last year. 113. an amount almosqaal to the number existing in 1880,nd JC35 factories are now in process of construction. "The production of. Die iron in the ouun has increased since 1880 from 397.301 tons to 3.660.573 tons. The capital invested in cotton seed .oil mills has increased since 1880 from $3,500,000 to $30 000,000. yielding not only to the manufacturer a handsome profit, but furnishing to the farmer a market for a part of his cotton crop which tor many years was considered worthless, and after the dll has been extracted the cotton seed hulls are sold for food for stock, at-d upon them it nas oeen round that cattle thrive, furnishing excellent butter and the best of Southern beeves." In the narrow confines of an ad dress to be delivered on such an occasion, of course, he had to leave unsaid much that might have been said, otherwise he might have added much to what he did say showing the progress made in the growth of our cities and in diversified ; indus-. tries. But he said enough to give his Chicago hearers a pretty fair idea of what the South has done, is doing, and what it has to do it upon, and he said it in a good place, too, and before the right kind of people. - ' " According to his direction will of Prof. Andree, the pole pursnrer, was opened while ago, and it appears f r that he started ont on voyage without hoping for success and with a presentiment that he would never get back alive. Feel ing that way about it the Professor would have shown a good deal more lead male sense by staying on the ground and at home. When a man starts ont hunting for something as hard to find as theN. P. and not expecting to find it, he can't follow the chase with much heart. D. E. Olnjsted, a retired mer chant of Williamsport, .Pa., didn't propose to have any lawyers fencing over hia will. 'It consisted of two short sentences thus: "This is my last will. I leave all my property to my wife -and make 'her my execu trix." It would take two or three Philadelphia lawyers to get up a legal fracas over the meaning of that.

Senator Teller is the framer of the resolution unanimously adopted by Congress when we inteivened in be half of Cuba, declaring that! this country contemplated no territorial aggrandisement, but that when the purpose of intervention was accom plished and peace and law and order restored our troops would be with drawn from the jsland and its gov ernment turned over to the Cubans. That was subsequently followed by another resolution, which said some thing about "stable" government. There was no reference in either of these resolutions to any of the other islands belonging to Spain, and con sequently the Philippines and Porto Rico come under tham only oy in ference, but if thertf .had been any reference to them who can doubt hnt that the same language would have been used as to them? Terri torial acquisition didn't enter the thoughts of the men in Congress who voted for intervention and for these resolutions. If a"bv of them entertained any thought of that they certainly never proclaimed it. Imperialism was not dreamed of then even by its strongest defenders now. Senator Teller was one of those who didn't believe it possible, and consequently he didn't hesitate to sustain the policy of the adminis tration, and to make light of the fears expressed by some that; this policy was leading to imperialism. In his speech on the reorganization of the army he declared that he was wrong, that the imperialism that he didn't believe possible had come in its worst form, that it was a condi tion and not a theory that confronted us, such a despotism of five men rul ing absolutely over the Philippines, less defencible and more odious than the so-called despotism of the Czar of Russia. By way of comparison, he said: "The Czar of Russia is an absolute Csar. He has a council of sixty men who sit with him ; but these sixty men are Russians. Thty are people of the country. They have their sympathies and their ambitions for Russia. But these Americans in the Philippine islands are strangers in the country. Under the law they have a right there. but under God's law, which is higher than that, they have no place there at IL" A small number of men make the laws for Russia; five men, respon sible to no one but the President of the United States, who appointed them, mako the laws for the Phil ippines. The people for whom they are made harm no voice in them. Russia did, but does not jiow, ban ish people who fell under the dis pleasure of the Government ! to Siberia. Spain banished Cuban, leaders who opposed her to the penal' colony of Cueta. Russia and Spain were both denounced for this brutal despotism, and now Gen. MacArthnr is following the example of Russia nd Spain by banishing to Guam Filipino leaders who refuse to declare allegiance to the United States. - If all this isn't imperialistic despotism, what is it? Calling it "benevolent assimilation" doesn't make it any the less despot ism. , VALUE OF WATERFALLS. The Electrical Review estimates the value of the waterfalls now util ized in this country at $200,000,000. Every year will add materially to this and materially to the wealth of sections which have waterfalls that may be utilized for motive power. Since the discovery of methods for ransmitting power by electric car- rent the value of streams has been very much enhanced for many may be utilized which were previous to that practically valueless, because of the ragged character of the country, remoteness from lines of transportion, &c, but since many of these streams may now be nsed for generating electric currents which may be car ried a hundred miles and possibly further, they have now an intrinsic money value, because they can be used to drive wheels , in neifnoriog towns,or at eligible sites, become aid to industry and money makers. In addition to that the are of value to these neighboring towns because they can furnish power, the means of propelling streets cars, lighting streets, houses, &c There is no section of this coun try wheretttch water powers abound more numerously than in North Carolina, the northern boundary of which, for its full length, skirted by mountains, is a watershed, draining a large area and feeding numerous streams, large and small, the ma ority of which furnish more or less some of them a great deal of power, as they roll on towards , the sea. They .will supply power iot. only or the xnillB and other .plants established on their banks,, where that is practicable, but to mills, and other plants at considerable - dis tance from them, as several of them are now doing by utilizing the elec tric currents generated ' by them. Ten years hence the water powers of this State ;wm . be mnoh ,more valuable from a money point of view han they" are now. 2 ' r - Hot Proper.

North Wilkesboro Hustler: On Monday, December 24th, as Mr. W. A. Barker, a vouoe lawyer, who re cently went from Asheviile to Jeffer son. was en route for this place in company with a man by the name of Faw. he suddenly drew bis pistol and tried to shot himself. Mr. Faw secur red the weapon and thus prevented th e suicide for a short while. But not Ion sr. however. While crossing the mountain and opposite the "Jumping off -Place." Mr. Faw's hat blew.cff and he alighted to secure it Bar ker took advantage of the opportunity, sprang out of the wagon and leaped over the mountain, a distance of about thirty feet, then rolled down the mountain several more feet. His limbs were broken in several places, while his flesh was lacerated in a horrible manner. He was taken to a near by house and a physician was summoned. who did all he could to relieve suffer ing. At this writing we learn that he is raving and the recovery is very doubtful. There is no clue as the cause of the-rash act except insanity. Greensboro Record: A trusted correspondent tends us an account of one of the most brutal assaults yet cc curring in this part of the country.

Senator Frve has had him self interviewed, with a view to an swering in the newspapers some of the arguments against ship subsidies. Senator Hanna is threatening extra session of uongress in case the Sub sidy bill shall not be passed before adjournment. There is also an active eruption of favorite argument in the subsidy journals in all parts of the country.

SPIRITS A PHYSICIAN'S WARwiwS: Seeafnl Cooatrr Doctor ; Sbovld ;v, :Kep Awar From Torlc.. : Dr. Shrady. one of the famous New York ihjrsii-ians v-vidently- thinks "the successful conntry doctor should not go' to New Xbrk,. judging from his advice ftc this subject in Success: . - -"The medical profession-is one of the very hardest in -which to get a foothold in New York. It is rare that an out of town doctor succeeds in establishing him self here. I hare seen some most tragio failures. ; A' few years ago a celebrated doctor from a New England town got a place on the staff of one of the city col leges to lecture on a small stipend. He brought his family to the city, and his wifs soon became popular in society, but he could get no practice. He got deeper and deeper in debt, and one day he com mitted suicide. Soon after a popular physician from a New Jersey town came into' my office and said he had a notion to come to the city and cast bis lot in with the rest of us. He had seen a va cant house on Madison avenue and thought he could buy it for $30,000. I told him it would cost him 1100,000. I also told him about the tragedy men- ' tioned above and . others. He did not come. "No, a country doctor can do nothing in New-York. The conditions are altogeth er different. There everybody knows him, knows his horse and his trap, and they see him every day. There he is a stand ing advertisement. Here the only place where he can put his name is on the win dow or door, an it might stay there till doomsday and no one ever know any thing about him. But if he comes here at first and is willing to work and wait he stands a chance. If he has not enough money, however, to pay his expenses for the first five years, there is danger that he will drift into quackery, the pa0i1 nostrum easiness or criminal practice and once there the odds are against his ever becoming a reputable physician. "I can think of no condition in oar life more discouraging than that of a doctor in a great city without money, without friends, with nothing to show for him self but his sign on his door and his sheepskin on his office wall."

Bt Tatecranh to the Horning star. New YORK: January 14. The cotton market opened easy, with - prices four to six points lower. This loss was soon increased to a matter of ten to twelve points by active selling from all directions, led by tired holders. The English cables were the cause of the decline and sellinsr hereJ having reflected a weak situation in Liverpool,7 where both departments had suffered from liquidation. The basis for the heaviness abroad was larger offerings by nervous spot holders and a big crop estimate issued! here Saturday. Liverpool continued! weak to the close and sold from time to time here. New Orleans and thai South generally worked on the bull! side. Receipts at the ports and interior1 towns leu considerably short of estimates, with all indications point ing to continued high arrivals. De mand for desirable grades of spot cot ton was reported active for exnort and domestic mill uses. Fresh liquidation! carried prices to the low point of the day at tbe close. The market was finally easy with prices net ten to seventeen points lower. New York. Jan. 14.
