BY WILUAS a. UuKNARD, WIL.MiNTUJN. SH. C. WEDNESDAY ilOBHUffcr, MARCH 27. SOUTHERN PR0GRES3- Yesterday we published an article based on an exhibit made by the Manufacturers' Record showing the yalne of the cotton crop last year, but this showed only a part of the progress made by the South on agri cultural lines. The article from which we quoted yesterday gives tables of official figures showing the production of the various staple crops and their values, which are interesting as evidence of the prog ress Southern farmers are making in, diversified agriculture. The four teen, Southern States includ ing Maryland, West Virginia and Kentucky," produced last year of Corn, 477.655 803 bushels, worth S34,'$48.13 Wheats 93,858,8 basnets, wonh... . . 63 201 873 Oats, 63.998 25tt bushels, worth. .... 30,871 078 Bye. 1,973,313 bushels, worth 1,306,648 man 10,254 497 43.466 48 26.3C0.0OO 40,003,00) 10.COO 000 25,000,000 3 030,003 potatoes. 16 940 410 bushels. wunu Hay. 3,720,083 tons, worth. 8uar.

The apples raised in 1890 amounted to 46,947,029 bushels and peaches to 27,993,106 bushels, nearly one-third of the apple crop of the whole coun try and two-thirds of the total peach crop. The figures for last year are not yet issued, but the totals will doubtless show up much larger than these, for both apple and peach cul ture, especially the latter, have re ceived much attention since 1890, the estimates being that the South now produces three -fourths of the peaches grown in the country. There is not much definite infor mation as to the trucking and small fruit industry. Most of the figures bearing upon this are gathered from the railroads, which report the num ber of car-loads and tons of small fruit and vegetables carried by their lines, basing estimates on which the Record places the value of small I fruit and vegetables marketed last year at $50,000,000, which it consid ers a moderate figure, and summing up gives the total value of our agri cultural products at $1,220,500,000. After making careful and conserva tive estimates, based on comparisons with the census reports of 1880 and 1890, of the value of our manufac tured and mineral products (exclud ing cotton and cotton seed) it thus sums up the total value: From c Dttpn and cotton products . . 75M,ooo Other agricultural products. 685,500 coo Manufactured and mineral pro ducts (excluding cotton pro ducts) on the lowest estimate . . . 1,356,000 003 Total. the acre, when a bale of cotton to the acre acre could be produced and twenty-fire bushels of wheat, and other products in the same propor tion. Of course this could not be done on every acre, but it could be done on most of the land upon which these crops are grown. The South is really a better grain and grass-growing section than the North or the West, because the sea sons are longer and there is more time for the maturing and full de velopment of the cereals, while with the grasses which grow so luxuriant ly, aud the judicious use of fertili zers lands apparently poor can be brought to a high state of fertility and easily kept so. There has been experimenting enough done on this line to establish it beyond a ques tion of doubt. In the matter of marketing the results are not as good as they should be because there is too much rushing to get in 'early and, con sequently too much glutting follow ed by poor prices or no prices at all, some if not all of which might be avoided by better distribution and less rush in trying to get there first. When these things are done systematically, and the surplus that cannot be profitably marketed is taken care of and canned for Winter use inst Ad of going to waste, the showing from a money point of view will be much better. . Ji,764 000,000 This it contends is the very lowest possible estimate and considerably under rather than over the true figures for manufacturing and mi ning. In justification of this con tention it says: "Thus, taking the very lowest pos sible estimate of tha South's manu factured products, the total produc tions of the South for the year would aggregate $2,764,000,000, whereas the true figures for manufacturing aad mining are, of course, much larger than the $1,356,000,000 estimate. Now, let us undertake to form soma idea from stray straws as to whthi. the South's increase of manufacturers and mining during the last decade is as great as during the preceding one In 1890 the 8outh's output of coal was 22.000,000 tons, a gain of 16.000 tons over 1880. In 1890 the South's coal production was probably nearly 45 -000,000 tons, a gain of 22,000,000 toa's over 1890. The South's pig iron pro ductioa last year was 2,604, 671 tons against 1,743,161 tons in 1890. In cotton manufacturing the South had 1,700,000 Ipindles and 161,000 000 of capital in 1890, a gain of 1,100,000 spindles and of 40,000.000 capital over 1880. The South now has over 6, 000.000 spindles, or three and a haif times as many as in 1880. The actual capital caunot be known until the census is com pleted, but the percentage of increase is less than in the number of spindles because of the lower cost of equipment, for, on the same basis of capital to apmuie as in ieu, tne south's capital in cotton manufacturing would now be over $200,000,000, whereas it is no doubt very considerably less. There are in active operation this season 425 cottonseed-oil mills, representing an actual cash investment of over $50 -000,000 against 119 with a capitaLof $15,808,000 in 1890, and forty-five W1.tha caPital of $3,800,000 in 1880. The lumbering interests of the whole South have grown with great rapidity during the last decade. In stead of sending away all our lumber in its rough shape, we are turning out more and more finished products, as illustrated by the simple statement that High Point, N. C, has within ten years developed a furniture making industry the output of which was $1, 500.000 last year, aea nst little or nothing ten years before. A year ago 1 ui in . , m -' o. b. rernow. me rorestrv exnart NOT A CHINESE JOSS. Representative Babcock, of Wis consin, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, says he has no idea of abandoning his movement for the repeal of the tariff duties on Trust-controlled ar ticles, but will push it wnen Con gress meets. He is quoted as say ing ina recent inteiew : "I am not striking: at the Trusts alone. I say that if any individual is enabled through the tariff to impose extortionate prices upon the people, he is just as much an object for Con gressional legislation as any Trust. We ought not to set up the Dingley bill, like a Chinese Joss, as something to be worshiped and never changed. The Republican party is- a party of progress. We have now a new and very serious problem before us in the effect of the tariff in creating Trusts, and we ought to meet it." This is interesting as coming from a representative Bepublican and a distinguished leader of a party which has all along scouted the idea that a protective tariff fosters Trusts. This is a frank admission that it does and an admission, also, that the way to protect the people from the extortions of Trusts and of tariff protected individuals and corpora tions is to repeal the protection that encourages those extortions. In this respect Mr. Babcock simply steps onto the Democratic platform and proposes to jo up the Demo cratic fight against high tariff and the 1 rusts, and claim for his party credit for anything that may be done to lower the tariff or curb the Trusts. But it isn't the Trusts or extor tions that are putting a move on Mr. Babcock; it is politics. He realizes that the people are becom ing very tired of this high protec tive tariff, for which there is no longer any plausible excuse, and he is moving to put his party in line with the people. If enough of his party colleagues . take the same view of it that he does, and conclude that it will be good politics to re peal the duties on Trust controlled articles they will support Mr. Babcock, but if not he will have to depend mainly on Democratic votes to accomplish anything. Of course he will have Democratic support if he makes an honest fight. THE FORCE OF EXAMPLE. Andrew Carnegie has already given more money -for public libra ries than any other man in this or any otner age, ana yet ne nas scarcely begun to give, although he has given so far somb $30,000,000. His benevolence seems to center on libraries, and institutions for the education of the head and hand. This makes it interesting to know what turned his thoughts in this direction and led to such magnifi cent and continuous generosity. Explaining the reasons why his thoughts have been so much cen tered on libraries, he is quoted as saying: "When 1 was a working ftoy in Pittsburg Colonel Anderson, of Alle gheny a name I can nevr speak without feelings of devotional grati tude opened his little library of four hundred books to boys. Every Satur day afternoon he was in attendance at his house to exchange "books. No one but he who has felt it can ever know the intense longing with which the ar rival of Saturday was awaited, that a new book might be hsfl. My brother and Mr. Phipp?, who have been my principal business partners through life, shared with me Colonel Ander son's precious generosity, and it was when revelling in the treasures which he opened to us that I resolved, if ever wealth came to me, that it should be used to establish free libraries, that other poor boys might receive oppor -tunities similar to those for which we were indebted to that noble man." From this it seems that this country is really indebted for all these libraries, all the millions ex pended and to be expended, to the interest that Colonel Anderson took in the boys to whom he threw open his library. His was a thoughtful, generous deed, but little did he think how far reaching the effect would be nor the superb munificence it would inspire. A good deed is rarely lost in this world. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. SUNNY WOMEN. Who has not known the woman whose disposition is described by that one word " sunny ? " There's always a laugh lurk ing on her lips. Her cheeks are ever ready to dimple in smiles. Her house hold influence is as brightening and stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing can be crueler than to have this sunshine blotted out by disease. But this is a common cruelty. The young wife who was the sunshine of the home becomes its shadow. Every young wife should know the value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription in the protection and pres ervation of the health. It promotes regularity, dries the drains which enfee ble body and mind, and cures inflamma tion, ulceration and female weakness. It nourishes'" the nervous system and gives to the body the balance and buoy ancy of perfect health. It is a strictly temperance medicine. "1 can sy that your medicine cured me," writes Mrs. Maud Pearce, of Stoutsville, Fair field Co.. Ohio. l had Buffered about twelve years from female weakness and I had almost irhren up, thinking there was no cure for me. Then I heard about Dr. Pierce's medicine and thought I would try it. and can say that seven bottles of your ' Favorite Prescription made me well. I am now able to do my own housework. I took about twelve bottles in all of Dr. Pierce's medicines. Took some of the ' Golden Medical Discovery, ' Favorite Prescription ' and some of the ' Pleasant Pellets.' " Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation. TWIINKLINQS The colored janitor of the Arizona Legislature lost his job, not on ac count of his girl's goo-goo eyes but because one of the members made use of the word' "nigger" in a speech. The tony janitor objected to the word "nigger" and wrote a communication to a paper denounc ing its use as "an insult to the race." The Legislature didn't ap prove of his doing double duty of janitor and censor, called him up, gave him some advice and bounced him. : A Pennsylvania solon proposes to stimulate the marrying business in that State by fixing the license fee for bachelors over 40 years at $100, and make it a finable offence of $100 to go outside of the State to marry. This dosen't say much for the at tractiveness of the Pennsylvania women, when the men must be thus stimulated intoymmping into matri mony before they reach the age of 40 years.

The fact that the Mormon Mr. of the country, in an elaborate article in tne Manufacturer Record, showed that the lumber business of the South, including that used for fencing and nies, aggregates over $200,000,000 a year. These figures show not only .marked progress, but they also show the varied productions, natural and manufactured, and also the atten tiongiven to diversified crops, all the leading crops grown in the country being embraced in the ex hibit made by the South. And yet while these fierures of o production in agriculture show up BECOMING MORE THREATENING For some time it has seemed that a clash in China between Russia and some of the other Powers was inevit able. A few days ago the Russian and British troops were glarinf at each other, within speaking distance at Tien Tsin, when a gun fared might have precipitated war hetween those two nations. But tlft was at least temporarily averted, and now Japan steps to the front and seems disposed to tackle the Bear without much talk or ceremony. For some time the relations be tween Japan and Russia have been very much strained, Japan being suspicious of Russia's movements not only in Manchuria but in Korea. Although Japan behaved admirably i n China, where her soldiers fought valiantly and where she showed less of tho opprosaivo, grasping spirit than any of the other Powers save this country, she has kept a sharp eye on Russia, with the firm belief that she would be forced to. war at last, and consequently she has been preparing for it. Her people have been at a war heat for months, and if it was left to them war would have been declared some time ago. If it comes it will be utterly im possible for other powers to keep out of it, for they all have interests that will be more or less affected by it, and thus what started out to be a war proieci 'Knew and punish the Boxers, will develon vmv wall t.Vl OTT ora nnf an uJ I TTtiarVif.

That is the way it looks now. settlement in Coahuila, Mexico, has recently been increased by the mi gration of 2,000 more from Utah thither, and that the Mormons have obtained possession of fruitful lands in four or five other States of Mexi co, makes it not unlikely that before long only those who are perfectly satisfied with one wifo will be left in Utah.

"Cabinet and bureau officers," said a private secretary of one of the former, "lose a lot of valuable time in signing their names to official documents which are given life by the scrawl traced so hurriedly upon them. "Ancient official documents show that when George Washington signed his name during the early part of his first administration he frequently wrote it George Washington,' although his favor ite signature and the one he commonly signed was 'Go. Washington.' It has also been found on documents written 'G. Washington.' Doubts may be enter tained as to the accuracy of this state ment, as the almost universal signature known to the public is with his first name abbreviated Go.,' but the facts are as I state them. wnen Mr. Lincoln first entered the White House, he always signed his name in full, 'Abraham Lincoln.' Subsequent ly he abbreviated his official signature to the 'A. Lincoln' of familiar sieht. "Mr. Cleveland elided one of his Chris tian namej before he came to Washing ton, and he always wrote 'Grover Cleve land' in full. "The president devotes a specified time daily to affixing his signature to papers of state, and the commissions of army, navy and other officers bearing" presiden tial appointments, and presidential post masters, of whom there are about 3,500, changing with each administration or re commissioned If reappointed. Mr. Lin coln evidently found that it consumed too much time to write his name in full, and this is the reason, no doubt, why he ab breviated it. "It cannot be said with exactness which of the cabinet officers signs his name the most frequently. 1 believe, however, that it is the posMbaster gen eral. Not only does he affix his signa ture to the countless official papers of the department in common with his con freres, but he signs the commissions of all the postmasters of the fourth class, and they approximate 70,000. Some times one postoffice will be comnnssion ed several times during the term of the incumbent postmaster general, and it would not be far out of the way to say that he signs from 80,000 to 100,000 fourth class postmasters' commissions during bis term. "Cabinet officers acquire great rapidity in making these formal signatures, and they hurry through with it, as it is a task and blocks other more imuort.int work. Messengers stand by the side of the chief presenting the commissions or papers with one hand while they quickly blot each signature as made with the other." Washington Star.

This was not as food as expected, as the trade looked for an advance of eight to ten point?.

The more active positions were May, which sold from 8 70 to 7 81 July at from 7.73 to 7 82, and October at from 7.17 to 7.28. The close was quiet at a net advance of seven to fourteen points.
