HO DAHGER OF OVERDOtSG IT.
Some of the people who are in
terested in the cotton mill busi
ness in the North seem to be very
much afraid that-cotton manufac
turing is in, danger of being over
done in the South, sand therefore
they paternally advise that a check
be put npon mill building, and that
the Southern mills give their atten
tion mainly to the manufacture of
the cheaper grades of goods, leav
ing the finer grades to the Northern:
mills.
The quarter from which this
opinion and advice come would
leave it at least liable to suspicion
as being prompted by selfish mo
tives, but whatever it be honest or
not, whatever the fate of cotton
manufacturing in the North may be
there is no danger of overdoing it
in the South.: If the market were
confined to this country that might
be so, but cotton goods have the
world" for a market, and the coun
try which can make and deliver the
kind of goods wanted will have the
lead in the market and control it.
It might just as reasonably be
argued that there is danger of over
doing the steel business by building
steel mills in the South, because
there are mora steel mills now in the
country than are necessary to sup
ply the home demand for consump
tion. Notwithstanding, this fact
more steel mills are being erected in
the North, and the capacity of
others increased to supply foreign
markets. There is no danger of
overdoing the steel business nor the
cotton manufacturing business nor
any other business which has a world
market, provided the manufacturers
of this country can compete with
the manufacturers of other conn
tries. Competition and the struggle
for supremacy may for a time make
profits small, but in the end it will
be "she survival of the fittest," and
the weakest must drop out of the
race and vanish.
Trade is a jnatter of dollars.
There is no sentiment in it, and it
doesn't "follow the flag" any more
than it follows the moon. People
buy where, other things being equal,
they can buy to the best advantage,
and therefore the people who can
t supplythem with what they want
for the least money and give satis
faction as to the goods supplied,
etc., will get their traile. ' England
does not grow cotton. She bnys
every pound she manufactures, yet
sne a as become the great cotton
manufacturer of the world and
controls;: the ;Worlds cotton mar
ket.' Out of the total of 105,
190,565 spindles in the world in
1900 Great Britain had 46,000,000
or not.far frpjn one half. The rest
of Europe had 33,000,000, the
United States 18,590,000, of which
the South had 4,540,000 or a little
over 4 per cent, of the total of the
world's spindles.
crop in the form of goods' instead of
raw cotton, and the result of that
would be that the mills in Europe
which manufactured the raw cotton
supplied from this country would
have to go out of business, for they
would not have any business - to do.
The world's needs wouldj hasngplied
without them, ..
- So when it comes to a question
between the mills of the North and
of the South as to the cost of pro
duction the Southern mills will have
the advantage because so much
nearer the cotton supplies, which is
only one of several favoring condi
tions. Incase of competition be
tween these the Southern mills could
lead, as they ultimately will lead.
If the multiplication of Southern
mills hurts at all it will be the
Northern and not the South
ern mills which"" will be
hurt for, these can survive
where the Northern mills might
perish. It is in the power
of this country to control the cotton-goods
trade of the world, which
it will some day do, and there is no
danger of overdoing the cotton
manufacturing business while the
world must have the amount of cot
ton goods it needs now and while
we produce such a large percentage
of the world's crop of cotton.
There is only one thing which
could make the ultimate predomi
nance of this country doubtful and
that is that European mills find
some new source of cotton supplies
wmcn wouia answer their purpose
as well and as cheaply as the cotton
they now get from this country.
This might enable them to hold
ai
ineir own ana compete with us on
the1 other side of the seas. While
this is possible there is yet no en
couraging promise of it and nothing
to discourage the building of mills
in the South.
A SENSIBLE MOVEMENT-,
A press dispatch , published yes
terday states that' the Southern
Hailway r is inaugurating a scheme
for. the improvement of the. country
roads in the territory tributary to
its lines. The scheme is to send
along its lines a train equipped with
road-making machinery and road
experts who know how to handle
the machinery and build roads, who
will construct sections to show the
people how it is donei and how to
get roads that will be pasting.
This is a sensible movement, both
from an educational and. business
standpoint, because the . people of
the country who do the road mak
ing know very little about it, and
waste about four-fifths of the labor
put upon them, and because, from
a business stand point, the railroads
are quite as much interested in good
roads as the people of the country
are; Every mile of good road con
structed would add something to the
production of the adjacent country,
something more for market and for
shipment. ' Continne the work a
distance of twenty-four or thirty
miles, say, and the difference in pro
duction would be immense.
This would mean a good deal for
the railroad not only in carrying
freight away but in carrying freight
back. The more people sell the
more they can afford to buy, and
the more goods the merchants can
sell. The more they sell the more
traffic for the railroad, so that the
railroad in the end gets back what
it spends on the country roads in
the way of giving object lessons and
stimulates interest in road building.
Next to branch roads as railroad
feeders are good turnpikes and they
do not cost anything like what
branch roads do. The example set
by the Southern road ought to be
followed by all the roads in the
South.

Ablest of All Physicians Freely
Give Advice. -
It is truer today than ever before
that one man is no better than another
unless he does more than another.
When, recently, in the most learned
medical review in London, the organ
of the great English college of physi
cians and surgeons, it was proved by,
exhaustive statistics that, despite the
drain upon nerves and blood incident
to the modern, strenuous life despite
the fact that diseases of the
nervous system appear earlier and
often er among ' working people than
formerly, nevertheless, within the
past five or six years the' average life
of Americans was materially longer
than it was a decade ago the editors
of the review pronounce.il as their
firm opinion that this undoubtedly re
sulted in no small degree from the
discovery a few years ago by an emi
nent American physician of a positive
cure for diseases of the nervous sys
tem, which had promptly been put
within the6 reach of the public in that
WHAT IT SHOWS.
There are very few newspaper
readers who haven t more spare
time than they know what to do
with who have waded through the
mass of testimony in the Schlej
case, rerhaps navy men may if
they are anxious to learn what they
have to say about each other. But
it doesn't require much reading of
it to show a few things some of
which have been suspected for some
time. One of these is that the Navy
Department is determined to give
Schley a black eye if it can do it.
This is indicated by the evident
bias of Judge Advocate Lemly who
is playing the .role of prosecutor in
stead of a judge whose business it is
to elicit facts without leaning to
either side. Every question he asks
is apparently inspired by a purpose
to reflect upon Admiral Schley, and
every objection he makes is to some
question that would show in favor
of Schley, .whom he has sometimes
referred to as the "accused" instead
Life in the American navy is a
sort of floating picnic. Rear Ad
miral Schley reached the retiring
age; 62 years, on the 9thinst. The
tnree notable events in his career
are the finding of the lost Arctic
explorer, Greely, in June, 1884, the
pounding of Cervara's fleet in July,
1898, and the court of inquiry now
in progress. Eliminating the
last, this is a bigger record than any
of the others dan show, except

One of the physicians, member
then and now of the royal staff in
forwarding a copy or the article to
the proprietors of Paine's celery com
pound, enclosed a long and somewhat
technical letter, in which he said:
"We are thoroughly convinced that
no remedy yet known affords so cer
tain relief from that class of disorders
which modern conditions of working
and living now breed, as your Paine's
celery compound."
Certainly one remedy is no better,
than another unless it accomplishes
more than another.
And Paine's celery comnound is
preeminently' the beat remedv known
to medicine for the cure of ailments
that result from impaired nerves and
consequent impure blood v The rheu
matism, neuralgia, sleeplessness, in
digestion, lack of strength that a bottle
of Paine's celery compound so rapidly
dispels are but temporary conditions
if the relief that this remedy affords is
