WHAT WILL ENGLAND GAIN
BY IT
Cecil Rhodes is an interesting
personage, a bold thinker and a bold
actor. He is probably more respon
sible for the South African war than
any other living man. It was his
brain that conceived and drew the
British Government into carrying
out the scheme that precipitated
war. A United States of Sonth
Africa has been his dream, and he
has been planning and scheming for
years to bring that about. The
Jamison raid several years ago was
his conception and his money backed
it. That failed, but it neither de
terred nor discouraged him, for he
then went to work and planned for
the war with the Boers, and was suc
cessful in roping England into it.
He played it so Bhrewdly that he pro
voked Paul Kruger to issue his ulti
matum and take the offensive, thus
putting himself in the position of
making war . on England, the very
thing which Rhodes bad schemed
for. He knew the temper of the
Boers, he knew it would be a bloody
and a costly war, but he didn't care
for that, it was bringing him that
much nearer the realization of his
dream, and Great Britain would pay
the cost in life and money.
Unless the unexpected happens
or the expected does not happen he
will succeed in his aims. If England
were to become embroiled with
Russia or some other strong power,
she might be forced to make a com
promise with and concessions to the
Republics, which might save them
from absorption by Great Britain,
which would prevent the realization
of Rhodes' dream for the present,
but England will now bear a great
deal and submit to rebuffs that she
would never submit to if her hands
were not tied in South Africa, and
if Rhodes and his fellow plottes
who control the Government policy
had not set their heads on the sub
jugation of these two Republics
which is essential to the success of
the Rhodes' scheme for the unifica
tion of South Africa.
. Assuming that it will succeed
and that British power will at last
prevail and the two Republics with
their remnant of people come un
der the British flag, what will Great
Britain gain by it? She has al
ready sacrificed 20,000 lives and
spent $600,000,000, and is now"
spending at the rate of a million
dollars a day. How many millions
more she will have to spend she has
no idea of, for when peace comes it
will be necessary to garrison the
country for some time to come, as
we are garrisoning the Philippines,
and that is an immense country to
garrison. But4f the war were ended
to-day and not another dollar need
be expended to hold the territory
and the people won, what will Eng
land gain by it?
Rhodes' dream is a unified South
Africa, a United States of South
Africa. That portion for which the
fighting has been going on will
never, outside of the minerals found
in it, be very valuable for it is not a
good farming section and can never
be densely populated. It is coveted
for its gold and other minerals and
for the territorial unification which
Rhodes has been planning for. Some
day there will be a South African
confederation, as there has been an
Austrian confederation and each
will pursue its own destiny.
Is it to be supposed that South
Africa, rich as it is in minerals and
other wealth, and dominated by
bold aspiring men will be content to
remain an appendage of Great
Britain, when it has become strong
enough to take care of itself? In
the future when the Germans and
the Belgians and other powers with
interests on that continent have
developed and strengthsned their
holdings, an army and navy
for defence will become a
necessity for the South Afri
can confederation as. they also
will for the Australian confedera
tion, and then "how long will this
new empire be willing to acknowl
edge allegiance to Great Britain?
It will use England while it needs
her and when it needs her no longer
the tie that binds them will be
severed, and probably with the con
sent of Great Britain, which in the
coming years will have all she can
do to take care of herself. England
is fighting Rhodes' battles in South
Africa now, but she might not be
able to do it ten years hence, and
the time will come when if trouble
arises . with neighbors or with
other powers South Africa will have
to fight her own battles, and when
she does that she' will not be will
ing to assume any responsibility for
England or be handicapped by any
allegiance that would warrant call
ing on her for succor in time of
war. as England called upon Canada
and Australia for troops to fight in
the Boer war.
Great Britain is not the power she
was even ten years ago. She has
lost much of her martial prestige
and neither her army nor navy is
as awe-inspiring now as they were a
few years -ago. The weakness of
both has been exposed, and the na
tions have discoveredjthat both have
been overrated. The fact is that
powerful as she is, Great Britain is
on the decline ancrhas ceased to be
the dictator she was among the na
tions. As a world power the United
States to-day commands more re
spect among the nations than Great
Britain, and, great as her navy is,
there is not one of them which
would not rather lock horns with
her than with the United States. Her
own people realize that her power is
waning and so do her colonies, and
therefore they will work to put
themselves in a position to be the
architects and arbiters of their own
destiny, unhampered by allegiance
to a nation which they may be call
ed upon to protect - instead of her
protecting them. That is what is
going to be the outcome of Eng
land's conquests in South Africa, and
then she may ask what she has
gained by sacrificing so many lives
and so much money to carry out
Cecil Rhodes' scheme of a United
South Africa.
THE ANGORA GOAT.
We saw a statement some time
ago in the Fayetteville Observer that
a Northern gentleman had pur
chased a large tract of land in Cum
berland county which he intended
to convert into an Angora goat
ranch, but as we have seen little or no
mention of it since we do not know
whether the scheme has material
ized or not. There is so much in
terest taken in this subject now
that the United States Department
of Agriculture has issued a special
bulletin on the Angora goat, a syn
opsis of which we find in the New
Orleans States, which we quote as a
matter of interest to North Caro
lina farmers:
"According; to the bulletin the first
Angora goats brought into this coun
try were nine in number and they
were presented to Dr. James B. Davis,
of Columbia, S. C., by the Sultan of
Turkey in 1849, and they were sup
posed to be "Cashmere" goats and
were so called. In 1853 most of the
Davis herd, which had largely in
creased, were purchased by Col. Rich
ard Peters, who has imported otheis.
He is generally regarded as the found
er of the Angora goat industry in the
United States. Other importations of
the tiimftin were made up to 1876. In
1881 the Sultan prohibited the export
of the goats, but a good start had been
made by the breeders in this country
and the animals are to be found in all
the States but mainly in the South
western States. Within the last few
years many have been introduced in
Oregon, and recently several thousand
have been taken into Iowa and Mis
souri, and the interest in them is now
greater than ever before and is grow
ing rapidly.
"Almost any kind of soil except
'wet and marshy land,' is suitable for
these goats. They can withstand ex
treme cold, as In Alaska, or extreme
heat, as that of the Guadaloupe
Islands, and all degrees of tempera
ture between. No place is too hot or
too cold for them. They require
shade, however, and shelter during
wet spells, as long continued rains
soaks their heavy fleece. Their pref
erence is hilly or rocky land. They
drink but little water. They 'prefer
any kind of browse to the most nutri
cious grasses,' but there are many
flocks in the United States which are
subsisting on grass alone. One of the
chief reasons why they are receiving
so much attention now is that they are
Inexpensive feeders.
"The flesh of the Angora is exceed
ingly palatable and nutritious. There
is no difficulty in disposing of it as
'mutton.' The Western packers can
it as mutton; 8,000 of the goats were
received in the stock yards of Chicago
in one week. There is no difficulty
in marketing the fleece; the only
complaint is that the supply is so
limited. The factories in the United
States consumed oyer 100,000
pounds in 1899, more than half of
which was imported. The product is
protected by a duty of 12 cents a
pound. The hides are usually worth
from $2 to $3, but fine qualities sell
as high as $18. New Tork is the
principal market for the fleece. The
best plan is to start with does of the
native breed and an Angora buck.
Angora does cost from $5 to $13 each,
and bucks from $50 to $100. The in
crease of a flock is about 100 per cent,
a year, and by crossing Angoras on
common goats a good quality of fleece
can be developed in fire or six years.'
Judging from this North Caro
lina, and almost any part of it,
would be an ideal section for this
goat, which seems to be at home
anywhere between the poles and the
tropics. There is range enough in
in this State for millions of them
and as they seem to be pretty well
"able to take care of themselves,
raising them ought to be an inviting
industry for our farmers.
TRANSMITTING POWER.
The following, which we clip
from the Baltimore, Sun, gives
some idea of the progress being
made in long distance transmission
of electric power:
"Great progress has been made in
power transmission by electricity since
the plant in the San Bernardino Moun
tains, California, began two and a half
years ago to send power a distance of
eighty miles to Los Angeles. Now a
Slant on the Upper Yuba river, in
lalifornia, sends power by wire, says
the Enaineerina News, over a distance
of 184 miles to San Jose. The current
is from 40,000 to 60,000 volts. The cur
rent sent to Oakland goes 142 miles!
Such achievements ought to cause
much reflection in Virginia towns,
where horse power is wanted for man
ufacturing industries. Many towns in
the Piedmont region and in the val
ley are less than 184 miles from ex
cellent water powers that are not
utilized."
In, France and Italy they are
utilising the melting snows of the
mountains by erecting power plants
on the mountain streams and trans
mitting the power to neighboring
towns.
The Niagara plant, which trans
mits power to Buffalo, will soon
have a rival 'in a plant which '.win
utilize the St. Lawrence river by the
construction of a canal several miles
in length and wiU transmit power to
many towns in that section.
The Sun calls attention to the
facOhat in the Piedmont region
of the South the conditions
favor the establishment of nume
rous power plants -within less dis
tance from towns than those men
tioned in the above extract. Some
of these streams, taking their rise
in the mountains, furnish power
enough to supply towns at even
greater distances, but they are so
numerous and of such average ca
pacity that it is not necessary in
any case to carry the power very
far. ,The cheapness of fuel is one'
of the reasons, perhaps, why more
attention has not been given to
electricity, but when fuel becomes
dear these plants will "be numerous
in the Piedmont country.
Senator Hoar is not losing any
sleep over possible danger to the Re
public from the growth of anarch
ism. In a speech before a Republi
can convention in ' Massachusetts a
few days ago he said if all the Re
publicans were to die, the Democrats
would take care of the Republic, if
all the Protestants were to .die the
Catholic citizens would, if all
the native citizens were to die
the adopted citizens, would, and if
all the men in the North were to die
the South would. He is not afraid
and isn't seeing any spooks.
The Galveston New s charges that
Texas State Senators black their
shoes while in the capital and make
the State pay for the blacking used.
They show moderation in not hav
ing a shiner do the job and charg
ing the State with the shines. But
what does a Texas Senator want to
have his shoes blacked for anyhow.

that the United States navy has
much rotten timber in its officers
and needs a drastic reform from
Dr. Roosevelt. Augusta Clironicle,

Richmond Dispatch, Dem.
It is immaterial from what
source came the influence which re
sulted in the appointment of Gov
ernor Jones to fill a vacancy on the
federal bench in this State, it is
enough for the people of Alabama
to know that in this selection Presi
dent Roosevelt has chosen a man
who has won the esteem and admi
ration of the people" of his own
State, and that as a judge of the
Federal Court of their State they
know they not only will have a man
and a lawyer fully equipped and
qualified to preside, but that at his
hands no interest of the State or of
the people will suffer. Well done,

The Niagara power plant has
been put in the shadow. A much
bigger system has been opened by
the St. Lawrenoe Power Company
at Massena, N. Y., at a cost of more
than $5,000,000. The charge is $13
a year per horse power, against $23
at Niagara. A development of 75,
000 horse power is counted upon.
"To secure this result a canal has
been dug deflecting from the St.
Lawrence river a stream 265 feet
wide and twenty-five deep. The
canal is three miles long and emp
ties into the Degrasse river, a trib
utary of the St. Lawrence lower
down. A thousand men have been
working on the plant for four years,

to 8.09. The cables from both departs
ments of the Liverpool market were
about as expected and receipts con
tinued on about the scale anticipated.
But the factor which disturbed the
bears was the weather news. This gave
heavy rains over extensive portions
of the central and western belt and a
short drop in temperature with frost
feared in Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory to-night Moreover, there was
little cotton for sale in the local pit
and the 'market seemed pretty free
from burdensome long interests. The
South bought sparingly in our market
during the forenoon, chiefly near
months. Bad crop accounts, a statement
in the Chronicle that the yield
was turning out less than expect
ed, and continued large spot
demand for both export and home
use, helped to strengthen the early
market For a Saturday short session,
business was quite active and well dis
tributed through the trade. In the
last hour shorts abandoned all pre
tence and retreated before bull aggres
sion with a rush. The close was well
near the top, steady, and net five to
