-.rl-'r..y.-.- BY WIXiAtlAA B. BBKHAKD WILMINUTUH. N. C. TUESDAY flLOIUTUTS. Nov. 26. THE SOUTH AND THE UlSS CHANT HABIHE Senator McLaurin, of South Car olina, is a zealous advocate of subsi dies to American ships, assuming that we can't hare a merchant marine without subsidies. On the general assertion that an American merchant marine is desirable there is probably little difference of opin ion. It would, doubtless, be a good thing from a commercial standpoint and is desirable even from a stand point of national pride, for every nation should be as thoroughly in dependent of other nations as possible. But there is a difference of opinion as to how to get that marine, and whether it is necessary or advisable or right to go down into the pockets of the people when it could be secured in some other way than going down into the pockets of the people. That's all the differ ence there is between the advocates of 8ubsidiea and those who are op posed to them. Senator McLaurin believes the South is especially interested in such a marine for which he made the fol lowing plea in his address at the recent Cotton Spinners' Convention in Atlanta: I announced myself during the last session of Congress as in favor of a subsidy for an American merchant marine, because I felt that it was es sential to adequate material defence and development. Our weakness upon the sea is the great danger that con fronts the nation. From an economic point of view there is every reason why the South should desire an American merchant marine. More than 35 per cent, of the nation's exports in 1900 were ship ped from the Southern ports, valued at $490343,912. while but 6 percent, of the imports, valued at 52,413,641, en tered Southern ports. Bight here we find one of the cardinal reasons wby the traffic of our Southern seaports is not larger than at present. , "The great bulk of our staple ex ports originate either in the Mississippi Valley, that drains into the Oulf ports, or in the South itself. CottoD, corn, wheat and: provisions form the oulk of our export trade. "I have gone to some pains to inves tigate and I find that of the vessels en tering the ports of the United States in 1900 from abroad 20 per cent, en tered in ballast in North Atlantic, 28 per cent, in Pacific and 60 per cent, in South Atlantic and Gulf ports. "You may be sure that this is a handicap of the most serious, nature, restrictive of an increase in tfie trade of Southern ports. It means that 60 per cent, of the vessels coming to Southern ports must earn enough on the export cargo to pay for the entire round voyage. Perhaps you never thought of that, but it is certainly worthy your most serious considera tion. "Another reason why the South is interested in American ships is that when the Isthmian canal is constructed we may be able to utilize it with our .ships and commerce. We do not want to see the Isthmian canal become merely a foreign highway of com merce. We do want our millions ex pended merely to become a bounty to foreign shipping. It should be an American highway, and we should so develop our mercantile, marine that that with the opening of this great canal our own flag shall predominate at the masthead of a majority of the hips that it accommodates." Admitting that the South is in terested in an American merchant marine and assuming that the fig ures which Senator McLaurin gives are correct does he correctly account for the condition he deprecates or is his remedy the good and only one to bring about the change which would like to see? Is there no other handicap to a merchant marine and obstacle to the Sonth's commerce which could and should be removed? He ignores the fact that it is but a short while comparatively since the South has begun to figure as an ex porter or importer in competition with the sea-coast trade centers of the North Atlantic, and that condi tions have prevailed to keep the South in the back ground in this respect regardless of any port the ownership of the vessels carrying cargo might play. New York, on the Atlantic, and San Francisco, on the Pacific, are the two great export and import ports for the country at large. This fact made them the objective ter mini, of great systems of railways. New York, on this side, has led and continues to lead, simply be cause it has had the start; hun dreds of millions of capital has cen tered there; it has its railroad arms reaching out through the continent . and bringing its products there for shipment, and its success and prom inence have been achieved entirely regardless of the flag that flew over the vessels that entered or cleared from that port. Fewer vessels come there in- ballast than to Southern ports, because that is the great im port port for the Atlantic and Western States. The North At lantic ports, led by New York, ship everything of our exportable pro ducts, manufactured and natural grain, flour, meats, iron and steel manufactures, machinery, cotton goods, ; much of our raw cotton, etc., while the exports of the South are mainly confined to cotton, lum ber, naval stores, etc, although within the past, few years New Or leans has been coming to the front as a shipper of foodstuffs. The ownership of the vessels which did the carrying for these porta, had no influence on these conditions, for they came from causes with which the nationality of the vessels had nothing to do. Doesn't the fact that the princi- pal North Atlantic, ports, especially New York, are the main importers for the country at large sufficiently account for the disparity in the per centage of ships arriving in ballast North and South ? More ships come with cargoes to Northern ports than to Southern ports because there are the great trade centers from which imports are distributed throughout the country, even through the South, which has no import distrib nting centers. It will be thus until Southern ports become distributing centers for the South and the West, as Baltimore. Philadelphia, New York and Boston, especially New York, have been and now are, and it will not matter whether we have an American merchant marine, (subsi dized or not subsidized,) or not, Southern ports can never compete with the leading Northern porta as importers until trade combinations are made with the interior reaching upintothe West, whose cities are now dependent upon Northern ports for the imported goods they use. When this condition of things changes then fewer ships will come in ballast to Southern ports, and until this condition does change just as many will come in ballast re gardless of the flag under which they sail. There is another fact not alluded to by Senator McLaurin which will go far to account for the number of ships that come in ballast to all of our ports, and that is the proteo tive and practically prohibitory tariff which hampers buying abroad or exchanging the products of this country for the products of other countries. If it were not for this, there would be more incoming car goes, and while there is this handi- pap to trade it will hot make much difference whether our exports go ont under the American or any other flag. If we had a subsidized American merchant marine the pro tective tariff would destroy it un less the subsidies were large enough to keep it afloat regardless of its earnings. AH IDEAL FIELD FOR ELEGTBIC PLAHTS- The time is coming when electri city will be the main power employ ed in the manufacturing industries, and this indicates the sections which will forge to the front as manufac turing sections. In writing a few days ago about the manufacturing progress made by North Carolina in the past decade, we made some reference to the prospective progress of the present decade, giving as one of the reasons the numerous streams that may be utilized in furnishing electric power for manufactories. These streams are found running through almost the entire length of the State, from the Roanoke in the East to the French Broad iin the West, some of them streams of prac ticaiiy unlimited power and never closed by ice. There are few sec tions of the world, we imagine, which can, within the same area, present more available water powers, that can be utilized easily and at moderate expense, as some of them are now being utilized. mi a ine aDundance 01 water powers in the Piedmont region is being pretty generally recognized, and has become a subject of comment in scientific and other journals in other sections. The Electrical Re view speaking of them, and their immense possibilities from an elec trical standpoint, says; For many yean the manufacturing possibilities of that section of the country have been neglected, but the new awakening of the industrial pos siblities of the Atlantic Seaboard States has stimulated in great degree the development of the splendid pow ers which are found along the whole eastern slope of the Appalachian chain from the Potomac river to Georgia. Nowhere else in the world is water power more potentially useful than in this section. The climate is such that power may be developed throughout the year to great advantage, and the constantly increasing manufacturing I J 4 " M A I ; 11 J L uiuiuirwi ui me reiou wm uuuDuesi absorb u as fast as it can be developed. The Southern States to-day present one or tne most attractive fields for engineering development in the United states, and the number of plants now under erection or in contemplation in that section is a gratifying indication thrt the fact -has been appreciated. There are a half dozen or more rivers running through this State, any one of which could supply elec tric motive power enough to drive all the machinery in the State, and all of which combined could fur nish practically unlimited power. Thousands of wheels and millions of spindles in addition to those we have will yet be humming by the power generated by these streams. BLTjjTDE&nra chambbblaijt. . Lord Chamberlain has achieved a reputation for blundering that has put him in the front rank in that re spect. He blunders not only in his management, but also in his speeches, and seldom opens his his month in public that he doesn't, as the phrase goes, "put his foot in it." He has. recently made to speeches; in one of which, while admitting that the war in South Africa had proved a disappointment and that-the ex penditure of money and loss of life had far exceeded! expectation, still declared that there would be no compromise, and that the war would be prosecuted to the bitter end: nd this, too, while there was a prospec tive necessity of resorting to con scription to 11 the ranks in South Africa. This speech, admitting so much and holding ont so little hope of peace, aroused a storm of protest throughout the Kingdom, from those who are opposed to Chamber lain's bungling methods, and believe that peace can be secured,and life and treasure saved, without sacrificing British ' honor, which has already been tarnished by Chamberlain's criminally stupid course. In the 8econd,a speech delivered in Edinburg recently, when answering the charges of cruelty and barbarity in the prosecution of the war against the Boers, he blundered again when he said those barbarities were no worse than those committed by other nations at war. Sherman in his swing 'round to the sea,, for in stance, and notably Germany in her war with France. This refeience to Germany has aroused a storm of in dignation throughout that Empire and warmed the German people up to almost fighting heat. The Ger man government has not yet per mitted itself to become excited, but sometimes governments find popular clamor irresistible, especially if the army and navy sympathise with the popular clamor. The feeling in Germany to wards England was and is far from friendly and the sympathy of the masses of the people are ' with the Boers, not so much, perhaps, be cause they like the Boers as because they dislike the English, 'and yet Chamberlain knowing this, and when it was the part of prudence to avoid arousing antagonisms that might result injurously to England, he goes ont of his way to insult (as the Germans construe it) a power that has kept its hands off when it would have preferred if circum stances favored to take a hand in. Another such speech as Chamber lain made at Hamburg might pos sibly result in that, if the present excitement blows over without re suiting in injurious complications. Chamberlain needs muzzling badly. The United States Attorney Gen eral recently decided that under law passed in 1866, the Commercial Pacific Cable Company had a right to lay a Pacific cable, and that com pany has contracted with an English company to lay the cable, work to begin at once and be prosecuted to completion. It will go to Honolulu, thence to Manila, where it will con nect with the cable to Hong Kong, thus girdling the earth, as cables will then cross both oceans, and thus another subsidy scheme is busted. The big snake which had i domicile in the Everglades Florida is reported to have been killed by a fellow who got so scared that he ran away. An expedition has started out in search for the remains. Jl this snake was, as re ported, "as big as a flour barrel and twenty-five feet long," there must be something crude about snake architecture in the Everglades. He was chopped off too soon at both ends. When the wife of Minister Wu re turned from China, she brought with her three Chinese maidens. For the information of the boys who might try a little flirting with these ntue maidens, mi. wu announces that he will keep them corralled ac cording to the Chinese custom, so that if the boys do any mashing, they will have to scale the fence. CURRENT COMMENT. The South after all is the true America. With barely 1 per cent, ol foreigners here, against 25 per cent, in New York State, about 36 per cent, in New England and 35 per cent, in the Northwest, she can safeguard American ideas of society and government.

Assume an easy position, with the hands resting over the abdomen, Presi dent Hyde of Bowdoin suggests in The Outlook, discussing the matter of sleep. Take a long, slow, but easy and natural breath in such a way as gradually and gently to lift the hands outward by the action of the abdomen. At the same time slowly and gradually open the eyes so that at the end of the inspira tion they are wide open and directed upward. Let the breath out easily and naturally, letting the hands fall inward as the outward pressure of the abdo men is withdrawn. At the same time let the eyes drop and the eyelids natu rally fall by .their own weight so that they are closed at the end of the expi ration. Do all this quietly and natu rally. Do not make too hard work of It. Repeat the inspiration and expira tion, with opening and lifting, dropping and closing of the" eyesAen times. Then take ten breaths in the same way, al lowing the eyes to remain closed. Al ternate ten breaths with the opening and dosing of the eyes. When the eye lids begin to feel heavy and you feel tired and sleepy, as you will very soon, go through the motions more and more easily and lazily" until you merely -will the motions without making any effort, or hardly any effort, to execute them. At this stage, or more likely in one of tbe intervals of breathing without any motion of tbe eyes, you will fall asleep. Nervous persons win have some dim culty at first in the gradual opening and closing of the eyes. They will tend to fly open and then snap together; but, as putting salt on a dove's tall is a sure rule for catching the dove, so this grad ual and easy opening and closing of the eyes in rhythm, with quiet, natural breathing, once secured, are almost equivalent to dropping off to sleep. This rule induces the respiration that is characteristic of normal sleep. It tires the set of muscles, the tiring of which is one of the favorite devices for pro ducing hypnosis. It produces and calls attention to certain sensations in the eyes and eyelids which are tbe normal precursors of sleep. Finally persons who have had difficulty In going to sleep report that this method puts them to sleep and puts them back again when they wake up too soon.

The cotton market opened steady, with prices two points lower ana mree points Higher, auu luimcuiaieiy tarnea nrm on a scramble of snorts to cover. At the beginning of the call the room was oeansniy influenced by weakness in Liverpool, out before the call ad journed light interior receipts and short crop estimates from the South turned tbe tide of Bentiment in lavor or cotton. January ad vanced to 7P7 on buying for both accounts. Business from the. out siae public, however, was not large enough to keep the market up and by uuuuajr prices uau aiowiy settled back to Saturday's final bids. Whereas port receipts were moderate, the in terior towns leu far short of equal date last year. The weather South was generally fair but temperatures contmuea very low over important aicw. iu mo ai lernoon tne market- was dull most of the time but ateaauy neia on scattering demand from room shorts and absence of bear pressure. Prices kept within a point or so of Saturday's closing. As an offset to light estimate for to-morrow's Houston receipts New Orleans aWiyals were preaictea to oe large consider ably over, last year's. The export viouicui ucvuea tne total receipts oy a large margin.
