Yesterday we published an artiole showing how the South wu forging ahead in point of population as com pared with other sections, and herein - we present some figures, for whioh we are indebted to the Baltimore Manufacturers Record, showing how she is forging ahead as a manufac turing section. Last week's issue publishes an elaborate analysis of the census figures on the industrial development in the South, from which we quote the following: "The South has become a manufac turer on a billion-dollar scale indeed, it were better to say on a billlon-and-a-half-dollar scale, for the value of the products of its factories in 1900. ac cording to preliminary figures of the twelfth census, was $1,466,669,495, which was greater by nearly $450, 000 000 than the value of the products of manufactures in the United States in 1850. The total for 1900 shows an increase of $549,440,468 over the total of 1890 in the value of products, and of $494,847,287 in the amount of cap ital invested, which in 1900 amounted to $1,153,670,097, against $658,795,860 in 1890. The growth in the value of .products in the ten years is shown in the folio wins: table: value or rroaucia. 1890. 1900, -Alabama . .. $51,226,605 Arkansas... 22,559 179 Dis.Colum'a 88.971,419 Florida..... 18.222,890 Georgia. . . . 8,917.020 Kentucky.. 126,719,857 Louisiana.. 57,806,713 Maryland... 171,842.593 Mississippi. 18,705,834 N.

"The anal j sis snows that the aver age rate of capital in tne sown auring the ten vears was 75 1 per cent., and tbat this rate was exceeded in eight States, with Louisiana leading with 225.3 Der cent Louisiana led also in the actual increase of capital $78. 330,173, though Maryland led in the amount of capital invested in xvw. $163,422,260. The average rate of in crease in the value of products in the South was 59 9, which was exceeded in nine States, North Carolina leading with 135 per cent, and Maryland 1e d ing in actual increase with $70,910,397." These are interesting figures, but their full significance may not be fully understood by those who are not familiar with the conditions that have prevailed in the South for much of the time since the war and the obstacles against which our ."captains of industry' to use one of President Roosevelt's phrases, had to contend. The South had been so largely an agricultural sec tion that the impression was, and quite naturally, that Southern men had little inclination to or ability for industrial enterprises of a manu facturing kind which presupposed more or less experience. That impression was so strong that when the South began to show a disposition to enter actively on the manufacture of cotton goods, it was nredicted that the effort would be a c " failure because Southern men had little experience in that business, had no skilled labor and the most they could hope to do would be to manufacture the coarser lines of goods the manufacturer of which it was not difficult to master. When Southern men embarked in iron itiiI ntoal-tnalrinor t.Tio lama might have been predicted with even more appearance of plausibili ty, for while some Southern men did have some experience in the manufacture of cotton they had literally none in the manufacture of iron and steel. They had all these things to learn and had not only to learn them themselves bnt had to teach others. But in addition to this was the limited capital in this section and the consequent difficulty of raising money to invest in new enterprises, the success of which remain ed to be demonstrated. These new enterprises had to be established to enter the field with others of a similar character in other sections which had been long established, were under skil ful and experienced management, and had ample capital at their com mand, with unlimited credit if it be came necessary to use that. This is especially true of the cotton man ufacturing and of the iron and steel industries. It would be easier now to raise a million dollars to invest in either of these industries than it was to raise $100,000 fifteen or even ten years . ago. Success commands confidence and establishes credit. Capital instead of ' having to be sought seeks the successful field. There is one gratifying feature in the figures given above which shows that while seme of the Southern States hava forged ahead rapidly the others have made fair progress, which would have justified much more than has been said about them. But there are some of them which possess exceptional advantages as manufacturing States. The range of States extending from Virginia to Alabama on the slope of the mountains have advantages as man ufacturing States not excelled, if equalled, in the world. They con tain in workable quantities and "" WUVU1(MIJ U bUD caw materials of commercial value tim ber, iron, copper, coal, textile fibers, everything necessary for great and diversified industries, and with this a f ertile soil capable of rapport. ing in comfort many mUUofii of in habitants, and in aMUtoa to all this, never faUifig wHf powert abundant in number aad adequate to all the dtaaadt itat wj w bo made upon them. Give the South the tame avAat--agei that industrial eatenvrii ta the North hat in being able to command large capital at moderate and sometime almost nominal rates or interest and she would forge to the front with a rapidity that might astonish people who have not kept a close eye on her industrial prog ress or understand what she had to contend against in accomplishing what she has. Business has been so systematise in the North that every manufact uring business of any importance fs run on the trust plan, .trusts repre senting many millions of dollars, with" credit in proportion. We have nothing of that kind in the South. Whether these trusts may be enduring or not, or whether they maybe successful in the long run, there is no doubt that they give the section in which they are a tempor ary advantage over other sections, where business is conducted by in dividual enterprise or by companies with limited capital. This is espec ially true in such enterprises as the manufacture of iron and steel where large capital is essential to economi cal work and profitable output. But the trend of capital is this way, for it will come in when the raw materials can be most easily reached and cheaply put down at the manufacturing plant. The next ten years will witness much of that and the onward progress of the South's manufacturing industries. . IHTEBSST IV EDUCATI0H. Governor Aycock is taking a great deal of interest in popular education, but not any more than he should, or any more than any citizen who looks to the future prosperity of his State and welfare of its people should take. Every State which is wise and .would build well for the fa ture should put the means of at least a rudimentary education within the reach of all of its sons and daugh ters. Under present and prospective conditions this applies to North Car olina with more force than ever, for by law, with the adoption of the constitutional amendment, not only the illiterate negro is disfranchised bnt the illiterate white man will be disfranchised after 1908, so that the boys now growing up who will come of age by that time must learn to read and write before they can be come entitled to the franchise. From all the accounts we have the negroes are snowing much, and a commendable, interest in this mat' ter, and are very active in preparing themselves to meet the constitu tional requirement as to reading and writing. This narrows the question down to whether the white people will be lukewarm and indifferent while the negroes are active in the efforts to maintain their position as a polit ical factor in the State. There are about forty thousand of them who can vote, and with those who will learn to read and write before 1908 they will fond a mighty factor, will hold the balance of power and being better informed than heretofore will be apt to insist on having more to say about party management and party policies. Thus, even viewed from a political standpoint only, it is essential that effort should be made to qualify every white boy for franchise. But there are other considerations outside of politics which should inspire an interest and stimulate efforts in this . direction. Begard for the youth of the State, to en able them to take their part in the battle of life and be better able to take care of themselves should do it, and so should regard for the prosperity of the State, for thedu- cated brain is such a help to the hand that the man possessing both becomes three times the wealth pro ducer that the hand worker alone does. It is a duty the State owes, not only to itself but to its children to give them at least a rudimentary education, on which they may be afterwards able to build themselves. Sitka, the capital of Alaska, is pretty far North, but the Secretary of the Alaska Geographical Society informs us that the mercury has never been known to reach zero in that town. He adds that there is not a single State in the Union which shows as low a maximum summer temperature nor one which has not registered lower winter minimuns. It seems from this to possess the combined qualifications for a summer and winter resort. The farmers up in Surry county are looking for an early spring, be cause they say severe winters are always followed by early springs.' They are corroborated by the New Haven (Conn.) Palladium, which has come to the same conclusion, based upon the performances of the wild geese, birds, etc Well, if they have an early spring up there the Surry people will be apt to come in for some of it.

TEZ LOGIC 07 THE SITUATION iiast year was reported to be rather a bad year, comparatively, for Southern cotton mills and yet they consumed 100,000 more bales than they did the preceding year. With the rate of gain as compared with the Northern mills they win toon catoh up with and lead them in the number of bales consumed. In speaking of the report of Secre tary Hester, the Baltimore Sun re marks as follows: "The consumption of cotton in Southern cotton mills begins to bear a large proportion to the total consumed In the United States and Canada. Mr. Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, reported, for example, a taking by Southern mills in 1901, up to Df omber 13. of 601,196 bales, as against 828,751 bales taken by North ern and Canadian spinners.! The gain over the preceding year in Southern takings was over 100.000 bales. This is as it should be. Cotton can be best manufactured where it is grown, and at the largest profit. In periods of high prices badly located mills mills far from the cotton fields can con tinue to run but in hard times they will be frozen out by inability to com pete with mills down South. Thus, little by little, the logic of the situa tion will compel the transference of the cotton industry to the South." The logic of the situation is that the cotton manufacturing industry must ultimately center in the South not simply to be near the base of supplies, but that the manufactur ers may avail themselves of the su perior advantages the South offers to that industry. This will not be in a few years nor in a decade, be cause there is too much money al ready invested in manufacturing plants in other manufacturing cen ters, and those plants will be kept running as long as there is any margin of profit on their output. But the day will come when, through competition, the margin will become so small that a change of base will be necessary and they will have to get near the cotton fields or get ont of business. Planting pecan treeB has become a craze in Georgia. A correspondent of the New York Tribune says at the rate at which planting is now progressing there will be within the decade more pecan trees than peach trees in that State. CURRENT COMMENT.

Philadel phia Record Dem. It would puzzle a Philadel phia lawyer to say what the Chicago Board of Trade had to do with the Schley-Sampson controversy, yet that body resolved at great length upon the subject. Observers, how ever, will accept the incident as showing that the sentiment for Schley is so! feverish that even a sedate board of trade is carried off its feet.by it. Mobile Register, Dem. The "ladronea" and "ban dits" keep coming in the Philip pines.

Senator Hoar is probably right in the suggestion that the country has not been frankly and correctly informed about the con ditions in the islands. Charleston News and Courier, Dem. Only two representatives from the Southern States voted for the admission of ex-Confederates to the National Homes. The scandal of the pension lists is becoming too heavy to be carried much longer. and the mouths of Democrats should not be stopped to the injury of the people as a whole. A pension to the worthy and needy soldier is a debt the nation is glad to pay, but a pension list ; padded for political purposes is a shame that deserves severest probation.

The only way to cure the headache is to cure the diseases which cause it. ! The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription has been the means of curing thousands of women of headache, back ache, female weakness and other forms of disease peculiar to women. It estab lishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures bearing-down pains. I think If It were not for your ' Favorite Pre scription' I would have been in my grave," writes Mrs. Edwin H. Gardner, of Egypt, Ply mouth Co., Mass., Box 14. I had pain all over me, and such a dragging' feeling it seemed I could not do my house work. I had to sit down to wash the dishes, even. In the year 1897 1 was so sick I did not care to live and prayed many times that God would take me. One day I thought I would write to Dr. Pierce. In a few days I received an answer. I decided to try his medicine, and to-day I am a well woman. I have no headache, no pain at all, I used always to have headaches previous to the monthly period, and such pain that I would roll on the floor in agony. This sometimes would occur every two weeks, and I would be very weak afterward. I was in pain all over. My feet would slip from under me when I would try to go across the room, and I could not walk any distance with out being in pain. I took three bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and three of 'Golden Medical Discovery ' and three vials of Doctor Pierce's Pellets, and was completely cured." Dr. Pierce's Pellets stimulate the liver. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. Bmithfield Herald: Mr. J. B. Smith, of Meadow township, last year had 6M acres in tobacco, from which he realized $1,030.

The cotton market opened steady with prices four to seven points higher on fairly active demand from local shorts and com mission houses. After the call Wall street and the South bouebt along conservative lines and Europe picked up scattering amounts of the near months. Whereas nearly every thing worked against the market, to-day's news was of strong bullish average. Receipts at the ports were much small er than the average of late and only about 5,000 in excess of the same day last year. The Liverpool cables were about two points on the "good," while private advices stoutly maintained that trade conditions in Manchester were the best known. New Englaud mill reports were quite encouraging, though spinners were said to be carrying comparatively light sup plies of raw material. The pre dictions for next week's port receipts pointed to 175,000 bales cr less, with n, ' in sight" but little, if any, in excess of last year. As against 8 14 last night. May in the local ring opened at 8 12, advanced to 8.20 and then eased off a trifle later, only to again stiffen up on moderate general buying . The South and Wall street continued to buy on every slight reaction, room operators settled up short accounts and went long over Sunday. The market closed steady with prices two to three points bigner. iNavw York, Jan. 18. Cotton quiet at o o-ioc; net receipts 843 bales; gross 3,5&6 oaies: stocx 131,566 bales.
