' THE SOUTH HAMPERED. When the obstacles against which the South has had to contend are considered the progress which it has made in industrial develbpement within the past twenty years is mar vellous. While in some respects it resembles other sections it differs in some from other sections, and whilst it may be to its advantage to differ in some, it is also to its disadvantage to differ in others. As far as indus trial developement goes it is to its disadvantage that it is so sparsely populated and that some of the sec tions which naturally present the greatest advantages for industrial en terprises are among the most sparse ly settled sections. Convenient and cheap transportation is one of the requisites to success in industrial op erations in these days of business ri valry and keen competition. Popu lation and production are necessary to sustain systems of transportation of whatever character they may be. This is one of the obstacles against which the South has had to contend want of sufficient transportation an obstacle which is not encoun tered to the same extent in any other section of the country. The reason of th rapid develop ment of the West was its many lines of railway, which penetrated the set tled sections and helped to people the unsettled. The Middle and East ern States are also densely populated compared with this section. They have good i transportation facilities, and consequently it is much easier for them to successfully establish such industries as they have the re sources for, because they have not only the population and the rail roads but money in abundance, the lack of which the South has felt and still feels even more than it does the lack of transportation. If we want to build a railroad or. engage in any other enterprise that requires a large amount or money we nave to go North to negotiate a loan, and that's the way the most our railroads that have been constructed since the war have been built. One of the stereotyped phrases which we hear repeated every day is "the South needs capital," which is as true as it is old.- If the South had capital, all that could be judi cially used in the development of its resources, or the building Up of "its . industries, and in the construction of highways for the transportation of its products, this section would be bumming with activity and its indus tries would be doubled or trebled within the next ten years. How can that capital be secured ? This is the problem. There are but three ways; one by interesting capi talists of other sections in the in- ' dustrial potentialities of this sec tion. This has been done to some ex tent and will be done still more in . the future. This has helped some in t the past and will help in the future. J Another is by a large increase of the volume of currency by the coinage of silver. There is such a decided opposition to this by an element, which is potent enough to make its power felt that there is little pros pect of deriving any benefit In that way. Another is in the establish ment of State banks, which would enable our people to deal upon their own credit and to utilize property which they have as . a basis of currency-to meet the demands of the times. There is but one thing to prevent this, and that is the prohi bitory tax on the circulation of State banks of issue. If this tax were re pealed there isn't a State in the South which would not have banks enough to supply all the money for which there might be a demand, in connection with the national banks and the money issued by the Gov ernment. Thus millions upon mil lions of dollars worth of property could be utilized as basis for bank-: ing capital, which is now practically useless for such a purpose. In that event, if this prohibitory tax were removed and the State banks that would be established were in operatidn there would no longer be a dearth of money in this section and thousands of industries j would spring into existence. Capital would flow in from other sections to be in vested in these banks, and as it would be to their interest to en courage legitimate enterpises, that their might be more use for their money they would encourage them and help them along, our towns and cities would improve and industrial establishments be multiplied, there would be work for hands that want work, new railroads would be built,; short lines as -feeders to longer lines and long . lines ,i where they might be needed. Our water4 powers would be utilized more than they are and factories built to give employment to people of sections where now there are no factories, the streets of our cities and our country roads would be improved, our farms improved, for our farmers could then borrow the money they might find use for, and withal our railroads would have such increased business that capitalists would be encouraged to invest more money in the building of railroads, thus developing more country and increasing itsvprodm tive capacity. These are some of the j results which would follow the increase of capital which would come from the establishment of State banks, which is now prevented by this unjust and arbitrary State bank tax. The day it is wiped out will be the dawning of a new day of prosperity for the South. ' !

Its Product and Uses Prejudice Against It in this Country Three American Cities Take Nearly One-half the Yield. . It is about forty years since cotton seed oil first appeared upon the com mercial markets. After several partial successes, says the New York Journal of Commerce, its manufacture bad fairly started when the war materially inter rupted its development. Just after the war, however, the production increased very rapidly, until now it reaches consid erably over a million barrels per year. In 1892 there -were crushed some 1,250,- 000 tons of cotton seed, from which were obtained about 1,000,000 barrels of oil. It is interesting to note the channels oi consumption lor tne large ana in creasing industry. It is estimated that one-half of it is used for making lard At Chicago, 300.000 barrels were used, and at St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha about 300.000. There are 200,000 to 300,000 barrels exported to Rotterdam for use in butter, 50.000 to 100,000 barrels are used by soap makers for toilet soaps, and 20.000 barrels go to the coast of Maine to pack sardines in. Considerable quantities are aiso exported to Marseilles, Trieste and many points on the Mediterranean coast lor mixing with olive oil, There is a strong prejudice against cotton-seed oil for food purposes in this R country, but it is possible that in time vims may oe overcome. Already in cer tain sections it is growing in favor, no- uceaoiy in lexasana the New England C . . i fci i jias, wucrc me on in its pure state is used for cooking, and 4s recommended by physicians as a remedy for indiges tion, mere is no doubt but that there is a general growing demand for the on lor table use and culinarv nurnnws Its Introduction for these uses is only of recent aate. u nas undoubtedly come to stay, and the time may not be far dis tant when it will equal, if not excel, its competitors in popularity. It is already extensively used in paints possessing in a degree the properties of linseed oil. It is a chemical possibility to obtain from cotton seed oil linseed oil; but as yet no practical method has peen aevisea. to the paint and varnish manufacturers this is a very important possibility, and one to the solution of wnicn tney are looking forward. As an auuiiciaui in uuve on, ioc wnicn verv large quantities are used it is difficult to detect, owing to a special refining pro cess it undergoes which conceals its presence. )r Death of NLxa.

The property ot the New Hanover Transit ComDanv consisting of the hotel and other real estate at . Carolina Beach, the railway connecting the beach with the river, the locomotive and cars, wharf, etc., and the franchise ot the com pany was put ,'-up 'for sale by auction at the Court House Dy Col. Jno. D. Taylor, commissioner, at 11 o clock yesterday. I here was a good attendance at tbe sale, but only one bid was made, and that w&s by Mr. Junius Davis, receiver of the Bank of New Hanover, to protect the interests of the bank. His bid was $7,500. At 12 o'clock noon, tbe steamboats Wilmington and Clarence, property of the Wilmington and Southport Steam boat Company, were sold by auction by Mr. Sol. C. Weill, commissioner, at the foot of Market street. The steamer Wilmington was first put up and Mr. Junius Davis, as receiver of the Bank of New Hanover, started the sale with a bid of $9,000. Capt. Jno. W. Harper, of this city, and Mr. Gibson, of Savannah, Ga., then entered the lists, and after some spirited bidding the Wilmington was knocked down by the auctioneer to Capt. Harper at his final bid of 14.000. The result of the sale was received by the spectators with a hearty cheer. - The steamboat Clarence was then put up, and Mr. Davis, for the bank, put in a bid for $3,500. No other bid was made. and the sale was closed. POSTAL FORGERIES. Perpetrated by a Negro Postmaster and His White Accomplice Many Fraudu lent Money Orders and Postal Notes Issued. There is great commotion in postal circles just now over the forgeries and frauds perpetrated by the negro Henry C. Tindal, late postmaster at Packsville, S. C, and his white accomplice. Tindal was arrested for robbing and burning the postoffice there, and em bezzlement of money orders and postal funds and forgery of money orders and postal notes, and was committed to jail at Sumter. S. C, in default of $1,000 bond. The Charleston News and Courier says the number of the first money order issued by J. M. Bradham, the new post master at Packsville, was 101, and the number of the first postal note issued by him was 201. All money orders and postal notes from Packsville bearing lower numbers than these, and having the name of J. M. Bradham written thereon, are forgeries. Packsville money orders from No. 75 to 100 and postal notes from No. 126 to 200 are missing. The negro is already in lau at Sumter. James H. Branson, alias Julius Brunson, is Tindal s accomplice. He has passed some of the money orders already, and the department therefore thinks he has all that are missing. Brunson "run with" the negro constantly and it is believed that be, 'bearing oi l mdars arrest, is doing his best to keep out of the way. A man answering to the description ot tsrunson tried at Florence to pass orde"No. 84 from fjPacksville, payable to John A. Barnes, and supposed to have been sent by John R. McCall. This order was for $66.80, and was a palpable forgery. . livery ertort is being made to appre hend Brunson, and, considering the lib eral rewards generally given by the Gov ernment in such cases, it is probable that United states Commissioner 5. M. Nor- ris, of Sumter, or Inspector F. D. Peer, in Charleston, will soon have informa tion that be has been captured. The Tariff Association Jumna ion Savan nah's Fire Department. The Southwestern Tariff Association has declared war on Savannah's fire de partment. The Association has issued its ultimatum that the department must be reorganized ana nas decreed a gen eral increase in rates, to take effect at once and continue in effect until the de partment demonstrates its efficiency to the satisfaction of the Tariff Association, This decree is the result of a recent disas trous fire in that city and was not unex pectedly the insurance people. Kiver and Harbor Appropriations. The Washington cbrrespondent of -the Charlotte Observer says It is understood that North Carolina will get less than $200,000 in the House draft of the River and Harbor bill, $180, 000 to go to-the Cape Fear. Last year Congress appropriated $215,000 for that river alone. Lockwbod's Follv will not be in the bill. Small appropriations only will be made for the Tar and Pamlico. Few other items will appear. Consider ing what other streams will get the Cape Fear will fare very well.. The Senate will add about $40,000 or $50,000 to that river. From Columbus County. Sheriff McPhaull, of Columbus county, arrived here yesterday from Whiteville with nine prisoners, tried, convicted and sentenced to the State penitentiary at the recent term of the Superior Court for Columbus.

A MORPHINE ANTIDOTE, Successful Experiments With 'Pennan ganate of Potash as Morphine Poisoning. an ' Antidote for Dr. William Moor, a New York phy sician, has discovered that the perman ganate of potash is a certain antidote for morphine poisoning, and that if admin istered in any reasonable time, it will counteract the effects of any opium salts. A few days ago he demonstrated his dis covery before the members of the West Side German Clinic, by experimenting on himself. In spite of the remonstrances of some of the physicians present, few of whom believed ia his discovery, and some of whom left the room rather than see him -commit suicide," he swallowed three grains of morphine, a certainly fa tal dose in bis case, as he is especially sensitive to the action of narcotics, and afterwards swallowed a dose of his new found antidote. No evil results followed at all, and Dr. Moor felt as well and acted as bright as though he had not taken the-morphine. The experiment was so bold, and the results so demon strative that the physicans present were at once surprised and delighted. The new antidote has long been known as a powerful destroyer of organic matter. but Dr. Moor discovered that it had a great affinity for morphine salts, ana will decompose it several hundred times quicker than it will an equal quantity , of albumen. He found that when mor phine was mixed with other things, as would be the case in the stomach after it had been swallowed, the permanganate will select and destroy the poison before affecting any of the other components of the mass. Dr. Moor says that where other preparations of opium besides sul phate of morphia has been taken, tbe antidote will act more quickly and effica ciously on being acidulated with one part id five of vinegar. Further and later experiments on the same line with rabbits were successful and go still further to strengthen the be lief that Dr. Moor has teally discovered a remedy of great value to humanity. , EIGHT SERIES NOW READY.

A correspondent of the Savannah JVews giveshe following which is in teresting to turpentine producers "every where: Cordele, Ga., Feb. 28. The Cordele Turpentine operators association held its regular monthly meeting at the Sttwanee bouse to-day. The Cordele association is stronger than ever, and its members are more determined than ever that the organization shall take per manent form, and that finally nearly every operator in beorgia will be a mem ber. At tbe meeting to-day resolutions were passed strongly urging all opera tors to abandon old boxes as much as possible this year. The resolutions as seit that it costs over $100 more to make a third year crop than the operator re ceives from his products. The following is I the estimated cost of a third-year crop: Rent $25. raking and burning $15, chipping $147, dipping $25, scraping $25, hauling $35. stulingl$35, wooding 50, spirit barrels, glue and batting $50, rosin barrels $31, tools $5, incidentals $20. in terest .on investment $21.00; total, $484.60. The receipts are as follows : Eighty barrels rosin $80, 25 barrels spirits $300: total, $380. it costs about $20 to make a barrel of spirits, which, at last season s prices, will bring about $12. i turpentine men say they are com pelled to quit working old boxes to stop the heavy losses which they have been sustaining.

The light- house board gives notice that, on about , March 16th,. 1894, the schooner Drift now moored as a light vessel off the site of the former Wolf Trap light house, Chesapeake Bay, Va will be removed and replaced by light vessel No. 41, which will show two fixed white reflector lights, one at each mast head. The Department of State has received the first official information of the oper ations of tbe British Naval forces at Bluefields, near the mouth of the Nica ragua Canal. It came in the shape of a dispatch from United. States Minister Baker at Managua. He says that the United States Consul at San Juan Del Norte, Mr. Braida, telegraphs him that soldiers from the British warship Cleo patra have been landed at Bluefields, and strongly urges that the United States Naval vessel be sent there at once, There is no explanation in the Minis ter s despatch ot tbe reason tor tbe land ing of British forces. The preceding re ports of Consul Braida show that when the Nicaraguan Government forces oc cupied Bluefields, the reigning Mosquito chief appealed to the British Consul at ban Juan Del Norte lor protection, and tbe question of interest at this stage of affairs is whether the British troops have been landed to afford that protec tion to the Mosquitos or whether the landing was made to protect the British citizens only. . The resolution of inqniry concerning the British at Bluefield, which was In troduced in the Senate by Senator Mor gan to day, was tbe result of the discus sion of the subiect by the senate foreign Relations Committee at its meeting this morning, mere is an apprenension in the minds of Senators that the English Government is making an effort to ob tain a footing on the eastern coast of tbe Isthmus, in violation of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty, -and the action of the committee is directed to the end of securing whatever information the State Department may have upon the suoject. Senator Morgan is especially jealous of any movement on the part of a foreign Government which might effect tbe Nicaragua Canal, and probably nothing could happen to give him greater con cern than for England to secure a foot hold in that section. Senator Morgan said in reply to a question as to the purpose of the resolu tion that be had no iniormauon upon the subject except such as he had ob tained from the newspapers in which he had seen a statement that the British were at Bluefields for the purpose of in terfering with the sovereignty of Micara gua over the Mosquito coast. "Do you suppose, was asked, "that the fact that the Kearsarge was headed in tbat direction had any significance?" "What was she going tbere for? was his response. "Of course," he added, "I don't know that such was the case, but it looks like it." The Democratic members of the Fi nance Committee repaired to the com mittee room as soon as tbe skirmish over the Bland bill was ended and ap plied themselves to the consideration of tbe Tariff bill with redoubled energv. Mr. Voorhees left at S o'clock, but Messrs. Vest, Jones. McPherson and Harriss remained and ordered their din ner sent to the committee room.it being their intention to remain in session to-night so long as might be come necessary to complete tbe bill ' and send it to the print ing office. At the same time orders were sent to the Government Printing Office to have a force of men on band ready to take tbe copy as soon as it was sent and have the bill printed in time to lay before the committee at eleven o'clock to-morrow morning. Hav ing laid all plans ' for ' the final stages of the bill, the committee renewed their attack upon the disputed schedules. One of the members, who was seen for a moment, intimated tbat the bill would, he thought, when it reached the public, be found to contain some very great sur prises. Heavy cuts have been made in many of the schedules of the Wilson bill, and, if the policy of the committee is carried out as indicated, the amount of revenue yielded by the Senate bill will be less based upon present importa tions, and omitting tbe duty on sugar, than that figured upon by the Commit tee on Ways and Means in the House, It is ! uneerstood that this after noon some attention was given to the metal schedule in the belief that iron ore bas been given a duty, this schedule would have to be modified; but it is said that this was abandoned, the committee finding that had they given a duty of even so much as 50 cents a ton, a revis ion of tbe metal schedule would not be necessary Bagley Been shopping?
