Cotton, the principal staple, is low, it is true, out never before have our cotton planters been less dependent upon that crop, for never before have they raised so much of- their home sup plies, and never before have they contracted, less indebtedness in mak- ing the crop or made it at less cost. Being less in debt, and having more home supplies than usual, they are not necessitated to sell their cotton t A t . . m mm pay aepts or to ouy provisions, and hence they are in a better condi - on to stand a low price on cotton ."Wrthout being seriously hurt. But if the price ' of cotton is low they have raised an extraordinarily large crop of corn, and many of them win have not only corn enough to fatten all the pork they need, with some to spare, but will have corn to sell. On account ot the short crop n the corn-growing States of the est corn will be high, and what 'hey will make on corn will much aore than offset what they may lose n cotton, if it should fall even ower than it is now, which is not likely, Another thing in their favor is that while cotton may be low, there wui be a material rrrlnrtlnn in the r- : ILU'.. ;. .1," .. . , r.

XXV. ; i price of many; of "the things our planters and farmers have to buy, such as clothing, farming and house,: hold utensils, cotton ties, bagging &c, horses and mules, all of ; which will much more than offset the reduc tion in the price of cotton, so that on the whole, instead of . being, in a worse condition with cotton low' they are in a better condition than when it. was higher.7.:-,' ."'.V ; ( f .4 , ;;; This improved condition is not confined to the agricultural industry but . embraces all of the industries upon which our people are depen dent. The cotton manufacturing in dustry. is making notable progress, and new mills' are being constantly added to those already in operation, which are kept busily employed to fill orders, While many, of the 'New England mills are; closed because their operatives refuse to work at the wages offered. In none of he Southern States, as far as we- know, has" there been any reductipn of The iron industry is also 'full of activity and is forging right along to the front, while other ; industries not as important as either of these, but still factors in the prosperity of our section are springing up in all direc tions, not in great numbers, perhaps, but enough to show that the indus trial movement is not confined : to a few things only, nor to any . particu lar section of the South. M There never was a greater disposi tion among the farming people of other States to seek homes in the South, and this movement has as sumed such proportions that pur chases of large bodies of land, for colonies, and smaller bodies for in dividuals are events of almost daily occurrence. And this is but the be ginning of the migratory movement, which is being encouraged by enter prising, progressive citizens, and by the railroad companies whose lines traverse this section. " Nor has there eer been more of a disposition among outside capital ists, European as well as American, to invest money in Southern enter prises." But recently one of the largest cotton manufacturing com panies in -New England decided to abandon the manufacture of coarser fabrics in its home plant and to erect another large plant in the South, and for that purpose has increased its capital stock about $1,000,000, which it proposes to put into the new plant. The agent sent down to survey' the field and select a location seems to have been impressed with the j ad vantages and inducements Birming ham, Ala., offers, and will probably recommend that as the site. The business of oufTlroads s constantly improving, and there is no better index of industrial progress than that. .They are.not only in creasing their business, but they are building and equipping to be pre pared for a much larger "business in the future, and are thus spending sums of money that bespeak un bounded confidence in the future of this section. Thereis no sentiment, or castle-in-the air building in rail road construction or operation. It is all business, cool, calculating, open eyed business. ;" This is the situation and the out look as we and thousands of others see it, observers , not only in the South but in the North, where the outlook for the South is fully recog nized.and freely commented upon by many of the leading papers of that section, which are doing much by their comments to draw" favorable at tention to the South There is but one thing that may mar this prospect, or operate to hin der its realization, and that is the endorsement by- the people of the wild and visionary schemes advocated bv some addle-brained men who imagine that the world has been go mf . .. ing wrong, and that they were born to right it, and to right the Ameri can part of it have suggested schemes as utterly devoid of sense or practi cability as if they had emanated from some insane asylum, in addition to which they show such hostility to capital, and have declaimed so long and loudly against it that capital is exceedingly timid . about getting within reach of them, or into a State nr section where they have or are likely , to have a dominating influ ence. There is not much danger of this in h Smith, where the oeople as a rule are conservative and level headed, but there is a possibility of it. if the conservative, sensible peo ple should from either indifference or over confidence let the visionaries or mercenary or ambitious plotters steal a march on them. To realize this hrior'ht orosoect -confidence in the orood order and stabilitv ; of our Governments . must be maintained, and to d that the confidence-destroyers must be sent to the rear and kept tnere. The Republican income tax was in operation for ten years. When the proposition for its repeal was before Congress, Senators iMorton and Sher man both opposed it and pronounced the income tax the fairest and most equitable system of taxation that had ever been devised. And it is. It is I the only way possible to make wealth I bear its fair Drooortlon ot taxation. - JCOTOR MENTION. . Men who have money to Invest in manufacturing or other industrial enterprises will not put it ina State where there may be doubt as to the stabilitv of the Government brjas to the character of legislation that may be enacted to effect that capital after it has been invested. We know that in those Western States where Popu listic ideas- have prevailed ; where prejudice Has been appealed to and hostility aroused against corpora tions" representing capital j capi tal has not only been deterred from going in bu,t much ' of ;that in vested has been taken out. In South Carolina where the. Tillman adminis tration has been waging war !upbn the railroads, railroad' building was brought to a standstill, and. thus the development of her resources has been materially retarded. In refers ring to the obstacles in .theuway of progress m South Carolina, the Hart-, ford, Conn., Times, sayJU -r South Carolina has a good many cot ton mills and might have a good, many more, but is in a fair W3y to lose toe ad vantages of her position as a manufac turing State, because of Tilltranism. A Massachusetts corporation, with a capi tal of $2,400,000. has been looking for a site for some very large mills in the South, out bas passed South Carolina by on account of its political hoodlum ism and will locate in Georgia, which is re garded as the best State in the South for the investment of Northern capital. - Its climate and its laws are both very favor able to new manufacturing enterprises." When capitalists invest-their money in a btate they want to feel that there will be no danger of its being dis criminated against or taxed to death, or kept in constant dread of hostile legislation. Fortunately, for; North Carolina she has been under . wise, conservative . and progressive man agement, and hence has invited capi tal from other States, and encour aged our people who .have money at command to invest it in manufac turing and other enterprises, the re sult of which has been a steady and a large increase in their number. She now leads all the Southern States in the number of her cotton mills and still the work of I building goes on. Much pro gress has been made in the de velopment of her iron and coal mines, which in the near future will become an important factor in add ing to her prosperity and wealth, while the improvement in her rail way system will facilitate and give an impetus to other development. a! change in State policies, which would necessarily be followed by un certainty and unrest, would destroy the bright prospects now before us. The motto with the anti-Tammaoy Democrats in 'New York City seems to be "anything to beat Tammany," and hence some of their several or ganizations are pooling issues with the Republican party and agreeing to support Republican candidates If they would show the same ag gressiveness and zeal in -attending primary meetings and conventions, and elections they could do their city more service, contribute much more to the purification of politics and do much more to curb the Tam- manu nnwerthat thev rnmnlain of fVhey have been holding aloof from party meetings and con tentions for years, holding little conventions" of their .own, and? have 4a .every election been playing the part of chronic kickers against the regular Democratic or ganization. Now , they propose to burst the Tammany ring byv fusing with the Republicans and helping to open the way for the establishment? of a Republican ring, to mase new York City Republican, and as a log ical consequence make the btate Re publican. The same men who are fiehtmjr lammany in tner city elec tion will be found fighting Tammany in the State elections and in the na tional elections, if the candidates nominated do not suit "them. They are Democrats only when ther ma jority follows the lines marked out by them. it is said that in some sections of Kansas large bodiesNof land are sink ing, and in some places where they have been boring wells the drills have dropped through and been lost. It wouldn't take many more years of PoDulist rule to knock "the bottom clean out of the State. A farmer in Nebraska, breaking up som.e new ground the other, day, plowed up two tusks, one nve ai the other about three feet long. But the climate of Nebraska has changed much that the tropical animals that wear that kind bf teeth don't browse there any more. It is said that the KepuDiican narfv managers in jncw xor are circulating great numbers of APtA. -J . . o documents. Of course they are, Thef'Apa is simply an -annex of the Republican party. - V : : ff' THE WIMBERLY MURDER. Geo. Mills, the Murderer, Sentenced to be flABged November 30th.

The ,New Orleans Picayune, an ex-l cellent authority on cotton, says m refer ence to the recent decline in cotton; - "It is useless to speculate as to the rea sons for the decline, it is not based upon reason at all, but it is due solely to the industrious circulation in Europe of extremely large crop estimates, As there is already a good supply of cotton in Eu rope, and as trade recently has not been over brisk:, foreign buyers have been frightened easily by the promise of an excessively large yield and keep out of the . market. This absence of foreign buyers, supplemented by the lack of out side speculation, bas forced prices down. 'The promoters ol big crop ideas point to the daily receipts as confirming their ideas. This is misleading, as the receipts do not indicate a 9.000,000 bale crop, or a crop anything near that fig ure. The movement to date is actually several hundred thousand bales short of what it was in the 9,000.000-bale Crop year. I it the yield ot lint per acre in the big-crop year be considered and applied to the Chronicle's 'estimate of acreage, a crop of 9.000.000 bales will not be indi cated.! There is really no substantial ground for expecting a 9,000.000-bale crop, and if the yield actually reaches 8 500,000 bales we shall be surprised." Ellison & Co., of Liverpool, probably the best known cotton firm in the world, says: ' 'As to prices, much will depend upon the state of business in the great centres of industry throughout the world. Uni versal cheerfulness would raise prices Jd. to $d. (one cent to one and a-half cents from tne present low level, alto gether aside from the crop question; but with a chronic condition of depression thire would be -constantly dragging markets, with occasional insignificant fluctuations, unless some disaster hap pened to the cotton crop. - Our belief is that the crop will prove to be much smaller than the current estimates." J A Fetohin' Appeal, The loyalty of the Asheville Citizen to its section and people is admirable; and there is no limit to its efforts to secure the lion's share of the immigrants com ing to North Carolina. The following is its latest appeal; and, though covert, will no doubt prove a winner . "When it comes to big chmquepin trees Buncombe county is more than able to answer 'present.' On the lands of C. H. Shope, in Swannanoa town ship, is one of these trees that has a girth of six feet, a heiett of 85 or 80 feet, while the limbs extend so feet in- eacn direction from the trunk. W. L. Shope went out from Asheville Sunday and visited the tree, from which his father, D. V. Shope, who is now 65 years old, gathered nuts when a boy. The tree never fails and this year yielded a bushel." . Cotton Export.
