Napoleon once pointed ont on a map where some of the great battles of the future would be fought. "With a soldier's eye he detected ,the atrateo-tc advantages, knew that others would do it, and the bfttles he predicted were fought at those places. When the present site of the city of Atlanta was a cross roads station for the old stage lines before 'the days of railroads a traveller who stopped there for dinner one day predicted that the future would see a great city there. And to an .bservant traveller passing from 4 North to South In sight of the Blue Ridge, having some idea of the iron nad timber resources, of the water powers and of the cotton fields below might safely have predicted, as some did, that the Piedmant sectim of the South would in time become the center of the iron and cotton man a factoring Industries of this country, and that means eventually of the world. Edward Atkinson, of Bos too, Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, and Wm. D. Kelley, deceased, of Philadelphia, are all on record with these predictions made some twenty five years ago, when very few South ern people ventured to hopejor so much, although there were; many Southern men who hid an abiding faith in the industrial possibilities of their section. There is nothing more inevitable la the laws of trade thin that the manufacturer must, other things be ing eqaa1, when confronted by sharp competition, get close to his base of applies to hold his grip. New Eng laid was once a large minufac urer of Iron, but she had to abandon the field and let that industry go to Pennsylvania when the Pennsyl vamans with their abundance of iron ores In clo3e proximity to their iuturacite veins discovered how to jtilise anthracite as fuel in the melting furnaces. Then New Eng land could no longer compete with Pennsylvania and abandoned the ,4vfort. ' ! At one time New England mo nopolized the cotton manufacturing industry of this country, because she bad no competitor within our bor , jars. With slavery existing, the ioath, although she bad some cotton manufactories, making plain and coarse goods, was content with the 9 profit made out of growing cotton and selling it to New England and to old Eagland. Bat with the aboli tion of slavery there came a revolu tion, and the agricultural South by force of that revolution became a manufacturing South, beginning in a small way and increasing with a rap idity that borders on the marvellous. As New England found herself con wanted by competion from Pennsyl vania in the manufacture of iron, aid succumbed to it, so now she is being confronted by competition in cotton manufacturing from the South, to which she must eventually succumb, l nis may not oe in one - or two or three decades, but it is des ' c ttaed to be and will be. They have been born who will see it. The center of population (and population in this country means en terprise and wealth) is steadily mov ing Westward and Southward, and while that does not now necessarily mean a decrease of population, en terprise and wealth in the East, that Is what it will eventually mean, for the more energetic and enterprising of the population Will seek the cen ters of activity where there is the best prospect of remuneration for - their efforts and investments. Ia years past the trend of this Tnvement his bsea from East to West, and the places of the movers have been filled by immigration from Canada ana Europe, without which mere would have been a decrease of population in a large jportion of that 4 section. Henceforth the tread will not be Westward but Southward, and t ie open area of the South will be occupied as the open area of the West was. It follows, as a matter of course, that with the increase of population ia the South there will be an increase o' ndustries, and that with the de crease in the number of more active and enterprising men in the East there will also be a decrease in the number and magnitude of the Indus tries lor which it jyas orice noted Tals is going on now, although not to an extent to attract general at tention, but it will goon to a greater extent as the years roll on. Far seeing New Eig!anders, who with the lights of the past few dec ades before them, look into the fu ture, see this and are exercising their wits to devise some way to avoid it or retard the coming of the day they oread. Some rezard the cotton man ufacturing industry with them as doomed unless something be done to check the natural course of events, and one of .the plans they have hit upon, which thus far has assumed onlv the shape of a suggestion, is na tional legislation to regulate the hours of labo-, the manifest purpose of which is to deprive the Southern manufacturers of the extra advan tage they have in the larger number of working hours in the year com pared with the New Eo gland mills, -whose State laws limit the hours in a day's labor. This comes, as we have remarked, simply as a sugges tion now, but will later take more assertive form and be pushed In Congress, and have all the force of the manfactu ring power of the States affected by labor laws behind it. As it is regarded as a matter of self nrH!orva(inn. it mav be taken tor granted that it will be followed up with energy and determination. They will summon to their aid the labor organizations, and in the meantime tbey will encourage the formation of labor organization in the South, and thus with the aid of the institutions that helped to cripple them try to cripple the South. Possibly they may succeed In their efforts to secure such legislation, but they will not succeed in the effort to cripple the South, for she has too many advantages to suffer very ma terially, even if she got fewer hours of labor from the employes in her cotton mills and in other industries, for the scheme will embrace other manufacturing industries besides that of cotton manufacturing. The iron manufacturer will, if he does not now, before many years feel the force of Southern competition, and he, too, will be seeking protection fram the cheaper labor of the South as he has been seeking protection from the cheaper "pauper labor of Europe." But all this will not pre vent the South from reaching her destiny as the iron and cotton man ufacturing center of this country. MINOR MENTION Gen. Weyler covered the whole contention for Spain in the fight against Cuba, when speaking Tues day ,at Barcelona, on the proposed autonomy for Cuba, he said: "Au tonomy for Cuba would be most un fortunate for oar national industry. fne riches of Cuba belong to Spain, aad autonomy means the disappear ance of Spaaish workmen and com p'ete misery throughout the island." fne riches of Cuba belong to Spain." That covers the whole case as far as Spain is concerned. Cuba is Spain's orange, to bs squeezed and sucked, and that's all the use that Spain has for Cuba. This is a candid confes sion, and this is the principle upon which Weyler bai acted. It might do talk to Spaniards, many of whom doubtless agree with Weyler, but it will not do to talk to any other, civi lized nation on the earth. His first thought is for Spain, and for Span ish workmen, who if autonomy were granted, would disappear from Cuba. Subordinate to these is the "misery throughout the isJand," which would be a small matter to him compared with the loss of those "riches." As far as misery is concerned Weyler's coarse throughout his whole administration shows that bis hear t is too tough to be shocked by that, as the many thousands of "con centrated" starved, starving and dis ease stricken attest. But in his can dor Weyler stated a fact which is in keeping with the historic course of Spain in the treatment of her colo nies. She regarded them all as "riches" belonging to her, squeezed them for the last ducat she could get out of them, and that is why out of all her vast possessions on this hemisphere all she has left is Cuba aad Porto Rico, a magnificent domain stretching from the North Pacific to Cape Horn, embracing California and Mexico with Texas, Central America and nearly all of South America, were wrested from her on account of her squeezing and oppressive methods by the people of the respective colonies, who rose against the oppressor and fought for relief and liberty, just as the Cubans are doing now. Every reason they had to justify their up rising Cuba has, and Weyler candidly confessed it when he declared that the "riches of Cuba belong to Spain." w The wealth of North Carolina as a mineral State is not known and prob ably never will be fully known, al though new discoveries are being constantly made Among the latest is a graphite find, concerning which we clip the following from the Ra leigh Press- Visitor : 'A fine graphite mine has been dis covered in McDowell county, which con tains 10 000.000 tons easily accessible. Twenty million pounds of graphite it nsed in the United States annually, over 19 000,000 being imported. A company will so" i develop it. The mine it within about five miles of the Western North Carolina Railroad. ! "A Pniladelpbia gentlemen has been shown tome specimens ot graphite by the Libir Commissioner aad hat be come deeply interested. It is probable to it tome Philadelphia capitalitts will soon develop this industry in Wettern North Carolina on a large scale.' There may be some exaggeration as to the quantity of graphite in this find but there is doubtless enough act to justify the interest that seems to be taken in it. This is not the only discovery of graphite that has been made in this State, for we have seen what appeared to us to be fine specimens found in Rockingham county, but we have never heard of any efforts being made to explore the deposits or to utilize the graphite or to test its value. It is there all the same and possibly prospecting might develop the fact that It is there in workable and paying quantity, and not much f uither from tie Southern Railroad than this McDowell find if from the Wes ern Railroad. Thia U Thankselvlne" day. Ori ginally it was a day of humiliation and prayer, but in course of time it became a day of thanksgiving, bnt is now really more a day of feasting and frolicking than of thanksgiving. With the majority of the people who observe it the original inspiration has been lost, but for all that there are many who will not be unmindful of the origin, and will from their hearts thank the great, good God for the mercies He has shown us and for the blessings He has bestowed upon us as individuals and as a peo ple. We have not escaped trials and tribulations entirely, which have been mainly ot onr own making, but when we look abroad over this wide world, and compare the condition of our people with the condition of peoples of other lands, even the most favored, we have every reason to devoutly thank God that oar lot has been cast in this favored land. There is no evil from which we suffer, as the result of misdirected. selfish or. unscrupulous legislation, which, if the people be true to them selves, may not be corrected in time, and It is from this that we have suf fered and do suffer most. There are j evils which aDDear beyond our con trol Which are not beyond our con trol with better methods and better management. But with all this Providence has smiled upon us as He has smiled upon few peoples, and if we be as good to ourselves as He has been good to us, this land of onrs will continue to be the most favored abode of men and we may always look heavenward and thank God for His mercies and fostering care. Another woman has seen; Mrs. Luetgert. She saw her last May, after the vat performance took place. It was a Mrs. Thompson, wife of a prominent railroad man, who would have testified, but her husband didn't want her to go through the ordeal of a witness. She will testify now. Among other things told her by Mrs. Luetgert was that she was going away to some quiet country place, and when she came back Mr. L. wonld be gladder to see her than be ever was in his life. He would no doubt be very glad to see her now. Mrs. Keegan, of Chicago, III., who didn't have any confidence in banks hasn't any confidence in barrels now. She had $8,000 which for safe keep ing she stored away in s barrel which she put Jin a closet In her house. While the family was absent tbe other day some one went pi- rur ing in the closet and removed the lucre, but left the barrel. A three-year old preacher boy is one of the local sensations in Georgia but he doesn't like girls, says they are all wicked, and he won't have any thing to do with them, l bat boy is starting out wrong, and has probably beea too much stuck on the story of Adam. Snake bile Is said to beat tbe Ken tucky remedy for snake bite, but you never could convince a Kentuckian of that. Snake bile isn't a nice thing to take anyway. It would be as bad as the bite. Secretary Alger wants $96,258 - 445.80 for the army for next year With a prospective $160,000,000 for pensions, the army standing and re tired is a pretty expensive institu tion. A counterfeit $10 bill on the Los Angeles National Bank, of Los An geles, Cal., is in circulation. This doesn't interest us but may interest some one else who sometimes handles $10 bills. Mark Hanna has been visiting New York to find out what was the mat ter witn f latt. while there be ex pressed confidence In his election. Mark is too cute to show any uneasi ness in advance.

DEATH OF ONE OF WILMINGTON'S MOST PROMINENT CITIZENS. hind t H a Be;t 8ana KrealDt, After a bona a ia ratnrut moeu-a. u-ooa Man, Hoce tendUp lahr, Grone to Ht Reward. Mr. David G Worth died Sunday night at 11 68 o'clock, at bit late resi dence. No. 411 South Front street. Tbe end, after a long and trying illness, came peacefully and painlessly. All day yetterday there wat a stream of friends who had known and loved him going to tbe re tidence to tender their sympathy to tbe bereaved family. And whenever any one learned that Mr. D. G. Worth wat no more, there wat no other ex pression than of genuine sorrow for nis loss and unqualified praise for bis char acter. For over a year Mr, Worth bad been kept from tbe exactions of a busy life by a complication of diseases that bsffi d tbe skill of tbe best physicians. Twice be wat taken for treatment to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. His treatment tbeie certainly pro longed bis life, aad on his return from tbe first trip be wat so much improved that hopes of his complete recovery were entertained. Bat tbese hopes proved delusive, and bit condition became such that it was thought advisable for him to go a sec Dnd t m ; Tbe results were not so gratifying this time, and it became evident tbat the worst might be feared. For the last three weeks hit condition had been such that death was expected at almost any day. Mr. Worth was born on tbe 17th of December, 1831, at Asbeboro, Randolph county, and was the only tn of tbe late Gov. Jonathan Worth, who died in 1887. The motber ot the deceased wat before marriage Miss Martitia Dante', a niece of Jude Arch-bald DjBjxc Murphy. Mr. Worm's middle name was Giston after Jui n Gist on. Tbe enU education of tbe deceased wat received ia tbs neighborhood schools. A sweetness in disposition was manifested in caildaood and youth tbat foreshadowed tbe lovel Christian char acter ot maturer years. I a 1840 be en tered tbe State University, i lining tbe Dialectic Society. He graduated with first dit'.inction in tbe clats of '53 and numbered among bit classmates Col. A. M Wadflell. Col Jno D. Taylor. Col K. M Murcbiton Col. W. L DeRosset and Mcssts. DaBru z Cu'.lar and Walker Mearet. At a reunion of tbit class a few years ago. one of the brihtett spiritt pretent wat tbe lamented dead. A atauncber friend tbe Uaiversitv never had. He was for a time a member of tbe Board of Trustees, and wben the financial needs of the institution were presented to him be was always ready to respond with a liberal band. Mr. Worth wat married on June 7, 1853. to Mist Julia Anna S:ckney. of New York. She survives bim with three tout Mr. Cbarict W. Wortb. who was associated with htm in the whole sale grocery butinest; Dr. George C. Worth, medical missionary to China; and Mr. Umet S. Wortb, tpecial deputy collector in tbe U. S. Cus'om House. Of Mr. Worth's near relatives there su.vive two unclet. Mr. B G Wortb, tbe senior member ot tbe firm, and Dr. J. M. Worth, of Asheboro. Dr. T. C. Worth, who died of yellow lever ia this city la tbe year 1863 and the late J. Ad dison Wortb. ol FayetUVille. were alto unclet of Mr. D G. Wortb. Snortly after tawjage. associated with his father under (be firm name of J. Worth & aJa, Mr W nh opened up a naval stores ousiucts at Sout Springs, Moore county. His business career in Wilmington dates horn 1895, wben, wi'.h the la e N. G. Daniel as bis partner, be began tbe general commis sion business of Wortb & Daniel, on South Front street, where the new mar ket is now. succeeding to the business of B. G. Worth & Co. On the death of Mr. Daniel in 1870. the pretent firm of Worth & Worth wat formed. He wat a member of tbe Produce Ex change and the Cbamber of Commerce, and both bodies bad honored bim by electing him president. Hit attachment to both organizations was most pro nounced, as it it well remembered bow tender a communication be teat to the two bodies in the i joint meeting at Wrightsville Beacb tome time tines. Wilmington Lodge No. 819, A. F. & A. Masons, counted bim among its valued members and be was alto for teveral yean a mem ber of tbe Baard of Aldermen, at well at of Wilmiagton S.eam Fire Engine Co. No. 1. Hit largest service, however, was in tbe First P.esbyterian Church, of which he bad been a member ever since heifrst came to Wilmington. For teveral yean past be bad been an elder and previously he bad served at a deacon. Dr. Hoge. bit pastor, sayt ol bim; The first tbing tbat impressed one about tbe character of Mr. Worth wat its integrity. With bim tbit included all tbat it Ordinarily involved in tbe term tbe careful trutbfulneu of evarv word, the thorough honesty of every act. tbs scrupulous fidelity to every .obligation but it involved more. He wat a man "integer vitae." He bad that "wholeness" of nature tbat belongs to those who bave aever .tampered witb conscience, or perverted tbe powers with which nature endowed them. It wat tbit that gave bim the clearness of vision tbat detected every s iphittry by wbich wrong it made to appear right; the soundness of judgment by which he knew always tbe best thing to do; and the full-rounded conception of duty, tbe large and liberal views, that made him to valuable to city and State and church. When you knew biro batter, you were impressed witb hit tenderness hit chiv alry towardt women, bit sweetness to children, hit gentle courtety to all. You taw the deptb of bit affection for bit family and friendt, his sympathy with those in trouble or torrow, and bit com passion lor all tbe needy and suffering. The latter took the form of a broad- miaoeo and large-hearted liberal ity tbat wat dispensed at modest ly at it wat given generously. Hie large benefactions to the Y. M. C. A, to the State University, to the Synod's Orphans' Home and to bis church, could not escape notice; bat there was a steady stream of benevolence which was known only to the beneficiaries and to those throuvb whom it wat dis pensed. As the only sou in a large family, there alto fell to him the guard iantbip ot a widening family circle, to ail of whom he extended a father's care, and from whom fie received an affection and honor which Is tbe reward only of labors of love. Bat when you knew Mr Worth best, you tound that a profound spirituality lay at the basit of his character. His habitual modetty acd reserve kept him from often speaking ot his spiritual feel ings. At the dose ot bis life he felt tbat be had erred in not giving freer testi mony to God's grace. Bat in his public prayers a 1 who heard him felt tbat be was no t ranger to the secret place of tbe Moit High. He had been for many yeart a most excellent teacher of tbe Scriptures in the Sunday tcaool. Aad wben be unbosomed himself to those wbo were closest to him in bit religiout life, he revealed a devout faith in Gad! a simple dependence on Hit grace for pardon aad strength, and an humble tubmisston of his will to Gad's tbat is known only to those who ait at the feet of Jesus. Hit religiout character has been tried in the last few years by two great tens. The first wat the giving up of hit son. Dr. George C. Worth, to go as a medical missionary to China, When he learned of bis son's purpose he facilitated it In every possible way, gave him tbe fullest and mott liberal training, equipped him thoroughly with everything necessary for his highest efficiency,, aud seat bim forth witb bis approbation and blessing. But it rent his very heartstrings. Tbe other was the sudden and com -plcte prostration of his health, and the weight of suffering tbat bas lain upon him for the last two years. It ir not eaty for tbe strong man to bow himself, nor for the busy man of affairs to drop all bit plana and activities and leave tbe reins for other hands to drive. But under tbit fiery test tbe gold came out fine gold. It has seemed strange to ethers tbat one who had led such a life should be so afflicted. Tbat thougbt hat never been his. Hit only fear hat been leat in the extremity ot hit suffering be might tin against God. Bat bit trust kaew no wavering. Tbere wat no tbadow over his soul..

Tbe Currency Qa ft. on acd the Cabin Sltca tiot Ssratjr Tellsr Opinions At to Imp naot Hatters ta Be Conaidcred. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington. November 24. When asked to-day to give his opin ion as to the probability of legisla tion effecting tbe currency during the approaching session of Congress Senator Teller, who has just reached the city, said: "I do not believe there will be any legislation lookiog to the substitu tion of bank notes for greenbacks and treasury notes, which appears to be the favorite method of currency reform, so-called, advocated by tbe supporters of the gold standard. I think it very doubtful whether the advocates ot the change can agree upon tbe details of such legislation, and bankers will naturally hesitate to increase the issue of bank notes in sufficient quantity to take tbe place of the entire volume ot greenbacks and treasury notes, especially in view of tbe act that the redemption of bank notes must, to satisfy tbe demands of the cutrency reformers, be in golj." Senator Teller said he considered it quite certain tbat the President would make some recommendation upon the currency problem to Con gress, but he was of opinion that the suggestion would be in general terms, as in bis inaugural message and that the President would leave tbe details to Congress. The Senator expressed doubt as to whether tbe administration would take any step looking to the encour agement of the Cubans in their war for independence. "I think, said he, that Congress can settle the Cuban question by recognizing the bellig erent rights of the Cubans, and that should have been done long since. I believe the House will pass tbe Senate resolution sent. to it during tbe special session if that measure is brought before it; but It is quite doubtful whether it will be allowed to consider it at all.'1 Tbe Evenirur Star to dav savs : It can be stated on the highest au thority tbat tbe President is going to recommend a plan for currency reform in bit message, and further tbat part of the measure was written with tee co operation ot a:cretarv Uage. it it au thoritatively ttated that "Secret .r 7 Gage is perfectly satisfied with tbe Piesident't mettage in regard to financial legislation and that it meets his entire views and support."

Senor Romero Rpbledo, tbe former Minister of Justice and a warm friend of General Weyler, hat convened a meet ing of the Dissident Conservatives, to take place early in December. The pro gramme wbich this party will be atked to adopt is as follow?: Strenuous de fence of tbe national integrity and no concestiont to a foreign government, nor weakneat toward the inturgentt; protection for national labor and tbe maintenance of the same tariff in Cuba as in Spain.

Tbe services at the church were pecu liarly impressive. After reading tbe telectiont from the Seripturet usually employed on similar occasions, the pas tor lead in prayer, after which he read tbe 90th psalm. Tbit wat followed by tbe hymn, "Just As f Am," rendered by m at m W ar a quartette composeo 01 miss Mary LHiy Kenn, Mitt Mamie Steljes, and Messrs. C. V. Motte and C. F. W. Rebder. After readings by Dr. Hoge from lobn 14. Thrssalonians 4, and Rev elations 7, Miss Mary Lilly Kenan sang the bymn, "I've Found a Friend." Dr. Hoge said : An occasion I ike thit is more eloquent than words. So I need not repeat here what I bave expressed elsewhere io ap preciation of tbe character ot our depart ed friend, nor need I review the noble testimonies that bave come from other loving hearts. But in reading with sympathetic interest these tributes of affection, I have felt that tbere was one element of our friend's character upon which sufficient emphasis bad not been laid, and tbat was bis humility. Wben the band ol suffering and d is- eate wat laid upon bim. and numbers wbom he bad helped and befriended io many ways, seised this opportunity to show their leve and gratitude, be wat simply overwhelmed; and constantly ex pressed his wonder that be should be tbe or ject of so mucb love and kind ness. But if hit humility to wards his fellow man was great, his humility towards his G)d wat greater. Recently, when he was ex pressing to me the difficulty of endur ing pbysical anguish with patience. I ventured to remind bim of tbe promise, ' M v grace is sufficient tor thee." ' Oh," be said, "that is all there is of it. I could not endure a day or an hour without that grace " And In his hopes of acceptance with God, he thought ol none ot those things of which we think his blameless life, his abundant good woiks. bit large benefactions he onlv tbougbt of. tbe merit and mediation of a crucified Saviour. He repeatedly expressed bis disavowal of every other hope but that in a Divine and sufficient Saviour. And it is onlv through such a faith that tuch a character can be formed And my highest prayer for tbit city, for tbit commoaweaith, for our country, lor .thit church and for the whose church of God, it that tbey may never lack for men wbo tbrougb such a faith achieve such a character men who do justly, who love mercy aad walk humbly with their God. Another prayer and "Hark, Hark, my Soul" by tbe choir and the services at tbe cburch were concluded. At tbe grave there was tbe prayer of committal, tbe hymn "Asleep in Jesus" by Mitt Kenan, and the benediction, and the sorrowing concourse of people turn ed sadly away.

The inter State game of foot ball be tween the University of Virginia and the University of North Carolina will be played here to-morrow after noon at Main street park. Both teams have arrived and they dined together at tbe Jefferson this after noon. The teams are pretty well matched, and all the men seem to be in fine condition, consequently there is great division ot opinion as to the probable tesnlt. Each eleven brought fewer partisans along than usual, and it is noticeable tbat tbere is not as much enthusiasm as bas hereto fore been manifested. The managers of both teams express themselves as sanguine of success, but it is admit ted on all sides that the game prom ises to be very close and a very hotly contested! one. The elevens of tbe Baltimore City College and Richmond Athletic Clubs also play here to-morrow in the morning. Don t Ruir Any Risks about health.
