W I It III A M H. BBBNABD. Xdltov nd Proprietor. v WILMINGTON, N. C. Fbida, - - February 1, 1901 ENGLASD STILL LEADS England still continues to be and will for many years to come be the world's greatest cotton manufac turer, although she does not raise a pound of cotton and buysevery pound she manufactures. She will cease, some day to be great manufacturer she has been and is,for she is destined 10 oe conironted wijih competition which she cannot withstand, com petition from cottongrowing coun tries, the most formidable of which yyill bo the United States and 'Kussia, the former of which does " and the latter tof which will raise its own cotton. She will have other . competitors, Germany and France, both of which are looking to the future and taking steps to sup ply the cotton their mills will need by encouraging its culture in their African colonies. To what extent they will succbed in this remains to be seen, but it is, said the climate and the soil in the colonies where the attempt is to be made are well adapted to it. If so then England will have several competitors in a field where she once had undisputed sway. But as it is both Germany and France are making considerable progress in cotton manufacturing, for the former has increased her exports about one-third in the past decade, while the latter har nearly doubled hers. It is only within the past decade that the manufac turers of the United States have struck out for the world's markets, but within that time they have in creased their exports from ldi 000,000 to.258,000,000 yards. This is a very small showing along side of the 5,134,966,000 yards ex ported by English manufacturers ten years ago, and the 5,034,250,000 yards exported in 1900. It appears from these figures that England has already begun to feel the effects of competition, because the exports of last year have fallen below those of ten years ago, but not enough to show any serious crippling, while the immensity of the figures show the determination of the Britons to make a hard flght to hold the field where they once held full sway. That they will make a hard fight may be taken for granted, for an in dustry that gives employment to so many people, makes business for so many ships, "and brings in three or four hundred millions of dollars an nually, will not be surrendered with out a hard and prolonged struggle. The same reason that will keep the ."'currents, and not at the flag that flies on the ship that holds the cargo. Wo hae entered the field as a world competitor, and couldn't stop where we are even if we wanted to. We now have more mills than , are needed to supply the home markets, and wo must let them remain idle a part of each year and build no more, or we must build more and enter the fight in earnest for foreign mar kets. The. four hundred textile mills that were built in this country last year is proof that our cotton manu facturers have their eye3 on the world, and are- going to reach out for it. Oar people are not going to content themselves with growing cotton for other nations to spin and weave and get rich out of. That is not business. They are not any more likely to do that as a regular thing than they are to dig iron ore and ship it to the countries that manufacture iron. Mill building in this country has not yet fully began, and it is nearly at an end in England.. SOMETHING IN WHICH THE SOUTH IS INTERESTED. It is'said that there are fewer cat tle raised in this country now, not withstanding the increased demand, than there were ten years ago, at tributed to the more contracted pas ture ranges and to the exhaustion on some of the ranges of the grasses on which, the cattle fed. As bearing upon this we clip the following from the NewYork Sun, because it is something in which the Sonth is interested: "A well known cattle dealer who recently wrote a review of the cattle market in 1890 expressed the opinion that, before many years, nearly all the beef cattle of the country would come from the corn belt States. He said that overcropping was rapidly destroying the grasses on the great plains, and that their importance as a source of beef was constantly diminishing "There is no donbt that the very large cattle industry in the corn belt is capable of indefinite' expansion. The farms, as a rule, are kept in a state of excellent fertility. A riven ares Kill supply enough forage and gram to end to .market eight or ten times as many fat cattle as are now raised on the same area in the range States and Territories. Great Britain is buying from us every year over $30,000,000 worth of live cattle, or about three fourths of all the cattle on the hoof imported by her markets. Most of these shipments come from th nnrn belt 8tatea, from Nebraska and Kansas to Ohio. Comparatively few of the range cattle are forwarded on the hoof oui are sent to the packing centres, whence they go to the domestic or for eign consumer as refrigerated, canned, pickled or salted beef. ' "About one-half of our total beef exports are now derived from the corn belt But the range 8tates contribute the larger part of the dressed beef that is sent to the thousands of home mar kets; and while the beef industry may be enormously increased in the rich corn raising 8utes, the diminution in the supply from the great plains amuumg to me very serious impair ment of a large source of wealth. The IltPSSlALISlI ILLUSTRATED. Gen. MacArthur has given us some object lessons in imperialism. He has arrested and banished to Guam a number of Filipinos who have declined to recognize the su premacy of the United States, thus converting Guam into an American St. Helena. But he has gone fur ther than this by gagging the press and imprisoning and deporting an deporting - an American editor in Manila, who dared to criticise some acts of the captain of the port, criticisms based upon information given him by merchants. This cap tain 'was accused of charging ex cessive fees for pilotage and appro priating so me of the money to his own use. He had the editor ar rested, and it is claimed that in vestigation proved the charges to be unfounded. This, was do ly an nounced in the offending paper, bnt because the editor would not promise not to publish in the future any thing of a similar character he was imprisoned and -ordered to be de ported to the United States.- He is now a prisoner, awaiting the sailing of the vessel on which he is to be deported. This man was a soldier and served as a volunteer in one of the Minne sota regiments, bnt as he refused to 'Wear a muzzle he, like the banished Filipinos, became the victim of impe rialistic despotism. Gen. Otis had his press censors who ran their bine pencil through everythingJie didn't want the pnblic to know, but he didn't go to the extent of banishing editors who oxposed the maladminis tration of officials, and refused to wear muzzles. There was no charge that this man was disloyal, or that he was giving aid and comfert to the "insurgents." He was simply ex posing; as he thought in the public interest, case of official malfeas ance, and for this he was snatched up and banished, as a dangerous character. Imperialism protects its own. 1 KSSrNra No crop can be grown without Potash. Supply enough Pot ash and your profits will be large; without Potash your :rop will be "scrubby." GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

He took back with him a lot of loot in the shape of precions stones, silver ornaments, ivory and antique works, with some of which he intended to decorate his roost, giving. others to friends and selling some. But his plans were all nipped by the Government, which ordered him back to China, accompanied by another order to gather all that track and take it back and deliver it to the people he stole it from.

There is too much money invested in the industry to let it die, and consequently the mills will be kept running as long as possible, even at much reduced profits. If there were any other promising industry that might be substituted the end might come sooner, but there is not. English thinkers who look from the past into the future realize that England's supremacy as a manufac turing nation, which means also as a commercial nation, is passing away, and no doubt some of her manu facturers also realize it, and hence the efforts which some the plains were covered with as lnn riant a growth of grass as they had twenty years earlier, the additional number of live stock they would sup port would be worth at least flOO.OCO,- OIK.

The Joint Committee on Education held a lengthy session this afternoon to consider Aycock's text book bill. The committee had previously referred the bill to a sub-committee for exami nation, and the committee reported back at the meeting to-day favorably, barring a few minor changes. The following is the report of the sub committee: There was discussion favorable to the bill by 8enator Aycock, Jt. B. Whitaaer, Jr., and others. Morris, of Carteret opposed action nOw, be cause he had a bill introduced which he desired considered along with the Aycock bill, as he thought it wonld take its place and cover the ground more satisfactorily. The committee proceeded to con sider the Aycock bill by sections, and adopted the two first sections without change before a recess was taken to to morrow afternoon. These prescribe that the Board of Education adopt the the bxks and methods by which these shall be selected. Ten or more sections remain to be passed on. There will be objections to several.but the committee is disposed not to oppose the will or the majority, so that when the report is made to the Assembly, whether favorable or unfavorable, it will be unanimous. Confederate Veterans Thirty -twjv camps are represented in the convention of Confederate veter ans to nighi ia Representative Hall. The purpose is to memorialize the Legislature to provide ample support to the Soldiers' Home and the j fund to pension needy soldiers.

Raleigh, N. 0., Jan. 30. Railroad interests have been a principal topic of discussion here the past two or tnree days, on account of the recent compromise of the tax assesment suits, the prompt payment of their State taxes when the cases were Comoro- mised as reported in yesterday's Stab telegrams and because of the forth coming annual repo t of the Corpora Uve Commission to Governor Russell which will be transmitted to the Gen eral Assembly this afternoon Tho most notable feature of the report of the commission so far as it relates to railroads, is the following statement relative to their earnings for the past several years. , The gross earnings of all the rail -roads from operations in North Caro i1nntawawre l4 919,833, against $12. 995 725 for 1899, $11,543 510 for 1898 and $11,253,359 for 1897, while the operating expenses . were $9,336,881 aesinst $8,186,500 for 1899, $7395 548 ,and 7.?57.786 fo?1897; S fi M9i inco00f operation was $5,582,951 for 1899, against $4 147 9fis for 1898 and $3,594,573 for 1897!
