THE LABOErt IS
. WORTHY
Up to the close of August,
1898, there were 182 mills in
the State of North Carolina
alone, these running 1,018,303
spindles and 23,351 looms. In
1890 the State had 344,006
spindles, or only about a third
of the number it possessed on
September 1 last year. During
the few months that have
elapsed since that date progress
has been continuous and rapid.
Propositions for new mills are
being announced weekly and
construction is proceeding stead
ily. Older plants are being en
larged and it is almost impossi
ble to follow the marvelous de
velopment of this industry in
Nortji Carolina. The city of
Charlotte which had only one
cotton mill in 1888, now has
twelve, while at Concord, wThere
there are seven spinning mills,
another will be erected during
the coming summer. The
greatest variety of products is
being turned out, including not
merely yarns and plain cloths,
but towelings, hosiery and knit
goods, while something is also
being done in silk, wool and
carpets. In South Carolina
there is nearly as much activity
a3 in the "Old North State,"
and Georgia and Alabama have
placed their cotton manufactur
ing industries on firm founda
tions also. Most of the mills
are making large profits, pay
ing. from 35 per cent, down to
8 per cent., and naturally very
little of the stock is on the mar
ket at any price. New invest
ors, therefore, in order to "get
into the' business, must build
new mills. Although a good
deal has been heard about
Northern capital going South,
and it is welcomed, of course,
it is stated that over 85 per
cent., of the money invested in
the twio Carolinas in cotton
those States. For this reason
there is the sign of greater
health about the industry.
Much of the capital which hasj
been accumulated m the indus
try stairs in the industry. There
are ' no undignified schemes
afloat to bring in foreign mon
ey. The mills are owned by
those who operate tliem, or wno
live near them and know their
value, and who have their pros
perity most closely at heart.
There is nothing tnat we can
call to mind which should fill
Americans more full" of hope
for the economic future of the
country than this natural man-
festation of industrial strengtn
i tha Sinn thrn states. It is a
ill lllb JULIlli " -
development which all Ameri-
ns North as well as &outn,

feeling of pride and satisfaction.

It was in 1484 that Bishop
Courtenay, of Exeter, heard
that a great bell at Liandaff
might be acquired, nnd, having
a passion in that direction, he
journeyed to the South Wales
town and managed? to secure
the monster in exchange for
five smaller . ones. He success
fully removed it to Exeter, and
had it hoisted to the top of the
northern tower of the Cathe
dral. The tower, however, had not
been designed to accommodate
such a campanological giant,
and room could only be found
for it then by removing a por
tion of the roof. To protect his
treasure the Bishop erected over
the tower a spire of oak, cov
ered with lead, and he sur
mounted this by a vane, the
conspicuous feature ot which
was a representation of a cock
in copper.
Its extreme-length was z feet
9 inches and height 2 feet 6
inches, while it was 8 inches
thick in the centre, being cast
hollow. The chanticleer re
mained in this lofty position for
268 years, discharging the use
ful duty of telling the residents
of the "Ever Faithful" city
which way the wind blew. Dur
ing that long spell of service it
looked down on some strange
and moving sights, for the pe
riod covered by its lofty exer
tions was rich in history-making
incidents.
