Fifteen years ago all the man ufactories in the South, of every description, had invested in them $257,000000, which in ten years had increased to $660,000, 000. As nearly or fully one third of the cotton mills have been built within five years, or since 1S90, the pu-sent capital investsd in manufacturing in the South must very nearly approach one billion dollars (1,000,000, 000). The Courier Journal, in refer ring to these facts, very proper-, ly says that the South has only begun to manufacture its raw products. Its natural advantages are in every way superior to the West. In a few more years it will be a commercial absurdity to sell cotton to New England instead ol to the mill that adjoin the fields where it is grown. A Good Man Gone. Here is the kind of an obitu ary that a Georgia editor put up for a poor man: "Poor Jim slung his earthly garments. on a limb and swam the river yesterday. He did not stand back because the water was cold, but plunged right in, rose smiling and struck right out for the other shore where the angels were waiting for him with a finer suit than he had ever worn in his life. Jim was a poor man, but he had his sub scription to his home paper all paid up, and he got there in good shape." There is an old colored wo man living in Kd wards town ship, Wilkes county, who has at tained the remarkable age of 1 10 years. She is now busily engag ed in cutting her second set of teeth.

To Make Cotton Bales Round A NEW SCIIKME WHICH WILL RE QUIRE THE COMBINED EF FORTS OF PLANTERS TO DEFEAT. The Progressive Fanner, the organ of the National Farmers' Alliance, published at Raleigh, has the following: "We have just learned of a gigantic and diabolical combine about to be effected to control the price of cotton. "The plan is to secure charters and establish gins with compress attachments at as many points as possible in the cotton States. The bales are to be round in stead of square. Cotton buyers will co operate and force farmers to have their cotton ginned at these new gins by refusing to pay as much for cotton put in the ordinary way. This will compel the present owners of gins to go out of business. "'The railroads will haul round bales cheaper than square bales. The cotton seed oil mills will like the new gins and compress es, be located mainly 011 railroad lines, and the seed men will als ways be on h artel to get bargains, as many farmers would sel? seed cheaper rather than haul them a long distance home. "To defeat this scheme it will require the united efforts of all the farmers in the cotton States. It is probable applications will be made for charters for such enterprises in the present and all legislatures held in the near future." IV! iloacje. The State Treasurer paid 111 Tanuarv. on account of mneage to members and officers of the General Assembly, as follows: Senate branch, 13.967 miles, and House branch 33,310 miles, making an aggregate of 47277 miles, which, at 10 cents pei mile, makes $4,727.70.

A STORY WHICH READS ROMANCE. LIKE A Newberne Journal. Two or three years ago a young North Carolinian named Hobbes went to New York, re- sided there some time, met young lady with whom he fell in love, the passion was recip- rocated, and the twain became j engaged, riobbes source 01 in come was somewhat precarious and not what he deemed satisfac tory upon which to commence housekeeping aud he determined to seek, his fortune. After vow-j ing eternal constancy he set sail for Rurope aud in course of time from there he brought up ia Australia. He there procured a position on a local paper and in his pro- fessiou displayed so much enter prise that his employers in course of time sent him to inves tigate the slave trade in the In dian Ocean. The vessel on which lie sailed was wrecked and every soul on board except himselt wras drown ed. He was found insensible 011 a coral reef by a party of canni bal islanders who took him pris- oner aud he wa reservedgto oe served at a state dinner. The daughter of the King, a dusky but comely maiden sought his liberty at her father's hands aud used such argtimcntslshe sue ceeded. About this time a formidable rebellion broke out in the dusky King's dominions, and our Caro lina boy, with his inherited war rior spirit, advised a plan of campaign to put down the re bellion, which being folloved was so eminently successful that the King's foes wTere almost an nihilated and as a reward for'his genius and valor Hobbes was made Prime Minister. The dusky Princess was very much in love with our hero, and did not fail to let the fact be known, but Hobbes eloquently and pathetically related how he loved his New York sweetheart and could not, therefore, share his love or be untrue to his American fiance. The Princess accepted the situation, but she wTas sore stricken and pined away aud soon died. Her death was a severe blow to the King, who grieved inten sely and soon after died. Hobbes had in the meantime: become so popular with these island people that he was unani i inously elected to be King aud is now King Maietoe. The equal is as interesting as any part of the story. A few weeks ago King "Male toe landed in New York, sought but his lady love, had a royal wedding, and after a few weeks of civilization departed for his island kingdom, where, let us hope, he may fore-er reign in peace.the brave and adventurous. constant, North Carolina. King. Senator Teller made a bitter attack on Senator Sherman as Secretary of State. He eaid Sherman was the most incom petent man Major McKinley could have selected, Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, having been re-elected, the Republicans now say that they can pass a new tariff bill. A GAME MESSENGER. Killed one of 'a Gang who Held ut His Train. News comes from Los Ange les, California, to the effect that the west bound Santa Fe train, was held up and robbed by two masked men near Nelson,a small station about six miles east of Peach Springs, Ariz. One of the robbers was killed bv the express messenger. The train robbers stopped the train by signals and as the engi neer stepped out of the cab to ascertain the cause of the trouble an armed masked man command ed him to cut the engine off and run ahead a quarter of a mile, which he did. The robbers then turned their attention to the mail car. They commanded the door opened which was complied with. One robber entered .the ! car aud commenced picking up the loose registered packages. i The robbers then started for the express car but Messenger Sum mers auicklv oDeuect the door and shot one of the robbers dead. i j The other escaped, taking with him a few registered packages. The dead robber was taken to Peach Springs, but has not yet been identified. TIIEY ARE AFTER HIM. Indian trailers and deputy j sheriffs started before daylight on the trail ol the tram rono er who escaped after holding up the train at Nelson Monday night. Harris' Good Appetite. The novel sight of a man eat ing, with seeming relish, nails, glass, screws aud other indiges tible articles was witnessed a few days ago by the faculty and studeuts of the Baltimore Medi cal College. The man was Sam- iipI TTnrris. 22 vears old. of Syracuse, N. Y., who calls him self the "Ostrich Man," who has been exhibiting liimsell to the students of medical colleges throughout the country for the last seven years. After eating 75 tacks, lath nails, 1 two inch screw, a three inch horseshoe nail and a portion of a lamp chimney, he bit a piece off the blade of a pocket-knife and swal lowed it. Several members of the faculty examined Harris without finding anything to give him unusual digestive power. Harris then permitted one of the students to pull him by the hair, which appeared to be as strong as iron. Harris said his secret was in the fact that he aU ways ate a hearty meal of beef and bread before taking an al- lowance of the other articles. Bible For Inauguration. The Bible, upon which President-elect McKinley will lay his hand while taking the oath of office, is being bound in Cincin nati. The African Methodist Church of America asked the privilege of furnishing the book, and Mr. McKinley granted it. Bishop B. V. Arnett, of Wilber force University, selected the Bible. It is of a regular pulpit edition, which ordinarily sells ior $20, but is now being special ly bound in heavy morocco, and will cost, when comp.eted, $86. It will have a light case of black walnut, which was grown in Greene couutv, O. The Bible will be tipped on the comers with gold, and the inscriptions on the binding and title page will be in gold. The book . will be with its bindings about ten by fourteen inches and two and three-fourth inches thick. After the inauguration the work will be presented to the President as n crifr from theAfrican race of " is a America, whichjhe will keep in his family.

II. llami in The Tradismnt. . The south's great benefit is to be derived form manufacturing. Your supremacy as an agricul tural region is recognized, but the line of the greatest operation will be in the establishment of factories and mills to convert your produce into finished arti cles for the market. I know nothing that would pay more than canning fac tories. It requires comparative ly small capital, stimulates the farming class to grow a greater variety of products by affording them a cash market at their own doors, gives employment to a great number of persons, male aud female, who would others wise have none, and sends out a valuable food product, which will return money to circulate in domestic channels. Another advantage is that the industry can be built by home capital. A canning factory is in every spect a home industry. re The south raises nearly every vnnVtv of fruit aud vegetables and the industry would thrive there. Especially would it be o advantage to small towns. The best paying products to can are tomatoes, peaches, peas, beans corn, sweet potatoes, berries ,f0rt! fieri nnrl shrinm. The uzilv-ij, a market demand for these as wel as all canned goods increases as each year, as the people lean the value of this food product. The southern states should not be forced to purchase canned goods from the north and west, when the natural resources of your own country offer such inducements to the establishment of the ins dustry. Some two years ago I had oc casiou to sample a can of very fine Maine corn, in one of the leading cities of the south- I re marked to the dealer that I could ti-niinntp it in the south. He ridiculed the idea, and said that "it couldn't be done outside of the New England states." I told 1?mi all rit'ht I would prove my "cortirm true later on. Some tit- or four months afterwards I nrcsented the gentleman with a m mm Tracked south, by my- r . c.ir ot.rl nskPfl him to sample ana expresshis opinion ot same, lie axa 3t once Said. i are thif corn tro into the market and jl ivx tJ i fn r'.'MlPri to tretdownltheir best t .1 .. mt 1 r-nt "illr WlLIl , -il. v... io-tr ort thf corn tnein. xuu "v. t - to do ii-with.

They swallow any and c A. foxxr or, crnnprl w sonnd judgement. Take country at large, this year, and we venture to assert that the pack dees not exceed three-fifths of an average one, and that, too, in the face of little or nothing being carried over from last season, aiosi 01 our own ducts were sold before they were canned, or whilst being so, aud the supply left here is a mere jajratelle. ou can turuisn ruits, vegetables, oysters and fish of finer flavor than the east or north. You can furnish hese sroods whose superiors do not grow anywhere in Uncle's Sam's dominions. There have been failures oi cauuing factories in the south. t has not been brought about by natural circumstances. It was caused by alack of economy and painstaking care and co-operat- ion. niese are inui-uu elements of success in any bus iness. The farmer is slow to plant for these factories, even when the cauner tells him he can realeze more for the product in one season than the land it is grown on would sell for. Let the canners go ahead and demon strate to the farmers by actual tests that the growing ot these products is not any harder to cultivate than an acre of 6cent cotton; aud that the same land that makes him 111 good season one-half bale of cotton to the acre will grow him on an average 200 bushels of tomatoes at 25 cents per bushel, seventy-five bushles of peas at 60 cents per bushel, or 100 bushles of beans at 50 cents per bushel, and so on aud not impoverish his laud to the extent that cotton does. One farmer related to me in Indiana some years ago, when he receiv ed a check for $80 for tomatoes grown on less than an acre of land.that it "was so easy that it's like picking it up in the road" Once get the farmers to know the good of it and the balance is easy. There is another feature of the canning: business that deser ves special mention, and that is the employment it furnishes at good wages to every class 01 peo pie. male and female find it plea saut and profitable work. Cans uing ruachiuery costing lroni $150 to 200 would give employ- ment to at least forty people directly and about the same number indirectly. It is pecul iarly adapted to the smaller towns aud cities. Yes, canning will pay in the south; you have the things which with good management and perseverance will make canning factories pay in the south as they are paying in a grand way in so many other states. I will be glad to give your people any further informa tion in reference to this industry that I can. Wm. H. Mann. It proved a Serious Joke.
