S Is O DFl I . aears the Tha Kir,d Vou riay8 AlwaS KING COTTON ONCE MORE ( Virginian Pilot ) Once more the glad news re sounds through the South that "Cotton is King.' Once more the planter is getting his share of the pi 06 ts with the manu facturer and consumer, and more, there pr mises a reign of prosperity in the South. For the time being, at least, the planter can smile upon the proper side ot his face, and it is all because cottou is selling at a price that brings profit to the man who follows the plow. Say what one will in criticism of the chronic dissatisfaction of the farmer; of his constant grumbling and ever anxious de she lor some kind of help, it matters not from where it comes, but no people could live happily with cotton selling at 5 cents a pound. A country and a city is in a bad way when its chief industry 1 t or ousiness is conducted on a losing basis. How could the farming: element of the South show sigus of progress and im provements when its staple crop brought the producer in debt? The general activity throughout the country has had something to do with increase in price of cotton as well as the specula tive movement and a short crop. The improvement is being felt last in the products of the farm. There is nothing of recent oc currence mat brings more gen . -1 eral joy and gratification than j improved conditions in the con suming ranks. Fanners are gen erally consumers, and their earnings go to help ojt every kind of manufactory from tne silk loom to the iion foundry. Their purchases are governed by their income, or, more particu larly, by their profits. For many years farmers have had no profits. They have, in many instances and sections, actually gone into debt lor the necessities of life, i n which there is little profit for the merchant. It is the liberal hand of the suc cessful planter, of manufacturer, that carries profit to the mer chant. Success in the agricul tural world is a sure and per fect reflection of success in every other line. PORTO RICO'S DISTRESS. Many of the People are B jrder ing on Starvation. Washington, March 7. Act ing Secretary of War Mciklejohn received today another appeal from General Davis, military governor of Porto Rico, for as sistance for the islanders. Gen eral Davis' letter depicts an aw ful situation in the island. He says that workmen and their families, being without means to live, are drifting into towns and demanding fcod. In a re- port which he transmits it is said that a great mny people re bordering on starvation. In the centre of the island there i nothing for the poor to eat, and the officer reports that unless assistance is given there will be an outbreak of lawlessness and sickness will prevail. . He recommends that he be given means to put 25,000 men! I at work for three months on the improvement of the roads. For this he says he will need, for labor, tools and supplier, about $225,000 per month He thinks that within three months, under this plan the period of acute distress will be passed over without difficulty, that new industrial and economic conditions will exist. SHOT THE GIRL'S FATHER He Has a Brother Killed the Melee. in ATTEMPTED ELOPEMENT. Results in a Teriible Tragedy in Pitt. Tarboro, N. C, March 5. (Special.) A very unfortunate occurrence happened in Pitt county Sunday night. It seems that Jesse James was engaged to a daughter of Mr. Ed. Lewis, who lives in No. 2 Township Mr. Lewis, had objected to his daughter's marrying Mr. James and had prohibited ins coming to his house. Sunday morning Mr. James went to Lewis' house for the purpose of getting the girl and running away with her and marrying her, but he was foiled in this scheme. Suudav night, accompanied by his brother. Sam James, he goes to Lewis house and a' tempts to get Miss Lewis by force. A scuffle ensued, in which Mr. Lewis, Sam James and Jesse James all participated. Jesse lames shot Mr. Lewis in the head and leg, but these wounds were not latal. In this fight Sam James was shot through the head and killed instantly. This put an end to the fight and Jesse jjaratrs and his crowd left. Mr Lewis' sons were present, and it is thought one of them may have shot Sam James. Up until this evening no ar rest had been made I have seen several men from this section of th county, and they all express sympathy for Mr. Lewis and his family. The coroner's jurv has return ed no verdict yet. The James boys were considered desperate ch?racteis. BIG FIRE IN TYRRELL. A $50,000 Lumber Plant Des troyed by Fire. Columbia, N. C, March 6. (Special.) Branning's mill, a very large lumber plant situate at this place, was burned Sun day at 1 p. m. The mill was worth 40,000. The Branning Manufacturing Company is one of the biggest timber concerns in the State, and had a daily capacity of about 30,000 feet. The company owns large quau. tities of standing pine timber in the county and have about eight miles of railroad in this county and contemplates building a road into Hyde county, which would give them a road thirty miles long. It is probable that the mil. will be built. The Total Eclipse. A special committee, has been appoii ted to invite scientific bodies to go to Raleigh next May to witness the total clipse of the sun. Alderman Drewry,of Raleigh, who goes north next week, will carry with him the official invitation, signed by the mayor. This will be to the United States Observatory olficials, to universities, colleges, etc. Raleigh will be the best point from which to view the eclipse. President W uston, of the Agricultural aud Mechani cal College, has already invited various colleges to send their coips ot observers here. Rival Milk is only 10 cents a can. Rollinson & Whitehurst. COTTON IN THE STATE North Carolina Fast lieeoring a Manufacturing State For the last ten years it has been evident to the casual ob server that North Carolina is making rapid strides in indus trial development. This has been especially true in the cot ton manufacturing industry. For over fifty years North Caro lina has had cotton mills, but to day they are far more numer ous than ever before. Counting those recently organized, there aic now in the State 224 mills having 1,649,000 spindles and 48,160 looms. The combined capital reaches $23,000,000. Since January 1st sixteen new mills have been incorporated an average of one every three days As the farm lands are valued at only $110,000,000, it will be readily seen that the cotton mill industry is second in importance only to the agricultural interests It the race of increase during . past year ..ere to continue for ten years, the State could no longer be called aa agricultural State. Those who do not live in a mill community can form only a very slight idea of the good a cotton mill does. The Heuriet ta Mills, the largest in the State, with a capital of $900,000, has 60,000 spindles, and looms in proportion. Every day they weave 65,000 yards of cloth ' ., . .. .. wide tor nearly eignt miles. The land around the mill, which was $10 per acre, is now worth $50, and nearly three thousand people are directly or indirectly supported by the mill. In the same proportion, prosperity has followed the cotton mill wher ever it has gone. The cotton mills in North Carolina now use all the cotton grown in the State about 300, 000 bales. At 8c per pound this is valued at $ 12,000,000, and this is all it brought before the cot ton mills were established. Now, however, in the form of cloth and yarn, its value is doubled, and more than doubled. Instead of twelve million, the State now gets thirty million. It is sometimes asked if there is not danger of our overdoing the thing of building too many mills The auswer is, "No, not while we annually import millions of dollars worth of goods from England." So long as English spindles can lun and make both ends meet, ours can run at a profit. Besides this the demand for cotton goods is rapidly increasing. There are in Asia and Africa. 800,000,000 people who want oar goods. As civilization advances the demand becomes more urgent. There are in North and South Carolina thousands of looms making clth, every yard of which is ex ported to China. While such conditions exists let the good work go on. Nothing could please us more than to see two mills where there is not but one; and let us all hope that such a condition is not far in the future. Raleigh Christian Advocate. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fourteen years and noihiug seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but constantly suf tering. I had tried everything I could bear of and at last was told to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I did, and was im mediately relieved and in a short time cured. I am bappy to say that it has not since returned. Josh Edgar, Germantown, Cal. For sale by W. W. Griggs & Son Druggis ts. LYMCH EOJ IL. Shot to Death by a Mob Waynesville. at CAUGHT AT CLYDE SAT URDAY. He Was Taken to Waynesville For Safe Keeping After Nar rowly Escaping Lynching at the Hands of an Ins furiated Mob. Waynesville, N. C . March 5. (Special) The negro Geo rge Ratcliffe, who on Saturday outraged a little white girl 8 years old, the grand daughter of Nithias Holland, three miles from Clyde, was shot to death in jail here early this morning by a mob of infuriated whites. It is thought that a large part of the mob followed the negro here from the scene ot his crime. He was run down and caught Q f" f r r rrr n - r V rli . , , . . , Clyde and placed under a heavy guard, who guarded him all night and brought him to Waynesville Sunday morning, where he was placed in jail. He confessed his guilt Saturday night after being taken to Clyde, but claimed he did not accomp lish his purpose. It was a particulaily atrocious crime, wis victim is a poor lit tle invalid girl of only eight years of age, having been a suf ferer all her life with St. Vitas' dance. It was almost impossible . . , . ' A night, a moo remaining in town until a late hour. The whole country was worked up to the lynching point and the end the negro met has created no sur prise. SHELL FISH COMMISSION. A statement of the receipts and disbursements of the Shell fish Commission has been pie pared for the first time in five years by Chief Clerk Denmark of the State Treasury Depart ment. From March 12, 1895, to Feb ruary 20, 1900, the receipts have been $28,890.21, while the dis bursements during that time have been $24,145.63, leaving a balance of $4,120.25. The following are the amounts received from the counties that have contributed to the commis sion since 1895 : Carteiet 7,463-54 Hyde 5,452.04 Craven 5.33I-I3 Currituck 5,112.08 Dare 4,031.95 Beaufort 716.56 Pasquotank 7 12.9 1 Pamlico 70.00 Since 1895, $8,741.04 has been spent on the Lily. Over half of that sum was expended last year in practically rebuild ing the craft. The chief inspect ors have drawn $3,246 since 1895, and the deputy inspectors have been paid $11,28740. The Way it Works. We read of a town in State of Indiana where a the tins plate plant giving employment to two hundred workmen was "absorbed' by the Trustr and the workmen thrown out on the street; and then again that the Brooklyn house ot the sugar trust has closed down and five hundred workmen find their oc cupation eone. This is the A - system under which it is claim ed that wages are advancing and the country is prosperous. FJ.ks At The AtlanticConstitution tells a goo 1 story about an old color ed mau ho hearing that Boston was the Mecca of the Southern darkies, concluded he would emigrate to that city of Back Bay culture and baked beans. But alas the poor old man's bright was dream "toosA'eet and beautiful to last," and pretty soon he found himself out in the world both hungty and homeless. In his distress, re membering how the "white folks" in the South always help ed him out when in trouble the old "uncle"' went from house lo house and, hat in hand, told his tale of woe and humbly asked for some work to do, or if no work would they give him some thing to eat. To his surprise the invariable answer was "No; Mister , very sorry but we have uothiug for you " He got plenty Mistering but no help or sympathy. Finally he raug at the front door of a fine looking house and on its being opened by the own er he made the same pitilul plea He not no "Mr." here but the gentleman exclaimed : "Vou darned black kinky headed ras-! ceil : uw uuic yuu i iug d l my 1 1 1 ,1 . front door ! Go round to the kitchen and the cook will give you all you want." Instead of being indignant the poor old homesick fellow fell on his knees and with tears streaming down his face exclaim ed : "Thank de Lawd, I fouu' ray own white folks at last ! Thank de Lawd, I foun' 'em I foun'! em ! " He realized the difference in the kindly hearted Southerner who "cussed him out" but fed him, aud the "Bostonese" who "Mistered" him but would let him starve to death on his door step. The old time negroes know who their friends are. The young ones had better learn the lesson also. Crawled Ninety Miles. Jonathan Graves, of Burling ton Junction, Mo., who has ap plied for a pension, has a uni que record, says an exchange. He was a private in the 1 12th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and contracted scurvy in Andersons ville Prison, losing the use of his legs. While being removed in an ambulance he managed to slip to the ground unnoticed, and crawled on his hands aud knees from Goldsboro, N. C, to Newberne, N. C, where there was a Union camp. He covered the ninety miles in seventeen days. When captuied he tipped the scales at 175 pounds, but after his long crawl he weighed only ninety pounds. We notice that J. W. Lee, a fellow who called himself the "Irish Evangelist" and who abused and vilified the best peo pie of every town he polluted by his presence, has left his wife and children destitute in Greens boro and is now living in aduK tery in Washington City with a Georgia girl he seduced from her home. It is generally this breed of cattle who have so much to say about the wrong doing of their betters and who disgrace every pulpit they preach in by vile tirades of slander, filth and billingsgate. Such wretches who pretend to be followers of the meek and lowly Nazarine are but wolves in sheeps clothing 4 'My Own White Last." aud should not be allowed in Christian churches 01 tolerated by gedly people.
