It seemi strange to tbe outside world that labor ot any sort it not aboudant Id tbe Sootbern States, where there are apposed to be tbe greater numbers of ten millioa of negroes. Nevettheleas tbe faot remains tbat there is in many parts of this section a soaroity not only of farm labor bat of domestic servant. In a reoetit article in tbe New Yoik San oo tbe subject a Georgia farmer complained tbat his ootpot of ootton is small simply because labor is not pro? ourable. Tbe faot is explained, he says, by "tbe natural tendenoy of the labor ing classes to drift to the oities," and by tbe "exodus of white agricultural labor from tbe fields to tbe ootton mills." A citizen of North Carolina declares that "nearly 50,000 people have left farms to go into cotton mills" and that '50,000 more have left farms to go into euoh faotorits, snob as ootton seed oil mills, saw mills, furniture factories," etc. These statements do not tally de eatibe the situation. Many negroie have gone into tbe States North of the Obio and Potomao rivers. Siooe tbe Presidsntof tbe United States bas ap peared as the apostle and grand white advocate of negro equality, negroes have gone into tbe Northern States in numbers far greater than most people imagine. To be recognized 'as tbe equals of the whites is ttie most ardent aspiration of tbe negroes, and they are now possessed of a strong belief tbat this recognition is to be got from tbe white people ot the Northern States. Tbe movement of tbe negroes to tbe oities is moat attraotivo because there they hope to find persons of their own raoe wbo will harbor tbem and help tbem to employment. A negro wbo bas once lived in a city will not go back to tbe country on any terms, and be even Booms tbe smaller oilies.and con sideiable towns where in some cases tbey are not wanted bat meet witb serious opposition, whereas tbey ean go to the great oities without being notioed. So extensively bas this mi gratlon of negroes northward been in progress tbat tbe next census will sbow astonishing results. Tbe editor of the Richmond Timrs Dispatoh in a very recent issue, com menting on a statement by Mr. Jobn Temple Graves of Georgia, io a recent speeoh in Cbioago, to tbe effeot tbat negro labor no longer produces the balk of the cotton crop in the South, sayst "We are not so well posted as to the conditions in tbe cotton produoing sections of the country as are our far Southern contemporaries, but in Vir ginia tbe statement of Mr. Graves will prove true if it be made witb reference to all tbe otops tbat are grown. In sections of Virginia, through which the writer bas recently traveled, tbe negro farm laborer is almost extinct and tbat is a section in wbioh a few years ago tbe negro was all in all in the matter of labor. "The negro men have gone to the mines, to the public woiks, to tbe North, to the oities and towns, or somewhere else. At any rate tbey are not on tbe farms in at least tbree Vir- ginia oouatiee that we could name, and this we say from actual personal ob servation. Tbe crops in those counties, tobaoco, wheat, oorn, oats, etc, have been made this year almost entirely by white labor, in tbe most part by the owners ol tbe tarms ana tneir nait- grown sons. Oo some farms there is bired labor, but tbe men employed are young white men, born and reared in tbe neighborhood. "Tbe most gratifying part of the story is yet to be told : These farmers whose help is connned to tneir own boys and tbe boys of tbeir neighbors have made better crops and are in a more prosperous condition than tbey ever were before. We heard no com plaints in tbat region about tbe negroes going eff to mines and tbe railway wotks, The farmers are doing very well without them." A similar situation exists in respect to tbe domestic service in that State. A letter to the Lynchburg News from a correspondent at Bedford City, a considerable inland town, says: "The question of domestic labor is each dv becoming more oomptexing and d ffljnlt. A large boarding bouse is olosed becanse of the impossibility of procuring servants to perform tbe necessary labor. There are many households here where, for tbe same reason, tbe mistress is enacting tbe role of oock, chambermaid and general maid-of all work, while hundreds of eolored ladies are walking tbe street in elegant idleness. They toil not, yet they are usually well and fashionably dressed and well fed, and always able to go on an excursion or some other pleasure jaunt requiring money to ao complisb." The situation described in Virginia has been growing in seriousness for some Years past, but it bas been stim ulated to an extraordinary degree of intensity since tbe negroes began to believe tbat President Koosevelt is tbeir moses to lead tbem into tbe promised land of sooial and politioa! equality with wbites, and tbey are hurrying as rast as tney oan to oross tbe two rivers I bat ont tbem on trom tbe land in whiob the blessings they seek are to be realized. The diffusion of tbe negro popula Hon amone tbe wbites is tbe only solo tion of tbe raoe problem, and this it what will even eventoally take piaoe, and In a briefer period than will be commonly enooosed. It is necessary tbat the negro shall oooapy among the tbe place to wbioh be belongs, ana mat is one ot subordination. What Is Life? In tbe last analysis nobody knows bat we do know that it Is under strict law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain results. Irregular living means derangement of the organs, resulting In Constipation, Headache or Liver trouble. Dr King's New Life Pills quickly re-adlOBts this. It's gentle, yet thorough.

MdbTSuiBrtt, ' j cottoi is xue. Prosperity of southern farmers is traoeable in part to the good prioes which oottoo bas brought daring tbe past two or three years, and despite tbe efforts ot foreign ootton buyers to oreate tbe impression tbat the Boutb's supremacy in ootton may some day be contested by other eonntries, there is not much danger on that point. After a thorough investigation of eotton son ditions abroad, Colonel Alfred B. bhep person, the eotton statistician of New York, writing from Liverpool to the Manufacturers' Reeord, says : While yarns and goods have no where advanced to tbe parity of oottoo, the spinners who bought a targe pro portion of tbeir eotton in tbe early part of the season at an average cost of not over five tenths, have bad a remunera tive season, and many spinners on tbe continent and in ICngland are in this olas8. The manufacturers wbo sold tbeir yarns or goods for future delivery on tbe basis of a price for ootton lower than tbey had to pay and there were many in Ibis situation have had, of course, a very unsatisfactory season. The effeot was exactly as if they had been speculating in ootton 'futures' and had got on the wrong side ot the mar ket. Nowhere in Europe are tbe mills burdened with large stocks ot high priced eotton." Colonel Sbepperson, referring to tbe fact tbat imports of cotton trom India have increased about 500,000 bales daring tbe season, says : Tbere is no doubt tbat more eareful cultivation and preparation would greatly improve many ot tbe varieties f India eotton and a eontinnanoe of bigb prioes tor American ootton wonld be the greatest ineentive to snob im provement. Taking a broad view of tbe matter, I oannot regard as an ad vantage to oar southern states the nbanoement of tbe price ot American ootton after the great balk of it had passed ont of tbe hands ot the planters and farmers to snoh an extent as to enoourage an inoreaee of ootton pro dnotion and to stimulate oultivation in every part of tbe world whish offers the slightest bope of saooesstul resalts. "Tbe European newspapers frequent refer to tbe efforts for promoting tbe oultivation ot ootton in tbe British, Frenob and German possessions in Afrioa, the West Indies, Australia, etc., but I do not find tbat any substantial progress bas been made in any quarter. With proper treatment ootton can be grown in many oountries wbioh possess tbe suitable conditions of temperature and rainfall. It is perfectly evident, however, tbat it will never be grown on a large soale in any of these new fields ot production unless it oan be made a more profitable orop than tbe other crops bow raised in these countries. "The natives ot Afrioa and this is qually true of the people in the West ludies, Australia, South Amerioa, etc. are not especially interested in the mat ter of an abnndant supply of ootton at a low price for the ootton spinners of Europe. They will not grow ootton trom sympathy for European spinners, nor oan tbey expect to derive any Ion or amusement trom a erop requiring careful attention tbe greater part ot the year. The bigb prices whiob have ruled for ootton during the past season have been oaased by the moderate crops of American cotton for several seasons, coincident with tbe expansion in ootton mannfaotnring in tbe United States and abroad. 8peoulation in ootton futures' bas also contributed, even more than the legitimate causes mentioned, to ad vanoes in prioes." Colonel Sbepperson summarizes pres ent indications of tbe ootton orop, and in oonoluaion says: "Blessed with temperature and rain fall better adapted to the successful culture of ootton than any other conn try, and witb an abundanoe of land to meet every possible requirement for extension of acreage, the United States will nndoubtedly maintain in the la tare its present supremacy in ootton production and oootinue to dominate tbe markets of the world."

The question of oreatiog an inland waterway along oor eastern ' coast, wbioh bas been nnder consideration for some tew years past, is apparently be ing brought to a point of possible aobievement. A bill was passed by congress last year directing tbe United States engineer corps to make an ex amination of a route oonneotiDg tbe Chesapeake bay with tbe lower sounds of North Carolina and forming tbe first link in tbe obain of inland navigation, wbioh is possible almost tbe entire length ot tbe Atlantic coast. Illustrating tbe valne of this inland waterway to tbw section ot tbeooontry particularly, tbe following statements are made: 1. It is ao established faot that Bat teras is the most dangerous point on the Atlantic ooast. 2. A large number of vessels un dertaking to go by this point are wrecked year after year. 3 An inland waterway of sufficient depth to take oare of the smaller ves sels wonld be utilized as a means of avoiding Hatteras. 4. Tbat tbere has been a revolution in the freight rates by large redactions since tbe use of barges. 5. That in event ot war between this government and any foreign pow er tbe use and value of euoh an inland waterway is self evident in tbe advan tages tbat would accrue by a protected and safe ohannel along tbe ooast. D. Tbat tbe largely increasing traf fie between tbe Soutb and tbe North demands the adoption of tbe cheapest and safest means ot transportation. 7. Publio waterways place in tbe bands ot tbe people a competition tbat oannot be controlled by individual or corporate bodies. The dangers ot Hatteras are so widely known, and more particularly manners, tbat tbere is bardly any neoessity of dwelling on them further than to quote a statemeot that 17 per oent. of tbe vessels trading along the coast are wrecked at this point. Not only is it dangerous to life aud proper ty, bat is also a point of detention, owing to tbe oombatting winds tbat prevail. It is self evident, tberetore, tbat if a suitable route oould be ob tained inland tbis menaoe to life and property could be avoided aud the ad vantages ot every mode of transporta tion by water oonld be availed of. barges and tugboats have caused a great reduotion of freight rates, and iu tbe ease of balky matter, snob as lum ber, coal, etc, it has reduced tbe price considerably more tban oot-baif. For instance, tbe rate oo ooal from Balti more to New England points, when carried only by steamers or sailboats, ran from $3 to $5 per ton; it is now be ing delivered to these points at from 75 cents to $1.25 per ton; therefore, if points on tbe ooast soutb of Hatteras were in a position to ntilize this means of freighting, there woold be a large saving. Experiments have been made by individuals of utilizing barges to bring lumber from southern ports north, but tbey were unsuccessful, owing to tbe risks and losses occasion ed by Hatteras. If an inland route sofBoient to oarry barges with a draft of 16 feet were in existence, there oan be no doubt tbat tbis means of trans portation would speedily be adopted. The South would gain a further ad vantage trom the tact that there wonld be return oargoes for these barges in the way of lumber, while at present bargee trading In ooal to the North re turn empty, having no oargo to bring baok. Of course, the return oargo would materially help pay tbe expenses. It oan be olearly shown tbat tbe in land route will effeot a saving by tbe reduotion of theooet of freighting, oou pled with tbe stoppage of loss of prop erty now forced on ooasting vessels, to make a handsome return to tbe people for tbe money spent by tbd government in its construction. The value to tbe government itself bas been oommeotad ou time and again. General Craigbill, formerly ohief engineer of tbe Uoited 8tates army, said, in speaking of tbe inland waterway: "Its present impor tanoe cannot be overestimated, as well from a military as trom a commercial standpoint." Tbe experience ot tbe naval ofuiers and tbe men wbo under took to take the torpedo boats south in the late war with Spain would clearly point ont the necessities of tbe con struotion ot tbis inland route from the standpoint both of safety and of dis patch. Keports or tbe various ooast oities in nearlv every instance show an increase in trsffio whiob dearly entitles the South section to the benefits of all economical changes tbat oan be brought about. This growing increase makes it more important that tbere should be made some move to provide tbat section with the means of economizing so as to oe in line with tbe other seotions. Tbe effort of mercantile life there, as in otber parts of ths oonntry, is being bent toward tbe reduotion of tbe cost of producing and handling tbe prodoots of the earth; therefore, any step toward this great eeooomio end should be reo ogniced and taken advantage of as soon as possible. In tbe effort to eeonre eoonomy there is nosubjeet that has had oloBer Btody tban transportation. The more thickly populated a country, tbe greater is tbe effort to reduoe the cost ot carrying the prodoots. Europe bas given thought, time and money to the construction of canals for the purpose ot minimizing this carrying cost Tbis country has made wonderful strides in its railroad and steamship lines, bnt we are in oor infanoy in regard to canals. Tbe ad vent ot railroads and tbe vast amount of money that has been expended on tbem, beginning back in the eiities, with tbe result of bringing so muoh ter ritory in touch witb the market, elimi nated from the mihds ot capitalists tbe more economical eanal. In time tbe error ot this became apparent and to day in this eountrv. as in Enrone. can ital bas begun to look more closely into eanal eoonomtos. There is nothing that marks tbe cheapening ot water transportation to a greater extent tban the custom ot osicg tugboats and barges, which has been availed ot in the last few years, This new manner of carrying freight is probably the oheapest that bas ever been known. To provide an inland waterway for barges and sailing ves ssls is ths object ot this movement, in wbioh ths government has now beoome interested.

Municipal Lighting In Cleveland Ureenaboro Telegram, It appears tbat tbe city of Cleveland bas undertaken to go further tban ei tber Cbioago or Detroit in tbe opera (ion Of a municipal electric lighting plant. ' Ic proposes to supply light and power to private consumers and not merely to light tbe streets aud public buildings. Tbe project formed ono cf the plank? iu the platform upon which Mayor Johnson aud a majority of tbe conooil were elected in tho spring, and one of tbe first aois of the new admin iatratiou was tbe introduction of an ordionnce providing for tbo issue o! $200,000 in bonds ton tbe erection of tbe required plant. Tbe ordinance met with a temporary dof nat in the council, but there is nprmently a strong ma jirity favoring tbe experiment very nearly tbe necessary two thirds. The opposition was strengthened by a report made by a special committee of tbo Cievelaud chamber of commerce, which condemned the measure on tbe ground tbat municipal electric lighting was neither a proper city function nor a 8uccese; that tbe ocst would exceed tbe estimates, and tbat tbe project was in the nature of unfair competition with a private company, the report farther adding tbat ample poer exists iu tbe council, through its ability to control rates and charges, to aooom plisb any reenlts wbiob might aooroe through a municipal piant. At a reotnt meeting of tbe council Mayor Johnson proposed that as the opposition to tbe electrio lighting ordi nance was avowedly based upon the opposition of tbe public tbe matter should be submitted to the voters at a special election. After some opposition tbis method of settling tbe problem was kecepted, aud tbe epecial election is to be beld soon. At tins election a two thirds majority of tbe voters most favor be experiment or it cannot be tried. The results of this election will be watcbed with keen interest by the publio, wbioh is just now giving not a ittle attention to tbe various phases ot tbe question of muoioipal ownership of public utilities. Why Do We chip Baw Cotton to Europe 1 From "The Cotton Crop of To day," by Kichtrd 11 Edmomia. in the Anibricau Mont ly lievitw of KeMewo for Sep tember. While tbo largest expansion of the oottou-mill industry is in the Sooth, this does not mean tbe decay of New England's mill intereste. There is room tor growth in both sections, certainly for New England to maintain its pres ent eotton business by a steady tenden cy toward tbe finest products, even though most of tbe future growth should oenter in the South. Tbere are abont 110.000 000 cotton spindles in tbe world, and three fourths ot all tbe oot ton used by tbem comes from tbe ootton fields of tbe Soutb; but that section, witb all progress, still bas only 8 000, 000 spindles. The entire country bas only about 22 000,000. We are still shipping to Europe over GO per oent. of our raw cotton every year, almost as nneconomio as it would be to ship our iron ore instead cf turning it into tbe finished prod act bere. Iu 1900 tbere were 302 000 bands employed in the ootton mills of this country. Oa this basis tbe full utilization in our own mills of tbe ten and a half million bales we now produce would furnish employ ment to nearly a million operatives. For tbe oontrol of tbis vast industry, employing a million people, probably two billions of capital, and prodnciug about $1 500 (WO 000 a year of fiuiebed goods, tbe South is now beginning to contend. It is a prizj worthy tbe struggle, for it is enoagb to enrich an empire. Add the irOUU.UUU.UUU or $350,000 000, (be present value of Ibe ootton and seed orop, the $1 500.000,000 as the present value of tbe produot ot ootton send oil mills, and the total of about $2 250.000,000,-merely, of oourse, a rougu estimate iu tbe round figures, is tbe dazzling wealth wbiob tbe South, by natural advantages, bas the right to claim and the oertaioty of eventually winning.

I do not propose to discuss the moral right ot oor fathers to hold slaves.- Tbey thought tbat as Abra- am, tbe friend of Ood, Isaao, tbe evoted servant of the1 most High, and Moses, the law giver of Israel tbey thought that aa these great, good men eld slaves, and since slavery existed urinor tbe time of Jesus of Nazareth. and hi bltered no word against it; but on tbe contrary gave instruction for tbe management and regulation of lavery tbey tbongbt tbey bad an indisputable right to own slaved Tbey saw no hum io reoelving tbe slaves bat came from Old and New England. Tbey saw no barm in holding slaves in boudtge and treating them kindly. "Most writers make no allusion to tbe origin of slavery, save in a passing way; they slur it over, and cite as its beginning the purohaee of twenty ne roes by tbe Virginia Colony in 1016. This was the first establishment of slavery bat it was a mere drop in the ooean. '--- With tbe exeeption f a few slaves brought over by tbe Dutch, tbere was never a negro landed on American soil but those negroes bat came in tbe ships of Old and New England. Tbe Sonth never owned a lave ship. Eogland for a ong tim was actively engaged in lave trbfflo but Mew E inland did not ow tbe Mother Country to mooop lize tbe trade. Massachu setts was the first Colony to paes an ot legalizing slave trade, and slavery actually existed in Massachusetts as early as 1723 The first slave ship tbat ever left ibe American shore was built at Marble Head, Mass. Many New England towns were ad vanced through the profits from slave trading. And eo it was that New Eug- anders in later times denounced as tbe sum of all bitters' tbat which their fathers bad so graciously indulged , 1 "Tbe Virginia House, as early as 1772, eent a petition to George III. k ig stor the abolishment ot slave trim:, booth Carolina and (ieorgia pibdud similar acts.

Dr. Jones, bastilv, traced the history ot Slavery in the United States up to the Civil War, conditions existing and causes v.bat lead to th war, illustrating bis points witb each incidents as tbe Dred Scott case, Jobn Brown's raid, broadcast of anti slavery literature and movements of abolitionists. 'We hear a great deal abont tbe Soutb Carolina nullification; this was simply a suspension of law nntil the Supreme Court could decide. We bear ittle of tbe New England nullification, tbat was simply a suspension ot the de oision of the Supreme Court. Tbere is not tbe shade of the shadow of a ghost of a doubt tbat tbe border States woold have abolished slavery had it not been tor tbe encroachments of the abolitionists. "I may say, io passing, tbat the avee were, as a role, hippy and oon- tented. When Jobn Brown made his raid and captured the United States arsenal tbe slaves showed tbeir loyalty by not flocking to bis side. Tbe affeo tion and loyalty of the slaves, wbo stayed at borne and protected tbe wives and daughters of the Confederate sol diers, is without a parallel in history. Tbe spirit ot tbe Booth may ue summed up in tbe words of Lee when be said: 'If I owned four million slaves, I would free them witb one strcka of my pen to avoid war.' Tbe effect of slavery upon tbe ne groes may be illustrated by tbe words of an honest negro divine, wbo said : Slavery brought tbe negro up from savagery to a oivilizsd and christian zed raoe. Tbe real pioneers of negro enlightenment were tbe 'ole missus and 'ole massa.' Six hundred thousand negroes were cburcb members in 1865 ' Writers cf tbe Mortn olaim that slavery prevented tbe South trom pro ducing any great literary characters, but in refutation of tbis 1 will merely mention tbe names of Harrison, Dab ney, Oildersleeve.

A truly independent paper is inde pendent of everybody exoept the pub lic That is, it owes no higher allegi anoe to any person or oonoern, and recognizes 0 obligation contraven tion to tbe poblio interest. It has no private axes to grind and no ulterior purposes to subserve. -It lookB only to tbe publio Interests for inspiration and direotion. From the public alone it seeks approbation and support. Nor is a paper any the less independent because it takes some position on publio matters, politioal or otherwise. It is not an evidence of its indepen dence that its editor has nooonviotions, or, having them, is afraid for business or otber reasons to allow them expres sion. On the contrary it rather implies a lack of independence to fail to cham pion tbe right and condemn the wrong in matters of business or cf politics-, where the interests of tbe publio are believed to be at stake. Nor does it matter whether tbe failure be due to a fear of giving offense or of sustaining a loss of business. Tbe positions taken by an ideally independent paper and its editor's con viotions are prompted, however, by no other considerations tban the publio weal. Whenever other considerations prevail it, of course, ceases to be inde pendent. Tbere is alao no more reason why a paper should suppress its opinions and oonviotions on political matters, looal or national tban to suppress those on business matters, looal and national. In faot no more - serious business exists than the government of tbis country, and tbe oondnot of its af fairs politically, from the President end Congress to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. The publio has no greater safeguard tban an honest and free press. It is a constant menace and terror to tbe grafting politician, and tbe boodler, and a source of support and oonfidence to the honest official, wbo otherwise might be at tbe mercy of bis foes While the truly independent paper may take, and does take, positions on matters of general oonoern, when it believes it oan serve tbe publio Interest by so doing, it endeavors to confine mere matters of opinion to its editorial oolumns, and seeks to present in its news columns tbe faots, just as tbey are, or oocnr, with equal regard to both sides and all sides, and wholly unadulteratad and without coloring through bias, prejudice or polioy. TYPHOID AID BOILED W&TIR. Baltimore Son. Dr. Leigh Canney is straegling, witb partial success, to get the British War Offioe to adopt tbe precautions against typhoid fever devised by modem seicnoe and approved by experience. It is insisted by him tbat all the drink ing water nsed by the soldiers, wbetb er in camp or on the marob, shall be boiled, and that 2 per oent. of tbe men of any nnit be detailed to attend to the water supply for their comrades and see that it is boiled, It is often said that Sies and dnst, as well as drinking water, serve to spread typhoid baailli. This may be conceded, thoneb it is in dabitable tbat contaminated drinking water is nearly always the sonrce or the infection. A notable instanoe is cited by Dr. Canney in a letter to the London Times to prove tbat it is drink ing water, and tbat alone, which needs safeguarding. The Assnan dam arooBs tbe Nile employed ten tbonsand workmen for fonr years. Tbe men lived in a camp, and flies and dnst wereabondant; yet tbe camp was absolutely exempt from typboid, or enterio, fever, owing to the rigid requirement that all drinking water should be boiled. Tbe esmp was for fonr years npon tbe same site, and the filthy babits of tbe workmen furnished favorable conditions for typhoid if it could be generated otherwise than by baoilli in dricking water. Tbe fact is oited also that tbe adoption in Sontb Afrioa of a boiled water supply extin guished typhoid in tbe camps and gar risons in wbiob snch water was aoto ally nsed. In tbree minor wars Abyssinia, Aehanti and Suskin where drinking water was boiled typhoid was abolished. The difficulty is in getting so-called practioal men to praotioe hat they concede to be a well-estab lished scientific doctrine.
