Searles, of New York, and Mr. R. H. Edmonds, of Balti more, who ere in Charlotte last week on their return trip, which covered 7,000 miles and embraced the west and south, reached Baltimore last Friday, and Mr. Searles gave the Sun, of that city, an exceedingly interesting inter view with regard to his observations and impressions. We copy from it as follows: "The south," said Mr. Searh s, "has for ten years been passing through an experimental period, in which the met tle of the people n the inherent strength of its position have been un dergoing a test. Both have stood the ordeal and demonstrated to the busi ness world the soundness of the whole soutvern situation. The south is a country of such remarkable natural advantages that it would seem to offer the broadest opportunities for exten sive operations in the developmeut of its mineral and timber wealth and the extension of its railroad facil ities. "When the very remarkable com bination of advantages possessed by the south in coal, iron, timber and cotton, without counting all of the less striking resources of phosphates, mar bles, granites, etc., is taken into ac count. I can readily believe, as Mr Edmonds has often said to me, that there is no other country in the world which can duplicate its wealth. Other countries have some of these advan tages; some have iron and coal, some have timber, some marbles and granites, but I believe it is fair to say that no other region of the world has them all concentrated in such wealth creating magnitude as the south. "Given these resources, and with a favorable climate and a productive soil, both of which the South enjoys, there ought not to be any limit to the possibly profitable development of tha country. If England could create Its enormous industrial interests, based largely on imported cotton and iron ore, and spending, as she does, about $750,000,000 a year for bread stuffs; if New England, with but few natural advantages, could, by the great energy of its people and the force of circumstances, build up its marvelous industrial prosperity, based upon imported coal, imported iron and imported cotton, what may we not expect of the South now that it has fairly entered upon the broad devel opment of its mineral wealth and its cotton and lumber manufacture? ''A careful study of the business cond. lions of that whole section, of the spirit of the peop of the splen did pr'gre-3 already made in cotton manufacturing, of the truly marvelous iron and steel-making advantages, as illustrated in Birmingham and re membering that while Birmingham is necessarily destined to be one of the world '8 leading metallurgical centres, there are many other points where iron and sieel can be profitably manu factured, thus giving assurance of the upbuilding of many other iron cities as the work of development goes on remembering all these facts, the thoughtful student of business condi tions must see that the South has an exceedingly bright future." .3 I I This is considerably less than half of the interview. Mr. Searles speaks in detail of the iron interest about Birmingham, of the cotton manufac turing interest of the south, and of the plans of the American Cotton Com pany, with the advantages of the cylin drical bale. "Looking," says he. "over the whole situation, as I have tried to do, and appreciating some thing of what the south has already accomplished, and what Its many ad vantages are, I am thoroughly con vinced that there are great opportuni ties in that section for broad and com prehensive development." No Northern observer has lately given the South more reason for en couragement than has Mr. Searles In this interview. Charlotte Observer. flR. PAGE HERE. Don't Fall to Hear His Lecture at the Normal Tonight. Mr. Walter H. Page who will de liver his famous lecture, "The Making of Literature" at the State Normal and Industrial College tonight, ar rived at noon today from Chapel Hill, where he lectured last night, before the students of the University.

By Wire to Thb Tilboram Washington, March 10 Vice Presi dent Hobart today appointed Senator Martin, of Virginia, & member of the postal commission in the place of Sen ator Faulkner, of West Virginia, whose term has expired. NATIONAL CAPITAL MATTERS, Senator Prltchard's Son Promoted to a Lieutenancy. THE PACIFIC CANAL AMENDMENT Failed to Pass, but Win be Earnestly Pressed During the Next Con gressAs to Wheelers Pay Special to Thb Tklbqham. Washington, Mar. 10 Southern members of congress still in Washing ton, say that the Pacific cable amend ment, which failed during the last days of the session just closed, will almost certainly be enacted into law at the long session, when there will be more time for its consideration. Sen ator Butler, of Nc rth Carolina, who in troduced the bill for the building of the cable says that he will press the sub ject ernestly to the attention of the senate during the next congress, and he thinks there is no doubt but the construction of the cable will be au thorized. Southern members of con gress, including Senators Pritchard, of North Carolina, Daniel and Mar tin, of Virginia, Morgan and Pettus, of Alabama, Money and Sullivan, of Mississippi, and others, are favorable to the construction of a cable across the Pacific to Sonolu'u. Senator Mor gan, of Alabama, who so successfully championed the Nlcaraguan canal through the senate, believes that the improvements go hand in hand, and constitute the greatest and most impor tant public works presented to con gress for many years. The senator, as one of the Hawaiian commissioners is familiar with the subject, and says he thinks the cable will become an ab solute necessity, and the senator has no doubt but congress will authorize its construction. Had there been more time to properly consider the matter during t'e short session, he believes there would have been no doubt of both houses of congress giving their sanction to the cable proposed. Senator Pritchard, who has been in Washington since the adjournment of the senate and house, in speaking up on the subject the other day said that at the next session he would support the bill of his colleague, for he re gards the cable as being of the utmost importance. Senator Sullivan, of Mississippi, who is also in Washington, expresses himself as favorable to the construc tion of the cable. The failure of the bill introduced by Mr. Kit bin for the erection of a pub lic building at Durham, North Caro lina, which was earnestly advocated by the members of the North Carolina delegation, Is a disappointment. Sen ator Pritchard stated the other day that the bill would again come before the next congress, and he thinks that Durham will then be provided for. The senator said there was no more reason for refusing to appropriate money for Durham's public building than would have been for two-thirds of the bills for public buildings In other towns which went through both houses without opposition. There are a large number of appli cations on file at the war department for the lieutenantdes apportioned to North Carolina. It is the impression at the war department that the ap pointments will be made from the officers of the volunteer army , although the president Is not limited in his choice, and if he sees fit can make the appointments from civil life. In connection with the refusal of Speaker Reed to sign tho pay warrant for General Wheeler, attention is called to the fact that Wheeler has re fused to accept pay as a member of congress ever since he accepted a com mission in the volunteer army, al though every other member who held a commission has not been backward In drawing his salary from the treas ury. James Whltcomb Riley, the Indiana poet, was in Washington last Wednes day. He left that night for Norfolk, where he had an engagement, and will then proceed to Richmond, returning to Washington, where he fills an en gagement Monday night. Ex-Representative Pearson, of North Carolina, called at the White House yesterday afternoon for the purpose of asking for an appointment as Lieu tenant for William D. Pritchard, a son of Senator Pritchard, who Is now an officer in the First Regiment of Immunes. Mr. Pearson was successful, and soon after he left the White House orders were sent to the War Depart ment to Issue the commission to Lieu tenant Pritchard.

Their Appearance at the College Last - Night a Great Event. The concert by the British Guards Band, at Greensboro Female College last night, was a musical event in this city. Lieutenant Dan Godfrey directs a band of rare excellence and the ren dition of well known compositions seemed well nitch perfect. A refined audience, of between six and eight hundred people, attended the concert and time after time twice as many hands were set a-going making a heart applause. The band is said to have twenty- two soloists, tl ough, of course, all this number is heard at no one per formance. The flute solo by Mr. Redfern was pronounced by many to be the grandest they had ever heard. Among the most enjoyable pieces rendered by the band were "The Drummer's Dilemma" arranged by Mr. Byrne, who played the difficult part. He used twelve instruments, the band not slacking in the least for him to exchange, though he seemed always ready and waiting and re ceived one of the most enthusiastic encores of the evening. "England and America" a sort of medley arranged by Lieut. Godfrey, from the patriotic airs of both nations was rendered, for the third time, in the most perfect manner and was, of course, fine. When the band struck "Dixie" hands and feet were not enough and cheers went up from almost every throat, the noise almost drowning the music for awhile. Dan Godfrey's appearance here will be long remembered and Greensboro is glad of having had him. The band left this morning for Charlotte where they appear tonight. No Election In Utah.
