State 'oncologist Holmes' Kecoinmeiids Them s" Against Wells. The Charlotte Observer'n P.aleigh coi respondent w rites ni follows regard ing the scarcity o cisterns in North Curoliua: It is always a pleasure to tiavel with that courteous and well-informed gentleman, State Geologist Holmes. Ihi was called on not long ago by the owners of the Hope Milis cotton factory, near Fuyetteville, for suggestions as to the betterment of heir water supply. He suggested an artesian well. Mr. H. E. Knox, Jr., of Charlotte, bored this and Prof. Holmes has a photograph showing tho well complete, thruwiug a four inch stream of wuter to a height of eight feet. H forces the water 2 feet above the ground level in a pip'. It gives a flow of 50 paihms u minute, or with a steam pump olM gallons a minute. In other words, it is a great success. The water is free-stone with a very slight trace of sulphur. There are only 20 artesian wells in this State. The ques tion of a supply of good drinkirg w ater is a grave one, and Prof. Holmes will, during the coming winter, issue a bul letin on this question so far as North Carolina is concerned. The water Thich this well yields is that which falls in the great sandhills near South ern Pines. At Southport this same water can be had by boring to a depth of say 1,1 U0 feet, says Prof. Holmes. At Hope Mills, as indeed at many of the factory towns, and indeedjat other tow ns in the State, there has been much sickness this year and considera ble mortality. The dry season haa prevented a tlow of water in many wells and springs sufficient to carry off the vegetable impurities, and thia is asrigned by Prof. Holmes as a great cp.ust of the trouble. In this particu lar part of the State artesian wella are declared to be impracticable, owing to the geological formation, but in all the southeastern counties the chances are pretty pood for water by this means; much bitter than in the northeastern counties. Prof. Holmes says he can not understand why people in the in terior of the State do not build cis terns; that these cost but a trifle more than wells and give pure water. The only reason he can assign for the lack of cisterns is that the fore-fathers of these people dug wells, and that the dresent generation simply follows the customs of its predecessors.

The native animals aud grade cows, on the contrary, are almoFt entirely free. From a Noith Carolina Experiment Station Bulletin. The Penitentiary Cotton Crop. " We planted au area of 20 per cent, more cotton this year ou the peniten tiary f irms, " r;aid Superintendent Lcazur, tho other day, "and from present uppearnucea wo will gather about the sumo number of bales that wo sold last year. If this expectation is realized, at present prices, we will get in the neighborhood of $25,000 more for the crop than last year. If the price goeu to 10 cents the increase will be over 30,000. T)r . Benbow, of Greensboro, is put tM:g the Crowji Cotton Mills, shut do-;:i for a coupla of years, in sbapo to begin w ork, au-l 1U0 persons will be employed. Some additional equip ment will be put in. Fivo years ago the co-opei-j:tivoeottou mill there was liui-shed. It was never equipped. It ul.-;-) is being equipped. It is Raid that at the present moment no less tloiu sixteen cotton mills are in course of erection in this State. The Holt family must bo the largest mill owner, as it controls sixteen mills, thirteen of which are in Alamance county. The Worth family, of Ban dolph, probably ranks next. At th.3 Winston Tobacco Association's annunl meeting the old officers were re-eleote-t. Col. E. C. Edmunds is president. His report showed the leaf sales ou the Winston market during the past year t bv 13,110,050 pounds. No less than 555 brands of commer cial fertilizers are ou sale in this State. Years ago there was a license tax of $500 on each brand. Now there is only a tax of 25 cents a ton. Hence the great increase of brands. As a reward for his savine from wreck the vestibule train last week by informing the agent of a misplaced switch, the Southern has given Bev. W. II. Bryant a pass over its system for live years. The Winston Sentinel says the leal tobacco business is at a stand-6till there an tall over the State. The weather is so dry that the Jeaf cannot be handled. Cotton receipts at Raleigh on Satur day reached 100 bales, and it sold for 8.31. The banks paid out to the farm ers on that day over $10,000 in cash. A farmer saysto the Gastonia Ga zette: "Last year I sold four bales of cotton and got 01 ; this jear I sold three bales and got 8124." Cotton is past Ixdcg hurt tave by a severe wind or prolonged rain. Both dronght and frost have dons their work upon it. The cotton crop for Cabarrns for this year is estimated at abont 8,000 bales 4.0V) less than that of last year. It is rumored that a $300,000 cotton factory is be built within a mile of Fuyetteville, says the Observer. The Buffalo thread mills at Concord are-completed and this week begin work. 3 Killed and U Injured. At rittsbnr,;. Pa..

"The South" is a very large ex pression, aud progress in the South in dicates a movement distributed over many states not at alt alike, cither in natural advautiges or lately aeqvircd enterprise. Some parts of tho South are still very backward, whilo others have madeadvancesof late yars which it would be difficult to find excelled in any other eection uf the country. Peo ple hare become familiar with the rapidly increasing production of th great agricultural staple of the South. Bet n ecu 18S0 aud 1885 the cf op kept within C,0 )'000 bal.'s, by 18S6 it ita 6,500,iK- bales, and by close on to 7,000,01 H). The maximum as thought to have lw?eu reached wheD tl crop of I K'X) exceeded 7,300,000 bales, but that was thrown into tho tha le wlunthe extraordinary crop of last yeuj showed a total of nearly y,50O,O(X) bale. The present year's crop will be very far short of this iu quantity, though thanks to Iho advanced price, its value may bo fs great. Iu the natural order of things, tho crop of 1801 will not stand long without t rival. When Texos grows more cotton than a'l Iho South did Kfore the war and she is still at tho beginning of her agricultural development, the Cotton pro bieiug possibilities of the South arc veiy far from being exhausted. Hide by side with the growth of what used to be the only source of Southern wealth there h is been growing tip a moie diveisititd agriculture and iho beginning of a wide range of mtniti facte res. It is churacH-ribtic of t lie new spirit of the South that the cott-oii see. I oil industry is Iho growth of the period huco the war. A product which wan reckoned useless in l Ul rigtired iii 18'.') as having n nb:e,ulter treatment in tho mills, of S'J5,s;i,MOy, a'lil is today the baM ofnu investment iu building and iiiHchiii'-i y of J '.O.Otii), 000. In 1SS0 the whole South pro duced only 113,000,0 M bushel- of grain, last year tho yield was 000,00'),- 000. The number of tons of coal mined in 1880 was but little over 0,000,001, while 1801 it was 30,0'o,. 000. The output of pig irou in the South iu 1880 was 107,oOO tons, and in 1SJ1 1,500,000 tons. TheJ value of tho product of the sancd and planed lumber, w hich in 1880 was $10,938,000, had risenin 1831 to $114,740,074. The true value of Southern property ac cording to the census returns of 1880, was ?7, OU, 000,000; last year it was estimated at 57 per cent more. There are to-day some 800,000,000 invested in manufacturing enterprises in the South, with an estimated annual value of product of 81,000,000,000. Of the former, about 8108,000,000 is invested in cotton mills, or fivo times as much as in 1880,and some $03,000, 000 is invested in lumber mills. A recent writer on tho South remarked that with the possession of all the raw materials entering into manufactures, with cheap labor and cost of living, the industrial futuro of tho South should be of Iho brightest. But the fact that these resources remained so long un developed and are now coming eo fully into evidence argues a change in the spirit of the people more fignilicant than the inexhaustible bounty' of nature. No one at all familiar with the old South can fail to be btruck with the resolution with which the men, whom the war left penniless.set them selves to repair their wasted fortunes. While there were many that succumb ed to the struggle, as well as many that surmounted it, they have, as a rule, left there some much better fit - ted for the competition of modern life than thev were themselves. The rapid acceleration of Southern progress may be due partly to an infusion of North ern energy, but it is mamly Ihe work of Southerners who were too young to know anything of the war or its pas sions, or who were born after its close. In the hands of this generation the South has taken its first great etride of real progress. 1 t:riitM AKi; in tarhoro. On :ir;lay Mornliijt t Distinct Sho-k Was Felt.
