THE SOUTH IX THE SWIU. FIFTEEN niLUON IN NEW COTTON MILLS. Phenomenal Activity In Iron and Coal Indus tries Higher Prices for Cotton and Enormous Cotton Crop Prosper ous Season Certain. Bvitimore, Sept. 6. The Manufact urer's Record says that the announce ments of new cotton mills projected in the South during the last three months exceeded that of any similar period in the history of cotton mill building in this section. There were reported 77 mills, which will have an aggregate of over 300,000 spindles, which added to the 500,000 spindles to be put into mills that had been reported prior to May 31, makes a total of about 800,000 spindles to be added to the number now in operation in the South. If these mills are built as indications promise, the aggregate investment will represent something over $15,000, 000. The rapid expansion of the textile interests of the South and the phenom enal activity prevailing in iron and coal matters, coupled with an increas ing demand for farm lands for settle ment )y Western people, is bringing about an unusually healthy business conditiou throughout this entire sec tion. With the continuation of high prices for cotton, the enormous grain crop which has been produced and .ihese active conditions in industrial interests, the South bids fair to have the most prosperous season which it has enjoyed for many years.

Ooldes Rules Laid Down by the Pounder Of the Fortune a Cents ry Ago Are Relig iously Followed To-day The Art Of Silence Carefully Cultivated. When a Parisian anarchist sent an infernal machine to the bead of the French Rothschilds a couple of weeks ago, the financial universe trembled the next day, when the cable flashed the news to all quarters of the globe. How intimately the nations of Europe are entwined with the fortunes of the Rothschilds is a question. That the connection is very close indeed can be easily teen by a glance at the history of Europe. One nation may declare war upon the other, but not the most powerful ot them all has the courage or hardihood to declare war upon the Rothschilds. Such is the power of money when guided by the hereditary genius ot this strange family. In all the European wars of the past century the Rothschilds were a most potent factor. They practically held in their hands the power to irive de feat or victory to either side, by with drawing their support from the one and concentrating it upon the other. But this is not the policy of the Roths childs. They have no desire to make an empty show of their power. War in the past has always meant untold millions to them. Carnage coins gold for them. , ' What the wealth of this family is, can onlv be roughly estimated. It it av be 1,000,000,000 and it may be $2,W0,O(X,000; it is somewhere between those ligures. There are eleven bar ons, each one of them, aniong the richest men in Europe and with their respective fortunes so fixed that they ' can be used as a unit 11 neea ue. All this wealth sprang from the gen ius' of the son of a poor dealer in furn iture and cheap bric-a-brac at Frank fort. This genius was named Mexer Amschel Ltothschild and he was the founder of a fortune which has no equal in contemporary history. In small wav this man started a banking business." It was a little concern and for the first few years he had a hard struggle to keep'it from going to the wall. From the first he mapped out certain rules which he absolutely ad hered to and which are just as potent in the management of the numerous banks to-day as they were then and for that matter they will probably be in force a dozen generations from now. One of them is: "A man will not tell what he has not heard.'1 Another is: "Gold Lnever repeats what it sees' Absolute secrecy in all dealings is the rule of the house. Let a clerk in any of the banks be discovered talking about the most trivial thing connected with the affairs of the business and he is at once discharged. As far as possi ble the Rothschilds employ clerks from the same family generation after generation. The great grandson of a present clerk may be keeping the same accounts a hundred years hence that bis forefather is working over to-day. In time the capacity for haying noth ing becomes hereditary. The Rothschilds employ a skilled professor of finance to instruct their growing sons. Finance with them is evervthing. A few-Americans havt studied under this genius. Henry F. Gillig, the founder of the American exchange in London, was one of thee, but he did not follow his teachings strictlv, lor after building up a great fortune in London without having a cent of original capital, he tailed seven Years ago for $iiJMh0"0. leaving hun dred of touring Americans stranded in all iKirts of the globe. At the time of the Naindeonic inva sion the great Rothschild had built up a local reputation a a tinam-er and had alreadv established his Mm Na than Mavef Rothschild in Ixjndon, for those were untitled times, and the prudence of the man discovered the necessity of having a place to fly to, if occasion required When the news of Naoleou com ing reached Fmnkforr. the elector of HeW pUced 1-V franc- in the cnst.nlv of the eldei Roth-child for -ate keeping. This sum wa? itit to the oii in England. Napoleon heard of it ami tried in every way to induce the banker to give it up. A iiuiii!oii to his establish- nent ai.d minutely exatuiued the vault and the book.-. Menaces and intimidation were tn vain, however, ui i!uudii.g Rothschild to divulge the whereabout.- of the treasure and the commission undertook to play uimju hi-- religious scruples by demand ing an oath. He refuel to take it and then wa talk of putting hiin un der a rret. Napoleon did not quite mratiivHit(ire such an act of vio- , lence and an effort was thn made to 1 1 " win the old man by the promise of gain. They proposed to him to leave him half the treasure if he would de liver the other half to the French offi cials. They promised him a receipt in full, accompanied by a certificate proving that he had yielded only to force and that he was .blameless for the seizure of the entire amount. But the banker had already decided that all trusts were sacred and refused. ' In 1814 the elector returned to Frankfort and the 15,000,000 francs were paid back to hlux The terms of the deposit' gave the Rothschilds the interest on the money while it was in their custody and this considerable sum was in reality the cornerstone of the family fortune. Wealthy marriages has also been part of the creed of th family. In 1806 the son who had settled in Lon don married the daughter of a rich banker, Levi Barnet Cohen. This Nathan Rothschild was on the battlefield of Waterloo and by a won derfully quick trip reached London before the real news had been re ceived by the government. He was on the staff of Wellington and the minute he saw the defeat of Napoleon was Certain rode at breakneck speed to Ostend, crossed the channel at the risk of his life, and was on the stock exchange next morning. At that time Ed gland only knew of the first part of the battle, when it seemed that Napoleon was again destined to conquer. Rothschild's gloomy air and the adroit rumors put in circula tion argued the. worst for England. The prices of securities fell at a terrific rate. At the proper time Rothschild put his agents at work buying every thing in sight. Later came the news of Wellington's victorv. Rothschild is said to have cleared $ii,000,000 by the deal. Bismarck has been forced to bow to the moneyed power of this family. In the Prussian government de manded an indemnity of $2o,000,0K) from the city of Frankfort. The Rothschild sent word to Bismarck that if any attempt was made to en force the lew, they would break ev ery bank iu Berlin. This was no idle threat, as Bismarck well knew, and he succumbed to the inevitable. - , Baron Alphonse de Rothschild to whom the infernal machine was re cently sent is the head of the Paris bank. He has strong ideas on the lalxjr question and has made many enemies in consequence. Three years ago he expressed these views on the labor problem: ,41 do not believe in the so-called labor movement. 1 am confident that the workingmen, generally speaking, are satisfied with their condition and have neither cause nor desire to com pkiin. They are. I am convinced, in different to socialism. To be sure, some agitators make plenty of noise, but that amounts to nothing; they do not influence the honest and reason able workingmen. In considering the so-called labor movement it is necessary, however, to distinguish sharply good from bail workmen. Only the idle good-for-nothings desire the eight-hour day. Serious men, fathers of families, work as long as they think necessary for their own and their children's needs. There is much loose talk nowadays about the danger of o much capital in the hands of a few men. This is all rubbish. Some men are richer; others are poorer. To morrow this is all changed by vicissitudes which nobody can control. It is the money w hich circulates which fructifies, ami money circulates with the tame risk to alt. It is money which one lends iu confi dence for so-called good things which do not always turn out to le ginnl. All that applies to the great as well as the small ventures. "Frighten and threaten capital a. id it vanishes. Capital i hue water. Grasp it violently Mid if slip-through your fingers; treat it gei ;n. : . a canal in w hich to lead it and it ' i ns wherever you will. Capita! eoim trv's fortune.

These views were not ple.-iant to the excitable mases of Paris Per haps the infernal machine was an echo of them. Of the eleven bamtis, Nathaniel, Alfred and Ieiold are located in London: Alphonse. Gustav, Edward. Adolph and Jame in Pari.-: Nathaniel in Vienna and William in Frankfort. The lielmonts are the agents in this country. Some idea of their riche can be had from the fact, that since ls!5 they have raiMd for Great Britain alone more t Imu 1 .000, l "V J; for Austria, f i'A ouUMj; fur Prussia, $2un,0UU.XW; for France. $4(.(M).00n: for Italy, nearly iO.OOO.OOO; for Russia, $12VX.UQ"; for Brazil, from $CO.or).0UO to $70,O0O. uOO and they took through the Belmont-Morgan syndicate about 15, OOO.lwOof the issue of United States bonds last February. The latest and mot reeent attempt against the peace and quite of the Rothschilds in their Paris Banking , House was made only last week by a poor tramp deserter from the French Army who was seized by the Detect ive in the Bank, as the crazy man was attempting to light the faise. It was found that the bomb was harmless as it would not explode. STATE NEW" 8, M"r. J. H. Lockhart, a brother of Congressman J. A.

Cowles, of Statesville, became violently insane at Durham one day last week and had to be in carcerated. His recovery is confident ly hoped for. The Statesville Land mark of the 10th puts quite a different coloring upon the incident from that which was telegraphed broadcast. Capt. Cowles, it is thought, did not attempt suicide. Of his 011 volition he Went to the Keely or Riley cure. The Asheville Citizen tells of a seri ous accident to Mr. F. W. Graham and his wife one day last week. Mr. and Mrs. Graham were driving down South Main behind one of Mr. Gra ham's tine horses, the animal ran away, starting in front of the Southern Ex press office. It ran into a telephone pole near the top of the grade and Mr. and Mrs. Graham were thrown to the pavement. Mr. Graham was severely hurt, being cut ou the back of the head, and Mrs. Graham was badly bruised. They were taken home soon after. The horse was so badly injured Dr. J. W. Rollings, the veterinary surgeon,said it would have to be killed. Before this could be done, however, the animal died. AflERlCA'S YACHT NOT BEATEN. Why of Cvurse; Who 5ald it Would Not?
