- General Bradley Johnson is
dead, which meana that another
•tardy old soldier of dm Con
federacy has com to the other
side to answer roll-call, has left
the lest diminishing rank* of him
comrades hen to take his place
with tha steadily lengthening
line yonder.
Hfe ltfn arms an active one of
vicissitudes. He waa prominent
from bis earliest manhood.
Middle-aged men of to-day can
not remember when they did not
hear and know of him as a man
conspicuous in aflaha. He was
always thinking, always ready to
do w speak according to bis
thought and to help to achieve
something. He was a cavalry
oum in peace as in war—on the
move, eager, aggressive, watch*
ml, circling any force of which
he might be part, on advance
gnard and scouting duty. He
was fearless and faithful as he
waa restless. He Sever was
content to be still. He was for
learning, seeing, doing some
thing every day.
nu Activities were in many
directions. JHe «u soldier,
**wyer, farmer, politician.
Journalist, philosopher. Pro
anu may he said to have been
the keynote of his life, purpose
and character. He strove to go
ahead, to move forward and to
take other* with him in obedi
ence to an impulse aa natural as
the impulse of a tree to grow.
Yet he was notun iconoclast and
never undertook to rash rough*
•hod over sensibilities and prej
udices. He was a genial, kind
ly, attractive gentleman who
won popularity and made friends
wherever be went and in what
ever work be engaged. He
made enemies, of course, aa all
active men mast; and he was
right sometimes as all men are;
b«t be was so fortunate as to
outlive most of the enmities and
in serene and peaceful age be
looked back on the old quarrels
and turmoils with calm and
pleasant philosophy. He was
not made to carry malice or
bitterness and be was too wise a
man to cultivate the unhappy
faculty of doing so.
After a stormy and strenuous
youth and manhood he came at
lost to the quiet and ripening
time of life in which he looked
on as one apart.’ But his in
terest was keen to the end and
to the end he was thinking, plan
ning, looking to the future,
learning and unlearning. He
could not linger in ruts. He had
the talcut for understanding and
recognising old mistakes and for
surrendering the most honored
mad cherished errors as be dis
covered them. He wss a familiar
figure among the wide circle of
bis friends acre in Richmond,
where he was a general favorite.
His clear, vigorous comments
on men and affairs of the past
and present always won atten
tion and respect for they were
live, freSh and pleasant, well
Savored. Whether they were
accepted or disputed they were
palatable. The gall and acid be
may have had as • young man
were mellowed and sweetened
with age until no trace of them
was left.
He was a brave and valuable
soldier, a live thinker, an active,
useful citizen, a genidl, charm
ing friend and the sorrow for
his death will be whispered and
sincere, especially in Virginia
and Maryland, where he was
meat intimately known.

Halted Ddbfiic* in Character

Referring to the statement
that Southern milla consumed
more cotton than the Northern
the Norfolk landmark adds,
"the Northern mills still retain s
alight supremacy to the general
total of domestic and foreign cot
ton consumed.”
This is correct. And there is
still another material fact worthy
the consideration of our South
ern mill owners and those con
templating going in the cotton
mill bnsineas. While the South
now coaautuca more bales of
American cotton the valne of the
product of the Northern milla
from the Southern cotton they
consume is far in excess of that
of the product of the Southern
mills because of the larger quan
tity of finer goods produced.
While one pound of cotton will
make two yards of the general
Southern product (we *re not
exact as to this, but it will an
swer as an illustration), ooe
pound will mtke five yards of the
finer goods turned out very large
ly by the Northern mills, and j
tells (or more money per yard,
of conrse.thao the coarser South
ern fabrics.
It occurs to us our Southern
mills should tum their attention
more to the finer fabrics. Some
steps have been taken in this di
rection, but not to the extent
that the future milling interests
of the South demand. Our mills
are too dependent upon uncer
tain foreign markets because of
the class of goods manufactured,
while the home market, the best
in the world, la being more and
more monopolised by the North
ern mills.
The fact therefore that the
Southern mills consume more
American — Southern — cotton
than the Northern by no means
indicates that the Southern mills
are making the money that falls
into the tills of the Northern
manufacturer.
It were time the South were
makiug a decided change in this
respect.
