Baton Rouge.

1t is pretty generally understood among the
Democracy Of this parish that an unpledged
delegation Is to be sent to the Democratic
State convention. They have canvassed the
subject considerably, and this conclusion,
they think, is the wisest and best for their
parish and State. Under these circumstances
they will endeavor to select delegation OF
their best men, who are known not to be
pledged to any aspirant, and who will go into
the convention free to vote as the best inter-
ests OF their State and section may dictate
without regard to any particular candidate.
The Democracy Of this parish do not wish to
be hampered by any pledges whatever to any
candidate, nor will they make any to control
the action OF their representatives in the con-
vention.- Baton Rouge Advocate.

THE SOUTH AS Il COMPETITOR OF ENG

three hundred mill managers. overlookets,
and their friends interested in the cotton in
dustry.
The subject under discussion was the chances
of EnglOnd in the matter of foreign competi
tion. After speaking of the natural sdVaut-
ages of the United States for producing cotton
aud feeding operatives, the lecturer called ct
tention to fact of ipfnite Importance which
is lost sight of by those who consider the
power Of America to enter into competition
with England.
They look simply to the Northern mills, bot
there is 8 cotton industry growing up io the
Southern States. 1t is only equai at present
to oDe-teDth of the entire United States cotton
industry but the Southern manufacturers
claim TO have advantage over the Northern
manufacturers. They have an abundant sup.
ply of water, which is available all the year
round, iustesd of being subject - interruption
in the winter owing to frost. They have cot
ton close to their doors; they have more
favorable climate, and they have equally good
ports of shipment, and they can com pete with
their rivals. II, then, the Northern uills are
