THANKS to the efforts of such men
as Ed. Whitmore, of the LEDGER who
visited Fargo last June with the Ar
kansas Press Association, Memphis,
Tennessee, has responded in liberal
fashion to the cry for help from the
fre-swept regions Of Michigan. In
Eodern sentiment and public spirit
Memphis is far in advance of most
Southern cities. Her people have
been brought by their very affections
into nearer relations with their North,
ern countrymen and the outside world
in general, and they have profiied BY
it.-[FargO Cd. IT, Argus, Dist.
1t is was not necessary for anyone
from Memphis to visit the Northwest
in order to invoke sympathy for the
Michigan sufferers. AS a matter Of
humanity, our people were ready Ia
give something without any special
appeal or request. We should feel
very grateful for the muni6cent aid
rendered 10 time OF our extreme dis.
t-ess, and hold ourselves ready to give
literally and cheerfully TO any COM
muRity that may appeal for assistance.
A few people contributed rather lib
orally to the Michigan sufferers, but
Memphis, as a city in proportion to
wealth and population, did not do any
thing to brag about Two thousand
or twenty-five hundred dollars was a
very light contribution.

interviewed yesterday at Washington,
stated he had yet to hear of Senator
Of either PARTY who expected the Sen.
ate to organize except by the election
of.a Democratic presiding officer. He
expects the committees will be organ
lied on a compromise basis, with an
equal representation Of both parties
on all committees. The Democrats
most generally spoken Of for President
Of the Senate are Senators Har-
riS, Of Tennessee, and Bayard,
Of Delaware. The former is
one the ablest parliamentarians and
accomplished presiding officers ia the
Senate. Still we would not be sur
priscd if a Northern Senator was ac-
cepted for the place, and in hat case
it is likely to be Senator Pendleton, of

Cotton Manufacturing North and
South.


The growth Of cotton manufacture
ing in this country is. a subject OF
deep interest. Nearly one-third ofthe
cotton crop of the United States has
in recent years been manufactured at
home. The increase ofthe production
of cotton has been marked, but has not
outgrown manufacturing. In 1875 the
crop amounted to 3,832,99l bales.
The amount manufactured was 1884,
DOL bales. In 1890-Sl the crop
amounted to the Unprecedented figures
Of 6,600,0 900 bales, Of which l,892,0OO
bales were manufactured in the Uni
ted States. Until last year the in
crease in manufacturing kept about
even pace, North and South. In the
year 1880 the amount manufac-
tured in the United States reached l.
$4,000 bales, of which the North is
credited with 1,625,0O bales, and
the South $4,000 bales; while in
lS80-Sl the whole number of bales
manufactured in this country wat
1902, 900 bales; the North was credit.
ed with 1851, 900 and the South
2O5,OO0 bales. During the last named
year, it will be observed hat while
the increase in manufacturing in the
North was less than 4 per cent, the
increase in the South was over 20 pei
cent. This may be an exceptions
showing, but is believed to be the
beginning of an era of manufacturing
in the South which will continue till
the, preponderance in favor of thu
Northern section no longer exists
The impulse given to this industry il
the South is supposed to rest upor

pointed to stand on the Macadamized
road, and three others were stationed
at short distances apart in a neighbor-

further on stands the town poor house
and farm Of Millburn. After the

responding went forward and wits.
