at him, hitting him three times-once
IN the side, once in the breast and once
in the leg, but none of the wounds
are dangerous. Other farmers appear

Southern Cotton Manufactures.

lNtN 1Ork Evening Telegram.
The founder and manager of one of
the most successful cotton mills in
the southern states eSteems that the
south has a natural advantage of from
ten to fifteen per cent as compared
with the north in the manufacture of
the heavier classes of goods. The best
proof that the advantages enjoyed by
Southern manufacturers are not mere
ly theoretical, but real and solid, will
he found upon the balance sheets of
the southern mills. MIR. Ii. Z. Ham,
melt, of the Piedmont fac
tory, in South Carolina, the
authority above referred to, af-
trims that most of the well-built
and well-organized miles in the south
make a pront OF from fifteen to twenty
per cent. This is not the extreme
limit. SO many mills pay better than
this that MIR. Hammelt's estimate
may safely be accepted as an average.
vi the lO,5OO,OOO cotton spindles in
the United States, New England has
$685., OS7-oVer four-fifths of the
whole-while the Southern States
have only 542,O48. The people OF
Georgia, who are beyond all COMPARE
son the most enterprislng, progressive
and wide-awake in the south, were
among the first to see the profit which
must surely follow the Manufacture
OF cotton in the field which grew it
and some years ago extensive mills
were built at Columbus, Atlanta and
other points. More recently the mon
eyed men Of South Carolina appear to
have become thoroughly alive to the
Importance of and the benefit to be
derived from the spread of the in
dustry in question. There are now in
the Palmetto state some twenty odd
cotton manufactures, having an ag-
gregate capital of between three and
Iour million dollars.
AS the greater economy of home
manufacture lies chiefly in the cheap
ness OF raw material, against which
there are no commissions and
only trivial transportation charges,
the southern manufacturer will for
the present find his greatest profit in
the heavier fabrics and yarns in which
the chief element of value is the ma
terial. In these fabrics the southern
article is already competing success
fully with English products in the
markets of the world.
The American makers of coarse cot
ton cloth were, long before the war,
able to send their products to China
and India in competition with the
outputs Of English manufacturers.
This advantage they still possess,
and, what is more, they are
now able to compete on equal
terms in the making of a finer class
of fabric. New England manu-
features have no occasion to fear the
rivalry of cotton mills in the southern
states. The two will supply widely
different fields. New England mills
have already given up coarse goods,
and are producing prints and fine,
fancy, high-priced stutfs. The market
for heavy goods still exists, however,
and is every year growing larger. The
south's struggle will not be with New
England, but with Old England. Low
ell, Fall River, and Providence can af-
ford to look on without fear of injury
to their local interests.

Crawford was declared elected by
forty-eight majority.
Hall alleges that seventeen China
men, twenty-five Germans, and thirty
nine Polanders were not qualified
voters who had voted for Crawford.
Hall will claim that Cinnamon cannot
be naturaliZed and that the Germans
and Polanders have not been proper
ly naturalized, because their declara-
lions were made before the county
clerk instead of before the judge of a

An Original Fraud.

NJ. A. Stanford. j. f. Collins. Geo
p. Phillips, of Aibline. Texas. tele-
graphed to Col. Amos p. Foster YES
terday that they had signed the bond
of VIM. Rheinhardt, postmaster at
that place, but that they had never
qualified to the same before any one.
although the bond sent to the inspec-
tors office here for investigation
showed the jurat attached of well
known notary public in Fort Worth.
They have also telegraphed the au-
thorities at Warrington city, asking
that this fraud be at once Investigated
and that they be protected. The
question is ever puzzling the head of
Col. Foster now: "Who is postmaster
at Abiliney" The parties who have
committed this fraud have set prec-
dent in Texas, as it is the first case
of the kind known to the postal au-
thorities in this state. Uncle Sam

not otherwises." Capt. w. Z. Smith,
