In Alabama the "white caps" continue
to burn ginhouses where the owners
disregard the mysterious notices'that are
posted on the buildings threatening their
destruction If any more cotton is ginued

pound. Monday night near Courtland
the big gins and mills Of Bynam d Ash
ford were burned, IS bales Of cotton, an
immense quantity Of cotton seed, ma
ehinery, ETC., valued at $4,000, being
destroyed. This makes five gins that
have been burned by White Caps in
Lawrence County within 10 days. Far
mers are greatly alarmed and are keeping
armed guards at their ginhouses to pro-
5xsctthem. Thewarhousemen ofRoanoke

For this we thank our friends and
patrons.
We ara happy to announce that
our Spring and Summer trade has
been far ahead of any previous years
business in our history. We presume
that by keeping up the same line of
fire, by our crack shots and hard
hitters, solid value for your money
down, our trade shall still grow better.
On this basis we are laying our
plans for tremendous Fall trade.

We are determined to make this
the banner season in prices to you

Senator Gordon. of Georgia, in recent
interview, says: "Let the people give
the party time to, act. They will soop
see inaugurated a financial policy more
liberal and satisfactory to the p, ?ple than
any we have had since the cruel policy of
contraction was begun twenty years ago.
We shall soon begin to gather the fruits
OF broad and wise and helpful Democratic
policy. We shall witness under Demo-
cratic rule one Of the most progressive
eras in our history, with contented, pros
sperons and happy people. By the fulfil
ment or failure of this prophecy let the
Democratic party be judged. On that
issue am content TO stake my political
fortunes. Let the people wait and see.
sBy their fruits You shall know them.'" ("
This is certainly good advice, and will be
Needed by every true Democrat. Give
& the party time to act, and if it does not
redeem its pledges to the people then
they can condemn 1t.

Mr.. Bryan Of Nebraska, who is MEM
Der of the majority Of the committee on
ways and means, Is trying to have q
graduated income tax made part Of the
tariff bill. If:itis not accepted he will
present it to the House in some form.
The young Nebraska statesman thinks
he has solved what is considered the
most Objectionable feature of the income
tax proposition, the inquisitorial feature.
He would have it made the duty of every
person liable to 8 tax upon hin income to
70 to the officer and pay it and not sub
ject him to being annoyed by agents OF
the Government, which has been sug-
gested as it'll disagreeable feature. He
thinks those that had no desire to avoid
the payment Of the tax would escape the
inquisition o.. annoyance. he will pro-
pose tax on all incomes above $500 at
the rate Of 1 per cent, 2 per cent. on
S., 600, a per cent. on $4,000, 6per cent.
on $25,0OO and 10 per cent. on $4,000.
His plan is 10 have the postmasters in
cities of 10000 population or less collect
the income lakes, and in large cities to
appoint q special income tax collector.
He has been getting some information
from foreign countries on the subject and
thinks he will be able to present the
matter to the House in manner that
will give the proposition the support OF
tho majority. He says itsolves the ques-
ton Of raising revenue and gives the
party an opportunity to carry out the
plan Of tariff reduction to which 1t is
pledged. Ha does not know yet whether
his plan will be accepted by the Demo-
Gratis Of the ways and means committee,
as it has not yet been discussed at any
great length.

The Executive Committe Of the South
ern Interstate Immigration Association
and others interested in the development
of the South, held meeting in Chicago
last week. Hon. M. T.. Bryan of Tennes-
see presided. He read letters from the
Governors of NORTH Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia,
Arkansas and other States approving a
call for Southern Industrial Congress
to assemble in the near future. The
meeting unanimously favored an early
convention of representative Southern
men and instructed President Bryan to
issue call for Southern Industrial
Congress, leaving the time and place dis
.cretionary with him upon further con-
ference with the committee and the
Governors of the several Southern States.
The meeting, however, seemed to favor
one of the Eastern cities for the holding
of the convention. This movement has
for its object the proper presentation OF
the varied and undeveloped resources OF
the South to the people Of the North and
East

It seems little strange with the small
cost Of the material for canning factory
that there are 30 few where the products
for canning are so abundant and easy to
be had. The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record goes fully into the details. It
says that plant having daily capacity
of 600 cans Of three pounds each will not
cost for its entire equipment more than
500, exclusive of the building and the
brick used for the chimneys and to set
the kettles. The equipment for 1000
canning factory can be had for 1900, not
Including bricks or building. Three
hundred dollars will buy the equipment
for a factory turning out daily 10000 cans
Of three pounds each. The average labor
cost in a 4, 600 factory is about $25 per day.
Would not a canning factory pay in An
derson3 If some progressive citizen
would push the enterprise we believe he
could easily raise sufficient money and
make it q SUCCESS. The establishment Of
q canning factory here would create
demand for vegetables, and a number Of
our farmers could raise them for market.

The FAN River Of the South.

Spartanburg County, S. c., the banner
cotton manufacturing county Of the
South, is an interesting section to visit.
The county has an assessed valuation OF
real estate and personal property Of
near..y Sl0,OO0,o0O. This property has
been brought there by the successful
manufacture Of cotton. There are fifteen
towns of over 1000 population in the
county, built up, or rather created, most
of them, by the establishment of one or
more cotton mills.
The following interesting facts con-
cerning the cotton manufacturing inter-
ests of the county, giving the amount of
the capital invested, number Of looms and
spindles, and number Of operatives, have
been gathered: Pacolet Mills, capital
100000, spindles $1,000, looms 1850,
operatives employ yed 800. Spartan Mills,
capital $500, 1000, spindles $1,000. looms
l,iOO, employees $50. Enoree Mills.
capital 100000, spindles $4,000, looms
$40, operatives $50. Converse Mills,
capital 100000, spindles 17,0G0, looms
5l0, operatives $50. Clifton Mills, capital
500, 900, spindles $1,000, looms 1852,
operatives 1900. Whitney Mills, capital
$500, 900, spindles 10000, looms 310, opera
tives 200. Fairmount Mills, capital $780,
pens Mills, capital 36O, 900, spindles 1000,
employees Is. Island Creek Mills, capi-
tai 5000, spindles 1,50O, employees 25.
Cedar Hill Mills, capital $4,000. spindles
1000, employees 23. Pelham Mills, capi-
tai $150, 900, spiDdles 10000, employees
$50. Gaffney Mills, capital $l50,000,
spindles 1928, looms 1872, employees 200.
Beaumont Mills, capital 1000, spindles
$4,000, employees 100. Fingerville Mills,
capital $50, 900, spindles 5000, employees
81.
These figures show that the combined
capital of these mills is over $500, 600 /;
number of hands employed, about 5000,
and the consumption of cotton nearly
SO, 900 bales. The manufactured products
are worth more than double the value OF
the cotton consumed, and the mills con-
sumo more than is raised in the county.
The cotton is worth 81 SOC, 900 year. In
stead of sending it away and receiving
that amount of money it is manufactured
where it is raised and the products soil
for over s.. 100000
The South, it has been frequently sug-
gested, ought to manufacture its entire
cotton crop. Here is one county that is
manufacturing more cotton than is pro-
duced in it, and it is a good cotton county
too. IF it can be done in one county.
why not in anotherf 1t is only ques-
ton of enough counties in the South fol-
lowing the lead of Spartanburg for the
entire cotton crop to be sent out OF the
South in 8 manufactured state. CASTOR
and Alamance counties, in North Caro-
lima, also manufacture more cotton than
is raised within their borders.-New York

According to the forthcoming annual
report OF the. Interstate Commission,
North Carolina took the lead in railroad
building during the year endingJune 80,
and according to statement made by
President Ingalls,, Of the Big Four line,
in his address at the Worlds Fair on
Railroad Day, the entire South is now
entering its greatest period Of railway
development. He predicts that, within
the next 80 years, 10o, 900 miles Of railroad
will be built in the South, which will
give that section nearly 10000 miles, or
nearly as much as the total mileage NJ
the entire country at present. The South
has climate, fertility Of soil and natural
resources which he thinks should greatly
increase its population and wealth within
the next few years. During the last 80
years the railway mileage Of the Southern
States hss doubted twice. In fact, it is
nearly five times as large now as it was
at the beginning Of the war. Texas leads
the Southern States in railway mileage
and IN two or three years more will
probably pass Illinois, the Only State in
the whole country that now outranks 1t.

= Lightning itself could be no swifter
than the sudden spasm of terror with
which Mrs. Dora Hayn was struck dead
at her home in the tenement house at No.
l3 Dry Dock street, New York City. A
kerosene lamp exploded in her hand,
and although there WAS absolutely no
danger and no damage whatever ensued,
the woman fell corpse to the floor be-
fore she had time to utter single cry.
Mrs. Hayn had long had morbid fear
of kerosene explosions, and, curiously
enough, it was her extraordinary care
fulness in preparing the lamp which led
to the accident. Owing to the insuffi-
cient quantity of oil, the lamp began to
smoke and the flame died down. Mr..
Hayn told his wife to run and fetch an
other lamp, but rs he had nearly finished
his work, she replied that she thought
the lamp would last, and began shaking
it in order to wet the wick. The light
fared up and then the flame evidently
communicated with the gas in the upper
part of the reservoir, for there came a
brilliant flash, accompanied by loud
report, and the lamp was shattered into
thousand fragments. AS If struck by a
bullet, Mrs. Hayn fell to the floor in q
heap, and the children, who had
been watching, fed screaming from the
