Southern Competition.

Already the cotton spinucrs of New
England, who were pioneers in that line
of busiue on this continent, arc lc.

Southern mills. The treasurer OF the
Massachusetts CO ton mills, at Lowell,
and Wbiitcuton mills, at Taunton, says
the South is rapidly gaining on the
North in the matter of manufacturing
enterprises; that the condition of affair
have SO completely changed in this iii
rcction that be is absolutely driven out
of his own State and he is going South
to build mills in ord, to hold his export
trade. His goods, he says, can be made
much cheaper In the South on the 'amc
machines. We neither desire nor cxp.ct

a New Process for Gold Extraction.
Z One difficulty which ha, always
been encountered IL developing gold
properties iu Georgia, North Carolina
and Alabama has been that at little
beneath the surface tho gold bearing
ores became suiphurets, and no satisfac.
tory process for treating them to extract
small amounts Of gold have been found.
The sulphuret ores are In largo quanti-
ties In all Of these Sites, carrying from
ten to City dollars or even moro in gold,
the problem being, therefore, to handle
q large quantity of meterial and secure
the small proportion of gold in it.
Recently A. NJ. Beam and Hugh Cal.
savuu, with ). 8. Hamilton, of Athens.
Ga, have been experimenting with @
now process which they hayo patented,
s~d ecgsged FfoY.N. s gsat,, the we'll
known chemist, OF Atlanta. to examine
and report upon it. In his report Pro.
fessor Pratt states that the experimental
plant was under his direction for one
week. The orc used was quartz carry
ing considerable quantity of pyrite. A
sample showed it to contain O.95 per
cent. of gold, silver and copper, the val
ne being gold f32 IA, silver $l.91 total
coin value Of one ton ere $35 O5. A trial
run yielded $12.16 gold. or 1888 per
cent. of the total, aud another run gave
$12.40. After passing through the new
process this ore yielded 1855 gold.
Tho process, it is understood, is not
complicated nor expensive, and if such
results as this may be had in regular
practice it will do much toward develop
ing the gold prop rites in these States.

It has been found in the raae ct
primitive river names in the Old World
that a syllable meaning water occurs
once at least, and IL many instances
several times, in the same name. From
this, philogists have been able to trace
successive conquests, as each conquer
ing tribe added it's own name for water
or river to the syllables already form
ing the names of streams within tho
conquered district. The same thing
has happened in this country, as the
whites have tackled the word river to
many Indian names already including
the word.

made an assignment to G. M. Harding, of
Franklin, and George B. Parmcc, of
Hamilton, of their four great paper mills
at Hamilton, of their real estate in Butler

less than than So, 900, 900. 1t is estimated
that liquidation by forced sale would

came ut once apparent. Carlisle imneds
lately went over to the whito House and
for rearly two hours discussed the bear
ings of this action with the President
without reaching any positive conclusion
as to the line of action to bo adopted.
The Conference was rene we'd at Woody,

Iu view Of this announcement at the

CABINET DISCUSSES 1T.
WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Two hours were
consumed by the cabinen Tuesday in
dis nscing the new phrase of the silver
question and other matters demanding
attention. Two confcrc' ccs Monday be-
tween the President and Secretary Car.
isle simpl fed mittcrs to some extent.
Although the discussion, it is said, took a
wide rarge it was necessarily brought
b'ck to one important and unmis. .aksble
poi,t, that the exec utive had no power
in the premises, Congress alone being
II lc TO deal with measures of relief. It
,as plain to the cabinet that tho monthly
purchase of silver must be continued or
Csc Congress must be convened in
special SIS ion Immediately. As the
President had decided to call Congre 8
together in the carly part of September
to ocal with the financial situation and
manif, sted no intention of changing his
statcd purpose, the project of an earlier
S ssion of Congress. it is understood, was
dropped. S, far as the continuance of
the pu chase of silver bullion under the
Sh,rmaL law was concerned it was point
ed out that little more than two months
remained before Congress would convene
in extra ssion and that during the in
tcrvcning time the silver to be purchased
would be only 0,OOO,0 600 ounces, COM
paratively small amount in view Of the
previous purchases; but the best way to
deal with tho qu stion was to wait the
coulse of events for two months longer
1t was generally agreed to and it was
with this view dominant that the meet
ing adjourned.

How Georgia Truck Farms Pay.

bow Georgia truck Farms Fay.
Major g. NJ Ryals has truck farm of
only 12s acres noar Savannah, Ga, in
Chatham county, from which he clears
between $1,000 and $4,000 annually. The
place is considered to be one of the best
managed farms in the South, and shows
what can be done with Southern land
where skill and judgement are used in
cultivating the sIi!. List year the Gu
cumbers were the best crop raised on
Major Ryals's land. Potatoes were plcnti
full, but sold at rather low prices. The
cucumber crop, however, made up for
the loss. Cabbage, beans, tomato, s. bcets
and carrots sold fairly well, and, while
40 fancy prices were received, these crops
all paid fairly we'll. This year potatoes
have been the leading crop, and up to
date Major Ryals has shipped 415O blr-
rels off the sixty acres he planted. He
haa shipped nearly 1000 crates of cab
bage also, and about 500 to 600 crates
of smarl crops, such as tomatoes. bects,
peas, cucumbers, carrots and others. In
all he has taken nearly 10000 packages
OF truck of his place, and he estimates
that the total amount will be at lie st 1S, :
600 packages. Most of the vegetables go
to Northern markets, and his freight bills
average $500 year. The farm is oper-
ated by thirty men, under three over.
secrs, and thirty mules.
