HOW THE SOUTH GREW IN 1892.

The progress of the South in
1892 is tersely expressed in an
article in the February number Of
the Manufacturers Record Magaz-
inc, by R. B. Sperry, who puts the
situation thus: Il suppose that
nobody will ascribe abnormal pros
perity in any section or in any line
of trade for the year just passed.
Certainly NO one can say, for this
period at least, that the South has
been doomed, yet the statistics of
her progress in the face Of adverse
conditions are significant. Her out
put of pig iron increased 245,53O
tons, of coal $50, 335 tons, oflumber
23O,5I+575 feet, of phosphates 49,,
65S tons; her export trade outside
of cotton increased So, 900, 900. her
railway mileage increased 1858
miles, the taxable value of her
property increased 500, $50 So7, the
cotton consumed by her own mills
increased 10, I64 bales, and there
was added to her banking capital
So, $50, 900. If the large majority
of her railways are in receivers
hands, they are at least out of the
hands Of the spectators, and are
being shaped to run on business
principles and in the interest of
security holders. These figures
speak eloquently for the energy,
progress and stability of the South,
and should commend themselves to

Growth of Cotton Manufacturing in The South

blOWlIl OF UUlIUll Mdu IduIuIiiiS III llle SVuillr
When the manufacture of cot
ton fabrics was first established
in New England, the British mill
owners scoffed at the idea OF
effective competition by the Unit
ed States and predicted failure
because of unfavOrable climatic,
economic and industrial con-
ditions. In spite of these fSncied
obstacles the cotton manufacture
ing industry of the United States
is rapidly advancing to the point
of equality with the British manu-,
facturers, having already reached
the two thirGs mark. When cot
ton manufacture was first begun
in the South, New England manu-
facturers assumed practically the
same position taken formally by
their British competitors. How
rapidly the industry is advancing
in the South, in spite of unfavOr-
able predictions, is shown by an
analysis Of the census statistics in
the Manufacturers Record Maya.
zine for February. In 1880 the
South contained only 667, 754 spin.
dies out of the total of 1868, 435
in this country-little more than
six per cent. while the spindles
in the South in 1890 numbered
1,7l2,930 out of total of 14O,SS,-
1O3, or more than twelve per cent.
In the ten years the capital in the
Southern cotton manufacturing in
dustry increased from 1867
to SCI, 124, O96; the hands employed
from O,S27, to 41,4S1; the wages
paid from 1857, 115 to SS,951 OLA,
and the value of the products
from S2l,03S,712 to S46,971,503
The number of looms increased
from IA 1923 to 1921. The South
produces twenty.six per cent, of
all the sheetings made in the
United States, thirty six per cent.
of the gihgbams, and forty-one per
cent. Of the yarn.

The people of the South have
been among the most ardent ad-
vocates of the Nicaragua canal
project, and they have enthusiast
cally urged the support of the en-.
terprise by the United States
government. One of the earliest
and most persistent advocates of
the canal was John L. Williams,
the Richmond Banker, who con
tributes to the February issue of
the Manufacturers Record Maya.
zine a brief article on the relation
of the South to the canal. Mr..
Williams likens the canal to the
Straits of Gibralter and compares
the South with the countries of
Europe and Africa and says that
the South will be the first 10 feel

Mr.. Williams criticises sharply
the opponents of government sup.

ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE.
Mrs. Clara 0'Leary Died Yesterday
Morning Under Peculiar
circumstances.
Murder Alleged, But it is Probably a
Suioide-Domestio Infslicity and i
Bottle Of Poison Figure
in the Case.

The cold and liteless remains OF Mrs.
Clara O'Leary are lying ia kendalls under
taking rooms and Daniel j. c. OLeary,
the huband of the deceased, is lying in the
city prison.
Yesterday morning at o'clock an excit-
ed man came rushing to the home of DR..
Whitlock and asked him to come hastily
to room u in the ouilding numbered 80
North Main street He did SO and he was
not long there when Mrs. O'Leary breath
ed her last breath. The doctor did not
like the surrounding circumstances and
refused TO sign a certificate of death unless
an Inquest was held.
A snort tinle after Mrs. O'Leary's death
Policeman Ben Hatcher arrested the hus-
| band of the deceased and confined him in
the city prison 70 await the result OF the
inquest.
O'Leary is a bar tender at the joint in
rear OF 1l6 West Douglas avenue. ani has
been drinking good deal lately. He
came to the city in September after being
discharged from Company G, Thirteenth
Infantry transferred some time ago from
Fort Elliott, Texas. He lived with Jennie
Towns until some time after Christmas
when they were married by Rev. Bicknell,
a Baptist preacher living on South Main
street, directly across from che City build
ing. The right name Of the deceased, then
is Jennie and not Clara O'Leary. Her
step-iather is named Bennett and he lives
near Anthony; she has brother named
Towns living at Chrisfeld. Harper county,
and a step-sister named Cora Bennett,
better known in southern Kansas as Fred
die Bell, living at Wellington. This same
Freddie is the woman who shot and killed
Billy Morris at kiowa, about two years
ago.
She was Morris mistress for some years
and when he discarded her she pulled a
pistol in a fit of rage and killed him. She
was tried in Medicine Lodge for the act
and acquitted. The deceased was about
50 years old, and it is said she was married
once to man named Higgenbothon. now
living at Muscatine, Ia, by whom she had
four children. When the coroner. was
notified he at once summoned a
jury. who looked at the body and
viewed the surroundings. A bottle was
found in her room containing carboiic acid
but whether she took any of this drug is
not yet known. 1t was purchased at
Wallace's drug store but Mr.. Wallace has
no means of knowing who bought it. That
she took some OF the carbolic acid is uot
unlikely as she not only repeatedly made
the statement that she intended commit
ting suicide, but actually took poison
twice. Oae time recently she took chioro-
form and it would probably have killed
her were it not for the timely arrival Of
DR.. ". \. Noble manager of the Kelley
institute who was called in.
The testimony showed that O'Leary has
abused his wife frequently and slapped
her two or three times night before last
from the effects OF which she began throw
ing up blood.
A postmortem examination will be held
this morning

NO BUSINESS DONE.

The city council met last night In special
session, pursuant to the CALL and all were
present except Martin and Leveridge.
The call was read, which stated that the
meeting was for the purpose OF taking ac-
tion on a petition for pavement.
Casweil moved that the matter be laid
on the table till Monday night, and stated
that be could see no reason why the mat
ter should be railroaded through.
Mayor Carey asked him whether he
charged any member Of the body with
railrosding the matter through, and said
that il he did not his remarks We're out Of
order.
The mayor then. in speech filed with
mettle and feeling, stated that he had been
mayor and member of the city council of
Wichita, and that nobody ever ac-
cused him of being Influenced by
any improper considerations whatever.
He said if any man would accuse him OF
being bribed or taking money or infiu-
enced for financial consideration he would
brand the accusation as falsehood aud
without foundation, Charley Kenyon
also thought the matter should not be
railroaded through, but it seems they were
all talking ahead of time, for Captain
Harris showed that the meeting was not
for the intention OF taking any action on
the paving question SO far as letting con-
tracts, etc, but that certain journal entries
should be made in the city's interest; and
then Casvell offered to second Mr.. Harris
if he made motion 10 that effect, and
everything went along smoothly again.
After some advice from the city attorney
the council adjourned till Monday night
aud all went home happy.
The action that was to have been taken
was In the interest OF no one paving COM
pany. but in the interest of the city for it
seems the new law provides that before
any contract whatever is let, il is neces-
sary for the council to pass a resolution
first that paving was necessary. Ii was
for this purpose the meeting was held.

they desired TO visit the houses occupied

Since writing the above Mr.. Allen sends
in his card, declining to accept the nomi-

his entire sincerity. Nobody ever charged
Joe Allen with dishonesty or with double

double against the Republican nominee.
