The long drought VI last year warned
che Florida orange growers and truck
farmers that irrigation was almost as
indispensable in the maturing of their
crops as it is found to be in the Pacific
Coast States, observes the New York
Post. At Oviedo, where there are
some of the finest orange groves in
Florida, irrigation has been success
fully tested, and at Maitland the
whistle OF the irrigating engine is
heard daily during the dry season.
The cost of the machinery required for

LONDON, Cablegram.- financial
proposals in connection with the pro-
posed establishment of On Irish Parlia-
ment were issued to-day. Original clause

fund and taxes; eleven, relating to hcred-
itary revenues and income tax; twelve,
relating to financial arrangement, as be-
tween the United Kingdom and Ireland :;
and thirteen, relating to the treasury ac-
count of Ireland, are omitted from the
new proposals. The new scheme pro-
vides that the revenue shall be divided
into two classes, general and special. The
general revenue shall consist of gross
taxes, Ireland's portion of the hereditary
crown revenues and certain amount of
oaatoirs and exciee duties collected in
|EEu8sod
The residue of the gene lass OF re-
venues. after Ireland's imperial contri-
button shall have been paid, shall form a
special revenue. Ireland shall at her own
civil charges separate the exchequer. A
consolidation fund shall be established.
Taxes imposed by the Irish Parliament
shall form a part of special revenue to
be applied to the public service in Ire
Iaud. Postage duties in Ireland, until
the imperial contribution shall have been
revised, shall be imposed by the ImpeIia
Parliament. If the postoftice revenues
shall be less than the expenditures the
deficiency must be-paid to the Imperial
exchequer out of the Irish exchequer. An
illustrative treasury statement, based up
on the receipts and expenditures of 1892

The factories along the railroad except
the Granite Mills, use stc,m altogether,
and consume great quantities Of wood and
coal. The surrounding country affords
wood in almost unlimited quantity, and
tho revenues derived from its sale is of
great help to the farmers
For long time these mills produced
only plaids, but recently white cloth and
demins have been added to their products.
The plaids weigh about four ounces to
the yard; the demips nine. The profit in
we'll managed factories is one sixteenth
of cent per yard, though, of course, q
great deal depends on the care with which
the raw materials are selected. The pro-

BILE to bad management.
At present the business is suffering
from the financial depression that is felt
all over the world. Governor Holt re-
marked to the writer a few days ago that
he had on hand 500, 900 worth of the pro.
ducts of his mills, for which there is no
market. Another manufacturer has on
hand $50, 900. Still they keep their looms
and spindles running in order to give en-
ployment to their operatives. There have
been no strikes here at any time, and the
owners of the mills say they will reward
the faithfulness of the employs.
Beside proximity to the cotton markets
the South affords another advantage to
the manufacturer of much consequence.
To prevent the threads from breaking it
is necessary in cold weather to have the
factories we'll warmed In the North the
change from the high temperature of the
mills to the severe cold ontsidc, so sudden
III going out at noon and at night, is so
disastrous to the health ofthc operatives
ss to cause death in a great number of
cases. In the South this is not the case,
and consequently the longevity of this
class is greater. From the Humanitarian g
point of view it can be said, let all the
cotton mills come South.
Cotton factories are springing up all
over the State, and are to be found in
Guilford, Rockingham, Davidson and
Randolph counties; also in the cities OF
Durham, Raleigh, Winston and Charlotte.
It is rapidly becoming one of the chief
industries of this part of the United
states.
