BILE temperature, cotton can be manu-
faotured per cent cheaper In the
South than in New England. In addi-
ton. there are other advantages which
strengthen the position that Southern
industries are paying ventures. These
results have been attained under the
disadvantages arising from inferior
equipments. nnd now that Southern
min owners are learning that true
economy dictates modern improve
ments, It is reasonable TO expect that
returns In the future will be even
more gratifying.
This much for the experience of
South Carolina in the experiment OF
manufacturing home products, and
certainly the results are not discour-
aging. Texas is tho largest cotton
growing state in the Union. 1t is esti-
mated that this year there are over
four million acres planted in cotton.
and there are at least 100000 sheep
that range the broad prnirlcs. Here is
material for the manufacture OF tex
tiles. and 10000 acres Of wheat will
furnish grist to many mills. A com
stantly growing demand occnsloned by
natural increase in population and by
immigration, give assurance OF home
consumption OF home products. In case
OF excess OF supply the Incompatible
aud multiplied outlets OF the state
make the commercial advantages OF
Texas second to no other in the South
west. In this state there is an abund-
anee OF raw material. Here is cheap
labor a home market and ample trans

VIEW MExIcO JUSTICE.
How u judge Pronounced the Death
Penalty.


The following is from the court re-
cords at Santa Fe, N. NJ:
Sentence of death pronounced by
Judge Kirby Benedict on Jose Maria
Martin, convicted of murder"
Judge Benedict said:
Jose Maria Martin, stand up. You
have been indicted, tried and convict
ed by a jury of your own countrymen
of the crime OF murder and the cour.
is about to pass upon you the dread
senterce of the Law As usual thing,
Jose Maria Martin. 1t Is u painful duty
of the Judge of the court OF justice to
pronounce upon n human being tho
sentence OF death; there Is something
horrible about IT, and the mind natur-
ally revolts from the performance Of
such a duty. Happily, however, your
case is relieved of all such unpleasant
features. The court tplSes positive
delight Ia sentencing you to death.
You are a young man, Jose Mati1
Martin, apparently Of good constitu-
ton and robust health ordinarily you
might have locked forward TO many
years OF life, and the court has no
doubt you have, and expected to die
OF r glcen old age; but yOI nre now
about to be cut of In consequence OF
your own act. Jose Maria Martin, It
is now the spring time; in a little
time the grass will be sprirring up
green ir these beautiful valleys and
on these broad mesas, and on the noun
tain sides flowers will be blooming,
birds Will be singing their sweet car
OILS, nature VIII be putting On her most
attractive robes; life will be pleasant
and men will want to stay; but none
or this for you. Jose Maria Martin;
the birds will not sing their carols Tor
you, Jose Maria Martin. When these
things come to GLADDEN. the senses OF
men you will occupy a space 6N2 be-
meath the sod and the grass and these
beautiful flowers viii be growing
green above your lowly head. The sem
tence OF the court is that you be taken
from this place to the county jail that
you be there safely kept and securely
confined in the custody of the sheriff
until the day appointed for your exc
cuticn-be very careful. Mr.. Sheriff,
that he has no opportunity to escape
and that you have him at
the appointed place at the appoint
ed time--untll-Mr. Clerk, what day OF
the month does Friday, about two
weeks from this day, Gomez March 90,

the 92d day of March. when you viii
be taken by the sheriff from your place
of confinement TO some safe and con-
venient spot within the county, and
that you there be hanged by the neck
until you are dead.
And the court was about to add,
Jose Maria Martin. may God have
mercy on your soul. but this court will
not assume the responsibility OF ask
Ing an allwise providence 70 do that
which jury OF your peers has re-
fused to do. The Lord could not have
mercy on your soul. However if you
affect any religious belief or II you are
connected with any religious organiza-
ton, It might be wei for you to send
for a priest. or your minister. and get
from hlm--well. such consolation as
YOU can, but the court advises you to
place no reliance on anything of that
kind. Mr.. Sheriff, remove the pris-
