posed for remodcling the party organiza.
ton In such way as to transfer the coll.
tr"l OF the party machinery from tho
party managers to the voters at large I
tender by resignation of my position rs
Chairman and as q member of the COM
mittee. Coming as il does just
prior to the expiration of my term of
service, my resignation is simply the ex-
preston of my personal dissent from the
position assumed by the committee.
1t Is unnecessary and under the cir
cumstances there will scarcely be Occa-
sion for me to say that this action upon
my part is absolutely irrevokabie. Yours
very truly, -"F. w. NJ. Cutcheon."
Secretary Smalley's letter of resigna-
ton was of a similar tenor. In an inter-
view he stated that the refusal Of the
committee to indorse the plan OF the sub
committee for reorganization Of the
party had nothing to do with his action.
That is matter upon which loyal
members of the party might honestly
Ciffer," said he, "and I could say moth
ing against their action in rejecting that.
bnt when q packed committee declined
to indorse the president In his attempt
to uphold the platform of the party
felt it necessary, in order z. retain my
self-respect, that enter protest, and
the only way could do this was to send
in my resignation. have long felt, in
common with other members If the
party, that we should have better Or
ganiZation, as in fact we have had prac-
tically no organiza ton in the past. The
plan suggested for organization was prac-
tically that of Mr.. Cutcheon, though
Messrs. Mullen, Heffron and Winston
have labored with us in preparing it.
Mr.. Doran seems to have had an idea
that in preparing this plan we were in
some way attempting to get control of
the party, and so packed the committee
meeting yesterday for the purpose of de-
feating it as well as the Endorsement of
President Cleveland. After the plan of
the committee had been laid on the table
l submitted a shorter plan, simply chang
ing the terms of committeeman by proTid-
ing that instead of being chosen at each
convention on the eve of campaign,
they be selected after the campaign, say
at the beginning of the year, and hold
Office for two years, which would take
them through the following campaign
and enable them to do good work. Even
SO mild measure as this was laid on the
table; but, as say, men may honestly
differ in regard to mstters of this kind,
and had no hard feelings on this score,
but when a Democratic state central
com,aittee positively refuses to stand by
the platform of the party they are sup
posed to represent there is nothing for
me to do but step out. dent propose
to sacrifice my self-respect to a lot of
peanut politicians Who may chance to
get control of central committee merely
for the sake of ktsGirg position. I
don't know what action other members
of the committee who we're in favor of
il dorsing the president m9y do / have
not consulted with any of them"
Another meeting of the state central
committee will probably be called at
once to elect chairman and secretary.

COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.

The Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more, contains some interesting figures
this week in an article upon the cotton
manufacturing industry in tho South,
tho extent OF which comes somewhat as
surprise to manv who arc not familiar
with the advance made in this business
during the past few years.
The artinlla statos that in 1880 the
South had 16l cotton mills with 667,s45
spindles. BY 1890 they had increased =.
number to 955 mills, with i,T0d, 555 spin
dies. The South now has 400 mills, wi tn
2,763,S79 spindles and GO O52 looms In
addition to this the mills projected will
have between so, GOO and rs, 600 spindles
The increase in spindlcs last year was
over 100000
North Carolina leads in the number
of spindles, with 655, COO in operation in
1894, while South Carolina leads in
looms with 1920. North Carolina has
the largest nun Der Of mills, but, as the
majority of them are small, the aggre.
gate number of their spindles leads
South Cardinals by only $4,000.
The capital invested in cotton manu-.
featuring in the South has increased
from Ssl, 976,713 in 1880 to s97, 90, 900 in
1894. Thirty-two mills have reported
their dividends for 1893, the average
being S.s per cent, in addition to which
most Of Thorn laid aside surplus fol
repairs or extensions. Two mills paid
90 per cent, one 18 pet cent, while the
others ranged from 12H to 4 per cent.
