The New York Mail and Express has
the following TO say of the South as a
centre of the cotton mill industry:
1--WE have heretofore commented hope
fully upon the increasing manufacture
OF cotton in the South, foreseeing that
the entire cotton output of the. United
States must logically pass through mills
below Mason and DiXon's line before
many more years have gone. A large
amount of EeaStern capital has already
found its way into such mills. and much
more will follow 1t. The spirit of manu-
facture is abroad I'm that land. The seed
of enterprise Is sown, and no display Of
sectional or local jealousy can prevent
Its fruition. New England recognizes
this, for her decrease In cotton manu-
factuTe Is not so much Il decrease IN fact
as transfer Of scene. Capital in the
South Will seek such Investments in
greater amounts as the seasons roll
round, until every community in those
States will have it's mill, about which
Will cluster all the elements of prosper.
ity and advancement. The East will
find other work TO do. but 1t must event
unlly rclinQuish cotton manufacture to
the South. with an elimination of long
and costly transportation OF raw mate
rial. II is destiny
Our contemporary has stated the stu
alton precisely and no amount of sec
tional feeling can deter the South in It's

Road Improvement in Alexandria
County.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There appeared in your edition of the
Sth instant an article under the nom-de-
plume of Taxpayer, Arlington P. O."
severely castigating the board of super
visors, the county superintendent and over
seers of roads for their manner of work
ing the same, and the inequality and ap-
parent unfairness in the distribution of
said work. Now, for the benefit and in
formation of our friend, Taxpayer, would
state that 1t is only within a few years
that dollars worth of road tax has been
spent on what every one must acknowl-
edge as the main road in Arlington dis
trict, leading from Washington to Falls
Church and surrounding sections. l mean
the road running west from Rossiyn and
parallel with the river, and on which
travel Is largely in excess of that on any
other road in the county. l presume this
is the road alluded to as being in the
vicinity of Rosslyn, and So well "graveled,
oyster-Shelled and most wonderfully i'm
proved" The improvements made on that
portion of the road lying in the district of
Arlingto are mainly to be credited to the
activity and pubic-spiritedness Of a large
hearted and large taxpaying citizen whose
domiciie is on that road. (Would that such
men were more numerous in our county
The oyster-shelling referred to has been
done under his personal supervision, al
most entirely by his own teams, his own
men and at his own expense. Let Tax
payer go and do likewise, and the prob
ability is that there will be fewer mud
holes for men to fall into when leaving
the rum holes of Arlington. FAIRPLAY.

lions all over the country and get them
interested in the suffrage question. The
other committee. he thought, should be
appointed to draft an address to the men,
beers of the next Congress.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Sfddons then arose and said he de-
sired to dissent from one statement made
oy President Spohn, and that was the
statement that he regretted to see that so
little interest was manifested in the suf-
rage movement He said he thought it a
eood showing that even the number of
men there present had taken so much in
terest In the movement, and he said there
is more interest than is even shown in the
meetings. Then he produced a COPY of
last evenings Star and read the editorial
on the news censorship, saying that The
star In this editorial had said that interest
IN the movement Is increasing and The
star Is IN a position to know, so he told
his hearers.
Hopes for the Future.
Following the reading of the editorial the
speaker INDUCED in comments and said
that because Of the admissions made in it
he had hopes that the day would soon ar
rive when The Star will be in line for suf-
frage.
That's right" shouted a man in the au-
dience. THE Star is always with u.s.
He said he admired The Star, and thought
the paper was sincere in all its publica-
tons about the needs of the District, but
he said he thought, and naturally so, that
the paper Is sometimes mistaken on the
suffrage question.
He said that the star chamber proceed
ings of the Commissioners and also of the
BOARD OF school trustees, as pointed out in
The Star. will help the suffrage movement,
and he, for one. was willing to endure those
methods for year, because then the suf-
rage movement will be so far advanced
that the people will have the right of suf-
frage given them.
President Spohn then appointed the COM
mittees as follows: Committee to formulate
an address to the labor organizations-Mil-
ford Spohn, G. o. Cook and E. J. Rea.
Committee to formulate an address to
members Of Congress--F. L. Siddons,. DR..

Remarks by DR. Reyburn.
DR.. Robert Reyburn was then introduced,
end he told of what action he had taken in
the suffrage movement, and said that when
the suffrage bill was referred to the Com
missioners they returned the bill, refusing
to hear arguments concerning it.
But they did not refuse hearing on the
