TREATY RATIFICATION.
China and Japan Met Through Their
Representatives and Agree
on Terms.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-An official
dispatch from Toxic received at the
Japanese legation this afternoon
states that the ratifications of the
treaty of peace between Japan and
China were exchanged at Guifu on
Wednesday.
No change was made in the text
of the treaty as originally concluded
Taking into account, however, the
recommendations made by Russia,
Germany and France, the Japanese
government has agreed to renounce
the permanent possession of Lioa
Tung peninsula on condition that
the arrangements regarding the
terms and form of renunciation
shall be reserved for adjustment be-
tween itself and the government
of China, This latter stipulation is
construed to mean that Japan will
not surrender the peninsula until
the suitable indemnity shall have
been paid and thatit may have been
agreed between Japan and China
that the possession of Port Arthur
itself will be retained by the Japa-
nese for a term of years extending
beyond the date when the indemni-
ty has been paid in full, thus assur-
ing to Japan not alone the payment
Of the indemnity itself, but also
sufficient time to safeguard herself
against anything like war of re-
prisal,
1t will be remembered that the
treaty or peace itself provides that
Wei-hai- Wei shall be held until the
first 1OO,OO0,OOO Of the indemnity
and the next two annual Install
ments have been paid, so that with
added guarantee Of the possession
of Port Arthur, even though tenn
porary, the japanese government
would appear to have taken every
possible precaution for the future.
The foregoing statement is Off
cial, coming direct from Toxic by
cable The understanding is that
it embodies the reply which Japan
recently gave to the protest OF
Russia and the ALLEGED powers.

MUSICAL TREAT.
The Texarkana Band Furnishes an
Hours Entertainment tOa Good
Sized Audience.

The band concert as advertised,
came off on Faiday night, and the
opera house was comfortably filed,
by the citizens cf our city. The
concert was pronoudced decided
success both from a financial and
musical standpoint. The numbers
by the band, including solos by
Messrs Buroker, Frank Church and
Lee Hoy, we're faultlessly rendered.
The vocal solo by Mr.. Peck was
fine.
Mrs. Carter, Miss Mamie Hynson,
Oracle Finch and Misses Matte
Shut and Matte Tilson, all sang
well and received praise from the
audience in the usual manner of
hand clapping and floor pounding
Mrs. M. D. Tilson, nee Miss Fergu-
son, gave a choice reading of "Aunt
Saphronio Tabor" and received APP
plaush during the reading. Miss
Cuggie Hynson's rendition of Yer
dis II Trovatore as also the obliga-
tor "Happy Days" could not have
been improved upon.
The advance and retreat Of the
Salvation army, by the band,
brought down the house.
A disturbance in the 'loft, came
very near causing a stampede dur
ing the performance.
The spokesman for the band an
nounced in front of the curtains be-
fore the entertainment closed, that
the band would give open air con-
concerts on Saturday night, provid-
ed our people would make a small
contribution toward helping them
pay the expenses actually incurred
in getting these entertainments
up,
The people all left well pleased at
the entertainment.

''The East with its present enorm-
GUS capital and establishments may be
generous. and should not look down
with contempt on its infant rival. But
the South must and viii toll ON, and
in the main must depend on her own
resources and build up her own estab-
lishments. and while any contributions
to our capital from outside would be
always thankfully received and mater
iallv aid and advance us, we must de
pend in the main on ourselves. Let u
be understood that the chimerical
idea of New England's great mills be-
ing moved South is supremely rldicul-
Gus and not to be entertained 10y any
sane man for a moment. Should the
Southern mills, as they now bid fair
to do, outstrip these Eastern mills for
a series of years in the line of net prof
it's, no new mills may, in the course OF
time, be built in the East, but those
now there will be operated as long as
they continue to pay even a small per-
centage of profit on the capital invest
ed in them, and so redundant is CAPT
-. in the East that this percentage
may be very small indeed.
The South if she succeeds, and ev-
ervt..lng now points to fabulous sue
cess. must emphaticalIy depend on
l. rself and her natural resources and
on her ability to generate sufficient cap
ital needed to build her own mills. In
the olden time she generated capital by
the thousand millions to be invested IN
slaves and lands, to make more money
to be invested in more slaves and
lands. She once purchased her slaves
from the East or Eastern shippers.
Machinery for cotton spinning and
weaving New England now stands
ready and willing to sell to our people,
and these machine slaves, unlike those
of human flesh and blood III bondage,
are more profitable servants than were
our slaves of the olden time. All of
this machinery is now made in the
East, for which there is no good rea-
son. The time is speedily coming
when establishments for making the
same will spring up in our midst.
Cheap iron and coal, cheap labor and
cheap living, together with a con-
slant and most certainly rapidly-in-
creasing and accelerated demand for
such machinery, even now point this
section out as proper place for such
enterprises"
When North Carolina begins build
ing mills, one of which will spin more
than a twentieth of its entire product,
it means a great deal. Next year the
Henrietta Mills viii spin one-fifteenth
of the crop the State has made this
year, and this is the way the State
has adopted Of serving notice on the
balance of the world that hereafter
her cotton product can be bought only
after it has been spun by her own peo-
pie. She will have no raw material for
export. Weavers in other States may

that they have made for themselves
and their makers an enviable reputa-
ton in the leading markets through
out the country The fine sheetings
made in these mills are standards of
excellence in the counting room and
the home.
The Henrietta Mills No will branch
out in still finer goods and make fine
fabrics for bleaching and print cloths,
and with the up-to-date equipment
and thoroughly up-to-date manage
ment of the Henrietta Mills, these new
Henrietta fabrics will win additional
fame for this North Carolina enter
prise and additional fortune for those
whose brains and money established
the enterprise.
The Henuwtta Mills sought and
found a local habitation in one OF the
best sections Of the State ia the
southeastern section of Rutherford, in
the shadow of the Blue Ridge, as at
eventide it lengthens its shadow to-
ward the sea, in that rolling Piedmont
section OF the State, noted for the
health and yigor Of its people.
There has been notion among New
England capitalists that the South
could not compete with them because
of climatic conditions. They have of
ten given expression to the opinion
that the Southern operatives would be
troubled with malaria, and that no
where outside Of the North could great
factories be managed successfully.
Not very long ago a gentleman who
held this opinion came through the
South to see the Southern cotton fac
tories, and confirm his theory. When
he reached this point, one of the
healthiest communities IN the world,
and saw a healthier community of
mill operatives than he had ever seen
before in all his life, his theory was
knocked into a cooked hat. He found
that the mill operatives here enjoyed
the mountain breeZes, which none but
the wealthy can enjoy in the great
manufacturing districts Of New Eng
land or old England; that they were as
intelligent and capable as any, and
that they were happy, and contented
. in their work and their surroundings.
The owners OF Henrietta Mills, the
largest mill in the State, have furnish
ed an object lesson of how well South
ern men can manage great enterprises.

is worth untold money to the whole

this fact, but it is gratifying TO North

of coming together of Southern
brains and Southern money.

There is sometimes inspiration ard al

lotte, owned and managed by as sober,
temperate and careful men as there are
in the State, dates its origin to the fes-
tive wine cup. 1t was cold, blizzardy
night some years ago when the stock
holders Of a Charlotte bank met in an
nual session. After the business which
called them together had been dispensed
with they still fingered, talking in a gene
raj way about Charlotte and lis future.
After awhile one gentleman suggested
that before they braved the cold

from then until now it has been running
on full time. The Victor Mills is one Of
the largest and most successful plants in
the State. 1t is situated just a square
from the Southern passenger depot in
Charlotte and in its mammoth 3story
building, spindles are running day and
night to the new tune Of Southern pro
gress twisting tie feecy staple into
smooth waTps and yarns, which fad a
ready sale among the Weaver5 OF the
country.
The Victor Mills are manned by a
competent corps Of officials It's pres

lotte's most successful heterogeneous
features. Mr.. A. G. Hutchicon, com

ing up the Queen city and the Old North

The Victor was the second mill built
in Charlotte and the fact that half
dozen mills have been built there since
its erection shows that its founders were
doing more than they ever dreamed
for their town and community when
around the festal board they proposed
and MANNED its erection
The Victor mills are equipped with
1876 spindles and 300 twister spin
dies, and around these, two hundred OPP
peratives are busy day in and day out,
making a class of yarns, Nos. 30 to 3Os,
and from to 10 ply, which finds ready

Mrs. b. Tanner was formerly a
salesman in Charlotte, where he
learned frugality and economy IN the
conduct of business matters. Mr..
Tanner is a native of South Carolina
and went to Charlotte at an early age
and engaged as salesman with the mer-
camille establishment of Elias d Co
hen. tits a part of his nature tomake
himself an essential in the conduct OF
the business in which he is engaged.
This characteristic was manifested in
the capacity of salesman and justified
the high salary paid him by his en-
ployers, a part of which he saved and
invested every year. This character
istic he carried also with him into the
more responsible position of Secretary
and Treasurer and practical manager
of the Henrietta Mills, and much of the
success which has attended the estab
lishment of the enterprise has been
due to Mr. Tanners efficient manage
ment. Mr.. Tanner is yet awhile a
young man, but he is easily among the
foremost cotton factory managers in
the State.
