ern State. The point selected for loca-
ton is Gadsden. Ala. and a dispatch
from that place gives further particu-
lars in the matter. Representatives of
the have been in Gadsden
some months, and arrangements for the

been purchased. contracts have been
made for building material and plans
for the buildings have been completed.

and, the dispatch says, build a model
manufacturing town, with public schools
for the benefit of the operatives and
their families" The factory buildings
are to be finished by next July 1, and
will be in operation by Nov. 1.
This is but an incident of a movement
which has already assumed large pro-
portions. and is likely to become much
more extensive. 1t is an outcome OF
natural laws of trade which have SO
often proved important factors in civil
ization. The main inducements which
are drawing cotton factories from New
England to the South are cheap raw ma
terial, the cotton being grown near to
the factory, cheap fuel, good native help
at comparatively cheap rates, and good
freight and transportation facilities.
There is no sentiment in business. and
such inducements as these are likely to
cause a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS move
ment of manufacturing capital, and es-
pecially of cotton mills from New Eng
land and other Northern States to the
South.
Further interesting evidence of the
natural manufacturing of the
South is afforded by a map published a
few days ago by the Charleston News
and ourier showing the location and
extent of the water powers of South
Carolina and their value for
turing purposes. The entire State is
dotted with stars which mark the loca-
ton Of these water powers. Many of
them have already been partially de-
veloped. There are about sixty cotton
mills in the State, with 629, CTS spindles.
while many others are still wholly I'M
developed. 1t is estimated that in the
aggregate there are enough good water
powers in South Carolina to run 5000. 900
cotton spindles. North Carolina is as
rich in water powers as South Carolina,
and has a much larger number of cot
ton mills. though much smaller on an
average, and not containing nearly as
many spindles in the aggregate as those
| of South Carolina. With such a wealth
of cheap power as this, and with cheap
err raw material and other advantages
above referred to it would seem almost
| certain that the next ten or fifteen years
will see the cotton manufacturing in
dustry of the country transferred al
most wholly to the South. Via effect
this will have on social conditions is a
subject for interesting speculation. but
that it will contribute greatly to the ma
terial development Of the South and the
general prosperity of the country there
can be no doubt

THE TRAVELLING LIBRARY.

A writer in the Forum gives an inter-
esting account OF the so-called travelling
library system of New York, which has
been adopted under the legislation of
1892. The system is under the direction
of the regents of the State University.
The books are purchased by a limited
appropriation made by the State. I'm
der the direction of the regents, ten Ii
braries of one hundred books each were
at first selected with reference to their
educational value, in which an even bal
ance is maintained between information
and amusement. the percentage being:
Fiction, % per cent; history, IS; biogra-
ply, 10; travel. IL: science and useful
arts, 9: sociology, 5. and so on. These
books are put into cases made with a
view to shipment and are loaned for
six months to the trustees of any public
library in the State or on a petition of
twenty-five taxpayers when no library
exists, upon the receipt of SIS to cover
the expenses of shipment and of the
cases. If h books are Daned where
there is no public library, an owner of
real estate must be named in the petit
ton who is responsible for the books.
The later lists have contained fifty in
stead Of one hundred books. which per-
mits the more frequent appearance OF a
new library and a wider range OF choice
to the borrower. In addition to the gen.
eral lists. which now number eighteen,
there are nine special lists of twenty
five volumes each, the books in which
are devoted to economics. agriculture,
French and United States history. The
first year that the travelling library was
in good working order 101 libraries were
sent to ~eighty-six places, forty-three on
petition to communities in which there
are no public libraries. In all, 11,90O
volumes have been sent out. When the
article was written forty-four libraries,
a~ggregating APO volumes, were out. and
ffty-seven had been out n had been
returned without serious injury or loss.
Statistics collected show that there was
an average, of 29O readers to each one
hundred volumes in six months. and
that Is, 1856 books had been req by 4,S92
borrowers 1t is interesting to note that
in biography, Lincoln is more read than
any other; indeed, than all the rest.
When Indiana comes to consider seri-
ously the subject of furnishing libraries
for the people, the New York method
and it's success is we'll worth a careful
investigation. Beyond books of refer
ence, there is a great advantage in such
a change of books as the plan secures,
as it precludes the necessity of purchas-
ing the same new books for a hundred
or more different libraries. SO that the
~r-ocl,ro Thousand dollars in
travelling libraries would secure much
the same results as the expenditure of
ten times as much none to keep up
the same number of libraries b y the
usual system.

1t begins to lool. as if the committee
on arrangements for the Inauguration of
the State officers in Kansas had made
a stupid blunder in emitting ex-senator
Ingalls's name from the programme.
His friends openly charge that it was
done at the instance of senatorial candi-
dates who fear his presence and a
speech from him would have a tendency
to stampede the Legislature to him for
Senator. That kind of prescription is
very apt to react. and in this case it is
making friends for Ingalls,.

COTTON MANUFACTURING IN THE

An interesting feature of the business
situation during the last decade and es-
pecially during the last two or three
years.. has been the development of cot

movement of Northern capital in that
direction. There has been great prog
ress in some other lines of manufacture
ing in the South, but the development of
cotton manufacturing has peculiar sig
