MIR. HEsTER,s COTTON REPORT.

As illustrative of the panic prices at
which the South parted with its last i'm
mense crop, aggregating 1901, 251 bales,
or, on the basis of the old-time weight
of bales, more than 10, 900, 900 bales, Mr..
Hester points out that the crop of 1898
"a sold for 1927, 100000, as compared
with the 1888, 900, O00paid for 9,035, 600
bale crop of 1891-92. Last years i'm
mense crop actually sold for only SO, OOO'-
600 more than the $500, 900 crop OF
1893-94. 1t will thus be seen that the
South received for the two million and
quarter bales produced last year in eX-
cess of the preceding season less than
5000, 900, or 81 per bale. The South,
therefore, lost money on the last crop,
and learned the lesson that big crops are
not profitable, says the New Orleans
Picayune.
While the past season was bad for the
producers, it was good for the manufac-
turers, as the American mills had a
profitable year, the low prices having
enabled them to secure supplies so cheap
as to make a good profit on their out
turn certain. 1t is, therefore, not sur
prising that the takings of American
mills, North and South, as shown by Mr..
Hester, have increased 626,90 bales.
The Southern mills have increased their
consumption by 144, 1000 bales, having
taken S62, 800 bales.
The remarkable development of the
Southern mills is the most interesting
feature Of the statement of Mr.. Hester.
There are now, he states, 3,177,3 $40 spin
dies in the South, an increase for the
year of 673, ABA Referring to the posi-
bilities held out by this increase of
spindles in the South, Mr.. Hester says;
''On the same basis as the past year,
say one bale consumption to 2. 81 spindles,
the actual capacity of the 3,177, 80
spindles now in the South, old, idle and
not complete, would be 1,107, 076 bales.
II is uob, Iu6ietOI6i unLCnoohEeol0 w 90
sumo that during the season COM
mencing, with anything like fair trade,
Southern mills viii need about 10000
bales"
This is most encouraging statement,
particularly when it is remembered
that Southern mills have increased their
takings 100000 bales since 1880, while
Northern mills have increased theirs
barely 500, The South now con-
sumes more cotton in its mills than
Northern mills consumed in 1870. This
is phenomenal development, and points
Enthusiastically to the ultimate ascendancy
Of the South in the cotton manufactur-
ing industry.

is THE OFFICE UNLUCKY?

The Wilmington Review recalls the in
teresting fact that every Secretary of
State since the Democrats regained North
Carolina in 1876 has died in office En-
glehard, Saunders and Coke. Having
this in mind an old friend of Capt, Cooke
said: II congratulate you upon the APP
pointment, but am sorry that you were
not appointed to some other office. Every
Secretary of State for twenty years has
died in office" This friend might have
said that all except Englehard lived to
be re elected, Saunders twice. Capt.
Cooke will run the risk upon a guarantee
of re- election.

country nearer to the time when the

Faison has long been regarded as one of

Wirth's circus closed very pro-
fitable engagement in Honolulu on
Saturday. The final performances
were given in the afternoon and
evening, and were witnessed by un-
usually large and appreciative
audiences.
Miss Muriel Wirth was rendered
a complimentary benefit at the
matinee, and the reception accorded
the popular little performer was in
deed a very pleasing one. The tent
was packed with children; each
one was presented with a hand
some souvenir photograph of Miss
Muriel, with her best wishes for a
happy and prosperous New Year.
At the conclusion of the little
girls marvellous bareback perform
ance she was presented with several
beautiful floral pieces, among them
being a handsome offering from
Madame Musin, accompanied by a
note of congratulation from the
celebrated singer. The members of
the circus company showed their
appreciation OF the petite artistic by
the presentation of a silver goblet
appropriately engraved. Mr.. St.
Leon acted as deliverer, and Miss
Muriel expressed her thanks in a
neat speech.
At the evening performance the
of the tent was taxed to
its utmost. The program rendered
on both occasions was new and
attractive, evidenced by continued
applause during the performance.

Another Devilish Plot Against the
Hawaiian Republic.
THE SCHEME yIPPED IN THE BUD.
Islands said TO BE Maker OF Conn
bustibles->econdC Contemplated Up
rising in Hnwaii-ouick Departure.

VANCOUVER B. c., Dec. 49,
A plot against Hawaii has come to
light in China. according to advices
received by the Empress OF India,
which arrived from the Orient to-
night.
An American who located st Ho-
nan, China. ostensibly to work up a
business, and resided there for some
months, suddenly took trip to Hong
kong on November 18th, and, return
ing fortnight later, closed his esiab
lishment and departed for good. The
house was atterwsrd found to contain
empty bomb cases some dynamite
fuse and detonators and traces were
found OF the manufacture of dynamite
bombs.
The foreigner, it is reported, had
been ordered away from the Hawaiian
islands for eonspiring against the
Government there, and had taken up
temporary residence in Canton. The
reason for his hssty departure is no
doubt due to a warning. Part of the
time he had a partner, but the latter
left some weeks previous to the clos
ing up of the business.
The China Press says: During
the war between Japan and China an
American on his way to China to sell
TO the Chinese Government an inven-
ton with which 10 blow up the jap
snese ships was arrested while pass
ing through Japan, but was after
wards released. The nature of his in
veution was never disclosed, but it is
pretty certain the secret had been dis
covered, which explains The exist
eDce of the bomb factory at Honau.
''Skilled mechanics who worked for
the bomb fieud claim that they did
not know what their employers were
going to do with the bombs. How
ever, il is foregone conclusion from
the researches of The authorities that
the bombs were being manufactured
by two alleged Americans, and for no
other purpose than to use in a second
contemplated uprising in Hawaii. 1t
was not the abandonment of the
scheme by their friends at Honolulu,
but word sent TO the authorities by
the secret police, which sre thick as
flies in Japan, that msy have IApped
the scheme i'll the bud.

On Saturday afternoon the Y.

The program was one of the best
presented during the season. Beet
hoven's Concerto, in which Mr..
Musin was assisted by Messrs.
Heyitmann. Berger, Rosen and
Brandt, on violin, viola and double
bass, proved a great intellectual
treat. The Intermezzo from Cava-
leria Rusticana brought forward
Mr.. and Mrs. Musin, Mr.. Schari
and Mr.. Wray Taylor. who played
the organ. 1t was most effective
and enthusiastically received. A
due. in which our talented anna
teur, Miss Kate McGrew, supported
Mrs. Musin was a treat. Miss Nc
Crews voice showed no lack OF
power or delicacy when brought
into contrast with Mrs. Musin's.

well known fantasia on one string
was mastery. A piano duet was
given by Messrs- Scharf and Herold
and the performance closed with
