A Good Riddanoe.

The sudden death Of Prince 20.
banoG the Russian ministee Of foreign
affairs, while travelling from Vienna
to Dresden, Sunday, removes one Of
most important characters in public
life in Europe. At the time of his
death he w.s engaged in carrying
out his piass for disalaclag Eesls.t
ss the dominant European power and
ofplaciAg Russia q prestige above any
o:her on earth. 1t is said that he
could at any time have prevented the
slaughter of the Armenians in Turkey
but it rather seryed his purposes IA
allow it to go on. 1t has never been
his policy to let little matter like
the sacrifice of human life stand in
the way Of the perfection of any of
hi. schemes. 1t il even related that
when recently the young Car became
possessed for the first time of an ar-
tAcntis account Of tLo Armenian
massacroe he was horri6ed, and de-
ternined to alter his entire Turkish
policy, but that Lobanoff restored to
every means in his power to dissusdc
the Russian sutocrat from such q
course, and finally persuaded him to
consent to very slight modification
Of his (Lobanoffst plan vi RGssiau
aggrandizement. Lord Salisbury, it
is said, feared Lobanoff more than
any man In Europe, and his sudden
tsking-off will be hailed as God
send BY the English cabinet. 1t may
mean reversal Of tho whole Euro

though there are men of nerve in the

The Hebrew In the South.

Notwithstanding tho fact that the
position Of the Southern Jew today
is equally as high - that Of his
brother in any section ofthe country,
it is nevertheless true that in attain
ing it he has had to struggle longer
and harder than his people in other
sections. Not only has he had to
overcome the prejudice against his
race and religion, but in addition has
also had 10 contend with tho 90. called
sristocratic pride which regarded
with suspicion all beyond the pale Of
First families" and their defendants.
This State of affairs, but for its
unpleasant results, would have boon
almost grimly humorous, for In many
parts of the South the Jews were
among the earliest settlers, and in
numerous instances their families
have been much longer in America
than the progenitors of those who
ipsist upon regarding and treating
them as aliens and strangers.
With the exception of North Car
olina and Louisiana, tho Jews in tho
South have always been accorded full
legal rights. The latter State, BY
virtue of what is known a. the "Black
Code" of Bienville's time, placed
them upon the same footing as the
negro. In North Carolina they were

4 Motto for the Times.

The cheated term" that has pre-
vailed all over the land for many
weeks past has forced humanity to
adopt many devices and expeticnts
to keep cool, and the Importance of
so doing is recognized as an essential
duty. In all probability the elections
this fall will produce Il cheated term
which will exceed in intensity that
we are now passing through. 1t is
sure to be so. unless the people will
recognize the value of and adopt for
their guidance the motto on the coat
of arms Of Georgia, "Wisdom, Justice
and Moderation" Those who sag
gestcd that motto huildea better than
they knvN,
II h the Golden Rule presented in
a new form. Wisdom is knowledge
properly used; Justice is giving to
c;cry one his due, impartially and
con ormcd to truth: moderation is
that prudent control Of the passions
which eliminates all violence of speech
and action.
Argument is not strengthened bs
abuse or principles g'lsta med by de-
traction. The acceptance of Wisdom,
Justice and Molcratipn as IL. COVER

But for the bad trade conditions
the South would have manufactured
1, 900, 900 bales. a gain Of $4,000
over the previous year. As it Vas
the gain vas II 900, while the North
dropped from 2,0S3,0OO to 1900, 900
bales. During the proceeding year
the North consumed 1920, 900 bales
more than the South; last year only
$4,000 more.
A still more suggestive fact is that
while the North consumed 10, 600
bales less than it did 10 years ago,the
South consumed 503,O0O bales more.
1t is in ''hard times" that the South
shows ils superiority. 1t can man.
ufacturc pro6tably at prices the
North cannot make. That's the
reason the South doesn't need any
protection" on cotton goods. The
only efforts of froc trade in such goods
you'd be to force the cotton milling
industry move rapidly to the South
and to reduce to very slight extent
the big profits of Southern mills.
Taking Mr.. Testers figures, We
find that South Carolina has noarly
1,2Oo, 900 Spinlles ready or almost
ready for employment. At 164
pounds t. the spindle-last years
average-thcsc spindlcs would con-
sumo 1876, 100000 pounds of cotton
or 424, 900 bales of4G4 pounds each.
1t is not at all unlikely that with a
better market this State will this
Year convert into cloth 400, 900 bales
Vt cotton, Q, more than four-scvcnths
ofits current crop and fully half of y
full crop.
What is more, there are number
o"mill enterprises, in various stages
Of development and not included
by Mr.. Hester, which will be at
work before next September; and
still other manufacturing companies
will be organized during the coming
winter. The prospect is that within
Il year South Carolina will have ful-
~ 1900, 900 spindlcs, capable of

Our Cotton Mill Advance.

OF the New Orleans cotton exchange
in his ''ccnsus" of Southern cotton
mills, the summaries of which have
Just been made public. There is no
Sucsswork about the figures: they
have been furnished directly by the
mills themselves.
Mr.. Hester refers to the unfavorablc
conditions of the last year. which
greatly decreased the consumption of
cotton in the m lis Of the East. Not
withstanding the unfavorable mon
ctary and trade influences the South
has continued to increase its cotton
milling industry: great many new
mills have been built and the additions
to the large ones have been large.
In the commercial year 1S95-96
the South has added 55 new mills to
her former number and now has net
total of +75, and 574, 900 new spindlcs
making a total of 3,G9".O0o. South
Carolina has in operation SO old and
s new mills, while t are idle and -
now ones not ready for running. Her
grand total is 50.
During the year the South in
creased it consumption of cotton A.
Si3 bales. and Ct this increase South
Carolina furnished 26, ,I3l, or nearly
two-thirlS. In the same period the
North decreased its consumption no
less than $4,000 bales. While
South Carolina increase was nearly
1900 bales. the largest increase of
any otLcY Southern State WAS only
5000 registered by North Carolina.
To the inquiry by Mr.. Hester:
'lIas your cotton consumption been
affected by the unfavorablc monetary
"o:plitions of the past year, and if%9
40 w1at extent mills with !, S32 600
spindluS replied and mills with 123,-
900 spiudlc$ failed. Affirmative
answers were yi,ch As A., l,O03,OO0
SpindlcS. negative aS t" 1851, 900
and al 900 were doubtful. OF the
epiullcs affected only 10000 were
in Souti, Carolina against :'29, 900 in
SoftR Carolina, and of those not at-
iected j44,0G3 we're in this
State, against 337 ,OO1 IN North
Carolina. The contrast will serve to
show the excellent condition Of our
mills.
NJ. Hester shows Il decrease in
the aner$gr consumption per spindle
in the South, dye to bad trade con-
.iitions. of 2l.TS poun.lt of cotton,
:ymsunting to l3S,OOO bales or ,iGi
po,lHdS p&acI,; this fact showing that
with good trade Southern consump-
,ion would have bccn .O43,OO bales
instead Of. the 100000 actually con-
sumcd.
The statistics Of ..shutdown> show
the advantage of the South over the
North anil Of South Carolina over
Southern States. During the month
Of August, when most Of the North
crn spindlcs were idle. there were 52
Southern mills closed and %, 600

mills at this time is 1,303, 900 bales.
md that it is practicable for them to

Dalles, who on the occasion of the said
opening extended much generous hos
pitality to our people, therefore be it
