The Anniversary of the Uniform Rank May
Bring Out All Military.

The celebration of the anniversary
of the Uniform Rank of knights of
Pythias on Monday will probably be a
much more important event than was
at first anticipated.
1t is probable that the other mill
tary organizations in the city-the
Rifle men and Naval Reserves-will
turn out in honor of the Pythans,
who have so successfully represented
Brunswick on many fields.
If the other commands turn out,
which has not yet been fully decided
on, the parade will be an imposing
one, and will do great honor to the
anniversary of a grand organization.

Between 1887 and 1897 the conSump-
ton by Southern mills has steadily pro-
crossed with but one break, in 1894,
and the increase has been from 401, 49,
bales to 1,O42,671, or 641.219 bales,
equal to more than 159 per cent. In the
Northern mills the increase has been
from 1,71O,OS0 bales to 1,SO4.6SO, or
81, 900 bales, equal to per cent. while
there have been wide variations from =
19O,766 bales in 1892 to 1,6O0.2l1 in
1896. Although Northern mills consum-
ed more cotton last year than III the
preceding year, there was a decrease
of $4,000 bales compared with 1872.
Judged by these official figures, the cot
ton manufacturing interests of the North
have actually declined during the last
five years, while during the same time
the South has nearly doubled its cotton
mill business In 1887 the South con-
sumed burt 10 per cent of the total used
in this country; in 1897 the South con-
sumed 1876 per cent. These figures re-
fer only to American cotton. But there
was falling off even in the small a
mount of foreign cotton used exclusively
in Northern mills.
During the year four mills were burn
in the South, and eight were eliminated
to 463. To this must be added nineteen
new or uncompleted mills, making the
total 1872 There was, moreover, an in
crease in spindles, old, idle and not
complete, of 15S, 753, and gain of spin
dies at work of 49,, 267, the total num-
Der in operation being 3,419,663.
The meaning of the, conditions thus
shown is plain, and are well described
by Mr.. Hester. who says:
"They are the inevitable result of the
sharp competition between the two Sec
tons and the certain and steady removal
of the cotton manufacturing industry
nearer to the source of production of
raw material. 1t is an economic strug
gle, with the odds i'm favor OF the South
and the superiority of capital in the
North. The final outcome, as foresha
dowed by what has already taken place,
is certain. The natural protection of To-
cation must, in the end, triumph over
the constant drain necessary to maintain
competition under less favorable condi-
tions. This, in fact, is a truism, and
the statement is made i'll no sectional
spirit but as a self-evident proposition"
The disposition of Northern capital
to embark in cotton milling in the South
is becoming more and more pronounced.
Every new mill is an advance, as it
usually is equipped with the latest i'm
proved machinery. The mills are getting
closer and closer to the cotton-feds.
to the enrichment of the South, but not
necessarily to the impoverishment Of
the North. The time is very far
distant, indeed, when the North will not
manufacture cotton, but it has lost its
pre-eminence in that respect, and it may
expect to see the South gradually APP
proach it and surpass it in the number
of bales used every year without, how
ever, ceasing to be a mighty factor in
the worlds industrial economy.

GETTING THEIR DOSE
THE RUSSELL GANG PUTS GOFFS ON NE
GRO PRISONERS.
They Voted For Men Who Not Only Destroy the
Fair Name of the State But lnhct
Unusual Punishment.

A new torture-for every serious indig-
nifty is Il torture-has been invented by
the Russell city administration of Will
mingtOn. The public know that the
Russell wing of the Republican party
captured the city government in the last
city election, against the better element
of the Republicans and the Democrats.
This gang has procured a lot Of iron
gaffs or spurs to put OH the city prison
ers, and on Friday last the new scheme
was put into effect. The negroes of
course demonstrated seriously but it was
ordered by the powers to be done and
it was done.
Said one Of the prisoners: ''If we
were thieves or criminals, it would be
right, but we are only in here for be-
ing drunk or disorderly."
Captain Bryant told them it was none
of his dongs, as he was acting on or
ders II was opposed to using these
spurs" said he, land / came very nearly
being discharged on account Of it."
One of the prisoners, with voice
trembling with emotion, said: And this
is what we get for voting the Republican
ticket. I'm fool if ever do it again"
City Clerk and Treasurer Il. B. Rice,
who was looking on, replied: ''It is not
the Republican party that is putting
these gaffs on you, but the Russell gang.
If l were you fellows l would refuse
to work with those things on"
The prisoners buckled the ''gaffs" on,
and with an injured air obediently got
into the carts and went out to work
on the streets. says the Messenger

TIE WORLD is CROWN BETTER
CHARITY and Children.)


To take a surface view one would be
apt to reach the conclusion that the
world is growing worse and worse. The
daily papers are filled with the sad story
of woe and crime and misery until the
startling headlines that used to fill us
with dismay hardly attract our attention.
Murder. rape, arson, suicide, these have
become painfully common. And yet
where sin abounds grace does much more
abound. Institutions for the rescue of
the perishing, the feeding of the hung
ry, the clothing of the naked, abound
on every hand. Men listen as they
never listened before to the orphan S
cry. Hearts are opening that were
heretofore closed against every appeal
for help Mission debts are vanishing
like the mist of the morning before the
liberal offerings of the people, and the
gospel is being preached with as much
power as ever in the history of the ages.
After all, we rejoice in believing that
the old world is nearer to God than it
has ever been.
