fy and wear. Tn these linas America is Ei5.N CriginAting Ter own dektgne and does not need to copy from any body. In spite of the absurdfsiee of the Wilsi9n bsla, by which the foreigners were enabled to rush in a large quantity of their cloths at a low valuation, the American mills are able to hold the market in cll3akings be- caugs of the decided superiority of their goods, and only a. very small proportion of improved m9telial is used in the manufacture of cloaks in New York or elsewhere"
 On a corner of Broadway is new 13- story building devoted to the manufac- ture of cloaks and suits for women. The owner was one of the pioneers in the cloakmaking industry i'm New York. He was willing witness to the superiority of American woolemty in certain lines of womeris wear. He said:
 ''The cloak makers Of the United States are using less foreign goods than ever before. Each year shows a decrease in the proportion of imported fabrics used. Great progress has been made here in the last few years in the manufacture of woolen cloth, and the result Is that our domestic factories are turning out ma terial that is far more reliable and more fit for this market in weight, finish, style and makeup than anything we get from abroad. When over in Yorkshire not long ago I had with me sample of American chinchilla, and invited pro posals from several of the English fac tories for furnishing a large quantity of the same weight and grade of cloth. To my surprise their figures were all too high. The price they named was the same that I was paying at home, but with the duty added the cost of the cloth laid down in New York was much high CT. As matter of course I continued to buy chinchilla al home. As rule, cloak makers are not using over 5 per cent. of imported cloth. About the same pro- portion holds good in ready made suits for women In suitings, the same excel lence in style, quality and good service chana cterizes our domestic woolens. In any but the most expensive grades the foreign goods cannot compete. Of course, in a tailor-made suit costing $75 .or $l0O, imported cloth is generally used, but even this is more fad than a matter of real merit. Suits of high-grade American cloth, silk-lined and artistically made, can be sold at retail for $25 to S30, which is about what woman will pay for the making alone of her imported cloth suit. I suspect that womens tailors, like those who make mems clothes, favor the for eign cloth on account of the larger profit they can make out of it rather than be- cause of it's superiority over the domestic goods. But it is a fact that an enorm- ous quantity of American cloth is now worn by American women, and the quantity increases year by year as styles, patterns and qualities improve"

SPIRIT IN ALABAMA.
She Is Determined to Surpass Georgia And South Carolina in Cotton-Her Example Awakening Enter

New York Mali and Exprass.

New York Mail and Express.
 Alabama, where the progressive spirit of the New South is wrestling hard with Bourbonism and ancient prejudice, has just taken a forward step which merits wider notice than it has received on Saturday night of last week the governor signed a bill exempting cotton factories hereafter built in the state from taxa ton for ten years. The significance of this Is that, while the leading men of Alaba- ma appreciate the extent of the direct and immediate financial sacrifice in volved, they also understand that the time has come to make substantial pld against the sister sta.es of the south for the manufacturers of cotton, 1T Ala bama is to realize her dream or 1nuus- trial development and commerclaa lh- portancG.
 This new law is pregnant with promise, It looks beyond today, and tomorrow, anu recognizes the policy on which is based primarily the greatness of the south anu east-inVestment by one generation TOT the benefit of its successor. It means that the spirit which Is already responsl- ble for Alabama's position In the nining field now seeks new worlds to conquer, and is determined to place that common wealth in the van of southern progress.
 Ihe time is ripe and the hour Is produc- ing the man. The south is already fac or in setting the price for the inon trade of the world. It is exporting iron to Japan, to Calcutta, and even to Eng land. It is officially reported that since last July Alabama has shipped abroad more than 100000 tons of pig iron, and that the outlook for the current year IS still more hopeful The cotton mills ot Georgia and South Ca.olina as we have heretofore pointed out, are working over time. l. is no longer denied that an lm- portant economic movement already in augurated and bound to grow IS the transfer of the eastern cotton manufact- uring industry nearer to the centers Of produc ion, thus reducing the cost of ma terial to the mill and taking advantage of conditions which render labor some what cheaper without being underpaid.
 Alabama is determined to surpass Geor- gia and South Carolina in cotton. Her example, as set in this exemption law, will awaken and incite enterprise else where. The tide of southern industrial progress will follow the lines of southern production. Cotton now sent 10 Eng land will be manufactured at home. Pros perity will follow thrift, and the New South will gravitate more and more to- ward the policy of protection, as it real izes the benefits and necessity of this in its new and buster life. Ii is written in the book of prophecy.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

A Crowd of Negro Crap-Shooters Cap
 tGred by the Police.
 At 11:30 o'clock last night Officers Pat ton, Culpepper and Mcdonald raided a crap game in the rear of the K. c. M. and B. saloon on Third avenue, between Nine teenth and Twentieth streets.
 There are supposed to have been ten negroes engaged in their favorite game of chance, but five succeeded in getting away.
 The five arrested are Parish Wilson, Tom Smith. Ed Dijon, Pete Simmons and Anderson Housewell. They are all charged with violating section 530 of the city code, which forbids the playing of a game of chance for gain in public place.
 The three officers entered the saloon from the rear doorway and the negroes were alleged to have been gambling in the corner on the floor. As soon as the officers were seen, it is said, Wilson grabbed two dice, and the money also disappeared. About $1 was found.
 The bartender claims that he did not know of the game in progress and ap- peared on the scene soon after the off cerS, thinking the negroes were fighting.
