THE soUTH's COTTON MILLS.
Senator TiIIman Says Those of the North
Cannot Compete With Them.

While Senator Tillman of South Carolina
was visiting the mills at Manchester, n. H.,
recently he talked upon the industrial situa-
ton North and South, with special reference
to cotton manufacturing, in which his State is
now largely engaged. He said that the South
ern cotton mills and operatives were prosper
ing.
''Our machinery is modern, while that of
the North is obsolete" he continued. "Our
cotton mills are mostly segregated in the coun-
try, while the Northern mills are grouped in
cities. Our operatives own their own homes,
while yours are crowded into tenement houses.
Can there he any comparison between labor
ers thus situated? Our laborers are satisfied
yours are not. Ours are growing rich, while
yours are growing poor. And there can be but
one outcome of all this-your people must
sink to the level of European labor or your
mills must go South You Northern people
have had monopoly Of the cotton business
for years. You must now seek something
else. We are going to beat you at it. We
have got all the natural advantages and you
have none. You have legislated against
everybody and everything to protect your
cotton mills, but you cannot legislate God out
OF existence nor suspend the operations OF
natures benefcient laws
The North is not satisfied with a protec-
tive tariff that shuts out foreign goods from
this market, and has had the nerve to intro
duce bill IN Congress to protect one part of
the country against another. This Lowering
bill, asking for constitutional amendment
regulating the hours of labor, is a direct blow
at the constitutional rights of the States to
legislate for themselves, and we will fight you
on that all summer, and until we beat you.
We won't have legislation of that kind. The
only thing we have ever lacked in our State
in the way of natural advantages is capital,
and we are now getting that in abundance. =

The apparent opposition of the War De.
partment, to having its administration OF
military affairs connected with the Spanish
American War looked into, is evidence OF
weakness, TO say the least. The guilty orimi-
nal, at the bar of justice, fears investigation,
just what a trial is, lest the testimony may
convict him. The War Department, sub
stantially, occupies the same position. The
concensus of public opinion, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, call for an investigation into
the numerous charges of mismanagement of
the war, but the military authorities oppose it.
If an honest man were charged with stealing
watch he would demand an instant trial
but if guilty he would naturally oppose it. Ii
would be like splitting hairs to find the differ

Covetousness.
From the Christian Intelligeneer.

81 want to increase my pile" is the
creed Of the nineteenth century rich fool.
Covetousness is always looking over neigh
boring fences, and wishing both fence and
neighbor were gone. Covetousness is self
ishness full grown into greediness. 1t is
the swinish trait in fallen human nature
Its peculiar peril is the premium put upon
the power of accumulation, both by the
world and by the Church. In our time a
drunkard could not hold office in the Chris
tan Church, but covetOus man may not
only hold Office in church, but hold the
church in his Office, by means of pocket
book swelled by unholy gains.

A TERRIBLE HURRICANE.
Great Loss of Life and Destruction
Of Property.

4 cablegram from St. Thomas, Danish
West Indies. September IA, says "A boat
from the Island of St. Vincent a hundred
miles west of Barbados, arrived today at the
Island of Grenada, and reports that ST. Vincent
has experienced the most violent and destruc-
tive cyclone ever known there. Kingston,
the capital of ST. Vincent, is totally destroyed.
1t is estimated that 800 lives have been lost in
that island, and that 20, 600 people are home
less. The bodies of the dead are being buried
in trenches. Thousands are starving or being
fed at the public expense.
The amount of property destroyed in St.
Vincent cannot yet be estimated. Every
small house is down, and many large ones
have been destroyed. The demolished build
ings include churches, stores and almost all
the estate buildings. Three large ships are
ashore on the Windward coast and many
smaller vessels are stranded.
No information is obtainable here as to the
results of the threatened hurricane of Saturday
night last. Communication is cut off and the
worst is feared.
According to the latest reports from St.
Lucia, the storm which broke upon the island
Sunday night developed almost unprecedented
violence, being a. companied by tidal wave
and tremendous rains. Numerous landslides
we're cIused and many houses, bridges and
cocoa estates have been destroyed. At least
twelve lives have been lost.
Guadaloupe, the French island in the Lee
ward group, has experienced very heavy
weather. Nineteen deaths are reported and
there have been destructive landslides.
St. Vincent, one of the British West India
islands, has an area of 1872 square miles A
ridge of volcanic hills stretches from north to
south, and in the northwest is volcano called
the Soufriere, in which tremendous eruptions
have occurred. The population III 1891 was
about 41,000 Kingston, the capital, is near
the southwest extremity of the island.
ST. Lucia, another Of the British West In
dia Islands, is in the Windward group. 1t
has an area of 24S square miles. Its chief
town is Castries. The population of the is
land is about 10000.

is twenty one miles long and has an area of
166 square miles. Bridgetown is the capital
of the island, which has its own Legislature,
and is the most important member Of the
colony of the Windward Islands. The popu-
lation in 1891 was 182. 1922. Violent hurri-
canes frequently occur there and cause great
damage. The island is almost encircled by
coral reefs, which render the approach to it
extremely dangerous. A majority of the in

Thomas Flannelly's Fate a Matter of Specu-
 latlOn.
Either Disagreement or a Life Imprisonment Sentence
 Expected.
Unable to Arrive at a Verdict, the Jurors Are Locked Up for
 the Night
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, March 10-The FIannelly case was given to the jury this after noon at 5 o'clock. At 10 o'clock this evening they had not agreed upon a verdict and were locked up for the night. It could not be learned how they stood. but the fact that they did not arrive at a verdict within a couple of hours indicates that there will be either a disagreement or that some of them are holding out for life imprison- ment.
 Attorney Straus finished his argu- ment about Il o'clock this morning. He said the defense did not try to prove that Flannelly was crazy. On the con- trary his act was that of a sane man. and in shooting his father he had acted in self defense John Kerr he denounced as a persurer, who desired to send Flannelly to the gallows so that he could, through his wife, enjoy the property that rightly belonged to the defendant. In conclusion he asked the jury to give the defendant the ben eft of any doubt that existed and ac- quit him.
 District Attorney Harrington fol- lowed in the closing argument for the people. As against the theory of self defense counsel referred to the defend ants action after the murder, when he went to the ranch, procured Winches- ter rifle, barricaded the door of his room and piled up blankets to protect himself from the officers bullets and opened fire when ordered to surrender. According to counsel Flannelly went to his fathers house in drunken con- dition. with his heart filled with anger, and deliberately shot the old man with out cause or provocation. His own testimony in regard to the shooting was unworthy of belief. It had been contradicted by his aged mother, who would not tell lie even to save her son from the gallows, and she had been in a position to see all that oc- curred in the room of blood. He said the defendant, not content with damn ing the memory of his father. had at tempted to blacken the name or his mother by intimating that she had committed perjury. The defendant was referred to as one with debased and demoralized nind-one without the first instincts of manhood, who had repaid wears of generous treatment Dy a most abhorrent murder.
 District Attorney Harrington con cluded his argument at 4:30, when Judge Lorigan delivered his charge 10 the jury and at 5 D. m. they retired to deljhprate
