Illness of Hector D. Lane.

The news of the sudden illness of Hon. Hector D. Lane, of Athens, will call cut throughout the state expressions of sor- row. It is to- be hoped h's present af- fiction wdla pass away, and that many more years of usefulness remain to him, and through him to the people of Ala bama. He has given his best years to the agricultural Nf1teulsts of the state, whather in office or in the ranks of pri- vate life. While comm ssioner of agri- culture he almost put Alabama on wheels He carried far and wide speci- mems of her products and mineral wealth. No one did more in those days to attract capital and people to the state. The sItate's upbu1lding was ever in his mind. His later efforts have been de- voted to the finding of some plan that would bring a. higher degree of pros- perfty to the farmers. His addresses were marvels of clear and direct reason ing, and his conclusions were invariably sound. Alabama needs his services. and the latest news from Athens holds out the hope that he will recover his GUS tomary good health.

Southern Coiton-MiIl Money.

One of the little sly side cuts of New the southern cotton mills sprang fram northern capital and northern brains. MT. Walter N. Watt, of Charlotte, N. C., had heard this until it made him uAred, and so he began careful and thorough investigation of the subject. Here are his final figures:
 North Carolina-Home capital, 90 per cent; northern capital, 10 per cent.
 South Caro.fna-Home capital, 80 per cent; northern capital, 20 per cent.
 "Gei-Ug la-Home capital, 85 per cent; northern capital 15 per cent.
 "Alabama-Home capital, 75 per cent; northern capital, 25 per cent
 These are the chief cotton manufac- turing states in the south. and MT. Watt does not furnish the percentages of the other southern states, but he says the percentages En those states are even more favorable. In the aggregate and spindles in the south, representing ESQ.,, 900, 900 of capital, of which only 12 per cent. is northern money
 MT. Watt further states that his fn- vest'gaItdons disclose one other fact northern money has yielded and is yielding the best returns when com bined with home money in a mill man. aged by home people. The money en- trusted to industrial missionaries pr commercial carpet-baggers, says MT. Watt, has not brought nearly so good returns. This seems to cover the ground, and The Age-Herald commends MT. Wattis figures to the careful considera- ton of the good New England people, especially to those who declared twenty years ago that the southern genius or spirit or whatever other name they called tt, was not adapted to cotton manufacturing.
 MT. Watt, however, declares that northern capital Is very welcome in the south, and he thinks that any northern man who will take the trouble to inves- tigate the situation will find convinc- ing evidence that no better field for le- gitimate, profitable investment is open anywhere than that offered by the manufacture of cotton in the south. And we do net hesitate, says the RIch- mond Times, to say that we concur en- tirely in that opinion. The Aga-Herald seconds the motion of its Virginia con- temporary

Production fs heavy and each succeed ing month brings heavier figures; fur naces long out of operation are blown in every month; but consumption keeps up, stocks are low. and everybody in the iron trade is hopeful All are, however, agreed tbat prices will not be high alt any time during the year, but all think
 prices will be well maintained. The railroads need rails and iron oars, the steel mills are buying pig iron wherever it can be found, and immense orders for structural material are coming in. Since June production has been increased to the extent of 100000 tons a. weels, and today the output is at the unprecedented rate of 12,OOO,0 tons a year. MT. Shocks predictions in the New York Times are sn a fair way to fulfllment In no coun- try, at no period in the history of the world, has iron production risen to the point this country has now reached.

From the Review of Reviews.

From the Review of Reviews.
 The balance in favor of the United States in the trade of the past year with Europe has been of stupendous dimensions This is due chiefly to the foreign demand for our breadstuffs and other food supplies. In view of the strengthened tariff bar rier, which makes 1t more difficult than ever for Europe to send her manufactures to us in payment for bread and meat, cot ton and petroleum, there is much uneasi- ness in trade circles abroad and not lit- tie open and clustering talk of a combina- tion of the whole contingent of Europe for the economic suppression of the United States. Among other responsible states men, Count Goluchowski, the foreign min- ister Of Austria, has been the most con- spicuously identified with such threats. The puzzling thing is to invent a mode Of retaliation that will not hurt the European peoples themselves very much worse than they can possibly hurt the United States. England, of course, has for a long time been reconciled to the idea of importing the larger part of her food supply. But since the United States has begun to con- pete 50 formidably in manufactures there
The age-herald., 1898-01-05

has arisen no little consternation in the British mind. Many signs point to the passing of the scepter of industrial su- premaey from Great Britain to the united States. The year 1897 has witnessed the easy triumph of the American makers or steel rails over English and all other com petitors in every part of the world. Ameri- can contractors are fitting out electric street railways in England, and various American manufacturers of iron and steel are underselling British products not only in neutral markets, but also in the United Kingdom. Recent reports of the rapid ex- haustion of England's coal supply have added to the prevailing alarm. The ad- vantage which American manufacturers have gained is due not merely to the supe- riority of our national resources as re- speets the deposits of iron ore and coal but also to the vast scale upon which our industries are organized and the superior ity of their appliances.

Small Cotton Mills.

The esteemed Macon (Ga.) Telegraph seems to be afraid of its own shadow. '"The sudden effiorescence of little mills on every hillside in the south would be rIinous to the business" It has not proved ruinous Ito the state of North Carolina, or to the stockholders of North Carolina mills. There are 210 cotton mills in that state, and they are building more every year. And they are chiefly small mills. The Charleston News and Counters greatest regret is that South Carolina has not duplicated those very mills. North Carolina has passed South Carolina fin the cotton manufacturing race. The small mills did it.
 A small mill cannot, it is true, have a lord treasurer and a light honorable manager drawing princely salaries and doing very rttle work, but putting up great deal of style The manager-not 51Tanagers-of a small mill must be content with a small salary until his mill has become aoi6C oiiS, dipu iS tdrIlHS u good deal of money. The policy of North CauoTna is the best policy to pursue in every southern state. The south is too poor to begin with nlfilbon-dolrair mills, and the Telegraph Is mistaken df it thinks its croak will be accepted 6l Alabama It may go dn Georgia, but Alabama wants it not.
 Alabama will, however accept the ad- vice of the Telegraph i'm one respect she will not effloresce on the hEIsides She will do her efflorescing down in the valleys by the side of her incomparable waterfalls and bounding streams, or else she will effioresce over some of her inexhaust5ble coal beds, where fuel can be raised to the furnace door at rates that the Telegraph would perhaps consider incredible. The Age-Hera.d extends its distinguished consideration to its esteemed contemporary, with the assurance that the eff1orescing business tn Alabama shall be carefully and even rfgidly conducted hereafter. The warn Ing came in good time. The Georgia border line shall not be subjected to any effiorescence on it's westerly side.

will be a great improvement In business this year. '.BuHiness in 1S97," said one large dealer twas the best we have ever had. There ss no comparison be- tween 1897 and the previous year. In 1896 we were afraid to buy car of amy thing, and when we did we sold one thEHd of 1t at a profit, another third alt cost, and the other third alt less- cannot recall where we lost a dollar on a purchase in 1897. The tone of the market was stronger. and business more satisfactory to all merchants than 1t had been in years. The present year will probably be still better, because the farmers have more to live on, and despite the low prdce of cotton, they will have more money to spend because of their surplus crops"
 These opinions show there is life in the old land yet. The pessfm'sts of Alabama weEl soon be drfNen into the background by the warm sunshine ana genial rains and growing crops and busy industries of the staIte The man who thinks Alabama is going to the dogs should go to Texas or Oshkosh or some other mournful place. He is out Of place in Alabama. for this state is pre- pairing to make 1898 a memorable and prosp yealr The business men of Huntsville say it will be, and every ether clear-headed man in the state says so, too. There are many prosper ous yelars ahead for the whole country, and Alabama pIlopcses bo jon the rts- ing movement from the start and to stay in it indefinitely.

What are the prospects for 1893? asked the Huntsville Mercury of the bankers, wholesale merchants and oth- CT leading dealers of it's enterprising and handsome town; and to man they replied hopefully, brave1y, and even en- Enthusiastically. No recent year, they say, has opened so promis.ngly. More freight is being shipped in and out than ever before, and, although there are twice as many merchants as there were ten years ago. all are doing well.

The Competitors Error.

A newspaper reporter wishing to do honor to local magnate who had opened a bazaar, had given him the title of "the battle-scarred general" But the careless printer made an error. and the paragraph ist was made to say that the bazaar had been opened by "the battle-scared gen. eral." The furious magnate made a descent on the office, but was pacified by the ex- planation of the editor that the opprobri- ons word was printers slip and that it would be set right in the next issue. In the next issue, however, the printer made another mistake, and the general, on open ing his paper, found the statement in a conspicuous place that what the editor had meant to say was that the bazaar bad been opened by bottle-scarred general
