MR.. DUNCAN ON EXPANSION.
Mill Men Need the Philippines in
BuSinesS--- Mill Men and
Charleston Money.

General Manager Duncan, of the
Union Cotton Mill and also Of a new
mill in course of construction near
Union, the Buffalo, is q visitor in
the city. Mr.. Duncan is ,ne Of the
best posted and most successful mill
men in South Carolina and talks very
intertainingly on this very importan,
subject to Southerners Yesterday
afternoon a reporter for the News aud
Courier encountered Mr.. Duncan al
the Charleston Hotel and asked hiia
about the mill situation in this State.
Nothing could have been more ex-
presslve Ghau the smile that greeted
this query. 1t was one Of those
br al, bland smiles that indicate
pr sperity and happines, and 1t was
good sign Of what followed.
The mill situation in South Car
olina is all that could be asS ed or
hoped for,' Mr.. Duncan said. 'With
the market from IS per cent. t. 80
per cent. better than it was this time
last year people who own cotton mills
are correspondingly e'uted. | think
the enterprise is merely in its infancy.
If the policy of the Mckinley Ad-
ministration concerning expansion is
followed cut, and | hope it will be,
the cotton mills of the South will be
in clover. The fact of the matter is
that this country of ours is too large;
it produces too much for home con-
sumption and we must have an out
let. The Philippines, the West In
dies-our new possessions-farn;sh a
splendid outlet for the sale Of our
surplus. If we do not control these
outlets for trade, just as England
does in India and South Africa, why
We won't be in the race at all. Wher.
ever you find Southern mill
man you find an out and out ex.
pansionist, and it is bis own
good that makes him so. Take
the Filipinos, the Cubans. the Porro
Ricans and the other inhabitants O
our recently acquired lands; they
will not be manufacturing peopl,
for hundreds of years yet. They are
going to be agriculturists for many
years and will have to buy their man
ufactured products, and is it not CEN
mon sense that the trade with ,hes,
people should be controlled entirel,

tensive scale. His appointment as
district census supervisor was con-
iirmed only few days ago and he
was in tie discharge of his new Office
when the summons came.
Capt. Shell was 70 years old,
man Of pleasing address and marked
ability.
Everybody here was shocked and
panied at the suddenness of his demiss
aud general SORROW is felt.
He was reared on farm, but in
early life engaged in commercial
pursuits and became au efficient busi-
ness man. He entered the Conleher-
alto service and was for a brief period
lieutenant, afterwards serving as
ouartermaster in Kcrshaw's brigade,
Gen. Kershaw being dcvoted)y at
tached to him.
After the war he returncd to his
farm but was elected subsequently
clerk of Court for this county and in
1890 was Democratic county, chair
man. He entered actively into poll.
tics, was elected to Congress and
served for two terms and then dc.
clined to be a candidate for Congress
He was Industrious and faithful tc

! kindly nature, very largely given t.

|by The United States? Now the rea-
Son why Sonthern mill men are ex-
pansionistsis this: 1t has been dem
sohstrated, fer thousands of expert
nients, that The cotton goods for eA-
port must be Of the course, heavy
variety. Finely woven goods and
prinfs vii. not sell IN the far East.
!Hhey have 4been tried and found q
failure. The mills of new England
have about gone out of the business
of manufacturing coarse goods and
the mills of the South are almost ex
clusively in that business. Southern
mill men want the same kind of pro-
lection in the Philippines, Cuba and
Porto Rico that the English mills
have in India and other colonial pos
sessions of the United Kingdom.
''The new mill, the Buffalo, which
we are building in Union is a coarse
goods mill and it will be the largest
OF its kind in the Southern States.
l conceived the idea of building this
mill to catch the market going and
coming. You see, when the ten,
dency of the coarse goods market is
up the fine goods market is down,
and vice versa. Now with the two
mills going We hit the market with
one of them every tine. The new
mill will be very large one. 1t
will have $4,000 sp,ndles. 1900
looms and al annual consumption of
10000 bales of cotton. The product
of this new mill will be almost exclu-
sively for export and the goods will
be shipped to the countries over
which the Americans have recently
taken dominion, to China, Japan and
as far as the Red Sea. No South
Carolina cotton mills have as yet
made shipments to the Philippines,
but they will do so next year.
When asked why the South Caro-
lima cotton mills did not do all their
banking ips Charleston Mr.. Duncan
said:
"Simply because at sll time. of
the year money is not as cheap in
Charleston as in New York. The
time of year when a mill needs a
great deal of money is when the cot
ton supply is being purchased, and
the mill man goes to where he can
buy money cheapest. A man look
ing for money is like a man search
ing for anything else; be- hunts the
best market, and during the greatest
portion of the year money is cheaper
in Charleston than in New York
and the mill men are buying money
in this city. If Charleston banks
will let us have the money as cheap
ly as New York banks do why we
would gladly get it here always"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-News
comes from Manila that Father Nc
kinnon, late of the California Volun-
teers, who was appointed an army
chaplain and sent out again to Manila
with Archbishop Chapelle to assist in
pacifying the natives and accustoming
them to American methods, also went
forward by direction of the Pope in an
important clerical capacity.
About the middle of last month the
following cable message was received
at Manila and published in the local
there:
I'VE leave in a few days. his Holt

you. Impressions are false. My let
tiers will precede me and come direct
from Rome to you. Archbishop Ire
land Endorsed the same. President
Mckinley knows of the present steps
being now taken by the hierarchy Of
the church.
The message was read by direction
OF the Archbishop of Manila, to whom
it was directed, and the Archbishop
that he intended to remain
in his place in Manila, unless silenced
He expressed a longing for an ending
of the rebellion.
