The offer by W. j. Edwards of $780,
900 for the Atlantic and North Carolina
railway having been refused by the
joint legislative committee last night,
it now appears 10 be understood that
he will increase the offer to $500, 900.

The feature in the hearing of the
case against the acknowledgements
ed railway commission-yesterday
was the rebuke which Speaker Conner
of the house gave to Senator Ward, Of
Beaufort county. 1t was eloquent and
evere. Ward did not want to allow
the counsel for the Wilson's to be
heard before the joint session which
is virtually trying the case. 1t was
for this attempted denial of a consti-
tutional right that the speaker left his
chair and administered the rebuke.
The omnibus pension bill adds over
800 soldiers and soldiers widows to
the pension rolls. 1t gives some forty
or fifty pensions for 1898. The State
Veterans Association desires that the
! pension claims be regularly passed on
by the county boards but the legisla-
ture always ignores this wish.

jacquard looms, and there are some OF
these looms in use in Columbus, In
Spray, North Carolina, and Nashville,
Tennessee. Ingram carpet mills flour
ish in South Carolina and Alabama and
one is building in North Carolina. The
silk manufacturing industry, which has
been found profitable in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, begins to be intro
duced in the South, notably in Virginia
and North Carolina. The former State
has a silk mill at Norfolk and North
Carolina has one silk mill running and
two building. Jute manufacture begins
also to attract attention. Jute bagging
mills are located at Charleston, South
Carolina, Galveston, Texas, Charlotte,
North Carolina, at Covington, Frank
fort and Louisville, Kentucky.
These are very encouraging facts.
With diversified manufacturing and di-
versitied farming the new South Will

THE YRTSTS.

The trusts are making great changes
in many ways. One of the ways is H.
Illustrated by the experience of the town
OF Edinburg, Indiana. Edinburg had a
starch factory which employed seventy
five men who got 5000 a week. The
farmers of the vicinity had a profitable
market for their corn. Now the starch
FACTORY, which was worth about $685.
900, has been sold for $4,000 to com
pany which is trying to get a monopoly
of the business. The factory has been
closed as the company does not have to
operate all the factories it owns in or
der to make the amount of starch the
market requires. The seventy-flve en-
ployes have been discharged and most
of them have moved away. The mer-
chants have lost good customers and
the farmers have lost the home market
for their corn, which does not bring
them as much money as it did Real
estate has deprecated in valuation and
Edinburg is a bighted town.
Of course such incidents or accidents
as these don't prove that trusts are not,
on the whole good things, but it is
hard for the people of Edinburg, In
diana, to see that the starch trust is
good thing for them The CONNER
cial travellers who have been thrown out
of work by the trusts also have their
doubts about the usefulness of the great
combinations. The problem is large
one, and will require time patience and
several other things for its solution,

SURPRISING PROG EiSS.

| 1t is, perhaps, the general impression
that textile manufacture in the South
doesn't amount to much except the pro-
| duction Of a few lines of coarse cotton
goods Those who have this impression
will be surprised by some revelations
made by the Textile Excelsior, publish
ed in Charlotte North Carolina. 1t APP
pears that Charlottesville Virginia, has
two factories, one of which makes fine
knitted underwear and the all-wool
military goods gray and blue, such as
are worn by cadets and soldiers. Much
of the product of the latter factory has
| been used recently In the Federal army
| There are thirty-one other wooden mills
| in Virginia, which make cassimeres,
kerseys, linseys, blankets, jeans and
wooden yarns. OF similar wooden mills
North Carolina has seven, Georgia five,
Mississippi two, Texas three, Arkansas
seven, Tennessee twenty-seven and
Kentucky twenty The Textile Excel
sior adds that the southern woollen mills
now in operation are of capacity suffi-
cient to supply the needs Of that entire
section in the way of wooden cloths
The number Of knitting mills is large
and increasing. At present there are
teen, North Carolina nineteen and South
Carolina ten, In the one town of
GAINESVILLE, Georgia, there are four
knitting mills making plain and fancy
underwear of fine grades of cotton and
of silk Some twenty southern knit
ting mills produce cotton underwear.
The main product i s cotton hosiery,
some of it of fine quality in various
styles and colors. The woven cotton
product is in great variety. In North
Carolina alone there are thirty-four
mills, with four and six box looms, pro-
ducing ginghams, checks, plaids, and
over sixteen that make other plain and
fancy colored goods. Two of the North
Carolina mills make fancy dress goods
of silk and cotton, with zephyr ging-
hams, fancy white dress goods and 9TH
er articles in large variety. In the one
city of Charlotte, says the Excelsior,
1--WE can show a Investigation in cot
ton goods manufacture that is whole |
