COTTON MILLS NORTH A,


SOUTH.
There has been much talk of recent
years of the growing manufacture of
the cotton in the south" writes John
Gllmer Speed in Ainslee's fer January,
land it has even been minated that
the increase in the number of spindles
in the south was menace to the indus
try in the north. Undoubtedly there
was apprehension in Fall River or
thereabouts six or eight years ago and
some capitalists felt the cotton manu-
featuring property in New Eng and
was doomed. Such, however, was the
fear Of the timid and the easily scared.
The cotton industry In New England is
likely to keep on growing and to re-
main prosperous so long as the world
demands such a tremendous quantity OF
cotton cloth, Manchester and the peo-
pie of England will feel the pinch of
southern competition long before Fall
River and Providence. But unquestion-
ably the south is to be congratulated
on the brave start that has been made
in what is in that section a new indus
try There are one hundred millions of
spindles in the world OF these, H.
$4,000 are in the United States and
8 800, eco are in the southern states. So
we see that while in the country seven
teen and one-half per cent of the cot
ton cloth Of the world Is woven, that in
the southern states twenty per cent OF
this is made. This is more than a be-
ginning. II is a brave achievement
But it is silly and timid to have fears
FOR New England. New England Is
thousands of miles nearer the cotton
fields than old Englond, and old Eng
land last year made forty-fiye per cent
of the cotton cloth of the world, and in
continental Europe thirty-one and one
third per cent. was made. Those are
the fields upon which the southern in
dustry win encroach, If it must en-
cr0ach on any. But 1t is likely that the
increased consumption Of cotton cloth
will always keep up with the increase
in the number of spindes There is no
fear in the world, that is. no reasonable
fear. that New England will not be
able to look after herselt-Ainslee's

man managed to extract the information
that his visitors son Willie was about
to start back for Yale, after a weeks
visit home, and that his father had for
gotten his pocket-boo and wanted to
borrow $50. Pete gave a name which
he had taken at random from the build

minutes he had $50 out Of his victim and
he was going west on Forty-sscond

office and found Pete smoking the
cigars of the head Of the firm and talk

detective wanted to arrest Pete at once

explanations were in vain and he finally
had to get out. But that slick individu-

to let him out by rear door, and Pete
got away.

1t 10 said in high Republican circles to- night
that Secretary Finley will recognize the Brown
ticket as the regular Democratic one and
award it tho rooster. This would mean the
