own sheep. In this manner large herds
are got together, and they present a very
striking scene. The work lasts some
times for a week. and even two weeks, The
cost of shearng is very small II a man
has only a small herd, he shears them
himself. One man can shear from sew
enty-fve to one hundred per day One
man of this county boasts of having shear
ed as many as 1855 in one day. After the
wool Is taken from the sheep, IL Is taken
to a cotton press and baled up as cot
ton and marketed in this shape Another
notable feature at these annual sheep
gatherings is the marking of lambs. OF
course, as II Is impossible to identify their
own lambs, this critical job Is left TO the
mothers of the lambs. To do this It Ia
necessary to part the lambs from their
mothers and keep them separate until they
are anxious TO suck, and then by turning
them together each mother hunts out her
lamb by smell. Then they are fairly sep
arated.
The sheep of this county yield about
three pounds of wool at a clipping, and at
a clipping between 50 and 60 cents. Hence
a man who has a couple of hundred head
of sheep has a sure and easy income of
500 per year. 1t comes as easy as a pen
sios..
The largest sheep owner In this county
is Mr.. Miles, Monk, Sir. He has about 5000
ollie is probably the largest sheep own
err in the state. He also owns several hum
dred head of cattle. He is one of those
who have amassed a snug fortune at stock
raising Next TO Mr.. Monk, Mr.. j. b.
Norman, Jr., ranks highest as a sheep
owner. Both these gentlemen regard their
sheep interests as their best investment,
and could not be induced TO sell their
herd.
The greatest enemy TO the sheep industry
is the yellow dog, worthless cur, owned
mostly by negroes, who refuse TO feed
them, and they are forced TO kill sheep
for something 10 eat II the legislature
would tax these dogs out of existence, the
state would soon save enough TO pay for
all the ours and cur owners as well.
The wool crop for this year has not yet
been sold though II has been clipped, 1t
being the general impression that the price
will advance in a few days. When the
crop is sold, between $1,000 and $1,000 VIII
be turned loose in the county.

MINISTER BARRETT SPEAKS.
South Is Dependent on Open Markets
in Manchurfa

New York, June 1.-The regular monthly
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was
held this afternoon, and the feature was
the address of John Barrett, late minister
TO Siam, on American interests in the
Far East" Mr.. Barrett said in part:
THE cotton manufacturers of the South
have millions of invested capital prac-
tically dependent upon the market of
Manchuria being kept open. AT the pres
ent moment we have nothing but an old
treaty with a power that is breaking up
to protect such vested interests. We have
no understanding with Russia and Man
churia is practically Russian, with the
anomaly of the greater portion of the
trade American. We hope Russia will
forever maintain the open door, for she
wants our good favor as much as we de-
sire hers, but we have no positive under
standing that she will respect the Chi
nese treaties.
THE raw cotton which the South is
sending to Japan and which she may
send to other ports in China, is only
light measure of what may be sent in the
future. At the same time it is remarka-
BILE that the most popular manufactured
cotton products In China to-day are those
which come from the Southern mills. The
demand for this line of goods is already
large, but the best judges of Asiatic trade
say that there is no reason why it should
not reach scores of millions.
IF there is a market there which pre-
sents the astonishing condition of de-
handing in large quantities both raw and
manufactured cotton from the same sec
ton without conflicting or competing with
each other, certainly the South should do
all in its power to hold and protect it, 1t
is a conservative estimate to say that the
Southern states should within the next
fifteen years do a business of $25,0000 900 per
annum in cotton, if the markets in China
are not closed against them.
Briefly summarized, our policy In
China should be directed, first TO the pres
ervation of integrity of the empire with
no further alienation of territory; second,
freedom of trade throughout China, COM
monty called the open door, as outlined
in the old treaties, or, third, in the UNI
avodable delimii atoms of spheres of in
fiuence,' such delimitation as will not close
the growing markets to the products of
the United States, either or by differential
rates.
1--WE should stand for the integrity of
China, because we have much to lose and
nothing to be gained by its breaking up
