power; the steam capacity of England
is said to be $500, 900 horse pow err;
OF the United States 3.800,O00 horse
power; from these estimates it will be
observed that the mechanical force Of
the water power in North Carolina
is 10000 horse power greater than
the aggregated mechanical force of
all the steam engines of the great
government of England, and but
100000 horse power less than the
magnificent steam power of the
United States. The artificial pro-
duction of steam force equal to that
of the water force of North Carolina
would cost not less than 500, 900.
(This was in 1879
The. manufacturing value of the
Roanoke is estimated at 10000 horse
power; of the Yadkin 255, 200 horse
power, s.being sufficient to turn 1O,-
200, 900 spindles, which are four times
as many as are found in Massachu-
setts, and far more than in all of the
factories in the United States
The forces of the Catawba is given
at 184, 900 horse power, or capacity
of 100000 spindles. The aggregate
force of the Haw, Deep and Cape Fear
rivers, is given at 100000 horse
| power, sufficient to turn 100000
| spindles. Speaking of the improve
! ments made by the State along the
Cape Fear and Deep rivers for pur-
poses of navigation, the Professor
says:
Here there is force of $4,000
horse power, or 100000 spindles,
already rendered available, and yet
wholly unused, although it is within
the cotton region.''
When we come to consider the
vastness of the natural agency, in
tor, placed within our hands for wise
and great purposes, do we not feel
recreant to duty and blind to destiny
to refuse to avail ourselves of it?
We must sooner or later devise
some plan to develop the material in
terests of our State, and we cannot

our midst unless we offer special ad-

You may refuse to pass this bill to
give the people an opportunity at the
ballot box to say whether they desire
the power to encourage manufacture

taxation for period of years, or not,

the time will come when the people
will demand it in self-defense, and
the precious time we now lose can

INCONSISTENCY.

We fought to free people long ago,
10 break the shackles from a race Of
slaves
Our bravest heroes slumber in their
graves.
The priceless gift OF freedom to beStow.
We gave our sons and brothers to be slain
That men might taste the sweet, of
Liberty,
Bnt how shall we surrender them again
To subjugate race that should be free?
If you would be consistent, answer me;
How can you pay for ruddy human gore,
For helpless men and women DER the sea,
And not deny the work you did before?
You claim the land is yours; you won it
fair,
1t is the spoil of war; and yet you pay
A score o. millions to the vanquished
there
For something you have brought. What
is it. pray?
Methought that trafficking In human flesh
Belonged to ignoraG It and heartless men!
How be it then? Has chaos came again,
Aud must God civilize the world atresh?

100000 CLEAR PROFIT.
That Represents the Profits OF Judge
Philips in One Transaction.
News and Observer. }

The friends Of Judge Fred Philips,
of Tarboro, will congratulate him
upon his good fortune By which he
recently made a cool hundred thous-
and dollars. The Tarboro Southerner
says the Judge has recently sold the
last of his land adjacent to Norfolk,
Va. for 100000.
In 1874. when this land was sold at
auction, it was purchased by Judge
Philips for $4,000. A few years ago
he sold a portion of it for s52 900,
and now he sells the balance for $l1o.s
900. This gives profit OF 1925, 1000.
The interest on the investment for
the twenty five years and the COM
missions paid for sellipg the property
may be said to reduce the net profit
to 800. .000---a very comfortable
fortune. all due to the wisdom and far
sight of the wise and successful
Judge.

The Superintendent Of the Oxford
Orphan Asylum, Col. w. j. Hicks,
makes the following suggestion to
the farmers Of North Carolina, which
is worthy of earnest consideration
That you select this year rich spot
on your farm, plant it in what you
think can be raised most profitably,
tend it carefully and conscientiously y
and send the proceeds or the produce
to aid in the support Of the two hun
dred and fifteen boys and girls in the
Oxford Orphan Asylum, or the chill
dren in some other orphanage in
North Carolina. This is done in
other States and know the farmers
in our own State are as charitably
inclined as any that the sun shines
upon" Col. Hicks suggests, further,
that if each farmer could get his son
interested in this '.orphan's acre" il
would teach him a valuable lesson o'
unselfishness, Of generosity and oi
service 10 others.

STOP WHINING.

The newspaper man does more for
his town and gets less for it than any
other man, and considering the cap
ital required, the capacity, hours Of
work and nature of the service per-
formed, is more poorly remunerated
on the average than men in any other
vocation-Danville Register.
The newspaper man who feels him
self so badly treated as that ought to
get out of the business. There is no
string to him and he had better get
out than to stay in and whine. His
doing the latter doesn't increase
public respect for either him or his
ness-Charlotte Observer.
We quite agree with the Observer,
and yet there is the quality Of truth
in what the Register says. But it is
Just as well not to tell even the truth
some times-in cases like this where
it does no good especially. And after
all may it not be as much the fault OF
the newspaper publisher as that OF
his constituency if he is not apprecia'
ted and rewarded as such enterprise
deserves to be? In the language OF
the Concord Times, which expresses
our sentiments perfectly:
We have no sort Of sympathy for
that class Of newspaper people who
are constantly whining and who til
their columns with disgusting whim'
perings about their unappreciative
constituency Nine times out Of ten
/ such editors do not deserve patronage
and spend their time talking politics
about the court house or whittlinG
dry goods boxes. Any man who
commands respect and deserves
patronage will get as much OF both ii
j the newspaper business as in any
other business. Pluck, perseverance,
ability, honesty, faithfulness ane
loyalty will be recognized and re-
warded by the public, you may b'
sure.

At Malolos.
Baltimore SUM-

The capture OF Malolos does credit
to the courage OF American soldiers
fighting under difficulties. The
Fillipinos withstood them bravely,
but the fierce sun, the humid.
malarious atmosphere, the jungle
| and the swamps were even more dis
agreeable and dangerous. 1t is to
be hoped that their exertions-e1-
cessive. it would seem, for the
| tropics-have not exhausted their
strength and sapped their vitality,
with the result Of making them easy
victims of the Philippine climate.
1t is supposed that the peace com
mission will now be brought on the
scene to make certain offers to
| Aguinaldo and patch up a peace.
| The commissioners are in Manila,
ready to go to work as soon as the
Filipinos are in yielding mood.
Has the recent fighting broken the
Filipino spirit? Have their loses
greatly exceeded their expectations
Are they impressed with American
resources, dash and energy9 Have
they lost hope9 There is no sign OF
this yet. There is nothing to show
that they could not continue a guer-
rilla war for years and confine our
troops to fortified posts. They have
yet to see what will be the effect of
the rainy season upon their unaccli-
mated opponents. 1t is to be feared
| that the end is still remote.

MARKET NOTES.


The L. S. production of copper for
January amounted to 1924 tons, an
increase of 900 tons over the same Pc
riod of 1898, and about the same amount
over average monthly production of
that year
A sustained upward movement in
stocks is predicted for the week With
business earnings increasing, earnings
enlarging and exports continuing
heavy, there is a good basis for the
prediction.
1t is limited that some hard earned
profits on the long side of Burlington
& Quincy have been squandered in COW
ering shorts in Tobacco.
Foreign bankers say there is an ac-
tual scarcity in the floating supply of
railway shares in the London market.
The shorts" in Tobacco, it is hint
ed, are being numerically squeezed. 1t
has jumped over 80 points since Friday.
For several weeks big operators have
been selling the stock short in the ex-
pectation that the trade wars in which
the different companies are involved
will depress the price of securities.
The Minneapolis and st. Louis rail
way bonds offered by Winslow & Co.
of this city have all been subscribed
for by Worcester investors. The APP
plications were sufficient to have SUBJ
