THE STATES INDUSTRIES.
A Wonderful Growth Along Many
Lines In Twenty Years.

The manufacturing industries OF
North Carolina until lSSu were limited,
but since that time the Splndles and
looms for the manufacture OF cotton
and woole0 fabrics have been largely
increased. tobacco factories nave been
established and enlarged and the cul,

In 1896 the number of cotton mills
in :es, state MAS III. Icons $1,000 and
sp6oatal,yS approximately 100000. Over
1900 persons were employed in these
mills. and the capital invested was

worthy advance during 1899 in cot
ton manufacturing. New plants put
into operation numbered % and new
spindes 80, l6S with an estimated
capitalize ton of SS.O0OO0O.
The tobacco industry has greatly
prospered in recent years. During the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1899, there
were 20 manufacturers of tobacco. 80
of cigars. and the combined output in
the calendar year 1898 was 1882. 148
cigars 2O94O,S96 pounds of plug to-
bacco. 1904 pounds of fine cut. 9,239.-
$40 pounds of smoking and 1902
pounds of snuff. The tobacco factories
in 1898 gave employment to $1,000
men. 800 women and 5000 children.
The increase in the lumber product
of 1889 over that of 1898 was estimat,
ed at 30 per cent. Eighteen new lum

Nine furniture factories. with a total

In 1897 the output of 323 lumber mills

The fisheries Of North Carolina are
all important industry. In 1895 the
number Of men regularly employed in
this industry Appropriated 5000 and
the boats and vessels about $500 The
value of the products is nearly equally
divided between sea and river prod

are the most important Of any state
and the greater portion Of the catch is
made in and about the Albemarle
sound. Oysters are abundant. the area
of the public grounds exceeding 10000
acres and the natural beds nearly
5000 acres. Legislative protection has
been thrown around the oyster and

the following resolutions:

PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.
Less Need Than Ever of Money in
That Section to HRndl
Crops.

The unchecked rise Of trade prosper
ity in the south is certainly phenom-
email. Bank clearings in the southern
section, notwithstanding a shrinkage
of 65 per cent. at Galveston, rose in
September 5 per cent. over 1899, and
such gains are given as $50 per cent.
at Savannah, 81 per cent. at New Or
leans, and 81 per cent. at Birmingham.
All this shows plainly enough why
the south drew IS 600, 900 currency from
New York bank, last month, against
only So, 900 900 a year ago.
The prosperity demands Of the south
for more currency, with which to cir
eulate it's vast increase in wealth, is at
fecting every money market of the
world. The balance Of trade in favor
of this country has, during the last
three or four years, become so enor-
nous, that, only by Selling evidences
of indebtedness on q Wholesale scale,
have foreign nations Of late been able
to prevent, great exports of gold to the
United States. Great Britain, Sweden,
Russia and Germany have obtained inn
portant loans in this country, thereby
obtaining considerable American gold
instead of losing their own gold. The
indebtedness of the world, however,
to the southern states has increased
Unexpectedly with recent deyelopemnts
in the cotton market; so that either
there must be further large sales Of
foreign bonds in the United States, or
else gold in great quantities must come
here.

ONE CERTAINTY.

When the back aches from kidney

When urinary troubles annoy you,
There's a certain way to find relief
A sure way to be cured
Doan's Kidney Pills will do it.
oskaloosa people endorse this claim:
Mr.. Thomas Terrell, of 61s North
O street, says: "Across the lower
part of my back there was a pain or
feeling of uneasiness which coupled
with the fact that my kidneys were
somewhat out of order caused me to
think that l ought to take something
for it before further complications
set in, l was induced to try Doan's

SOUTH REACHING FOR TRADE.
Laws Have Helped That
Section.

No section Of the country has had G
larger share of the general prosperity
during the present administration
than the south, and 1t has been due
mainly to the operations of the repub-
lican tariff and currency laws, as the
southern business men now under
stand and acknowledge. Never before
in the history of the United States has
the output Of the southern iron ore
and pig iron, lumber, coal and coke
been so large as it has been in the
past two years, and not for years, If
ever, have the prices been so high.
Never before was 10 large q proper
ton of southern products shipped
from southern ports. Never before
has money been loaned there at such
low interest. All this has occurred
under the gold standard and the pro-
tective tariff. A few years ago the
south had practically no manufac-
lures; it has now over 81, 1000, 600 900
invested in factories, paying over
$780, 600, 900 in wages and producing
between 81, 100000 600 and $4,000, ooo,-
900 products yearly. Most Of this
increase has been secured under the
present administration, and it is d.
rectly due to the operation of the re-
publican policies-Senator N. B. Scott,
of West Virginia.

ure and adding a couple of rooms at
the cost of several hundred dollars.
Lou FauIkenbury did the work.
Work on the new front of the
Frankel bank is moving along nicely.
The granite columns have been
placed and the new plate glass win
dows and side entrance are in. The

been commenced.

in the city for the past couple OF
weeks experimenting the improve
ments that have been made in the
property of his mother, Mrs. Knowles

MesSrs. Bryan and Roosevelt Con
tinue Their Remarkable
Campaigning Tours.

Baltimore, Nd, Oct. 24.-Hon. Will
liam j. Bryan, the democratic presi-
dental candidate, devoted the entire
day to speechmaking in Maryland,
speaking in succession at Rockville,
Frederick, Bruceville, Union Bridge,
New Windsor, Westminster, Glyndon
and in this city Tuesday evening. The
Rockville meeting was the only n
of the day that was not married by
rain. On account of the downpour
most Of the meetings were cut short,
but the crowds in each case remained
until Mr.. Bryan had concluded his re-
marks. The greeting extended to Mr.
Bryan on his arrival here Tuesday even
ing, and during the meetings held in
side and outside of Music hall, was
limited in numbers only by the ca
pacity of the places in which the meet
ings were held and in enthusiasm only
by the ability of the immense crowds
to give expression to it. 1t was rain
ing gently but steadily when the spe-
cial train bearing the democratic pres
idential candidate pulled into Union
station, an hour late, but this did not
prevent the assemblage Of a crowd of
fully 10000 people about the depot. A
parade was formed and Mr.. Bryan drove
at it's head to the Hotel Rennert, where
he dined with several democratic lead
ers, including former United States
Senator Arthur P. German, Gov. John
Walter Smith and Mayor Hayes, of this
eity.
Norwich, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Gov. Roose-
welt finished the second day of his New
York state campaign here Tuesday,
speaking to a large audience. He trav-
sled on Tuesday 159 miles and made
IA speeches, yet he finished his days
work in splendid shape, his voice at the
night meetings being very clear. The
entire trip vas an ovation, the crowds
in comparison to the population OF the
places being especially large. The
three largest places stopped at Tuesday
were Stamford, where he spoke in a
hall; Oneonta, where he addressed a
large out-of-door meeting, and at
Bloomyille.
Kingston, r. l., Oct. 24.-John G,

to Providence where the night meeting
was scheduled.
