MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT IN
ALABAMA \.

Hon. Hannis Taylor, Ii. D. is one
ians. His able work on the "Consti-
tutiOns" gave him deserved fame. He
has written a paper for the new edition
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica upon
Alabama. his adopted State. 1t is to
show the great progress made in it
since 1870. We cut out an abstract n
had still another copy sent us by some
one unknown to us, who thought it an
object lesson for North Carolina" And
so it is. 1t shows great progress, great
development. But North Carolina is
not asleep or unprogreSSive. 1t has
very great riches beneath the surface
of the earth. and it has much to show
in railroad building, manufacturing,
town growths. mining operations. A
thorough write up and a faithful con-
d%ensation would make an excellent
and very encouraging exhibit for he
grand old state, first in war, and quite
capable of being first in peace as Uncle
George Washington was. We do not
know which paper should be credited
with the following:
For example, the states total out
put of coal in 1870 was only Is, 200 tons;
in 1900, $500, 900 tons, estimated; total
output of pig iron in 1870 was only
1860 tons; in 1899, loss, 905. The Biz
mingham district is now the third larg-
est point of export of pig iron in the
world, and its coke tonnage Q,609, $50
ions in 1899 is second in this ountry
only to the ConnellSville district Of
Pennsylvania. The total cotton pro-
duct of the state in 1870 was 429, 4S2
bales; in 1899. 1,130, 600. In 1870 the total
poulation was 996, 992; in 1900, estimated
at 1,S00, 900. The total Is cotton mills of
1870 have increased to 80, with $751; S9
spindles and Is, $50 looms, the total cap
ltal invested amounting to $16,27S,7 $50.
The lumber and single mills, number
ing less than 800 in 1870, ave increas-
ed TO 1000 with an invested capital Of
sls. l00,OO0. During the year ended July
In 1871, total vessels engaged in the for
trade that entered the port of Mo-
pie were los, with a total tonnage of
t0.Z4S. During the year ended July 1,
1879, there We're of the same class $50
vessels, with a total tonnage of 3s4 .000."

ment unencumbered and unmixed with
any other question whatever, whether
Of a candidacy or any other. was so
apparent, so mandatory, hat it was
agreed months ago that the seekers af-
ter the high office should await the
decision in August before pressing their
claims. The News referring to the
ignoring for the present the senatorial
contest says: .
The ~jealousies engendered by a
campaign for the senatorship might
united party is absolutely essential to
he adoption Of the most important
MEASURE proposed in a third Of a CEN
fury. The candidates for the legisla-
ture will therefore be selected without
reference to their choice for United
States senator.
Let the people express at the polls
in November the candidate they wish
to send to the senate, and the legisla-
ture will becomingly follow the in
struction thus received.
theoretically in this country the
people are the masters. They have Of
ten been badly served by their public
bosses. some times called servants.
If they prefer one North C%arolinian to
some other man for the senatorship
their recorded will should be obeyed
by their servants in the legislature.
We believe no democratic legislature
elected at the time the primaries are
held would disregard this manner Of
selection as expressive of the choice Of
ceives the highest vote be honored by
the legislature. Prior to the war we
never heard of a legislature being
chosen with reference to the election
of any man for the United States SEN
ate. The primary system, so far as we
are informed, is a fair, safe, simple
way of securing preference.
The News takes a view that it may
be well to adopt. 1t says:
If the state convention will adopt a
resolution providing for senatorial
primaries to be held in every county in
h state, with proper safeguards to
prevent manipulation or fraud; and
shall Furthermore provide that the
democratic members of the legiSla-
ture shall be pledged to abide by the
decision of the primary election; the
question will be solved.
The senatorial primary is not in the
interest of any candidate. 1t is as fair
for one as for another. But it is in the
interest of the people.

THE SENATORIAL. PRIMARIES.

The people who have given consider
alton 10 the matter desire a change in
the mode of eIecting United States SEN
ators. As the people of North Carolina
can not secure at once n change
sought they probably would X TO
have the privilege of voting in prlma-
ries for the man they prefer to sue
coed that disgrace to the white race
Marion Butler. The democratic state
committee have decided to refer the
question of primaries to the next state
convention But this plan Will posi-
bly, fail from the Indifference OF the
people. The Charlotte News says
Eight or ten county conventions
have been held, and so far as we have
seen. not one has issued specific IN
ton of primaries. There are so many
candidates for office, and their friends
are SO much interested in their success,
aat they are likely to overlook a mat
ter of principle that effects the party
and the state more han the success
of any candidate"
If this silence should really grow
out of a failure to appreciate the n
ats of a change, then it would be omi-
nous of defeat. But if the convention
should by resolution decide to nix a.
day on which. the democrats should
vote for the men of their choice for
senator il is altogether probable that
the man receiving the highest vote
would be elected by the legislature, IL
it should be democratic as is the pro-
liability now. The necessity OF making
the fight upon the franchise amend

HOME FOLKS.

North Carolina is seriously threaten
ed by the little state of South Carolina.
Not having the fear Of consequences
before it, the latter has dared to nearly
double investments ON e cotton mills
In 1900 over that of the great state Of
North Carolina. IT'S true It's pity"
What shall be done? If this thing
goes on by the end of the year our lit
tie neighbor will build j V times as
many mills as North Carolina will
build. The next thing will be for the
little state to consume all of its own
large crop of cotton and to help North
Carolina and Georgia to find a market
for some OF their W product.

we have read thus far as coming from

that the negroes were not worrying

ends. That is the meaning of it as we

THANKSGIVING SERVICE.

A union Thanksgiving service was
held yesterday morning at 1920 by the
Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist
churches of this city at the Baptist
church. Rev. Allen of Dunlap deliy-:
cred very impressive and appropriate
address. The music was delivered by
the Baptist choir in a very pleasing
manner. A large number of the mem
oers OF the different churches were
present and joined in the services.
After the sermon report of the
committee for the relief of the poor
was read by the chairman. Mrs. 10.
Gulick, following which a collection
was taken up to carry on the work Of
the relief committee. We are not adj
vlsed as to the exact amount contrib
uted but can say that 1t was very liber-,
al and most gladly received by the
committee.
