The Governors message fills nine
solid columns Of the Clarion Ledger;
He first deals with the fnancies Of the
state aud SAYS the condition Of the treas

recommends the enactment Of a law

SCISSOR Of money loaned on security Of
any kind.
He recommends the pension approp-
ration be raised to $3.50, 600.
The Governor dwells at some length
on the Importance of establishing tex
tile school in connection with the A. &
NJ. College. He recommends a liberal
appropriation for the support of the l. l,

In regard to the public lands he says;
Non resident aliens ought not to be al
lowed to acquire or hold land in this

permitted to invest in real estate as a
mere speculation The land should be,
as far as possible, for farms and homes
of the citizens of the state.

should be taken to prevent polygamy
being preached or practiced in the state
under the guise Of religion.
He says the eleemosynary and other
institutions are being well and econom

He also gives a hard thrust at the
trusts and thinks they are great evil
and danger threatening the state.
On the subject of "blind tigers he
says: l recommend that the keeping Of

AN ENCOURAGING VIEW
OF Textile Conditions in the South
by Expert D. A. Tompkins.

Charlotte, N, c., Jan, g. In an in
teryiew with an Associated Press rep
resentative Mr.. D. A. Tompkins, the
well known cotton mill expert, takes a
most encouraging view of the textile
conditions in the south. In reply to a
question as to the prosperity of new mill
construction in 1900, Mr., Tompkins -e-
pied that expectations in this line will
be fully met.
"The machine mapufacturG.- in the
United States, said Mr., Tompkins.
"can make2 800, 900 spindles a year.
IG&tis the extent of thair output. The
new mills to be built in 1900 will re-
quire 2, 600, 900 spindles for their equip
ment, so that the mil construction
this year will be very nearly to the ca
pacity of the machine plants to turn out
spindles. -
Continuing. Mr.. Tompkins said ::
New England has 10, 600, 900 spindles,
Of which 2, 900, 600 are located in Mas
sachusetts. There are now 8, 900, 900
spindlas in the south At the end of
1900 the south will have 7, 900, 900 spin
dies. and New England will still have
10 900, 02O, In Massachusetts new
spindles are being put in on fine stuff
only, while the old ones are being dis.
continued on coarse stuff.
"Old England has 4G, 900, 900 spin
dies; the south 5000. 600. the United
States, including the middle states,
20, 900, 900. At the rate of 20, 900. OOC
new spindles year, the present rate of
increase, ten years from now the Unit
cd States would have about the same
number Of spindles as England. OF
these New England and the middle
states would probably haYe 20, 0'O, 900,
all on fine goods, and the south %, 600,
900 Iu other words, the United States,
in 1910, will have as many spindles a,
England, and the south will have more
spihdles than New England and tn,
middle states combined e."
Mr.. Tompkins says there is not th,
slightest fear of overproduction if W,
properly develop our market opportuni
ties. The orient, he says, might be de
veloped to take the product of 10, 900
600 spindles in ten years over and abov
the present production. Just how re
mote the possibility Of overproduction i
is manifest from the fact that it will re
Quire 100, 600, 900 spindles to manufact
ure the cotton crop of the world into tn
average grade of cotton, and it ha
been shown there are but 90, 900, 90
spindles in the United States and ), 900
900 in the south.
