WHY NOT KEEP IT?

The year 1899 showed great activity
and progress in building cotton mills
and IN charging those already built. The
State manufactured within four thousand
bales Of all the cotton produced, thereby
getting twenty cents instead Of seven
cents for its cotton.
In 1900, why not Sell the cotton in the
manufactured product for thirty or forty
instead of twenty cents? SO far most
of the cotton mills erected have been
supplied with machinery that manufac-
lures cheap goods. Why not in the new
mills and in he changes of machinery.
equip them with machinery to make the
finer and more costly fabrics? To spin
all OUT cotton into yarns and cheap goods
IS we'll; to convert them into fabrics that
bring high prices is better.
Twenty years ago New England said
that the South could not spin its cotton
in mills adjacent to the fields. The
South has answered by doing it. Ten
years age those New Englanders who
before had denied that the South could
spin its cotton, said, 1T can convert If
into warps and cheap goods. but cannot
compete with US in the finer goods" 1t

THE KELLEY

A few years ago, writing of the Kelley
institute at Greensboro, the News and
Observer said: THE efficacy OF the
Kelley treatment and its tremendous
power for good seems to be thoroughly
established" Last summer, upon taking
the train at Greensboro, a gentleman who
had long been addicted to drink. picked
UP 4 large fan upon which the above ex-
tract from this paper had been printed
IN bold letters. He famed himself and
went his way, leaving the fan on the
seat in the train But the words THE
efficacy of the Kelley treatment.... 49,.
seems to be thoroughly established' had
liked themselves indelibly on his
and he could not rid himself of them. At
length he went to Greensboro, took the
treatment, and says that he owes his
later success in business to the treatment.
That incident caused us to recall the
efficacy and 'powcr for good that the
treatment has done for men We have
nown. In a few years more than sixty
men from Wake county have taken the
keeley treatment at Greensboro. Of
that number at least fifty have been per-
manently benefited and some have be-
come the leaders in every good move
ment. showing that it is a power of
good"
The keeley cure does not claim to do
anything but put the patient just where
he was before he formed the habit of
drink. Men who have been slaves to the
drink habit find the craving gone: they
reahZe that their will is re-eStabIished and
that they have the power of self-control
they had before they ever tasted whiskey.
we give this voluntary and unpaid
statement because a recent remarkable
cure of a bright attorney has come under
our observation, and we feel it a duty
to commend an institution or trea tment
that saves brains and character from
waste and degradation.

H OTHER SIDE.

There seem 10 be two sides 10 the queS-
ton of the market the Philippines VIII
give to the products of the Southern cot
ton mills. Many are congratuI;ttlIg them
selves on the new entrance and LOOKING
forward to profitable trade in our new

nor good politics, so far as the South is
concerned. to open up new countries. the
productions of which viii send the agrl-
cultural products of the South tumbliLg
to a price that Will impOyerish our farm
ers." Mr.. Slayden, a member OF the
House from Texas, has been studying
Commissioner Worcester's book on The
Resources Of the Philippines" and talk
ing with the author about it. He says:
What interested me most was what
he said about the possibilities Of produc-
tom in the Philippines. he says that
even now some cotton is produced an1
made into cloth in the islands. He also
says that years ago 4 great deal of cot
ton was produced in LuZOn- but that the
eXactionS OF the tobacco monopoly We're
such that the Spanish Government forced
the people to abandon the production of
cotton and grow tobacco instead. With
this control removed as soon as peace
and order again obtain it is thought that
the people Will once more engage IN the
cultivation of cotton
Mr.. Slayden says that Mr.. Worcester
thinks the land is suitable for growing
cotton, and that in the mann they are not
liable to killing ~froStS," and that with
wages at 5 to 10 per day it would be
possible to grow cotton at a very small
cost. After quoting Mr.. Worcester at
more length, Mr.. Slayden ayS
Now here is a problem for the people
Of Texas-indeed for the people Of the
whole South-to consider. Can Texas
farmers compete successfully against any
such conditions and are they willing to
put a cudgel into the hands Of a few
trusts and speculative syndicates to beat
out their own brains? This Philippine
problem is a business as we'll IS 4 politi-
cal question.
There can be no doubt about it, the
islands of Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba
should the Government abandon the path
Of honor and fail to keep its pledges for
free Cuba-will soon drive Louisiana and

ness. It is also becoming evident that q
competing cotton growing region may
be developed in the Philippines"
So far our information is scant and
opinions vary. 1t may be well to wait
for better knowledge before expressing
an opinion, but there is food for reelection
in Mr.. Slayden's suggestion.

GEN, WHEELER IN TROUBLE.

We have always believed that Mr..
General Wheeler could not legally be 4
member of Congress and hold a commits

and his services We're S conspicuous
that the House refused to declare his
seat vacant. Some months ago he sailed
away to the Philippines, and his friends
looked to see him win additional glory
and renown by capturing Aguinaldo. In
stead of performing any notable deed. it
seems that he is not permitted an Oppor-
tunity of real service, and that the old
General is not at all pleased. Mr.. Viii
liam T.. Curtis, one of the best. c%orrespon-
dents in Washington. writing to the Chit
cage Record, gives the situation il. which
the Albanian finds himself:
Letters from Manila received at the
department and by friends of General
Wheeler Indicate that the relations be-
tween that intrepid warrior and his mill
tary superiors and Associates are not
as cordial as they might he. Genera,
Wheeler is a vOluminous writer. He
took a stenographer with him when he
went to the Philippines, and keeps him
busy. Every mail brings a large bundle
of letters addressed to his intimate
friends in Congress and in private life,
including several newspaper men who are
in his confidence. On several occasions

est desire to have the special appropria-
ton OF 100000 for the public schools.
Il wrote an official letter TO the State
Treasurer some months ago in regard To
this appropriation. ! have seen him in
person three or four times and urged
him to make special effort TO pay this
money when tue He assured me ON
each occasion that he would gladly pay
the money if he had il when due. bur
could never give me any assurance that
be would have the money. You, no
doubt, have his official letter before this
time stating that he has not the money
now, but that he hopes to have it III time
for the fall term Of schools.
This MONEY was appropriated by the
Legislature for the school year, begin
ming July LIST, 1899, and ending June
Both, 1900, and we must have this mon
ey on or before June Both, for the spring
term and not for the fall term.
My advice to YOU is that YOU go ahead
and apportion this special appropriation
TO your respective townships, keeping
a strict account of the amount Of the
special fund given to each township. ana
the township trustees in turn to keep
Il strict account of how much Special
fund they give to each Individual school.

SHlall Dill OF $40, so, or 80 that may
not be paid promptly at the close of the
schools. but can be paid as soon as the
county treasurer receives the money from
the State Treasurer.
o course, If the State Treasurer
pays the money before the schools close.
then there will be no delay in paying
the teachers in full at the close Of their
schools.
No one regrets the failure To receive
the money promptly more than myself,
as l have been exceedingly anxious that
the last year of my term Of office should
show an increase in the length Of schools
as we'll as an Improvement in the quality
Of work lone in the school room.
Yours very truly.
