Growth of the Cotton Till Industry,

Graphic evidence Of the rapid growth
of the cotton mill industry In the
South is furnished by comparison OF
the cotton consumption, says the New
York Post. During the year ended Au-
gust 81, last, the Northern mills pur-
chased 2,06S, 900 bales, against 2,O27, ,OOo
In 1891, while the akings Of the South
ern mills were 1,5s7,OOO, against 604,-
600 in 1891. This would seem to indiD
cate that Northern consumption re-
mainer stationary as compared with
ten years ago, while Southern co1-
sumption in the same period much
more than doubled. But, great IS has
been the increase in the South, the
growth in the near future will be even
more rapid. Last year 100000 new
spindles were put in operation in the
South, and 1,41S,00O spindles are in
course Of erection. This means that
within a year the South will have In
operation 29 per cent. more spindles
than it now has, and SIS per cent. more
than 1t had a year ago. And this In
turn means-assuming that the new
mills will spin yarns Of the present av-
erage number-that in another year
the South will be consuming approx.
mately as much cotton az the North.

No State has so many newspapers

ing than those of the Red River Val

pauperism, it is almost another case
of "the snakes in Ireland" The CEN
sus Of 1890 shows that there were
ninety-seven prisoners in her jails, none
of whom were juveniles and thirty
five paupers, the smallest percentage
of any State Of the Union. At the
present time not more than q quarter

has found in most cases "lengthening
Of the face and broadening Of the
cheek bones in accordance with the
characteristic features Of Indian
races" Perhaps, it is suggested, much
eating of scrapple is responsible for
the curious development.

DR.. Charles Fere, writing in French
medical journal, treats the emotion
commonly called "love at first sight"
with a calm disapproval distinctly
shocking to people who have been
taught to see in it semi-sacred attri-
butes. He says that this phenomenon
seems to be a symptom Of degeneracy,
Of hallucinations Of memory, and IN
especial of epilepsy and of neurasthe-
MIA. The explosive form of affection
he thinks should be considered a
symptom of morbid emotion, of nerv-
GUS disorder, rather than a celestial
inspiration to be followed at all haz-
ards. The authority may be high, but
it hardly carries conviction that all
the poets and novelists are wrong, es-
pecially as it is not quite certain that
the French coup de foudre" and
our "love at first sight are one and
the same sentiment.

of the stone walls, the crags, cliffs,

of money has been able to control the

back to the scene of his handiwork,
md given the alternative of scraping

somewhat to the disappointment OF
the residents, who were just in the
mood for the ducking.

An incident which occurred at one

with hands begrimmed with toll,
stepped to the counter, and putting
down a quarter, sententiously said,

Cannot Get Damages.

Chicago, Special.-Suits against the
city for damages to railroad property
Turing the strike Of 1894, in which
more than 100000 involved, were
virtually decided in the city's favor by
a jury in Judge Hanceys court. A
verdict Of not guilty in the case OF
Armour and Co. against the city OF
Chicago is interpreted by Corporation
Counsel Walker to mean that the
litigating companies will not be able
to recover damages for the destruction
of railroad property during the great
strike.

IN which cotton growing was once
dominant, other articles are being add
ed year by year. Among these is pc
role,rm. Within the past five years
the production OF crude petroleum in
The Corsicana fields in Navarro county,
Tex. has been steadily developed,
bringing new population and new Ia
dustries in its trail. The discovery OF
the oil was made in the heart OF tae
atty in drilling an artesian welk For
. couple of years slow progress was
made, but since 1898, when a refinery
was built, it has had rapid expansion.
According to a correspondent OF the
Manufacturers RECORD since January
[. 1899 the work has gone on uninter-
ruptedly, until the number Of produc-
ing wells in the field Is $50, with
daily output OF $500 barr els. OIL OF
he lubricating variety has been
struck at a depth Of 400 fee, near Pow
sll. eight miles from Corsicana, and o
pipe line will be built In order to get
the oil to market Month after month
The tankage capacity Of their refinery
aas been increased until there are now
about 40 tanks, holding from 5000 to
&c. .0G0 barrels each, while others are
added as production increases. The re-
fnery is not able to refine the entire
product, and large quantities Of the
crude oil are shipped to Mexico, where
it is refined. The residum Of the oil
refined at Corsicana is used in local
mills and factories for fuel and large
quantities Of it are shipped to Sabine
Pass to be loaded on steamships for the
North, where its by-products are de-
rived.
The outward movement Of lumber Is
strengthening. The reports Of rail-
roads as to lumber traffic represents 1t
as quite up to the average for this sea-
son. Reports from all milling sections
show no excessive stocks at any point,
while many mills are moving lumber
rs rapidly as it leaves the saw. In the
North Carolina pine section the out
look is regaded as very satisfactory,
and while there is no very great activ-
ity in the market, the demand Is steady
with a good inquiry which later on
will develop considerable actual busi-
ness.
