MILLS COMING SOUTH.

But for slavery, the manufacture OF
cotton goods in the South would nave
been its leading industry nifty years ago.
The people of every section are forced
to do what the labor is capable OF dong
The slave was ideally adapted to the
cultivation Of cotton. Southern virgin
lands made cotton cultivation profitable,
and therefore it was that the South pro-
duced cotton and let the North manu-
facture it. The day Is at hand alreaay
in North Carolina when the cotton
mills manufacture all the cotton grown
in the State. The day will come When
it will manufacture fine as we'll as
coarse goods. AS showing the growth
Of the industry in the South, we quote
this from the news column of the
Washington Post:
1.-THE business of the cotton mills In
New England is very bad and promises
to be even worse" said Mr.. w. F. Whip
pie. a wholesale merchant of Worches-
ter. Mass. VINO has come here with his
wife and children for al Easter Vaca-
ton. 1T is the mills manufacturing
the coarser kinds of cotton. goods that
are suffering from competition of south
ern mills They cannot hope to hold out
against the manufacturers in the South.
On the other hand, this does not mean
that New England must yield entirely
the manufacture of cotton. Manufac-
turers there have been and are building
up regulations for certain kinds of fine
cotton goods for which there is de-
mand and which the Southern manufac-
turers cannot duplicate. The hard times
just at present, / understand, extend
also to the wooden industry in New
England"

HOW TO GET RICH.

Truckers in Eastern North Carolina this
season have received as much as sixty
cents a bunch for asparagus. A Florida
gentleman, who has purchased land near
Fayetteville will put it in celery, and
says celery will grow in that climate IN
profusion and of superior quality. The
trucking industry, an industry practically
unknown twenty years ago, has come 10
be one of the greatest in Eastern North
Carolina, and it is as yet not half de-
veloped 1t has not only brought wealth
to some, comfort to many, and given an
uplift in prosperity to those sections that
have gone largely and wisely into truck
farming, but it has brought into the state
a desirable class of population. State
Senator Brown. who established colony
at Chadbourn, was enabled to interest
Northern farmers by showing the hand
some profits made in growing berries and
truck for Northern markets. They have
succeeded and brought their friends to
live in North Carolina, and beginning
has just been made in the development OF
the trucking business of Eastern North
Carolina.
North Carolina cannot get rich except
by making things to sell to people who
live in other States Trucking and fish
ing are destined to make Eastern North
Carolina rich Much of it is already a
garden, with improved shipping facilities,
and land devoted to the cultivation of
cotton, which pays very little, will be
devoted to growing strawberries and
early vegetables for market, thus giving
larger returns for investment and labor

TO INJURE THE STATE.

There was some difference of opinion
among coed men in North Carolina as to
whether the action of Justices Furches
and Douglas called for the severe punish
ment of impeachment, involving removal
from office and disqualification for hold
ing office, and some difference as to
whether the charges we're proved beyond
a reasonable doubt" But there was no
difference of opinion among good men as
to the honesty and patriotism of the
men who supported the articles of i'm
parchment, or as to the reality of the Of
tence with which the judges were charged
Some bitter malignants, to be sure, dld
reflect upon two thirds of the Democratic
members of both branches of the General
Assembly. but their words were not seri-
ously received by we'll informed men in
North Carolina. 1t seems, however, that
outside of the State the SANDERS upon the
State have been credited and used to the
injury of the State. Mr.. VIM Curtis,
the clever Washington correspondent of
Chicago Record Herald, has been imposed
upon bv the false statements, for he
writes his paper thus:
The North Carolina judges were i'm
peached not for what they had done, put
for what it was feared they intended 10
do. and the Democratic leaders decided
that it was safer to get rid of them be-
fore they had a chance to pass upon the
constitutionality of the law that disfran-
chises illiterate negroes, but allows I'LL
terate white men to vote. "A case was
cooked up, based upon trivial Judlclal
proceeding Articles of impeachment
were presented, evidence was submitted,
arguments were heard, but twelve Demo-
cratic members of the Senate, which is
almost entirely Democratic, voted for ac-
uuittaI. The kilograms from Raleigh say
that these twelve men represent the
business community, the most intelligent
element in the State, and the Democratic
machine has received a Knockout blow
from which it can scarcely recover II
there is wise leadership the result will be
the building up of white Republican
party that will dominate the State"
There is no man in North Carolina who
loves the good name of his State who
will not resent the tissue of falsehoods
in the above. There is not true SEN
tence in it from beginning to end, and the
men who voted against impeachment will
bear out that statement. Mr.. Curtis has
been imposed upon by some penny-a-
liner, or malicious partisan who, for po-
litical effect, is willing to Islander the
good name of North Carolina. Re
spectacle Republican party will never De
established BY men who inspire such vile
Islander about the bulk of the best men in
this State.

Durham has a habit of going to the
front and staying there. 1t led all the
towns in the State in a modern up-to-date
public library, and now it is stated pro-
vision has been made for every school
district in the county to take advantage
of the new public library act The new
law permits no county to avail itself OF
the provisions of the law for more than
six schools, but that obstacle will not
stand in the way of Durham's having a
library in every school district. It al

THE MAXIM OF WAR.

Of course it is true that Funston Sc
cured" Aguinaldo's confidential friend
Lacuna, as guide; obtained Lacuna's seal;
forged Lacuna's name; dressed the trail
tor Filipinos in insurgent uniform; dis
guised the American soldiers; obtained
supplies by fraud from Aguinaldo's camp
to keep his soldiers alive; sent the
Tagalogs ahead ito greet Aguinaldo;" had
one of the traitor officers to throw his
arms around Aguinaldo'-all these things
were done to effect the capture of the
Filipino Chief, who, upon his capture said:
81 would never have been taken except by
strategem. l was completely deceived by
Lacunas forged signature"
Is it right, in war, to practice the de-
ceptions and fraud which, if practiced in
peace, would secure to Funston deserved
disgrace? The answer of the nations IS
that everything is fair in war" that
war is hell" that 1.-The man who would
win glory must do his best to get killed. :
Funston and his soldiers cannot be blam-
ed for doing what is recognized as per-
MISSILE in war The maxim of war is,
do unto others as they would do to you,
and do it first" 1t is a bad maxim and
destructive of the highest rules of civic
honor, but in war every man is after
every other fellows scalp, and the law
of self preservation becomes the first law
in civilized as we'll as barbaric warfare.
