that section except recently in Texas
and in other States where much new
land has been opened for cultivation.
Under the head of New Class of Labor
in the South" the writer points out
that the number of splndles in the cot
ton mills has increased from 667 900 to
1000, 900 in nineteen years, while the
number of operatives has passed from
20, 900 to 250,000. Years ago the posi-
bility of cotton mills being built in the
South was secuted, for the reason that
there was no mechanic class to operate
the mills. Nevertheless, the exigencies
of Industrial life have created a labor
ing class that is now at work running
the millions of spindles.
Whence has come this army of work
ers? 1t is explained that the extreme
low price of cotton has driven the
white farmer out Of business, and
when manufacturers attracted by this
wealth of cheap raw material opened
cotton mills in the midst of it, they
found this white labor at hand. The
white farmer, driver from the field by
the low price of cotton, entered the fac
tory and he and his children soon
adapted themselves to the new labor,
which was a blessed relief from oner-
JUS conditions.

THE OLD ADAM AGAIN.

Again the country is shocked by the
burning at the stake of a negro ravish-
er and murderer. But the shock is not
so great nor the sensation nearly so
widespread as at the first instance some
years ago in which this fiery vengeance
was melted out Are we getting used
to the savagery of burning human be-
ings at the stake after the fashion Of
the aborigines? Is our civilization not
even skin deep.
1t is mighty difficult for civilization
to keep up the pretence of being more
than it is in the face of such occur
rences. 1t shows that the original
Adam will come to the surface under
sufficient ~provocation.
We need not throw stones at the
South. Old Adam wasn't a Southerner
and his children people the earth,
amid the arctic SHOWS as well as under
the equatorial sun. The same blood
flows in the veins of the Floridan and
the New Yorker. The same love for
womankind warns the heart OF the
'Northerner and Southerner and when

HOW

According to the Leipziger Tageblatt
American commerce is making such
strides that the importation of Amer
lean goods into Europe is becoming
steadily more dangerous And it in
sists that Europe must meet the neces-
sity of making a strong fight to retain
its markets at home against American
competition. 1t says that ven the re-
tai trade of Europe is threatened:
Even in fancy articles, in which the
European market has set the styles for
the entire world, the American manufac-
turers are beginning to compete with the
European. British calico prints are also
already receiving competition from Amer
lea. AS we hear, travellers of a known
American house have offered American
cotton stuffs in England with much sue
cess, and the London authorities declare
them to be tasteful and worth the price.
But also in other ways than with the
wholesale imports America is becoming
ominous to us. The enterprising country
is making us happy already with retail
business of its own. The large shoe fac
tory of Julius Barthmann, in Newark,
N. j., has decided to establish fifteen shoe
stores in the large cities of Germany.
The large department store proprietors,
Siegel, Cooper & Co, intend to. establish
a branch in london. 1t ought to be time
to consider how one can defend ones self
against this dangerous competition. Is
we have already stated before, the only
means We see to protect ourselves from
this threatening storm of American goods
is a middle European, or, still better, a
European tariff alliance against America,
is case America does not prefer to adopt
the policy of the open door and by a con-
siderable reduction of its duties make it
possible for foreign goods to compete in its
own markets.
But our German contemporary ne
elects to inform US how Europe could
possibly expect to compete in American
markets after paying ocean freights
even though there was not a cent of
tariff to pay when she cannot compete
with American goods in her W mar
kets after they have paid the cost of
transportation.

ArTTD

The independent ca1l& attention ~ 4
fact not generally known. namely. that
the apple crop is worth more in dollars
and cents than the wheat crop.
This is Of special interest in view Of
the fact that old farmers in this section
report that with ordinary luck the APP
pie crop for 1901 will be he greatest in
forty years.
The total crop Of 1900 was 215, 000, 900
barrels. Surprising that an average
price of 81 a barrel was obtained, the
aggregate value of the crop was $780,
DOC. 900. The average value OF wheat is
but a little over $500. 900, 900 annually.
By this estimate the apple crop is worth
about SO percent more than the wheat.
There is a reason for this state of af-
fairs. A European market for Ameri-
can fruit has been obtained. Already
the exports of fresh apples exceed A.
100000 barrels a year. Abroad these
apples bring neare 81 than So a barrel.
Even at such prices the export trade
has increased every year, until Amer
lean apples have a fixed value from
Liverpool to st. Petersburg.
Despite these interesting facts, how
ever, apples not being a staple the fail
ure of the crop throughout the United
States would not bring on a panic or a
money depression such as would fol-
low the failure of the wheat crop. APP
pies are not the sole means of support
except in a few sections.
Yet our contemporary points out that
there is eason to believe that before
long the American palate will regard
the apple as a necessity. It is the usual
thing for a family living in the city to
have a meat bill running into the hun
dreds If dollars while only two Dr.
three barrels of apples will be used.
I'VE are growing f%rugivorous instead
of c%arnivorous," observes the Independ-
ent, and before long pastry and bread
viii be subordinate to the better food.
The trade in American apples has
enormously increased since the Paris
Exposition last year, at which a very
fine display of this fruit was made. At
the same time Americans are beginning
to think more of this distinctively
American fruit which for healfhfulneSS
is unsurpassed, if not u~nequalled.

The observance of Decoration Day
here to-day seemed more appropriate
than in fornGr years. and the attrac-
tons to keep people at home were more
elaborate than heretofore. The beauti-
ful sunshine after almost a week of rain
and sunless sky. brought almost every

surrounding country. Early In the
morning the air was filled with music
by the caliope of Prices New Water
Queen, a floating opera which will show

assembled at G. A. r. Headquarters
shortly after n O'Clock. and at about
two fell in line and marched ND Main
street. headed by Prices band, and
marched to Fleea street, where some OF
the old veterans fell out and took the
street cars to the cemetery while the
others proceeded on foot. There the
graves of their dead comrades were
strewn with flowers and flags. Rev.
Walter Mansel delivered an eloquent al
dress to the large assemblage of soldiers
and their friends at the cemetery.
