What the South Can Do

The Importance Of Southern manu-.
facturers Of cotton goods going into all
lines of manufacture instead Of con-
fining their efforts to one line wherin
they become competitors with one
another, has been many times ompha.
sized by those most familiar with the
field. The advice is wise, for it oor-
tainly is true that tho mills here at
tho cotton fields should produce
everything that.is manufactured from the
cotton, and can. The recent venture
Of the Langley Manufacturing Com
pany at West Point has demonstrated
the possibilities in line heretofore
practically untoH ,hod. This company,
of which Captain Edward Langley ID
general manager, il manufacturing lap
robos, fancy towels, portieres crochet,
Marseilles and the Mitchelli line quilts.
all Of which are designated, woven and
dyed at West Point. Samples Of the
work Of this company which have
reached Atlanta show that even In lis
infancy 1t has atteined a high standard
of success. There are other lines as yot
practically untouched in which cotton
manufacturers can fidd opportunities
for o remunerativo market, Despite
the great growth Of The iadustry in the
past decade, it is still 90 comparatively In
its infancy. - Atlanta Constitution.

Good for Beaufort.

A Washington dispatch says Admiral
OrownBhield, who has Just returned
from on inspection Of southern ports
with view to tho establishment Of a
naval training station, has recommended
to tho secretary Of tho navy that the
naval station ct Port Royal, 8. q. be
utilized for this purpose. The secretary
heartily approves Of tho recommends
tion and informed Congressman Elliott
that tho buildings at Port r val
would be used and improved for the ac.
oomodation Of from 500 to 1000 boya
chiefly from the south. The station,
he told Mr. Elliott, would bo made a
most important one. Tho machinery
now at Port Royal dry dock will be
transferred to Charleston in accordance
with tho recent act Of Congress remov,
ing the dock station and new buildings
will be erected near Charleston for its
reception, It being impossible to re-.
move those at Port Royal. -

What 1t Cost.

According to speoial from Wash.
inston, since tho rebellion in the Philip
pinos 90, 600 mon is tho lowest estimate
OF tho war department. Of the casual.
ties sustained by the Filipino forces;
1857 rifles have been captured or sur.
rendered and COS, l42 rounds Of ammu-
milton, as show by incomplete returns,
have been seized. The number Of
Bilipinos killed cannot be accurately
determined, as Gonoral MaoArthur in
his dispatches atatoa that it 10 impossi-
bio to be accurate on this point. It
would not surprise officials should the
Filipino fatalities reach 26, 900, aud
