BOSTON, Jan. 5.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter, in it's
issue last week reviewed the tex
tile mill construction in the past
year, saying that returns for the
last six months do not show up as
large as in the first six months of the
year. The depression that was felt
in the manufacturing business dur
ing the summer and fall months
acted as a damper to the rush to
build mills, particularly cotton mills,
hat was noticed the first half of the
year when all records in mill build
ing were broken. During the first
half of the year the number of new
mills entered upon was 3O7 and dur
ing the last six months the number
was 224, a loss of over 25 per cent.
over the first half.
Of the 224 mills projected IA are
devoted to the manufacture of cot
ton, IA to wool, 81 to knit goods, Is
to miscellaneous purposes, such as
silk and linen manufacturing and for
bleaching and dyeing. During the
year 531 mills have passed under the
review of the Reporter, an increase
Of 232 over the 299 reported for the
year 1899 and an increase of 269 over
the 262 reported for 1898. This
shows the fact that the United States
is becoming the largest producer of
textile fabrics in the world. Very
noticeable is the great increase in
the number of mills making finer
goods, especially in cotton manufac-
turing business, partially caused by
the situation in CHINA, cutting out
the demand from that country.
The number of knitting mills con
structed during the past six months
is the largest on record. Nearly all
of these mills are devoted to cotton
hosiery and underwear.
Compilation Of returns on new en-
terprises show that Georgia leads
with 10 mills, North Carolina comes
second with Al, although the latter
has always been in the lead in the
construction Of new mills, it being

E POINT HAZING.

A young mar named Oscar BOOz
of Pennsylvania, recently died, and
before his death he gave informa-
ton concerning certain forms of
hazing which he suffered as d cadet
at West Point Academy. He was
taken from West Point unwell and
his father charged that his death
was due to the result of hazing. This
called forth an investigation which
has been in progress for some days.
The Investigation has brought out
some developments that are nor or
less shocking.
Cadets are often put to such tests
OF endurance that they faint, become
hEstericaI and the like. While no
doubt some Of the charges have been
overdrawn, there is reason to believe
from the testimony of those who
have given evidence, that the hazing
there has Sometimes approached, if
not reached, the point of brutality.
Frequently for various causes
cadets are made to fight when they
refuse to do certain things they are
told to do. Hazing has about ceased
at other institutions, and because
West Point is a place for military
training is no reason it should net
cease there.-Ex.

HOW THE DIsPENsARY PAYS.
South Cardinals Profits Nearly a Half Mil
lion in Eleven Months.

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 2.-The
Directors of the State Dispensary
to-day made public the annual fnan-
cial statement of the liquor dispen-
sary system. An exact comparison
with former years cannot be made as
the fiscal year 1900 comprises only
the first eleven months, while here
tofore the calendar and the fiscal
year has been the same. Not in
Guiding December, the heaviest trade
month of the year, the sales for 1900
amounted to s., 481, 84O.22, nearly
$3.50, 900 in excess of the entire year
1899. For the twelve months of
1900 the increase will be d million
dollars.
The State received 10 per cent.
net profit, which amounted to $176,-
O12.18. This will be pro rated
among the counties of the State for
the public schools.
The profits accruing to towns and
cities in addition to the States profit
is 1928, 1876. %. This amount is di-
vided equally between the respective
towns and counties in which dispen-
saries + located.
The grand total of profits is $474,-
1886, or 26 per cent. of the sales.
There I SO liquor dispensaries
and % beer ~dispensaries.
The d~ispensary started in business
in 1894 with $500 appropriated by
the State. This has been refunded,
an equal amount invested in real es-
tate, and d stock of $3.50, 600 paid for,
is carried constantly.
The dispensary now claims to be
the largest whiskey bottling estab-
lishment in the world.

GOvERNOR BROGDEN DEAD.

GOldsbOro Cor. Post, 9Th: After a
lingering illness, due in part to the
weight of years, Ex-Governor Curtis
II. BrOgden passed away at his home
near this city at the hour Of t o'clock
this afternoon.
Governor BrOgden was a most re
murka5le man in many respects. At
one time in life, by rigid economy,
he amas=ed quite a fortune, the bulk
of which he lost on personal security
for his party c~onfreres. He was born
in 1916 and was therefore in his
eighty-ffth year. In 1872 he was
elected Lieutenant-Go Governor on the
Republican ticket with Governor
Tod r. Caldwell, and succeeded to
the Governors office on the death Of
the latter. subsequently he served
two terms in Congress as the repre-
sentative from this district.
His was an irreproachable life
honest in all his dealings. He leaves
an estate worth between $4,000 and
$40, 900. He never married.

SPARKS FROM THE WIRES.

All the Populist members of the
Colorado State Senate, eight in mum
Der, entered the caucus of the Dem
Ocratic State members last week and
announced their intention to join
the Democratic party.
Charles C~ounselman, one of the
heaviest grain shippers in the world,
and n of the largest vessel owners
IN the West, in an interesting inter
view bitterly denounces the ship
subsidy bill and announces that he
is building four vessels to ply be-
tween Chicago, Hamburg and Liv-
erpOOl and needs no subsidy.
With words of no uncertain sound
did the Patrons of Pennsylvania
sustain the unanimous action of the
National Grange for two years past
in it's opposition to the ship subsidy
bill "We are against the passage
of the ship subsidy bill, believing
that if our manufacturers can COM
pete with the world in building steel
bridges, locomotives, etc, they
should also be able to build vessels
for our commerce, and, further, that
if we are to go into the bounty bust
ness the agricultural interests should
be helped instead of being required
to help pay for the protection of a
business that is nowIpaying its man
ayers and prOprietors a greater
profit than the farmers receive"
Complete election returns show
that Mr.. Bryan gained strength in
fourteen States and lost in the other
thirty one. Mr.. Mckinley gained in
twenty-fOur States and lost in
twenty-One. Mr.. Bryan's heaviest
gains were in the East. In New
York he gained over 125, 900, in New
Jersey about 10000 and in New
England States nearly 10000. In
Illinois, too, Mr.. Bryan gained
40, 900. On the other hand, a Bryan
majority of 51,116 in Utah was con
verified TO a Mckinley majority Of
1850, and in Colorado Mr.. Bryan
lost over 36, 600. On the Pacific coast
California, Oregon, and Washing
tom u Bryan majority Of 1000 was
transferred intoa Mckinley majority
of 50, 1000.

THE LEGAL ELECTION OF MCKINLEY
AND ROOSEVELT.

If Uhe Constitution of the United
States had worked as it's trainers in
tended, we should all be looking for
ward to the 14th of january with
very keen interest, and probably also
with excitement, heated controversy,
and no little turmoil. For, although
very few people seem to be aware Of
the fact, it is the 18TH of January,
1901, and not the 9Th of November,
1900, that is fixed by law as the date
for the election of the President ana
Vice2President who are to be inau-
gurated on the 4th of March.
On the second Monday Of the pres
ent month Of January, 447 citizens
who we're chosen for that purpose
last November are to vote for d
President and "a Vice-P President OF
the United States. Each one OF
these men has a perfect legal right
to vote for any person whatsoever,
or to vote a blank. Or, he may dis
regard his obligation and not vote at
all. So far as we are aware, all Of
the AL electors are yet alive, and
there is no one throughout the
length and breadth Of the land who
does not expect with entire conf
dence that Mr.. Mckinley and Mr..
Roosevelt will receive 2&2 Of their
votes, and that Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Stevenson will receive exactly 155.
Yet no pledges have been exacted
from any of these men. Their legal
duty does not extend beyond the
simple requirement that they snail
meet in their respective States and
vote by ballot for President and
Vice7President, one Of whom, at
least, shall not be an inhabitaneoof
the same State with themselves =

REPORT OF CORPORATION COMMISSION.

The report Of the Corporation Com
mission is in course OF preparation.
In 1891 the Railroad Commission was
created. The average number of
complaints developed with about 225
IA In 1899 the Railroad Com.
mission was abolished and the Cor
poration Commission was establish
ed. All the duties of the Corporation
Commission were devolved upon it,
and many others besides, as, for eX-
ample, supervisors of banks and
building and loan associations. The
Railway Commission increased the
railway ussesSment from S12, 600, 600
to S32, 600, 900. Then last year the
Corporation Commission increased it
from So, 600, 600 to $40, OOO, 600. 1t
was on this last increase that the
great fight began, which has already
been in progress Is months. No one
knows when it will end, and what it
will cost. The Commission has three
committees in which to take testi-
mOnv before the standing master.
Then the railways will have Il month
in which to take testimony in re-
buttal. After all this the standing
master will make his report to Judge
SimOnton. The Railway Commission
reduced the passenger rates, first
class, from 81 to 81 cents and sec
ond class from 3 to 2I cents.
Freight rates have been reduced
about % per cent. Telegraph rates
we're reduced to % cents for d 10
word day message, from any point
in the State to any other point within
it. The telegraph companies started
to make a big fight and put the case
in the Federal Court, but withdrew
it and accepted the reduction. Then
came the fusion Railway Commission,
put in by Governor Russell, by force
of arms, so to speak. That Com
mission undertook to reduce the
Western Union telegraph rates to Is
cents. When the Corporation Com
mission came in it withdrew this
case and restored the rs cent rate.
The fusion Commission issued an
order reducing the passenger rates
on first class to 2H cents. The Cor
DOratiOn Commission came in and
withdrew this case from the Federal
Courts into which the fusiOnists had
put it.-Ex.

SPAIN AND THE MISUNDERSTANDING
WORLD.

There Is some reason to think that
to Spain the new century viii bring
many compensations for the losses
of territory and prestige it has suf
tered in the century that is now at
an end. OF all the geographical
changes that the politicalmap of the
world has undergone since the early
wears of the nineteenth century, the
shrinkuge in the dominions Of
Spain is the most remarkable. At
the opening of the century the whole
of South America belonged to Spain,
except Brazil, which belonged to
Portugal, and the Guiana settle
ments, which were then mere trading
points on the northern coast. All
of Central America and Mexico be-
longed to Spain and in what is now
the United States, Spain owned
Florida and a very large part of all
the territory west Of the Mississippi,
including California and the Pacific
Coast as far north as Puget Sound.
For a generation previous to the
year 1900, even the vast Louisiana
territory also belonged to Spain.
In addition to these continental col
Onies, Spain owned Cuba and other
West Indian islands, and, off the
coast Of Asia, the great Philippine
group. WHAT'S left to the Spaniards
is, after all, by far their most val
liable pOssession-namely, Spain
itself. There is a point Of view from
which it may be said that Spain has
really lost nothing at all. The pee
pie Of Spain, the common citizens,
have clearly gained rather than lost.
A few merchants of Barcelona, it is
true, have been deprived of prOfita-
bic markets which were theirs by
virtue of excessive tariff arrange
ments, while a certain number of
army officers and civil officials have
lost the opportunity to go out to the
colonies to fatten on the gains of o
rupt administration. But to the
common people of Spain, Cuba and
the Philippines had come to mean
nothing at all except an empty point
of pride and a terrible military tax,
both Of money and of blood of their
sons. The mere sundering of the
bond of political sovereignty does
not make the Spanish-speaking world
any smaller. On the other hand,
SPANS final withdrawal from politi-
cal participation in the affairs OF the
New World, by virtue Of the loss Of
Cuba, is likely enought to be the be
ginning of d new and better rela-
tiOnship between the whole Of Span
ish America and the European
mother, cOuntry.-FrOm The Prog
