FACTORIES in SOUTH
Remarkable Activity and Progress
During Past Decade.
Manufacturing Plants IL Recent De-
Velopment In Southern Industrial
Life-stntistics Relating to
Cotton Mills.

The recent meeting of the Manu-
facturers club, at Charlotte, n. c.,
was the occasion of several notable
addresses, but the most remarkable
feature of the occasion was the meet
ing itself. Manufacturing in the
south is a thing of recent origin, be-
ing practically the growth of the
past ten years. According to the
indianapolis journal no other sec
ton of the country ever made as
rapid progress in the development of
manufactures, and especially of cot
ton manufactures, as the south has
done during this period. Remarkable
progress has been made in some
other lines of manufacturing, but
especially in cotton. South Carolina
has taken the lead in the new order
of things. In 1894 that state had
80 mills with 629,67j spindles. In
1895. 90 additional companies were
chartered with a total capital of
Sa,76j,0O0; in 1896 10 more were in
corporated, with capital stock of
$1,Oj0,000; during the year ending
August 81, 1898, there were added
1,532 spindles; in 1899 IL new mills
were chartered with an aggregate
capital of $3,27j,OOO, and 1G factories
increased their capital stock by ST.
10000 Statistics for the year 1900
are not at hand, but it is known they
show continued progress. 1t is per-
haps literally true, as one of the
speakers at Charlotte said, that "the
center of cotton manufacturing in
the United States has been trans
ferred from Fall River, Mass, to CO.
lumbia, S. c. Other states show al
most equal progress. Take North
Carolina for instance. In 1894, of 400
cotton mills in the entire south,
North Carolina had the largest num-
Der, though not the largest mills. In
1895 she had $50 mills, with 9j3,45S
spindles; in 1897 she had about 200
factories. in 1898 there were 207, and
in 1899 there were 900 mills with
1,Gls,OOO spndles. Last year North
Carolina produced 100000 bales of cot
ton, of which 100000 were used by
mills within the state. Mention is
made here only of cotton manufac-
turing. but there has also been great,
though not equal, progress in other
lines. As a result, the south is now
with a new life, and for
the first time in her history begins
to realize her possibilities in the
way of material development and
For the first time in her
history she is giving genuine welcome
not only to manufacturing capital
but to the commercial spirit which
dominates all progressive countries.
In no other Fart of the United States
are the people showing as intelligent
of the vast possibilities
of eastern trade and as much anxiety
to secure it as the people are in the

BEATEN BY THE OLD YACHT.
utcs. by shamrock l., i'm a Tri-
angular Twenty-Mile Race.

Weymouth, May 13.-The Erin
towed in both the Shamrocks, Sunday,
in a hot, hazy calm, which gave little
promise of racing weather. The
yachts anchored inside the Portland
breakwater. During the night a
fresh easterly breeze piped up, and
early Monday morning it was blow
ing a half gale, and big white sea
was running outside.
The weather conditions were all ia
vorable for fair trial, with the wind
fresh AMI steady, the course clear of
all distractions and no tides of any
consequence. Shamrock l. beat Sir
Thomas Lipton's new boat by five
minutes and five seconds over TRAN
gular course of about 20 miles. The
only possible disadvantage to the chal-
lenger was in the fact that she used
her old mainsail, which sits worse
since it's water bath of Thursday.
There was no discoverable holding
back of the challenger, although once
or twice she pointed such a course as
left the suspicion that the steersman
was not taking advantage of every
chance. There is nc doubt the result
of the trial was distinctly disappoint-
ing to those who had pinned their
faith to the new challenger, especially
as Shamrock l., on the previous spins,
had not showed even equality with
the new racer on any point of sailing
with the exception of running.

Peoria, ILL.,, May 13.-Burglars en-

this city, Sunday night, through a sky
light, broke into the safe and Sc
cured about 81 900 in cash. The meth
cd employed in breaking into the safe
was exactly the same as that used
by the men who recently made the
big haul of revenue stamps at the

operations the burglars broke a gas
jet and gas poured into the room in
great volumes. Had a match been
struck when the store was opened
the building would undoubtedly have

SAVING THE SITUATION.
The Stock Exchange Committee and
NJ. ]. P. Morgan Helping the
London Shorts Out.
THE MAKING UP PRICE is FIXED At l40.
There II Much Nervousness, Yet, In
View of the Fact That the Relief
May be Only Temporary, and
That Another Crisis May be Pre-
cipitnted.

London, May 13.-The stock ex-
change committee and Mr.. j. p. Nor
gan have come to the rescue of the
situation, and the difficulty in which
operators and brokers who have given
calls for Northern Pacific for the end
of May and July found themselves, is
satisfactorily settled.
The committee decided that the
"buying in" of Northern Pacific COM
mon and preferred be suspended for
the present. This means that the
stock need not be delivered immedi-
ately. The committee also fixed the
making up price of Northern Pacific
common at 40. Mr.. Morgan is lend
ing Northern Pacific at "evens," that
is, for nothing.
Decided satisfaction has been ex-
pressed on the stock exchange here
over the tentative settlement of the
Northern Pacific crisis. The repre-
sentatives here of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
Powell, Jackson & Georger, said:
There is much nervousness in view
of the fact that the relief may be
only temporary and that another cri-
sis may be precipitated by the action
OF either Mr.. Morgan or Mr.. Harri-
man. The suspension of the settle
ment, announced by the committee, is
of indefinite duration, but each day
gained helps the liquidation of ac-
counts. The brokers worst affected
generally hold options on Northern
Pacific they can realize on in June
and July. In the meantime salvation
depends on the leniency of Mr.. Nor
gan and Kuhn, Loeb & Co."
1t is understood that Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., as we'll as Mr.. Morgan, are quietly
lending shares to their friends who
have been caught in the squeeze.
The committee also decided that
the settling price for preferred was
to be 10, but the amount involved is
OF minor Importance.

American manufacturers of glucose
sugar, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, are not much concerned about
the new British duty on the article. In
fact, they say it will prove beneficial
in the end, for, while it will add TO the
market price of the article, the imposi-
ton of the duty gives it an official
standing it has not had before. This
country exports about 10000 tons of
glucose products.

PERSIAN CARPET WEAVING.
Finest Work Done by Boys Eight to
Twelve Years Old.

From the Scientific American
A replica of the famous carpet from the
mosque of Ardabi, which is now preserved
in the South Kensington Museum, London,
is being made at Tabreez, Persia, the CEN
ter of the carpet-making industry Of that
country. The Towering and designing of
this carpet are absolutely unique A hand
painted design of the original has been fur
nished to the Persian weavers, and so skill
fully is the work being carried out that it
is stated by the English consul general
that when completed it will be equal in
every respect to the original carpet, so
faithfully is the, work being reproduced
both with regard to colorng and detail
The carpet is being woven by boys ranging
from eight to twelve years of age. They
sit in serried rows before their looms Their
method of procedure is to pull the wool
from a reel suspended saboye their heads
in their left handss9andA with fiat knife
provided with a crooked point in their
right, dash the thread. with three move
ments, through the web strings, hook 1t
into the desired knot, cut off the surplus
ends and start another Cknot. The work is
carried out with such remarkable rapidity
that it is almost impossible to follow the
movements of the weaver. Before setting
to work the Weavers closely study the
painted design which they have to repro
duce, and then depend entirely upon their
memories to enablestheIlwork to be COM
pleted. Their memories are so reliable that
it is very seldom they will refer back to
the painted design When working upon a
complicated pattern the foreman of the
loom-a boy about fourteen years of age
walks up and down, calling out in a Curl
Gus monotone, the number of stitches and
the colors of the threads to be used The
Persian rugs and carpets are made by hand
throughout, and none but vegetable or nat
ural dyes are employed. 1t is to this fact
that the longevity and durability of the
Persian rugs are attributable, especially
in connection with the colorings.

THE ODOR OF DISEASE.
Smells That Are Valuable as n Means
of Diagnosis.

of Diagnosis.
From the Medical Recorder.
Berard says that, apart from the excre-
tions an abnormal odor of the skin tends
to draw flies, and that, however little no.
ticeable 1t may be, it denotes death is near;
and Boerhaave held that cadaveric odor
always presages death. Althaus tells us
that Skoda was hardly eyer led into error
by this indication, and Compton also laid
great stress upon this as clinical symp-
tom; but the smell given off during the
death agony" is totally different from the
death odor Chat of putridity) and is uni
versally admitted to be specific. In gout
the skin secretions take a special odor
which Sydenham compared to whey: 1t is
sour or at least sourish, and there is an
excess of ammonia. In rheumatism 1t IS
acetoformic, particularly in the regions OF
engorged articulations (Monin); it is a sour
smelling, acid perspiration. In diabetes the
smell is sweetish and mawkish. as of hay,
according to Latham, acetone, says Pl-
cot, and midway between aldehyd and
aCetone. being due to mixture in variable
proportions of the two bodieS, according
to Bouchardat
A musky odor obtains to several mala-
dies, notably peritonitis, jaundice and ic-
teruS; and stale, sour beer odor to scrofu-
losis. The pyemic person has sweet
nauseating breath, with perhaps a flavor
of new-mown hay. In milk fever the smell
is distinctly acid; in typhoid, musty, often
with the odor of blood; in tphus, ammo
niacal and mouse-lke, which latter also
obtains to favus; in intermittent the odor
is that of fresh baked brown bread; yellow
fever has a cadaveric smell, or like the
Washings of dirty gun barrel. In measles
it closely resembles freSh-picked feathers;
in diphtheria, is sickening and gangrenous
an odor that is absolutely pathognomonic;
in smallpox, according to severity and
stage, it ranges from that of the fallow
deer to the dreadful one of the whole
menagerie, or it may be that of burning
horn or bones. Hysteria usually develops
an odor of violets or pineappes; sudamina,
that of putrid straw; scabies, moldy; ane-
mia and cholera, ammoniacal. Otorrhea
has peculiar, clinging, long-lasting odor
that once observed will never be forgotten;
so too, is the odor of a hen roost that OBJ
tains to ozenas and bad chronic catarrhs.
Gangrene has an old, dead meat SMELL as
have some cancers at certain stages. At
the onset of the plague the odor is sweet, or
honey-like, according to Doppner.
