THE VALUES IN CLAY.

1t has been said that the State of
Ohio makes more money out of clay
than out of any other one raw mate
rial. The p~otteries, porcelain works
and china works in and about East
Liverpool, Ohio, make n of the
most interesting industries in the
United States. The lockwood pot
teries in Cincinnati make vases and
other wares in the highest styles of
the art of decorated ~porcelains and
china wares.
Industries that use clay as a raw
material vary from the making OF
common brick to those making vases
and china ware in high art.
Prof. j. A. Holmes, State Geolo-
gist, has issued a bulletin No. ID,
entitled "Clay Deposits and Clay In
dustries of North Carolina" He
shows that the State has kaolins, fire
CLAWS, brick clays, and everything
necessary to a valuable development
of industries based upon clay as a
raw material. A number of potter
les are in operation in the State but
they only make ordinary jugware as
a rule.
The finer kaolins and feldspar are
mined to a considerable extent in the
State but the product of these mines
go to Trenton, New Jersey, or East
Liverpool, Ohio.
The bulletin is a valuable one and
The fuu information given about the
claws of the State ought TO lead TO

WAS STANTON A TAR HEEL?

Raleigh Post: This from the Mon
roe Journal by way of enquiry:
''In his speech on the odd South,
delivered some years ago in Balti-
more, the late Gen. d. Fl. Hill said
that Secretary Stanton was born in
Edgecombe county, North Carolina,
though he never admittedit il. Wenever
saw this statement before, and while
it may be old to others, it is new to
us. Will either the Charlotte OBJ
server, the Wilmington Messenger
or the Raleigh Post tell Us about it?"
Either during the war or imme-
diately thereafter we read the state
ment that Mr.. Stanton was a native
of North Carolina. 1t was made in
connection with the statement that
President JOhnson-who continued
Mr.. Stanton in his cabinet until the
difficulty between the President and
Congress became acute-was a North
Carolinian, this State furnishing
these two of the then administration
as Washington. Whether Nh. Stan
ton admitted or denied it we do not
know. All we know is that North
Carolina has never boosted of it.

THE DECLINE IN THE COTTON CROP LAST

NEW YORK, Aug. From a special
canvass just finished by the Journal
of Commerce, it appears that the
condition of cotton is 1853. This
represents a decline of IL points COM
pared with the same papers special
report published July 1st and com
pared.with a condition of rs report ted
by the Government for August LIST
a year ago. The investigation was
made through special correspondents
whose reports cover dates from July
23rd to 3Oth-both inclusive may be
accepted as representing an average
date of July 25th-26th.
The correspondents all answered
this question:
"What is the present condition of
cotton crop in your vicinity, stated
in per oentage?
ACCORDING to the Department of
Agriculture, the basis or unit OF
comparison is 100 which is the stand
ard of full condition, representing
perfect healthfulness, exemption
from injury from insects or drouth
or other causes, with average growth

Of growth of the two races has not
been SO great, but it has, for all that,
been quite marked. There are now
less than ten per cent. more white
people in the region under consider
alton than there were in 1890, while
there are upwards of seventeen per
cent. more negroes. Bordering on
these overwhelmingly black coun-
ties r nine others in each of which
there is a negro majority, but in
each of which the whites constitute
more than one third of the entire
population. In these nine counties,
considered as a whole, the negroes
have, during the last ten years, in
creased more rapidly than the
whites. In 1890 they had 116, SIS me-
gro and $3.50 white inhabitants.
They have now a black population
of 81 ,415, and a white of 100, 1877.
There has been, therefore, in the de-
cade an increase of 10, $40 blacks and
of 10, 997 whites. The respective rates
of increase were 1902 and 1925 per
cent. Twenty years ago, out of ev-
cry one thousand of their residents,
442 were white now only 425 are.
The only other Southern State for
which the race figures have been
made public is Arkansas. In that
State during the last decade the me-
groes have increased more rapidly
than the whites, as they have done
in every census period but one for
the last eighty years. Out of every
10000 inhabitants, 2,797 were ne
groes in 1900. They constitute a ma.
jority, however, in only six counties.
In five of these their preponderance
is very great, and seems to be in
creasing. In no one of the five do
the whites constitute one fifth of the
population, and in one they barely
number one-eighth of the whole"
We shall await with grave inter
est the returns from the Border
States, which we believe will tell a
different story. The natural drift

Governor Makes Rule That Pardon Applica-
tiOns Must be Advertised.

Raleigh Post: Mr.. P. M. Pearsall,
private secretary to Governor Ay-
cock, sent to the State printers yes
terday rules which will be observed
hereafter in all proceedings for secur
ing pardons. AS soon as printed
these rules will be very generally
circulated over the State and will be
rigidly enforced by the Governor in
passing on applications for pardon.
The rules will require that for two
weeks before the pardonis to be con
sidered or acted on by the Governor,
the purpose to apply for pardon shall
be advertised in the county news
paper or notice posted at the court
house and two other places in the
county in which the person was con-
victed and sentenced. This notice
shall give the name of the convict,
the crime of which he was convicted,
the term of court during which the
trial was held and other dates bear
ing on the case
The purpose of the Governor in
deciding to have these rules observed
is 80 give the fullest possible publica-
ton to the pardon proceedings in
order that if there is opposition to
the pardon it's strength can be mar
shaded and the grounds for opposing
the pardon considered at the same
time that the petitions asking par
don are passed upon.
