The south's Cotton interests.
Chicago Inter-ocean


The manufacturing activity in the south led
TO great Increase in the production of cotton.
In 1880 the cotton product was sos, 942 bales,
valued at $3.50, 2Ss COO. In 1897 the first year Of
McKinley's administration, the product was
IL zoo 900 bales. valued at $780, $50 600 Last year
the 10, 1888, 900 bales had value of 1894 SCI 900.
In the year 1897, our exports of cotton cloth
to China increased from 73 261, 900 yards to 140,
121,O00 yards. In 1899 China took 22l, O43, 900
yards of cotton cloth. In 1900 she took 1872, 023 =
900 yards, and In 1901, exactly 49, S59, 900 yards
In 1897 our exports of manufactured cotton
to Japan increased from 20. 1874, 900 pounds to
32.O1l, 900 pounds. and went up in 1898 to ILL.,
200 900 pounds and In 1900 to 49, co., OOO pounds,
though they dropped Ia 1901, for special rea-
son, to 81, 49, 600 pounds.
These figures show why the south is inter-
ested IN the development of our Asiatic trade.
While China was taking great quantities of
cotton manufactures, Japan was constantly
increasing her purchase OF unmanufactured cot
ton. The south furnished all of the raw pro-
duce for Japan and a fair part of the manufac-
tured product for ChinaL
There were other heavy purchasers Of cotton
and cotton products in Asiatic countries, but
the largest customer wasgChina, and the Boxer
rebellion, which cut down the Chinese demand
for cotton manufactures more than one-half,
also cut down the demand for raw cotton from
Japan. The south, therefore, felt the Boxer re-
bellion more severely than any other part of the
country, and IT Is more interested in the re-
opening Of trade in China and peace In the
Philippines than any other part.

nothing about camp life or economizing
with their scanty rations. consisting of
one pound of corn meal and one-third of
a pound of bacon. 1t was either feast
or famine. and mostly a famine, as
they could eat up three days rations in
one and starve the other two. l saw them
often among the regulars trying to buy
bread, which some of the boys were mean
enough to sell them for $l.O0 per loaf.
How much better Judge Emory Speer, the
boy soldier, Jared by joining those old
soldiers from the dark and bloody ground,
who, as 1t were. took him under their
wings and nourished and protected him
like a brother. No doubt the last beat
of his noble and generous heart will go out
in loving remembrance of those gallant
Kentuckians who stood by him in the
days that tried mems souls.
Write again Comrade Speer. No doubt
you passed through many thrilling scenes
between Griswoldville and Bentonvtlle
after you had Joined the cavalry. We re-
NAMED in the works at the same place for
eleven days with picket and artillery fir
ing along the lines every day, but neither
side left the works they occupied. One
day Private Lloyd, of company NJ an
Englishman, stole set of plough gear
and brought them in the works; in South
Carolina a lady gave him his dinner and
he stole the knife and fork he ate it with,
and afterwards deserted to the enemy at
Pocataligo.
On the night of the 10th of December,
1864, the enemy having captured Fort Nc
Allister General Hardee withdrew his
lines and crossed the Savannah river on
a bridge made of rice barges fastened end
to end. AS we passed through the city
guns were firing in every direction, doors
were being knocked down. women and
children were screaming and the devil to
pay generally. I was told the city was be-
ing ransacked by citizens and soldiers
alike.
After we passed beyond the rice planta-
lions we halted and dropped down to
catch few hours rest and sleep out of
range Of the whistling minies and the
bursting shells. We crossed the river by
the light of the burning boats down the
river. Another dark chapter had been
added to the fate of the Confederacy in
the fall of Savannah.

Carolina, then came Lee with his light
horse and then the seige of Augusta
and again the city was in the hands
the refugee soldiers were at home
again, and the Tories fed for refuge
anywhere they could hope to find shelf
er. The militia with John Twiggs as
brigadier, now swept over the desola1ed
state. Jackson with his partisan bat
TALON hurried on Savannah, captur-
ing the negroes and burning the barns
of the Tory rice planters. Piclzens and
Twiggs moved on the Indians. Small
bands of Wings were in all sections,
and the British were finally shut UP in
Savannah. Then came Yorktown and
Wayne marched his brigade to Geor-

Savannah surrendered and Georgia
was free. The legislature met the Au-

The war was now virtually over, but
poor Georgia was a desolation from
the st. Marys to Rabun Gap. Many
of her people were now returning from
exile to their ruined homes. Many OF
her best were exiIed loyalists in Eng
land and the British Isles. Antago~
nisms which the lapse Of a hundred
years has not destroyed sprang up be-
tween men of the same kith. Not
school had been opened, not a pulpit
occupied during this four years. Cab
FMS were burned, handsome homes RI
fed. delicate women forced to fight
fields were untitled. The soldiers were
haIf-clad and half-starved and had
been so Infatuated that cruelty to their
foes seemed to them a virtue.
But it was not long before the dark
day had it's end, and Georgia, free and
independent, was prosperous and hap
by.
Her people. although there had been
q reign of rapine and bloodshed were
nrrf Of ha q (1r1d-
fearing, nberty-loving. true-hearted
people and the reign OF. law was at
once established. The hate of the
brigands who claimed to be loyalists
and who robbed and murdered their
fellow-citizens led to acts Of private
vengeance for a few years but before
the century fairly began there was an
end to the internecine war and neigh
bors were at peace once more.

er was confronted by Timothy DoIan,
who occupies the fiat directly above
the one occupied by Oelfeuer. When
Do1an attempted to block the mans
way he was threatened with death.
Dolan stepped aside and Oelfeuer
made his way to the attic, where he
concealed himself behind a chimney
Meanwhile the crowd, now number
ing hundreds, was battering on the
doors or throwing stones at the win
dow blinds. They would have broken
into the Oelfeuer fiat and dragged the
man out had not Dolan informed
them that he had fed.
The Canalport avenue police station
is only a short distance from the
scene of the tragedy and when a man,
hat1ess and excited, arrived at the
station and notified the police of the
crime, Policemen Mill and Bresna-
han were dispatched to the house.
They arrived just as the crowd had
determined to drag Oelfeuer out Of
the attic.
When the policemen, cropping their
way through the attic, reached the
corner where Oelfeuer was hiding he
warned them not to touch him. The
policemen continued to advance and
the murderer, springing to his feet,
pressed his revolver against Nihi1l's
stomach, at the same time pulling the
trigger. But the empty revolver mere
ly clicked and Oe1feuer reached for
second pistol which he had in his
pocket. Before he could secure 1t
the policemen overpowered him
The crowd made no attempt at vio-
Ience as Oelfeuer was led to the po-
lice station, although cries of hang

Mrs. Oe1feuer was killed instantly.
Miss Stramm, who was shot in the
right shoulder, was taken to the
county hospital, where it was said she
would recover.
Walter Oe1feuer, the 14-months-old
son, was shot in the left side. The
baby, too, taken to the hospital,
where it expired.
Mrs. Oe1feuer sustained two
