A Lesson Which Must Be Learned

OOIuINDIH SIdIP,
 We are encouraged to think that throughout S. ',A Carolina the people are at last beglnnta.; to realize how impossi- hle it Is for prosperity, real prosperity, have but a single source of income. A diversihcation of industriee. a variety of pursuits is absolutely indispensable to any community which would truly thrive. To find State. a County. Il town. gor a locality where all the inhabitants are seeking livelihood In the selfsame man. ner means to find a State. a County. a town or a locality where poverty Is prev alent. Diversifcation of industries is not merely and aid to progress; 1t Is abso- lutely essential to 1t.

HE DOESN'T KNOW.

. A colored Ohio professor, name OJones, declares that what the negro needs is not industrial education, but religious train- lng. or words to that effect We do not know how it is in Ohio. but he should come to Montgomery, or any other large city of the South. Here he would see 1treets and sidewalks crowded during the week days with idle negroes who are badly in need of industrial training Then if he will go out on Sundays to the numerous colored churches he will find them crowded, with the most attentive and enthusiastic assemblages to be found anywhere.
 The truth is, there is probably not a race or people on earth who are more thoroughly devoted to all the forms of religion, at least, than are the negroes of the South. Whether the religious training" they get is always Of the prop CT kind, or of the kind that is best for plenty of 1t. They will neglect all other matters, put themselves to all kinds of inconveniences and submit to real hard ships and privations. but they will attend religious exercises and will pay church dues.
 What the negroes of the South need Is the kind of training-call it religious or anything else-that will teach them that labor is both honorable and necessary; that 1t Is duty they owe to themselves, their families and to the State. In one sense that might be called rel lgious train- ing. for 1t will make 5hem better and happier. They need this, but there is certainly no lack of religious ceremonies. at all events.

In the Fifty-eighth Congress these States will have six additional Represen- tarfves, or 107 in all. If the Psnnsylvania coal strike causes Democratic wave !n the coal-producing States, there will be trouble for the Republicans. It Is not conceivable that there can be an over whelming turning over in these states, even if the roal miners should vote the Democratic ticket, unless perchance the loal consumers should join in to make it a complete sweep. But politics brings surprises occasionally. and 1t Is only nec- essary to revert to the election which brought in the last Democratic House ten years ago and see how these States were divided in the Fifty-second House:

CUBA CONGRATULATED SENATE WELCOMES IT 4Nto

Senators Wellington and Bacon At tack the Philippine Policy of the Majority-Anniston GetS $So'-
 GOO More for Building.

Washington, May 21.-Before the Senate resumed consideration of the Philippine bill today, it adopted a resolution con graduating the Republic of Cuba on its entry into the family of independent na- tions. The Senate also ordered the As- sociated Press accounts of the ceremo- nies of the transfer from the United States to the Cuban authorities, printed in The Congressional Record and as a public document MT. Wellington (Md). and said the action of the United States in the islands was indefensible as the at- tack of the hordes of hell on God,
 Mir Wellington said that it seemed that efforts had been maGe to make infa- nous the American name by every act of unbridled license"
 MT Bacon (Ga) then resumed his speech on the Philippine bill. When he camps, MT. Spooner inquired If it was his purpose to fasten upon the American arm the odium of Waylerism. He said the term reconcentrado stood for pol of General Bell in issuing the coRcentra- ton order and he believed MT Bacon knew that the General had no such pur' pLSe.
 to this matter simply to show the Ameri- can people Nhas were the results of the PhilippiSe policy in order that. under standing it. they night be induced to abandon it.
 Discussing the term "scuttle." as ap- piled to the Philippine policy, he declared that what the minority now asked to the done as to the Philippines was precisely what leading Senators of the majority wanted to tc done in the beginning and after quoting rom speeches of Messrs. Lodge ,d Fora&cr. Mr. Bacon sai1: If these Senators will say to us that it is the purpose of the United States to let these p.opla stand alone and ultimately to give them freedom. we will not quar- rel about the time. What we want to know s that this excrescence is to be cut off from our body polite"
 At thls point he was compelled to sus- pend owing to the condition of his throat.
 Mir Fairbanks then called up the om- nibus public building bill. It was amend ed so as to increase the appropriations for tae public building at Macon. Ga, from $l66.o0 to $390,000. Additions were made of $25.o09 for the proposed building at Anniston, Ala, and &5.gQo for Albu- querQuc x NJ. As thus amended. the aggregate appropriation carried by the bill is ST. .235, ,150. It passed after consid- eration for an hour and three minutes.

II. & B. Beers Cotton Letter.
fsneciAl to Tha Adverti.er. |

' NEW ORLEANS. May 2i.-Large Egyptian buying orders and spinners calling cotton short to them by importers. occasioned the sharp advance in Liverpool Our market re- sponded by opening 6 to points higher on old crop months and 1 to points on new
 subsequently advancing 3 to 22 points addi- tionai on near positions and to II points on late. owing to the report that the Boer war had been settled and that peace terms would be officially announced shortly Near the close values eased cff slightly on realiz .ng making the net gain 8 to 2s points on sum mer options and to l 1 points on new. There was an improved local demand for spots with sales of 2. 900 at one-sixteenth advance.
 If this continues and speculation again en- ters the article. prices may enhance further
 however, judging from Manchester cables re- porting that i6. .ooo. 900 sp!ndles there have been resorting to four days short time week. ly during the past eight weeks and that afl of these spipdles will be closed, down entire ly during the holidays it would seem that textile trade conditions in Great Britain are not good especially as the stocks of yarns are increasing. Crop prospects are very favor able. therefore, the probability is spinners will evidence no easerness to lay in any new supply considering the heavy discounts fall months are being sold at. with the chances in favor of free September movement We again urge our friends against operating in the sum mer months either way, and suggest that transactions be confined to new crop positions.

In addition to this the imp.e es- sion was conveyed that peace would certainly result from present negotiations in South Al rica. which had . tendency to establish a more confident feeling in. all branches of busi- ness abroad. From the opening very steady tone was displayed here and the demand grad uaiiy Increased as 1t became apparent that 2 better Inquiry for spots had developed or ferinss diminished and prices improved sharp " without any opposition of conseauence Closing quotations are l6 to 26 points higber next.

 With the first indication of a widening in /. terest amongst prospective buyers of actual cotton the market has responded in very liberal way. As q matter of fact the summer positions have been effected to a greater ex- tent by this condition. the new crop deliveries being under the adverse infiuenc of hattering Government crop reports which have created the belief that an unusually early and rapid movement will be observed in the beginning of the new season The danger. of transactions 5 in summer deliveries either way however has again been demonstrated and the situation continues to command the exercise of extra caution

Murphy 6 Co.'S unc) Cotton Letter

NEW YORK. May 2I.-weathcr in the cot ton belt today was perfect in every section, the only station near the cotton belt reporting rain being Chattanooga. Moreover. the tenn peratures were high enough and the absence of rain reports left the bull element without opportunity for calling attention to alleged excessive moisture. Nevertheless, cables were quite buIlish when we opened ani the market here advanced to 5 points. Continental buy. ing at Liverpool was reported and New York rose to 10 points during the first Eour with bulls in full control for a while when profit taking for the time being put an end to the upward trend. Both sides were confident but bulls appeared to have the advantage since Liverpool closed 2h to points advance. nev- erthelsss buyers were not eager. The spot market is believed by many to be the key to the situation and the willingness of mills to secure cotton is too important to be ignored despite 1ne weather conditions. It is under stood that New England mills are paying ioAc in Georgia for strict mddlng and similar re- ports are at hand from other sections The receipts are quite small everywhere and while one side contend that the low price ha checked the movement. others contend that signs of exhaustion are daily multiplying A see-sav market is probable until the bureau report is made public June 5. Indications were for showers in the carolinas anl fair weather elsewhere. Wall Street interests ap- pear agatp on the bull side
