Ever Experienced.

COMPARATIVELY FEW MADE A PROFIT
Such Was the Statement Of a Prominent Mill
Man Yesterday. List Of the New Mills
Incorporated by Secretary Of State.
Number Increased Capital.

Fifteen new cotton mills were charter
ed in North Carolina last year.
The cotton mill industry did not keep
pace with the growth of the
textile industry in 1900 which was the
most remarkable in the history of the
State.
The past year has been the worst the
cotton mills of this State have ever ex-
perienced, and a gentleman who is in
terested in number of large mills, re-
marked yesterday that comparatively few
of the cotton mills in the State made
money. The erratic price of cot
ton and bad trade were alike responsi-
BILE for the bad conditions with which
the mills had to contend.
OF the fifteen mills incorporated by
the Secretary of State last year at least
one failed to succeed gentleman here
yesterday stated that this particular
mill sold out before it was ready for
operation. Still a great deal of money
was invested in the textile industry in
the State in 1901. More than half a
dozen mills in the State amended their
charters for the purpose of increasing
capital stock. Then again there were a
number Incorporated in 1900, which were
completed last year.
The Labor Commissioners report last
year showed that there were 224 mills
in the course of construction and eigh-
teen more authorized or chartered.
The new mills which were incorpor-
ated by the Secretary of State last year
are as follows:
The Tarboro Knitting Mills of Tar
boro
The Enfield Knitting Company of En-
field. n c.
Cliffsde Mills of Rutherford.
Lockland Mills of Halifax.
Piedmont Cotton Company of Guilford.

Not be Presented.
(By the Associated Press.)

Lexington, KY, JAM 10.-LeXington
Chapter United Daughters of the Con-
federacy has sent a written petition to
Charles B. Scott, Manager of the Lex
ington Opera House, asking that the
play Uncle Toms Cabin never be
played again at the opera house here.
They gave as reasons that the best citi-
ems and old families living in and about
Lexington We're once slave owners, that
the incidents of Uncle Toms Cabin are
not typical Of slave life in the South,
but of isolated cases; that the produc-
tion and it's advertisement with blood
hounds and pictures of an old negro in
chains and slave owner with a whip in
hand present false idea Of the history
of the times to the children of the city
and are in disrespect to the southern
gentlemen and good citizens and their
families in this part of the country.

most prominent women of the Chapter
and is indorsed unanimously by the

Here is Second to None.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 10-At the Cabinet
meeting today Secretary Wilson ex-
planned what had been done by his De-
partment in the way of experiments in
raising tobacco. He stated that it had
been fully demonstrated that we could
raise in this country all the wrapper to-
bacco necessary for domestic use, and
of a quality second to none. In every
particular it was as fine as coultl be
grown in Cuba or any other country.
Last year ten acres of filler tobacco
had been successfully raised in Penn
sylvania of very high grade and dur
ing the coming season extensive expert
ments would be made in raising high
grade filler in Ohio, Texas, North Caro-
lima and California. Last year the inn
ports of wrapper tobacco into the United
States amounted to $4,000, 600 and Of
filler $S,000,00 In a short time, the
secretary said, we would be able to sup
ply our own wrapper and filler of a
grade would challenge the best grown
anywhere in the world

talked over and it is understood that the
only one decided upon was that of Mr..

speech in favor of its adoption. Only
one member voted against the resolution

which he said that in the heat of debate
men We're liable to use language which
they afterwards regretted, and he sin
cerely trusted that whatever in his re-
marks Mr.. Glass construed as offensive
would be considered as gladly Withdrawn
and expunged from the record
The incident was deeply regretted on
all hands, and while it is now thought to
be closed, the convention demonstrated
