THE VALUE OF TECHNICAL EDU.
CATION.

Upon the subject OF technical edu-
cation, Mr.. ID. \. Tompkins makes
these practical remarks: Cotton
may he increased i'll value by know-
edge and skill from 20 cents IL pound
To so Il pound, The Sea Island
cotton i'll the raw state Is worth 20
cents II pound. The same cotton
made into fine French organdies or
Swiss embroideries is worth $40 Il
pound The difference is almost all
compensation to the persons who do
the Work-thOse who know how and
have the skill to do it. To do this
requires technical education and
practical training. For the produc-
ton OF fine goods he design requires
the taste and skill of an artist. In
tapestries the highest taste and skill
i'll art are required. In the produc-
ton OF fine artistic fabrics there lies
great opportunities for the Southern
youth. but these opportunities car
only be brought within reach OF the
coming generation by technical edu
cation.

1t used to be possible to make

list to-day an occasional cotton crop
may be made and marketed with
profit, but the loss resulting from the
very next seasons operations will i'll

the other side of the ledger. The ''all

for food crops for man and beast,
out of which is set aside Il sufficient
quantity for the maintenance of the
farm from years end to years end.

value OF farm buildings and three
fourths the value OF lands and i'm

Including farm implements and ma

GOOD RESULTS WILL FOLLOW
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
Following the cessation Of hostiii-
ties in South Africa the pulse of COM
mercial life will throb with renewed
vigor, not only in the British market,
but throughout the whole globe. On
account of the magnitude Of the
operations which have been in pro-
gress in South Africa for more than
two years past the traffic of the Whole
| civilized world has been affected in
| greater or less degree.
To begin with, the South African
| gold mines, which are the most pro-
life sources of the yellow metal in
| existence. and which until the out
break of hostilities were yielding
an output of 500, 100000 annually,
have been idle ever since the war
commenced; and when it is remem-
bered that the South African gold
mines furnish nearly one-fourth OF
the worlds supply Of the yellow
metal, it can be readily seen that the
resumption of activities is bound to
improve matters materially. There
can be no doubt of the fact that the
cutting OFF Of such an important
source of supply for the monetary
market has seriously affected tinan-
cial exchanges; but with the altered
condition Of affairs in South Africa
good results are bound to accrue
which will be felt in all quarters.
Great Britain has subdued the
Beers at very great cost to her tinan
cial resources, the total expenditure
for the war up to date being little
short of 1926, 900, 900, to say nothing
of the frightful loss Of human life
Naturally the whole British empire
feels relieved over the happy turr
which affairs have taken, as it re
moves the great incubus which ha
for more than two wears has beer
: paralizing British enterprise and de
moralizing British trade and in view
of the worldwide interests which arr
affected by the status OF the British
market it stands to reason that tn
world at large will experience salu
tary results from the peace settle
ment which is now the occasion Of s,
much self-congratulation on the par
8 of Great Britain.
! While the failure of the Beers t
!, achieve the object for which the
/ have so manfully fought will enlis
. for them the sympathy of peopl
/, everywhere. it is nevertheless tru
that the Beers have emerged fror

as they have done; and we are sati
fed that brighter days are in stol

FORTY FORTS CAPTURED.
Captain Pershlns InftIets Disastrous
Defeat on Maein Moros.

Manila, Oct. 5.-Capt. John ]. Per-
shing's column has completely routed
the Macin Moros, in the island of Min
danao. killing or wounding a hundred
OF them and capturing and destroying
forty forts. Two Americans were
wounded.
Tuesday the Moros retired to their
largest and strongest fort on the lake
shore. and Wednesday Capt Pershing
attacked them with artillery, lombard
ing the enemy for three hours.
At noon Lieutenant Loring, leading a
squad of men, attempted to set fire to
the fort. He crept under the walls and
started a blaze, but the Moros discov-
cred him and forced the Americans to
retreat.
During the afternoon the Sultan Of
Cabugalan led a sortie at the head Of
a band of fanatics armed with krisses.
They crept through the grass and
sprang up and attacked the Americans.
The Sultan was wounded six times and
boloed an American before he died. His
followers were killed.
In the darkness Wednesday night
Captain Pershing took his batteries
within a hundred yards of the fort,
closed In his infantry lines and resumed
the attack. The Moros broke through
twice and attempted to escape by the
beach. but were discovered and many
OF them killed.
The Moros abandoned the fort early
Thursday, after fifteen hours lombard
ment. and Thursday Captain Pershing
destroyed the rest of the forts and re-
turned to Camp Wears.
1t is believed the moral effect OF the
defeat of the Moros will be great. GEN
eral Davis has ordered that hostilities
be stayed in order to permit the Sultan
of Bacalod and other hostile Sultans to
make peace.
The Sultans of Macin were confident
of their ability to defeat the Americans
and vowed before the fight to enter
slavery voluntarily II they themselves
were defeated.
General Davis has sent General Sum-
ner, in command of the American
forces in Mindanao. a congratulatory
telegram on the success of Captain Per-
shing and the small American loss
