Southern competition. The New south
threatens them With advantage cf lo,a-

growing region and close to the coal
mines. The South lacks water power,
which has been the strength of New
England, but it can use steam. and it
has cut down the lead Of New England
to practically one thing, climate. The
finer grades of cotton cloth cannot be
manufactured in the South, it is
claimed, on account OF the climate,
cotton being. very sensitive to the eff
fects of moisture, etc. New England
manufacturers are coming to see that
their only hope is in these finer grades.
Cotton has gone up enormously, Of late,
and the general conditions of cotton
manufactures afe unfavorable to New
England mills. What the result will be
is a matter of conjecture.
Other branches of industry, however
seem to be finding conditions incroaS-
inely favorable, and the effect is felt
in the assessors Office. A good many
amusing stories are told of attempts tC
fool the board, in years gone by but
such attempts rarely succeed. One old
fellow up in ArOostook county Who's

in the State, came into the meeting, a

from hiring such persons. making it

this order is to be strictly enforced, it
will drive them out of business, as it is
impossible for them to obtain laborers,
under such conditions. The sanitary
