Lest We Forget. :"

In all the world the most mis-
cradle spot at the present mo-
ment is Macedonia, whose people
are fighting, not for power, not
independence, not for CONNER
cia1 advantages, but for the ele-
mentary rights TO life and home
and the honor of their women.
In the course Of the ages many
nations have had their period of
insolent propriety and power.
Even we, who stand confidently
at the summit now, may find it
profitable, lest we forget" to
look at imperial Macedonia,
whose King once wept because
there were no more worlds to
conquer.
When the phalanx ploughed
through the helpless hordes of
the barbarians of Asia it would
have seemed to the soldiers Of
Alexander wild prediction that
the time could ever come when
Asia would have her revenge and
the barbarian would be lord of
Macedon.
Butt the revenge has been even
more complete than that, for the
people of Alexander have not
only fallen from power-they
have ceased to exist. Macedonia
has become a geographical ex-
preston.
The Bu1garians who now call
themselves Macedonians are
themselves descendants of bar
barous invaders from Asia. The
Servlans and Roumanians who
share the country are Aryan in
vaders from henorth. Possibly
there may be trace of the Mac
edonian blood among the Greeks
of the coast, but that is all.
And still the wheel Of fortune
turns. The Turkish opressor
is having his day, but it is mani
testify nearing it's end. Soon the
dominion of the Sultan will join
that of Alexander in the Gene
terry of the dead empires and a
new power will take it's place
for how 1ong?-New York

The New York Commercial,
discussing the disposition of the
cotton crop, concludes that cot
ton goods manufacturing in the
north is dwindling with a speed
which few appreciate.
Thirteen years ago." adds
the Commercial, the mills of the
south took 1888 per cent of the
cotton crop consumed by Ameri-
can mills: the north took 1871 per
cent. In 1903 the percentage,
while not wholly reversed, show
ed change that commands at
tention. The south now takes
50:42 per cent: the north 1888.
For the first time in it's history
the south leads as a maker of
cotton goods. With the begin
ming of September, the years
crop of cotton stood 10,727,559
bales, an increase of 46;879 bales
over last year. The value of the
crop is $3.50, 77O,282. It is i'm
possible to say just what the
southern manufacturer paid for
his cotton, because many of the
mills contracted for their sup
plies early; in fact, fully Is per
cent of the purchases were made
before the increase in the price
of raw material began. At any
rate the southern manufacturers
did not pay an exorbitant price
for their portion of the mill taxi
ings, 2,000,729 bales of American
and 9,678 actual bales OF foreign
cotton, the latter mostly Egypt
ian. This is equal to 1883
American bales. Northern mills
consumed a total of zoos, 900, of
which $50, 347 bales were foreign
cotton.
This truth is interesting in
view of the situation in the south
ern mills, as occasionally describ-
ed by men with an ak to grind.
Careful investigation seems to
show that while there has been a
curtailment of production at some
of the mills, every bale of cotton
obtainable has in general been
used. There has actually not
been enough cotton to supply the
domestic demand. High prices
of raw meterial and low rates for
the manufactured product have
not been without effect, but the
truth remains that Southern cot
ton manufacturers, taking the in
dustry as whole, have just ex-
perienced the busiest year in the
the history of cotton mills in the
South. There are 40 cotton
mills on Southern territory, an in
crease of 404 in thirteen years.
Of these a few are under con-
struction. The total number of
spindles in operation is 6,889,454.
Adding idle and incomplete spin
dies total of 8,248,27 is reached.
The final figures indicate the
spindles which will be available,
say January 1st. The Carolinas
are striking examples of the in
crease. South Carolina is add
Ing $1,000 spindles to its total,
and North Carolina 294.0O0."
1t is question of but a few
years until the South will lead in
both cotton and iron manufac-
turing. We have the raw mate
rial and it is a business PROPOSE
ton for capital to come to it.

a roaring farce. The riders seemed to

Dragoman threw his rider at the second
jump, and bolted the course He was
captured after a chase lasting several
minutes, and remounted by George Cur

jump nicely and raced upon even terms

After several futile attempts to get

to clear it, however. and toppled over in
the water. while Dragoman came home
