COTTON MANUFACTURING.

An annual report OF the cotton crop for
the United States, Issued by some cotton
concern, incidentally shows that in the
past year the mills located In the South
have used up about 5000 moro bales of
cotton than were manufactured In the
same territory during the previous yea rs
and somewhere close to 1900 bales more
than were spun and made into cloth two
years aGo. t5 $l. A, 4
These figures may or may not be ac-
curate. We are inclined to think they do
not give the full amount OF increase Tor
the last year We believe the cotton fac
tories In the Southern States consumed
more raw cotton during the last year than
they Indicate. However. the figures show
a most gratifying increase In cotton man
ufacturlng. but nothing. we presume. IN
comparison with what the figures for an
other year will show.
This last assertion is made upon the faith
of we'll authenticated figures pertaining to
factory building in Virginia. and North
Carolina, as we'll as upon the faith OF
personal observation as 10 oucH Ou'Au
Ing. Yf.s
At Danville the new mills that will begin
to convert raw cotton into cloth on De-
cember lat will moro than double tho
figures that for two years past have
shown the consumption OF raw cotton In
that city. Other Virginia mills have
largely Increased their capacity, and there
are but few. II any mills in North Caro-.
lima. that have not enlarged during tho
past year. Accurate figures for anothe'
year we have no doubt. will show an In
creased consumption OF several hundred
thousand bales of cotton in southern
mills.
The day Will come In the lifetime OF
mon now OF voting age when the cotton
that Is raised In the South will DO manu-
featured exclusively in the South, The
South has not reached tho noon Of Its
day OF prosperity yet, but It Is getting
there with gratifying speed. all thing:

NEGRO EDUCATION.

We print elsewhere communication
from MI. s. V. Watkins OF Leesburg, in
further discussion of negro education.
Mr.. Watkins fully concurs In all that
The Times Dispatch said concerning the
education OF the negro slave, but says
that he employed the term education not
In Its broadest sense, but In It's relation
to books.
Mr.. Watkins then proceeds to argue that
book education Is not good thing for
the negro, but does him more harm than
good, as 1t arouses hopes and aspirations
which he can never In his present envlron-
ments realize. He says that education
Is a good thing for the white children
of the land, but "for the negro the door
Of hope must necessarily be closed in

do for him.
We cannot assent to this proposition

stationed at the American legation. This
action was taken on tho suggestion OF
tho Turkish Government. which. has a.
sured tho American minister that It Will
use every precautlon to protect all for

tassics and legations that It would b.
well 10 strengthen the force inside the
buildings.
In case necessity develops, It Us Prob
able that the Turkish Government Will be
requested to allow the United States to
send a detachment OF marines from the
trluadron. which arrived at Beirut to-day.
Minister IIeishman has not yet made such
request Of this government. The United

do so, sI55sa
