THE COTTON INDUSTRY
BRITISH GROWERS ASSOCIATION
ANNUAL MEETING.
The Cotton Industry in Lancashire
is in Critical Condition-PIenty of
Room in African Territory for
Growing the Crop.

London. October 9.-The first annual
meeting of the British Cotton Grow
lers' Association was held in Manches-
ter tonight. The Lord Mayor presided
land the Duke of Marlborough, under
secretary Of the colonies and Sir Fred
Northern Nigeria, were present. Sir
iAlfred Jones, the president Of the as
lsociation said that the cotton industry
IN Lancashire was in a critical cOndi
ton. The supply of raw cotton from
lAmerica was steadily diminishing.
They could not blame the Americans
flor keeping what they need for their
Iown consumption, but the Americans
IcOuld not blame the association for
Hooking abroad for fresh supplies. They
had millions of square miles available
in British African territory and mil
ilions Of available cheap 1aborers. 1t
iOnly remained for them to teach the
blacks to grow cotton, in order to en-
lrich both the natives and themselves
Their work in West Africa was past
1.-THE experimental stage. They could
produce a satisfactory staple n he
WAS glad to show them samples Of
African grown cotton tonight.
Sir Frederick Lugard in a brief ad-
dress said that Nigeria had q territory
Ione-third the size of India available
for cotton growing and he would well
come experts from the association and
give them every facility for developing
the industry.
The Duke of Marlborough said he
had no doubt that the British Empire
could easily make good any deficiency
in the law of sunnly within its borders.

Growing OEn

Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. It does not mean weakness or
~feebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. 1t is OF
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assirrilate food which is the sole source
of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it IS generally because OF he
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food.

George H. White, who once repre-
scented this district in congress by the
grace of the third party, is settling a
colony of negroes on q tract of land
in the lower end of Cape May county,
New Jersey. The tract is $500 acres
in extent, and the Baltimore Sun says
thai already many negro families from
this state and Virginia nave settled
thereon. 1t is Whites purpo to build
several canning factories n to so
diversity employments as to make the
colony as near self-Sustaining as pos
sibIe. His experiment will be watched
with much interest, and the southern
er is not alone in wishing him sue
cess.-Tarboro Southerner.
1t would be funny if George H.
White were to coionize enough negro
voters on his New Jersey lands to
give them political control and he
should secure the nomination n cleo
ton to congress or to the state legis-
lature.

Besides the grtevous loss OF labor,

There is no doubt that n hearty CO.
operation between the police and the

vagrancy here. and prevent the pos
sibility Of such crimes as the one to

We consider this a very important

Homicides in this state continue
with increasing frequency. a record
of them for the past eighteen months
or two years would astonish even the
regular readers of the daily papers.
Kirston is the last to report a fatal
affray. Here one man is killed n
another fatally wounded. The first
thought of nine out of ten men who
get into an alteration is to produce
and use some kind of deadly Weapon.
Men are not willing TO fight with the
weapons nature gave them or to leave
to the courts the settlement of wrongs,
either really existing or only imagined,
but they must take the law into their
own hands, and the result is generally
a homicide or a serious injury in
flicted. There is surely some reason
for the increase of this class of crime
among our people. We surely are not
degenerating. We are not becoming
more savage and british. What. then,
is the cause and what is the remedy?
Where does the fault lie?

Statistics show that in 1896 out Of sc
l%ynching only SO were for assaults on
women. In 1897 only 81 out of 123; in
1898, only % out of 102; in 1899. only II
out of 30: in 1900, only % out of 9S.
These figures ought to make strongly
for Il better public sentiment against
l%ynching. Men who boldly advocate
lynch law for assaults upon women
do not favor breaking down the law
for any other crime.-News and OBJ
server.
We would like to know what percent
age of these lynching occurred at the
south and what proportion of those
taking place in this section were for
offenses other than criminal assaults
upon women. We confess that the
small percentage for this crime in the
total for the entire country surprises
us. We believe that for the south
alone 1t would be a great deal larger.

Attorney Mouton reported that he had
consulted District Attorney Campbell rela-
tive to institu,ing suit against Ralph Fore
man and Alton Foreman for recovery OF

with him to that effect. Attorney Mouton

further time to effect settlement for taxes
and licenses of 1901 and 1902 and same
was extended until next meeting.
Mr.. Mouton reported on behalf OF the
ID. O. Broussard bridge committee that at
joint conference with a like committee
from Verm,lion parish it had been unan-
| mously decided to locate the new bridge at
Columbus Broussard's place some nine
arpents above the old site. Messrs. Mou-
ton, Wilmington and Landry explained the
| circumstances and reasons for adopting the
| new site, originally selected by Shemselves
as the most suitable of any proposed. At
torney Caffery appeared and presented a
hume rously signed. petition of citizens OF
LAFAYETTE parish objecting to the proposed
location on the grounds of inaccessib,lity,
| Inconvenience TO people directly interested
and comforting special benefit on the town OF

ton at or near old site. Mr.. Cade argued
| in favor of placing the bridge 80 feet below
old site and was seconded by Mr.. Blanchet
By motion of Mr.. Buchanan the report o.
the committee was received and actor
thereon postponed until definite information
could be secured of costs of roads and ap
