THE BREMEN COTTON EXCHANGE
Most Imposing Structure of the Kind
in the World.

Two things occurred in Bremen during
the year just ended that were OF interest
TO our people engaged in growing and
selling cotton. One was the opening Of
the Bremen cotton exchange and the
other the publication Of book entitled
Die BaumwOlle" (CottonJ. says Henry

been getting their product chiefly from
Havre and Liverpool. very little being

Of British ports. IL was necessary to get
the patronage Of the inland spinners
This proved no easy task Not until =

ment has been phenomenal While the
Importation Of cotton In the year 1870
amounted to only 1877 Csc bales. il ran ny
TO 397. 99S bales in the year 1880. Ten
years later there were Sl2.53S bales, and
the year 1900 showed the enormous
figure Of 1.567.O45 bales.
The new cotton exchange is said 20 be
not only the most imposing structure OF
this nature in the world but also the
most complete in the appointments

THE BIRD LAW.
Against the Law to Kill Bullbats-A
Warning to Sportsmen.

Attention is called to the statemelt
issued by Prof. T. Gilbert Pearson,
secretary of the State Audubon So
ciety, published below. As will be
seen it is against the law to kill bull
bats. and as the time when they are
usually shot is approaching, this no
tice is timely. Prof. Pearson says:
According to recent act OF the
Legislature, generally known as the
Audubon Bill, the song and insect
eating birds of the State, together
with their nests, are now protected
from destruction by law. One of the
most valuable birds in North Caro-
lima is the night hawk, usually known
as :bullbat.' This bird feeds ex-
clusivelv upon insects, eating large
quantities of flies, gnats and grass
hOpperS, which are so troublesome
to man, but perhaps he renders US
no greater service than by eating
mosquitoes. Since it is now known
that the malady known as malaria
is carried by mosquitoes and trans
mitted by their bite there certainly is
strong reason why the bullbat should
be accorded the protection which he
so readily deserves. Ithas long been
the custom in many sections OF North
Carolina to shoot these birds in great
numbers in the late summer after
moons. Numerous cases have been
reported to me and | have seen the
same with my own eyes, where these
birds were shot down by the dozens
merely for the practice OF shooting,
and the sport OF seeing them fall.
Some shooters donot even go topick
them up, and | have seen wounded
bullbats lying about the ground
late the next day after they were
shot.
''The Audubon Society of North
Carolina appeals to the good people
of the State to use their influence in
every way possible in behalf of the
buflbat, and to see to it that the
dreadful sufferings caused by the
thoughtless slaughter Of these birds
in the past shall not be reported in
the State this summer

Northern Views Changing.


'harlOtte Observer.
The Delaware lynching continues
to do good service in opening the
eyes OF the Northern people, not to
the horrors of Il lynching, but to the
horrors of its cause, as known in the
South. Since the Wilmington occur
renee the views Of many Northern
people concerning conditions in the
South have been modified, and it is
even turning Republicans into Demo-
Gratis. Mr. Martin H. Spencer. a
Chicago man, who was in Washing
ton a few days ago, remarked to a
Post reporter that he had never vet
voted anything but IL Republican
ticket, and yet, in view of recent Oc-
currences in Delaware and Indiana,
IF the Democrats will adopt sen
sible platform, they will get my ballot
next year. And what do you think
is this Chicago mans idea of IL sen
sible platform? Read it as he states
it himself:
Let the Democrats in the next
Presidential campaign declare for
! sound money, Il reasonable tariff, the
repeal OF the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution, and | honestly
believe they will sweep the country.
The people of the North are lust be-
ginning to realize the sOundness of
the Southern view in regard to dis
franchising the blacks. and just such
occurrences as the outrage in Della
| ware and the mob outbreak in Evans
vile, are doing an educational work.
| 1t has taken Il long time to learn the
| lesson, but once let the American
people catch it and they will act
: quickly
\ Chicago Republican promising to
| vote the Democratic ticket if by do
| ing so he is given the chance to vote
for the disfranchisement of the negro.
And yet it is as he says, that "the
Northern people are just beginning
to realize the soundness OF the South
ern view in regard to disfranching the
| blacks. 1t has taken a long
time to learn the lesson. but once let
the American people catch it and
they will act quickly
| MIR. Spelcer has decided ideas on
| what he calls the delusion of equal
| ity, which he thinks is at the bottom
OF the trouble and ought to be de-
| stroyed. "As long as any fancied
idea of equality exists, political, So
| cial or otherwise" he SAYS. ':there
| will be race conflicts and mob VIC
| lence. In absolute disfranchisement.
! by which the delusion of equality will
| be permanently destroyed, lies the
only remedy, and there will be found
! statesmen bold enough to advocate
| it in the next Congress.
Undoubtedly the equality idea has
much to do with the race troubles.
especially i'll the North, but it is only
one of the many causes contributing
to the Acknowledgement of the negro,
| a movement which the Northern peo-
pie are beginning to recognize as a
Just and necessary one.

The South in the Saddle.
Florida Times-Union.

Florida Times-Union.
The rise in cotton during he last
few months came TOO late to greatly
benefit the farmers, but it contains
for them much promise for the future
if they do not kill their prospects by
greatly charging their acreage.
Counting the value of the seed, the
farmers will have received by the
close ii the year a considerable sum
above Il half billion dollars for their
cotton. The cotton crop will bring
dred million dollars, and that part
of it which Southern spectators have
gained will circulate in the South the
same as that which went to the
farmers.
A gratifying feature i'll connection
with the dealings on the cotton eX
changes during the last few months
is found in the fact that the South
has led in the movement for higher
prices, and time and time again when
the market showed a tendency to de-
| cline supporting orders from the
South have forced it up. To IL
greater extent than ever before in its
history the South has dictated the
price OF it's principal product.
Every man in the South is interest
ed in high priced cotton. The men
who grow the cotton and get the
money for it do not keep it. 1t goes
into the general circulation, and all
classes get their share of the prosper
ity it brings.
| TVis year the cotton mills of the
South will consume about two and a
quarter million bales. At the present
| rate of growth they will consume at
| least four million bales in five years,
| and in ten, more than half as much
as the largest crop ever grown. This
fact will have it's favorable effect
| on prices. The mills elsewhere will
find stronger competition in buying
and the rapidly increasing demands
OF the world will give them a growing
field for their products.
Progress in China and Japan will
make new records for trade. The
latter is already consuming goods
almost Oh an European scale, and
China will make phenomenal strides
as a consumer for many years to
| come.

GEN. STONEWALL JACKSON.
His Death Whether From Union or
Confederate Fire a Mooted Cues
tim


Gen John b. Gordon. in Scribners Magazine.
] had been with my new command
but Il short time when the great battle
of charlottesville occurred. 1t was
lust before this bloody engagement
that myyOung brother had so accur-
ately and firmly predicted his own
death, and it was here the immortal
Jackson fell. / never write or pro-
nOunce this name without an impulse
to pause in veneration for that Amer
lean phenomenon. The young men
of this country cannot study the
character OF General Jackson without
benefit to their manhood, and for
those who are not familiar with his
characteristics | make his descriptive
allusiOn to him.
AS to whether he fell by the fire OF
his own men, or from that of the
Union men i'll his front, will perhaps
never be definitely determined. The
general, the almost universal belief
at the South is that he was killed by
n vOlley from the Confederate lines;
but have had grave doubts Of this
raised in my own mind by conversa-
tions with thoughtful Union officers,
who were at the time in his front,
and near the point where he was
killed. 1t seems to me quite possible
that the fatal ball might have come
from either army. This much-mOoted
question as to the manner of his
death is, however, OF less consequence
than the manner OF his life Any life
of such nobility and strenth must al
ways be Il matter of vital import and
interest
But mOreimportant than anything
| have yet said OF jackson may be
comprised, | think, in the observa-
ton that he added to Il marvellous
genius for war q character as man
and Christian which was absolutely
without blernish. His child-like trust
and faith, the simplicity, sincerity
and constancy of his transformations
piety did not come with the war.
nor was it changed by the trials and
dangers of war. If the war affected

word and example were leading tC

If the matter were less horrible the
efforts of the Mort hern newspapers to
explain away the Delaware burning
of Il ncgl., ut the stake, would be III
dicrOus. The SIM explains that the
incident was due to the fact that the
lvnching germ has spread. The
HeraM dilates at great length upon
the alleged fact that the mob was led
by SOuthcrncr, "a broad-shOulder-
ed mOtOrman from South Carolina"
and that II kcntuckian on II white
''hoss" urged the mob on. Another
charges that the mob was led by a
Virginian. And there you are. The
South, by hook or crook, is to be
made responsible for The affair.
In thus tacitly assuming that their
readers are cithcr fools or suckers,
our Northern contemporaries pay Il
high compliment to their clientele.
For surely no man endowed with Il
mOdicum OF intelligence would sWal-
low this puerilc twaddle by which it
is sought to shift the responsibility
for the Delaware horror from the
shoulders Of he community where 1t
belongs. We have no hesitation III
saying that il the crime had been
committed iii tIe South the negro
would have been lynched, eXpedi-
tiousIy and completely. There would
not have been amy waiting Il week
about it. The negro in the case
would probably never have been
landed in jail alive. But We do object
to this attempt to make the South
responsible for IL Iynching i'll Della
ware. Our Northern friends should
have the courage, the decency and
the manlineSs to carry the RESPONSE
bility for their own acts and not at
tempt the cOWardly dodge Ofputtine
the blame on somebody else.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
gose through life hearing load OF misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss Of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordcred digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver IS
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deraneed, headaches invariably follow. 10
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases Of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Wcstrici, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows
