George B. Hiss, president of the Amerl
can Cotton Manufacturers Association
stated that he thought it quite probabl,
that, by the first of September, the tota
number of idle spindles in the cottor
manufacturing world dependent upor
American cotton would reach 10000, 900
When it is considered that but 900, 900
of the 125, 900 900 spindles in the entire
world are dependent upon American cot
ton, the Importance of this statement car
be realized 1t means that approximately
100000 people will be thrown out of en-
ployment and that counting an average
of $50 to the spindle $500 200, 900 of capital
will be temporarily idle.
The suffering and financial loss that
will result will not be confined to the
cotton manufacturing world alone, but
will affect many other industries and avo-
cations and hundreds of thousands of 9TH

''Mr. Hiss, what is the cause of this
deplorable condition." asked the reporter.
1.-THE question can be answered in one

LARGE STOCK OF MIsINFORMA
TON

The Chicago Chronicle probably knows
less about the South than any paper in
American. or to speak more accurately,
that paper has larger stock of misin-
formation about the South which it
lsdles out for the misleading of its read
ers than any other newspaper printed in
the country. Upon other topics it is I'M
usually well informed, but whenever it
writes about Southern crops, Southern
politics, Southern onditions-anything
that touches the South, it seems to have
facility for getting things wrong that
is as surprising as it is provoking. Its
latest PRONUNCIATION of misinformation is
contained in the following para graph:
1T is notorious that nearly all the cot
ton is the product of negro labor now,
as it was in the days of slavery. Ii it is
true, then, as the Southern whites allege.
that the employments of negroes are now
mere diversified than they formerly were.
the inference regarding their comparative
efficiency as free men is obvious
Mr.. Norman Walker, of New Orleans.
who has enjoyed advantages lot Studying
the production of cotton, sets the Chronicle
straight in the following statement:
THE biggest cotton producing county OF
the South Is Williamson county, Texas,
" hich produced IS, 237 bales, according TO
the census. Its population is 80, 736 white
and 1892 negroes. The negroes constitute
only Is per cent of the cotton labor. The
second biggest cotton producer is Ellis
county, also in Texas, with 1858 bales;
population 1926 whites, 4,S41 negroes. The
negroes furnish IL per cent. of the farm
labor and about the same percentage OF
the cotton crop. And so on down the
list. OF the nineteen biggest cotton coun-
ties in the South, sixteen are ovcrwhelm-
ingly white and nearly all of the work is
done by whites. This tendency has been
marked for years and the production OF
cotton in most of the Southern States is
shifting away from the black belt to the
white sections"
The Montgomery Advertiser substan-
tiates the assertion of Mr.. Walker 1t
says that a large percentage of the cot
ton crop of Alabama is produced by white
labor. The same thing is true in North
Carolina.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOB LAW.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOB LAW.
New York Sunday American
When the President of the United States,
free, white, and citizen of the United
States, took breakfast at the White
House, his official residence, with Booker
T. Washington, black, free, and citizen
of Alabama, as his guest, the seeds of
race strife throughout the country were
sown, and the harvest has been seen in
many places in several States Social
equality. as it is called, in those localities
in which negroes are few and unimportant,
between the Caucasian and the African
IS an impossibility, and is so recognized
by every one familiar with the antece-
dents, life, moral standards and racial
traits of the colored population. The col
ored people of the United States should
be protected in their legal rights, secure
from injury or harm, and should be af-
forded whatever opportunities the law can
give any one to rise in the world by their
own efforts.
The heavy tax upon the white people of
the South, burdened by oppressive debts
through Republican rascality and misrule
Is paid cheerfully to enable colored chill
dren to obtain rudimentary education, to
the expenses of which colored people
contribute practically no part. Towards
all other State expenses the white people
of the Southern States contribute nearly
all the cost, and the colored people, who
secure equal advantages, contribute prac-
tically nothing. The largest number of
criminals in the Southern States, the
largest number of the needy and shiftless
and the largest number of the turbulent
and lawless class there are colored. The
largest amount of labor is done by the
white population, and upon it falls nearly
the whole burden CT expense for the pur-
poses of government. But irksome and
unjust as these conditions are, intolerable
as they would be in any Northern district,
the white people of the South do not
complain against them, but they do reso-
lutely refuse to acknowledge any such
thing as social equality and a sample
of the evils and horrors to which it would
lead if adopted have been seen in the
encouragement which the Presidents ex-
ample gave to arrogant and ignorant ne
groes throughout the South to establish
their equality" 1t has led, of course, to
a revival of race bitterness in that sec
tion to collisions between the white and
colored population, and finally to such
feelings of rancour and apprehension
that in many portions of the South white
mobs have taken the law in their own
hands to mete out punishment to offend
ing negroes. There can be no equality
between white men and black. The ne
groes are the inferior race. They must
walk behind in the procession, and who
ever seeks to fill them with absurd and
mistaken notions of social equality. wheth-
er his position be high up or low down,
is no real friend of the colored race in
the United States.

AT THE sr.LoUIs EXPOSITION

That is good news that Mr.. Bruner
brings from Blowing Rock-that apple
growers have given one thousand dollars
to supplement the States fund to see that
North Carolina apples are attractively
shown at st. Louis. There are no finer
apples grown in the world than in North
Carolina, ard it only needs the investment
of money by men who study the bust
ness to make growing apples for market
one of the States chief sources of in
come, next to cotton and tobacco. Mr..
Moses II. Cone on his magnificent Watauga
county farm has an object lesson in apple
culture that viii be worth tens and thou
sands of dollars to the State.
The Governors plans for having North
Carolina's chief products shown at the
Worlds Fair are going well. He has re-
ceived about s., 900 in response to his let
ter. Mr.. Chatham and Mr.. Arendell have
raised about $4,000. The apple growers
have given $1,000. The tobacco men pro-
pose to raise $4,000. The other great in
terests of the State are to be canvassed
and there is no doubt that they will re-
spond generously to this patriotic APP
peal.

further informed that the affair has Gre
ated the most intense Indignation in the

| What does President Roosevelt think oil
this interesting incident? How can he
permit this negro to be suspended for
writing a note to a white woman, such
as any gentleman might write to a LADY,
If the negro can prove that he is a gen
tleman, and that he was entirely respect
ful and courteous in addressing this note
how can President Roosevelt permit him
to be punished? President Roosevelt in
vited negro to his house and invited him
to take meal and to sit at the table
with him and the members of his family
He held, so We are informed, that the
negro in question was a gentleman, and
entirely worthy to sit at the table with
the President or anybody else. IN other
words, Mr.. Roosevelt took the ground
that the man was to be judged by h.>
character, and that there should be no
discrimination against him on account OF
his race or color, or previous condition
of servitude. To be entirely consistent the
President cannot allow negro employees
OF government to be disciplined for TAX
ing special liberties which would not be
condemned in a white man.

BANKERS OPPOSE WATERING STOCK

N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
No clearer or sounder note affecting
the financial and industrial interests of
this country has been struck in a long
time than that sent forth by the Bankers
Association of Minnesota in the resolution
adopted at st. Paul on Wednesday in re-
gard to inflated securities of corporations.
The preamble declared the well known
fact that many corporations are issuing
stocks and bonds far in excess of the
value and cost Of the property which they
represent and asserted that such corpo-
rations in order to pay DIVIDENDS on such
over-issues of stocks and bonds charge
expansive and exhorbitant prices for
transportation and for manufactured ar
ticles, which have to be borne by the
consumer" The association in the body
of the resolution condemned "the issuing
of stocks and bonds by any corporation
in excess of the value which they repre-
sent, and favored the passage of law
by Congress placing all corporations "un,
der the control and subject to the super
vision of the bureau of corporations in
the deparement of commerce, when posi-
