The Chicago Tribune, which keeps UP
with the criminal statistics of the coun-
try, makes the announcement that there
was not a single lynching anywhere in
the United States during the month of
November. 1t further says hat this
is the first time since 1885 that any one
month has been passed in which there
was not a single person lynched in the
United States. And yet we are told that
the country is growing worse day by
day.

STAGNATION IN NEW ENGLAND.

A number of our contemporaries,
including the Baltimore Sun, have
found in the Railway World a sug-
suggestive theme for interesting dis
course. New England ~Stagnation"
is the title under which the Sun re-
produces, with comments that are not
unfriendly, the pessimistic deliveran-
ces of the Railway World intended to
demonstrate that New England has
entered upon a period of s~tagnatlon
and decay. The Post has a strong
and abiding faith in the capacity of
Yankee Land for taking care OF it
self. Despite the fact that present
conditions in that region are not en-
tirely cheering, we are not expecting
New England to take down the shut
tiers and close the shop. Ever since
emigration to the west began to draw
upon her native stock for the upbuild-
ind of great states there have been
gloomy predictions of her future, but
she can still employ the last words
Of her greatest statesman: II still
live" And she does not live, as an
old hymn puts it, "At a poor, dying
rate but lives, on the whole, rather
nobly, doing her full share for the
promotion of good Notwithstanding
ton Post.
New England has made her wealth
by manufacturing the raw materials
of other sections of the country. She
is not a producer. She simply makes
the profits on turning the raw ma
terial into the manufactured article.
She began to lose her occupation
when the south began to build cot
ton factories. From the time the
south began to produce cotton up to
the present day the New England
people have made their living off of
the people of our section. Fol- years
the south with her slaves has been

they tried slavery and found it did
not a Then they shipped their
slaves to the south and built cotton
factories and reaped the profits of
the slave labor of the south. 1t can
not be denied that up to the time Of
the emancipation Of the slaves the
south was growing poorer n poorer

the resources of the south. The north

has come when we LAY begun to
realize the fact that we have for years
been adding to the wealth of the New
England states by letting them man

our own mills. Now we are putting
| up cotton mills and turning into cloth
the raw material as it comes from
the field. Hence the south is making
wonderful progress and the New
England states are s~tagnating. We
! are not surprised to hear that the
| New England states are in a condi-
ton of stagnaticn. Their occupation
is gone. They can no longer make
a living Off of the industry of the

England states have Heretofore en-
joyed will be transferred to the SOUTH.

THE NEGRO AND COTTON PRO-
RCCT1ON.

On the subject OF negro labor and the
cotton production Of the south The
Manufacturers Record of current date
has the following:
A correspondent or the Manchester
Guardian. after a three-month trip
through the cotton belt of the south. is
convinced that the question OK increased
acreage depends almost entirely upon
he temper OF the negroes who are at
once the most shiftless. contented.
thriftliness. happy people in the world"
he says that the bulk OF the cotton Is
grown by negro tenant-farmers. and
that although for the distant future the
capacity OF the soil for cotton-bearing
IS practically unlimited. ii viii always
rest with the indolent negro whether or
not the south turns out enough cotton
for the whole world. Three months OBJ
~servation has given this correspondent
an inadequate view of the situation.
He does not seem to know that more
whites han negroes are engaged in
cotton-raising and that the ~dispropor-
ton is steadily increasing. Moreover.
with this increase in favor OF the whites.
there is improvement in methods under
the spur of education looking to a great
er product per acre than a greater acre
age. The well known characteristics of
the negro are a drawback upon cotton
growing. But it is a drawback that
may be expected to diminish steadily.

About Your
New House

When you build that new
house you want to be sure that
the work is properly done. If
you are a careful man you will
see that every part of the house
from roof to basement has been
built according to the plans. You
will also see to securing ample
fire insurance the moment you
have received the building from
the contractor. This is the way

provides against disaster which
