borne by every one that handles
American cotton from the grower to
the spinner. Looking at these
American bales one cannot wonder
that the European thinks American
cotton is not worth more than eight
cents a pound. The cotton itself is
the best of its kind in the world"
In closing, Mr. Dale said:
Although the main purpose of the
International Cotton Congress has
nothing to commend itself to Ameri-
cans, we should not lose sight of the
many mutual advantages in interna-
tional intercourse and a better lc
quaintance with our foreign friends.
We have many interests in common
with them. There are many lines of
work that would be forthebenefit of
ed the minor questions already taken
up by the International Cotton
Congress, such as improving the ball
ing of cotton unifying the weights
and measures of the textile world,
and combating the evils of specua-
ton. My visit to Manchester led
me to believe that the cotton manu-
facturers Of Europe are DESTROYS Of
cooperating with the cotton grow
America, and that they would be glad
to send representatives to this coun-
try to investigate on the spot certain
questions whose solution is for the
benefit of ALL They are restrained
from taking this step by the fear that
such a visit i'm the absence of for
NAL investigation from the manufac-
turers and growers of America would
be taken for an affront, as an unwar-
rantable intrusion into their neigh
ibors affairs There are. however.
many conditions in the United States
which they, as buyers of 100000
bales of American cotton every year.
have a right to investigate on the
spot and discuss AYith authority.
This field for discussion could be
greatly extended with benefit to all
and without arousing any conflicting
or divergent interests, If the cotton
growers and manufacturers of the
United States would meet foreign
manufacturers half way in their evil
dent desire for a friendly interna-
tional conference"

Adjutant General T. r. Robertson,
who desires that a regiment COM

of the State be mobolized in Raleigh

FATE OF TURNPIKE
That at WiIkesboro Hangs
in the Balance.
Parties at Private Interest Not Putting
Up Money, and the State Questions
Whether It Ought TO Add to
$4,000 Already Invested.

The Board of Directors of the State s
but only routine business was trans
acted. There were present all the
members, these being Chairman j. G.
Hackett, of North Wilkesboro j. p.
Kerr, of Asheville; John ID. Dawes, of
Elm City; w. e. Grassland, of Diggs,
and DR.. r. III. Speight. of Edgecombe.
The meeting adjourned to another
session to be held on the 28th of this
month, and at this time the matter
of conditions on the Wilkesboro and
Jefferson Turnpike will be considered,
the matter then to be referred TO the
Council of State, the two bodies to cons
slider this together.
Work is now being done on the
turnpike by fifty convicts, and up to
last May private parties at interest in
the locality have been paying for dy-
Mantle for blasting, for tools and for
powder. Since May this paying has
stopped and the State is doing every
thing, so Mr.. ]. p. Kerr of the board
stated yesterday.
The State has thus far invested
$4,000 of the $4,000 spent. The
Turnpike Company was incorporated
with a capital of $4,000. and at the
last session of the Legislature this
was increased to $125,00O. The State
is allowed stock for every $1,000 worth
of work done and this amounts now To
$4,000. The work has been going on
little over three years and to last
April the investment of the State was
about $4,000.
Now the private aid has been With
darawn and the State has been asked
to do everything. 1t is this condition
which is to be discussed at the meet
ing on the 28th of this month.
There is some talk in the west OF
an electric line along the turnpike
this for passenger and lumber bust
ness, but there is nothing definite ir
this to come before the board. The
road is expected to greatly Facilitate
trade in its section and to keep II
North Carolina much trade now goins
out of our borders. The section has
vast resources untouched and the com
pletion of the turnpike will be of ma
terial value.

Alexander Mclean was arrested Mon
day last at Victoria Il. c., by Ca

the American consul acting for the
Department OF justice under an in
dictment obtained more than q year
ago at San Francisco on a charge OF
conspiracy in fitting out the schooner
"Carmencita," IN violation of the seal
ing law. A telegram received at the
State Department today announcing
the arrest, says that the "Carmencita"
had baen refitted under the name of
the "Acapulo'' of alleged Mexican
registry, and with d crew made up or
men said 20 be as "choice band of
robbers and cut-throats as have man
ned pirate craft since the days OF

the sealing reserves, and although an
American. carrying in large part an
English crew, he has not been regis
tered under either American or Brit

countries for the protection of the
sealing industry has not applied. He
