ENORMOUS DEMAND
FOR COTTON GOODS
Within Ten Years the Demand For
American Cotton May Be 20
Million Bales Annually


there is no reason why the South
ern farmers should have to de-
crease the cotton acreage In order
to keep the price up to reasona-
ble figure, and discussing the stu
ton it says:
From the rate at which new
cotton mills are building, the
planters of the South need hardly
.curtail their acreage in order to
get good prices for their product.
Reference has frequently been
made in these columns TO the rap
id increase in the cotton manufac-
turing industry of the South. but,
odd as it may seem, this is moth
ing by comparison with what IS
going on in England.
Owing to several causes, one
of which is the end of the war in
the East, and probably not the
least of which is the cheap and
abundant supply of material from
last years American crop, the cot
ton manufacturing industry of
England has lately taken boom
of remarkable dimensions.
" A trade circular recently issued
by Manchester concern tells Ct
no less than ffty-fVe new mills
built during the last year in the
Lancashire district, representing
4,775, 600 spindles, which is very
nearly half of all the mills in the
South. Many other new mills are
% course of construction, and
.1any loss IDLE have been brought
into use again
= A correspondent of the Manu-
facturers' Recoad reports that all
these mills are working to their
full capacity, many having orders
one and two years ahead. The sup
ply of cotton goods still laos te-
hind the demand, Notwithstanding
the high pressure at which the
mills are working.
The steady working of Ameri-
can mills, especially those of the
South, and their steady increase
by the enlargement Of old plants
and the building of new ones prove
that this activity is not confined to
Europe, but that the demand for
cotton goods is practically world
wide, and that there is unlimited
profit to be had both in the grow
ing and the manufacture of this
great staple.
That the cotton manufacturing
interests of Old England will even
tually be transferred to the South
as those of New England are now
being transferred, is more than
probable, unless the move is an
ticipated by the investment OF
American capital in Southern
mills.
In the meantime, the plain les
son of the situation is that cotton
growers in this country are apt to
find their best profits in raising as
much cotton as they can pick out,
rather than by restricting the cul-
ture in order to steady prices.
Cotton provides the cheapest
clothing that mankind has ever
known, and the number of people
who use it, or who increase their
annual supplies of it, is growing
all the time. Cut out speculation
and give the mills all the cotton
they can use at fair prices, and IN
ten years the American crop will
rise to 20, 900, 900 bales if, indeed,
the labor can be found to pick out
a crop of that size.

70 REACH THE HEARTS OF
MEN AIM AT THE CHILD.
BY REV. II. III. WHITAKER.

When a speaker tells an audience
that he has nothing to say, | get

of that kind is apt to be long winded.
/ had rather feed two hungry men
than one, who says he don't feel like
eating. Public speakers are some
times guilty of trying to practice a
form, springing az I"prise upon their
hearers.
They would make the impression
that they are wholly unprepared; have
not considered the subject, and there
fore, what they may say will be en-
tirely impromptu. Having thus pre-
pared the audience for very COM
monplace talk, they spring a surprise
by swinging off into set speech,
hundred times, and, with every SEN
tence and word of which they are as
familiar as they are with their fingers
and thumbs
Several years ago a gentleman and
| made temperance speeches in Abing-
don, Va. The gentleman was first on
the program, and, when introduced,
he spent at least five minutes inform
ing the audience that he was no tenn
perance speaker; had not studied the
subject very much, and could, there
fore say but little, if anything, that
would throw any light on it.

that l had fine opportunity, before
me, to make some reputation, having
to follow, as l supposed, man who
had nothing to say; and, from what /
inferred from his dull start-off, he

But he was a first-class fraud. After
making us all believe he was totally
and couldn't say anything,

into a mastery discussion of the tenn

that he was using my facts and

was as solid as brick wall, and

lustration. He did not tell any laugh

Sometimes I think that 1t were best
To simply stop; that one were blest
To lay aside his oars and rest.

His thoughts, with eyes too tired to

To put away his cares and sleep.

Borne onward to the farther sea,
All dreamless, to eternity;
While all the ages past him sped,
A voiceless silence overhead,
Dead, dead, forever, even dead.
Nc more to see the smiles and tears,
Nc more to feel the hopes and fears.
No more to hear with weary ears
The bitter wall. the human cry;
No more to see with weary eye
LIES sad procession pass him by,
No more to feel the quick pang start,
No more with those he loves to part;
No more to bear the broken heart;
But through the world and its increase
And through the world to its decrease
To be at everlasting peace.
I've thought that it were better so;
But whether to such a fate we go

There's music In the lowin' Of the cattle
on the hills,
An in the lazy laughter Of the waterfalls
an rills;
In the singin' of the bluebird an the hum
min of the bee,
An the ole woodpecker peckin' on the
holler tree
There's music in the blossom an the clear
blue of the sky,
In the screamin' Of the chicken hawk
a-circlin' way up high:
But the sweetest songs of June time amt
nowheres near a smell
To the music long at noontime of the ole
dinner bell.
When plowin' In the distant fields, clean
out o. sight o. home,
A-wishin'. too, with all your heart that
Dime time would come,
You watch the furries stretch away aroun'
the lower bend
An potter round a bit before you start for
t'other end,
An you bend your read and listen to
ketch the welcome sound
An calc'late It's purt nigh noon by shad-
ders on the ground.
When through the hazy atmosphere, your
longin' to dispel,
Comes the furoff silv'ry music of the ole
Inner bell.
When the harvest day Is over an the toll
ers' work is done,
Over wavin' corn an clover tinted by the
settin' sun,
Low an sweet the distant music Of the
ole bell floats along,
Borne upon the evenin' breezes, mingled
with the reapers' song,
An you look acrost the medder, past the
ole crick windin' through,
Where the ringer sweet Is waitin' with a
welcome there for you.
oh, there amt no Joys of summer that

The Persistent
PAssenSer


HTfcketsr'
The lightning express had just
moved out Of the Union station, and
HE conductor had emerged from the
baggage car and begun to take up
tickets. Coming to a gentleman with
o pale complexion, red hair and gold
Epectacles, he punched his ticket hand
Ing 1t back with the remark. Don't
stop at Blimton."
Don't stop at Blimton? Then what
did the agent sell me a ticket on this
train fort"
The conductor passed on without a
reply. clicking his punch, turning from
right to left and left to right, like the
president bowling to a crowd.
See here, Mr.. Conductor. II you
don't put me OF at Blimton, I'll make
1t hot for you"
"And If you don't shut up I'll put
you Cd in 4 swamp"
The passenger was very angry, NUT
terins to himself about the tyranny Of
railroad men. When the train reached
Bimton, he pulled the bellcord and
made for the door. The conductor,
who happened to be in the car, seeing
the act, gave a signal to 60 On, but not
before the train had slowed down and
the passenger had jumped. Then the
conductor gave a terrific stop pull on
the cord and made for the door him.

were carrying the Hfeless body of the
passenger into the baggage car, where
it remained till the train reached its
first regular stop.
Six months after this event the night
express carried a passenger who pre-
scented a ticket to BImton and was
informed that only local trains stopped
at that station. When the train reached
Blimton. the passenger went to the
door and gave a leap in the dark. A
brakeman who saw him gave a stop
signal, and the remains Of the passen-

time table was issued cutting of its
at Blimton. When the first train
had passed that station, a brakeman
stopped the train, hurried to the con-
ductor and announced that a passenger
had jumped and had undoubtedly been
killed. The conductor sank into a seat
and directed the brakeman to go back
and find the body. A search was made
with lanterns, but the remains were not
