Judge Lewis read that paragraph before
his Newport News audience. and, ac-
cortling to the Press, replied as follows:
"Thc man who wrote that would not
only steal your ballots, but your pocket
book, If he got chance. The man who
wrote that Is more ut to occupy felon's
cell than the chair of Leutenant-Gover-
nor of Virginia. He Is n coward and
cur, and l will uphold everything say
about him in any way he sees fit to take
1t up. !
This is an outrageous assault upon q
Virginia citizen OF unimpeachable char
acter, and after such an outburst of IN
yectvc Judge Lewis can no longer claim
that for his part he has done all that
was poss:5Tc 20 keep The campaign on the
high plane Of measures, not men, prin-

that q man of Judge Lcwis's character

offensive and coarse epthets, and there
is no doubt but that, their use will recoil
upon his own head.

as having enjoyed the occasion greatly.
The Governor looked much refreshed
as a result Of his brief recreation. and ho

understood that the visit OF Governor and
Mrs. Montague to the Rockefellers was
purely OF a social nature, and 80 far as

Value of Southern Cotton.

In 1855 the total value OF the Southern
cotton crop was $3l3 1883, 245. The crop OF
1859 was valued at s2s2,172,947, being
the lowest figure reached within the Pc
Rod named From that time on there
was steady Increase, until the crop
of 1904 reached the enormous figures OF
s6tS. 797, $50 and the crop OF 19O4-5 was
valued at S1ooto,ooo more than the pre-
yious year. From 1885 to 1905 the South
received for its raw cotton the enormous
sum Of s1e1s,sso40t!
1t is estimated that the crop of 19o5-6
will be about eleven million bales, against
thirteen and half million bales In the
wear before, and that It's value, including
cotton seed, will be in the neighborhood
of s63s, 100000.
This takes no account OF the oil pro-
duced from the cotton seeds, nor of cot
ton manufactures. In 1901 the Southern
cotton factories consumed 1.919,252 bales
of raw cotton; in 1905, 2,163,5o5 bales.
These figures arc taken from the report
of Latham, Alexander and Company, OF
New York, which has just come to hand,
and shows what wondrous strides the
South is making in the production and
manufacture of cotton. 1t has already
been shown that the total consumption
of raw cotton by the Southern mills in
the season of 1904-5 was 2,163,56 bales.
! For the same period the total consump-
ton by Northern, factories was 2,2S2 las n:
bales. When it is emembered that forty
years ago the cotton manufacturing In
OF States and that there was not single
cotton factory IN the South worthy Of the
name, this exhibit is little less than
marvellous.
