fitably as it can be grown, with the re-
suit that cotton mills have sprung up
all over the South, especially in the
Carolinas. These southern mills have
brought about a decided change in the
lines of commercial distribution and
nave likewise stimulated competition
to such an extent that cotton prices
are soaring, to the intense satisfaction
OF the southern planter. The increased
activity of the Gulf ports within the

factor in contributing to the present

know most about oriental music say
that it has complex harmonies which
we are too obtuse TO catch. We are
ear-blind to their color. They have

first people in the history of the

harmonical technics. back in the days

fact, almost no limit, except that i'm

Franck and his followers may be
compared to the most elaborate
architecture-that for instance, of
