After calling attention to the interesting fact that
the South has one half Of the iron ore Of the United
States and nearly three times much coal Great
Britain, Germany and Pennsylvania combined, the
MaDufaCturers Record waxes enthusiastic in its
cital Of other rich endoWments Of the Southland. OF
course, the South has an uDbreakable monopoly Of
the worlds cotton supply. Other cOuntlies raise
cotton. Egypt raises good cotton, but not much Of
it. India raises much more, but it is Of short sta
pie and not we'll suited to European mills. Exper-
iments in raising cotton in equatorial and southern
Africa have yielded meager results. All the rest Of
the world does not and not raise than one
quarter as much cotton rs the South does. The
South has the only cotton belt. Every dollar Of
gold dug out Of the ground in year is not enough
70 pay the SOuths bill against Europe for cotton.
But the South is rapidly making progress in cotton
manufacturing for which it's coal and its water pow
er give it advantages In time the Souths bill
against Europe will be more for cotton goods than
for raw cotton. The South dominates the phosphate
rock and sulphur trade Of the world has half Of the
standing timber Of the country and much Of the rich
est oil territory known. The South produces all
the sugar. all the rice and of the tobacco
grown in the United States, and adds to these 8OO,
OOO 900 buehels Of grain yearly.

wrong, the crop grown last year the largest
ever made, with the exception the IL 1888 bales
made in 1898 anC the 13 557 900 produced in 1904.
The history of this crop carries two instructive
lessons for cotton growers, factors and spinners:
The first is that the size Of the crop cannot be regu
lated by any eOrt of organization for concerted ac
tion among the farmers and planters.
Last year the Southern Cotton Association made
every effort through it's organizations in all the
Southern states to restrict the acreage and hold
down the yield in order to overcome the low
prices caused by the bumper crop of the year be-
fore. 1t widely heralded that farmers in all the
cotton states were acting upon the advice of the
sociation and probably nearly every farmer thought
that all the other farmers we're doing so.
But when the facts became known it was found
that about the usual acreage had been planted ev-
erywhere except in Texas, and there late and wet
impede0 planting and cut short the acreage;
Texas, accordingly made only 1922, 900 bales last
year, instead Of the 100000 or more she would
doubtless have made had the season been good.
The second lesson, and it is cheering one for
the South, is that the world wants plenty OF cot
ton and will pay coed prices for it. Tne big crop
OF 1905, with some surplus from the bumper crop of
1904, has sold at prices which have made the farm
ers happy and nave contributed largely to the gem
eral prosperity of the South.
This years crop, now maturing, promises to be
larger than that of last year. but the world will want
more cotton during the coming twelve months than
it did during the last. New mills are building all
the time and the use of cotton goods is expanding
at rate that will absorb all the cotton the South
can grow.
II the cotton is net rushed too fast upon the mar
ket this years crop ought to sell at prices as good
those which prevailed during the statistical year

The Jewish outlook., 1906-11-23

ut has been alleged that most of the
mixed marriages are contracted between
Christian noblemen and rich Jewish heir
esses. This is disproved by the figures in
the table of mixed marriages. The proper
tion of Jews who marry Christian women
is larger than that of Christians who marry
Jewesses.
The Jewish outlook., 1906-11-23

1901 to 1903 it was already 1914 per
cent. In former years we are told that
the Jewish rabbis refused to admit chill
dren born from mixed marriages to
Judaism, but Of late years the Jewish
community in that city authorized sew
eral Jewish physicians to clrcumclze
such newborn boys. This is not con-
fined to Copenhagen alone, but is char
acteristic of Scandinavia in general. In
Denmark there were contracted, during
1891, 3OS Jewish marriages, of which
1S7 were pure and 121 mixed, i. e., GAIL
per cent. Since then the increase has
been enormous. In the neighboring
country Sweden, it is stated that the
number Of mixed marriages is much III
excess of the number Of pure Jewish
marriages.
quently marry Christians. This is par
ticularly the case with the French aris-
tocracy, who often marry Jewish heir
esses.* In Italy the Jews to-day are
thoroughly assimilated, and many OBJ
servers state that mixed marriages are
almost as frequent as pure marriages
In eastern Europe they are less fire.
quent. In Austria, during 1901, there
were COuGIdCCcu ,OIO pure cCWlSl Iudl-
riages and LAT mixed marriages But
here we can see how far isolation acts as
a preventive Of intermarriage. Of the
lat mixed marriages contracted during
1901, SO were in the city Of Vienna and
25 in Bohemia. Although three-quarters
of all the Austrian Jews live in 'Galicia,
still not single case of intermarriage
was recorded there during the year. 1t
must also be mentioned that in Austria
intermarriage between Jews and Christ
ians is not permitted by the law, and in
many cases Of mixed marriages, one OF
the parties adopts the religion Of his or
her partner, and the marriage is thus
recorded as pure Christian or pure Jew
ish; or one or both declare themselves as
dissenters (Konfessionslos) and appear
on the registration lists as the marriage
Of Jew with dissenter, or Of dissent
ers. AS result Of this condition the
available figures do not by any meass
represent the true condition of affairs.
Up to 1895 intermarriage was en-
tirely prohibited by law in Hungary, un-
less one Of the parties was converted to
the religion Of his or her partner Since
this law was abolished in 1895, mixed
marriages are taking place in large num-
bers During the nine years, 1895 to
TT has been alleged that most of the
mixed marriages are contracted between
Christian noblemen and rich Jewish heir
esses. This is disproved by the figures in

MILLER OFFERED REWARD
TO CHARLES KING IF HE GAVE
FALSE STATEMENTS IN Po- So
LICE COURT.
Young Fellow Held for Perjury Con-
fesses, But No ction Will Be
Taken Against Miller.

In police court yesterday morning,
Prosecutor Jessup stated that the
two boys, Charles King and Louis
Kettler, who were locked up Tuesday
for alleged perjury, in the case
against nj. r. Miller, charged with
selling liquor to minors, among
whom were King and Kettler, that
the boys had made a confession to
him that their testimony had been
false and Mr.. Jessup asked the court
clemeney for them. Judge Con-
verse stated that he would take no
hand IN the matter, and if the pros
ecutor did not care to prosecute the
boys, the matter would be dropped
as far as the court was concerned.
In an affidavit Charles KING, who
it was claimed bought the whiskey
from Miller, stated that on January
Is about 6 in the evening, Miller
came to him while he was standing al
the corner of Eighth and MAR
streets, waiting for ear, and said
"Ain't you Charley King?' King
responded eyes, and then Miller
said: "When you are up in police
