THE SOUTH'S IMPERIAL STAPLE.

Over S., 600, 900, 600 is invested
in cotton mills in Europe and
America dependent upon the south
for their raw material. 1t is esti-
mated that 10, 900, 600 people in
Great Britain alone live on the cot
ton industry Of that country. The
balance OF trade in favor of the
United States depends upon our
cotton exports. which pow annual
ly reach 400. 900, 900, or more than
the worlds gold production. OF
this royal crop, imperial in magni-
tude aud in domination OF the
worlds financial and manufactur-
ing interest. the south holds a
world-monoply. It's ability to in
crease cotton production, are limit
ed only by its labor supply. Econo
mic forces will of necessity bring
about great increase in popula-
ton and thus prepare the way for
vast expansion in manufacturing
and in production as the price and
demand may justify. The south
produces so per cent, Of the cotton
for the Ir9, 900, 900 spindles in the
world, but has less than 10, 600, ,ooo
spindles itself. Think of the limit
less possibilities for expansion in
this industry alone when you are
studying the future of the South.

WHEN NEWS OF PEACE CAME
How the ST. Petersburg Crowds List
ened 10 Good News


ened 10 Good News
About o O'Clock, the program an
nounced. there would be an open-air
display OF stereoptieon pictures OF tie
war. Here Ia the semi-darkness-for
the electric arc lamps are not too nU-
merous and too much light would have
spoiled the effect OF the pictures
stood a crowd OF 1000 or 5000 Rus
slams No circumstances could be
more favorable for the free display OF
whatever feeling swayed the crowd
A lecturer with stentorian voice ex-
planned each picture as il was thrown
upon the screen. The crowd applauded
freely and was as often silent The
first picture shown was the most pop
ular. II was the portrait of Admiral
Makarofr, who lost his life when his
flagship was blown up at the very be
ginning OF the war He was instantly
recognized and loudly cheered- There
was considerable cheering for Verest-
chagin. the painter. who persisted with
Makaroff, says W. S. Stead in the
American Monthly Review Of Reviews
When the portrait OF Gen Linevitch
was shown there was a faint. half
subdued murmur OF applause Ii was
followed by the portrait OF Gen. Kuror
patkin-
There was not single cheer. A
boy near me whisfled- But no other
sound broke the silence. The crowd
looked at their general with icy stiii-
ness. The hero Of so many mastery
retreats excited no enthusiasm. evoked
no gratitude Then followed some pic
lures OF incidents of the war which
were followed with keen interest. but
which elected little remark The lee
turer made one observation, in the
course Of his explanations. which pos
sesxed a certain tragic-comic pathos OF
its own. After describing the heroism
OF the Russian soldier-which. indeed.
cannot be too highly praised-he as
sured his hearers that IF the japanese
had not been In such hurry to make
peace Gen Linevitch and his men
would have given them a tremendous
thrashing" The crowd received this
gloss upon the peace negotiations with
stolid indifference. Possibly this may
come to be accepted as the popular
legend. 1t is near enough the belief
OF many well-informed persons to have
a chance of general currency.
