ADJUSTMENTS.
GOVERNMENT ENTERTAINING.
Some of the Ways in Which it WOuI'
 Retard the South.

Retard the South.
 Washington, Jan. 2.--(Special Corre- spondence. )--Letters received by some of the Senators and Representatives from Southern States indicate that there IS considerable opposition In that sec ton of the country to the proposition to confer on the Interstate Commerce Commission authority to fix transpor- tatfon charges and the opinion that legislation should be confined to the prevention of rebates and discfimina- lions seems to be growing, especially in the South. The reason for this IS that many persons in that section Of carefui consideration fear that, under any system of rates made by the Gov ernment, the South would not have re- latively as favorable rates as at pres
 The present adjustment of rates af- fecttng the Southern States has been gradually evolved through the constant efforts of the railways of that section to develop an increased volume of traf- fc by encouraging the establishment of new industries along their her lines and i6y in developing the natural resources of the Southern States as rapidly as pos sible The rapid growth of the cotton Is cited as an illustration of what has been done in this direction In 1870 there were only 151 cotton mills in the there were 766 Southern cotton mills in operation with s.211,734 spindles. and still more mills were Deln8 erected A generation ago the Southern cotton mills were manufacturing chiefly the coarser grades of goods. principally for local consumption. They are now turn ing out all grades and their products are on sale In all the markets of the world Another illustration of the srroVth of the cotton manufacturing in dustry of the South is afforded by the statistics of the consumption of raw cotton. Iii 1881 the Southern mills used only 221 900 bales of cotton, while bales In the year ended August 3l, I00b. the Southern mills used 2,140,151 bales, and the New England mills g. f2s.s2p bales These figures show an enormous increase in the output of the Southern mills and they show that in the last manufacturing year those mills for the first time used more cotton than was used In New England.
 1t is contended that this remarkable deyelopment of the cotton manufactur- ing industry of the South would have been absolutely impossible but for the co-operation of the railways in that section. The managers of the railways of the South have realized that the prosperity of their lines depended upon fheir being able 10 build up prosperous communities if their territory and to develop a constantly increasing volume of traffic. With this end in view they have elicouraaed the establishment of cotton factories along their lines, have made favorable rates on the raw mate ria1 to Southern mills, and have made rates on the products of those mills mat have enabled them to compete sue 1 reesfuIly in common markets with the | eroduots of mills in other localities. | TAa real development os tha eot4A~ J
